    Is the U.S. Government Evil? You Tell Me
    [SHORT]


    By John W. Whitehead
    April 23, 2018

    Is the U.S. government evil?
    You tell me.
    This is a government that treats its citizens like faceless statistics and economic units to be bought, sold, bartered, traded, tracked, tortured, and eventually eliminated once they’ve outgrown their usefulness.
    This is a government that treats human beings like lab rats to be caged, branded, experimented upon, and then discarded and left to suffer from the after-effects.
    This is a government that repeatedly lies, cheats, steals, spies, kills, maims, enslaves, breaks the laws, overreaches its authority, and abuses its power at almost every turn.
    This is a government that wages wars for profit, jails its own people for profit, and then turns a blind eye and a deaf ear while its henchmen rape and kill and pillage.
    No, this is not a government that can be trusted to do what is right or moral or humane or honorable but instead seems to gravitate towards corruption, malevolence, misconduct, greed, cruelty, brutality and injustice.
    This is not a government you should trust with your life, your loved ones, your livelihood or your freedoms.
    This is the face of evil, disguised as a democracy, sold to the people as an institution that has their best interests at heart.
    Don’t fall for the lie.
    The government has never had our best interests at heart.
    Endless wars. The government didn’t have our best interests at heart when it propelled us into endless oil-fueled wars and military occupations in the Middle East that wreaked havoc on our economy, stretched thin our military resources and subjected us to horrific blowback.
    A police state. There is no way the government had our best interests at heart when it passed laws subjecting us to all manner of invasive searches and surveillance, censoring our speech and stifling our expression, rendering us anti-government extremists for daring to disagree with its dictates, locking us up for criticizing government policies on social media, encouraging Americans to spy and snitch on their fellow citizens, and allowing government agents to grope, strip, search, taser, shoot and kill us.
    Battlefield America. Certainly the government did not have our best interests at heart when it turned America into a battlefield, transforming law enforcement agencies into extensions of the military, conducting military drills on domestic soil, distributing “free” military equipment and weaponry to local police, and desensitizing Americans to the menace of the police state with active shooter drills, color-coded terror alerts, and randomly conducted security checkpoints at “soft” targets such as shopping malls and sports arenas.
    Secret human experimentation. One would also be hard-pressed to suggest that the American government had our best interests at heart when it conducted secret experiments on an unsuspecting populace—citizens and noncitizens alike—making healthy people sick by spraying them with chemicals, injecting them with infectious diseases and exposing them to airborne toxins. The government reasoned that it was legitimate (and cheaper) to experiment on people who did not have full rights in society such as prisoners, mental patients, and poor blacks.
    For instance, there was the CIA’s Cold War-era program, MKULTRA, in which the government began secretly experimenting on hundreds of unsuspecting American civilians and military personnel by dosing them with LSD, some having the hallucinogenic drug secretly slipped into their drinks, so that the government could explore its uses in brainwashing and controlling targets. The CIA spent nearly $20 million on its MKULTRA program, reportedly as a means of programming people to carry out assassinations and, to a lesser degree, inducing anxieties and erasing memories, before it was supposedly shut down.
    Sounds like the stuff of conspiracy theorists, I know, but the government’s track record of treating Americans like lab rats has been well-documented, including its attempts to expose whole communities to various toxins as part of its efforts to develop lethal biological weapons and study their impact and delivery methods on unsuspecting populations.
    John Lennon was right: “We’re being run by maniacs for maniacal ends.”
    Unfortunately, the more things change, the more they stay the same.
    Just recently, for example, a Fusion Center in Washington State (a Dept. of Homeland Security-linked data collection clearinghouse that shares information between state, local and federal agencies) inadvertently released records on remote mind control tactics (the use of “psycho-electronic” weapons to control people from a distance or subject them to varying degrees of pain).
    Mind you, there is no clear evidence to suggest that these particular documents were created by a government agency. Then again, the government—no stranger to diabolical deeds or shady experiments carried out an unsuspecting populace—has done it before.
    After all, this is a government that has become almost indistinguishable from the evil it claims to be fighting, whether that evil takes the form of terrorism, torture, drug trafficking, sex trafficking, murder, violence, theft, pornography, scientific experimentations or some other diabolical means of inflicting pain, suffering and servitude on humanity.
    For too long now, as I make clear in my book Battlefield America: The War on the American People, the American people have been persuaded to barter their freedoms for phantom promises of security and, in the process, have rationalized turning a blind eye to all manner of government wrongdoing—asset forfeiture schemes, corruption, surveillance, endless wars, SWAT team raids, militarized police, profit-driven private prisons, and so on—because they were the so-called lesser of two evils.
    No matter how you rationalize it, the lesser of two evils is still evil.
    So how do you fight back?
    How do you fight injustice? How do you push back against tyranny? How do you vanquish evil?
    You don’t fight it by hiding your head in the sand.
    Stop being apathetic. Stop being neutral. Stop being accomplices.
    Start recognizing evil and injustice and tyranny for what they are. Demand government transparency. Vote with your feet (i.e., engage in activism, not just politics). Refuse to play politics with your principles. Don’t settle for the lesser of two evils.
    As British statesman Edmund Burke warned, “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men [and women] to do nothing.”
    It’s time for good men and women to do something. And soon.

    Europe used to have empires. They were run by emperors.
    Then we had kingdoms. They were run by kings.
    Now we have countries...

    Government is something to fear, but far from being evil Not in the sense of good vs evil. Government does a whole lot of good just look how many are on the government teat. LOL

    Government is government.

    It is much like water.....seeks its own level, flows only where allowed, will make use of a breech or hole when possible.

    It can be contained, but it is ALWAYS ready to make good on any opportunity to run wild.

    It it is only as evil as the men in power, the men who put them there, and those who allow the increasingly wild flow to remain unchecked.

    Ditto. And now is even worse, and we voted for the "good" guys. And so much the more as the Day draws near.

    When I was a kid in the mid 1950's, my dad served as president of our local school board. He got zero compensation for his service, and only a small stipend for serving on the town council for several terms. Today I see these same offices demanding huge salaries for part time work. Much later in his life he gave me advice about politics. Basically said the two party system is corrupt to the core and the higher up the ladder you go towards the centralized power center (Washington) the more corrupt it gets.

    Saw a very interesting 2 hour documentary on sociopaths and psychopaths. Near the end of the well researched piece they demonstrated a very interesting fact. Over 65% of adult sociopaths in the US live within 50 miles of Washington DC. Like moths drawn to a flame, power and corruption attract evil.

    Just ask the tens of millions of babies who have been slaughter since the Supreme Court legalized abortion.

    They made it "legal", but God did not give them the authority to make it right.

    Not the government, only those people within that have learned how to manipulate, deceive, lie and conceal there corruption. This goes hand in hand with the question asked.
    The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.
