By not trusting your govt and its agencies, they are more likely to believe whatever the other party is saying, even if it goes against their interest. People are not willing to work together and any progress is either stopped or slowed down. With the govt fearing the people, they are reluctant to make any announcements or become more transparent about policy because they fear that people could miscontrue the intentions or become influenced by malicious third parties or disinformation. So the govt, especially the people in it, finds it more worthwhile to pursue their own private goals than accomplishing national or state goals.

It isn't illegal or immoral to attack bad guys and save millions if not billions of lives. It's ALWAYS a tough call, but POTUS has rights, responsibilities, and is ELECTED to the office. POTUS can't be guilty of crimes other than U.S. Law; only WE THE PEOPLE can be. Sadam made binding agreements to stay in power after Gulf War. Then he broke them a dozen times. He had been bragging about having WMD. He was also a devout pan-Arabist. China is hard to deal with but at least they don't hate us. A pan-Arab entity would HATE us, and would definitely prefer to deal with either China and Russia. If we were too hippie to nip that in the bud early, you could say good-bye to Ukraine, Taiwan, and Israel just for starters. How was it illegal? The U.S. President is only subject to U.S. Law. POTUS can break treaty agreements and commitments as he sees fit unless they are made U.S. Law by Congress. Some are, some aren't. Not that it was legally necessary but U.S. Congress did pre-approve the war. unanamously except for Obama if memory serves. I was against Iraq 2 but I was young and dumb. I've lived a LOT, seen thing, far more educated, far wiser now. Zinn, Chomsky, etc are GREAT Americans. We would be totally screwed without them. That said, they are only a part of the puzzle that is understanding the Worlds' realities. U.S. power and willingness to use it keeps a whole lot of badness in check. It's OUR job, yours and mine, to keep it honest.

Locke -- once where the monarch can do as he likes as long as he does not threaten one's life (Hobbes) versus the monarch violating basic "endowed by our creator" rights. That's an essentially conservative idea, not revolution for the sake of overturning the existing establishment -- one can have a conservative revolution, it just depends on whether what is being overturned (such as an radical leftist regime), and what is being put in its place, like one that observes long held and established rights (American Republic). The Whigs were out of power during most of the Revolution, but they were in a coalition by the time of the Peace of Paris at the end (1783), and the PM was a former Whig -- but 1770s British domestic politics is not what I'm talking about.

Communists have almost completely destroyed everything America was intended to be, but God will not be mocked. Judgment and correction is happening and these communists will not be in power for long. America has been declared by God to be a land choice above all other lands and whosoever will possess the land will possess it in righteousness or they will be swept off and this is according to the Abrahamic Covenant God made with Abraham and those under the said covenant...... When George Washington took the oath of office, he understood and swore to uphold this covenant on behalf of all people who would possess this land going forward. What you are witnessing now is a retraction of those blessings of that covenant. When there is a retraction of blessings, it happens in reverse order in which the blessings were given; the overwhelming majority of people living in America today are completely unaware of this covenant and the consequences for breaking that covenant. Communism has been in the United States now for over 100 years and their infrastructure is strong and deep and permeates all levels of government, all parties, and all factions of society ….. Especially within the media. These same people who have commandeered the government are in control of all governments around the world now and they are in the process of establishing a global communist centralized one world government as we speak.

Well it wasn't there before April 1948. Another description of what takes place has to do with the rise of "Global Consciousness" , this is the idea that people will have in their minds that they don't need God because they can all join together, solve their own problems and create their own reality ...and this is exactly what Zinn and others like him are trying to do right now .They are in rebellion against God's design for sexuality , God's design for family, God's design for a just and merciful society, and they will replace it with a counterfeit that will deceive everybody . The end result , the Bible says , is that God will judge the world for it's evil in turning against his designs , and over a half of the world's people will die through the judgements God sends upon them in a seven year period . Some of those judgements are , burning of a third of all trees , poisoning of drinking water , strange creatures that sting like scorpions , the sun darkened and not giving it's full light, the cessation of all wind , famine , economic collapse , people butchering each other in the streets...others eaten by wild animals as they try to flee the cities and hide in the countryside...100 pound hailstones falling . The Bible says that a slick , smooth talking world leader will arise , and will have miraculous powers so that people will actually worship him because he appears to have the answer to the world's problems . This world leader will be arrogant , and will force everyone to take his mark of ownership on their right hand or forehead, without which they will be prevented from participating in the economic system ( not allowed to buy or sell anything)...the Bible calls that world leader "the man of lawlessness" and " the man of sin" or " the anti-christ ". No doubt you've heard of this , but through pop-culture which doesn't explain who this person really is and how they will all be deceived by him. I call him "the final Hitler " because in many ways he will do exactly what Hitler did...including signing a peace treaty with Israel, and then attacking them and slaughtering half of them right in Israel. Now is the time that God is preparing America and the world for judgement. He allowed Donald Trump to be elected so that the enemies of God would become enraged and start putting in place the evil that they will be judged for. Joe Biden is preparing America and the world for that judgement by continually supporting everything that is ungodly , abortion, LGBT sexuality , giving the "weeds" in society the power to accuse "the vegetables" of corrupting the garden.

Othering is again a community thing which has nothing to do with family... which also has nothing to do with the post of which you are replying.

I have to respectfully disagree with you on your point of religion. While there are over 30,000 legal 'religions' in the US, from the questionable Spaghetti Hats to the sublime Hare Krishnas, few can be considered as authentic. Of those perhaps there is but a sliver of genuine participants that actually follow the precepts sincerely as set out by its founder. They do not make their religion look bad. But it does not mean that the religion is poisonous - its those who are ignorant of the precepts the religion holds. We live in dark and confusing timez. Yet we choose to be blind, deaf and dumb to the coldness in our hearts. Religion is not to be blamed, it is the fool who cares not to take an honest look at himself and try to purify his existence, preferring to cast stone on others. Jesus understands this as does any saintly soul - of which there are many more than anyone can ever imagine. Remember that God is the founder of actual religion, and he is all-perfect. But if one doesn't believe in God, Krishna, then what purity can that person ever bring to this world? And if one wants to challenge the reality of God, then speculation that He doesn't exist is all they have. So what such non believer is unwittingly saying is that man is the poison, not religion. KZread and indeed the world is full of such characters who fail to see the truth for want of their own opinion. Why is it a surprise to anyone that it has always been mankind that is full of poison and confusion, despite being so capable of love and truthfulness?

@@GalacticNovaOverlord You have found NOTHING of titanic interest. I am from Canada. About 15 years ago I was a lefty. I wanted to learn who invented and imposed income taxes among other things. I watched a series of informative videos that explained all kinds of the multiple reasons requiring taxation. The key reasons were that the country leaders who authorized the colonization of so called heathen lands treated the entire situation as a huge profit making investment scheme upon which they imposed a loans and interest charging as the structure for it all. After the late 1700s US revolutionary war, the UK king in the Paris peace treaty set forth all of the terms where he would not be as hands on with the leadership, but the return on investment the king still expected it as usual to keep rolling into his coffers. I think that the outstanding debt may have been sold a couple of times since that time, but the compounded interest on that investment still remains ongoing for whoever last made the debt purchase. It turns out that the debt grows exponentially fast and without bound not only due to deficits where collected taxes are insufficient to pay for government services plus debt servicing interest payments, even more debt is issued by way of government bonds and Treasury Notes lumped into the total debt principal. The objective to have central banking imposed originates from international bankers based out of Europe who also sponsored leftism including more recently Marxism as explained in their manifesto, starting several centuries ago or perhaps even before that. These guys endorse the philosopher Hegel's method of building up then burning down society via periodic or iterative revolutions and the making of laws that criminals do not obey, and after many cycles Utopia shall result. Trouble is that Utopia literally means No Where. And that the outcome is a delusional pipe dream. The entire thing is a money making scam for royalty of various kinds. This can be proven with a mental exercise involving the entire economy starting out as only $1 borrowed into existence centuries ago. While the economy remains only $1 in circulation, the debt principal owing has grown hugely. The entire economy of currency in circulation of $1 cannot repay the owing debt principal similar to how all Western nations have been similarly tricked. kzread.info/dash/bejne/iaCfrNp_Yrazado.html Dean Stockwell hosts Phenomenon - The Lost Archives - Monopoly Men - The Federal Reserve System When I looked this up, Wikipedia said that Dean Stockwell died November 2021 or so at age 85 of natural causes in New Zealand.

Except that he wrote and spoke communist propaganda sophomoric dogma, intended to affect people emotionally, and had no scholastic credibility. His intellect was that of a prosletyzing evangelical communist, and his goal was the destruction of America so it could be replaced with a communist utopia, along the lines of the regimes of his heroes: Joseph Stalin, Mao, Ho Chi Minh, Pol Pot, Fidel Castro, and Daniel Ortega, among others. Those of us who had seen or heard communist propaganda in the 50's and 60's recognized what he regurgitated nearly verbatim, often in rambling snarky condescending tone, and promptly dismissed it as the unintellectual garbage, totally unsubstantiated manipulative drivel that it was. No legitimate historian accepted any of his work, because he so obviously either used no sources at all, just opinion or communist talking points, or cut-and-pasted material to make a historical figure say the opposite of what they really said. This was proven when their actual diaries or letters were checked. Howard Zinn's "truth" was the communist religion, pure and simple. It was a hateful, bigoted one at that. He offered only anger, no workable solutions. He reduced extremely complex historical events that were affected by social issues, ecology, geography, economics, politics, population trends, languages, religious trends, and technological changes to sound bytes. He had no original insight into anything profound. Scholars with any intellect don't do that. Polemicists who hate their country and bear a grudge do.

@@focusfrost9856 Your rambling stridulous polemic was more dogmatic, then anything that Howard Zinn uttered in his video!

The problem with hollow headed people from the Right is that when they hear an unfavorable criticism of anything about American history and or its current policies their childish heads go into an immediate lockdown to truth and then all they hear is an echoing sound of "La,La,La,La, I can't hear you" until one fine day the result of your anti-free speech and anti-freedom to dissent, and Un-American B/S will hit home and like all idiots who thought a "My way or the highway" is the way to live realize it's too late and then they will actually find out what it's like to live in an Authoritarian State and it's no longer YOUR HIGHWAY!!!!

Ridicule ends all leaders, and all empires. The moment that pinpoints the fall of the British Empire can be pinpointed to the Suez Canal Crisis in 1956. London assumed Washington would back them for the sake of their Israeli alliance and to expose the muslim brotherhood nationalisation of the main strategic asset of the Empire (The Suez Canal). This islamic "attack" was a sort of English 9/11, and it was at the height of the Cold War with the Soviets. From this point forward, The Empire went into military and economic decline, eagerly assisted at every opportunity by a cohort of marxist infiltraitors in The House Of Commons and elsewhere through the Empire itself. The playbook was so successful marxists in the USA made similar infiltration over the following decades and this peaked in 2008 with the election of Obama...
