A police state can only function as a police state if the citizens of that state understand they live in a police state and respond accordingly. Up until now, most of the Western nation sheeple have been deluded into believing they live in some form of democratic system. This 'leak', allegedly made by "Edward Snowden", which was then trumpeted for days across mainstream media, has served to make most citizens collectively aware that they are being spied and snooped on. However, the necessity for that spying and snooping, and the danger inherent in being at the wrong end of the spying and snooping, has yet to be experienced on an individual level (i.e., taken to heart). To achieve that, the next step is for the citizens themselves to start spying and snooping on each other, and this can only be accomplished if they feel motivated to do so by fear. Fear will be used to turn us as individuals against each other, to embrace spying and snooping not as a necessary evil but as a safety measure.

So yes, a false flag is definitely in the works. Step one was releasing the leak; step two was putting a human face on the process; and step three will be justifying the spying and snooping through an event so horrendous that it makes 911 look like a child's game. To the person who mentioned that all alleged terrorist attacks on US soil were false flags blamed on 'foreigners' -- you're exactly right. To the person who said we are about to turn on each other and rat each other out -- you're exactly right. Rule by decree (or executive order) and by high-jacked elections is a police state. The US is a police state, as are most if not all supposed Western democracies.

The worst is yet to come. These are very dangerous times for those who refuse to live lives of cowardice and lies. God help us all.
