The Typical Objections..

are wrong dead wrong

Welcome, once again, to the asylum, as we plumb the depths of this clown world we live in and try to make sense of the insanity.  I hope you all have had a good week and got to see The Sound of Freedom. It is painful but excellent and if you haven’t, you really should go see it.  While I am sure you all know America is a great country, filled with great people. And while that is true, America also has one of the most wicked corrupt and villainous governments in the world.  We are a nation with a constitution that has been so violated that it is little more than a novel piece of American history and not the binder of government power it was intended to be.  While I don’t believe everything I hear or all the conspiracy theories, there are very few that I discount as impossible.  After this week post I hope that you never think or say “The government wouldn’t do that”, “They could never keep that secret”, or “That could never happen here”.  I never want you to think those things because they are wrong. The truth is the government has already probably done worse to its citizens, the government has kept horrible crimes with thousands of people involved secret for decades, and it is absolutely in the process of happening here.

To dissuade you of the idea that the government wouldn’t do that, couldn’t do that, or it wouldn’t stay secret, please consider these things the government has done.  In conducting Operation Sea Spray, the United States government sprayed the aerosolized bacteria Serratia Marcescens on San Francisco for six days in 1950 to see how effective a bio weapons attack would be without notifying the population or local government.  I was discovered that not only did the bacteria spread through the city and into the suburbs but resulted in human infection and one fatality.  Even after the infections and death, the government continued testing on other major cities until 1969 (if they stopped) and the public remained unaware until 1976 (here).  The government ran a program called MK-ULTRA (yes it really happened here), where not only did the government introduce LSD to the counter culture movement and promote its use, but they hired both Nazi and Japanese interrogators (war criminals) to teach techniques for breaking the human mind.  They also ran experiments on prisoners, military members, and American citizens without their consent, resulting in many of them not physically or mentally surviving the abuse (here, here, and here).

Being so close to the horrors of WWII and Korea, the American people weren’t all that enthusiastic about getting into another war and there was significant public resistance to even our advisory role in South Vietnam.  In an attempt to drive public approval and justify becoming more directly involved in Vietnam, the government needed a Pearl-Harbor-like moment.  When one wouldn’t present itself, the government made one out of whole cloth and we got the Gulf of Tonkin incident.  The government reported that the North Vietnamese attacked the destroyers USS Maddox and USS Turner Joy and that was used for the escalation (without declaration) of war in Vietnam, costing the lives of 1,353,000 people, both military and civilian.  The problem is the attack never happened (here).  There were questions and conflicting stories from the crews at the time, but the government insisted that the event occurred.  It wasn’t until the documents were declassified and obtained through a Freedom of Information Act request in 2005 that we learned the truth.
