A Round-Up of the Police State Programs NOT Affected by Govt Shutdown

Take a look at the programs and policies that will not be affected by a government shutdown, and you'll get a clearer sense of the government's priorities--priorities which, as I point out in my new book, A Government of Wolves: The Emerging American Police State, have little to do with serving taxpayers and everything to do with maintaining power and control, while being sold to the public under the guise of national security."

Do what you must to survive. Go to work, take care of your family, pay off your debts. But when you're not doing those things, which allow you to get by day-to-day, consider the future.

Pay attention to the political structure that is being created in the shadows, the economic system that is chaining us down with debt, and the feudal, fascist society borne out of the marriage of government and big business. Avoid the propaganda mills posing as news sources. Express your outrage, loudly and tirelessly, to the government's incursions on our freedoms. Yet act locally--taking issue with any and every encroachment on your rights, no matter how minor, whether it's a ban on goat cheese or installations of red light cameras at intersections and on school buses--because reclaiming our rights from the ground up, starting locally and trickling up, remains our only hope."
