We, the people of the United States, need to keep our eyes open.

No matter how hard the corporate media tries to put us to sleep.

The two parties also play good cop bad cop in wedge issues that kettle and herd us in a predetermined direction, and those goal posts keep drifting right.

But the herd has grown too big to fit through those narrow goalposts, and is headed in altogether different direction.

For the owners of War Inc, he turned a continent of buffalo into a dying herd of a few hundred. They also considered an entire continent full of peoples and nations: "Indian Trouble."

what sociopathic behavior is capable of, and THIS is why we have regulations, to keep these people who have always existed as part of society, from declaring open season on the rest. And hunters need to profile in order to know how to hypnotize their prey first.

Of course this is just a snippet of a much larger vital conversation.


Thank you
