Freedom or the Slaughterhouse? The American Police State from A to Z

By John W. Whitehead

“Who needs direct repression when one can convince the chicken to walk freely into the slaughterhouse?”—Philosopher Slavoj Žižek

Despite the best efforts of some to sound the alarm, the nation is being locked down into a militarized, mechanized, hypersensitive, legalistic, self-righteous, goose-stepping antithesis of every principle upon which this nation was founded.

All the while, the nation’s citizens seem content to buy into a carefully constructed, benevolent vision of life in America that bears little resemblance to the gritty, pain-etched reality that plagues those unfortunate enough to not belong to the rarefied elite.

For those whose minds have been short-circuited into believing the candy-coated propaganda peddled by the politicians, here is an A-to-Z, back-to-the-basics primer of what life in the United States of America is really all about.

We’re experiencing what those in pre-war Nazi Germany did and, in a short time, we’ll also experience what happened to those who disagreed and attempted to “buck the system”. It won’t be pretty, folks. Hell, it’s already getting ugly out there.

The only remaining difference, right now, is the absence of jack-booted brown and black shirts, goose-stepping down our streets and the simple fact that we still have the 2nd. amendment to fall back on -- for now.

Free speech is already being frowned upon and efforts are being made to curtail that, too. Just look what happened to Pam Geller and the 2 fascists that tried to silence her and those that attended.
“To know who rules over you, simply look for those whom you cannot criticize”.

We’re living in those days that our forefathers warned about and planned for by giving us the means to defend ourselves with -- the 2nd. amendment.
