A rocket fired into a seemingly crowded city neighborhood?
Cover up
If you accept drone strikes of civilians in other countries, don't be surprised if eventually they hover over you
Think that's impossible?
It's predicted in any moral principles
That what you don't want others to do you you.....
But, you allowed it all for way too long
Defend laws and norms and moral guidance or you have nothing
Think of it
Not only politics is upstream from culture, but laws
And they normalize perversion, corruption, lies, fear, division, incompetence and treason
Do not give into silencing and intimidation. Defend your rights, your freedoms.
But, AS ALWAYS and that's how you can tell I'm neither a Fed nor inside nor outside agitator):
1. Do it legally
2. Do it with such moral superiority that just by standing against you they reveal who and what they are. Like in boxing, LET THEM GO FOR YOU, but you have it planned out.. take the initiative in the legal, moral and just common sense arena
3. Ridicule them once they have tripped. But not too much either, those who really did this should immediately be arrested. Citizen arrests where legal. Go get deputized!
And watch what they do
Monitor their every move, because they monitor you too
If the government fears the people there's freedom, if it's the other way around and you fear the government, that's tyranny
And I'm not even calling for them to fear you. But they mustn't be above laws either. No one. Not me. Not you. Not them.
Good luck & god speed
