“then the thugs assist as decent people should, that’s how it should be done.”

LOL.. (picturing myself shouting, “hey i need some assistance, can i get a thug over here please?”, hehe..

agreed w/ Bob that they’d do it for free; i’ll do you one better: i think they’d PAY for the priviledge, for privilidge is exactly what they’re exercising.

spent the last couple days digesting this great article, entitled “The Myth of the Rule of Law” by a Georgetown law prof deconstructing the myth and explaining why we buy into it, how we are persuaded to do so, and why we’ll be forever saddled with this sort of outrage until we wake up from the delusion.

Better question if they were that worried about the gas, why in the world did they enter the house. All gas shutoffs are outside of the house. I responsible emergency worker might be worried about gas in a situation like this, but such a responsible emergency worker would know you don’t enter a house that possibly has gas leaking into it except to rescue people. No live people you shut the gas off outside of the house and wait for it to vent. Now even if the house is closed up it will vent pretty shortly, but breaking a window or two might be in order to speed the process. But you have no reason to enter the house.

I read the strike team link and the “rules” . I’ll say one thing. If some police or fireperson thinks they are goig to enter my home, disaster or no disaster, without my permission or me present, they better draw their weapons before I draw mine.
I saw one MAN in the recent reports, but they got his red pickup truck stopped, broke his window, and yanked him out arrested him.
I seriously do not know how people put up with it. I guess most of the population is so scared of water and mud or debris they thank the thugs for “saving their lives” after they break down their front doors or prying open a window jam and pile in, for their secret search and grab and “I’m the only person who can smell natural gas” arrogant stupidity.
If you live in a residence and cannot shut off your own gas and electric, and check for damage yourself, maybe you shouldn’t be free.
We’ve become a society that demands EVERYONE be a helpless, incompetent victim of their own stupidity, unable to take a tiny risk that “only the local trained thugs” can.
If you notice, we don’t hear about endless injuries and deaths from the “frontline thugs”.
They should have the decency to WORK WITH the citizens – with them PRESENT if they so desire – that of course would be EXCELLENT community relations and “relationship building” – but we see what that means to the out of control power freak thugs- not a thing.
People want to go in, they simply sign a waiver, then the thugs assist as decent people should, that’s how it should be done.
” ohhh, we can’t have that! we’d be hindered…”
Yes, a million endless excuses, it’s all the people’s fault, only the tyrranists are capable.
Boy am I sick of it.
Keep your thug paws off and out of my fellow Amricans homes and property until and only IF they issue a request and agree with assistance.
Steal from everyone at the airports, steal into their under cover of walled keep out thug enforced lines…
Not here bubba, not ever.

I can understand a stray officer or two, but what really bugs me is they turn out to be lifelong veterans of the force, and when seemingly a three year old can figure our mr officer friendly is a bad man and did a bad bad thing (no doubt for the hundreth time – just got caught this time), the police chief shows up on TV, delcares all their men and women completely and utterly innocent, and then we hear the insane rabble screeding about lives on the line every moment of every day, the endless spew piles up from LA to DC, shrieking support for the criminal in the blue uniform, and the press mostly pretends it doesn’t know what the truth is, and could get to it if that secret internal investigation wasn’t going on…
The real clincher is the Police Chief appearing and excusing the absolutely stark raving madman conduct that is all over youtube and present but friendly censored on the nightly news, while he dreams up some ridiculous accusation for the beaten and bleeding victim.
Then we have the endless station beating videos, and the bully thug in blue street cop, who acts like a gang banger, if you don’t immediately “obey the command” or dare flinch, or “have an attitude”, or make some sort of motion that is instantly interpreted as ” a felony attempted assault on an officer of the law “.
Youtube and the internet combined with commonplace digital camera/phone vid is the worst thing that could have happened to the entrenched thug police culture.
Smaller towns and cities aren’t that bad yet, but the major 100 or 200 cities are a big mess.
It seems jumping to takedown and zapping and beating while screaming is standard operating procedure, they all do it like that, I’ve seen ‘em in Europe on the youtube – seems it’s a western or maybe global equivalence training.
Saw a stadium crown intervene in a cop administered skull crushing beating they were delivering to a fan who had run across the field with a flag, too. The opposing team and crowd watched for a few – but couldn’t let them crush the kids skull and break his neck or back with the billy clubs and knees – the stadium piled out to rescue the poor fan, and the cops fled the field. One of ‘em didn’t make it, he was hit and kicked unconscious – before some of the fans put an end to that as well.
Sure taught me something. It’s gone so far, and they feel so justified in these beatings we see on the internet, that they’ell do it in full view of a filled stadium…
AND THE PEOPLE DID RISE UP AND SAY “NO WAY!”
Yeah, it’s gone too far. That’s why busting in doors and banning people from their own property by show of force edict and making haphazard condemning purple sticker guesses is one of their favorite pasttimes. Bust open the doors in the name of security, creep in wondows and flop in before you announce who you are and not even have the sanity to think the resident might react and consider you a breaking in thug in the “dangerous” area you’re supposed to be protecting…
If a resident shoots you as you flop unannounced in their window or break open their front door and be 5 steps in before your yapper opens and says “police fire and rescue”, and blows your noggin off, will you thank them for remaining safe before you croak, or will it “assualt on a criminal in blue”, again ?
It’s really, really sick.
They NEED to be put back in their place, they need to know who they work for, and what they are supposed to be doing, which is assisting, not becoming tyrannous idiots making every matter they show up for worse than it was before they got there.

Citizens best be forewarned, all over this great country America is witnessing a WAR ON PRIVACY and an attack on The Bill of Rights by a FEW Fascist elements that work night and day to undermine the few protections Americans have left.

They will take advantage of ANY situation they can to detroy what little Liberty is left in America, they have their Orwellian stooges in BOTH parties, they have NO allegiance to America, they serve a GLOBALIST agenda that sets an ELITIST FEW above ALL the rest of the world’s citizens. I fully suggest if there are any citizens not familiar with the term FALSE FLAG, that they learn what that term means pronto, these Orwellians are NOT above creating their own problems and then using that to further their Liberty hating agenda.

LONG LIVE THE REPUBLIC and those proud American Patriots that fully support her and The Bill of Rights!!!

EL CID:

I do wonder why they thought that they needed to do this. It would have been interesting to see what would have happened if they broke into a house to “survey it” and had it fall in on them and kill them. I can see a number agencies which would have then tried to sue the home owner. Don’t think it couldn’t happen. I worked the recent floods (three days eight hours sleep :-( ) We had a lady who had to be rescued because someone let her into her house, and she was literally jumping up and down for joy that it was not damaged and that caused it to fall in on her.

I can see police or fire being able to tell that a house is toast, that is unsafe. But they could do that from the outside better than from the inside. I could maybe see some kind of a “this one didn’t get flooded so is OK” thing. But once again this would be best done from the outside. Other than that I tend to agree with you that in most cases determining safe as compared to unsafe would take someone who is trained as an engineer, which I am, and with serious construction experience, which I don’t really have (one summer as a heavy equipment operator doesn’t count ;-) ). Even then there will be issues of not catching unsafe conditions.

This would lead one to believe that you are dealing with some kind of a pretext search. Want to bet they wanted to search one house really really bad, and had for several years, and now they figured by “surveying” all of them they could “accidentally” search this house.

What qualifies the Police and Fire Dept. to access the condition of a home or building? I have been a contractor for 15years and I won’t give you that opinion. I would consider someone who is a Civil Engineer, Architectual engineer or Structural engineer for crying out loud even an army corps engineer to do this work. These guys were there to do one thing create fear, and sweep the homes for contraband (ie…guns, gold or anything they could get thier hands on). Wake up America this is conditioning your mind for more of the same.

This is outrageous, the “checkpoints” and the breaking and entering by the police. These are practices straight out of Nazi Germany. I’ll be damned if I will let this happen in my country.

Does seem to be your normal I am more important than everyone else type cop.

I have done a lot of response work and worked incident command at all levels. I find that in any activity where you don’t get to wave a gun around cops are pretty much useless. The sad thing is that the Feds are even worse. I find that the volunteer cops like the sheriff’s posse to have a least one level of professionalism higher than the paid officers.

Once where I was incident command I ordered one to move his car or I wold have it moved and he threatened to shoot me if I tried. I did point out his chances of survival if he tried that in front of the about 15 armed posse members present. The only reason he was there was that he had heard an Arab name in the context of a hazmat incident. Guess what the Arab last named truck driver was native born and born again ;-) The hazmat was the fuel tanks in conjunction with the cargo both of which were leaking. They were leaking because some idiot gave his college graduate dean’s lister a corvette for this accomplishment. The fed was sure that this Arab and hazmat connection made it a crime scene under his control.

Great article Mike, no error in your IO. :)

I’ve cross posted that video quite a few places to help spread the word.

Thanks, Acua Pie, yes I think you mean HAARP (in Gakona Alaska, one of MANY “ionispheric heaters” located worldwide. What the world’s citizens are now witnessing are problems being INTENTIONALLY created with the use of stealth technology (not really all that stealthy as regards this BLATANT weather engineering) that the “controllers” can use to carry out their social/economic/political engineering, while hiding behind a cover of plausible deniability (acts of god,etc). Pretty sadistic IMO but they appear to believe that murder and destruction and disease and economic warfare (and yes flooding people out of their homes) is all well and good if it gives them even MORE control and aids their dreams of totalitarianism. So MANY citizens are awakening to this madness though,and I hope the good citzens of flooded Iowa will take the time as you suggest to become informed (chemtrailcentral is a good place to start) about these efforts. They are quite real (beware the conmen out there defending by denial this lunacy) and quite destructive and often deadly, and it’s time WE The People push back and drive these killers and destroyers back into the sewer from which they oozed out of.

When did the government start using police officers and firefighters as engineers? I would think that if the government needs to inspect these homes they would use experts, not thugs.
