It’s scary how the colors of a rectangular garmet could subliminaly affect a whole population. they have told us to believe in something that this flag stands for; the meaning for whitch they have chosen. We get all sentimental when a well written spech is resited to the flag, not realy knowing that it another form of control. It’s exacly What the natzies did with their population, it is what many diffrent nations do. What do we as the human race achieve, more separation more wars. An advise to all of you out there, don’t believe in any flag couse as long as you do, the human rase will never be united.

Patriotism is a religion and currently the one that this regime seeks to impose on us. GOOD citizens of FREE republics are the MOST un-patriotic and non-nationalistic of all creatures. They are critical of government and constant pains in the ass to would-be rulers. They are NOT followers of authority figures. They are NOT members of a mob egged on by clergymen. They are NOT anxious to submit to imperialists or corporate officers. They do NOT insist on the worship of symbols and WILL refuse tests and oaths of “loyalty”. Patriots WILL jump down the throats of any who insist that we need a dictator due to trumped up crises. Contrast this with the present state of affairs here in the USA!

I don’t know about anyone else, but I’ve always felt a bit of an outcast when, even in my YOUTH I thought the PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE seemed crazy. Almost like a Hitler Regime style promise to put my life up for this flag and these people. Most of whom are idiots. I love people on an individual basis regardless of what country they’re from or what race they are that’s stupid.

Hiding their Corp Logo’s underneath.
Report thisIt amazes me how many so called ‘Americans’ have failed to realize they have allowed our country to be Conquered by Corporationism.
They are so blinded by the knee jerk/ gutteral Level manipulations that can’t even tell their own Hypocracy.
‘Thou shall Not Kill’ -yet that apparently only means while they’re still in the womb
‘Love thy Neighbor’- apparently limited to geographics, color, religious affliation, culture or sexual prefences.
‘Have no other God Before Me’- Unless he is a War Hero, or a Evangelical preacher, Or the ‘Son of God’
‘Worship no false idols’- Unless it is a flag, or a piece of ‘valueable’ paper or resource
“Honor your mother and Father"- except when they are too old to do anything to punish you. Then it’s OK to throw them away into long term care failities (warehouse) and cut back on their needs and care.
‘Shall Not covet Your neighbors belongings’ -unless of course You want it,so marching your way across the Oil rich nations of the M.E. doesn’t qualify. I’m sure that means YOUR neighbors IPhone, or big screen TV.
As for Our Flag these Proclaimed ‘patriots’ have no problem allowing Multinational Corps to use it as Camoflague as they lay waste to every society they oppress and dominate Around the World.9/11, or any other previous ‘terrorist’ attack over the last 3 decades has not been about US, it has beeen in response to the vile, immoral Business Stratedgy these Corps have been Praciticing. 9/11 was an attack on MIC Targets, Not US and “Our Freedoms"- otherwise they would have hit Disney World, Mall of America or the Statue of Liberty- Not the World TRADE Ctr, the Pentagon, The WH/ Capitol, all Depts of the MIC!
And Pray Tell who has taken away our Independence, Our Freedoms our Rights more… AQ or GW and His Corp &foreign;Sponsors!

The lynching and general flogging of slaves when they weren’t listening to the Emancipation Proclamation…
The genocidal march to eliminate Native Americans…
The fire hoses being unleashed in Birmingham upon African-Americans…
The bombing of innocent civilians in any one of the numerous “freedom spreading” missions by the United States…
I think I just threw up in my mouth from watching this video. Who made this video anyway? A Joseph Goebbels’ descendant?
