The police state has arrived” according to U.S. Constitutional Attorney John W. Whitehead, who writes that “As long as we continue to allow callousness, cruelty, meanness, immorality, ignorance, hatred, intolerance, racism, militarism, materialism, meanness, and injustice—magnified by an echo chamber of nasty tweets and government-sanctioned brutality—to trump justice, fairness, and equality, there can be no hope of prevailing against the police state.

Attorney John Whitehead is also the founder and president of The Rutherford Institute and author of the book “Battlefield America- The War on the American People, which is a portrait of a nation at war with itself. John writes about his observations of towns and cities that have become battlefields and police forces across the United States that have been transformed into “extensions of the military”.

“The American people are the enemy combatants to be spied on, tracked, frisked, and searched. The consequences of resisting the unjust treatment can be a one-way trip to jail or even death” the attorney writes. However, the insidious shift has been so subtle that most people had no idea it was happening, according to Whitehead, and now in exchange for safe schools and lower crime rates, the door has been opened to “militarised police, zero-tolerance policies in schools, and SWAT team raids.” Source

“America is on the verge of destroying the very freedoms that define it. Hands up!―the police state has arrived,” says John Whitehead, and he and his wife Nisha Whitehead are advising the American people to break the cycle of abuse that has been suffered in 2023.

Break the Cycle: In 2024, Say No to the Government’s Cruelty, Brutality and Abuse

By John & Nisha Whitehead December 26, 2023

The greater the power, the more dangerous the abuse.”—Edmund Burke

Folks, it’s time to break the cycle of abuses—cruel, brutal, immoral, unconstitutional, and unacceptable—that have been heaped upon us by the government for way too long.

Here’s just a small sampling of what we suffered through in 2023.

The government failed to protect our lives, liberty, and happiness. The predators of the police state wreaked havoc on our freedoms, our communities, and our lives. The government didn’t listen to the citizenry, refused to abide by the Constitution, and treated the citizenry as a source of funding and little else. Police officers shot unarmed citizens and their household pets. Government agents—including local police—were armed to the teeth and encouraged to act like soldiers on a battlefield. Bloated government agencies were allowed to fleece taxpayers. Government technicians spied on our emails and phone calls. And government contractors made a killing by waging endless wars abroad.

The president became more imperial. Although the Constitution invests the President with very specific, limited powers, in recent years, American presidents have claimed the power to completely and almost unilaterally alter the landscape of this country for good or for ill. The powers amassed by each successive president through the negligence of Congress and the courts—powers which add up to a toolbox of terror for an imperial ruler—empower whoever occupies the Oval Office to act as a dictator, above the law and beyond any real accountability. The presidency itself has become an imperial one with permanent powers.

The cost of endless wars drove the nation deeper into debt. Policing the globe and waging endless wars abroad hasn’t made America—or the rest of the world—any safer, but it has made the military-industrial complex rich at taxpayer expense.

The courts failed to uphold justice. Time and time again, the Supreme Court failed to right the wrongs being meted out by the American police state. A review of critical court rulings over the past decade or so, including some ominous ones by the U.S. Supreme Court, reveals a startling and steady trend towards pro-police state rulings by an institution concerned more with establishing order and protecting the ruling class and government agents than with upholding the rights enshrined in the Constitution.

The Surveillance State rendered Americans vulnerable to threats from government spies, police, hackers and power failures. Thanks to the government’s ongoing efforts to build massive databases using emerging surveillance, DNA and biometrics technologies, Americans became sitting ducks for hackers and government spies alike. Billions of people have been affected by data breaches and cyberattacks. On a daily basis, Americans were made to relinquish the most intimate details of who we are—our biological makeup, our genetic blueprints, and our biometrics (facial characteristics and structure, fingerprints, iris scans, etc.)—in order to navigate an increasingly technologically-enabled world. The Department of Homeland Security, which has led the charge to create a Surveillance State, has continued to deploy mandatory facial recognition scans at airports and gather biometric data on American travelers. Police were gifted with new surveillance gadgets. The Corporate State tapped into our computer keyboards, cameras, cell phones and smart devices in order to better target us for advertising. Social media giants such as Facebook granted secret requests by the government and its agents for access to users’ accounts. And our private data—methodically collected and stored with or without our say-so—was repeatedly compromised and breached.

Mass shootings claimed more lives. Mass shootings have taken place at churches, in nightclubs, on college campuses, on military bases, in elementary schools, in government offices, and at concerts. In almost every instance, you can connect the dots back to the military-industrial complex, which continues to dominate, dictate and shape almost every aspect of our lives.

The rich got richer, and the poor went to jail. Not content to expand the police state’s power to search, strip, seize, raid, steal from, arrest and jail Americans for any infraction, no matter how insignificant, the courts continued their practice of jailing individuals who are unable to pay the hefty fines imposed by the American police state. These debtors’ prisons play right into the hands of those who make a profit by jailing Americans.  This is no longer a government “of the people, by the people, for the people.” It is fast becoming a government “of the rich, by the elite, for the corporations,” and its rise to power is predicated on shackling the American taxpayer to a debtors’ prison guarded by a phalanx of politicians, bureaucrats and militarized police with no hope of parole and no chance for escape.

“Show your papers” incidents skyrocketed. We are not supposed to be living in a “show me your papers” society. Despite this, the U.S. government has introduced measures allowing police and other law enforcement officials to stop individuals (citizens and noncitizens alike), demand they identify themselves, and subject them to patdowns, warrantless searches, and interrogations.

Free speech was dealt one knock-out punch after another. Protest laws, free speech zones, bubble zones, trespass zones, anti-bullying legislation, zero tolerance policies, hate crime laws and a host of other legalistic maladies dreamed up by politicians and prosecutors (and championed by those who want to suppress speech with which they might disagree) conspired to corrode our core freedoms, purportedly for our own good. On paper—at least according to the U.S. Constitution—we are technically free to speak. In reality, however, we were only as free to speak as a government official—or corporate entities such as Facebook, Google or YouTube—allowed. The reasons for such censorship varied widely from political correctness, safety concerns and bullying to national security and hate crimes but the end result remained the same: the complete eradication of free speech.

Police became even more militarized and weaponized. Despite concerns about the government’s steady transformation of local police into a standing military army, local police agencies continued to acquire weaponry, training and equipment suited for the battlefield. There are now reportedly more bureaucratic (non-military) government civilians armed with high-tech, deadly weapons than U.S. Marines.

Schools turned into prisons. So-called school “safety” policies, which run the gamut from zero tolerance policies that punish all infractions harshly to surveillance cameras, metal detectors, random searches, drug-sniffing dogs, school-wide lockdowns, active-shooter drills and militarized police officers, turned schools into prisons and young people into prisoners.

The government waged a renewed war on private property. The battle to protect our private property has become the final constitutional frontier, the last holdout against our freedoms being usurped. We no longer have any real property rights. That house you live in, the car you drive, the small (or not so small) acreage of land that has been passed down through your family or that you scrimped and saved to acquire, whatever money you manage to keep in your bank account after the government and its cronies have taken their first and second and third cut…none of it is safe from the government’s greedy grasp. At no point do you ever have any real ownership in anything other than the clothes on your back. Everything else can be seized by the government under one pretext or another (civil asset forfeiture, unpaid taxes, eminent domain, public interest, etc.).

The plight of the nation’s homeless worsened. In communities across the country, legislators adopted a variety of methods (parking meters, zoning regulations, tickets, and even robots) to discourage the homeless from squatting, loitering and panhandling. One of the most common—and least discussed—practices: homeless relocation programs that bus the homeless outside city limits.

The government waged war on military veterans. The government has done a pitiful job of respecting the freedoms of military veterans and caring for their needs once out of uniform. The plight of veterans today is America’s badge of shame, with large numbers of veterans impoverished, unemployed, traumatized mentally and physically, struggling with depression, suicide, and marital stress, homeless, subjected to sub-par treatment at clinics and hospitals, left to molder while their paperwork piles up within Veterans Administration offices, and increasingly treated like criminals— targeted for surveillance, censorship, threatened with incarceration or involuntary commitment, labeled as extremists and/or mentally ill, and stripped of their Second Amendment rights—for daring to speak out against government misconduct.

The Deep State took over. The American system of representative government was overthrown by the Deep State—a.k.a. the police state a.k.a. the military-industrial complex—a profit-driven, militaristic corporate state bent on total control and global domination through the imposition of martial law here at home and by fomenting wars abroad. When in doubt, follow the money trail. It always points the way.

The takeaway: Everything the founders of this country feared has come to dominate in modern America.

As I make clear in my book Battlefield America: The War on the American People and in its fictional counterpart The Erik Blair Diaries, if freedom is to survive at all, “we the people” must refuse to allow the government’s abusive behavior to be our new normal.

There is nothing normal about egregious surveillance, roadside strip searches, police shootings of unarmed citizens, censorship, retaliatory arrests, the criminalization of lawful activities, warmongering, indefinite detentions, SWAT team raids, asset forfeiture, police brutality, profit-driven prisons, or pay-to-play politicians.

Let’s not take the mistakes, carnage, toxicity and abuse of this past year into 2024.

As long as we continue to allow callousness, cruelty, meanness, immorality, ignorance, hatred, intolerance, racism, militarism, materialism, meanness and injustice—magnified by an echo chamber of nasty tweets and government-sanctioned brutality—to trump justice, fairness, and equality, there can be no hope of prevailing against the police state.

The British-backed organization merely appearing to be properly formed as the “United States of America, Incorporated” is busily spreading disinformation about its equally complicit and colluding Municipal Corporation counterpart, doing business as the “United States, Incorporated”.  

There are two sets of phony corporations involved, one British-backed, one Roman Municipal, neither one properly formed as corporations, both operated under conditions of deceit and non-disclosure, both serving foreign masters. 

The Puppetmasters who own both sets of phony corporations use them alternately as “carrot” and as “stick” and then pit their bloated bureaucracies against each other to keep the rubes entertained, much like the annual Army/Navy Football Game. 

It’s all for show and it’s all for fraud.  

There are two sets of equally guilty and obnoxious and self-interested for-profit governmental services organizations, and one set of owners. 

Go figure. 

Once in a while these mentally and morally challenged owners go too far, as in the present instance, and then they are motivated to drum up some kind of smoke and mirrors sideshow to draw attention away from themselves and displace the blame. 

Often this sideshow takes the form of political fisticuffs like the Gladstone v Disraeli debates, or “The American Civil War”, or the September 11th Attack, or most recently, the biowarfare Pandemic.

This really is the day when all who undertand the complicity and know well who planned and executed this operation come together and begin to plan and execute our own. This could be monumental. It’s all coming from big money. All from one house. This could be the revolution our society truly needs to see. Drain the resources from the criminally insane and solve global poverty overnight. No one can wait any longer for any organsation to help. We need take this into hand. Act, stop shouting and ACT. And we need do so immediately. I don’t know what these words mean in your neck of the woods, but they must mean something. We can all do something. If we just sit waiting for it to get better, it’s never going to. We take responsibility and we build the world we want to see or else what is coming is as much our blame as it is rich and titled psychopaths.

It’s all been planned and orchestrated by the international Left, the Democratic Party, and their globalist sycophants in the deep state.

In the U.S. the following applies:
‘The Republicans may not be the answer to all our problems, but the Democrats are the cause of them’

Hi Mark,
In the UK during the C19 fraud, the Conservatives and Labour were voting together.
They are all the same, just corrupt.

We all know Biden is not the US President, the man is not capable to tie his own shoelaces. So who is it? Is it Obama? The man who said on camera if he could have a puppet and serve another term, he would? I think it’s important, no matter how difficult, and it is, not to judge the world today, this corrupted self interested trash can of despair and hopelessness. Rather, it’s important to see what is taking place clearly and to understand that there is something wrong with all of us. We all have supported this inherent rot of authority. An authority which assures us our interests are paramount as it does what it likes against our lives. We all have sought to ‘succeed’ in life, if anything, the mosts successful today should be the loudest alarm bell ever to ring that this approach to life of competition, division and self interest is the largest thing to see as not sustainable. The Kings, Billionaires, nobility, bankers, Politicians, organisations, these are what are unsustainable. We are each of us divided from one another. The repulsive division of immense wealth held by psychological neurotics telling us how the world need be designed in their sick image. The division of class and politics and ideologies and religious beliefs. Division brings conflict and our world is one of conflict at every level. Until we understand division and cease to divide behind flags, ‘wealth’ and belief, we are a cursed race. Until we learn what it means to value the life of every member of our race to the same level of importance as we value our own, we will continue down the path of insanity we are being led towards today. Humanity has potential to be an unstoppable force, if we could only relate to one another and cease acting divisively. If we used the same resources today wasted by those so rich in numbers and so poor in intelligent action. Are we a cursed race? We sacrifice the whole for the benefit of the part.
