I am asking myself the same question. This weaponization of our governmental agencies is troubling, particularly when view by the apparent assault on our individual rights.
The most noticeable rights under attack are covered in the 1st and 2nd Amendments. It is almost to be expected given the over 40 years of the increased influence of liberal progressive policies in the various areas of American life, like education, housing, welfare, etc. The history now being taught in our schools bears no resemblance to what I was exposed to in the turbulent 1960's. At least when I was in school even the most liberal teacher tried to be fair and balanced in the discussions of historical events and "entertained" & "explained" alternative views. But then the goal of teaching was to develop independent thinkers instead of political indoctrination.
So I have to ask again, just who are these federal agencies expecting to fight? What is the political, social and even legal rational for them to amass weapons and ammunition caches? Why do they need agents with arrest authority?
No, to me, this is all a case of government run amok and becoming out of control by "We The People" and it is now more than ever "time to drain the swamp." SGM Matthew Quick COL (Join to see) MAJ (Join to see) CPT Aaron Kletzing PFC Kyle Corcoran LTC (Join to see)

We demand public safety and then bitch when it has to be financed. This spending for weapons is not a liberal vs conservative issue. Much of the money required by these various agencies came under Bush II after 9-11 when those agencies were tasked with missions not usually associated with them.
We also have had the drastic increase in mass shootings, requiring even more protection.
I can agree with the idea that our governments spend more than seems necessary. But I do not for one minute believe there is some vast conspiracy to subdue the populous and move toward a dictatorship.
By the way, if you believe our 1st Amendment rights are being threatened, you are correct. By Trump!

Explain to me why you feel that is so, on google, twitter, tumblr, youtube, and facebook if there is censoring being done it is to the more conservative posters, but please explain to me with cited sources why you feel this way.

1. I don't follow any of those sites, so I cannot make an educated comment on anything that happens there.
2. Trump is the one that is constantly complaining about the media, going so far as threatening to revoke their FCC license. That is suppression of the free press. The 1st Amendment guarantees a free press.

MSG Stan Hutchison - An FCC licence is not a constitutional right, there are obligations and responsibilities on each licence that is issued, but on the topic of media bias and free press, I wonder why the story of Hillary Clinton and Russian uranium sales has gotten almost no coverage. I mean it is not like we had a cold war on the subject of nuclear materials with Russian at anytime in the recent past.
I hate to tell you this if you don't already know the cycle, but Media is a business, and unfortunately one of the major products that sells today is confirmation bias to people in political cults.
But if you choose to remain uneducated on the topic...well you will make a good citizen in the new world order I guess if we are going to go all 1984 about it.

Perhaps an FCC license is not a constitutional right, but freedom of the press certainly is. When Trump threatens the free press he is threating all of us.
And, if you wish to conduct a discussion with me, please leave out the personal comments. I am very well educated on our system, our Constitution, our history, and what is currently ongoing in the media, on both sides.
