Three States Subjected To 'Martial Law Sweeps'


www.infowars.com
Law-enforcement agencies in Tennessee, Mississippi and Arkansas took part in what was described by local media as "an anti-crime and anti-terrorism initiative" involving officers from more than 50 federal, state and local agencies.

Given the military style name "Operation Sudden Impact", the initiative saw officers from six counties rounding up fugitives, conducting traffic checkpoints, climbing on boats on the Mississippi River and doing other "crime-abatement" programs all under the label of "anti-terrorism".

WREG Memphis news channel 3 reported that the Sheriff’s Department arrested 332 people, 142 of whom were fugitives, or "terrorists" as they now seem to be known.

Hundreds of dollars were seized and drugs recovered, and 1,292 traffic violations were handed out to speeding terrorists and illegally parked terrorists.

Yep, they lost the fake war on drugs, so now in order to remain in the business of doing nothing, they renamed their business to keep the money flowing. Since we have 911 now, they conveniently rename their gestapo tactics the War on terrorism. Yep, dope smokers and alcoholics are the latest terrorist and they will arrest you as long as the jail isn't full yet.

If they can't arrest you they charge you a hundred bucks for every paper that's out of date or unsigned. Traffic tickets are getting bigger & bigger. It use to be $150 for three offenses on your citation. Now they're like 109 or more each so traffic stops easily cost $500 if you pay on time or don't have to go to court and take an extra day or two off. Not to mention the forced insurance racket that will no doubt go up.

Hey but, don't worry instead of pulling you over and trying to take you to the jail revenue system they're hiring corporations to put up traffic citation cameras who share the revenue with the city's who just hire computer guys to process the tickets and then send you to bill collectors all in the name of serving the public.

One step closer to civil War, I say. Half the population will be government & law enforcement and the other half terrorist or terrorist collaborators. Now if we can only get them to all mark their cars & wear uniforms, so we know who's who.

A neighbor heard on the radio that here in Arizona there was a drug/alcohol (I suppose alcohol is a drug as well) crackdown today. Its nearing the end of the month, and the cops need to fill their quotas.

Remember harassing innocent civilians stops terrorism, or at least that's what "they" want you to think. Just forget about your rights as a human being, believe the government is there to protect you, and get in line with the rest of the sheep.

Baaaahhhhhhhhhh...

It's the real deal karl! Here's a news clip from the Memphis Sweep, titled, "Memphis Area Agencies Team Up For Anti-Terror Initiative"

www.knoxnews.com...

What's HIGHLY disturbing about this is I don't see a SINGLE thing anyone was arrested for or cited for having ANYTHING WHATSOEVER to do with "terrorism"...

This is simple bullying and intimidation of the american public under the "guise" of "fighting terrorism"...Martial Law implementation 101.

Yep, here is another supporting story:

www.wreg.com...

This is unbelievable. How much taxpayer money was wasted on this little adventure? They are claiming that seizing 100's of dollars is a success, although this operation had to cost taxpayers in the 100's of thousands of dollars. Sweet justice.

Crime is crime.

Terrorism is terrorism.

The two have seperate definitions in the Harper Collins English dictionary.

Had they said this was a 'crime initiative, then im all applause. However, it is this 'terror terror every where, every ones a terrorist' BS that really needs hauling in and put in check.

So - crime sweeps ? all good.

Terror sweeps ? pure fear mongering BS.

the reason...ok... my opinion. yes, this could have been handled like every other crime crackdown. but to make sure that the proper "fear element" was maximized, they needed to use the right kind of language and a large dose of media coverage. you need to "plant the seeds" in the common mans mind, that there is an massive, militeristic, upstoppable force, that can be activated by the government, at any time. this of course, is good to get the actual criminals off the street. but people will remember the coordination and mobilization of the various police agencies in this particular endeavor, and it will be a deterent in the future, if anyone thinks about actually planning and moving against our own government.

That's a good question. Depending on the evidence that they use to say why you are "suspected", I would think that they could use it as justification.

one more thing to ponder... when these coordinated roundups happen, they have a way of making regular american citizens, that are actually employed in many of these local law enforcement agencies, become more accepting of rounding up massive amounts of their own citizens. this is backed up by positive reinforcement given out to the officers, that they are "clearing the streets" of criminals. in the future, when the orders come out, they will not hesitate to round up other people in the name of good, justifiable, law enforcement reasons. let me ask you...have you been to a video store? or a video gaming store? go in sometimes and look at how much violent, gun toting, videos and games there are. de-sensitation takes some time, but it does have an effect. it dulls minds to the violence, and makes it more acceptable when the (good guys) retaliate in a violent and punitive way. i would at this point mention a past event that involved an intelligent populace over in europe. but you need to actually read..yes read...of the slow, and subtle manipulation of that countries people.
