Americans love a great excuse to grill out and drink some alcohol and 4th of July is one of the best holidays to do that. It's mid summer so partying is prime, the weather is warm, the beer is cold and we all love to celebrate something that we actually agree upon.... FREEDOM..
I believed in freedom so much that I joined the military shortly after high school so I could fight in Iraq when the war first kicked off in 2003. We were stoked, [us soldiers] were going to fight for all the people who died in the twin towers and protect America from more terrorist attacks. We were so proud and believed what we were doing was saving lives, even though we were in a totally different country than were the attacks had come from. But somehow we were convinced that Saddam Hussein was more important target than Bin Laden so we carried on "saving the world." Or so we thought.
It took me years for me to realize what was truly happening. We were never fighting for our freedom, we were just dumb kids manipulated into fighting a war that was completely fake. Our enemies were paid by the same people we were paid by, the United States Government. We even saw them using our weapons, tents and vehicles!
In truth we were terrorizing innocent people while simultaneously destroying a country and re-inventing their government to make it more "democratic" so we could essentially control it. We had already tried to get more control in the 90s (during the gulf war) when we help to put Saddam Hussein in power in the first place, but that obviously blew up in our faces so an overhaul on the entire country was needed. So we invaded on a lie, then harassed and killed innocent people for holding onto their beliefs. No wonder so many people hate Americans, we come into their country, ruin their way of life and tell them to change to be more "free" like us. Then we leave the country after desecrating it, but not before we have complete control over their government. 'Merica bitches! So much FREEDOM it hurts!!
My brother was also in the military during the kick of to Afghanistan and Iraq wars and served a tour in each. He had the awesome privilege to "help fight terrorism" by protecting poppy fields in Afghanistan? Tell me again how protecting drug fields is a soldiers duty? That's what they have us giving our lives for, drugs... Not freedom.
What I am trying to say is that freedom isn't free because governments all over the world manipulate the majority of the population into believing that we are somehow at risk of "being hurt or killed by terrorist" when that couldn't be further from the truth. Humanity for the most part wants peace, only warmongers and powerful people want war and like I said before it is always to advance their agenda.
I honestly believe that people are more good than bad, if you don't believe me watch people at the time of a crisis, most everyone will go out of their way to help complete strangers! It's a beautiful thing really. I honestly believe if we weren't manipulated so often (by governments) then we wouldn't have so many problems in the world. War would be a thing of the past if people would actually think about what is going on. Seriously, think about it. Somebody you don't know has a problem with some other guy you don't know and they can't come to a conclusion. They don't want to fight amongst themselves so they fight with innocent lives of soldiers. People they have never met and know nothing about their true agenda are giving their lives over the guise of "freedom". You are told someone wants to kill you and/or your family/friends/loved ones which scares you enough to kill strangers without question! Sounds ridiculous right?
Because it is, but we are somehow convinced that the ruling class would never lie to us about war?? War is All a racket, it is about making money and taking power, NOTHING ELSE. The powers at be just manipulate us into believing these lies so we can fund their wars, which in turn advances their power, it's all a scam.
If you look into most of the wars that ever happened in the world it is all about gaining power, they are not about freedom at all. When was the last time you felt free? We have more rules and laws and are less free than ever before (along with non stop wars for most of Americas history). They splash the freedom title all over wars and use indoctrination and straight lies to boost their agenda. Don't get sucked into their lies!
Many people even believe that 911 and Pearl Harbor (and others) were inside jobs by the US government to manipulate people into a wars that American people didn't want any part of. Where is the freedom in that? Killing our own innocent people to create a fake war and kill more innocent people? That doesn't seem like freedom at all! Kind of the opposite really. (And don't you find it a little odd that all the countries we keep fighting with (lately) are ones without central banks? Don't worry with every country we invade we make sure to leave them with a central bank. Iran, North Korea and Cuba are the only countries left without a world bank, do you think it is a coincidence that we are having issue with all of those countries right now? I think not). But I digress.
How many years has America been at war since its birth?
The U.S. Has Been At War 222 Out of 239 Years. This morning, I discovered an interesting statistic, America Has Been At War 93% of the Time – 222 Out of 239 Years – Since 1776, i.e. the U.S. has only been at peace for less than 20 years total since its birth.Mar 19, 2017
So please tell me again how much America loves peace and freedom? They don't, it's all a sham! Americans love peace and freedom but the American Government does not! If they did love freedom we wouldn't have agencies like the NSA who spies more on it's own people than anything else. We wouldn't have tech giants like Google, Facebook and Amazon sharing all your information with all 17 of the notorious three letter agencies.
I know this sounds more like a rant than anything but the truth is we are all manipulated into believing false Ideals and then we celebrate them like they are good for us. WAR IS NOT GOOD FOR PEOPLE, so please stop pretending like it is. It wastes valuable resources and lives that could be used to better our society instead of destroying it. Think how much further ahead we would be if we invested that money into the economy or peoples futures rather than into war!?! Where would we be as a whole? Probably much farther ahead then we constantly fight with each other and destroy societies.
I'm not saying you shouldn't enjoy this beautiful day or the fact that we have our independence (from one oligarchy to another). I am just saying that you should remember that all the lives lost to war doesn't equal freedom. Freedom is a thought, an action and following blindly into war is the wrong action.
Standing up for what you believe in and never backing down is what freedom truly looks like, NOT war!
HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY
