Honestly to tell you the truth i used to have full trust in our government until they started spitting out and stuttering on obvious lies after the Kennedy incident, after they started lying on all that, i lost absolutely every single last bit of trust i had in our government, and i still don't trust then at all, and honestly neither should you.
Think about this for a second, why do we still trust them now?
1. they defend us from invasions
2....... yup thats right there is no second, they say there fighting things like inflation but there not, it they wanted to truly fight inflation they would take there precious money machine and rip out the plug and start paying the debt with there own money from taxes and junk, not just print print print, more, the more they print to pay there debt the lower its value, they way i see it, with in 30 years we will need a tuck full of money just to get a gallon of milk or a loaf of bread, think about it people. our government, is screwing us over no matter how you look at it if you just take the time to actually think.
Speaking of the government screwing us and the post above mine about them having the will to use our guns, well i can tell you this much when martial law decides to rear its head, i wont be afraid to fire upon our own supposed "Protectors", to protect my family from getting dragged to one of supposed "FEMA housing developments" those are prisons for us to die, not small housing communities, think about this for 1 second WHY IN THE HELL DO THEY ALL HAVE BARBED WIRE FACING INWARD? THAT IS DONE TO KEEP PEOPLE IN NOT OUT. Think about that one everyone and i hope you see things a bit differently and start to see things as they truly are.
