I posted this on another forum but thought it would fit here too.
I grew up in the 40s, 50s, and 60s. It was not just a different world, it was not even in the same galaxy as we are in now.
When I was in grammar school, I trusted everyone. I trusted my parents, teachers and the government. I remember the korean war. We would sometimes discuss it among the boys. We knew the U.S. had never lost a war and the thought of losing one never even occurred to us.
The first time I saw a crack in the wall of trust was when Eisenhower lied about the U2. My best friend said Eisenhower was lying but I did not believe it. When the facts came out, it really affected me.
The next thing was the media which I also trusted completely. I can remember wanting to take my little .22 and go join Castro in Cuba. He was the good guy.
There was a civil rights demonstration in my home town. The Blacks decided to swim in the lake which had been White only. There wasn’t even a place for them to swim.
Although I sort of felt for the Blacks, when I saw a news story about the demonstration, I realized the media was simply lying. What they said happened did not even remotely resemble what actually happened.
What actually happened was their Mothers came down and grabbed the boys and dragged them back home. I didn’t see any police involvement at all except they were there. The media had them blocking the demonstrators, embarrassing them, threatening them with beatings etc.
That was the first time I realized the media were liars.
By the time of the Viet Nam Was it was clear to me that not only were the media pro communist, the American government was so infiltrated with fifth columnists that we could not wage a real war, just a messing around war in which our soldiers were killed for nothing.
From that time to now the radical marxists, radical social leaders, haters of religion and even religion itself had turned into probably what Satan wanted it to be.
Fortunately there are still a lot of good people who see things the way they are but so many have been indoctrinated or brainwashed by the constant media manipulation that we are way in the minority.
I really think the country is finished. Electing Obama proved it.
Even tho I think all is lost I think eventually we will fight back, probably in a losing effort but it is the only thing we will be able to do as they have seized control of nearly all means of information and are consolidating their power daily.
The America of the past is dead and gone. It is now under the control of it’s worst enemies.
