To be sure, in much of the First World, developments have followed a similar pattern: a governmental trend toward fascism and socialism, dramatically expanding debt, ever-increasing destruction by the banking system, etc. However, the US has gone well beyond most countries in one aspect: legislation that allows the government to transform itself into a full-on police state. Whilst other countries have increased their policing powers, none holds a candle to the transformative legislation passed in the US.”
