Do remember that we are an
occupied nation, not the land of the free. Do you think the impeachment of Bill Clinton had anything to do with a lie about an extra-marital affair? Clinton, remember, only came into power (disrupting BFEE plans) because Perot came on the scene, dripping with hatred for GHWB, and split the Republican vote. The nation loved Bill; the Regime therefore did everything it could to discredit him. Yet, still, GWB and a complicit SCOTUS had to steal the Presidency on 12 December 2000 (the day all pretense to democracy died), followed by atrocity after atrocity, including the stolen elections of 2002 and 2004. We are an occupied nation, not a free people, slow to wake up to the prison walls that grow all around us.
The illusion of freedom in America will continue as long as it's profitable to continue the illusion. At the point where the illusion becomes too expensive to maintain, they will just take down the scenery, they will pull back the curtains, they will move the tables and chairs out of the way, and you will see the brick wall at the back of the theatre.

And some more...
Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired, signifies in the final sense a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed.
--President Dwight D. Eisenhower, April 16, 1953
You're not to be so blind with patriotism that you can't face reality. Wrong is wrong, no matter who does it or says it.
--Malcolm X
If you assume that there's no hope, you guarantee that there will be no hope. If you assume that there is an instinct for freedom, there are opportunities to change things, there's a chance you may contribute to making a better world. That's your choice.
--Noam Chomsky
You must be the change you want to see in the world.

Now. Or never.

Sweet potato is no patriot, nor is peebs; they are the happy idiots of a growing fascism, mere tools, too blind by myth to see it.
