Last night I watched a doco by Jesse Ventura that showed large numbers of " residential " compounds surrounded by floodlights and barbed wire that have been built throughout the USA . They are administered by the department of homeland security in cahoots with all those privatised intelligence gathering outfits that have sprung up around your country since 9/11. If what he says is true it seems that the powers that be are preparing for civil unrest on a large scale, and you're all being profiled.it is truly scary stuff. The only scenario I can think off that could cause this is the consequences of climate change. If (and I mean if) what the ipcc tells us is true we can expect a breakdown of the supply chain in just about every area that matters , in the next 15-20 years as conditions change and crops fail . The big moneyed intrests seem determined not to address the carbon pollution issue because it undermines their business models. As much as I hope it's all not true , I am starting to fear for the future, and the world our kids inherit. Is Jesse Ventura credible? .
Aussie Dave,
This subject is a big "can of worms". The things are real, but different people interpret them differently. There are some people who view this as a good thing, because they feel comfortable with the idea that the government will "take care of them.". Others view it with great concern, because they are worried that the way the government will "take care of them" will amount to a tyrannical take over, and these compounds will become more like prisons than "housing".
Take your pick about what you think they will become. I know what I think. Given the track record of the way this government has behaved, I would suggest that the answer is clear. One thing that is definitely clear is that this government has irresponsibly and/or corruptly run this nation onto the rocks of financial ruin, not to mention the social and moral paths of destruction that it has led us upon via the public "school" system and with the assistance of the lap dog media and Hollywood.
The government sees these conditions it has wrought, and has been preparing for the eventual collapse which it has engineered. These things mentioned in your post, along with the alarming increase in power grabs by the government to tighten its grip on the people, and the unprecedented increases in the police-state apparatus, the purchases of billions of rounds of mostly handgun ammo that is not "warfare legal" and could only supply the ever increasing numbers of government agents now carrying side arms, the "authorization" for the government to disregard due process of law and ignore all civil rights and indefinitely detain or incarcerate or even kill American citizens at its whim without charge or trial, and its now ubiquitous use of unmanned aerial drones to surveil and attack their desired targets inside or outside the US, among many other troubling issues, are all now a frightening reality here in the US.
This is a deep subject and this is just skimming the tip of the iceberg, as far as the amount of stuff that's going on under the surface, like we've recently seen with the revelation about the NSA surveillance and recording of everybody's phone calls and emails and storing them for whatever purposes they see fit to use them for in the future.
I would suggest that it's painfully clear that this government is taking a path right out of the book "1984".
Regarding Jesse Ventura, I think he is credible on some things, and not on others.
Regarding the "carbon dioxide" scam that various governments and globalist agencies have been using to attempt to create a global taxation base and over-arching globalist control measures, that has been exposed as a fraud several years ago when the emails were leaked from various governmental and "scientific" agencies which revealed their collusion to falsify the results to achieve their intended goals of increased world domination by forced taxation based upon lies. This is a matter of record now, so I hope that will put that issue to bed, even though the perpetrators are still trying to pretend that they weren't caught red-handed, and are still trying to push carbon controls and taxes with the folks who don't pay attention and didn't hear about them faking it all.
The impending calamity that they are likely to use to move into this scary next stage is the financial collapse and failure of the monetary system, which will allow them to implement the "Continuity of Government" plan which includes martial law to forcibly quell any dissent against the tyranny. Since the credibility of the "climate change" agenda has been compromised, it appears to me that the debt bubble and financial/monetary crises will most likely be the vehicle for the transition.
But, there are some people who think that all this is "for our benefit" and that the government should control our lives, because they know better than we do about what we are to do with our lives and families and wages.
I just don't happen to be one of them.
