American patriots?
I thought that all American Patriots died when the US was turned from a
Constitutional Republic to a Democracy, and the FED took over control of the
monetary system. What remains is more like Plato's Cave vs. the daylight of
the past, and even with that daylight we were still in the cave, with many
asking and pulling us back.
It's not as if the rest of the world is any different. The birthplace of
the famous George Orwell is now laden with cameras. The people that read
his books tried to avoid their fear, but for some reason their fear seems to
be attacking them now.
That which we don't understand, and fear, tends to bite us again and again,
until we learn why it feels a need to bite us, perhaps then we realize that
we bite ourselves.
