Minerva Research Initiative

I would like to suggest that you Google "Minerva Research Initiative", which has to do with the Federal Government (DOD) conducting research on how to deal militarily with civil unrest, and uprisings. After you have researched what the Minerva Research Initiative is doing and recommending, you may pause and speculate about what has the research Inititive have to do with the citizens of the USA. Perhaps, in order to answer that quesition, one must first determine how would you support the findings of the Minerva Research Initiate with action? Actions supporting of the findings of the Initiative should point the way to answer the question, What has this Initative got to do with American Citizens?
Perhaps you will recall how the National Security Agency (NSA) has many data mining and citizen surveillance programs underway with enormous amounts of "META" data being stored about every aspect of American activity and identification. NSA has never fully explained why they are doing this against American citizens. However, if after researching the Minerva Research Initiative, one could certainly make the case that such "META" date would be required in order to support the findings and recommendations of the Initiative. Now couple that with the unexplained actions of Homland Security in creating an unconstitutional National Armed Police force while purchasing extraordinary amounts of ammunition, along with acquiring implements for war fighting, perhaps you can connect the dots about how you would support the findings of the Initiative with action.
   So, perhaps, the question concerning how does the research Initiative have to do with American Citizens can be answered by what the NSA and Homeland Security has been doing. You make the call.
