They can not and will not keep you safe

- Occasionally get lucky and catch someone. Only because the net is thrown so wide and is constantly running.
- Continue to infringe on our rights. Our right to be secure in our persons and effects, our privacy. Our right to property.
- Push people, who may have otherwise not have, over the edge because of their infringements.
- Continue psyops, in airports, in cities, through the media
- Possibly perform false flag actions to ‘prove’ their effectiveness.
In the NYC Port Authority Bus Terminal on the way to the subway there are a set of glass doors. In between is just 20 or so feet of nothing except to one side an exit to 8th Ave. This morning for the first time that I’ve seen since I started taking the train every day was two tables with 10 or so cops standing around them in between those sets of doors. Half were sitting down and half leaning against the wall. Not a one was searching any of the hundreds passing by them every minute. They weren’t even paying attention as far as I could tell. Just hanging out, relaxing, talking to each other. There was no dog to sniff for explosives. The only thing missing in this mesh of blue uniforms and cream plastic tables was a bright pink box of donuts.
I do not want these guys actually searching people but I’m pointing out that they aren’t even doing the task handed to them. Why is my federal and state tax money being spent to employ these people? The other end of the system for me was South Ferry station. There were no police stationed there. I would bet there weren’t cops at all the stops along the way. Explain to me how with so many holes in the system can it be secured? How is this any more than psyops? A person looking to bring some tool of destruction onto the NYC Subway could easily walk a few blocks down from 42nd St and enter there where there aren’t cops. They could also push their luck and not look overly suspicious and just walk past them like everyone else does. I’ve seen cops at South Ferry’s entry to the 1 train plenty of times. Yesterday in fact. 2 cops were talking on cell phones and 4 or 5 standing at a table doing nothing. Occasionally I see them harassing some brown fellow who is dressed as I would be on the weekend. I suppose my skin color and business casual dress is enough to outweigh the anti-government and pro-freedom patches and buttons on my book bag and literature always in my hands. Occasionally I run into National Guard or ESU guys posted around holding M-16s. The Manhattan Libertarian Party’s publication Serf City, Volume 3, Issue 2 has an article called ‘A Show of Force’ by Matt Siegel. In it he talks about how ESU officers were securing one of two entrances to a building. How a National Guard troop in the subway wasn’t worried about having to use his M16 in close quarters because he didn’t have any ammo. How a NY State Guard deployed after 9/11 had a dummy training gun on his hip while ’securing’ a city street.
All these ’security’ measures are bogus. They are in place to waste money, gain power and turn the population into sheeple. You want peace and security? Help fight for a government that doesn’t get itself involved in other countries’ business. That doesn’t try to tell the world’s people how to live, both within and without it’s borders.
UPDATE: 7 cops in the South Ferry station on the way home. 5 before the turnstiles. 3 shooting the shit, 1 on a cell phone, 1 staring out the window into the sky. 2 were down on the platform and were actually checking people out as they walked down the stairs but only on one side. At Rector St (the first stop) 3 cops walked upto the doors, leaned in and looked around the car I was on. 2 other cops were leaning against the walk talking and 1 was just walking around. They were all far enough away from the entrances that they’d miss most people coming onto the platform from outside. I saw not a single cop the rest of ride or in Port Authority. Possible terrorists, be sure enter the subway from Port Authority at evening rush hour or South Ferry in the morning.

Hey an entirely original post. Sounds like this situation really pissed you off. Just an opinion, but I think you need more of these.

They require more energy and time than I normally have. And I don’t have material that isn’t already out there. Pay me enough to edit your posts and perhaps I can take up this fulltime. Today it was just so disgusting. What they represent… what they do is just so insulting and fits what I’ve and many others had said before. They will provide services you don’t need or want (aka infringe on your freedom) and do it poorly. The only thing that keeps them from failing is the monopoly they have and the force used to make things happen. The almost infinite money supply helps too.
What isn’t an opinion here? Fact is useless without context. That context is subjective.

I could always put that in the next school budget. Nobody really reads it so it may get passed. I have a feeling that might push you over the edge though.
I often find it interesting when you see real young national guard kids at the airport. You know they’re part time, probably just paying for college or something and you wonder if they are really willing to use the guns that they have. You make a good point about stock M16s being a crappy CQB weapon and that they may not even be loaded. I dunno, I often think about the IDF kids too. Part of me thinks they might be more likely to use their weapon.
I realize it consumes a lot of time but I appreciate the entirely original posts because they help crystallize exactly what you stand for. You tend to give a lot of interesting information in links as well. They give you a forum to speak about a subject without referring to an article that already has someone’s opinion embedded in it.
Agreed. You do get to put forth your opinions when commenting on another article, but it is still interesting to see what experiences “set you off” to the point that you make time to construct an original post.
Please don’t take this as an attempt at being a psychological mind-phuck, but are you offended by just the image of someone watching over you with a gun? Like for example if we changed the flag to be a silhouette of an armed guard on a hill would that gnaw at you?

Sure I’d be offended. The idea of something can be just as offensive as the actual act. That connection of the abstract and reality is what makes us like and dislike fiction. A silhouette of an armed guard would bother me if it implied force used to infringe on someone’s freedom or support of that institution. But a silhouette of a minuteman from 1777 or something with a musket would be the opposite as it represents the act of throwing off tyranny and attempting to establish a free nation. An offensive image or idea is only offensive because of the understanding of where that idea can go in the hands of man.
If the flag was changed to that I’d welcome it. It would only help to remind me of the infractions occurring and enforce my desire to fight them. It’d also be so blatant a move that people who otherwise would have not noticed the direction of things would perhaps take notice.
