While this may appear harmless on the surface, <strong>it\'s<em> extremely short </em></strong><em><strong>and potentially very dangerous. </strong></em>By the time we discover the  all to real dangers, it could be too late. <em><strong>\r\n</strong></em>\r\n\r\nLocal law enforcement exists to serve and protect us, not roll out the red carpet for Washington DC schemers, scammers, kleptocrats, plutocrats and psychopaths.\r\n\r\nNumerous attempts were made to contact both Laurinburg Police Chief Darwin Williams and Scotland County Sheriff Ralph Kersey regarding these issues. No response was received.\r\n\r\n<address>Related Articles:</address><address><a title=\"123\" href=\"http://restlessboomers.com/will-you-have-enough-to-survive- &lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;p&gt;retirement/\" target=\"_blank\">123</a></address><address><a title=\"123\" href=\"http://restlessboomers.com/baby-boomers- reinvent-to-&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;p&gt;retire/\">123</a></address><address><a title=\"123\" href=\"http://restlessboomers.com/will-you-work-until-you- drop/\">123</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.

Ward who presently serves as Vice President of First Bank\'s Laurinburg Branch, is an area native and graduate of UMC.\r\n\r\nWith a strong background in Finance and depth of local experience, Ward can be expected to demonstrate results that have to date eluded previous directors, helping our severely depressed economy to recover.

Every other city, county, state and nation are essentially trying to do the same. Unfortunately for us, others are in a better position to effectively compete in not just today\'s competitive and challenging environment, but the even more challenging one that\'s on the way.\r\n\r\nThis is a moving target, and if we\'re going to have a shot at the prize, we\'re going to have to learn to compete.

They work for us. They are paid with our tax dollars.\r\n\r\n<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>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">(Pic of sign at Jerry\'s Deli)</span> Does local law enforcement now feel it needs a cheer leading squad to post signs of support?\r\n\r\nYes, the Internet is brimming with videos showing Law Enforcement Officers (LEOs) harassing, abusing, pepper spraying, tasing, beating, robbing, arresting, shooting and killing innocent citizens.\r\n\r\nSure, LEOs are use powerful, often unlawful means like <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">\'Stingrays\'</span> to collect private information and data on <strong>each and every citizen, </strong>regardless of whether we are suspected of criminal activity.\r\n\r\nOf course, LEOs routinely <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">stop citizens (grandma says No at DUI checkpoint)</span> going about their business, in a supposed effort to clamp down on crime.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">(Pic of Cop shaking person upside down)</span> FBI statistics disclose that in 2014 alone $4.5 billion was <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">stolen</span> from the American people. Homes, cars, business assets and cash are being routinely <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">seized</span>, often without any charges filed or even the pretense of illegality or wrongdoing. In contrast, the FBI states that only $3.5 billion was lost due to actual burglaries. <strong>That’s right; according to our own FBI, the vast majority of thefts are being committed not by burglars, but by Police. </strong>It\'s become so blatant that many Departments build it right into their budgets. Yes, they know in advance just how much they plan on stealing next year.<strong>\r\n</strong>\r\n\r\nIs it any wonder Americans increasing 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 increasingly trained to view the American people as The Enemy. All too many are becoming mafia style enforcers, making sure we don\'t forget who’s really in charge?\r\n\r\nLEOs are often ex military, and while there are 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> over the seeming anarchy that individual freedom and self expression can engender. This preference works well in a military setting, but can make it difficult when trying to achieve the <em>right balance</em> required to maintain a <strong><em>free</em> and <em>open</em></strong> society. LEOs must walk a fine line. Theirs has never been an easy mission.\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, needed or desirable. The legislative process does not ensure laws are <em>just, lawful or constitutiona</em>l.\r\n\r\nMost legislation isn\'t even written by the legislators we elect, but rather by professional lobbyists in the employ of wealthy families and large corporations. Many legislators routinely vote for Bills they\'ve never seen, let alone read.\r\n\r\n<strong>Legislative abuse places an enormous burden upon LEOs </strong>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 and lawful directions?\r\n\r\nTo make matters worse, Washington DC now showers state and local law enforcement with virtually unlimited taxpayer funds to acquire gnarly war wagons, military style combat gear, sophisticated surveillance technology and the latest crowd control tools. It’s becoming increasingly difficult to tell the difference between Law Enforcement and Soldiers going off to war. This poses a systemic threat to our nation\r\n\r\nDepartments are equipping vehicles with Dash Cams and LEOs with Body Cams in a stated effort to reign in rogue behavior, supposedly introducing transparency and accountability. This sounds great, until you realize that Officers are able to selectively turn cameras <strong><em>on and off</em></strong> 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 our County Sheriff’s Department, and quite frankly, came away disappointed. There\'s little understanding and even less interest regarding the role today’s County Sheriff is expected to play if we are to successfully battle crime, while remaining a free people in an open society. Deputies appear more interested in manipulating public opinion than doing the hard work necessary to address long festering issues.\r\n\r\nLocal Law Enforcement is taking hard earned federal taxpayer dollars to buy the latest gadgets, gear and surveillance equipment. In exchange they agree to share information obtained with Federal agencies that could <strong>not legally</strong> acquire such information themselves. While this may appear harmless on the surface, <strong>it\'s<em> extremely short </em></strong><em><strong>and potentially very dangerous. </strong></em>By the time we discover the  all to real dangers, it could be too late. <em><strong>\r\n</strong></em>\r\n\r\nLocal law enforcement exists to serve and protect us, not roll out the red carpet for Washington DC schemers, scammers, kleptocrats, plutocrats and psychopaths.\r\n\r\nNumerous attempts were made to contact both Laurinburg Police Chief Darwin Williams and Scotland County Sheriff Ralph Kersey regarding these issues. No response was received.\r\n\r\n<address>Related Articles:</address><address><a title=\"123\" href=\"http://restlessboomers.com/will-you-have-enough-to-survive- &lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;p&gt;retirement/\" target=\"_blank\">123</a></address><address><a title=\"123\" href=\"http://restlessboomers.com/baby-boomers- reinvent-to-&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;p&gt;retire/\">123</a></address><address><a title=\"123\" href=\"http://restlessboomers.com/will-you-work-until-you- drop/\">123</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.

Ward presently serves as Vice President of First Bank\'s Laurinburg Branch. He\'s an area native and UNC graduate.\r\n\r\nWith a strong background in Finance and depth of local experience, Ward can be expected to demonstrate results that have eluded others.\r\n\r\nTurning our severely depressed economy around isn\'t going to be fast or easy, nor will it be like the old days, which as difficult as they were,  pretty much involved attracting new business and industry using taxpayer funds to essentially \'buy\' jobs.\r\n\r\nEmployers and jobs haven\'t just fled Scotland County, they\'ve fled America and we\'re competing on a global scale. Given Scotland County\'s extremely negative education, health and job skill  demographics, it\'s going to be an uphill battle every step of the way. Our high and growing crime rate and burdensome level of taxation won\'t make the job any easier.\r\n\r\nEvery other city, county, state and nation is trying to attract business, industry and jobs too. The competition is fierce, and to make matters worse, the global economy is struggling. The pie is shrinking at the same time there are a growing number of mouths to feed.\r\n\r\nAdd to this already formidable challenge the fact that today\'s economy is a fast moving target. Technology is advancing almost at the speed of light, sweeping existing paradigms into the ditch. This trend will not only continue, it will escalate. It\'s no time to be standing around with both hands in your pockets. It\'s eat or be eaten.\r\n\r\nWe\'ve got a lot of work ahead of us if we\'re to even have a shot at becoming players in tomorrow\'s world. It\'s a deep hole we\'ve dug and it\'s going to take some real shoveling to fill it in, lay a foundation and build upon it.\r\n\r\nWe wish Mark the very best and offer our genuine spirit of cooperation and support. In exchange, we expect to see a genuine effort.\r\n\r\nIt doesn\'t take any special skill to \'buy\' jobs using taxpayer money, just ask Charlotte-Mecklenburg. They\'ve learned the hard way that, given the right incentives, you can get them to come, you just can\'t make them stay, no matter what the \'contract\' says. When they\'re done feeding at one taxpayer trough, they quickly move on to the next.\r\n\r\nWe expect the jobs, when they come, to be real jobs, not taxpayer money changing hands from one pocket to the other. We also expect an open transparent directorship. Scotland County doesn\'t need any more highly paid parasites hiding behind the facade of government.\r\n\r\n<em><strong>It\'s time to get moving!</strong></em>\r\n\r\n<address>You reach Carolina Crossroads News at (888) 472-7555 or send us an <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"http://carolinacrossroads.news/contact-us/\" target=\"_blank\">email</a></span>.</address><address> </address><address>Related Articles:</address><address><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" title=\"123\" href=\"http://carolinacrossroads.news/open-honest-transparent-city-council-needed/\" target=\"_blank\">Open, Honest, Transparent City Council Needed</a></span></address><address><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" title=\"123\" href=\"http://carolinacrossroads.news/privacy-surveillance-spying-video/\" target=\"_blank\">Privacy, Surveillance, Spying (VIDEO)</a></span></address><address><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" title=\"123\" href=\"http://carolinacrossroads.news/mayor-police-chief-poised-to-shift-gears/\" target=\"_blank\">Mayor &amp; Police Chief Poised to Shift Gears</a></span></address><address> </address><address>Affiliate Disclosure: Some links on this page may be affiliate links which, if used to purchase products, would yield a small commission to CarolinaCrossroads.News.

No response was received.\r\n\r\n<address>Related Articles:</address><address><a title=\"123\" href=\"http://restlessboomers.com/will-you-have-enough-to-survive- &lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;p&gt;retirement/\" target=\"_blank\">123</a></address><address><a title=\"123\" href=\"http://restlessboomers.com/baby-boomers- reinvent-to-&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;p&gt;retire/\">123</a></address><address><a title=\"123\" href=\"http://restlessboomers.com/will-you-work-until-you- drop/\">123</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.

In exchange, we expect to see not only a real effort, but real results.\r\n\r\nIt doesn\'t take any special skill or talent to \'buy\' jobs using taxpayer money, just ask Charlotte-Mecklenburg. They\'ve learned the hard way that, given the right incentives, you can get them to come, you just can\'t make them stay, no matter what the \'contract\' says. When corporations are done feeding at one taxpayer trough, they quickly move on to the next. Economic development entities that play this game are engaged in a <strong>race to the bottom</strong> and nothing more. Past Scotland County ED directors have tried this and failed.\r\n\r\nWe expect the jobs, when they come, to be real jobs, not taxpayer money changing hands from one pocket to the other. We\'ve got enough shell games going already. We also expect an open, transparent directorship. Scotland County doesn\'t need any more highly paid parasites working behind closed doors, hiding from those who pay the bills.\r\n\r\n<em><strong>It\'s time to get moving!</strong></em>\r\n\r\n<address>You reach Carolina Crossroads News at (888) 472-7555 or send us an <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"http://carolinacrossroads.news/contact-us/\" target=\"_blank\">email</a></span>.</address><address> </address><address>Related Articles:</address><address><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" title=\"123\" href=\"http://carolinacrossroads.news/open-honest-transparent-city-council-needed/\" target=\"_blank\">Open, Honest, Transparent City Council Needed</a></span></address><address><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" title=\"123\" href=\"http://carolinacrossroads.news/privacy-surveillance-spying-video/\" target=\"_blank\">Privacy, Surveillance, Spying (VIDEO)</a></span></address><address><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" title=\"123\" href=\"http://carolinacrossroads.news/mayor-police-chief-poised-to-shift-gears/\" target=\"_blank\">Mayor &amp; Police Chief Poised to Shift Gears</a></span></address><address> </address><address>Affiliate Disclosure: Some links on this page may be affiliate links which, if used to purchase products, would yield a small commission to CarolinaCrossroads.News.

Scotland County\'s 2nd to last placing in the State\'s latest Health rankings is but one more sign that we\'re headed in the wrong direction and change is needed.\r\n\r\nAre more government funded consumer education programs the answer? Should government pass more rules? Do we need additional government regulation?\r\n\r\nThe fact is Good Health largely depends upon decisions we as individuals make each day. Healthy lifestyle choices are only a few keystrokes away, as the Internet is filled with great information, articles and tips on how to live healthier, longer and for less money.\r\n\r\nBetween the time the captain (of an ocean going oil tanker) orders the helmsman to change course and the desired change is achieved, the ship will have traveled at least six miles. If calamity is to be avoided, the captain must think ahead, have a plan and implement it.\r\n\r\nIt\'s no different for us. We must first desire to become healthy, then we must develop a realistic plan and implement it. Lastly, we must give it time to succeed.\r\n\r\nObesity is the number two cause (behind smoking) of many of life\'s most debilitating and catastrophic ailments. Fortunately, our weight is almost 100% dependent upon the number of calories we take in each day, versus the number of calories we expend. If we take in more than we expend, we will gain weight, if the same, we will maintain our weight, if less, we will lose weight.\r\n\r\nIf we are slightly overweight our plan may take just a couple of months to reach its goal, but if we are obese or morbidly obese, it could take a year or more.\r\n\r\nDiets, especially fad diets, are rarely successful. Lost pounds tend to come right back, often with a vengeance. A healthy dietary plan will shed those extra pounds and keep them off. Slow and steady gets the job done.\r\n\r\nOnly 21% of shoppers read <strong>ingredient labels</strong> before purchasing grocery items. Sugars, including high fructose sweeteners, are believed to be the single most important factor leading to obesity and diabetes, and are suspected of promoting the growth and spread of cancer.\r\n\r\nIt\'s not just about our sugar intake from outside sources either, many foods such as pastas turn into sugars during the digestive process.\r\n\r\nDiet sodas and other \'diet\' foods don\'t help either, as our body continues to crave the energy it needs until satisfied. Some evidence even suggests that ingredients commonly found in many \'diet\' products could be responsible for the explosion we\'re seeing in Pancreatic Cancer, which is largely fatal within months of diagnoses.\r\n\r\nVisit our <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Healthy Living</span> section to learn more and follow the latest trends and breakthroughs.

The State Legislature responded by passing the \'Public Facilities Privacy and Security Act\', which not only overturned the Charlotte ordinance, but protects the right of all North Carolinians to use a restroom without having their privacy invaded by a person of the opposite sex. That\'s right, North Carolina will not allow men to use the same restroom and locker facilities as your teenage (or younger) daughter.\r\n\r\nNew World Order (NWO) ruling elites reacted by launching an assault aimed at bullying state officials into capitulating and rescinding this legislation.\r\n\r\nPayPal, whose service purportedly is to provide a secure method of payment for goods and services purchased online, has as part of its its mission, allowing men into women’s and little girl\'s restrooms, and women into men’s restrooms.\r\n\r\nPayPal now threatens to cancel plans to open a \'Global Operations Center\' in Charlotte, stating that passage of the law is “discriminatory” against transgenders (people claiming to have a “mismatch” between their sexual identity and their biological sex). PayPal\'s move could cost the city and the state about 400 jobs.\r\n\r\nPrior to PayPal\'s full court press, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo barred all “non-essential state travel” to North Carolina and was joined in that decision by the mayors of Seattle and San Francisco. Additional support to \'punish\' North Carolina, and other states (like <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"http://www.thenewamerican.com/usnews/constitution/item/22920-mississippi-governor-signs-religious-liberty-bill\" target=\"_blank\">Mississippi</a></span>) implementing similar laws, comes from other bullies Google, Apple, American Airlines and even the NBA. More than 100 companies have banded together in protest of this law.\r\n\r\nPayPal\'s CEO, Dan Schulman, voices his ignorance of basic human rights in stating that becoming “an employer in North Carolina, where members of our teams will not have equal rights under the law, is simply untenable,\" further stating that the \"new law perpetuates discrimination and it violates the values and principles that are at the core of PayPal’s mission and culture.”\r\n\r\nWait a minute, Dan. According to the <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"http://williamsinstitute.law.ucla.edu/wp-content/uploads/Gates-How-Many-People-LGBT-Apr-2011.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">Williams Institute</a></span>, only 0.3 percent of the population identify as other than their birth gender. So, Dan, for the sake of less than 1% of the population, you are willing to grant grown men access to little girls\' restrooms and locker facilities across the nation when <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mtstlx96s8M\" target=\"_blank\">NWO pedophilia</a></span> is already rampant and growing throughout our country? Pedophiles already have access to our little boys and now you want them to have access to our girls too?\r\n\r\nPaul Stam, NC State Representative (R), defended the law: “The law did not change the policy on discrimination an appreciable extent between two weeks ago and today. What [transgendered people are] really complaining about is that we have not become like the 17 other states that have put in special rights for them,” Stam said. “We’re trying to protect the reasonable expectations of privacy of 99.9 percent of our citizens, who think when they’re going into a restroom or a changing room or a locker room, that they will be private.”\r\n\r\nBut this isn\'t really about the rights of transgenders, who should and do have the same rights as the rest of us. This is really part of a much bigger picture that\'s meant to keep us distracted and off balance while the really dirty work of completely reordering our society gets done behind the scenes. Those in power are doing everything possible to keep us entertained and distracted while they trash our freedom and liberty, constructing a police state that threatens to destroy our nation and enslave us.\r\n\r\nHere\'s a message for you Dan, and those of your ilk: We don\'t need your stinkin\' progressive New World Order agenda infecting our or any other state.\r\n\r\nTake your money to New York, San Francisco and Seattle. Build your Global Operations Center and utopian nightmare there.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #333333;\"><em><strong>Sources:</strong></em></span>\r\n<span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"http://williamsinstitute.law.ucla.edu/wp-content/uploads/Gates-How-Many-People-LGBT-Apr-2011.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">Williams Institute</a></span>\r\n<span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"> <a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"http://www.thenewamerican.com/culture/item/22923-paypal-latest-to-punish-north-carolina-for-restroom-privacy-law\" target=\"_blank\">The New American</a></span>\r\n\r\n<center></center>&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<address>You reach Carolina Crossroads News at (888) 472-7555 or send us an <a href=\"http://carolinacrossroads.news/contact-us/\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">email</span></a>.</address><address> </address><address>Related Articles:</address><address><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" title=\"123\" href=\"http://carolinacrossroads.news/facebook-seeks-trump-assassination/\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook Supports Trump Assassination</a></span></address><address><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" title=\"123\" href=\"http://carolinacrossroads.news/open-honest-transparent-city-council-needed/\" target=\"_blank\">Open, Honest, Transparent City Council Needed</a></span></address><address><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" title=\"123\" href=\"http://carolinacrossroads.news/who-is-spying-on-you/\" target=\"_blank\">Who’s Spying on You?</a></span></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.

They work for us. They are paid with our tax dollars.\r\n\r\n<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>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">(Pic of sign at Jerry\'s Deli)</span> Why does local law enforcement now feel it needs a cheer leading squad to post signs of support?\r\n\r\nYes, the Internet is brimming with videos showing Law Enforcement Officers (LEOs) harassing, abusing, pepper spraying, tasing, beating, robbing, arresting, shooting and killing innocent citizens.\r\n\r\nSure, LEOs use powerful, often unlawful means like <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">\'Stingrays\'</span> to collect private information and data on <strong>each and every citizen, </strong>regardless of whether they are suspected of criminal activity. Yes, they don\'t hesitate to lie under oath when caught.\r\n\r\nOf course, LEOs routinely <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">stop citizens (grandma says No at DUI checkpoint)</span> going about their business, in a supposed effort to prevent crime.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">(Pic of Cop shaking person upside down)</span> FBI statistics disclose that in 2014 alone $4.5 billion was <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">stolen</span> from the American people. Homes, cars, business assets and cash are being routinely <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">seized</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>That’s right; according to our own FBI, the vast majority of thefts are being committed not by burglars, but by Police. </strong>It\'s become so blatant that many Departments now build such theft right into their budgets so they can plan in advance how much to steal.<strong>\r\n</strong>\r\n\r\nIs it any wonder Americans increasing 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 increasingly trained to view the American people as The Enemy. Are police unwittingly becoming mafia style enforcers, making sure we don\'t forget who’s really in charge?\r\n\r\nLEOs are often ex military, and while there are 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> over the seeming anarchy that <strong>individual freedom</strong> and self expression can engender. This preference works well in a military setting, but make things difficult when trying to achieve the <em>right balance</em> necessary to ensure a <strong><em>free</em> and <em>open</em></strong> society. LEOs must walk a fine line. Theirs has never been an easy mission.\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, needed or desirable. The legislative process does not in any way ensure laws are <em>just, lawful or constitutiona</em>l.\r\n\r\nMost legislation isn\'t even written by the legislators we elect, but rather by professional lobbyists in the employ of large corporations. Many legislators routinely vote for Bills they\'ve never seen, let alone read. Such <strong>Legislative abuse places an enormous burden upon LEOs </strong>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 and lawful directions?\r\n\r\nTo make matters worse, Washington DC now showers state and local law enforcement with virtually unlimited taxpayer funded grants to acquire gnarly war wagons, military style combat gear, sophisticated surveillance technology and the latest in crowd control. It’s becoming increasingly difficult to tell the difference between Law Enforcement and Soldiers going off to war. <strong>This poses a systemic threat to our nation.</strong>\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 you realize that Officers are able to selectively turn cameras <strong><em>on and off</em></strong> 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 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. Officers appear more interested in manipulating public perceptions rather than doing the hard work needed to address crime.\r\n\r\nOur Local Law Enforcement is among those feeding at the federal taxpayer trough to acquire the latest gadgets, gear and surveillance equipment. In exchange they agree to share (through fusion centers) information with Federal agencies that these agencies could <strong>not legally</strong> acquire otherwise.\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. Once a nationwide Police State is firmly established, there won\'t be any going back.<em><strong>\r\n</strong></em>\r\n\r\nThose who know history understand this is an exact replay of what happened in Hitler\'s Germany, only with today\'s much advanced technology. <strong>A large and growing number of Law Enforcement officials are themselves extremely concerned</strong> and have formed the CSPOA (Constitutional Sheriffs and Peace Officers Association).\r\n\r\nLocal law enforcement exists to serve and protect us, not roll out the red carpet for Washington D.C. schemers, scammers, kleptocrats and psychopaths.\r\n\r\n<b>\"Those who would give up <a class=\"mw-redirect\" title=\"Essential\" href=\"https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Essential\">essential</a> <a title=\"Liberty\" href=\"https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Liberty\">Liberty</a>, to purchase a little temporary <a title=\"Safety\" href=\"https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Safety\">Safety</a>, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety\". </b>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 these issues.

Yes, they don\'t hesitate to lie under oath when caught.\r\n\r\nOf course, LEOs routinely <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">stop citizens (grandma says No at DUI checkpoint)</span> going about their business, in a supposed effort to prevent crime.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">(Pic of Cop shaking person upside down)</span> FBI statistics disclose that in 2014 alone $4.5 billion was <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">stolen</span> from the American people. Homes, cars, business assets and cash are being routinely <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">seized</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>That’s right; according to our own FBI, the vast majority of thefts are being committed not by burglars, but by Police. </strong>It\'s become so blatant that many Departments now build <strong>theft</strong> right into their budgets so they can plan in advance how much to steal.<strong>\r\n</strong>\r\n\r\nIs it any wonder Americans increasing 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 increasingly trained to view the American people as The Enemy. Are police unwittingly becoming mafia style enforcers, making sure we don\'t forget who’s really in charge?\r\n\r\nLEOs are often ex military, and while there are 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> over the seeming anarchy that <strong>individual freedom</strong> and self expression can engender. This works well in a military setting, but makes it difficult to achieve the <strong>right balance</strong> neeeded to ensure a <strong><em>free</em> and <em>open</em></strong> society. LEOs must walk a fine line. Theirs has never been an easy mission.\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, needed or desirable. The legislative process does not ensure laws are <em>just, lawful or constitutiona</em>l.\r\n\r\nMost legislation isn\'t even written by the legislators we elect, but rather by professional lobbyists in the employ of large corporations. Legislators routinely vote for Bills they\'ve never seen, let alone read. Such <strong>Legislative abuse places an enormous burden upon LEOs </strong>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 grants to acquire gnarly war wagons, military style combat gear, sophisticated surveillance technology and the latest in crowd control. It’s becoming increasingly difficult to tell the difference between Law Enforcement and Soldiers going off to war. <strong>This poses a systemic threat to our nation.</strong>\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 you realize that Officers are able to selectively turn cameras <strong><em>on and off</em></strong> 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 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. Officers appear more interested in manipulating public perceptions than doing the hard work needed to address crime.\r\n\r\nOur Local Law Enforcement is among those feeding at the <strong>Federal</strong> taxpayer trough to acquire the latest gadgets, gear and surveillance equipment. In exchange they agree to share (through fusion centers) information with Federal agencies that these agencies could <strong>not otherwise legally</strong> acquire.\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. Once a nationwide Police State is firmly established, there won\'t be any going back.<em><strong>\r\n</strong></em>\r\n\r\nThose who know history understand this is an exact replay of what happened in Hitler\'s Germany, only with today\'s much advanced technology. <strong>A large and growing number of Law Enforcement officials are themselves extremely concerned</strong> and have formed the CSPOA (Constitutional Sheriffs and Peace Officers Association) in an effort to protect our nation.\r\n\r\n<strong>Local law enforcement exists to serve and protect us</strong>, not roll out the red carpet for Washington D.C. schemers, scammers, kleptocrats and psychopaths.\r\n\r\n<b>\"Those who would give up <a class=\"mw-redirect\" title=\"Essential\" href=\"https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Essential\">essential</a> <a title=\"Liberty\" href=\"https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Liberty\">Liberty</a>, to purchase a little temporary <a title=\"Safety\" href=\"https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Safety\">Safety</a>, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety\". </b>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 these issues.

Doing so from a convenience store appears just plain stupid. Any perceived value will now flow directly into the pockets of bail-bondsmen, legal professionals and the prison-industrial complex.\n\nTwo suspects appear to be of Middle Eastern origin, which given the current climate, cannot be considered a plus when it comes to garnering sympathy.\n\nHow does this story fit into the <strong>Big Picture</strong>?\n\nAlbert Einstein defined insanity as: \'<em><strong>Doing the same thing over and over again, but expecting a different result\'.</strong></em> Change is difficult and disconcerting, but if Laurinburg and Scotland County are to get back on their feet, change is essential.\n\nWas selling marijuana (synthetic or otherwise) from a convenience store actually a \'cutting edge\' business proposition? Should suspects be given the \'small business entrepreneur\' of the year award? (just kidding)\n\nA growing list of states  now permit the legal cultivation, sale and consumption of marijuana. Even our federal government has decided to look the other way. An overwhelming majority of Americans favor this trend, and<span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"> <a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2016/03/24/top-medical-experts-say-we-should-decriminalize-all-drugs-and-maybe-go-even-further/\" target=\"_blank\">prominent professionals and prestigious organizations</a></span> increasingly call for not only the decriminalization of marijuana, but all drugs.\n\nHow can Laurinburg and Scotland County stop our population from declining further? One certain way would be to not put any more people than needed into the already overflowing prison system.\n\nCan we successfully attract potential retirees if we\'re busting potheads while allowing violent crime to spin out of control? Millennials, gen Xers and Baby Boomers all favor decriminalizing marijuana and many other drugs. How long can we afford to push against this wave?\n\nWhen it comes to fighting crime, Law Enforcement complains about its lack of resources. Does it make sense to commit scarce man-power, time and money to busting, prosecuting and jailing potheads? Can we allow Law Enforcement to squander precious, limited resources? Here\'s a <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"http://henrymakow.com/2016/03/politicians-up-to-their-ears-i.html\" target=\"_blank\">snapshot</a></span> of what our nation\'s \'War on Drugs\' is really about. It\'s not pretty.\n\nWith increasingly negative demographics (depressed economic activity, dismal health ranking, poor educational ranking, rising crime, increasing taxes and declining property values) this is an issue Laurinburg and Scotland County citizens will sooner or later be forced to confront.\n\nThere are no easy answers. Here\'s a professionally produced <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"https://youtu.be/wfxaJQVxSA4\" target=\"_blank\">video</a></span> documentary that may help.

Doing so from a convenience store appears just plain stupid. Any perceived value will now flow directly into the pockets of bail-bondsmen, legal professionals and the prison-industrial complex.\r\n\r\nTwo suspects appear to be of Middle Eastern origin, which given the current climate, cannot be considered a plus when it comes to garnering sympathy.\r\n\r\nHow does this story fit into the <strong>Big Picture</strong>?\r\n\r\nAlbert Einstein defined insanity as: \'<em><strong>Doing the same thing over and over again, but expecting a different result\'.</strong></em> Change is difficult and disconcerting, but if Laurinburg and Scotland County are to get back on their feet, change is essential.\r\n\r\nWas selling marijuana (synthetic or otherwise) from a convenience store actually a \'cutting edge\' business proposition? Should suspects be given the \'small business entrepreneur\' of the year award? (just kidding)\r\n\r\nA growing list of states  now permit the legal cultivation, sale and consumption of marijuana. Even our federal government has decided to look the other way. An overwhelming majority of Americans favor this trend, and<span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"> <a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2016/03/24/top-medical-experts-say-we-should-decriminalize-all-drugs-and-maybe-go-even-further/\" target=\"_blank\">prominent professionals and prestigious organizations</a></span> increasingly call for not only the decriminalization of marijuana, but all drugs.\r\n\r\nHow can Laurinburg and Scotland County stop our population from declining further? One certain way would be to not put any more people than needed into the already overflowing prison system.\r\n\r\nCan we successfully attract potential retirees if we\'re busting potheads while allowing violent crime to spin out of control? Millennials, gen Xers and Baby Boomers all favor decriminalizing marijuana and many other drugs. How long can we afford to push against this wave?\r\n\r\nWhen it comes to fighting crime, Law Enforcement complains about its lack of resources. Does it make sense to commit scarce man-power, time and money to busting, prosecuting and jailing potheads? Can we allow Law Enforcement to squander precious, limited resources? Here\'s a <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"http://henrymakow.com/2016/03/politicians-up-to-their-ears-i.html\" target=\"_blank\">snapshot</a></span> of what our nation\'s \'War on Drugs\' is really about. It\'s not pretty.\r\n\r\nWith increasingly negative demographics (depressed economic activity, dismal health ranking, poor educational ranking, rising crime, increasing taxes and declining property values) this is an issue Laurinburg and Scotland County citizens will sooner or later be forced to confront.\r\n\r\nThere are no easy answers. Here\'s a professionally produced <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"https://youtu.be/wfxaJQVxSA4\" target=\"_blank\">video</a></span> documentary that may help.

That\'s important for our <strong>spiritual well being</strong>.\r\n\r\nWhen it comes to our <strong>financial well being</strong> nothing is more important than understanding how the money in our pockets and bank accounts gets created and flows. Some may remember mom and dad telling us that <em>\'money doesn\'t grow on trees\'</em>, but beyond that we were pretty much left on our own. Truth be told, most university educated economists, Wall Street financiers and bankers don\'t know much about this subject either. The fact is, those who control us don\'t want us to know what they are doing.\r\n\r\nU.S. President and former President of Harvard University, Woodrow Wilson, signed legislation in 1913 saddling us with the privately owned (Rothschild Banking Dynasty) <strong>US Federal Reserve System</strong> and its personal collection arm the <strong>Internal Revenue Service (IRS)</strong>. Years later, <strong>as Wilson lay dying, he said: \"I am a most unhappy man. I have unwittingly ruined my country\"</strong>. He\'d come to realize the destruction he\'d visited upon our nation, but there was nothing he could do to set things right.\r\n\r\nIndustrialist Henry Ford stated: <strong>\"It is well enough that people of the nation do not understand our banking and monetary system, for if they did, I believe there would be a revolution before tomorrow morning\"</strong>.\r\n\r\nUpon leaving office, President George W. Bush said: <strong>\"If the American people knew what we have done, they would string us up on the lamp posts\"</strong>.\r\n\r\n<strong>When it comes to money, credit and banking, the following documentary is the <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Bible</span>.</strong> Watch it and you\'ll know more than most so called experts. It was professionally produced in the mid 1990\'s by William T. Still so the video quality isn\'t quite up to today\'s HD standards, but as for the rest of it, nothing has changed. The knowledge you gain here will change your life for the better.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<center></center><center><iframe src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/HBk5XV1ExoQ?rel=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"></iframe></center><strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"> </span></strong>\r\n\r\n<strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">ALL LINKS - Change to Blue</span></strong>\r\n\r\n<address>You reach Carolina Crossroads News at (888) 472-7555 or send us an <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"http://carolinacrossroads.news/contact-us/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">email</a></span>.</address><address> </address><address>Related Articles:</address><address><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" title=\"123\" href=\"http://carolinacrossroads.news/election-fraud-american-style-videos/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Election Fraud – American Style (Videos)</a></span></address><address><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" title=\"123\" href=\"http://carolinacrossroads.news/privacy-surveillance-spying-video/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Privacy, Surveillance, Spying (Video)</a></span></address><address><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" title=\"123\" href=\"http://carolinacrossroads.news/video-century-enslavement-history-federal-reserve/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Century of Enslavement (Video)</a></span></address><address> </address><address>Affiliate Disclosure: Some links on this page may be affiliate links which, if used to purchase products, would yield a small commission to CarolinaCrossroads.News.

Eisenhower, who also served as Supreme Allied Commander of the European Theater during World War 2. Ike was no slouch and he definitely wasn\'t afraid to make waves.\r\n\r\nIke\'s great grand daughter <strong>Laura Eisenhower</strong> is now making waves of her own. Laura is the future of the future.  <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">\r\n</span>\r\n\r\nHere\'s a compelling video interview between Laura and Roxy Lopez.
