Due to my personal experience in corrupt US courts, I can verify that repression of dissent is becoming a primary focus of centralized powers. The censorship, banning, and deletion of dissidents on social media is just the beginning of actual oppression of Americans. This play is only in the opening act. History reveals numerous examples of progression from censorship to RWDS and from relatively free and sovereign societies to states that are so captive to parasitic profiteers that they flirt with complete collapse.

War profiteers aren't patriots or nationalists. They profit personally from the destruction, and that's all that matters to them. Until and unless marijuana laws are reformed nationally, they will be used increasingly to suppress dissidents, and AG Sessions clearly revealed his intention to do exactly that before he was replaced with William Barr - who could scarcely be considered an advocate of freedom and sovereignty in comparison.

All that being said, my remark was that it was possible, not that it was currently ongoing. I just expect it, failing reform of national prohibition. The TSA, DHS, and surveillance state is not being grown as a means of increasing the ability of Americans to freely travel and associate, but to effect the opposite.
