The great escape (from Amazon and Google) is underway.

I would love to watch members of Congress debate whether Apple should be nationalized.  They could get the source code for iOS and Mac OS and enough money to pay for another small invasion.

Government for Dummies 21st Century Edition (8 steps to full control)

Step 1 - Mess with geo-politics and governments around the world
Step 2 - Piss off said governments and populace to the point that their country's entire population hates you
Step 3 - Try to control that country economically and/or militarily
Step 4 - Kill resistance to your controlling efforts and label them as insurgents. Population declares a holy war against you
Step 5 - Respond to resulting terror at home by controlling your own population through fear created from steps 1 to 4
Step 6 - Twist privacy and free speech to make them appear unconstitutional and unpatriotic. Utilize obscure laws from 1700's if necessary.
Step 7 - Step up fear mongering so laws can be re-written to remove personal privacy
Step 8 - Wipe ass with constitution.

Your recipe is pretty close, but there are a couple of ingredients you need to add to make a Colonialist Shit Sandwich palatable.  Before Step 1 you need to invent a
masturbatory concept like "Manifest Destiny" or "American (sic) Exceptionalism".  This allows Steps 1 through 4 to be portrayed as noble rather than selfish.  Around
Step 5 or Step 6 you need to add a heaping shovel of misdirection.  Claim that the cause of terrorism is that terrorists hate our freedom (rather than that they hate the
way we have our boot on their neck).  That reminds me.  I wonder if we will continue to hear how they hate our freedom if the FBI/DOJ achieve their end game.  What
freedom will there be to hate if we are living in a National Surveillance State where the first, fourth, and fifth amendments are nothing more than quaint historical
references?  Perhaps that is their plan for getting the terrorists to leave us alone.

You're the worst piece of shit. It's all funny until your father is beat to death over a traffic stop or your child is raped by a cop and let off scot-free...
 I hope one day you experience the cruelest crimes upon you or your loved ones as a slap in the face to your own cruelty. Maybe that day we'll have thousands of puppets laughing at your slain father or raped daughter "LOL"!!

Copblock.org. Read about all the crimes these pigs commit daily that the media refuse to cover...
Losers like gator were laughing and said the little girl deserved the beating as she laid in the hospital.

.

Your statement is both repugnant and personally offensive sir. I've not ever seen anyone cheer when a child is beaten, tho apparently you have. I do hope you jumped in to stop it. It's certainly not something that would be tolerated for even a moment by Grady Judd, tho perhaps in your neck-of-the-woods it's different. 

I've not used the word "pig" when referring to police officers since my ignorant teenage burn-my-draft-card and don't-tell-me-I-can't-toke-at-the-concert days. Paint 'em all with then same brush eh Cali? Yeah I know lots of less-fortunate folks around here who supposedly hate the cops. . . until they need one. 

So do you believe that everyone who "apparently" committed a crime should be summarily executed?  Are there any people who should get due process of the law and
the presumption of innocence?  Can labeling someone as a career criminal be sufficient to remove any rights they are guaranteed under the US Constitution?  Can the labeling be done after the execution in order to justify violation of a person's rights in all cases?  This would be convenient for homicidal police thugs.  Your feelings of repugnance and offense are what should cause people to LOL.
