Tell them that they have to give up their rights in order to be safe, and they will gladly comply.
The Founding Fathers warned about this, but the American people ignored their advice and fell prey to tyranny like the mindless fools they are. Benjamin Franklin advised us to not give up our liberty for security, but look where we are.
Thomas Jefferson said that even under the best forms of government, those entrusted with power will slowly but surely pervert it into tyranny, and look where we are now. He also stated that from time to time, the tree of liberty must be refreshed with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Sorry I was being cynical to blow off steam at what seems to be an oppressive situation I really don't want to
end up in a detention center nor see anyone else end up in one or be taken away in the middle of the night.

Unfortunately your statement is still true regardless of your wants or desires.
Your membership on this site is more than enough to gain you access to Club Guitmo.
You and people like you WILL be rounded up I promise you that.
I have already prepared my family for this eventuality.
Honest,loving,hard working Americans WILL BE criminalized and detained as suspected terrorists for
expressing thier views on conspiracy sites JUST LIKE THIS ONE!!!!
Bet on it my friend, and if you haven't already done so, let your wife and kids in on the vacation plans that our government has laid out for you and make preparations NOW!!!. They will thank you for it later.
I'll bring the smokes if you can sneak in some whiskey.
and I am NOT being synical.
See ya there.

Every part of that reeks of tyranny, and none of it hints towards protection. The more I think about it, the more it makes sense. Al Qaeda is a CIA puppet organization. They staged a false-flag terror attack, and we invaded Afghanistan. What is there to gain from that? Oil and opium profits, a location from which to attack other countries who don't go along with the agenda, an increase in defense budgets, the militarization of the police, and finally, oppressing the people at home slowly but surely.

The only thing I would argue with you is the "approaching" part.
It's been here since Reagan/Bush and only growing steadily in power since.
9/11 was the catalyst for the final step in to tyranny and has led to the wars that have bled the people dry.
Those in power will never willingly relinquish it.
But this is not just the US; tyranny is rampant world wide and human rights and values are on the chopping block.
I've seen this coming for 30 years or more and it will not be pretty.
The next 2-3 years will decide what the future of mankind will be like.
mankind maybe manhate would be more appropriate.
we live in interesting times at any rate.
It may be an age of heroes or an age of cowards, we'll just have to wait and see.

Don't you think that the if this was all a false flag, CIA plot, they'd have picked a better country than A-stan? And have planned a more simple operation than 9-11??
