      Yeah. Unfortunately it's a rare thing. You know what scares seasoned people in the truth community the most? It's not the "bad guys" you can name off the TV, or a list of secret societies etc. Nope, it's that 9/10 people can't think for themselves.
      Living in a democracy (or a republic) makes no difference Vs a dictatorship, if the media control what 9/10 people think. They are going to think and vote whatever they are told to do.
      It frustrates the people who can think because it's so easy and obvious to point things out, but we get frustrated because they can't see it.
      Some might recall a few years ago a photo did the rounds on social media and then the news, world wide, of a dress. some people thought it was brown and others yellow (I forget exactly what colours).
      The point is, everyone saw either one colour or the other, and couldn't agree, even though they are looking at the same thing.

      For the most vulnerable (the disabled, the elderly, the bereaved, the orphaned, the abused), a 'nanny' state is completely justified. This is the nature of a true society and civilisation with centralised and regulated welfare. Americans live in one of the most unequal countries in the world, and the ruling rich there have successfully brainwashed the majority to hold beliefs which don't benefit them. It's mind-boggling to see such a continued lack of nuance and class consciousness as a European (not that we don't also have a multitude of problems). Freedom, opportunity, entrepreneurship, the right to bear arms, can all exist sufficiently in a far more fair and efficient form than in the States currently. Indeed, quality of life has been dwindling there for the majority for a long time as you move towards oligarchy and oligopoly, believing you have democracy

      @Jbog07 typical right wing comment. You get that bs from Fox News? Data not only shows the economy thriving under democratic politics but I personally am progressive and supported Bernie sanders agenda. You represent the “grand old party”. The folks who are stuck in 1960. I supported it then, but no longer do now as times have changed. You forgot to mention low taxes for companies but not consumers. You forgot to mention border security exists, and trump only ran on a wall that’s been disproven to work and a giant waste of tax payer money. You forgot to mention Jared Kushner admitting to trump tanking the economy in order to provide the perception that he’ll save it for his re-election. You forgot to mention the endless crimes republicans have been indicted for to include trunp, and utilizing insider politics to try to get out of it but failing because social media no longer allows for that shit show to keep taking place. Rioting and looting? Are you done watching Fox News? Second amendment? Please tell me where Obama restricted gun rights. Or Clinton. Last I checked Beto ourke tanked his chances as a senator for promoting the thought of banning the second amendment. Maybe it is you that needs to stop watching the news and crying on the internet when the five who sit on multi million dollar salaries cry to you about how the left is destroying America. Again, Kushner himself said it. Not me. Not cnn. Not the Koch brothers or whoever the hell you think is a part of this “resistance” your so afraid of. And again, Franceze said it himself. If it weren’t for prohibition the mafia would have never become what it became in the 60s. They made their money and power off sales of illegal substances. Just like trumps grandfather did. Just like many other right wing organizations have. Pay attention nimwit. Your beloved NRA is currently under indictment by your own FBI for spending your money lavishly and laughing in your face. It’s pitiful watching people like you defend this, and feeling but hurt when these people off themselves after getting caught. Whose side are you on?

    Best description I've ever heard of Niccolo Machiavelli, "He wrote the book on stabbing someone in the back."
    I have to agree with Michael Franzese on much of this. We The People, have allowed the government way too much power and control over us. I firmly believe that the founders envisioned a Federal Government that was very limited in scope. In the Constitution, the people granted the government certain, limited, rights and responsibilities. It was not the government granting the people certain rights, which the government could take away.

      @1337flite 4 года назад +3

      Technically for sure. But they control the money (Veto, fundig bills) and the appointments e.g.. DAs, Police Commissioners, so they'll never be proesecuted.
      In many cases the police themselves are vulnerable to RICO statutes - the gov just has not crossed that line yet, because none of them are clean eniough that they would survive RICO if it was pointed at them and at some point they know they'll reture or be voted out, so they don't want to set that precedent, because it will make them vulnerable later.
      E.g. do you have an organisaiton>? -Yes.
      Is their a respionbsible leader? Yes.
      Do they commit RICO predicate's? Yes.

I knew what he meant - just as you stated - but "family" is supposed to be good. So, I substituted "gang" for "family." We call members of the mafia, members of Cosa Nostra, gangsters. Sometimes it seems like our government - at all levels - is run by gangsters. Good comment, yours.
