Active Shooter in Vegas!

(10-05-2017, 03:51 PM)Mystic Wanderer Wrote: The company describe themselves as “a premier global advisory firm focused on security and risk management. Whose professionals include former Cabinet-level officials, senior intelligence and national security officers, private-equity CEOs, and experienced investment bankers from the most distinguished Wall Street firms.

For those organizations that require tactical security support, we work hand-in-hand with clients to conduct comprehensive security assessments, establish effective risk management frameworks, and build more resilient organizations capable of navigating today’s threat environment.”

From my perspective, that phrase right there is the most troubling - "for those organizations that require tactical security support". "Tactical" implies operators on the ground, black-suited trigger pullers. Black suited trigger pullers who are NOT sworn law enforcement. That is a potentially troubling development.

I was affiliated with an organization that could be a model for what they have in mind a few years ago when I was doing armed security. That organization deployed both sworn law enforcement and unsworn security at the same time, in the same vehicles. The rationale was that as unsworn "citizens", the armed security could do things the sworn officers could not, and conversely, the sworn officers had powers the security did not - for example, powers of arrest. On the other hand, the security officers did not have limited jurisdiction as the sworn officers did.

That could be conceived of as a match made in hell, if abused.

The difference is, what I was involved in was on a small scale, purely local. On a national scale, that could become a national nightmare. It's what I was afraid DHS was heading towards with their "Fusion Centers", and lo and behold, here is Chertoff and company still pushing it. That could potentially be bad, very bad - what amounts to mercenaries operating on domestic soil with legal backing.

I've done that sort of thing, both domestically and foreign, but back then if it was overseas it was "employment", while the same thing done here was "criminal activity". In the 90's, that began to change with this merger, albeit on a small scale, of governmental power with private freedom of action lending government legitimacy to private action. I'm telling you right now that on a small scale that is not too problematic, as oversight is much easier, but on a larger scale it can be disastrous, as there is much, MUCH less oversight possible, and accountability goes out the window.

One thing to remember is that those trigger-pullers are not the only trigger pullers on the block. there are others around who've been there, done that, set the t-shirt on fire and walked away... but that doesn't mean they forgot everything they ever knew. We should expect opposition to arise if they try to put a plan like that in motion, perhaps really rowdy opposition, because when the shit gets deep, there are those around who will try to swim or at least keep their heads above drowning level, and some of those know how to do it just as well as the ones trying to push it.

Diogenes was eating bread and lentils for supper. He was seen by the philosopher Aristippus, who lived comfortably by flattering the king.

Said Aristippus, ‘If you would learn to be subservient to the king you would not have to live on lentils.’ Said Diogenes, ‘Learn to live on lentils and you will not have to be subservient to the king.’
