20 Signs That The United States Is Rapidly Becoming A Totalitarian Big Brother Police State

20 Signs That The United States Is Rapidly Becoming A Totalitarian Big Brother Police State

The following are 20 signs that the United States is rapidly becoming a totalitarian "Big Brother" police state....

#1) A new bill being pushed by Senators John McCain and Joe Lieberman would allow the U.S. military to round up large numbers of Americans and detain them indefinitely without a trial if they "pose a threat" or if they have "potential intelligence value" or for any other reason the President of the United States "considers appropriate".

#2) Lawmakers in Washington D.C. working to create a new immigration bill have decided on a way to prevent employers from hiring illegal immigrants: a national biometric identification card all American workers would be required to obtain.

#3) Barack Obama is backing a plan to create a national database to store the DNA of people who have been arrested but not necessarily convicted of a crime.

#4) Just to get on an airplane, Americans will now have to go through new full-body scanners that reveal every detail of our exposed bodies to airport security officials.

#5) If that wasn't bad enough, the Transportation Security Administration has announced that airport screeners will begin roving through airports randomly taking chemical swabs from passengers and their bags to check for explosives.

#6) Starting this upcoming December, some passengers on Canadian airlines flying to, from or even over the United States without ever landing there, will only be allowed to board their flights once the U.S. Department of Homeland Security has determined they are not terrorists.

#7) Organic milk is such a threat that the FDA has been conducting military style raids on Amish farmers in Pennsylvania.

#8) An NYPD officer has broken his silence and has confessed that innocent citizens are being set up and falsely arrested and ticketed in order to meet quotas.

#9) A growing number of police departments across the U.S. are turning to mobile camera systems in order to fight motor vehicle theft and identify unregistered cars.

#10) For decades, Arizona has been known as "the sunset state", but lately many frustrated residents have started calling it "the surveillance state".

#11) Judges and police in Florida have been caught using "secret codes" on tickets in the state of Florida.

#12) An extensive investigation has revealed that between 2003 and 2007, that state of Texas quietly gave hundreds of newborn baby blood samples to a U.S. Armed Forces laboratory for use in a forensics database.

#13) A 6-year-old girl was recently handcuffed and sent to a mental facility after throwing temper tantrums at her elementary school.

#14) One 12-year-old girl in New York was recently arrested and marched out of her school in handcuffs just because she doodled on her desk.

#15) In Florida, students have been arrested by police for things as simple as bringing a plastic butter knife to school, throwing an eraser, and drawing a picture of a gun.

#16) When a mother on a flight to Denver spanked both of her children and cussed out a flight attendant who tried to intervene, she suddenly found herself handcuffed and headed for prison. Why? She was charged with being a domestic terrorist under the Patriot Act.

#17) A new global treaty may force U.S. Internet service providers to spy on what you do online.

#18) A leaked Obama administration memo has revealed plans for the federal government to seize more than 10 million acres of land from Montana to New Mexico.

#19) 56 percent of Americans questioned in a CNN/Opinion Research Corporation poll said that the U.S. government has become so large and powerful that it poses an immediate threat to the rights and freedoms of ordinary citizens.

#20) But one other recent poll found that 51 percent of Americans agree with this statement: "It is necessary to give up some civil liberties in order to make the country safe from terrorism."

I found this to be a good article that covers basically everything that has been posted here on ATS, and includes other things people may have not seen/been aware of.

The US is becoming a giant police state, the signs are written right above (visit the article for links to articles showing the things above going on). Unfortunately it seems that many of us want to do something, but our organization is just not good enough. If we can all work together, we can take down the people that are ruining our society and well being.

I suspect that sooner than later we will see Americans disappearing and being thrown into detention centers. Yes, I know this has been said many times before, but these days are becoming worse, and the new laws/bills being pushed through the system are getting passed - that is not good!

Please add your thoughts/comments.

I think someone beat you to it.

Well I did a search and nothing came up. I don't understand why the ATS search keeps doing crap like that... I use several different search strings, and nothing came up...

This sort of thing needs to be brought to people's attention, and if that means multiple threads with the same information, I'm all for it. How much of this crap are people going to take before we stand up and come together. People acting out a few at a time can be spun into a BS isolated incident, but if masses of people start taking things into their own hands, then they will have no choice but to listen. The FEMA concentration camps do exist, but they can't lock all of us up!!!

And I bet there are twenty more.
America is so out of touch, Boo hoo terrorists...blah blah
Fake wars, fake fear, equal the land of the see all things and home of the enslaved.

Good to see that some people care. It doesn't seem like any of the threads that included this article got the attention you'd think it would. I found this article to be very intuitive because it included a lot of things we all talk about here all the time, and then some.
