Having started studying government and the founding of this nation at age 49 in the year 1995, what was prompted by anger at negative advertising began a quest that, at first, just scratched the surface.

But, as the endeavor continued with thousands of hours spent in study, the scratches cut deeper and deeper until I felt as if I was wallowing in a sewer filled with deceit, dishonesty, fraud, murder or conspiracy to commit murder, and ruination of innocent people.

Then, I was led to cover-ups of illegal government acts, theft, unethical behaviors, and felonious acts by those who should be positive role models. And unconstitutional laws passed in the name of pseudo wars against drugs and crime or in the name of the children. In short, the antithesis of good many Americans believe to be true of those they elect to office.

Why the people of this nation tolerate what is going on is beyond comprehension. I don’t mean the deep, hidden stuff but the obvious such as politicians lying, lying about their beliefs, lying about their pasts, lying about their intended futures, lying about their opponents, lying about the control big business has over them, lying about what bills will or will not do (bills that are probably outside the limitations imposed by the Constitution), and all the other lies, big and small.

The lies are heard every campaign and during every administration whether it be federal or state or local government. It matters not whether it is a Democrat or Republican Congress, whether it is a Democrat or Republican president, whether is is Democrats or Republicans at any lower lever.

It matters not who the appointees are to critical government positions, including those filling the highest courts and positions the different levels of government have to offer.

The dishonesty is a plain as the nose on your face. Hammers that cost $900, 75 cent bolts that cost over $900, toilet seats costing hundreds, retirements for themselves costing hard working Americans millions upon millions every year, paid off judges, hit men being hired, Waco, Ruby Ridge, Flight 800, control of the media, terrorists actions against innocent people, innocent law-abiding people shot down in their homes or on the streets without any convictions of government agents doing the killing, commitment of US troops to places we do not in reality have any business being in, wars that are not wars for our protection but for the financial gain of financial giants or world politic manipulations, violations of constitutional rights, civil liberty violations. In short, everything but the truth and government behaving as a dictatorial despot rather than a government protecting its citizens’ rights and well being.

People seem to know deep down as most make comments concerning the crookedness of politicians and that the government can do what it wants. They seem to realize the false promises that go on during campaigns but vote for the clods anyway. This goes all the way down to the township level as indicated by: "You can't fight City Hall."

Or they know that no candidate is worth a hill of beans but vote anyway instead of demanding different candidates or financially or physically helping others to become candidates. They know what one party does (meaning the two major parties), the other does. And, yet, they remain true to the parties even though those parties are part of ripping them off and working hard to remove all liberties from the American people.

Many recognize that spot checks on highways are no different that what occurred in Germany and communistic countries. It is no different that “Show me your papers, Comrade.”

Many know of the surveillance that is going on of phone conversations - of Internet communications being tapped into and of government hacking into private computers, practices that are highly illegal. At least according to the Constitution and its applicable amendments.

So, what the hell is the deal? It is obvious the federal government, with lesser governments following its lead, has the intent of tyrannical oppressive control over the people of this nation. It is pushing for greater tracking of citizens, of means of knowing where every citizen is at any time of day and what the person is doing. It wants to know what every citizen buys or sells or trades, especially in regards to firearms, the only means a free people have to protect themselves from tyrannical advances of their own government.

The writing is not longer just writing on the wall as it was for me a year ago - the US Government's message is now brightly lit in huge neon lights that only the most blind cannot see.
