I'll make this short and sweet. There is a criticism that the dKos community jumped the shark about the DHS coordinating with local municipalities over the #Occupy raids and crackdowns.
Security cameras on every corner and intersection, in hallways and stock rooms, on doorways and bridges; check. Cookies in our devices that track our literal movements, buying habits and keystrokes; check. Credit enquiries and pissing in a jar to flip a burger; check. Body and cavity searches to fly to Topeka; check. Militarized police forces; check. COINTELPRO resurrected as the DHS; check. DHS charter from its inception to coordinate with local municipalities for urban war games and suppression of domestic uprisings; check. Big City mayor of a city in organized readiness with the DHS recorded admitting a conference call about coordination with other Big City Mayors of cities in organized readiness with the DHS to suppress a current uprising; check.
DHS coordinating with mayors and governors to crackdown on the #Occupy Movement? Why, that's a bridge too far.
Why the Department of Homeland Security is not recognized as the neo-Gestapo, is beyond me. They are nothing but jack-booted, syncophants doing the job of their masters; not of the POTUS, not of the Constitution or of the people of the United States. The DHS is doing the job of their true masters; the neo-Robber Barons. But I know, I know. The evidence of that is flimsy.
