Cynic on A Soapbox

Our nation is not and never has been a champion of democracy or a defender of freedom. These are lies that sheeple are told by their rulers to keep them quiet and passive. American sheeple will believe almost anything they’re told, provided the person saying it looks/sounds good. Sheeple then pass along these falsehoods to their children. The kids grow up believing it, because that’s what they’ve been told since birth, and tell the same lies to their children, and so the vicious cycle continues. It isn’t that they mean to tell lies to their children; they’re just repeating what they’ve been told since birth.

It’s hard for a person to come to his/her senses, overcome this brainwashing cycle, and take an honest look at the society around them. It usually takes a few traumatic experiences and a lot of research to find out the truth.

So, let me help wake you up in a slightly less painful manner than normally needed. It’s easy to go along with the joke, but please don’t just take my word – go do some research on your own. Remember though: the truth is often scarier than fiction.

George Washington was addicted to opium and took it every day of his presidency. Thomas Jefferson once stated, “Some of my finest hours have been spent on the back of my veranda, smoking hemp (marijuana) and observing as far as the eye can see.” The U.S. Constitution and Declaration of Independence were originally written on paper made of hemp.

The government’s employees will tell you that drugs like these destroy people’s minds, and they’re just trying to protect you. They’re right, to a certain extent, but then Washington and Jefferson both seemed to have very functional minds. Functional enough to begin the American government policy, that lasted until the 1930s, of exterminating the race of people indigenous to the North American continent. Hitler largely modeled his Holocaust against the Jews on this policy.

Iran hates America because, after Iranians overthrew a ruthless dictator who genocided his own people, the U.S. military placed the shah back in power. It was deemed better for American business interests to have him ruling Iran rather than the government the majority of Iranians wanted. After they overthrew their leader a second time, the U.S. gave weapons of mass destruction to its nearest neighbor, Iraq, who then engaged Iran in a war that lasted eight years and killed hundreds of thousands of people. The U.N. tried multiple times to end the carnage, but every attempt was blocked by the American delegation.

Israel, America’s top ally in the Middle East, has destroyed homes that have been in Palestinian families for centuries to make way for Jewish settlers ever since its founding.

Tell that to the next neo-conservative that claims Muslims from the Middle East hate us for our freedom and prosperity.

These are just some of the things your mom and dad didn’t tell you about your country, because they didn’t know either. Look all of it up; none of this information is hard to find.

I don’t hate America; I just can’t take the lies anymore.
