Is the ongoing Surge of Police State in America a Surge of Karma?

[enhanced_deficit]

Ongoing Surge of Police State in America has any relation to 80% of Americans supporting invasion of Iraq based on lies and then electing another dubious politician who surged war policies that resulted in surge of civilian deaths/raids on homes of people occupied with funding from American taxpayers?

Small town America shouldn't resemble war zone: Column

Why do police departments need military vehicles and weapons?



(Photo: Pool photo by Mark Wilson)
Story Highlights



The Roanoke Rapids Police Department acquired some Humvees and MRAPs from the Pentagon.
In the last several months, many small towns have acquired MRAPs from U.S. war zones.
Is this the country we want to live in?



Something potentially sinister is happening across America, and we should stop and take notice before it changes the character of our country forever. County, city and small-town police departments across the country are now acquiring free military-grade weapons that could possibly be used against the very citizens and taxpayers that not only fund their departments but who the police are charged with protecting.

Recently in a small, sleepy North Carolina town of roughly 16,000 people, the Roanoke Rapids Police Department acquired some Humvees and Mine-Resistant, Ambush-Protected vehicles (or MRAPs), which it proudly displayed at a recent car show. Roanoke Rapids got them free from the Pentagon, returned from our wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. The town's police chief, Tommy Hathaway, noted, perhaps unintentionally, the misuse of this equipment on America's main streets, saying that "its intended purpose is to prevent mass casualties and to extricate people," but that hopefully Roanoke Rapids will never need it.
Next door, in South Carolina, the Columbia Police Department also received a free MRAP from the Pentagon, which otherwise would have cost Columbia nearly $700,000 (though the city is responsible for all repairs and upkeep going forward). Their interim police chief, Ruben Santiago, justified the acquisition saying that the MRAP "will be a barrier between the public and a hostile person or situation such as a barricaded suspect with weapons who may be threatening someone's life." We are quickly redefining what a rational response to a security threat looks like.

Richard Clarke: Potential for American ‘police state’ created by NSA
-
The Washington Times
Wednesday, February 26, 2014

A former cybersecurity adviser to President George W. Bush (http://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/george-w-bush/) fears that the NSA has created the “potential for a police state” to emerge in the United States.

“In terms of collecting intelligence, they are very good. Far better than you could imagine,” Richard Clarke (http://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/richard-clarke/) said Monday in San Fransisco while speaking at the the Cloud Security Alliance Summit, Search Security reported (http://searchsecurity.techtarget.com/news/2240214986/Richard-Clarke-NSA-revelations-show-potential-for-police-state).
SEE ALSO: NSA lawsuits may lead to expansion of spying program (http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2014/feb/20/nsa-lawsuits-may-lead-expansion-phone-spying-progr/)

“But they have created, with the growth of technologies, the potential for a police state,” said Mr. Clarke (http://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/richard-clarke/), a member of President Obama’s Review Group on Intelligence and Communications Technology.
Mr. Clarke (http://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/richard-clarke/), speaking about a 2013 report on data collection by government agencies that he was involved in, went on to note that much of the blame can be placed at the feet of policymakers who have failed to ask tough questions about what the NSA is doing and to lay out very specific ground rules.

Not exactly Karma, true .. but there are traces of collective punishment.

[Christian Liberty]

Karma is a satanic lie. No, it is not "karma" that causes these events. That would be absurd especially since the 20% that don't support this type of aggression are the ones who suffer the most under the police state. Most of the 80% are fine with it because they don't get it.

Mind you, I'm not saying there is no connection. There is a connection. Aggression overseas does naturally lead to more government at home. But this is simply a logical truth, not some kind of cosmic justice.

Indeed, in reality, criminals frequently get away with what they do in this life, especially government criminals. And the legalistically innocent (non-aggressors) are frequently forced to suffer in this world by these criminals.

Divine justice goes BEYOND this life. Every single sin is paid for exactly one time. It was either borne by Christ on the cross, or it is borne by the sinner for all eternity in Hell. Sins are NOT atoned for by mortals during earthly life, ever.

Not Worth It: Huge Majority Regret Iraq War, Exclusive Poll Shows

By Carrie Dann A divided nation finally agrees on something overwhelmingly: the war in Iraq was simply not worth fighting.
Seventy-one percent of Americans now say that the war in Iraq “wasn’t worth it,” a new NBC News/Wall Street Journal/Annenberg poll shows, with skepticism about the lengthy war effort up substantially even in the last 18 months.

Just 22 percent now believe the 2003 war effort was worthwhile.

An NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll earlier this month showed that 27 percent of respondents said the Afghan conflict was worth it, versus 65 percent who disagreed. Negativity about Iraq appears to rival that of the Vietnam War; three Gallup polls conducted from 1999-2000 found that about 7 in 10 Americans believe that 1970s war was a “mistake.”

The poll of 1,383 voters, conducted June 16 to June 22, has a margin of error of +/- 3.27.

Karma is cause and effect, mixed with intent. We certainly are seeing it in action.

Dhammapada -
"All that we are is the result of what we have thought: it is founded on our thoughts, it is made up of our thoughts. If a man speaks or acts with an evil thought, pain follows him, as the wheel follows the foot of the ox that draws the carriage. "

"All that we are is the result of what we have thought: it is founded on our thoughts, it is made up of our thoughts. If a man speaks or acts with a pure thought, happiness follows him, like a shadow that never leaves him."

Notorious DSD enabler, Al Sharpton :


'AMERICA IS ON TRIAL': Al Sharpton On Ferguson Protests

Colin Campbell
Aug. 17, 2014, 3:05 PM

Rev. Al Sharpton gave a passionate speech in St. Louis on Sunday morning, where he sharply criticized the release of video allegedly depicting Michael Brown, the black teen recently killed during a police encounter, robbing a convenience store before the fatal incident.

"Michael Brown is gone. You can run whatever video you want. He is not on trial. America is on trial!" Sharpton declared at the Greater St. Marks Family Church, according to video posted by Fox 2. "I have never in all my years seen something as offensive and insulting as a police chief releasing a tape of a young man trying to smear him before we even have his funeral."

The relatively small city of Ferguson, Missouri, has been the epicenter of racially charged protests since Brown's death just over a week ago. Local police have aggressively cracked down on the demonstrations, wielding military-style weapons, issuing curfews, and arresting a number of protesters and at least two reporters.

"America as a nation, Missouri as a state, Ferguson as a city, is at a defining moment on whether or not we know and are mature enough to handle policing — whether it goes over the line or not. We cannot lecture nations around the world about how they handle policing and we have an inability of handling it in our own nation. All policemen are not bad; most policemen are not bad. But all of them are not right all the time. And when they're wrong, they must pay for being wrong just like citizens pay when they're wrong," Sharpton said.

neither does Christianity think that way. The law of reaping and sowing is seasonal, not generational.

[A Son of Liberty]

you pay taxes, brah?

Don't you mean, "is the fruit of your labor stolen from you by force, the resistance to which is punishable by death"?

Because I don't think anyone is A) liable for what is done with that which is stolen from him, and B) obligated to resist unto his ultimate murder because of what the thief might do with the stolen goods.

Refusing to pay taxes does not stop at fines and imprisonment. If "taxation" is unjust, and it surely is, then the "fines" and "imprisonment" are unjust and should also be resisted, and we all know what happens when you resist... So yes, refusing to pay taxes means that you acknowledge your murder is wholly on the table. And indeed, kudos to those who truly resist, but one is certainly not obligated to resist on the grounds that the stolen goods may be used for a nefarious purpose.
