Occupation Forces

3. A Government that Believes in Occupation as a Policy is a Danger to its Citizens

The US Government clearly believes in the concept of occupation, as it is actually increasing the number of countries where it has troops in occupation.

In addition, in the last decade, the US has been dramatically ramping up its preparedness for war at home.Not since World War II has the US spent so much money building tanks, buying bullets, and training troops to get ready for a major conflict.

However, this time, it is not for a war overseas, but at home. The armaments are being deployed to localised law enforcement departments and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), which is chargedsolely with domestic enforcement. Similarly, the training of police officers and other authorities has changed dramatically from the traditional “Protect and Serve” policy to one of riot control and combatting “domestic terrorism.”

Billions are being spent on this effort, and of the three downsides to occupation, this is the one that should concern American citizens most greatly, as, for the first time since 1865, the American continent itself is planned to be the occupied territory.

Indeed, under the National Defense Authorization Act, passed in 2011, the US was declared a “battlefield,” a legal term that allows a government to suspend habeas corpus and to authorise any authorities to act toward the people of the country as “enemy combatants,” should they suspect for any reason that this might be so.
