Shootings In Cambridge, Watertown Draw Massive Police Response

Freedom Outpost

The answer to that question gets an emphatic “yes” by Cheryl Chumley in her book Police State USA: How Orwell’s Nightmare is Becoming our Reality.

As with any systematic abuse of power, we find instances of agencies regularly using force or spying against its citizens as a matter of policy.  But force does not always have to be employed.  

Back in the 1950s, the CIA recruited journalists to project the CIA’s take on many issues in a program called Operation Mockingbird.  Foreign policy and political campaigns were targets of Mockingbird.  In other words, the American public was the target of government propaganda, but in a much slicker way than anything George Orwell ever imagined.  

The program came to an end when congressional hearings put the light of day on Operation Mockingbird.

One of the most concerning developments is the use of SWAT teams to serve warrants (assuming one was obtained) in situations where no one’s life is in danger.  

A deadly example comes out of a SWAT raid on the home of Jose Guerena, a 26-year old Marine and Iraq War veteran.  When police awakened Guerena and his sleeping family, Guerena thought a gang was invading their home.  He hid his wife and four-year old son in a closet and grabbed a rifle.  The cops saw the rifle and opened fire, hitting him over sixty times. (See the video below)

In the resulting investigation, Guerena’s rifle was found on the floor with the safety still on.  Guerena’s family has been awarded a $3.4 million settlement paid for by the county of Los Angeles, CA.  

Oh, and the cops had the wrong address.

  • The murdering of average Americans will continue until the point that people get tired of hearing it and accept this horrible act. Once accepted by the people then it will continue on a mass scale.

    • This is the way it has always been in your Fascist Republic!
