The US Gov doesn't lie & the CIA is great!

I am anti-authoritarian. There are a few "good" people in uniforms but not many. I don't necessarily hate anyone per se as I still believe that people are inherently good. However, with each passing day, people are trying to prove me wrong - police, military, and politicians included. Our biggest threat isn't found in some far off land, it's in Washington DC.

Complying with some orders that are contrary to the Oath you took to uphold and defend the Constitution is not an excuse.

"All tyranny needs to gain a foothold is for people of good conscience to remain silent." - Thomas Jefferson

"Let it not be said that we did nothing" - Ron Paul​

 

And WE killed millions. Apples and oranges?

Oh I forgot, since we are "Americans", our lives are worth more than everyone else's...got blowback?

I'm tired of defending the indefensible. NO MORE. I refuse to carry the water in the name of blind patriotism to a country who doesn't value its own Constitution and Rule Of Law.

 

+ indoctrination and propaganda...both are powerful tools...

It's been a while since I've posted these but it seems appropriate:

"By the skillful and sustained use of propaganda, one can make a people see even heaven as hell or an extremely wretched life as paradise."

"He alone, who owns the youth, gains the future."

"How fortunate for governments that the people they administer don't think."

"If you tell a big enough lie and tell it frequently enough, it will be believed."

"It is not truth that matters, but victory."

"Make the lie big, make it simple, keep saying it, and eventually they will believe it."

"The broad masses of a population are more amenable to the appeal of rhetoric than to any other force."

"The great masses of the people will more easily fall victims to a big lie than to a small one."

"What good fortune for governments that the people do not think."

^ Adolf Hitler, Der Führer

And of course...still ringing true to this day:

“Naturally the common people don't want war. But after all, it is the leaders of a country who determine the policy, and it's always a simple matter to drag people along whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. This is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and for exposing the country to danger. It works the same in every country.” - Hermann Goering, Hitler's Reich Marshall, at the Nuremberg Trials after World War II.

 

I think the problem will be "fixed" when:

1- Ron Paul becomes President
or
2- The entire system collapses

Both of which are likely...2 is really likely if 1 doesn't happen.

The entire speech is worthing watching but the final 15 minutes is POWERFUL, especially 4:30-on:

Quotes from the beginning of the book:

"'For this I was born, and for this I have come into the world, to bear witness to the truth. Everyone, who is of the truth, hears my voice.' Pilate said to him, 'What is truth?'" - John 18:37

"[M]en are so simple, and so subject to present necessities, that he who seeks to deceive will always find someone who will allow himself to be deceived." - Niccolò Machiavelli, The Prince

"Everything the State says is a lie, and everything it has it has stolen." - Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche, Thus Spoke Zarathustra

"Their final objective toward which all their deceit is directed is to capture political power so that, using the power of the state and the power of the market simultaneously, they may keep the common man in eternal subjection." - Henry A. Wallace, Vice President of the United States (1941-1945)
