Curious that the article makes zero mention of the repealing of the Smith-Mundt Act in 2013, giving free reign to the govmint to legally propagandize its own citizens. Horrifying how few Americans are aware of this, and how that information has been kept mostly secret from the public.

I subscribed briefly to Netflix and if you don't already know, it is unadulterated propaganda, filth, predictive programming, blood, necrophilia, and Jewish scatology. I am no prude and would welcome old-fashioned sex but it is twisted, demonic drivel.

For the totalitarian mind, adherence to state propaganda does not suffice: one must display proper enthusiasm while marching in the parade.

The US is an immoral bankrupt warmongering police state.

Those who warned about black helicopters and jack-booted thugs twenty years ago were called nutjobs.

Ten or fifteen years ago, patriotic and thinking Americans really started to worry about the direction of the USA.

Today most Americans know something is wrong, but they either don't know what or don't care.

The few Americans who are awake are increasingly becoming more pessimistic as the US obviously declines. The situation in USA looks hopeless.

Everyday the elites make more laws, the debt rises, wars are conducted, and Americans become more immoral.

Courts won't rule against unconstitutional laws, politicians don't repeal laws, the Gestapo has become more brazen, no one cares about government spending, wars are not being ended, and Americans are not flocking to churches and embracing morality.

Trump is either part of the establishment, naive, or being drugged or threatened to build the police state, increase the debt, and keep the wars going.

Some say the USA could last another 100 years, but that outlook seems unlikely.

Concerned Americans who once didn't take the US collapse seriously are wondering what to do.

Buying guns, gold, and food is good advice, but something more must be done other than just waiting for the US Ponzi economy to implode, riots to happen, Civil War 2.0 to break out, the concentration camps to open, and WWIII to start.

Having a few thousand prepared Americans won't do much good against the evil ruling class when they launch their final solution against the 99%.

The US needs millions of Americans to get out into the streets with pitchforks and torches now. Windows will need to be broken, people are going to be arrested, and people are going to die.

Americans must start making sacrifices today to wake people up, prepare, protest, and resist.

Americans need to talk to everyone to get the word out. Americans need to spend some money to start websites, print up flyers, and rent billboards.

If Americans remain quiet then there is nothing to stop the ruling powers from sending the 99% off to the gulags.

This is no joke.

Anyone who has eyes and studied a little bit of history can tell you what's going to happen.

We have to strike first. Now.

When the mass media in some foreign countries serve as megaphones for the rhetoric of their government, the result is ludicrous propaganda. When the mass media in our country serve as megaphones for the rhetoric of the U.S. government, the result is responsible journalism.
