I think more needed to be done for our veterans who give it all up so we can have peace.
The moment a State, or government, is created it exerts power over the citizens to accomplish the goals of the State. Originally the US Constitution limited the federal government to 20 duties... all other duties being relegated to the individual states. The Founders knew that the State could and would abuse the citizens it was created to serve. They knew the only hope was to limit the State and to "bind it with the chains of the Constitution." Alas, the ink was not dry on that document before men were devising ways to corrupt the original intent in order to amass power or wealth. Now, we have a very powerful State that essentially owns it's citizens but controls them for the benefit of the State ( and those who benefit from the State). The State has become the dreaded entity from Star Trek: The Borg. "Resistance is futile. You will be assimilated." Unfortunately, the trend has been and remains that humans are willing to trade their freedom and self-responsibility in exchange for providence and care and safety from the paternal State. We now serve the State, which essentially owns us, instead of the State serving us, who own it.
How to reverse this hideous situation? It can only happen in one of two ways, in my opinion. The first is that the State utterly fails (like the former Soviet Union), which it may. The second way to end the States domination of it's citizens is for each person to accept personal responsibility for self government, or local essential government. Personal responsibility, that is our only hope. This, in my opinion, can only come from a evolutionary development of higher awareness, or a higher conscious of the proper role of limited government. I suspect we will have to let the pendulum swing back to freedom before that will happen, and most likely it will only come through some national catastrophe or calamity. You see, humans like it when someone else, or in this instance, the State, assumes responsibility. Only through a higher awareness of the necessity for freedom and individual responsibility will things change. And eventually it will. In the meantime we carry the torch of Freedom and let it shine brightly. Truth will prevail...but it may take time.
I know this is all impractical theory, so to speak. It does not solve the problem of the Vets. But how do you get the vets to be responsible for the mistreatment they receive? Apparently, very few want to be responsible enough to demand change. This is exactly what I'm saying: people are less and less responsible and have less and less personal power when they suckle at the teat of the State.
Perhaps national bankruptcy is the only way out. But then the International Bankers will roll out their longed for International currency and government to Save Us. I promise you people will beg for the One World Government to do just that. And on and on it goes, until finally, that collapses too.
So you see, ultimately the only solution to government abuse is for the people themselves to realized they must be self responsible. There is no other way.
The act of self-sacrifice is unethical. Your life is Your life. Self-sacrifice in the name of others is equal to the act of giving your life to the hands of others.
Very sad. So the VA is killing more troops than our enemies? Hopefully this guy survives and you can find him and meet with him. Have you tried getting in contact with the Trump administration?
Video really special thank you for the wonderful information
A truly distinguished book
I never thought I'd see this in America. So damn sad... I hope Trump can fix the VA soon. If only the Republicans would stop obstructing their own party, the good ones are actually trying to get something done. We need to vote these idiots out NOW. I'm sick of this government. The Dems are finished too. WE MUST VOTE IN SELF-DEFENSE!
it's a great trick but you can only do it once.
Thank you @adamkokesh this amazing post.
Damn straight slacker! haha jk. Glad to see you posting again. tough subject man, heart wrenching :( I hope marijuana becoming legal will help this issue. I'm in your corner man. This has been out of control for far too long!
This just shows how horrible the sitiation is for our vets!! Uncle sam only cares about pumping money into the war machine to line the pockets of the fat cats who would never let there kids join the military, but we all know if the rich man kid did go, he would be an officer and sit in his nice house sipping on cognac while the enlisted man do the work!!!
Also all this fucking spam on this post,is really sicking as well!! WTF people
The spam is on this post because this account rarely engages with commenters, yet uses delegated Steem to self-upvote at high amounts disproportionate to actual engagement/attention, thus attracting spammers. As engagement is very poor, thoughtful commenters tend to not return after one or two unengaged attempts. Thus we have the perfect combination for the growth of repeated spam comment threads on each new post.
Oh damn, great point.
