Why should anyone trust that they "don't do this anymore". What has changed for us to actually believe a word that any of those miscreants and
psychopaths in government (in the UK, USA or any nation) tell us?
Every single week there is a new story of how our governments fail, how they abused their own citizens in the past, how they waste resources, make
dodgy deals with corporations, help criminals, arm dictators, create terrorist groups... Why does ANYONE on Earth vote? Why do we keep electing the
same sickening people into office and stupidly believe that anything has changed, or that anything WILL change?
The system has not changed, the military industrial complex has only GROWN, weapons are becoming more and more horrific with each passing decade, and
all we do is replace the talking head of the monster every few years and expect things to magically improve.
I can absolutely GUARANTEE that in another sixty years there will be evidence of what our governments are doing right now, and I have no doubt that
they will also say "don't worry, we don't do that these days!"
And why do they wait 60 years? Because everyone responsible is dead, unaccountable. They've had their millions in payoff's, their golden pensions,
they've put their precious kids through the best schools and now they're the one's doing all this BS now. By the time we find out what the government
is doing now all those responsible for it will be dead and again unaccountable for their psychopathic behavior.
Ask me why I don't vote - Because it's a waste of my time and an insult to my intelligence.
