Cops penetrate churches and turn them into snitch operations for the national security state

The Hanover County, Virginia, Sheriff has rolled out a surveillance and snitch program based inside local churches.

The mission of the program, according to a post on the Hanover County web page, is to “reduce crime and the fear of crime in houses of worship and areas frequented by the faith community as well as provide for emergency preparedness partnership initiatives. We provide education and partnership opportunities to our faith community in an effort to recognize crime risks, train them to accurately report crimes, and be better prepared in the event of an emergency.”

As we have previously noted, emergency preparedness has operated as a cover for federal penetration of state and local law enforcement since the presidency of Ronald Reagan under Executive Order 12656, but really took off after the 9/11 terror attacks.

Laws passed since the 9/11 attacks, including the Patriot Act, the John Warner Defense Authorization Act of 2007, and the Military Commissions Act, are designed to compliment and enhance continuity of government operations more tightly focused on responding to internal dissent and threats to the status quo than maintaining government cohesion after a nuclear attack.

As the Department of Defense has stressed, crime and terrorism are now inseparable.

Secret police and undercover agents in CHURCH??? is there THAT much crime in churches?? REALLY??
Or is it just all part of the anywhere, any place, and anytime total surveillance package the Nazi's want to implement?
Even Orwell would be stunned at what "we, the people" have allowed to happen because we have been so thoroughly convinced that around every corner (and pew) is a murderous terrorist.
Soon, everyone will be so afraid of everything, we will all be automatically qualified to be a cop. And since they can't hit the broad side of a barn with less than a hundred rounds, no gun training will be necessary.
