Police Statism

Police Statism or PolStat is an ideology or form of government that exercises power through the power of the police force. Originally, PolStat was defined as an ideology advocating for a state-regulated by a civil administration, but since the beginning of the 20th century it has "taken on an emotional and derogatory meaning" by describing an undesirable state of living characterized by the overbearing presence of civil authorities.

The inhabitants of a police state may experience restrictions on their mobility, or on their freedom to express or communicate political or other views, which are subject to police monitoring or enforcement. Political control may be exerted by means of a secret police force that operates outside the boundaries normally imposed by a constitutional state.

[[File:COINTELPRO.png]] COINTELPRO
COINTELPRO (Counter Intelligence Program) was a series of covert and illegal projects actively conducted from 1956 to 1971 by Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) aimed at surveilling, infiltrating, discrediting, and disrupting domestic American political organizations the FBI deemed subversive and a threat to national security. COINTELPRO was organized by the founder of FBI, J. Edgar Hoover who had by 1956 become increasingly frustrated by U.S. Supreme Court decisions that limited the Justice Department's ability to prosecute people for their political opinions, most notably communists. This lead to him initiating covert "dirty tricks" program under the name COINTELPRO with the original purpose of disrupting CPUSA and keeping close tabs on individuals with communist sympathies such as Charlie Chaplin. COINTELPRO soon expanded to target a plethora of other organizations and movements which included feminist organizations,  The New Left and the anti–Vietnam War movement, and most notably the civil rights movement and  Black Power movement. Among the black activists and civil rights leaders targeted by COINTELPRO were Bayard Rustin,  Martin Luther King Jr.,  Malcolm X,  Fred Hampton,  Angela Davis,  Viola Liuzzo,  Jessica Mitford, among many other.

Every US President from the 1950s-1971, Dwight D. Eisenhower,  JFK,  LBJ, and  Richard Nixon was complicit in FBI's illegal activities to a certain extent and Attorney General  Robert F. Kennedy personally authorized some of the programs.

The program was secret until 1971 when the Citizens' Commission to Investigate the FBI burgled an FBI field office in Media, Pennsylvania, using the boxing match known as the Fight of the Century between Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier in March 1971 as a cover to pull off the heist, took several dossiers, and exposed the program by passing this material to news agencies.

[[File:FBI.png]] Wackenhut Private Security [[File:Corp.png]]
George Wackenhut was a former FBI agent and the founder of the Wackenhut private security corporation. In 1951, Wackenhut joined the FBI as a special agent in Indianapolis and Atlanta and was tasked with handling counterfeit money and bad-check cases and tracking down Army deserters. He eventually resigned from the FBI to start his own private security company. The huge profits made from the Wackenhut corporation enabled its founder to live a lavish lifestyle in homes scattered throughout the US "Tyecliffe Castle", or "Castle Wackenhut" in Coral Gables, near Miami. George Wackenhut was known as a hard-line right-winger and built up dossiers on Americans suspected of being Communists or  left-leaning "subversives and sympathizers" and sold the information to interested parties. By the late, 1960s Wackenhut held files onthan more 4 million names of suspected "dissidents." In 1975, after the United States Congress investigated companies that had private files, Wackenhut gave its files to the now-defunct anti-Communist Church League of America of Wheaton, Illinois.

Wackenhut sold his company for $570 million in 2002 to Danish corporation Group 4 Falck which then merged to form British company G4S in 2004. G4S provides security to specific government and corporate sectors: energy, utilities, and chemical/petrochemical, financial institutions, hospitals, and healthcare facilities, major corporations and the construction industry, ports and airports, residential communities, retail and commercial real estate, and transit systems. In 2010, G4S Wackenhut changed its name to G4S Secure Solutions (USA) to reflect the new business model.

[[File:Cball-Romania.png]] Romania [[File:Cball-SRRomania.png]]
When communism fell, the political police apparatus, known as the Securitate, only formally disbanded. All the former higher ups from the organisation took control of the newly-established liberal democratic Romania through election fraud and re-established the nepotism and endemic corruption by using their well-established network of contacts. Most post-communism politicians that saw success were, or are ex-Securitate members, and any attempt to prosecute them ended with failure in suspicious circumstances. Witnesses and judges would disappear or die in freak accidents, evidence would systematically burn in accidental fires, and a campaign of "terrorism" was advertised by the Securitate to intimidate people into giving up, nothing moved on the political scene of Romania without the Securitate knowing and even now, the myth of the "coup d'etat" is still strong after having been ingrained by the Securitate in collective consciousness to appease the masses. While the majority of these retired from politics after having robbed public funds for two decades, the Securitate members live a comfortable life, free of all and any risk of prosecution due to their liquidation of all incriminating evidence.
