You just started distrusting the US government this week?
I hear you but I think a lot of people are still drinking the Kool Aid that started with two World Wars.
When Woodrow Wilson committed the US to join the British Empire’s fight in World War I the die was cast and course set to where we are now.
Our love of our country, our patriotism from then, from 1917 on was being hijacked.
Government was engaging in lies and crackdowns on dissent arrests made during both World Wars of Americans who dissented.
