Why We Fight

[BigElCat]

My cynicism is not becoming for someone who believes in Christ, I admit.

My freedom has led me to a forced choice, a road that splits in two directions. One path leads to misery and destruction. And so does the other one.

Because I'm poor. This may be because I squandered the opportunities presented to me, but there were not many of those.

There's nothing we can do about Trump and the Fourth Reichers taking over.

You could start with a truckload of encrypted smart phones. Just try to do that, without some agency becoming aware of it.

The way to go with the phones is to do it with ordinary phones, and software. Wouldn't try to buy crypto-chips, and wouldn't trust them anyway.

You have to remember that I'm the fifth column, behind enemy lines. I'll use smoke signals.

One steady column of smoke means; they got me. No rescue attempt needed.

Not only here in the USA today, all throughout history citizens are complacent apathetic comfortable until to late. Thinking it will never happen or someone else will stop it from happening.

On the nose!

Why We Fight: this is how fascists with government power operate. Oh yes, the constitution guarantees you free speech, unless we don't like it....

No pic to prove it, but earlier this morning an armored personnel carrier with military camo paint drove past my house (1st time I've seen this happen).

And a helicopter flew over my house yesterday.

Paranoia strikes deep
Into your life it will creep
It starts when you're always afraid
Step out of line, the men come and take you away
