“The biggest threat to the American people today lies with the United States government. ... [T]he long-term solution is to dismantle, not reform, the iron fist of the welfare state and the controlled economy. This includes the end (not the reform) of the IRS, the DEA, the BATF, the SEC, the FDA, HUD, the departments of HHS, Labor, Agriculture, and energy, and every other agency that takes money from some and gives it to others or interferes with peaceful behavior.” PeopleGivingLongEndsStatesGovernmentTodayLyingEnergyTermUnitedUnited StatesEconomyBehaviorSolutionsLaborThreatPeacefulReformWelfareLong TermAgencyDepartmentIronControlledAgricultureInterfereFistsState GovernmentWelfare StateIrsFdaUnited States Government Author:Jacob G.

“From 1945 to 2003, the United States attempted to overthrow more than 40 foreign governments, and to crush more than 30 populist-nationalist movements fighting against intolerable regimes. In the process, the US bombed some 25 countries, caused the end of life for several million people, and condemned many millions more to a life of agony and despair.” PeopleEndsCountryStatesGovernmentAmericaFightingProcessUnitedMillionsUnited StatesMovementDespairCrushRegimesAgonyEnd Of LifePopulist Author:William Blum

“America is not the crude stereotype of a self-interested empire. The United States has been one of the greatest sources of progress that the world has ever known. We were born out of revolution against an empire. We were founded upon the ideal that all are created equal.

“The threat of mutually assured destruction worked for the United States during the Cold War because it had proved its willingness to drop nuclear bombs on enemy cities at the end of World War II.
