I read this post and have several things to say,
If one wants to read what this government is going into and leading, STUDY up on "COUNCIL ON FOREIGN RELATIONS" this government has me leaving the military in 5 months then i would have served 18 1/2 years of service. I am a gun COLLECTOR, read again "GUN COLLECTOR" I stand on my AMENDMENT RIGHTS to BEAR ARMS!
One thing I can say about the media and this is about 95% true whether anyone believes it or not. Media is GOVERNMENT CONTROLED PROPAGADA!!!! The GOVERNMENT controls the MEDIA what they can and can't SHOW or AIR. There are reporters who want the truth to be known on many facts, but like I said, GOVERNMENT CONTROLS IT!!!! Yes, gory stories, etc is what the papers sell to make money. They are not going to publicize good stories because they won't make much money. If the news media, whether TV, Radio, or Newspapers put anything in their airing against the government that is true, they would be SHUT DOWN in a heart beat!
I love this country, I love my brother and sister veterans, but this government, that is another story. You look at all the vets coming back from Iraq or Afghanistan who HAVE BEEN there and see they are getting out, even like me with so few years left to retire and not retiring with 20 plus years of service. Some of these vets haven't even served 10 years. The reason on thing about the government is the government doesn't care about us and uses US as strong arms to show and act on force. I seen and had to do things that most of us thought were questionable, but it is either do it, or face charges.
This is the same situation with Germany in WW2. The higher ups gave the orders and the lower rankings had to do the dirty work, yes, The U.S. and the European countries tried and convicted SOME of the higher officials for war crimes. But many Americans don't really know that some of those higher officials who were just as guilty of the crimes were protected by the U.S. and was secreted out of the country and brought here to the United States. I can assure you that OUR government DIDN'T EXECUTE, or JAIL them!
There are many facts about our government and if people spend much time on the internet or doing research in many other places rather than watching TV, or just letting their kids roam the streets they would learn a lot more and would be totally shocked!
The government watches our every move from internet, cell phone, cameras at road intersections, towns, streets, etc and they say it is for National Security and crime watch. I would get the crime watch thing, but really has anyone looked around the areas I am talking about where crime rate is on and has been on the low to non existant? While us white, black, yellow, tan people gets thoroughly screened and almost have to totally strip at airport security check points, while "Arabic" looking foreign nationals walk and get past by because TSA and our government says they can't discriminate them because of what happened on 9/11 so they let them get by with them just walking through the check points and board the planes still! What is wrong with that picture?
By the way, about me; I am just a plain HONEST AMERICAN WHO LIVES BY OUR ADMENDMENT RIGHTS!
I can go on more, but it would be one heck of a book! I could actually write a book but the thought of somewhere down the line of me being accused of being a racist, gun breaking law, criminalised citizen ending up being sniped or shot by machine guns by the government doesn't appeal to me!
