Into your life it will creep Starts When you’re always afraid Step out of line, The man comes and takes you away Time we Stop…..

They want everyone paranoid, passive, and preoccupied with keeping themselves and loved ones safe. They did this during Coin Tel Pro and it worked. In the Bay area, no one knew who to trust and the rule of thumb became “The one who says he can get the dynamite is the narc!” In Nashville, where Mr Sweet was during that time, violence was more targeted. They sent bikers in to break gathering spots and the people in them. Mr Sweet was targeted and left town for 25 years in fear of his life.

We’ve been here before. The tools are more pervasive, but the communication is better and the people are waking up. I’d like to remind everyone of my favorite rally chant:

“The people united can never be defeated!” Good luck and stay safe out there!
