Those who say there is no room for political violence in America ignore the government’s routine use of political violence over the last 75 years. From Jacob G. Hornberger at fff.org:
Notwithstanding the near-assassination of former President Trump, I could not help but find a bit of humor in the response of Republicans, Democrats, and mainstream-press commentators to the shooting — the response that says that there is no room for political violence in American society.
Are they kidding? How can any reasonable person not guffaw at that statement? Ever since the U.S. government was converted into a national-security state form of government after World War II, perpetual political violence — as well as the threat of political violence — has formed the basis of America’s governmental system.
It’s impossible to know exactly how many people that the U.S. government has killed in the last 75 years but it has to number in the millions. That’s nothing to scoff at. That’s a lot of dead people. When it comes to killing, there is no doubt that the Pentagon, the CIA, and the NSA have made America Number One.
Invasions, occupations, wars of aggression, undeclared wars, coups, state-sponsored assassinations, bombings, shootings, kidnappings, torture, indefinite detention, dark sites, Gitmo, inciting conflicts between other nations, alliances with and foreign aid to brutal regimes, the drug war, the war on immigrants, sanctions, embargoes, and more.
But, but, but, muh shining cess ridden filth hole of corruption beacon?
Mah Manifest Destiny?
No wonder skullcaps found a home here.
Breaking-Evan Gerskovich sentenced to 16 years in RF prison, teevee shows Blinkie the Clown, so glad the sound is down.
Brandon is racking up those foreign policy genius victories left and right, so historic, yes we can!
The Triune secrets are not secrets that protect the country but protect those involved in the assassination’s and mass murder for profit in foreign lands. America creates most of its enemies by meddling in the affairs of others. It exports terrorism and then finds that it is reluctantly importing it. Trump coaxed the Iranian general out telling him that he would be safe then assassinated him. The USA has a long history of meddling in Iran’s affairs, removing their democratically elected president and installing the Shah. The CIA then instructed the Shah on how to keep the populace in line with the SAVAK (Black Police). What was that payment for that Obama sent (Pallets of billions of dollars), made the news briefly, claiming to pay them not to be our enemy.
I don’t think this country is in a place where it can be brought back to what a limited republic is. The Deep State is too entrenched.
