Trump's Ag policy: Cripple it with a trade war, then subsidize it
https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/trumps-ag-policy-cripple-it-with-a-trade-war-then-subsidize-it
The US is collapsing.
The USA is now an immoral bankrupt warmongering police state, but Americans think that they live in a moral, peaceful, free country with a balanced budget.
The elites control the government, media, and corporations.
Bankers who committed fraud received billion dollar bailouts instead of being jailed.
Jobs are being offshored, i*****l i*******ts are flooding the country, wages are flat, homelessness is growing, and debt is rising, but our overlords say that the economy is booming.
There are nanny state laws, regulations, security cameras, license plate readers, checkpoints, redlight cameras, speed cameras, FBI facial and voice recognition, curfews, gun bans, searches without warrants, mandatory minimums, DNA databases, CISPA, SOPA, NDAA, IMBRA, private prison quotas, no knock raids, take down notices, no fly lists, terror watch lists, Constitution free zones, stop and frisk, 3 strikes laws, k**l switches, National Security Letters, k**l lists, FBAR, FATCA, Operation Chokepoint, civil forfeiture, CIA torture, NDAA indefinite detention, secret FISA courts, FEMA camps, laws requiring passports for domestic travel, IRS laws denying passports for tax debts, gun and ammo stockpiles, laws outlawing protesting, police militarization, NSA wiretapping, the end to the right to silence, free speech bans, private prisons, FOSTA, TSA groping, and Jade Helm.
One reason the US is collapsing today is because Americans are lazy cowards. Americans may think deep down inside that immorality, debt, endless wars, and tyranny are wrong, but there are perverse incentives that encourage people to remain silent. Anyone who is quiet and compliant is rewarded with food stamps, a campaign donation, a paycheck, or a sale. Anyone who questions the status quo is called a r****t, nutjob, gets an IRS audit, is arrested, or k**led.
How much more will you take? Does your conscience bother you? Do you think that the 1% are just going to turn around and start reducing the debt, restore the Bill of Rights, and end the wars on their own?
Silence means consent.

Homeland Security Pick Wanted to Suspend Habeas Corpus, Jail One Million

The US is a police state now. Americans should be out in the streets with pitchforks and torches, but instead they would rather shut up, cover their ears, and put their heads in the sand.
Weird.
Americans used to think hippies were lazy fruits for dropping out during the Vietnam War, but maybe the hippies had the right idea after all.
If you can't change a corrupt system, why be a part of it?

The Party seeks power entirely for its own sake. We are not interested in the good of others; we are interested solely in power, pure power. What pure power means you will understand presently. We are different from the oligarchies of the past in that we know what we are doing. All the others, even those who resembled ourselves, were cowards and hypocrites. The German N**is and the Russian C*******ts came very close to us in their methods, but they never had the courage to recognize their own motives. They pretended, perhaps they even believed, that they had seized power unwillingly and for a limited time, and that just around the corner there lay a paradise where human beings would be free and equal. We are not like that. We know that no one ever seizes power with the intention of relinquishing it. Power is not a means; it is an end. One does not establish a dictatorship in order to safeguard a revolution; one makes the revolution in order to establish the dictatorship. The object of persecution is persecution. The object of torture is torture. The object of power is power. Now you begin to understand me.
