Alright, I am being attacked from all sides here so I'll take the time to respond thoroughly and to the best of my writing ability.

They are also the same people who just got done cramming down every bad legislation they could down our throats. They are Pelosi, Reid, Obama, (Aquarian fits into this very same bunch), that's what they are teaching our youth, every attempt they get closer , and closer . Why ? because they are ingrained in every school, every church, every Union. They have time on their side. Thank God this election the American people woke up enough to slow them down, but we are far behind their attempts. They will continue to teach our founding fathers were evil, and the revolutionist murderers were heros. They will continue to rewrite history , and delete all the real history of this country.
We can not stop, we must rid our country of these cancers before it's too late.
I don't fully understand nor grasp where all this vitriol is coming from, but this is by far one of the most inaccurate posts in Blackvault History. I do not support the agenda of the Democratic Party. In-fact, time and time again has proven that both parties, Democratic and Republican, serve the same corporate interests, are beholden to the agenda of U.S. imperialism, and wage endless class warfare against the planet. Once you look past the false left/right paradigm you will see that no one in Washington D.C. is your friend.

Typical statement from a 22 year old who has not even started his working life. When you are my age you have a different perspetive, assuming your lifestyle gets you that far.
That's an extremely harsh statement. I would have never expected that from you, really.
That estabishment enemy for most of the working class people turns into career opportunities that provides you security, income, and benifits raising a family. Even you have sunk to the same lows having taken a job yourself with one of them. As long as that paycheck keeps coming in on Fridays, your standards get a little different, as well as your priorieties. Instead of praying those corporate giants sink into oblivian when your are 22, you now want them to suceed and grow, becasue you have a vested interest in their sucess. Like it not, most everyone works for someone, and working for these establishment enemies, and wanting them to be sucessfull is not a bad thing.
Unfortunately Greeney, I may be young, but I am also old enough to see and talk to people around me who are struggling. The very same income, benefits, etc. that we depend on by our corporate parents are at the behest of the owners/capitalists. If they want to one day to slash benefits and wages for the sake of "staying afloat", they will do so out of risk of harming your family's security. There's a whole lot of reasons for this, but mostly it is 1) the gross concentration of wealth in the hands of a few, and 2) currency-dependent economy. Wanting for them to be successful is not a bad thing, but unfortunately, the workers wage disparity is 500x less than that of an owner/CEO. There is somethng seriously wrong when a system is built upon that subterfuge, ; a system where workers produce everything but own less than the non-producers.
This contry is the beacon of freedom that allows you to be the full time student you are.
I also know darn well what the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution was and know the difference between that and what happened on 911.
9/11 was an open-door invitation to many things this country has done to turn the world against it. If we are to believe the official story of 9/11, which is still being questioned by academics, then we have to analyze it from a realistic perspective. Why would they attack us? Is it because they "hate our freedoms?". Or is it because we have bombed, maimed, and occupied their lands for many decades?
And I'm 23

Out of the kindness of their hearts I'm sure

BUT similar strategies were employed for getting public support for both world wars as well. The war itself, I don't think, is what you have quarrel with.
The strategy during the Cold War was pretty clear. Convince the American public that Communism will bring them into a fold of despostism and tyranny. Hell, what more evidence did they need with Stalin there wreaking havoc in the Soviet Union? Take one truth. Exploit it. Multiply the truth by 678,943= foreign policy based on a crusade of lies.

you know it's funny i don't believe alot of what I'm told by the government anymore, however I also think that it is the duty of every american to defend his country and way of life, I would not be opposed to a system where everyone must serve in the military for one tour of duty.
That is akin to slavery. No one should have to work for the military-industrial complex if they don't want to.
The world is a sh#t hole and the states are protecting you from it.
They are the ones that create the conditions ripe for what you described in the latter!
