    I’m not an American anymore, the law has banned me from that practice, the same way it’s banned men, family, and all things good and decent from all our lives.

    It’s become an abomination.

    I would like to think that at a board level the machine is pretty much intact but the operators are f~~~ing it up. Not all but just enough for it to run rough.

    I want to remain optimistic that eventually enough safe hands will be operating the machine again and it will run more smoothly.

    A few cog changes, a little bit of grease, repeal some of the hydraulics and hopefully -just hopefully it will keep running.

    But please -will someone drag that giant spanner with feminism written down its side out from the moving parts!

    It looks like it’s making a f~~~ing pigs ear of those big gears.

    Like I said before, NSA, CIA, FBI, State Department, all cover up agencies. The U.S. is a Rogue State that is a threat to all nations at this point. U.S. Foreign policy is linear despite what Presidents say to get elected. Nothing changes. Bush to Clinton to Bush to Obama to Trump, I can’t tell the difference. Some other force is driving the bus, because it sure as hell is not the President nor the peoples will being represented who elected them anymore, I don’t know how far back I have to go to see that it ever was at this point either. Maybe before 1913, maybe back to JFK, maybe back to 1971 when Nixon detached gold from the dollar completely to fun Nam’.

    Now, if Trump were actually locking people up, certainly Clinton and Obama, that would be a start, but it is not going to happen, because Clinton and Obama work for true masters, Trump is not rocking the boat enough to be shot I suppose and they will have him out in three more years.

    I said this before – it’s military who run things.
    Granted they don’t pass law and answer to the president but he also answers to the Generals.

    Allied nations military brass are in bed together and the governments are merely elected tax collectors, fund masters and law makers.

    Real decisions that involve the security of nations lies in military hands.

    It’s put simply here for the sake of clarity but the machine is obviously deeply connected complex.

    Actors on the stage, nothing more.

    I realised long ago that if you want political power, the one thing that you DON’T do is go into politics.

    What you do is go into business. Then you simply buy as many politicians as you need.

    Mgtower you are a fighter bro. The government may not treat you equally, but I applaud you for keeping your head up trying to maintain what you have left. You have my respect.

    Doc, if we can have a smaller government, get money out of politics, and rid of the industrial military complex then we can solve a lot of the problems both at home and abroad. The Founding Fathers did not want us to go this route so either we revert or wait for a collapse and rebuild a new system.

    Monk I agree with what you said modern day politicians differ very little from prostitutes. There’s no honor, justice, integrity with these people it’s all about the money and the amount of votes they can gain.

    And Joe, I’m with you on this matter and Trump promised us a lot of things that he didn’t deliver like reducing government spending, making mexico pay for the wall, cutting taxes on middle class, still involved in Syria, etc, etc. He made 36 promises day one of taking office. He fulfilled 2 and broke or ignored the remaining 34.

    On his first day in office, Trump broke 34 promises

    At the end of the day it doesn’t matter who your voting for.

    Generals get dismissed. Look at Douglas MacArthur. Vietnam war was run by politicians, people like Henry Kissinger. The generals do what they are told. The war in Iraq was thought up by the NECONS and the PNAC. The Generals just get handed a memo and told what to do…
