And the apropriate responses:

1) Be a dickhead every time you get searched or inconvenienced in any way. Practice personal security on a regular basis and look for opportunities to defend yourself against any level of inappropriate surveillance. Capitalize every single opportunity to discredit any and all police state tactics, from ridiculing "Fusion Centers" being used to enforce parking violations to harassing surveillance cameras. One aspect of this, harass and threaten those who direct cameras on your property without your consent, cooperation or permission. The government putting cameras on the street is one bad thing, them getting a clear view of your driveway is a worse bad thing, let them know that, especially when they don't readily share the information with the victims of crime.

2) Secret arrests: Yeah well, the payback is a bitch program for snitches is a start, but more importantly those situations have to be verified and recorded. All such secret arrests situations should be treated appropriately as unlawful kidnap situations. If they can't be stopped in progress, then retaliate. Engage in counterintelligence whenever possible, run interference, expose operations, leak information when possible, identify individual agents and shotcallers when possible. Boycott those who do business with them, boycott their families, boycot any family businesses. This is critically important part of punishng a police state because it usually goes hand in hand with "crony capitalism" which is a capitalist society, but only for those with political connections, sort of a waypoint between fascism and feudalism. What it depends a lot on is the loyalty of functionaries who financially benefit long after their participation in police state actions.

#3) so what, that's the macroeconomic issue, and unless you are a multi-millionare there is not a whole lot you can do about it. Grab whatever currency you can relatively morally and ethically (legality not an ethical or moral issue) and convert it to real wealth. Any retard who continues to convert wealth to stock market and machine feeding financial wrangling has been warned. At this point, I am trying to figure out why I am supposed to have so much pity on those who cry woes about how the paper they shuffled became "lost wealth" when they were not investing in things like farming, construction and manufacturing.

#4) Start a garden, invest in a farm, make your own food shopping choices. Farm to fork investment is growing, but not fast enough. Personally, in my garden this year, the non-GMO stuff died off and the GMO stuff was what actually gave me some edible food, but financially was horribly inefficient. I spent far more on gardening stuff than I would have spent at the farmer's market once a week on Sundays.
