The Day the World Watched as Freedom Died

As I sit here writing this article, I cannot stop thinking about the day that this article will be banned. The government is going too far and the world is eagerly handing over more power to an elite few that are dead-set on undermining personal freedom and taking full control of the populations that they were sworn to protect.

    Yeah man. I learned this stuff from an anarchist professor I had a long time ago. The world is getting worse… I wish there was something we could do about it.

    I know what you mean – what kind of world are we giving our kids & grandbabies…pretty sad. I think I’ll go back to wishing for a big sky rock – at least that way everyone’s on an even playing field.

    That was 1 very long but fascinating article. I read all 4 pages and didn’t get my own submission written today. You have obviously done heaps of research. I don’t think that even the politicians in the States know as much about their own government as you – in fact I saw a tv journalist’s “man on the hill” interviews with several elected officials who admitted on camera that they don’t fully understand the electoral process.
    You have reached the 1 scary but inevitable conclusion, but I think you left out the 1 truth that God will one day shake this world and recreate it.

    Wow, outstanding and incredibility accurate unfolding of events leading to the ultimate destruction of civilized society. What’s really scary is that most of these things are actually being considered by world leaders and governments. I heard just the other day that Durfur is being used as a test model for population control. Just blame it on the terrorists and then have a reason to continue starting and fighting wars, while creating billions of dollars for wealthy corporations and the wealthiest people on the planet.

    We are to blame for it all, because we say and do nothing to stop our out-of-control politicians from causing this worldwide mess that they created of the decades. The politicians are the ones with the power to vote once elected to office, so it is their responsibility to vote to stop the killing of millions of innocent men, women and children, just for the sake of population control and/or religious domination/replacement.
