Governor Orders Troops to Shoot and Kill Looters, NSA spied on hundreds of Americans abroad and their loved ones back home

I must be hallucinating, because it looks to me like the US government has ordered our military troops to perform summary executions of US citizens for.... theft. The troop is now the judge, jury, and executioner for US citizens.

And now for the first time an active duty military unit has been deployed in the United States, ready to bravely kill US citizens who don't behave in an orderly fashion in the aftermath of a catastrophic event.

What exactly is it going to take for people to realize what's going on here?

This is how our government handles federal crises. Instead of preparing for responding effectively to disasters and serving/protecting its citizens it has chosen to deploy our own military against us. I'm sure they've set up special care-bear training to handle us differently than everyone else. Maybe they'll use group hugs and care-bear stares to deter you when you're found breaking into the abandoned store to get some food eh?

Not surprisingly, the recent revelation that the NSA had invaded the privacy of hundreds of Americans abroad and their loved ones back home generated a public outcry. Two former military intercept operators recounted their eavesdropping experiences on ABC News — recalling that they and their colleagues had regularly listened to, traded, and joked about American citizens’ personal and often highly intimate conversations. They revealed that the NSA engaged in invasive, unnecessary, and dragnet monitoring of innocent Americans, including soldiers, journalists, and aid workers with groups like the International Red Cross and Doctors Without Borders. (We’re demanding that the NSA turn over policies and procedures for how the NSA collects, stores, and disseminates Americans’ private communications.)
