Almost everybody in the U.S. government is corrupt in one way or another. Face the facts - if politicians go to Washington and they aren't corrupt, they become so within a few months after having bribes and power thrown at them constantly. Power and money are the two major tools of evil. It's the same in all other countries worldwide as well. Their governments are all corrupt if they are democracies and the highest premium examples of corruption if dictatorships. Their territorial governments are corrupt. Their local governments are corrupt. Their local police are corrupt. You can either be a sheep that watches this going on and just go along throughout life not bringing any attention from corruptness your way, or you can be a sheep that kicks and fights against the corrupt system and yet you will go along anyway while the corrupt keep you in their view. Then suddenly, if you are too far out on a limb with your theories, one day you don't exist and nobody knows where you went.
I simply choose to ignore all the crap I have no power to change. One day I might have to leave this country and move elsewhere because the corruption has turned to total chaos but for now it's still the best place on earth to live. Whether you like those running the government or not, you have no choice until you decide to ride a camel and live in a mud hut. When it no longer is the best place on earth to live, I will have found a somewhat better place which is still corrupt and my family and I will go there.
Me a t*****r? Not a chance in hell. I know you're trying to turn a civil conversation of this thread into a pissing match and you're now resorting to outright slander but I won't bite. T*****rs are those who go against the good of the people in general. That's you. T*****rs oppose our democracy and how it runs, oppose our historical stance toward other corrupt and violent societies and governments, and oppose those who are in our governmental positions. That's you. At one time, not that long ago, that was called treason and you would be shot for it but now you're just supposedly constitutionally expressing your views publicly. You are a t*****r opposed to those elected to office by the "sheep" of our country. You are a t*****r opposed to wars we've had in the past with those who would snuff out all gentiles of the U.S. if they had the opportunity. You are a t*****r opposed to everything that the working class v**er repeatedly determines is good for them. All this treasonous talk of yours is based on particles of this, and particles of that, which you read from various sources that are in the same dark mindset of o*******wing the norm that you are.
All eras of U.S. government have had propaganda and it's nothing new. We all got under our desks during nuclear blast drills in elementary school but there was no chance in hell that a Soviet nuclear missile could make it to Michigan. And even if it did, the atomic fallout would have k**led us if the direct blast didn't. That pitiful little metal framed desk with a 1/2" laminate lid wasn't going to save our asses but the government spread fear of Russia and C*******m across our country via these drills, fallout shelters in residential neighborhoods, talk on the radio and finally TV about missiles in Cuba, etc. Rosie Riveter having to save up scrap metal in WWII, tear it apart, and melt it down for war machinery was a big lie as well. It was patriotism-building propaganda and that's all. Japanese Beetle invasions and spraying us all with DDT was a h**x then banning DDT because it supposedly causes cancer was another h**x - while we continue to import fruits and vegetables from countries where DDT is legal. Fluoride in toothpaste to protect teeth is a government h**x. Fluoride was a toxic waste product the government wanted to dump millions of gallons of and they succeeded by putting it in our water systems under the guise of tooth protection. Most medical conditions today are caused by chemicals we eat in processed foods but the chemical companies pay government officials billions to get away with it and use the AMA as a mouthpiece to deny any connection and mask the mass murder.
Get used to it and take your meds like you're supposed to. We truly are living in the Matrix but knowing it doesn't make you capable of changing it. You aren't Neo and you're wasting your life and the lives of those around you by seething with anger and hatred. Propaganda is everywhere, always has been, and there's not a damned thing you're going to do about it. Standing on the roof tops and shouting your theories and hatred until you drive yourself into a stress-related heart attack does absolutely no good. Or you can shut up and live your life comfortably with your family and friends and have some happiness instead.
I was at a party of 25 people 4 years ago and one guy there was off on your same tangent repeating over and over all the things I'd already read in conspiracy blogs (and the same things you're spouting) right from the beginning of the picnic. It took approximately 30 minutes for everybody there to get to the ignoring him stage. Eyes rolled and some whispered that this guy needed to be institutionalized for his own good before he went postal. He'd come up to a couple or three people and start and suddenly they had to go get a drink or find their kid or wh**ever. Eventually he alienated everybody in the place and nobody would even sit near him. Even his own brother, who hosted the party was completely ashamed of him and apologized profusely. The nutcase and his wife were never invited to another picnic. That's what conspiracy theorist American t*****rs with foil hats get out of life - isolation from the masses. Good luck with that.

Your spiel is that of a cynical member of the herd, Marco.
But it's obvious you are a jackal hiding in sheep clothing.
