Protests turn to Free For All But there is Something Much More

Riots are have erupted with hundreds of protesters gathering at a suburban St. Louis police station on Monday demanding murder charges against an officer who shot to death an unarmed black teenager over the weekend. Looting just went nuts like the ’60s. While this is being painted as a race issue, there is yet another issue that is not being addressed – that is the militarization of the civil police forces around the country.

Ever since 911, there has been a trend moving toward much harsher local police. Here is a photo of how the Boston Police have militarized to the point it looks like war against the people. Even small towns are geared up for war.
The small town of Medford, Oregon with a population of 76,462 has spent millions of dollars to militarize their police. They have their own Swat Teams, yet no incident in history of some major shooting of such a nature to warrant a Swat Team. The entire reason where there was the Second Amendment was to eliminate this very threat of standing armies. We are seeing the abuse of force at every level.Medford Police bought a new vehicle that some say could survive a so-called the apocalypse. They used their Swat Team to go after a mere carjacker.
Medford, New Jersey with a population of just 23,033 also has a Swat Team. They rushed in and held two white kids on the ground at gun-point for shooting potatoes into a lake setting hair spray as the propellant.

The whole thing about standing armies has been their historical use out of boredom. It is a shame to pay for something and then not use it. Police use to be friendly as shown in Normal Rockwell’s classic painting. Sure there are a few good souls still left. But the attitudes have shifted to being just mean and nasty as they look at the civilian population as evil.

This is a problem that is brewing and is extremely dangerous to say the least. Examples of police abuse are all over the internet. There has been a loss of respect for the people and there seems to be no way to reverse this process.

They sprayed protesters in the eyes during Occupy Wall Street movements everywhere. The conduct has been outrageous. This killing of this black teen is not simply racism. The problems are much deeper. Claiming this is just racism deflects the entire issue and makes it simply black-v-white. This is something far more serious for it is impacting our entire society.
Nevada-Protest

The protests over land was yet another example. The police showed up with weapons and told the people they would shoot to kill. The police are being transformed from protecting the public into protecting government from the public. Most do not even see what transformation they have gone through.

Russia Moves Toward Price Controls

WWII-Price Controls

Russia wants government control of food prices to prevent the impact upon the the people of war-time economics. In order to prevent a rapid rise in inflation, Russian regulation in the marketplace is a battle-cry. The considerations show that the Kremlin fears great resentment among the people because of the cost of the conflict with the West.

WHTCBT-Y 1900-2013

We can see what happened to just wheat during World War I without price controls.During World War II, prices were controlled and the people supported it because they believed in the war. That is the entire key. As long as Russians believe their government is fighting a righteous war, then the will endure the price-freeze.

Tensions Continue to Rise Between USA & Russia & the Media Plays Games

Free-Society
Russia is teaming up with the Red Cross to send aid to Eastern Ukraine. The US is trying to say this is an invasion attempt. In fact, our sources are clear. In the city of  The greatest complaint rising from the East is the propaganda being hurled around in both directions. In this pro-Ukrainian cartoon showing those supporting Putin are unaware of the reality that they do not live in a “free society” as their poster claims.
In Horlivka (Russian: Gorlivoka), there is not even bread for sale for a week at a time. Children no longer go to school but there is now no running water nor is there electricity. Making matters worse, there is a chemical plant there that if hit by shelling may cause widespread humanitarian problem. The civilians trapped in these cities are in need of aid. One of our contacts there in Horlivka cannot leave yet they are pro-Ukrainian.
Media
The media is being blamed for their role in creating false reporting. This is one example of the cartoons revealing the problem. It seems as though the younger generations avoid the mainstream newspapers and TV for they just do not trust them. Even in the USA, we are seeing this same trend away from media and this is clearly underway also in Japan.
Russian-Propaganda
The propaganda press on the Russian side is hard at work using footage of anywhere to claim the Ukrainian army has killed children. This mock new flash says the Ukrainian army bombed a house in Donestk injuring many children children using the picture of the Coliseum of course as a joke. The media has been taking footage from other conflicts to try to stir up the resentment for war.
People have been tracing the photos and are exposing the truth. However, mainstream media will never cover such issues. Nevertheless, both sides play the same gain.

Putin Raid Pension Funds to Stimulate Crimea

Putin-Uric
I cannot find anyone who can articulate why Russia is now an enemy of the USA other than statements that he is empire-building. Other than that, Russia is no longer communist, they are fully integrated into Western political-economics. In order to stimulate the ailing economy on the Crimean peninsula, Putin accesses resources from the private and public pension funds. In the Kremlin there is however apparently violent resistance, since one minister has been fired rather spectacularly. Here too, we see that pension funds are just too tempting to access for government. This is very much like the Temples at Delphi. They simply proved to great a treasure even for the gods. Putin is staring into the very eyes of the West and his desire to sustain Russia will only lead to seizing more from the public to fund the government.
