State Troopers Crack Down on Anti-Fracking Activists

http://www.npr.org/2015/03/01/389598765/fracking-opponents-feel-police-pressure-in-some-drilling-hotspots It seems to me that now of days the state troopers have become more like storm troopers. Whatever happened to free expression, and the right to petition for a redress of grievances? These civil liberties used to be able to be taken for granted as being protected under our constitutional republic. But now, as I've posted before in this blog, our freedom, and privacy is increasingly being eroded by the surveillance state, which has been established under both the P.A.T.R.I.O.T. act, and the NDAA. In the supposed interests of suppressing insurgents, and or militant groups, the government is infringing upon the lawful power to peaceably dissent. I am concerned that another civil war might erupt, if things continue to transpire as they have been. But I contend that when in the course of human events the political powers that be infringe upon the just powers of we the people to stand up for what we deem to be our rightful common good, and personal freedom, then the right to revolution is justified. For as our late president, John F. Kennedy stated, "Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable." https://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/quotes/j/johnfkenn101159.html If the state persists in making concerned citizens out to be terrorists, it may come to find that their concern will turn into a self fulfilled prophecy. We must not be eager to enter into sedition lightly. However we must also be ever vigilant in defending our land, and our liberty from oppressive authority. Preferablely by peaceacle means, and if necessary by forcible means. Ecological health, and political freedom are far too precious to be imperiled by the elite establishment, and it's collaborators in government. Time shall tell very well whom shall ultimately prevail. And in the end, after all is said and done, history shall judge.
