    Being a citizen in the American corporate state is much like playing against a stacked deck: you’re always going to lose. The game is rigged, and “we the people” keep getting dealt the same losing hand. Even so, most stay in the game, against all odds, trusting that their luck will change.

    Let's hope that the US First Amendment isn't dead. The good citizens can still pick up the pieces , fight and claim hailstorms on the corrupt enemies in this battle for the American people.

    The media capitalizes, in every chance they get, in reeling hysteria in the political juggernaut. Citizens of the United States of America should start thinking for themselves and doing something in unmasking truth. (ex. Dem's Planned Parenthood's bloody billion-dollar abortion business funded by Federal government, and the mammogram deception.) According to Whitefield's book ( I haven't read it in its entirety), Democrats and Republicans are just name cover-ups for fascism, as well.

    History repeats itself. And people haven't learned. Israel has: "Never Again"!! :)

    Thank you @Ken Anderson for posting this whole article on the illusion of freedom in America. As I read every word of it, it was like I was reading Prophecy from the Bible about how life in America and the whole World will be like when the Antichrist comes into power. It has been clear to me for years that behind the scenes everything has been slowly put into place by those "elite" powers so that the one world government and one world leader (the antichrist) will step up and take his place at that exact moment in time that has been reserved for him. I have long felt that our Government Officials are nothing but puppets being controlled by those behind the scenes. And we the people have become puppets too although many of us don't even realize this. What many of we the people are realizing is that something is very wrong with America and our Government doesn't seem to give a damn about this. What we like about Donald Trump is hearing him speak the truth for a change and giving us hope that just maybe "We the people" can regain more than just the illusion of freedom here in America. As a Christian I like having hope...although my hope does not lie in Donald Trump or any other man or woman. This article speaks the truth and we need more truth these days even if that truth is not the truth we want to hear or understand.

    "The American People.
    “We the people” now belong to a permanent underclass in America. It doesn’t matter what you call us—chattel, slaves, worker bees, drones, it’s all the same—what matters is that we are expected to march in lockstep with and submit to the will of the state in all matters, public and private. Through our complicity in matters large and small, we have allowed an out-of-control corporate-state apparatus to take over every element of American society.

    Our failure to remain informed about what is taking place in our government, to know and exercise our rights, to vocally protest, to demand accountability on the part of our government representatives, and at a minimum to care about the plight of our fellow Americans has been our downfall.

    Now we find ourselves once again caught up in the spectacle of another presidential election, and once again the majority of Americans are acting as if this election will make a difference and bring about change—as if the new boss will be different from the old boss.

    When in doubt, just remember what comedian and astute commentator George Carlin had to say about the matter:

    The politicians are put there to give you the idea that you have freedom of choice. You don’t. You have no choice. You have owners. They own you. They own everything. They own all the important land. They own and control the corporations. They’ve long since bought and paid for the Senate, the Congress, the state houses, the city halls. They got the judges in their back pockets and they own all the big media companies, so they control just about all of the news and information you get to hear. They got you by the balls. They spend billions of dollars every year lobbying. Lobbying to get what they want. Well, we know what they want. They want more for themselves and less for everybody else, but I’ll tell you what they don’t want. They don’t want a population of citizens capable of critical thinking. They don’t want well-informed, well-educated people capable of critical thinking. They’re not interested in that. That doesn’t help them. That’s against their interests.

    They want obedient workers. Obedient workers, people who are just smart enough to run the machines and do the paperwork…. It’s a big club and you ain't in it. You and I are not in the big club. ...The table is tilted, folks. The game is rigged and nobody seems to notice…. Nobody seems to care. That’s what the owners count on…. It’s called the American Dream, 'cause you have to be asleep to believe it."

    As Americans, we are trained to seek redress of our grievances at the polling place, to believe that if only we could elect the right person, things will be better. I enjoy politics, and I get caught up in it too, as I am this season with Trump. I do believe that Trump offers the only hope we have of changing the agenda but Trump alone isn't going to put everything back on track, although perhaps he can set the stage. Unfortunately, the greater a candidate's chances of being elected, the less likely that he or she will do the right thing once elected. I know that sounds defeatist, but our founders (some of them, at least) realized that another revolution might be necessary.

    “The natural progress of things is for liberty to yield and government to gain ground.” -- Thomas Jefferson

    "If ever the Time should come, when vain and aspiring men shall possess the highest seats in government, our country will stand in need of its experienced patriots to prevent its ruin." -- Samuel Adams

    "If the federal government should overpass the just bounds of its authority and make a tyrannical use of its powers, the people, whose creature it is, must appeal to the standard they have formed, and take such measures to redress the injury done to the Constitution as the exigency may suggest and prudence justify." -- Alexander Hamilton

    "The great object is that every man be armed. Everyone who is able may have a gun." -- Patrick Henry

    "The spirit of resistance to government is so valuable on certain occasions, that I wish it to be always kept alive. It will often be exercised when wrong, but better so than not to be exercised at all. I like a little rebellion now and then. It is like a storm in the atmosphere." -- Thomas Jefferson

    "The accumulation of all powers, legislative, executive, and judiciary, in the same hands, whether of one, a few, or many, and whether hereditary, self-appointed, or elective, may justly be pronounced the very definition of tyranny." -- James Madison

    "Americans need never fear their government because of the advantage of being armed, which the Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation." -- Gouverneur Morris

    "The spirit of encroachment tends to consolidate the powers of all the departments in one, and thus to create whatever the form of government, a real despotism. A just estimate of that love of power, and proneness to abuse it, which predominates in the human heart is sufficient to satisfy us of the truth of this position." -- George Washington

    "The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is it’s natural manure." -- Thomas Jefferson

    Jeb Bush has dropped out of the race. In the past year, he burned through $ 130 Million dollars campaigning. In this morning's paper. He "tearfully" announced it. Tears for loss of the opportunity to prove to the people that he could provide great leadership, or tears for the loss of enormous sums of money? This process has become a sham.

    I agree that Trump is the only Candidate running who offers real hope of change. And I agree that Trump alone isn't going to be able to put everything back on track, in fact I don't know if he really has a chance of putting much of anything back on track since there are so many others in Government that have a say in what changes, etc. too. If Trump and those who have a say can't come together and agree on the changes...there will be none. So no matter how much Trump might want to do the right thing, he can't do it all by himself. I'd like to think there are many in our Govenment just as fed up with the way things are and that they are all just waiting for Trump to lead them into standing up and helping him bring real change about. But are there?

    I also know that there is a good chance that if those behind the scenes feel Trump is a threat to them and their agenda...they will not hesitate to "take him out" just as they have done with others in the past.

    I don't think Trump really understands what he may be heading into...but if he gets there...it won't take him long to come to that understanding and the very fact of reality that he probably "bit off" more than he can chew! This is one thing I hope I am proven wrong about.

    It is like buying a lottery ticket, or going to a casino you get high hopes that you will finally win. The deck is stacked but they still go to the voting booth thinking it will be different this time.

    That and worse by far.
    It is a stacked deck, and groups that want support are pretending they can help or change things for better.
    Not only can they not change things for the better, since the stacked deck includes them, they cannot improve anything.

    Don't watch this if you got the toxins injected.
    This short three minute video shows clearly why you did.
