This, like other scams, works so well that most folks aren''t even aware a thief in the night is robbing them little by little.\r\n\r\n<img class="alignright wp-image-1858" src="http://carolinacrossroads.news/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/single-role-toilet-paper.jpg" alt="single-role-toilet-paper" width="96" height="96" />Politicians feverishly maintain <span style="color: #000000;">that</span> there is a ''free lunch'' and we can continue spending money we don''t have without consequences, by creating endless deficits and outright money printing. The facts show otherwise, as inflation has destroyed purchasing power to the point where some can only afford to buy toilet paper in single rolls, one at a time. How many ever expected that wiping their butts would become a cause for concern?\r\n\r\nGovernment workers don''t share inflation''s burden, as they receive regular pay increases and ''cost of living adjustments'' (COLAs) regardless of performance or economic circumstances. We pay for problems others create.\r\n\r\nThis sweet deal for some has unfortunately destroyed public finances, as skyrocketing salary, pension, benefit and disability costs now eat up an enormous share of public budgets. Is it any wonder County, Municipal and School coffers are running on empty?\r\n\r\nAs dire as the situation is, it''s <em>''baked into the cake''</em> that things will get demonstrably worse unless we radically change course.\r\n\r\n<strong>BLUEPRINT for PROSPERITY</strong>\r\n\r\nFortunately, <strong>the key to success is in our pocket</strong>. It''s up to us to reach in, grab it and turn the lock that opens the door.\r\n\r\nWe must:\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Dramatically reduce expenditures</span> of Scotland County Government, Laurinburg City Government and Scotland County Schools.</li>\r\n 	<li>Organically grow ''real'' 21st century employment opportunities that provide living wage, family friendly jobs. We have the ability, do we have the will?</li>\r\n 	<li>Deliver ''cutting edge'' public education, freeing our children from the shackles imposed by today''s burdensome rules, regulations, curriculum''s, policies and politically driven agendas.</li>\r\n 	<li>Banish slavery once and for all, ridding ourselves from cruel and unjust dependence on <em>''institutionalized poverty''</em> designed to ensure that we and future generations remain in bondage.</li>\r\n 	<li>Eliminate the County''s regressive, corrosive, business killing ''Personal Property Tax''. Until this is done, there will be no economic rebirth.</li>\r\n 	<li>Get government out of the way, allow ''market forces'' to re-balance. The effects won''t be immediately apparent, and many currently feeding at the taxpayer''s trough would surely be displaced, but we either implement positive, rational, logical, necessary change in a planned, orderly manner while we still have options, or risk waiting until financial crisis overtakes us, guaranteeing extreme pain and an unpredictable outcome.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<strong>Here''s what we don''t need:</strong>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>More taxpayer funded commissions, boards, blue ribbon panels, study groups, pedigreed intellectuals, bureaucrats, grants, seminars or retreats.</li>\r\n 	<li>More highly compensated Economic Development gurus trying to bring back the ''good ole days'' by taking money from one taxpayer''s pocket and putting it in another, calling it ''job creation''.</li>\r\n 	<li>More nonsense like our ''Certified Retirement Community'' program.</li>\r\n 	<li>More commercial properties bulldozed to make way for additional taxpayer funded ''sculpture'' parks.</li>\r\n 	<li>More multi-million dollar boondoggles like Laurinburg City Council''s new ''Colonial Williamsburg'' City Hall/Police Department.</li>\r\n 	<li>More arrests of potheads (following months long intensive, expensive investigations) so we can build and fill yet more prisons, jails and lockups.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<strong>Rebuilding prosperity will be challenging, but it''s fully achievable if we want it bad enough. </strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Carolina Crossroads News</strong> understands the mission, knows what it takes to reach the goal and is willing to carry its share of the water.

Their service is greatly appreciated and in exchange they are well compensated.\r\n\r\nThe Police are our employees. They work for us. They are paid with local tax dollars.\r\n\r\n<em><strong>Americans are not required to obey laws that are unlawful or unconstitutional, nor is Law Enforcement empowered to enforce laws that defy the Constitution.</strong></em>\r\n\r\n<img class="size-medium wp-image-1021 alignright" src="http://carolinacrossroads.news/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/we-support-our-police-300x198.jpg" alt="we-support-our-police" width="300" height="198" />\r\n\r\nWhy does local law enforcement now feel it needs a cheerleading squad to post signs of support?\r\n\r\nIt''s true, the internet is brimming with <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style="color: #0000ff; text-decoration: underline;">videos</span></span> <span style="color: #0000ff;">http://youtu.be/g8Kx_bscRMo </span>showing Law Enforcement Officers (LEOs) harassing, abusing, pepper spraying, tasing, beating, robbing, arresting, shooting and killing innocent citizens.\r\n\r\nYes, LEOs are using powerful, unlawful means like <span style="color: #0000ff;">''<a style="color: #0000ff;" href="http://carolinacrossroads.news/who-is-spying-on-you/" target="_blank">Stingrays</a>''</span> to collect private information, conversations and metadata on <strong>each and every citizen, </strong>regardless of whether we are suspected of criminal activity. Do you also know that when an innocent looking van pulls up next to you at a traffic light, it could be the police using ''Backscatter X-Ray'' to look at everything inside you vehicle? Not only is this an unwarranted invasion of your privacy, it exposes everyone in the vehicle to harmful, cancer causing x-rays.\r\n\r\nSure, LEOs routinely <span style="color: #0000ff;"><a style="color: #0000ff;" href="https://youtu.be/kfzwjd8EWdo" target="_blank">stop citizens</a> </span>going about their normal business, in a ''supposed'' effort to prevent crime.\r\n\r\n<img class="size-medium wp-image-1601 alignleft" src="http://carolinacrossroads.news/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/police-shaking-person-upside-down-300x168.png" alt="police-shaking-person-upside-down" width="300" height="168" />FBI statistics disclose that in 2014 alone $4.5 billion was <span style="color: #0000ff;"><a style="color: #0000ff;" href="http://davidstockmanscontracorner.com/when-the-state-is-not- your-friend-police-asset-seizures-in-2014-exceeded-all-burglaries/" target="_blank">stolen</a></span> from the American people.\r\n\r\nHomes, cars, business assets and cash are being routinely <span style="color: #0000ff;"><a style="color: #0000ff;" href="http://www.naturalnews.com/041828_cops_innocent_civilians_civil_forfeit ure.html" target="_blank">seized</a></span>, without any charges filed or even the pretense of illegality or wrongdoing.\r\n\r\nIn contrast, the FBI states that only $3.5 billion was lost due to actual burglaries. <strong><em>That’s right; according to our own FBI, the vast majority of <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style="color: #0000ff; text-decoration: underline;">thefts</span></span></em></strong><span style="color: #0000ff;"><em> http://www.activistpost.com/2016/03/federal-asset-forfeiture-program-already-back-in-business.html</em></span><strong><em> are being committed not by burglars, but by Police</em>. </strong>Many Departments now build <em>''theft''</em> right into budgets so they can plan in advance how much to steal.<strong>\r\n</strong>\r\n\r\nIs it any wonder Americans increasingly view Police as dangerous predators? Should honest, God fearing citizens be forced to cower before those paid to serve and protect us?\r\n\r\nPolice recruits are trained to view the American people as ''the enemy''. Are LEOs increasingly becoming mafia style enforcers who make sure we don''t forget who’s really in charge?\r\n\r\nLEOs are often ex military, and while there can be valuable synergies between the two, there are important and fundamental differences as well.\r\n\r\nThose drawn to military and law enforcement careers often express a strong preference for <strong><em>order</em></strong> and <strong><em>control,</em></strong> versus <em><strong>individual freedom</strong></em> and <em><strong>liberty</strong></em>. This might work well in a military setting, but it can make things difficult when it comes to striking the <em><strong>right balance</strong></em> needed to ensure peace, security, freedom and liberty in an open society. LEOs must walk a fine line, theirs has never been an easy mission. In today''s politically charged atmosphere, it''s more challenging than ever.\r\n\r\nMany Departments screen potential recruits, eliminating those with high IQ''s, as intelligent individuals are likely to question orders that are illegal, wrong, immoral or unconstitutional. Law enforcement is purposely rejecting the very people our society needs most to fill these important positions at such a critical time in our republic''s history?\r\n\r\nAs if to spray gasoline on an already blazing fire, Legislators pass tons of laws each year, most of which are neither well thought out or needed. The legislative process does not ensure laws are <em>just, lawful or constitutiona</em>l.\r\n\r\nMost legislation isn''t written by the legislators we elect, but rather by <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style="color: #0000ff; text-decoration: underline;">professional lobbyists</span></span> <span style="color: #0000ff;">(Abramoff video)</span> in the employ of large corporations. Legislators routinely vote for Bills they''ve never even seen, let alone read.\r\n\r\nSuch <em><strong>Legislative abuse places an enormous burden upon LEOs </strong></em>who take a solemn oath to enforce the laws and defend the Constitution. How can LEOs defend that which millions of Americans have sacrificed, fought and died to preserve if we don''t give them clear, lawful directions?\r\n\r\nTo make matters worse, Washington DC now showers state and local law enforcement with virtually unlimited taxpayer funded <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style="color: #0000ff; text-decoration: underline;">grants</span></span> <span style="color: #0000ff;">http://www.heritage.org/research/reports/2007/03/federal-law-enforcement-grants-and-crime-rates-no-connection-except-for-waste-and-abuse </span>to acquire gnarly war wagons, military style combat gear, sophisticated surveillance technology, ALRs (automatic license plate readers) and the latest in crowd control. It’s becoming increasingly difficult to tell the difference between Law Enforcement and Soldiers going off to war. <em><strong>This poses a systemic threat to our nation, our freedoms and liberty.</strong></em>\r\n\r\nDepartments are equipping vehicles with Dash Cams and officers with Body Cams in a ''stated effort'' to reign in rogue behavior, supposedly introducing transparency and accountability. This sounds great until one realizes that Officers are able to selectively turn cameras <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style="color: #0000ff; text-decoration: underline;"><strong><em>on and off</em></strong> </span></span> <span style="color: #0000ff;">http://youtu.be/4J4VR4gFlwU</span> to suit their needs, and despite claims to the contrary, can and do <strong><em>edit footage</em></strong> to make sure videos fit the narrative they want told.\r\n\r\nWe’ve attended community programs sponsored by Local Law Enforcement, and quite frankly, came away very disappointed. There appears to be little understanding and even less interest regarding the role today’s policing is expected to play if we are to successfully battle crime while remaining a free people in an open society.\r\n\r\nOfficers appear more interested in controlling and manipulating dialogue and public perceptions rather than doing the hard work needed to address real criminal activity.\r\n\r\nLocal Law Enforcement agencies are among those feeding at the <em><strong>Federal</strong></em> taxpayer trough to acquire the latest gadgets, gear and surveillance equipment. In exchange they agree to share information (through <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style="color: #0000ff; text-decoration: underline;">fusion centers</span></span> <span style="color: #0000ff;">http://www.thenewamerican.com/usnews/item/16942-dhs-creates-new-fusion-centers-taking-control-of-local-police<span style="color: #000000;">)</span> </span>with Federal agencies that could not otherwise legally possess such information.\r\n\r\nThis seemingly innocent exchange <strong>is<em> extremely short sighted </em></strong><em><strong>and potentially very dangerous. </strong></em>By the time Americans discover the all too real dangers, it could be too late. <em><strong>Once a nationwide Police State is firmly established, there won''t be any going back.\r\n</strong></em>\r\n\r\nThose who know their history understand that what''s going on today is an <em><strong>exact replay of what happened in Hitler''s Nazi Germany</strong></em>, only with today''s much more advanced technology.\r\n\r\nA large and growing number of Law Enforcement officials are themselves extremely concerned and have formed the <a href="http://cspoa.org/" target="_blank"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style="color: #0000ff;"><strong>CSPOA.org</strong></span></span></a> (Constitutional Sheriffs and Peace Officers Association) in an effort to protect our nation. Local law enforcement officials are not members of this group.\r\n\r\n<strong><em>Local Law Enforcement exists to serve and protect u</em>s</strong>, not roll out the red carpet for Washington''s <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style="color: #0000ff; text-decoration: underline;">schemers, scammers, kleptocrats and psychopaths </span></span><span style="color: #0000ff;">(Abramoff video)</span>.\r\n\r\n<em><b>"Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety". </b></em>Benjamin Franklin<b>\r\n</b>\r\n\r\nNumerous attempts were made to engage Laurinburg Police Chief Darwin Williams and Scotland County Sheriff Ralph Kersey regarding the issues raised in this article.

They are erected and maintained by a local communications company that leases space to local Law Enforcement which uses Federal grant money to pay the bill.\r\n\r\nStill don''t get it? <span style="color: #0000ff;"><strong><a style="color: #0000ff;" href="http://www.activistpost.com/2016/03/new-rules-create-spying-partnership-between-local-police-nsa.html" target="_blank">Every</a></strong></span> cell and digital communication you participate in is tracked, captured, recorded, saved, stored and analyzed by local and state law enforcement using software driven by algos and AI. This information is shared with the FBI, CIA, NSA, DEA, ATF, DHS and the plethora of other Federal agencies through <strong>Fusion Centers</strong>.\r\n\r\nThe fact that this is <strong>NOT</strong> lawful isn''t stopping local Police and County Sheriffs from tracking your every move, conversation, text message and keystroke as part of a nationwide effort to ensure Americans remain compliant and ''under control'' while the New World Order works its magic to enslave mankind. The ''deep state'' uses this information when necessary to blackmail politicians so they''ll keep silent and go along with the charade of democracy.\r\n\r\nIn addition, new utility and street lighting poles are equipped with extremely sensitive microphones that pick up <strong>all </strong>nearby conversations.\r\n\r\nWorse yet, Federal Grants now fund <strong>Drone</strong> purchases by local and state law enforcement which allow your every move to be viewed and recorded in real time without you being aware. Drones hover high enough overhead that you can''t see or hear them. Without any Warrant, <strong>Law Enforcement can, in Ultra High Definition, watch your teenage daughter sunbathe in the backyard</strong>.\r\n\r\nIs it any wonder Americans are becoming increasingly concerned about our growing Police State?\r\n\r\nAmerica''s real struggle isn''t Black, White, Hispanic, Christian, Islam or even Terrorism, it''s about the 99% being enslaved by the 1%.\r\n\r\nThe world we and our children will live in tomorrow is being decided by the choices we make today.\r\n<blockquote>"<em>The feds sell the technology in the name of “anti-terrorism” efforts.

Government officials tried to allay public concern by explaining these were ''condensation vapor trails'' (contrails) caused by normal jet engine exhausts at high altitude.\n\nWhile this may have fooled the Sheeple, those more astute noted that, unlike contrails which quickly dissipate, these trails lingered, often for hours.\n\nWord eventually began <span style="color: #0000ff;"><a style="color: #0000ff;" href="https://youtu.be/rAxXyMAmBMs" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">leaking out</span></a></span> that chemicals were being sprayed by large, unmarked aircraft, and that this was occurring with regularity across the entire nation as part of a secret military black ops program.\n\nWhen confronted, government spokespeople next tried to explain that the spraying was part of a harmless weather modification program that has been going on since the 1940s, but mounting evidence released by whistleblowers shows these chemicals are anything but harmless,; rather, a highly toxic mix of heavy-metal nano-particles and extremely dangerous radioactive isotopes.\n\nJust what is going on, and why are virtually all Americans and American soil being bombarded with this extremely toxic brew? We met with 8th District U.S. Congressman Richard Hudson''s ''Constituent Relations Manager'', Chris Maples, and asked him about Chemtrails. He told us: ''The Congressman isn''t concerned'' and then bolted.

The effects won''t be immediately apparent, and many currently feeding at the taxpayer''s trough will surely have their feathers ruffled, but we either implement positive, rational, logical and necessary change in an orderly, planned manner while we still have options, or risk waiting until financial crisis overtakes us, guaranteeing extreme pain and an unpredictable outcome.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<strong>Here''s what we don''t need:</strong>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>More taxpayer funded grants, commissions, boards, blue ribbon panels, study groups, pedigreed intellectuals, bureaucrats, seminars or retreats.</li>\r\n 	<li>More highly compensated Economic Development gurus trying to bring back the ''good ole days'' by taking money from one taxpayer''s pocket and putting it in another, calling it ''job creation''.</li>\r\n 	<li>More nonsense like our ''Certified Retirement Community'' program.</li>\r\n 	<li>More commercial properties bulldozed to make way for additional taxpayer funded ''sculpture'' parks.</li>\r\n 	<li>More multi-million dollar boondoggles like Laurinburg City Council''s new ''Colonial Williamsburg'' City Hall/Police Department.</li>\r\n 	<li>More arrests of potheads (following ''months long'' intensive, expensive investigations) so we can build and fill yet more prisons, jails and lockups.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<strong>Rebuilding prosperity will be challenging, but it''s fully achievable if we want it bad enough. </strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Carolina Crossroads News</strong> understands the mission, knows what it takes to reach the goal and is willing to carry its share of the water.

Government officials tried to allay public concern by explaining these were ''condensation vapor trails'' (contrails) caused by normal jet engine exhausts at high altitude.\r\n\r\nWhile this may have fooled the Sheeple, those more astute noted that, unlike contrails which quickly dissipate, these trails lingered, often for hours.\r\n\r\nWord eventually began <span style="color: #0000ff;"><a style="color: #0000ff;" href="https://youtu.be/rAxXyMAmBMs" target="_blank"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">leaking out</span></a></span> that chemicals were being sprayed by large, unmarked aircraft, and that this was occurring with regularity across the entire nation as part of a secret military black ops program.\r\n\r\nWhen confronted, government spokespeople next tried to explain that the spraying was part of a harmless weather modification program that has been going on since the 1940s, but mounting evidence released by whistleblowers shows these chemicals are anything but harmless,; rather, a highly toxic mix of heavy-metal nano-particles and extremely dangerous radioactive isotopes.\r\n\r\nJust what is going on, and why are virtually all Americans and American soil being bombarded with this extremely toxic brew? We met with 8th District U.S. Congressman Richard Hudson''s ''Constituent Relations Manager'', Chris Maples, and asked him about the Chemtrails. He told us: ''The Congressman isn''t concerned'' and then bolted.

Do you also know that when an innocent looking van pulls up next to you at a traffic light, it could be the police using ''Backscatter X-Ray'' to look at everything inside you vehicle? Not only is this an unwarranted invasion of your privacy, it exposes everyone in the vehicle to harmful, cancer causing x-rays.\r\n\r\nSure, LEOs routinely <span style="color: #0000ff;"><a style="color: #0000ff;" href="https://youtu.be/kfzwjd8EWdo" target="_blank">stop citizens</a> </span>going about their normal business, in a ''supposed'' effort to prevent crime.\r\n\r\n<img class="size-medium wp-image-1601 alignleft" src="http://carolinacrossroads.news/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/police-shaking-person-upside-down-300x168.png" alt="police-shaking-person-upside-down" width="300" height="168" />FBI statistics disclose that in 2014 alone $4.5 billion was <span style="color: #0000ff;"><a style="color: #0000ff;" href="http://davidstockmanscontracorner.com/when-the-state-is-not- your-friend-police-asset-seizures-in-2014-exceeded-all-burglaries/" target="_blank">stolen</a></span> from the American people.\r\n\r\nHomes, cars, business assets and cash are being routinely <span style="color: #0000ff;"><a style="color: #0000ff;" href="http://www.naturalnews.com/041828_cops_innocent_civilians_civil_forfeit ure.html" target="_blank">seized</a></span>, without any charges filed or even the pretense of illegality or wrongdoing.\r\n\r\nIn contrast, the FBI states that only $3.5 billion was lost due to actual burglaries. <strong><em>That’s right; according to our own FBI, the vast majority of <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style="color: #0000ff; text-decoration: underline;">thefts</span></span></em></strong><span style="color: #0000ff;"><em> http://www.activistpost.com/2016/03/federal-asset-forfeiture-program-already-back-in-business.html</em></span><strong><em> are being committed not by burglars, but by Police</em>. </strong>Many Departments now build <em>''theft''</em> right into budgets so they can plan in advance how much to steal.<strong>\r\n</strong>\r\n\r\nIs it any wonder Americans increasingly view Police as dangerous predators? Should honest, God fearing citizens be forced to cower before those paid to serve and protect us?\r\n\r\nPolice recruits are trained to view the American people as ''the enemy''. Are LEOs increasingly becoming mafia style enforcers who make sure we don''t forget who’s really in charge?\r\n\r\nLEOs are often ex military, and while there can be valuable synergies between the two, there are important and fundamental differences as well.\r\n\r\nThose drawn to military and law enforcement careers often express a strong preference for <strong><em>order</em></strong> and <strong><em>control,</em></strong> versus <em><strong>individual freedom</strong></em> and <em><strong>liberty</strong></em>. This might work well in a military setting, but it can make things difficult when it comes to striking the <em><strong>right balance</strong></em> needed to ensure peace, security, freedom and liberty in an open society. LEOs must walk a fine line, theirs has never been an easy mission. In today''s politically charged atmosphere, it''s more challenging than ever.\r\n\r\nMany Departments screen potential recruits, eliminating those with high IQ''s, as intelligent individuals are likely to question orders that are illegal, wrong, immoral or unconstitutional. Law enforcement is purposely rejecting the very people our society needs most to fill these important positions at such a critical time in our republic''s history?\r\n\r\nAs if to spray gasoline on an already blazing fire, Legislators pass tons of laws each year, most of which are neither well thought out or needed. The legislative process does not ensure laws are <em>just, lawful or constitutiona</em>l.\r\n\r\nMost legislation isn''t written by the legislators we elect, but rather by <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style="color: #0000ff; text-decoration: underline;">professional lobbyists</span></span> <span style="color: #0000ff;">(Abramoff video)</span> in the employ of large corporations. Legislators routinely vote for Bills they''ve never even seen, let alone read.\r\n\r\nSuch <em><strong>Legislative abuse places an enormous burden upon LEOs </strong></em>who take a solemn oath to enforce the laws and defend the Constitution. How can LEOs defend that which millions of Americans have sacrificed, fought and died to preserve if we don''t give them clear, lawful directions?\r\n\r\nTo make matters worse, Washington DC now showers state and local law enforcement with virtually unlimited taxpayer funded <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style="color: #0000ff; text-decoration: underline;">grants</span></span> <span style="color: #0000ff;">http://www.heritage.org/research/reports/2007/03/federal-law-enforcement-grants-and-crime-rates-no-connection-except-for-waste-and-abuse </span>to acquire gnarly war wagons, military style combat gear, sophisticated surveillance technology, ALRs (automatic license plate readers) and the latest in crowd control. It’s becoming increasingly difficult to tell the difference between Law Enforcement and Soldiers going off to war. <em><strong>This poses a systemic threat to our nation, our freedoms and liberty.</strong></em>\r\n\r\nDepartments are equipping vehicles with Dash Cams and officers with Body Cams in a ''stated effort'' to reign in rogue behavior, supposedly introducing transparency and accountability. This sounds great until one realizes that Officers are able to selectively turn cameras <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style="color: #0000ff; text-decoration: underline;"><strong><em>on and off</em></strong> </span></span> <span style="color: #0000ff;">http://youtu.be/4J4VR4gFlwU</span> to suit their needs, and despite claims to the contrary, can and do <strong><em>edit footage</em></strong> to make sure videos fit the narrative they want told.\r\n\r\nWe’ve attended community programs sponsored by Local Law Enforcement, and quite frankly, came away very disappointed. There appears to be little understanding and even less interest regarding the role today’s policing is expected to play if we are to successfully battle crime while remaining a free people in an open society.\r\n\r\nOfficers appear more interested in controlling and manipulating dialogue and public perceptions rather than doing the hard work needed to address real criminal activity.\r\n\r\nLocal Law Enforcement agencies are among those feeding at the <em><strong>Federal</strong></em> taxpayer trough to acquire the latest gadgets, gear and surveillance equipment. In exchange they agree to share information (through <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style="color: #0000ff; text-decoration: underline;">fusion centers</span></span> <span style="color: #0000ff;">http://www.thenewamerican.com/usnews/item/16942-dhs-creates-new-fusion-centers-taking-control-of-local-police<span style="color: #000000;">)</span> </span>with Federal agencies that could not otherwise legally possess such information.\r\n\r\nThis seemingly innocent exchange <strong>is<em> extremely short sighted </em></strong><em><strong>and potentially very dangerous. </strong></em>By the time Americans discover the all too real dangers, it could be too late. <em><strong>Once a nationwide Police State is firmly established, there won''t be any going back.\r\n</strong></em>\r\n\r\nThose who know their history understand that what''s going on today is an <em><strong>exact replay of what happened in Hitler''s Nazi Germany</strong></em>, only with today''s much more advanced technology.\r\n\r\nA large and growing number of Law Enforcement officials are themselves extremely concerned and have formed the <a href="http://cspoa.org/" target="_blank"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style="color: #0000ff;"><strong>CSPOA.org</strong></span></span></a> (Constitutional Sheriffs and Peace Officers Association) in an effort to protect our nation.

Law enforcement is purposely rejecting the very people our society needs most to fill these important positions at such a critical time in our republic''s history?\r\n\r\nAs if to spray gasoline on an already blazing fire, Legislators pass tons of laws each year, most of which are neither well thought out or needed. The legislative process does not ensure laws are <em>just, lawful or constitutiona</em>l.\r\n\r\nMost legislation isn''t written by the legislators we elect, but rather by <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style="color: #0000ff; text-decoration: underline;">professional lobbyists</span></span> <span style="color: #0000ff;">(Abramoff video)</span> in the employ of large corporations. Legislators routinely vote for Bills they''ve never even seen, let alone read.\r\n\r\nSuch <em><strong>Legislative abuse places an enormous burden upon LEOs </strong></em>who take a solemn oath to enforce the laws and defend the Constitution. How can LEOs defend that which millions of Americans have sacrificed, fought and died to preserve if we don''t give them clear, lawful directions?\r\n\r\nTo make matters worse, Washington DC now showers state and local law enforcement with virtually unlimited taxpayer funded <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style="color: #0000ff; text-decoration: underline;">grants</span></span> <span style="color: #0000ff;">http://www.heritage.org/research/reports/2007/03/federal-law-enforcement-grants-and-crime-rates-no-connection-except-for-waste-and-abuse </span>to acquire gnarly war wagons, military style combat gear, sophisticated surveillance technology, ALRs (automatic license plate readers) and the latest in crowd control. It’s becoming increasingly difficult to tell the difference between Law Enforcement and Soldiers going off to war. <em><strong>This poses a systemic threat to our nation, our freedoms and liberty.</strong></em>\r\n\r\nDepartments are equipping vehicles with Dash Cams and officers with Body Cams in a ''stated effort'' to reign in rogue behavior, supposedly introducing transparency and accountability. This sounds great until one realizes that Officers are able to selectively turn cameras <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style="color: #0000ff; text-decoration: underline;"><strong><em>on and off</em></strong> </span></span> <span style="color: #0000ff;">http://youtu.be/4J4VR4gFlwU</span> to suit their needs, and despite claims to the contrary, can and do <strong><em>edit footage</em></strong> to make sure videos fit the narrative they want told.\r\n\r\nWe’ve attended community programs sponsored by Local Law Enforcement, and quite frankly, came away very disappointed. There appears to be little understanding and even less interest regarding the role today’s policing is expected to play if we are to successfully battle crime while remaining a free people in an open society.\r\n\r\nOfficers appear more interested in controlling and manipulating dialogue and public perceptions rather than doing the hard work needed to address real criminal activity.\r\n\r\nLocal Law Enforcement agencies are among those feeding at the <em><strong>Federal</strong></em> taxpayer trough to acquire the latest gadgets, gear and surveillance equipment. In exchange they agree to share information (through <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style="color: #0000ff; text-decoration: underline;">fusion centers</span></span> <span style="color: #0000ff;">http://www.thenewamerican.com/usnews/item/16942-dhs-creates-new-fusion-centers-taking-control-of-local-police<span style="color: #000000;">)</span> </span>with Federal agencies that could not otherwise legally possess such information.\r\n\r\nThis seemingly innocent exchange <strong>is<em> extremely short sighted </em></strong><em><strong>and potentially very dangerous. </strong></em>By the time Americans discover the all too real dangers, it could be too late. <em><strong>Once a nationwide Police State is firmly established, there won''t be any going back.\r\n</strong></em>\r\n\r\nThose who know their history understand that what''s going on today is an <em><strong>exact replay of what happened in Hitler''s Nazi Germany</strong></em>, only with today''s much more advanced technology.\r\n\r\nA large and growing number of Law Enforcement officials are themselves extremely concerned and have formed the <a href="http://cspoa.org/" target="_blank"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style="color: #0000ff;"><strong>CSPOA.org</strong></span></span></a> (Constitutional Sheriffs and Peace Officers Association) in an effort to protect our nation.

Should honest, God fearing citizens be forced to cower before those paid to serve and protect us?\r\n\r\nPolice recruits are trained to view the American people as ''the enemy''. Are LEOs increasingly becoming mafia style enforcers who make sure we don''t forget who’s really in charge?\r\n\r\nLEOs are often ex military, and while there can be valuable synergies between the two, there are important and fundamental differences as well.\r\n\r\nThose drawn to military and law enforcement careers often express a strong preference for <strong><em>order</em></strong> and <strong><em>control,</em></strong> versus <em><strong>individual freedom</strong></em> and <em><strong>liberty</strong></em>. This might work well in a military setting, but it can make things difficult when it comes to striking the <em><strong>right balance</strong></em> needed to ensure peace, security, freedom and liberty in an open society. LEOs must walk a fine line, theirs has never been an easy mission. In today''s politically charged atmosphere, it''s more challenging than ever.\r\n\r\nMany Departments screen potential recruits, eliminating those with high IQ''s, as intelligent individuals are likely to question orders that are illegal, wrong, immoral or unconstitutional. Law enforcement is purposely rejecting the very people our society needs most to fill these important positions at such a critical time in our republic''s history?\r\n\r\nAs if to spray gasoline on an already blazing fire, Legislators pass tons of laws each year, most of which are neither well thought out or needed.

How can LEOs defend that which millions of Americans have sacrificed, fought and died to preserve if we don''t give them clear, lawful directions?\r\n\r\nTo make matters worse, Washington DC now showers state and local law enforcement with virtually unlimited taxpayer funded <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style="color: #0000ff; text-decoration: underline;">grants</span></span> <span style="color: #0000ff;">http://www.heritage.org/research/reports/2007/03/federal-law-enforcement-grants-and-crime-rates-no-connection-except-for-waste-and-abuse </span>to acquire gnarly war wagons, military style combat gear, sophisticated surveillance technology, ALRs (automatic license plate readers) and the latest in crowd control. It’s becoming increasingly difficult to tell the difference between Law Enforcement and Soldiers going off to war. <em><strong>This poses a systemic threat to our nation, our freedoms and liberty.</strong></em>\r\n\r\nDepartments are equipping vehicles with Dash Cams and officers with Body Cams in a ''stated effort'' to reign in rogue behavior, supposedly introducing transparency and accountability.

There appears to be little understanding and even less interest regarding the role today’s policing is expected to play if we are to successfully battle crime while remaining a free people in an open society.\r\n\r\nOfficers appear more interested in controlling and manipulating dialogue and public perceptions rather than doing the hard work needed to address real criminal activity.\r\n\r\nLocal Law Enforcement agencies are among those feeding at the <em><strong>Federal</strong></em> taxpayer trough to acquire the latest gadgets, gear and surveillance equipment. In exchange they agree to share information (through <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style="color: #0000ff; text-decoration: underline;">fusion centers</span></span> <span style="color: #0000ff;">http://www.thenewamerican.com/usnews/item/16942-dhs-creates-new-fusion-centers-taking-control-of-local-police<span style="color: #000000;">)</span> </span>with Federal agencies that could not otherwise legally possess such information.\r\n\r\nThis seemingly innocent exchange <strong>is<em> extremely short sighted </em></strong><em><strong>and potentially very dangerous. </strong></em>By the time Americans discover the all too real dangers, it could be too late. <em><strong>Once a nationwide Police State is firmly established, there won''t be any going back.\r\n</strong></em>\r\n\r\nThose who know their history understand that what''s going on today is an <em><strong>exact replay of what happened in Hitler''s Nazi Germany</strong></em>, only with today''s much more advanced technology.\r\n\r\nA large and growing number of Law Enforcement officials are themselves extremely concerned and have formed the <a href="http://cspoa.org/" target="_blank"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style="color: #0000ff;"><strong>CSPOA.org</strong></span></span></a> (Constitutional Sheriffs and Peace Officers Association) in an effort to protect our nation. Local law enforcement officials are not members of this group.\r\n\r\n<strong><em>Local Law Enforcement exists to serve and protect u</em>s</strong>, not roll out the red carpet for Washington''s <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style="color: #0000ff; text-decoration: underline;">schemers, scammers, kleptocrats and psychopaths </span></span><span style="color: #0000ff;">(Abramoff video)</span>.\r\n\r\n<em><b>"Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety". </b></em>Benjamin Franklin<b>\r\n</b>\r\n\r\nNumerous attempts were made to engage Laurinburg Police Chief Darwin Williams and Scotland County Sheriff Ralph Kersey regarding the issues raised in this article. No response was received.\r\n\r\n<address>Sources:</address><address><a title="123" href="http://davidstockmanscontracorner.com/when-the-state-is-not- your-friend-police-asset-seizures-in-2014-exceeded-all-burglaries/" target="_blank">David Stockman''s Contra Corner</a></address><address>Natural News</address>&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<address>Related Articles:</address><address><a title="123" href="http://carolinacrossroads.news/privacy-surveillance-spying-video/" target="_blank">Privacy, Surveillance, Spying (VIDEO)</a></address><address><a title="123" href="http://carolinacrossroads.news/mayor-police-chief-poised-to-shift-gears/" target="_blank">Mayor &amp; Police Chief Poised to Shift Gears</a></address><address><a title="123" href="http://carolinacrossroads.news/we-support-our-police-part-1/" target="_blank">We Support Our Police</a></address><address> </address>[polldaddy rating="8361352"]\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style="text-align: center;"><em><strong><span style="font-size: 16px; color: #de030b;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva,sans- serif;">We''d love to hear your questions or comments below.
