> "America today would terrify the Founding Fathers. Armed troops roam the streets of major cities, masked government agents arrest people without probable cause and disrupt the public speech that the president hates and fears, and the president kills foreigners on the high seas whom he says might commit crimes should their small speedboats miraculously make it 1,500 miles to the United States."

> "Large groups of Americans and United Statesers will view the government as not only unimportant but an unnecessary and dangerous parasite. The average person may not recognize that right now, but the thought will eventually filter through.

But, in fact, it’s degenerated into something akin to a scam to justify the ruling class and the elite. Sometimes, it’s no better than a mob rule." -- [Doug Casey]() #GovtIsTheProblem

> Western peoples naively believe that they live in democracies over which voting gives them some control. The facts are entirely different. There are numerous governmental and semi-governmental organizations at work creating tyranny of which the insouciant masses are unaware. > > As the tyranny creeps, each generation is born into more tyranny and less freedom. As time passes, tyranny becomes the norm, and no one understands or even is aware of the transformation into thought and behavior control that has been accomplished. - Paul Craig Roberts #GovtIsTheProblem
If you think that they think they are public "servants", you are deluded. Like Voltaire said, if you want to know who rules over you, look at who you are not allowed to criticize. View quoted note β†’
