A couple of trillion dollars later and Americans STILL are forced to hear from Al Zawahiri

It is a bit amazing that our government, after spending upwards of three trillion dollars, advertises the speeches of Ayman Al-Zawahiri. We spent all that money for the wars and the surveillance state and we STILL have to listen to this asshole? If the goal is to scare us back into compliant, safety seeking units of production, it has failed! I am infinitely more pissed off that after all that blood and money we have spent and the rights that have been taken from us we are still hearing from this douchebag!

We deserve our money back for all of it! We deserve to have that money back to spend on things that ACTUALLY SAVE AMERICAN LIFE! Things like healthcare, jobs programs, education and infrastructure.

Rather than being afraid of anything Zawahiri is saying or doing, I am pissed that I have my government advertising that this guy is still out there and that I should be afraid of him. The only thing I fear now is that the people that have built this abomination of a surveillance system will begin openly using it to secure political power and protect the 1%'ers at our expense. That is what I am afraid of. Fuck Al Zawahiri and fuck the incompetent assholes stealing oceans of our money that have demonstrably failed to catch this guy but never fail to make sure all of us know the evil bullshit he spews.

It's all a scam! Zawahiri is scamming his followers just as our MIC is scamming all of us. It is a symbiotic relationship of assholes!

All the leeches -- from psychopathic religious fundamentalist to bank-protecting MIC surveillance agent -- and all the enablers and apologists in-between -- all need each other.

Indeed, all feed off each other.

As they feed on the rest of us.
