Fixed for you.

I agree. Women hate freedom. They evolved to play the slave role and now that nu-males are to gay to assert dominance they seek to be slaves of the state.

>implying they won't fuck something up
I've already read stories where identical twins have had problems getting drivers licenses because of facial recognition. Just wait until a bug in the software identifies the wring person and they no knock raid their ass and kill and innocent person.

COINTELPRO. Why give them more power instead of more oversight? I swear, you "they work for the government, they would never commit crimes" types are so naive.

Of The past 30 years the three letter brigades always had prior knowledge of threats. Days, months and even years of investigations. They someti.es show up in places beyond jurisdiction. In fact mainstream news outlets gives no fucks mentioning this freely to the public.
The matter of stopping or supplying is a different story for another time
