Sometimes we get focused in on the details of a specific event(s) and fail to step back to see the larger context which may be allowing, or in some cases encouraging these events. If we take the recent contagion of police brutality and abuse of the very citizens and the constitution they are sworn to protect, we can blame this on thuggery, racism, low IQ, criminality, lack of training, etc. but these would all be what I call ‘proximate causes’ or in other words local to the specific event. If you think about it, we have always had these elements in our local police and in fact in the general population. What generation has not had thugs, racism, imbeciles, criminality, poor training, etc.? Something has changed systemically on a massive scale; tectonic plates have moved and I don’t believe it is helpful to focus in on the easy proximate causative factors described above since we are witnessing a systemic problem on the increase. We must step back and look at the larger context to see what may have set this all in motion.

What we know is that our own DHS has purchased enough ammo to fight a red-hot war in Iraq for decades; only this ammo is to be used here at home, not in some distant war.

What we know is that our own DHS purchased paper targets to practice shooting some of these bullets, which depicted not Middle Eastern terrorists, but average American citizens like an old man, pregnant woman and a boy.

We know that the Federal Government is providing military-grade equipment at low or zero cost to local law enforcement all across this nation. Why? For what purpose?

What we know is that the military are planning the largest domestic military exercise in the history of this country (integrating and working with local law enforcement), and none of the authorities are asking why this is necessary and why just now? What is the expense? Is it justified? What are we training for?

Massive changes have already taken place and it looks like more are on the way. If we get distracted by the proximate causative factors and neglect looking at the larger picture, we will never know what hit us and from whence it came.
