Crime — The Means to Control

Last week I wrote about how crime is up even though our elected officials say it is down. Why the disconnect? Well, this is election season and the folks in charge want you to believe everything they’ve been doing has reduced crime and made you safer. It’s also a sell job to get you to believe more of the same thing will bring crime down even further. Naturally, it’s all a lie. Crime is skyrocketing and people are being victimized like never before. And what’s worse, it’s all part of the plan to implement tighter controls on YOU.

The strategy is playing out across the nation. Activist billionaire funded prosecutors are elected in ultra-liberal enclaves promising to reform the systematically racist and unfair criminal justice system. What they do instead is immediately publish lengthy lists of crimes they will refuse to prosecute, ignoring state and local laws and the will of the people and legislatures who created them.

Police are defunded and new laws and restrictions placed on them so they cannot do their jobs. No bail laws are created because the current system is racist and unfair, and anyone who does happen to get arrested is back out on the street within hours. Those who do make it into the court system are given slap-on-the-wrist sentences and returned to the streets. Those already in the jail/prison system are released early because of new, more lenient sentencing reforms. Prisons are closed and the overall capacity of the system goes down, further justifying the need to release prisoners early.

Is all of this sounding familiar?

What happens in the cities, towns and neighborhoods is not only inevitable, but predictable. Crime surges. Businesses and the local citizenry are understandably angry and frighted. They demand protection from the government. The government responds with the same answer they’ve always given, more government control.

Let’s head back to San Francisco for an example. Rampant crime and unsafe streets have caused an exodus of large and small businesses. The government must look like they’re doing something to fight the influx of retail crime. The solution? 400 automated license plate reader (ALPR) cameras placed around the city.

Yup, that’s right, the ultra-left population celebrated the introduction of voter approved, government expedited video cameras around the city as a measure to stop the wave of organized retail theft plaguing the city.

Of course, these cameras don’t just capture those involved in retail theft. They vacuum up every single car (and everything else) that passes by them. You going to the store? Logged. You going to work? Logged. You taking the kids to school? Logged. You heading into or out of the city? Logged. 24/7. Retained for as long as the city wants to.

If you’re thinking it’s a little 1984/China Social Credit System, you’re right. Every movement is captured for later analysis. And with artificial intelligence (AI) becoming more common place, it’s even easier.

Perhaps a comment from Larry Ellison, co-founder of Oracle and sixth richest man in the world, will help to understand where this is heading. He recently shared his thoughts on the future of AI-powered surveillance tools.

“.. Citizens will be on their best behavior because we are constantly recording and reporting everything that’s going on.”

What you are witnessing is a problem intentionally created by the government so the people, desperate for safety, would accept the solution they offer, even though it will be used to infringe on their rights and more tightly control them.

For those of us interested in Second Amendment rights, we already know this strategy. I’ve written before that there is no gun control without dead children (Sacrificing Our Children — https://oddstuffing.com/archives/973). As disgusting as this is, anti-gun extremists are more than willing to sacrifice our children to obtain the greater goal of gun control and civilian disarmament.

The tactics are clear. Remove police officers from schools for alleged ‘explicit and implicit racism’ and an imagined ‘school-to-prison’ pipeline. Ban schools from arming teachers and staff. Ban any civilian from carrying a firearm on any school property. This leaves the unarmed and undefended schools as soft and appealing targets for deranged would-be killers. After someone takes advantage of this, they jump on the bandwagon before the children’s bodies are cold and the injured have stopped bleeding and call for the one solution, the ONLY solution they have, more gun control.

Remember, gun control does absolutely nothing to increase public safety and the answer to fix that shortcoming is always to implement more gun control.

Increasing crime, especially violent crime, only helps to implement more restrictive gun control laws on the victims. None of their so-called “solutions” ever impact the perpetrators, the ones actually committing the crimes. They must be free to commit more crime to help implement more gun control.

Yes, your vote this year matters.
