Everything you said in your first paragraph is correct and I agree with it. I would like to point out what the armies and other countries now look like. I couldn't imagine our citizenry having to go up against them and stand even the slightest chance. The Liberty quote, Franklin, yes. The History quote, Twain/Clemens. One of my favorites: Suppose you were an idiot, and suppose you were a member of Congress; but I repeat myself. (Twain.) "How many times have we heard about governments killing millions of their own people?" The only answer I can think of is, just before jewish bolshevik communism was installed. So all of the jewish bolshevik communistic countries eg. 10 million in the Ukraine (alone.) "How many children die every year at the hands of their own government?" We don't know. I maintain the suspicion that if we did know, we would instantaneously experience a revolution. Not just against the government itself, but also against the plutocrats.
