"There was, of course, no way of knowing whether you were being watched at any given moment." --- George Orwell, "1984" alt (b.1903-d.1950 CE/AD) & Read More Quotes
A new $1 million dollar program led by Palm Beach County Sheriff Ric Bradshaw aimed at "violence prevention" is encouraging Floridians to report their neighbors for making hateful comments about the government, a chilling reminder of how dissent is being characterized as an extremist threat.
"Bradshaw plans to use the extra $1 million to launch 'prevention intervention' units featuring specially trained deputies, mental health professionals and caseworkers. The teams will respond to citizen phone calls to a 24-hour hotline with a knock on the door and a referral to services, if needed," reports the Palm Beach Post.
Bradshaw makes it clear that the kind of behavior which could prompt a visit from the authorities includes anti-government political statements that may be deemed a prelude to violent action.
"We want people to call us if the guy down the street says he hates the government, hates the mayor and he's gonna shoot him," Bradshaw said. "What does it hurt to have somebody knock on a door and ask, 'Hey, is everything OK?'"
"The program will also include 'public service announcements' (PSA) to encourage local citizens to report their neighbors," reports the newspaper.

"Doug Giles and his team over at ClashDaily.com cut through the crap to expose what have become modern day human slaughter houses: gun free zones. Their candid arguments about allowing teachers to protect themselves and the students in their care through concealed carry should be taken seriously. As a result maybe, just maybe, we?ll be able to save some lives someday rather than call the cops to report the body count." - Katie Pavlich.

"At what point then is the approach of danger to be expected? I answer, If it ever reach us it must spring up among us, it cannot come from abroad. If destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of freemen we must live through all time or die of suicide." -- Abraham Lincoln, Springfield, Illinois, Jan. 1837
