This I believe.
You are as you believe.
Our goverment once knew the difference between right and wrong. It didn’t fear doing the right thing.
I’m not saying It where always right. Just that it was this behaveour that mades use as we believe.
Now this country leaves in fear. Not from tarriost. We have traded in hard working pride, and the
labor of our creations, for cheep forgin goods at Walmart.
same time that the Government is demanding greater and greater access to what you do and say,
it is hiding its own conduct behind an always-higher and more impenetrable wall of secrecy.
Everything you do and say must be accessible to them; you can have no secrets from them.
But everything they do — including even criminal acts such as torture, assassinations and
warrantless surveillance — is completely off-limits to you, deemed “state secrets” that not
even courts can review in order to determine their legality. This is all driven by Francis Bacon’s
observation that “knowledge is power”: the idea is to make sure that they have full knowledge of
what you do (i.e., full power over it), while you have no knowledge about what they do (i.e., no power).
