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.
