Personally, I think that if we could ever deprogram America from the socialist dogma that has been foisted upon them by the political establishment, blood would run in the streets from the justifiable outrage. There is ONE establishment, with two heads that constantly advance the establishment's agenda I generally refer to this establishment as the Powers That Be. No matter what happens in the world, the PTB always proposes "solutions" that give them greater control over us and our lives.

Let's take the PTB's reaction to 9/11 as an example. What is the most obvious solution to a muslim with a knife, gun, or whatever trying to take control of a plane?  In a sane world, we'd have armed the flight crews, and possibly (preferrably IMO) even the passengers. Problem solved at negligable cost and inconvienience to the American public. That is assuming that you believe there was actually a "problem" to be solved in the first place. Remember that on 9/11, the flight crews and passengers were doing exactly what the government told them to do in the case of a hijacking.  The rules were to relax, cooperate, and deal with making a stop in Cuba or whereever else the hijackers wanted to go. The rules changed that day as we discovered on United Flight 93. The passengers knew the game had changed and that the stakes were much higher, so they did what came natural to real Americans. They took charge and ended the situation. Tragically, they all died, but they didn't take anyone else with them.  I would submit that there was not a problem to be "fixed" by anything the government would do. We The People have the power to take care of the situation should the need arise.

Sadly, we allowed ourselves to be suckered in yet again by the PTB that used this attack upon us to extract further control over our lives. Every single thing Fedgov did in the wake of 9/11 was designed from the ground up to enlarge their power and to make us feel small and helpless when we werent. It wasn't the government that stopped Flight 93. It was the passengers. Ordinary Americans doing what had to be done. Instead of the President going on network TV and telling us that we would have to be the front line to keep the world safe for our children, we were saddled with the TSA, the Patriot act, and countless other things that actually do nothing to make us safer, but do fit the PTBs desire to increase their power.

When people really understand the evil we face, it will get messy. I expect to see congresscritters hanging from lampposts, among other things.

The best freerepublic post that I’ve ever read. Thank you!

I don’t think that America will be ‘deprogrammed’ in my lifetime... but, if more of us take care of ALL our personal problems without any help from the PTB it might help end the reign of the baby-boomers and allow the next generation to get back on track. That’ll be the real next “Morning in America”.
