Repeat after me: “The US government hates Americans”. Keep repeating it until you’ve internalized the truth of it. None of our current woes makes any sense unless, and until, We the People come to terms with the demonstrable fact that this government believes it has outgrown its own citizenry. This is a Roman government looking to cast off the ‘obsolete’ Republic as it fantasizes about assuming leadership of the global Empire it’s been engineering. We’re being scraped off their shoes with unseemly and unceremonious haste. We owe them nothing.
