Those manipulating the minds of the masses through mass media propaganda, government school indoctrination, and complete control of the narratives spun by those who want to destroy our nation, have convinced the masses wrong is right, abnormal is normal, deviant is ordinary, lies are truth, slavery is freedom, ignorance is understanding, dependence is liberty, government is here to help, and thinking for yourself is dangerous.<\/h2>\n<h2>I don\u2019t fit into this world and I don\u2019t want to fit into this world. I do believe we are headed for a myriad of simultaneous catastrophes, and after we allowed our government, media, culture, and society to be hijacked by evil men with evil intent, we deserve what is coming. We\u2019ve turned our back on the country we were given by our founders, and the community standards\u00a0 required\u00a0 to maintain that country. You ultimately reap what you sow and we will eventually sit down to a banquet of consequences. I don\u2019t know when, but I sense it won\u2019t be long.
