It can be targeted against individuals or crowds.\r\n\r\nWhen fully operational, it\'s going to be virtually impossible for Americans to fight off the monsters who now control us.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<center><iframe src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/i0qugOdCtBc\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"></iframe></center>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #333333;\"><em><strong>Sources:</strong></em></span>\r\n<a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCVt3STOc1XNEWOIWYW0UKaA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">The Fullerton Informer</span></a></p>\r\n\r\n<address><strong>Related Articles:</strong></address><address><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" title=\"123\" href=\"https://carolinacrossroads.news/5g-smart-grid-is-the-new-world-order-video/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">5G Smart Grid IS the New World Order (video)</a></span></address><address><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" title=\"123\" href=\"https://carolinacrossroads.news/privacy-surveillance-spying-video/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Privacy, Surveillance, Spying (video)</a></span></address><address><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" title=\"123\" href=\"https://carolinacrossroads.news/who-is-spying-on-you/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Who’s Spying on You?</a></span></address><address> </address>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Get Your Free Subscription Today to Carolina Crossroads News.

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\" 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.\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 Chemtrails. He told us: \'The Congressman isn\'t concerned\' and then bolted. If there\'s nothing wrong, why doesn\'t anyone want to talk about this?\r\n\r\nMany scientists believe military related weather modification is part of the story, and that\'s bad enough, but a growing number now believe it\'s part of the much larger Rothschild New World Order \'<strong>Agenda 21 and Agenda 2030</strong>\' depopulation program aimed at reducing world population levels.\r\n\r\nHealthcare professionals report emergency rooms nationwide are full with individuals, especially the young and old, reporting breathing difficulties, headaches, flu like symptoms and blurred vision.\r\n\r\nThe Internet is loaded with stories about how Merle Haggard and Prince\'s recent deaths were related to their high profile efforts to expose this sinister, evil and deadly program.\r\n\r\nHere are a couple of videos that shed some light on these mysterious goings on:\r\n\r\n<center></center><center><iframe src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/mEfJO0-cTis?rel=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"></iframe></center><center></center><center><span style=\"color: #333333;\"><em><strong> </strong></em></span></center><center></center>&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<center><iframe src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/X3lW-TGGlk0?rel=0\" width=\"480\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"></iframe></center>&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<center></center><center><iframe src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/rAxXyMAmBMs?rel=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"></iframe></center><strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"> </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\">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/big-bada-boom-video/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Big Bada Boom!

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\">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\">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\">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\">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.

The \'deep state\' uses this information when necessary to <strong>blackmail</strong> 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\nAs if all this isn\'t bad enough, another even more powerful weapon is now coming online disguised as a new, faster wireless system called 5G (5th generation wireless).\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.

Some say we’ve gone down about as far down as we can go, but we’re here to assure you things can and are about to get much worse.\r\n\r\nScotland County and Laurinburg are rapidly headed toward a financial disaster that will be virtually impossible to recover from. Few will be spared. Pain, misery, devastation and suffering will be wide spread.\r\n<h3>1. Laurinburg’s new Municipal Building</h3>\r\nLaurinburg\'s new Municipal Building, which started as a $5.5 million boondoggle is now projected to cost $9.7 million. Before it’s over, this figure can be expected to balloon to around $20 million. Laurinburg has no money, so taxpayers will foot the bill over the coming 40 years. Think taxes are high now, just wait.\r\n\r\nMany believe <strong>City Council is out of touch, not listening to citizen input, defying ‘the will of the people’</strong>. There’s truth here to be sure, but is this the real story?\r\n\r\nPoliticians have a finely tuned, innate ability to hear and understand exactly what voters want, and don’t. Their political careers depend upon this talent. What they actually do, is of course another matter, often driven by dark, murky forces, nefarious agendas and outside influences.\r\n<h3>2. Scotland County Economic Development</h3>\r\nEconomic Development Director, Mark Ward, has <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"http://laurinburgexchange.com/news/5442/new-edc-head-ready-to-promote-scotland-county\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">decided</a></span> the best way to precede forward is by continuing to go backward.\r\n\r\nDespite the fact that the old model of taking taxpayer money from one pocket and stuffing in the other to <em>‘buy jobs’</em> has failed miserably every time it’s been tried, Ward insists he can pull a rabbit out of the hat this time. He can’t!\r\n\r\nScotland County is blessed in that it is well positioned to attract the real family wage jobs of tomorrow that we desperately need. We’ve been so far down in the hole for so long that we don’t have the ‘sunk’ and ‘legacy’ costs many other struggling counties face should they decide a change in course is necessary. This clean slate has tremendous value, but only if we have the vision, clarity and courage to grab hold and make it happen.\r\n\r\nEvery day we spend heading in the present direction translates to lost opportunity and taxpayer money flushed down the toilet.\r\n<h3>3. Scotland County Schools</h3>\r\nScotland County’s School Board remains committed to consolidating, remodeling and building its new $41 million school. Since the average new school in America now costs $80 million, we’re guessing our new school will cost at least that.\r\n\r\nRemodeling existing schools will cost tens of millions more and busing students to outlying facilities will add millions on top of that.\r\n\r\n<strong>How any of this is supposed to rectify the County’s absolutely horrible ‘educational’ <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"http://carolinacrossroads.news/scotland-county-to-build-new-school/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">metrics</a></span> is anybody’s guess.</strong>\r\n\r\nThis nation was built in <strong>one room school houses</strong>. Today’s dysfunctional, bloated public education industry simply can’t compete. Here’s a <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"https://newrepublic.com/article/79470/1895-8th-grade-final-exam-i-couldnt-pass-it-could-you\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">test</a></span> 8th grade students were required to master over 100 years ago before being permitted to advance to high school. Few of today’s high school or even college graduates could pass this test. Can today\'s \'educators\' pass it? Can You?\r\n\r\nThroughout human history, ignorance, serfdom and enslavement have been the norm. Education and knowledge were reserved for a privileged few at the top of the food chain. Universal public education promised to ameliorate this condition.\r\n\r\nUnfortunately, it was co-opted and used to mold the lower classes into compliant, obedient worker bees that don’t complain, protest, need slave masters or even overseers. Constant brainwashing with trendy political agendas assures victims aren’t even unaware of their own enslavement. Talk about progressive! Contented cows really do produce more milk.\r\n\r\nThis social engineering model worked well until the Internet began offering <em>‘knowledge on demand’ </em>to all who seek it. Ignorance and enslavement would now be strictly by choice.\r\n\r\n<em>‘You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make him drink’</em>. Given a choice, most prefer to remain ignorant, seeking diversion through sports, entertainment, gaming, social media, drugs and porn. Those wanting to keep us enslaved prefer things this way, guaranteeing a never ending smorgasbord of trash, filth and sleaze.\r\n\r\n<strong>Today’s public education system is going to collapse. Can Scotland County taxpayers afford to support something that won’t even be around in 40 years when the bonds are finally retired?</strong>\r\n<h3>Follow the Money</h3>\r\nWhat do the above schemes, scams, hoaxes and cons all have in common?\r\n\r\nIf you and we want to advance some pet project, we must invest our own money, if necessary enlisting investors to take the leap into the unknown with us. Politicians on the other hand, don’t need to risk their own money. They spend money collected from us under duress, at gunpoint if necessary, sharing the spoils with kin, cronies and fellow kleptocrats.\r\n\r\n<strong><em>“Every politician deserves two terms, one in office, the second in prison.</em></strong>” Mark Twain\r\n\r\nScotland County and Laurinburg elected officials are putting us in bonded debt to the tune of about $150 million. It’s a big job, and honestly, this bunch doesn’t appear smart enough to accomplish such a big mission. We’re guessing they’ve got some serious outside help.\r\n\r\nThe question is: <strong>Who’s pulling the puppet’s strings? Who’s really driving this bus?</strong>\r\n\r\nIn case you haven’t been following the news, thousands of jobs have disappeared in the Charlotte-Mecklenburg area when employers skedaddled after exhausting the taxpayer funded incentives that drove them there in the first place.\r\n\r\nArchitects, contractors and vendors are hungry for projects like Laurinburg’s new Municipal Building, let alone the County’s new school + expensive re-model of existing facilities.\r\n\r\nVirtually every dollar spent on these projects will depart Scotland County as fast as the checks can be cut. Those of us left behind will face a mountain of debt that’s guaranteed to depress business activity and property values for decades. Skyrocketing taxes will kill any hopes of job creation or community revitalization.\r\n\r\nGovernment officials sell out citizens, voters and communities every day without so much as blinking an eye. Lucrative ‘consulting jobs’ for family and kin are just one time tested bait dangled before those hoping to become part of the revolving door’s never ending rotation.\r\n\r\nHave Laurinburg Council members, County Commissioners and School Board become so bedazzled by the brilliance thirty pieces of silver casts that they’re blind to their responsibilities and the consequences of reckless, negligent behavior?\r\n\r\n<strong>Who has offered what to whom?</strong> Answer this question, and our guess is we’ll all be a lot closer to the wizard who’s pulling the strings.\r\n<h3>What Can We Do?</h3>\r\nIf we’re going to wake up, now’s the time, before we go over the edge.\r\n\r\nIt’s time to circle the wagons. We’re armed with a powerful weapon our forefathers could never have dreamed of, the <strong>Internet</strong>.\r\n\r\nCockroaches scramble when light shines upon them.

That\'s not exactly breaking news.\r\n\r\nWe wholeheartedly agree with sentiments expressed by State Senator Tom McInnes, who stated: \"The way it is right now, we can’t make anybody locate a plant in Scotland County if they don’t want to come here. We’ve got to give them a reason to come here. We’re going to have to work in a different way than we’ve been working...\"\r\n\r\nDespite longstanding and ongoing attempts by County gurus to bring in new industry, the fact is Scotland County will never again be a manufacturing magnet. Mexico\'s new and highly automated state of the art plants pay wages of $2 per hour and No benefits. Even Chinese wages are higher, causing factories there to now <a href=\"http://youtu.be/t487ILVf87k\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">relocate</span></a> to cheaper venues like Vietnam in order to compete. Despite often repeated prognostications, even \'The Donald\' won\'t be able to reverse this trend.\r\n\r\nAs Senator McInnis continued: \"... we’re going to have to work together... to offer 21st century curricula for <strong>the jobs that we have available and not the jobs that we wish we had.</strong>”\r\n\r\nAmerica was founded upon the concept of a largely self regulating and self righting <strong>Free Market Economy</strong>. This was by no means perfect, but a great, prosperous and self governing republic was built upon its foundation. We became \'The Shining Light on the Hill\' that others looked up to and sought to emulate. Unfortunately, that was a long time ago.\r\n\r\nThere can be no doubt that Scotland County was destined to experience difficult times when mills and manufacturing began fleeing, first to Mexico and then China, but according to Free Market dogma, things would have eventually righted themselves had market forces been allowed to play out.\r\n\r\nThat didn\'t happen, and today, decades later, despite massive state and federal grant programs and tax incentives being thrown at the problem, Scotland County remains mired in a Deep Depression. Worse yet, subtract state and federal welfare programs, along with generous USDA subsidies, supports, loans and grants, and Scotland County\'s economy would completely implode.\r\n\r\nThe reasons the Revival never took hold here are easily identified, straight forward, and well understood... not complicated at all. <strong>The question is: Are we going do anything about it or do we intend to mire in this pig slop until there is absolutely nothing left?</strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>End of Part 1.

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 bread and pasta 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 diagnosis.\r\n\r\nThere\'s never been a better time to be alive, and it\'s never been easier to enjoy good health.\r\n\r\n<address>Source:</address><address><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" title=\"123\" href=\"http://www.countyhealthrankings.org/sites/default/files/state/downloads/CHR2015_NC_0.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CountyHealthRankings.org</a></span></address>&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<address> </address><address>Related Articles:</address><address><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" title=\"123\" href=\"http://carolinacrossroads.news/the-one-thing-that-can-save-us-all-video/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The One Thing that Can Save Us All!

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 cheer-leading squad to post signs of support?\r\n\r\nIt\'s true, the internet is brimming with <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"http://youtu.be/g8Kx_bscRMo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">videos</a></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\" rel=\"noopener\">Stingrays</a>\'</span> to collect private information, conversations and data on <strong>each and every citizen, </strong>regardless of whether we are suspected of criminal activity or not. Did you know that when an innocent looking white van pulls up next to you at a traffic light, it might in fact be the police using \'Backscatter X-Ray\' to look at everything inside your 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\" rel=\"noopener\">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 $4.5 billion is <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2015/11/23/cops-took-more-stuff-from-people-than-burglars-did-last-year/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">stolen</a></span> each year from the American people by law enforcement.\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\" rel=\"noopener\">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 is lost due to actual burglaries. <strong><em>That’s right; according to our own FBI, the vast majority of </em><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><em><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2016/03/28/the-feds-have-resumed-a-controversial-program-that-lets-cops-take-stuff-and-keep-it/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">thefts</a></em></span> <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 accurately 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\nMany LEOs are ex-military, and while there can be valuable synergies between the two positions, 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>freedom</strong></em> and <em><strong>liberty</strong></em>. This might work well in a military setting, but it makes it difficult to strike 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, and theirs has never been an easy mission. In today\'s politically charged atmosphere, it\'s more challenging than ever.\r\n\r\nDepartments screen recruits to eliminate those with high IQ\'s because intelligent individuals are more likely to question illegal, immoral and unconstitutional orders. This hiring bias robs society of a most valuable and capable human resource at 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 in no way ensures laws are <em>just, lawful or constitutional</em>.\r\n\r\nMost legislation is not written by the legislators we elect, but rather by <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"https://youtu.be/zY5UuWkVq8g\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">professional lobbyists</a> </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 and lawful instructions?\r\n\r\nTo make matters worse, Washington DC now showers state and local law enforcement with virtually unlimited taxpayer funded <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"http://www.heritage.org/research/reports/2007/03/federal-law-enforcement-grants-and-crime-rates-no-connection-except-for-waste-and-abuse\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">grants</a></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 you realize that Officers are able to selectively turn cameras <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"http://youtu.be/4J4VR4gFlwU\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong><em>on and off</em></strong></a></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 disappointed. There\'s 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 public dialogue and perceptions rather than doing the hard work needed to address genuine 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=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"http://www.thenewamerican.com/usnews/item/16942-dhs-creates-new-fusion-centers-taking-control-of-local-police\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">fusion centers</a></span>) with Federal agencies that could not otherwise legally obtain such information.\r\n\r\nThis innocuous, seemingly innocent exchange <strong><em>is 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.</strong></em> 5G is now coming on line and contrary to what you are being told it\'s much more than an upgraded, faster wi-fi system. 5G is an extreme health danger and a dangerous crowd control and thought control weapon developed by DARPA and the military. <em><strong>\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 extremely concerned and have formed <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"http://cspoa.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CSPOA.org</a></span> (Constitutional Sheriffs and Peace Officers Association) in an effort to protect their citizens and our nation.

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.

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?

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.

Willis and now Guy McCook, and with the elections of Mary Evans, James Garby Jr. and Tim Ivey, the back-door dealing will be stopped.
