Still, no matter what the outcome., the things that our government is doing are wrong. The cables that were released on Wikileaks have been eye-opening to say the least. I'm an agnostic. I don't believe in God. I still know the difference between right and wrong. The way we manipulate governments and societies across the globe is wrong. We have become the enemy we fought when we waged war on Nazi Germany. We are no better than they were.
Our government should be concerned with the people it governs. We should protect our nation. That doesn't mean that we have the right to invade our citizen's personal freedoms and to subject our citizen's to unwarranted searches and seizures because of their political or religious beliefs. We all have a right to our own opinions, even if it differs from that of our government. Being different does not make one a criminal. That happened in Hitler's Germany.
The media should be free and unfettered. Now that corporate interests rule the mainstream media, thinking people only have the alternative media. Since the release of classified information by Wikileaks, we find that the government is seeking the authority to shut down the internet, the last bastion of free thought in a corporate ruled world. Americans of every persuasion should fight any attempt to shut down the World Wide Web. To do so would stop the flow of independent thought. It would curtail the give and take of independent ideas.
We are in perilous times. The "terrorist threat" is all-pervasive. The reality is that the United States has been the greatest recruiting tool for any terrorist organization. We want to control the world's resources. That is the ultimate quest. If there is a nation that has resources the United States needs, they can expect clandestine agents first, and if that fails, the U.S military later.
How long will the American people put up with this? Until they know the truth"it will be when we subjugate the world or the world puts an end to the United States.
