Patriots pursue "solutions" that are good for nothing but wasting time, as the ever-encroaching police state widens, and government takes away more of our freedoms. Britain now is introducing new restrictions on "extremist activities". These initiatives are meant to crush dissent by shutting down freedoms of speech, assembly, broadcasting, and free use of the Internet. The British government is moving toward making illegal, organizations and individuals that they say are not consistent with "British values". We hear Home Secretary, Theresa May, as she attempts to defend the new policies, while repeatedly dodging the question of how extremism will be defined, and where and when is the line crossed? Why should Americans care what happens in Britain? The United States is following behind Britain's lead, as terrorism is being used as an excuse to clamp down on every freedom that we've taken for granted. We hear from the organizer of the Jade Helm 15 exercise, Commander Thomas Mead, who reveals details of what they are planning. Jade Helm will incorporate and enlist the aid of civilians and their property. Is this the civilian national police force of which Obama spoke? Is there a link between Jade Helm and the recent riots in Baltimore and Ferguson, Missouri? How does Community-Oriented Policing Services (COPS) fit into the equation? Also, we have a global warming heads up, the EPA embarks upon yet another power grab, legislation to restrict the U.S. Department of the Interior with regard to the Endangered Species Act.
