Becky Akers has a good article on the new ABC show "Homeland Security USA." One would think that such obvious propaganda would be rejected by an ostensibly free society, but this is probably wishful thinking. An excerpt,
Americans will recognize its format from such kindred obscenity as "COPS": armed bruisers in cruisers whaling on smaller men, women, and kids; ordering supposedly free people about as if they are slaves; laughing at the suffering of their victims. Why Our Rulers’ documented abuse hasn’t provoked a mass uprising remains among the most baffling and mortifying mysteries of our day. Instead, "COPS" is "long-running" and "critically acclaimed." "Acclaim" is about what I’d expect from the general run of idiots masquerading as critics; what’s sobering is that over 6 million "viewers" watch Our Masters hammer their fellow serfs into submission. And apparently relish the hammering since they’ve tuned in for "20 seasons and over 700 episodes." It seems that when the government claims a man has bought or sold an illegal drug, Americans not only devoutly believe that allegation, they also agree that he thereby deserves all the indignities and beatings Leviathan’s legionnaires care to dish out. This is barbarous taste in entertainment, one shared with the ancient Romans. They, too, enjoyed watching the State’s beasts tear "illegal and dangerous" Christians to shreds.
I watched portions of this blather last night...it cant last long. Tho if they continue to spend 25% of the show on young Swiss belly dancers that want to "work" in the US, it might be worthy of the DVR.. ;) What a joke...the content of that segment alone should change the focus on the show from serious DHS work to humorous dealings with border entries...
The saddest part was to see on three different occasions, CBP agents come up empty handed after harrassing a "suspect" and stating "well unfortunately we didn't find anything illegal".
It just seems like they shouldn't act visibly disappointed that they were unable to charge someone with a crime....i know i know..wtf am i thinking...
