Of course there are many people in America who are looking to the government for the help to get through these tough times, because the government is like a father to them. If you need, the government will provide. Unfortunately, this is not what the American government is supposed to do, it is supposed to protect us from outside threats and keep other governments from any hostile actions. In fact it is supposed to keep a watchful eye on the charters of corporations, protect the people, print currency and maintain good fiscal policy. Thomas Jefferson said in 1802:‘I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around the banks will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered.’

When did the government make the transformation into a police station of the country? Are all Americans that bad, that they need to be supervised that much? Nowadays the police harass people so that the local governments can extract funds from them. As of 2005 2.2 million Americans were in prison with a population of approximately 300 million (the most in the world), compared to 1.5 million in China with a population of approximately 1.33 billion. There are a few bad eggs out there, and those could easily be handled by the states and their respective county or city governments, isn’t that the way it is supposed to be? Yet people are divided by Democratic and Republican party lines so that they fight amongst each other instead of keep an eye or an ear open to the goings on in their government. A good tactic for keeping the masses busy while pundits stuff their pockets with loads of cash given to them by corporations who want laws changed in order that they might do business more profitably without regard to the well being of citizens.

Aside from the two-party system Americans have been led to fear their government. People have to be careful not to speed, drive without our papers, to not have insurance, to park on the wrong side of the street, to yell at a police officer, no getting mad in public at your kids either, question the government, say anything that could be considered terrorist-ic (but who even really knows what a terrorist is, and as far as the home grown terrorist act that was passed is concerned it could be anyone). Fearing the government will produce a few long-term scenarios, one of which will be dissent, another will be societal enslavement.

JFK, Lincoln, Washington and a few others warned us about the possibility of this occurring within our government. Americans fought a revolution to escape the persecution of English taxes and oppression. Americans fought to overcome the rule of a monarchy and became free. The constitution is necessary to maintain a free society. America’s politicians are taking advantage of people, now the people are being led into a pen, so maybe patriots need to take control of their flock and lead them away from this terrible pen they are being led into. If the American people would read the historical tactics that Nazi’s used to sway the public and implement their evil, they would be cautious and would not allow this current government to continue without supervision.

American people were once in control of their government, the American government is now in control of the people. Apathy is the quickest way to tyranny.

I, Derek Nelson born 1970, have spent the past eight years studying global economics and global politics. I believe that the current global community needs truth and a media outlet that is not built on politics or owned by large corporations. Truth in news can only create a larger and more advanced society built on the reality of what is, rather than built on what corporations what you to buy. Talk to your neighbors and begin a dialog of what you deem to be important. Question your government, it is your duty.
