You can't have a massive new fake war - the War on Domestic Terorrism - without ideally having new ways to track and surveil anyone (everyone) that is going against the machine politically. They need new capabilities and they're absolutely going to put them into place, asap. Did you see their reaction to the populist Trump circus? The globalists viewed it as a mortal threat. Everything they built since WW2 was in jeopardy as far as they were concerned. Their ability to launch more forever wars, endless foreign adventurism, obsessive (psychotic) superpower global meddling, all of it under threat from rising populism (represented by both Trump and Sanders) and a growing rejection of the entirely failed decades-long approach by the globalists that has led to the US being buried under nearly $30 trillion in debt and numerous catastrophic wars. Just look at what these monsters are saying publicly on MSNBC, CNN, et al. They're telling everybody what they're planning to do, they're putting it right out there. Look at their framing: we're going to target the domestic population; they're de facto saying that. They couldn't be more open about the authoritarian nightmare they have in mind. They perceive
their system as being under risk from populist revolt against them and their agenda, and they're launching a counter offensive (the empire is striking back), it's under way right now. Bet on it.
It's quite simple: the culture of bureaucrats that have dominated Washington DC and its policies in the post WW2 era, they acquired a position of power the likes of which has rarely been seen in all of human history. Now, ask yourself: do you really think they're ready to give that power up? They're ready to stop treating the rest of the planet like it's their toy, to do with as they please. Then ask yourself: what do you think they're prepared to do to stave off risks to that power? The risk that they might lose their precious. And there you go, you have your answer. They're willing to do many of the same things other authoritarians have been willing to do. The US isn't Soviet Russia, that's not the suggestion; it doesn't need to be to start putting political opponents (fringe rabble rousers; whether libertarian or socialist - see: Clinton vs Sanders; that's globalist establishment vs domestic socialist) into prison and surveiling everyone in a desperate attempt to retain their power. That kind of power is an intense drug, they're addicts of the worst kind, you can tell by how they behave in regards to the rest of the world, how they treat the rest of the world.
To ensure they keep their power, to keep their globalist forever war machine (and everything that goes with it), they need to put the boot on rising domestic risks to that power.
