Conspiracy Realists and Conspiracy Loons

[Magda Hassan]

From my personal perspective, people still know I am still a little off the rails.....

I like to think we are the light at the end of the tunnel ::captain::

When the US elite were allowed to go down the road of selfish greediness, reckless lying, deceit, murder, mayhem and the abandonment of core democratic principles (decades in the making - almost certainly as far back as 1963 - quite likely as far back as 1939, in fact)

1939?

Google -- the Gilded Age; the Monroe Doctrine; opium/slave trades.

The war with Mexico, the war of 1812, the ethnic cleansing of Native Americans, the Filipino insurrection...Yeah, this was never our country and we were foolish to think that it actually might change for the better someday.

Yes. Foolish indeed. Yet my understanding of first nation people is that they are incredibly generous, understanding and compassionate to those who find themselves marooned in their countries and unable to return. They do however expect their existence to be respected.
