The Founding Fathers wouldn’t recognize America today. The God-given
freedoms they championed in the Bill of Rights have been chipped away
over the years by an ever-intrusive government bent on controlling all
aspects of our lives in the name of safety and security. NSA
wire-tapping and data collection is Orwellian in its scope. The TSA,
BLM, and IRS are all jockeying for control of our lives. Warrantless
searches are on the rise and even encouraged in some communities. Free
speech, the right to bear arms, private property, and freedom of
religion all are under attack. The Constitution has been tossed on the
same trash pile as the Bible.
From traffic light cameras
to phone tapping, from militarized police forces to targeting specific
groups of people, the government is unfettered in its desire to control
the American people. Police State USA chronicles how America
got to the point of being a de facto police state and what led to an
out-of-control government that increasingly ignores the constitution and
exploits 9/11 security fears to justify spying on its citizens.
Stunning new surveillance technology makes it easier to keep tabs on the
people. The acquisition by police departments of major battlefield
equipment emboldens officials to strong-arm those they should be
protecting. The failure of the news media to uphold the rights of
citizens sets the stage for this slippery slope. Police State USA tells how we might overcome and recapture our freedoms, as envisioned by the Founding Fathers.
