The Modern Day Gestapo (Part 4)- by Moses

      Accountability.  A dangerous word to throw around loosely.  Accountable to who?  Whose right to know?  Personally in my domicile I'm accountable to myself and myself only.  The current Canadian and American trends are to hold the individual civilian population accountable to the authorities whether that be to the police, to a psycho-therapist, or a mentor at all times, when there is no need to do so (unless criminal activity has occurred).  This trend gets confusing when most of the population has no idea what their constitutional rights are when pertaining to the police obstruction to our freedoms as our educational system has too much bias towards a police state .  When someone comes to me to lecture me on how to live my life, I remind them that it's my life to lead.  If someone, police included, can't accept how I lead my life I laugh.  Who are they to judge?  What's truly hysterical is that in court rooms across Canada today, a Judge in a courtroom demands that the defendant (upon sentencing) must Worship the Crown.  Didn't 'Your Honour' carry enough weight or are we just cattle being led in for slaughter.  
  When Mussolini launched the secret police he was evoking fear among Italy's Jewish population.  Many Jews were taken in and were regularly beaten for being Orthodox Jews.  In Canada today there are unmarked task force vehicles with 5-6 cops inside driving around our communities.  Is that really what Canada is about?  This practice is totally invasive to someone getting picked up and beaten because they were intoxicated or perhaps they fit the stereotype of being Jewish, Muslim, Native, or Black Peoples.

The Modern Day Gestapo - by Moses

  What we're dealing with in 2019 in North America is paramount to the techniques established by Mussolini in Italy.  A new Gestapo designed to map out ultimate truth, condoned by the Vatican and Russian Orthodox.  This never really ended (the Gestapo that is).  We're looking at the authorities having access to anyone's personal information upon their request.  The average Canadian has a Passport, Birth Certificate, Age of Majority Card, Health Card, and Driver's Licence.  How much accountability do we actually need for the authorities to do their jobs properly?  Couldn't we just need the 'cops' when an actual crime has been committed?  Versus the current inner city depravity that leads the 'cops' to interrogate people on no just cause.  This is really just leading people to be paranoid that someone's got their number.  Personally I don't care.  I stopped caring 5-6 years ago on the adage 'life is innate'.  What worries me is when task force vans that are unmarked housing a team of 5-6 'cops' inside, drive our streets unnoticed to the people.  How much unlimited power do we want to give to give the authorities?
