We’re operating in a topsy-turvy Sherwood Forest where instead of Robin
Hood and his merry band of thieves stealing from the rich to feed the
poor, you’ve got the government and its merry band of corporate thieves
stealing from the poor to fatten the wallets of the rich. In this way,
the poor get poorer and the rich get richer. All the while, the American
Dream of peace, prosperity, and liberty has turned into a nightmare of
endless wars, debilitating debt, and outright tyranny.
What Americans don’t seem to comprehend is that if the government can
arbitrarily take away your property, without your having much say about
it, you have no true rights. You’re nothing more than a serf or a slave.
In this way, the police state with all of its trappings—from
surveillance cameras, militarized police, SWAT team raids, truancy and
zero tolerance policies, asset forfeiture laws, privatized prisons and
red light cameras to Sting Ray guns, fusion centers, drones, black
boxes, hollow-point bullets, detention centers, speed traps and
abundance of laws criminalizing otherwise legitimate conduct—is little
more than a front for a high-dollar covert operation aimed at laundering
as much money as possible through government agencies and into the bank
accounts of corporations.
