"Tyranny is defined as that which is legal for the government but illegal for the citizenry." - Thomas Jefferson.

Antimedia is reporting that police worldwide are quietly preparing for increased rioting.

Countries such as the U.S., Iran, Egypt, Russia, China, and Thailand have started procuring riot control equipment and are investing heavily in [non-lethal weapons]. Moreover, special vehicles that are equipped with water cannon and reservoirs have been designed for security personnel, for use in areas of conflict to handle large crowds and demonstration. Demand for such equipment is expected to rise during the next few years.”

Note the last sentence in its truncated time frame.

Specifically, the analysts continue:

“In North America, the prominent markets are Canada and the U.S. and law enforcement agencies in these nations are best equipped with the upgraded weapons. The militarization of the police department and other law enforcement agencies in the Americas has encouraged the use of advanced riot control equipment.”

The Supreme Court commits treason in their ruling on Citizen United, as they did before when they gave corporations personhood, as they did before when they ruled money is speech. Meanwhile, the 1% is arming their enforcers to the hilt to deny us our constitutionally guaranteed free speech. Face it people,the Constitution is no longer worth the paper it is written on.

This is becoming war. And the stakes couldn't be higher:

Rolling Stone:

If emissions aren't cut, "We conclude that multi-meter sea-level rise would become practically unavoidable. Social disruption and economic consequences of such large sea-level rise could be devastating. It is not difficult to imagine that conflicts arising from forced migrations and economic collapse might make the planet ungovernable, threatening the fabric of civilization."

The National Wildlife Federation:

New science published after the IPCC report has shown how global warming is happening faster than anticipated. Sea-level rise may be accelerating, Arctic sea ice is rapidly melting, and forests are being transformed.

Sea-level Rise Rates Larger Than Previously Projected

Sea-level rise as a consequence of global warming is a foregone conclusion. It only remains to be seen how much and how quickly. The 2007 IPCC report projected global average sea-level rise of 7 to 23 inches by the 2090s. This calculation did not take into account compelling new evidence of recent rapid melting in Greenland and Antarctica, that if continued could lead to sea-level rise of 5 or 6 feet this century (Read New Science Demonstrates Need for Aggressive Cap on Carbon Pollution ). That much sea-level rise would cause havoc for coastal communities and ecosystems, especially as population and development in coastal regions continue to grow.

The Guardian:

Climate change projections have vastly underestimated the role that clouds play, meaning future warming could be far worse than is currently projected, according to new research.

Researchers said that a doubling of carbon dioxide in the Earth’s atmosphere compared with pre-industrial times could result in a global temperature increase of up to 5.3C – far warmer than the 4.6C older models predict.

And now we learn that:

“I have cried. I have broken down in front of cameras. This is the most devastating, gut-wrenching fuck up,” says Marshall, of the University of Queensland.

Back in November, researchers and staff on the Australian Museum’s Lizard Island Research Station started to see the early signs of coral bleaching – faded colours, odd fluorescent hues and chunks of white.

The Great Barrier Reef, of which Loomis is just one of 3,000 reefs, is in the death throes of its worst ever coral bleaching event – part of the third global mass bleaching since 1998.

And are the 1%ers doing anything to prevent this disaster? You know, like making cars that are more environmentally friendly as I pointed out some high school kids could do 8 years ago? No, with the extinction of the human race at stake, they're getting ready to pull their typical nazi thuggery.

All of which begs the question:

What they can do to us, we can do to them. Anything else is simply tyranny. Because in the end, you have a choice: Get in the train and go to the ovens or fight back.
