"it's downright frightening."
Fear strangles rationality, and mass fear creates irrational mobs.
Remember what Ben Franklin said, Those who surrender freedom for security, will not have or deserve either one.
One has to ask, Why do we still live under the fear inspired Patriot Act and it's loss of freedoms, while everyone is emotionally pleading to bring in to the US the Islamic refugees that the US has been bombing and traumatizing?
The "national press", which is a conglomerate of 6 corporations that filter the news in partnership with the government has given us false narratives that has created wars under false pretenses going back to the Vietnam War, a broken political system controlled by money, while promoting the status quo as our only possible salvation.
I believe, social liberals are unknowingly linking with the Deep State (CIA) to deliver us into a world their fears will create to control and smother the freedom of thought.
What's wrong with my thinking?
