When you see thousands of people that are innocents that got killed by drones,
a million innocents killed in Iraq, if that's not a crime against humanity,
what is a crime against humanity?
A lot of shit comes up that people would want to vote on,
like the bailouts, the war, things of this nature.
There's a lot of things that people would like that's going to affect us.
We would like to vote on this, but you don't get to vote on it.
You get to vote on a representative.
These people are going to represent you once they get into office,
and think about some of the laws that are in place to protect corporations,
think about some of the laws that are in place that fuck people over every day.
They wouldn't be there if people were voting for them.
We all have this desire to have someone lead us.
We all have this feeling where we need someone who's smarter and wiser,
who represents us, you know, and when you're really fucking dumb,
the problem is really dumb people, they get a say in everything too.
And they're subject to a lot of tricks.
They're subject to nationalism.
They're subject to these kind of ridiculous rah, rah, rah America speeches
that don't say jack shit.
They say nothing.
It's all just this cheerleading fucking event.
And they're subject to it.
They can't help it.
They're dumb.
They don't know they're being bullshitted.
They grew up around dumb people.
They go to work with dumb people.
There's no one in their family that's interesting or asks any questions at all,
and they just get sucked right into it, man.
This society is so greedy, we're willing to go to war.
We're willing to go places and send these big metal machines that kill people
and fuck people up just so we can make more money.
And the way our society is set up, I mean, I've heard it argued and argued
successfully
that our society runs on war.
You know, it runs on the domination of the other parts of the world.
And literally that's the only way you can control a gigantic chunk of the globe.
You have to keep everybody down.
You know, and that's what our society is based on.
We can't be fighting over each other because, you know, this guy's like a
million people die in Iraq
and everybody goes, hey, as long as it doesn't happen over here.
But it is, that is over here.
It's just over here, over there.
It's the same thing.
It's some people you don't know that were born somewhere else who fucking got
jacked.
You get trapped in that whole idea of, you know, this is my team.
These are my people.
And, you know, someone fucking plays a country music song and throws up a flag
and I'm in.
Fuck it.
It feels good.
Feels good to be in, right?
Feels good.
God bless America.
Feels good.
Singing around with a bunch of other people and you're all drinking.
One of the fucking baddest motherfuckers on the planet.
Woo!
And that's how people get recruited.
It's a clusterfuck, man.
These poor fucking kids, man.
Can you imagine being 18, 19, being talked into doing this shit for a bunch of
bloodthirsty motherfuckers
who just are trying to get whatever they're trying to get over there.
Whatever the fuck it is.
Whether it's lithium, you know, minerals in the mountains that they used to
make cell phones.
Whether it's 90% plus of the world's opium supply.
Yeah.
90 fucking percent.
That is a multi, multi, billion dollar business.
And if you think these fucking industrialist cocksuckers that are running the
world are going to leave that money behind,
you're fucking crazy.
Dude, they've got United States Army troops guarding Poppyfield.
There's fucking so much heroin there.
I mean, it's incredible.
The fucking brother of the president of Afghanistan.
His brother was selling heroin and getting paid by the CIA.
I mean, god damn it.
Heroin is absolutely addictive, okay?
People who try heroin get hooked.
Heroin is everywhere, okay?
So you need to sell it.
Someone's selling it.
Who's selling it?
I don't know, but 90% of it comes from this one place where we have to be to
save our freedom.
You can't criticize it.
Because if you criticize it, you're a shithead.
You don't appreciate the troops and what they're doing for you.
And that's not the case at all.
I just don't like the idea of these fucking people leading us in any direction
where you need to sacrifice your life.
I don't believe it.
I don't believe them.
When there's been so many fucking lies.
I mean, the more you look it up, the more...
I mean, go into any of the stories on the weapons of mass destruction before we
invaded
and compare them to what we actually know that they really knew when they said
that.
It's like they did it on purpose.
They wanted to get in there for whatever fucking reason.
And if it's some crazy the world is gonna end if we don't stop this but we can't
tell you shit,
like, I would love to believe you.
I would love to believe that the reason why you're not telling us exactly what
the fuck is going on
is because you're really protecting us from some insanely evil thing that if we
knew about it,
society would collapse.
But our strong, brave, powerful leaders are going to guide us without our
knowledge.
I would love to believe you.
If you weren't all full of shit...
We're gonna have to step back and look at it all in a different way.
And I don't think you're gonna get that from just voting for president
and dealing with all this nonsense that we have right now with the fucking,
with the two-party system.
We're spinning our wheels. We're not getting any traction. This is all nonsense.
It's the same nonsense with Obama that we dealt with with Bush.
Special interest groups controlling what people say and do, what direction the
country goes in,
and save us from the bad guys.
Shut the fuck up, man. It's the same nonsense.
Operation Northwoods.
It was something that was plotted out during the 1960s, signed by the Joint
Chiefs of Staff, where they were gonna fake terrorist attacks on American
civilians and blame it on the Cubans so we could go to war with Cuba.
It involved a bunch of shit like blowing up a jetliner.
They were gonna have a drone jetliner and blow it up and say that people died
on it.
And this was gonna get everybody fired up about going to war with Cuba.
They were even gonna attack Guantanamo Bay.
They were gonna arm Cuban friendlies to attack Guantanamo Bay so that we would
have to go to war with Cuba.
This is like our own government. They plotted this out. This is like real shit.
I remember when I saw JFK, the Oliver Stone movie, and that was like part of
the premise that JFK, that Oliver Stone was pushing in this film is that they
killed JFK because they wanted to stay in Vietnam because they were making a
lot of money in Vietnam.
And I remember at the time seeing that movie going, "That is absolutely
ridiculous. Who the fuck believes that? Are they gonna start wars and keep wars
going just so that they can make money even though it's not a real war? It's
not a just war? Nobody wants to go to war. That's stupid hippie bullshit."
Well, as I got older and I started investigating history, you know, from way
back to Vietnam, to the Gulf of Tonkin, to all the shit that happened when
Kennedy and Nixon were in office, to all the shit that happened with Reagan and
the Contras in Nicaragua and the Sandinistas and all the different various
things that have happened in human history where it's clear that the United
States is, you know, we're fucking around with all kinds of things all the time
to make money.
And that there's a bunch of people that are profiting off a war. And then they're
not just profiting like a little bit of money here and there. You know, you
look at like what's going on with like how much money Halliburton made from the
war. We're talking like billions and billions of dollars. That's like real
money.
Eisenhower leaving office and he's giving a speech warning the American people
about the power of the military industrial complex. You know, when you watch
that, you're like, well, here is a sitting president who's leaving office.
And, but the most important thing that he wants to tell people is that you have
to be careful because there's a machine here that wants to go to war.
There's a business behind going to other countries and fucking people up and
taking their shit. And they come up with reasons to do this. And they sacrifice
American lives to do this. And they do it for profit. And it sounds absolutely
ridiculous.
It sounds absolutely outrageous that the greatest country on earth could be
involved in something like that from the get go. But yet that's what history
says. That's how it points. It points in that direction. It points in that
direction that it's going in.
And the councils of government. We must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted
influence, whether sought or unsought by the military industrial complex.
The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will
persist. We must never let the weight of this combination endanger our
liberties or democratic processes.
