The skeleton bone crew with ancient equipment...me ridd'in this dynosour


"The means of defense against foreign danger historically have become the instruments of tyranny at home" - James Madison: US fourth president, 1751-1836

"This and no other is the root from which a tyrant springs; when he first appears he is a protector" - Plato: Ancient Greek philosopher (428/427-348/347 B.C.)

"The welfare of the people in particular has always been the alibi of tyrants, and it provides the further advantage of giving the servants of tyranny a good conscience" - Albert Camus: French novelist, essayist, and playwright.1957 Nobel Prize for Literature. 1913-1960

"Perhaps the most obvious political effect of controlled news is the advantage it gives powerful people in getting their issues on the political agenda and defining those issues in ways likely to influence their resolution.": W. Lance Bennett - Author, professor at University of Washington Source: News: The Politics of Illusion, 1983

"Make men wise, and by that very operation you make them free. Civil liberty follows as a consequence of this; no usurped power can stand against the artillery of opinion.": William Godwin - (1756-1836)






















The path we are on is mass suicide. We send our youths to blow up foreign countries, protect their borders and leave ours wide open. While the rest of the world grows to hate us for the untold damage/murder we do.

 The unknowing U.S. citizen is left at the mercy of dangers too numerous to list in this venue. Political correctness is doing its job; it is murdering Western civilization. Immorial relitivsm is winning … we are headed back to the jungle with little resistance because of the loss of our founding concepts. The Enlightenment has been snuffed, which means the death of individual freedom. The Third World will engulf us as the barbarians did Rome.
 
No one will gain except the elite few who hold the reins of power, and history repeats itself over and over, always to the detriment of individual life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Our nation had its chance and squandered it; pity the young and those to come.
