Chicago “Black Site” Indicates America Has Passed the Point of No Return
This past week, the creepy “Homan Square” detention facility was revealed to the public, and the story has been trending heavily throughout the alternative media. First person accounts of suspects being whisked away to the secret building without anyone knowing their whereabouts, and being subjected brutal interrogations, sounds like something you’d hear about from some 3rd world dictatorship.
But unfortunately, it’s happening right here in America as we speak. And if this facility existed for so long without the public’s knowledge, that begs the question; are there any more of these police run “black sites” that we don’t know about?
Obviously, this doesn’t inspire a lot of confidence for America’s future. If they can get away with this now, what will they try tomorrow? I don’t think any sane American thinks this sets a good precedent.
But more importantly, if you look at Homan Square from a historical perspective, the implications of its existence are far more gut wrenching. Most despotic regimes utilize a wide variety of terror tactics to keep their people in line, but the ability to make someone disapear is the most effective.
Imagine for moment, that you lived under a brutal police state. In this case, a state that is far worse than what we have now, like North Korea or Stalin’s Russia. From time to time, you will see the public being subjected the whims of callous soldiers and police. You might see public figures that the regime has deemed a threat defamed, ridiculed, or exiled. Other times, the state might want the people to see what they’re really capable of, and will have dissidents rounded up, and publicly executed. Or maybe, someone you know is locked up in an insane asylum, rather than being sent to a work camp. And with all of these punishments, there is the potential that the victim’s family and friends will also face harassment, imprisonment, and death.
But then, sometimes people just “disappear.”
See, there’s a reason why tyrannical regimes have a variety methods to deal with resistance. It’s easy to just kill everyone who is a threat, but it isn’t always the best way to maintain control. Each threat to the regime is somewhat unique, so each threat demands a unique method of disposal.
And that’s where the ability to make someone disappear comes in handy. This may be the most effective way to keep the population in line, because it preys upon two of the most prolific human fears.
First of all, there is our inherent fear of the unknown. When someone disappears without a trace, our imaginations will eventually concoct the worst possible explanation. And without knowing exactly how it happened, we have to accept the possibility that it could happen to us as well, and there is no way to stop it. So if your government is capable of this, then you have every reason to follow the rules and stay in line. You never know when you might be next.
Which brings me to the second fear. It preys upon our fear of other people. There are plenty of phobias that humans are capable of, but nothing is more terrifying than what your fellow humans might do to you when nothing can stop them. Snakes can bite you, bears can eat you, and water can drown you, but only your fellow humans are capable of torturing you, and only your fellow humans know what will hurt you the most. Combine that with the fear of the unknown, and you now have the most effective method of terror and control.
But there’s also a third factor that makes this tactic so effective. Most people don’t know it, because only those who have been “disappeared,” know the awful truth.
For a better explanation, I’d like cite one of the most underrated historians of our time, Dan Carlin. If you’re a history buff and you’ve never heard of him, you’re missing out. He doesn’t just know what he’s talking about, he knows how to relate history to you personally. In this short video, he explains why the Nazis and Soviets were able to convince millions of people to enslave and murder their countrymen. When we think of the Nazis, oftentimes we think their control was fostered by their propaganda efforts, but no, that was only one small piece of the puzzle. In reality, their grip on the population is built on their ability to make people disappear.
Keep that in mind when you read about Homan Square. If that place is an isolated incident, there may still be time to stop these secret facilities before they usher in a new age of terror. But if there are already dozens of these “Homan Squares” out there that we don’t know about, and they’re just getting warmed up, we may have passed the point of return. If we ever become a country where everyone fears they might just disappear for the slightest reason, then we are on the fast track to the kind of goose stepping tyranny that we’ve only read about.
