A new report
came to confirm of what many already suspect about a global, totally
militarized future, even in the most developed countries. It appears
that a booming industry of weapons to be used inside the urban
centers, is exploiting the violence brought by extremists inside
those centers. Terrorist attacks are also exploited by the
governments to proceed in further suppression measures.
From
theantimedia.org
:
A new
report from analysts with industry research group, Sandler
Research, forecasts the Global Riot Control System Market for the
next four years — but beyond a burgeoning market to parallel the
expanding global police state, it appears world governments are
also keenly aware of civilian discontent.
[...]
“Law
enforcement agencies around the world are the biggest market for
riot control systems. This market is expected to generate revenues
of over USD 3.5 billion by the end of 2020. Countries such as the
U.S., Iran, Egypt, Russia, China, and Thailand have started
procuring riot control equipment and are investing heavily in
[non-lethal weapons]. Moreover, special vehicles that are equipped
with water cannon and reservoirs have been designed for security
personnel, for use in areas of conflict to handle large crowds and
demonstration. Demand for such equipment is expected to rise
during the next few years.”
[...]
“In
North America, the prominent markets are Canada and the U.S. and
law enforcement agencies in these nations are best equipped with
the upgraded weapons. The militarization of the police department
and other law enforcement agencies in the Americas has encouraged
the use of advanced riot control equipment.”
[...]
“Law enforcement agencies use
riot control systems to maintain the public order and safety and
to enforce laws. They are used to disperse, control, and arrest
people involved in riots and protests. Riot control systems
include lethal and non-lethal weapons (NWLs), body-worn cameras,
armored vehicles, and communications systems.”

The
nightmarish scenario shows that this Dystopian, totally militarized
future may come quite sooner than we should probably expect. However,
even more remarkable is the fact that this latest study predicts that
“This market is expected to generate revenues of over USD 3.5
billion by the end of 2020.” and “Demand for such
equipment is expected to rise during the next few years.”
These
forecasts are perfectly aligned with the predictions of a report from
2016 Davos economic forum. As already mentioned in previous article: “The study estimates that there will be
no 'widespread societal upheaval—at least up until the year 2020',
due to the takeover of jobs by artificial intelligence, but is this
realy a reason not to worry seriously? Think about it: 2020 is only
four years from now! Say, at the end of the new US presidency.”
It seems
that very few pieces of the puzzle have been left for someone to
complete the already clear picture. Not only everything shows that
the elites exploit terrorist attacks to impose further suppression
measures, as they expect riots due to massive loss of jobs, but we
have also a picture of the period in which we should expect a rapid
rise of militarization. Therefore, from now and until 2020, we should
expect an acceleration of police militarization and suppression
against protesters, based on further potential terrorist attacks that
will be used as a pretext.
Recall that
we've seen signs of rapid militarization after Paris attacks. As also mentioned : “... on the occasion of the COP21
climate change summit, which by coincidence(?) took place in Paris,
less than a month from the terror attacks, the French authorities
proceeded in unprecedented security measures, including activists who
had nothing to do with terrorism!”
Everything
shows that the elites are breaking fast the social contract, building a protective wall around
them: “It's not accidental that the arms industries demonstrate
new weapons designed to be used inside urban areas for suppression of
potential riots. There will be no 'outside enemy' in the future. The
threat for the dominant system will come from the interior, the big
urban centers. Soldier-robots will protect worker-robots and
resources.”
Nice wee article; this one shows what to do when all of this happens: http://www.anonews.co/how-to-escape-martial-law/?utm_source=anonews.co&utm_campaign=090a7e80b9-RSS_EMAIL_CAMPAIGN&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_972df065c6-090a7e80b9-86152842
