Am I paranoid?

Question

I think the Federal Government is, and has been during my lifetime, working AGAINST actual freedom. Am I PARANOID?

Answer 1

No you are not paranoid
just have been led by the nose for a long time

Quote
we don't see the growing fascism in America and the world because we don't want to see it and because it happens somewhat gradually, which makes it almost imperceptible to those who don't think critically. Everything in your society--Nazi Germany or twenty-first
century America--seems so ordinary. and your country is being turned into a police state

As 1930s Germans and twenty-first century Americans wait, believing things won't get any worse--it's finally too late. The imperceptible changes have totally transformed you and your society into a totalitarian state. Self-deception has infected and reduced almost everyone.

The fact that Ivy League university professors and other supposedly intelligent persons think Bush's seizure of such police-state powers is okay, and the civilian and military cover-up of torture in American prisons in Iraq and Cuba, proves that the fascist mentality is rampant
in our society.

There couldn't be a police state in the U.S.," says Joe American, " because we don't see men in uniforms with swastikas on their armbands goose-stepping down our streets! "

" We can't be losing our freedoms," says Jane American, because I didn't see anything about it in the New York Times and Tom Brokaw said nothing about it on the evening news. "

our present "enemy" is our own conditioned lack of progressive awareness, our love of ease, our unwillingness to dispel our social and moral delusions, our headlong rush into the mindless attitude
that "everything is okay."

The horrible tyranny that is being created by the Bush junta is a threat to the entire world. For the first time in its history,
Western Civilization as a whole is in danger of being destroyed by a corrupt, criminal ruling cabal which is centered around the Rockefeller interests, which include elements from the Morgan, Brown, Rothschild, DuPont, Harriman, Kuhn-Loeb, and other groupings as well.
This junta took control of the political, financial, and cultural life of America in the first two decades of the twentieth century.

The Bush family, beginning with Prescott Bush, have served as satraps of the Rockefeller, Brown, and Harriman interests.
If some people are too unintelligent or morally deficient to see the tyrannous acts of the Bush administration, if some people are too cowardly to stand against those acts, it's still your individual responsibility as an American citizen to rouse them out of their daze.
Unfortunately it appears it will take at least one more 'al-CIA-duh'- style staged attack to provoke the populous into expelling the whole congress full of traitors and the hoards of other corporate lobbying cockroaches running around DC.
President Bush is simply a puppet of this powerful cabal, and their schemes will be carried out by whatever next president comes to power unless We the People deflect them from this insane, murderous plot for global dom-
inance.

Out of this modern civilization economic royalists carved new dynasties. New kingdoms were built upon concentration of control over material things. Through new uses of corporations, banks and securities, new machinery of industry and agriculture, of labor
and capital - all undreamed of by the founding fathers - the whole structure of modern life was impressed into this royal service. These economic royalists complain that we seek to overthrow the institutions of America. What they really complain of is that we seek to take away their power. Our allegiance to American institutions requires the overthrow of this kind of power. In vain they seek to hide behind the flag and the Constitution. In their blind-
ness they forget what the flag and the Constitution stand for. "

Answer 2

Not at all, but it hasn't just been the Federal Government. We willingly abandoned the concept of Freedom as designed by our fore fathers in 1865. When we accepted the Federal Republic system formaly ( After the American Civil War, Also known as the War Between the States, or the War of Northern Aggression ;). ) Since then we have slowly handed over more and more of our freedoms in the name of security. Or comfort . Remember as T. Jefferson once said " People who will trade freedom for security, will loose both and deserve neither"

Answer 3

No, you're not paranoid. Often any governement tries to take too much control over the private citizens. We can vote to try to keep corruption out, but we have to have someone who is good to vote for. That's why I belive that we could take a stand by starting a campaign to use the option of writing in a candidates name and voting for our own choice. We would all have to come together on who the write-in choice would be. We can do that by passing the word through the internet! Nobody has to vote by who is listed on the ballot! If we don't come together and decide on our who are write in choice would be, then we wouldn't be very likely to find a way to rid ourselves of corruption.

Answer 4

No, you can never trust the government. Look at all those empty promises that they tell people. What I want to know is, who are these people? Who are they to constantly lie to everyone all the time? How can they live with themselves? I think that American freedom is pretty well free, but it's other things. The government controls us all. I would like if these gov. people held a meeting to tell us exactly what they are doing to help us and we could also tell them how stupid they are.

Answer 5

No, the government is spying on us right now. They can trace and watch/listen/look at any Internet search, call, or text. They can seize our property whenever they wish, and they have drones and bugs planted everywhere. No, you are not a paranoid person.

Answer 6

Become part of the Government and find out.

Answer 7

no, i think so too. i think u should stand up for what u believe in.the government is working against actual freedom.if ur paranoid then so am i.

Answer 8

Well in a way it can be true, but it's really no big threat to us.

So, I wouldn't say you're paranoid, because if that is your opinion, then that is your opinion, so its okay.

But I wouldn't really worry about it too much. =]

Answer 9

no, in fact they are doing just that. the education system is designed to create people smart enough to follow direction but not smart enough to question them. the federal reserve is designed to monipulate wealth.

Answer 10

Yes you are...because YOU ARE THE GOVERNMENT
