"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." ~ H.L. Mencken
$1 Trillion Spent on US Police State Since 9/11
Submitted by Melinda L. Secor on Mon, 2016-09-12 00:00
"Never let a tragedy go unused. This mantra of the State is as strong today as it was the day after 9/11. As 9/11 was used to invade and occupy Iraq and Afghanistan – securing a geopolitical foothold in the region like never before – civil rights were dismantled and energies were devoted to the development of a massive domestic surveillance state that Stasi Germany could only dream of."
