Everything you have been taught by the US government has been a lie.
The US is not the land of the free. It is, in fact, one of the least free places in the world with the largest concentration camp population, per capita, by a large margin and the biggest extortion racket in the world, extorting Americans via the IRS for more than $2 trillion per year.
The US is not the home of the brave. If it were, the American people would not allow the US government to constantly scare them into giving up what freedoms they have left.
The President of the US is not the "leader of the free world". He is the misleader of a fasco-communist dictatorship and empire that is currently destroying much of the world.
But, some Americans, dumbed down after 12 years of government indoctrination camps, fluoride in the water and deluged with government propaganda in the media, actually think the US government is there to protect them!
That's the furthest thing from the truth. The US government is there to extort and enslave them. And when it can't get enough wars going to keep people scared into submission, it starts some more.
