American't

America is a nation that I feel, with great sadness, that has never ascended to the level of greatness it has convinced itself it is made of.

From the very beginning, the people governing that nation have done everything they can to take what they want from the land. Be that the slaughter of the native tribes, the unfulfilled promises to desperate immigrants, or many lies it has used on its citizens to convince them that they must fight wars that benefit no one but the banks.

they wave Old Glory around and declare that not supporting the agendas is unpatriotic, unamerican, and goes against believing in liberty.

How strange and paradoxical is an ideology that requires a nation's people to go kill other people in foreign lands for resources and control. that these things must be done for us to be safe and secure.

Oppress others before they try to oppress us, they say. they do not say it so directly. first they must make you feel afraid, desperate. they manipulate the money markets and impoverish the masses.

they make their governance a necessity, so that you need their assistance. they bully you and then sell you their protection from the bullying. then they send our sons and daughters off to die for what they want.

this is not liberty, nor freedom, nor democracy. this is a Patrician society. An oligarchy, aristocracy, teetering near the edge of totalitarian and fascist.

it pains me to say it but my conscience leaves me no other choice. as long as we kill for peace there shall be no peace.

Blame

I am silenced by the gutless, in their towers of ivory and gold, muted into violence, as all of my cards they hold. Bastardised by a label, I am England's forgotten son.

More Guns

I'm not sure if I dreamt this but I think I heard somewhere that the plan in the USA to combat gun crime is to put armed police in every school.

Why don't you go to India or Africa and then come back and say that same thing 😽

I see what your talking about but other countries have it was worse!

Sorry, *way

what i am saying is that we are a global tyrant/oppressor. america had become a monstrous ironic joke. "land of the free" is just the oppressor for most of the rest of the world.

i have travelled the world. im not saying we have it bad. im saying that we are not a wonderful thing like we pretend. reality is that we take what we want and kill whoever is in the way of what we want. we are bullies, thugs, gangsters, thieves, and liars. i served in the us military for 4 years. i believed in america then. now i see that america is a country run by corporations for corporations for the banks. sure living conditions have improved, but only because it is profitable. we are slaves to a debt based economy

@simplywil ok, I see what you mean

@ClaireTilley i completely respect your disagreement with my perceptions. i can only offer to expand upon what i have laid out and hope that you see that my aim is only to bring to light what seems to me to be the truth. i have often found that the underbelly of what is foisted upon the masses from governmental officialdom is often very sick. a sort of warped mentality and twisted thinking that justifies its actions. actions that, with their messages, seem justified from within the constructs they create. being objective and thinking in terms of outsider view, what you begin to see is a pattern of deception and greed. it is a disease of the mind and they want everyone to be infected, and i will take no part in it.
