America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves. Abraham Lincoln
Although the United States has shown signs of complete repression of society with clear imperialist and militaristic characteristics for years, the latest "nail" in the American Democracy coffin has raised all human rights organizations, communities for the protection of juveniles and children.
FBI has started with new federal program where teachers are obligated to report all students who disagree with goverment policy, or criticize american foreign policy, or even those who are using phrases such as "Western Corruption" .
All secundary school teachers have been provided with instrucitons for reporting schoolars who are questioning acts of goverment decisions or who express their rebellious and anarchist attitudes, in other words those who has their own additute and do not blindly believe in mainstream. The main purpuse and goal of program is to "cut" extreme behavior in it's roots, before it's to late.
School assosiates have been told to pay special attention to poor students,students coming from a fammily of imigranst and those who have traveled to unfriendly countries. According to FBI, such students are more likely to commit a terrorist act in the future.
High school students are ideal targets for recruitment by violent
extremists seeking support for their radical ideologies, foreign fighter
networks, or conducting acts of targeted violence within our borders.
High schools must remain vigilant in educating their students about
catalysts that drive violent extremism and the potential
consequences of embracing extremist beliefs.

It is a paradoxical fact that the country that is considered as the biggest promoter of democracy spies on its "youth" and considers them as a high-risk group that has a tendency to extreme behavior. The main problem in America is indoctrination, they've brain washed since the day they were born in order to serve imeprialistic goals, without knowing deeper picture. That allows elite to control every aspect of our life, directly affecting the perception of reality that benefits them and their agenda. Although i must say, since internet became our main "tool" in everyday life, social awareness has never been bigger, and i'm hoping that we will find a way to a real freedom.
Whether they want to admit it or not, civil liberties and civil society are irretrievably disappearing in the US, and the question is when this will happen to us as everything that is being done and established in the United States ultimately ends up as a common standard throughout the "democratic world ".
If you take a look at that document you will see how FBI carefully avoided using words such as espionage, surveillance, reporting, monitoring, and the like, and in all possible ways tried to explain that this is a human program that provides a safer and happier future. Even though i do think that there should be some security measures in order to have a safer community, i do not agree with these tipe of state interventions which represses our freedom.
The Federal Investigative Bureau has already distributed written and audio-visual materials that teachers will be able to familiarize with schoolchildren with dangers and forms of modern terrorism. Teachers will teach students how to recognize their peers who could commit a terrorist attack, including paying attention to students who: "Speak in codes, use a few mobile phones that suspect suspicious sounds that use private messaging applications, and those who speak "unusual" languages, and the most important is to report those who travel to places that "sound suspicious".

Addmitit or not there are things that resemble Orwellian dystopia, where psychopathic and authoritarian powers spy on and oversee their own citizens, with the constant encouragement of phobia from external and internal enemies. I'm starting to be afraid of his prophecy. Like we are not monitored enough, every message, every phone call goes trough their system denying our privacy.
Maybe we can't influence on it directy, but we can definitely raise awareness and hope for better days .
