by Paul Engel, America Outloud:

There’s a reason why organizations like the Gestapo, the Stasi, and the KGB have the reputations they do. All of them were organs of the state to control their population through fear, intimidation, and the abuse of law enforcement powers. As they say, “The more things change, the more they stay the same.” By that, I mean the United States has its own “Secret Police,” and they have been very busy lately spying on the American people, coercing people into compliance, and covering up their crimes. People say, “Sunlight is the best disinfectant.”, but for that to be true, the light must do more than show the infection in our nation and our society. It must be used to remove it.
