Don’t forget the “Do as I say, not as I do” clause that seems to be written into every law over the past few decades.
I saw this at Zero Hedge yesterday, it is good to see it here.
But, I bet it won’t get more than twenty posts.
Most of the nation is fast asleep.
Rule #1: Keep Them Afraid

Great Post. Good info to pass on to others.
Yeah, whatever....
for reference
As a member of the United States military, I carry a copy of the United States Constitution in my uniform pocket. I pull it our from time to time and read a little of it. I believe I’ve read the entire document at least five times so far. I for one will not obey any orders that are contrary to the Constitution.

Nice quote... short, sweet and to the point.
Ultimately, the life of a totalitarian government is not prolonged by the government itself, but by the very people it subjugates. Citizen spies are the glue of any police state, and our propensity for sticking our noses into other peoples business is highly valued by Big Brother bureaucracies around the globe.
There are a number of reasons why people participate in this repulsive activity. Some are addicted to the feeling of being a part of the collective, and “service” to this collective, sadly, is the only way they are able to give their pathetic lives meaning. Some are vindictive, cold, and soulless, and actually get enjoyment from ruining others. And still, like elites, some long for power, even petty power, and are willing to do anything to fulfill their vile need to dictate the destinies of perfect strangers.
Citizen spying is almost always branded as a civic duty; an act of heroism and bravery. Citizen spies are offered accolades and awards, and showered with praise from the upper echelons of their communities. People who lean towards citizen spying are often outwardly and inwardly unimpressive; physically and mentally inept. For the average moral and emotional weakling with persistent feelings of inadequacy, the allure of finally being given fifteen minutes of fame and a hero’s status (even if that status is based on a lie) is simply too much to resist. They begin to see “extremists” and “terrorists” everywhere. Soon, people afraid of open ears everywhere start to watch what they say at the supermarket, in their own backyards, or even to family members. Free speech is effectively neutralized.
This one is starting...
