In shocking detail, the meticulously researched articles in this anthology expose the national security state's sinister blueprint for destroying democracy and crushing dissent. Deploying "civil disturbance" strategies as part of a comprehensive doctrine of "homeland defense," police, national guard and elite Army counterinsurgency units are gearing up for "operations other than war" in U.S. cities. — from the Foreword
What we are dealing with in fact is an intensification of the military character of the police, a "gloves-off' exposure of the military character of the police, in a period during which the need for state repression to enforce economic exploitation has grown considerably. We can liken this understanding to a correct handle on the question of "globalization." Capitalism has always been a global system, from its birth in the triangular trade in slaves and the products of slave labor. Imperialism is a stage of capitalism, and the current manifestations of international capitalist organization, "free trade", and integrated international production processes are "more of the same." — from the Introduction
...the convergence of the military and the police, in the interests of corporate sponsored social control, both here and abroad, follows quite logically from popular American obeisance to their needs. With one half of all federal resources devoted to the generals and their assorted industries of death, it was only a matter of time (timing), given the needs and sick desires of the corporate rich, that the cop on the street would one day become a special-ops soldier, trained to discourage dissent and to suppress protest, if necessary, violently.
