The local police in the United States are now connected to the Pentagon…for those of you who don’t know, the Pentagon is where the Department of Defense is located, what used to be known more honestly as the War Department.
What this means is that, officially, the US government has now designated the domestic population as enemy combatants. The police will be equipped with billions of dollars worth of war technology, as used by the US military in Iraq and Afghanistan.
The Department of Homeland Security is now formally in charge of managing military occupation of the United States.
