Happy War & Freedom Propaganda Day

Happy War & Freedom Propaganda Day [Nick Hodge Photo] By [Nick Hodge]( Written Monday, May 29, 2017 Publisher's Note: I penned this Memorial Day missive several years ago, but it rings truer today than ever. Look closely this year and see if you don't draw similar conclusions. To your wealth and true freedom, --Nick --------------------------------------------------------------- As I watched politicians pay tribute to our fallen servicemen on Memorial Day, I have to admit that I felt a bit disgusted. The hypocrisy was thicker than the grill smoke, the pandering more apparent than in a Chaucer poem. You see, Memorial Day is the day the government tells us we should pay tribute to the soldiers who paid the ultimate price to protect our freedoms. I say those soldiers would be turning in their graves if they saw how our freedoms were being “protected” today... The very politicians who are attacking freedoms and waging war on liberty and independence are the ones who will tell you to be patriotic, wave the flag, honor the fallen, and to give thanks that you're so free. I find that appalling. Because it seems that with every fallen soldier and new conflict, America gets a little less free. Two-Faced, Two Terms (or Three) Here in Maryland, our venerable Governor Martin O'Malley (a 2016 hopeful) told citizens, “Today we remember the courage of the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in defense of their country.” I'm sure they'd love that he just signed bills that strip Marylanders of their Second Amendment rights and that tax them for the amount of rain that falls on their property, among many others... New York Governor Andrew Cuomo told us we should “remember and honor our country's heroes who have made the ultimate sacrifice in defense of our nation.” Aside from the fact that these guys all stick to similar talking points, Cuomo just signed the most right-stripping gun bill in the country. He's also done little to correct or prevent the numerous scandals that have rocked the New York legislature, including using a multmillion-dollar slush fund to feed politically-connected organizations. One New York senator used the fund to pay her lovers.

Now the first company to do this in the cannabis space has just IPOed. We think similar 4,265% profits could be in store for investors who act now. [Full Details here.]( Is this what soldiers died for? King of taking away your freedoms, Michael Bloomberg, also chimed in, telling us to “remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice.” There's that “ultimate sacrifice” again. You think these guys coordinate this stuff in an attempt to corral the herd? Mr. Bloomberg, did they make the ultimate sacrifice so you could change the rules and get a third term? Or did they make the ultimate sacrifice so we could no longer have a Big Gulp? It was only two months ago when Bloomberg said he thinks “there are certain times we should infringe on your freedom.” Maybe that's what they paid the ultimate sacrifice for. And notice he thinks “we” should infringe on “your” freedom. They are separate from us. Insiders and Outsiders. Even Texas Senator Ted Cruz joined the chorus, instructing us to join him in “remembering those who've paid the ultimate sacrifice for freedom.” He went on to read from Charles M. Province's poem, "It Is The Soldier" (parentheses mine): It is the Soldier, not the minister Who has given us freedom of religion. (Unless you want to open an Islamic center near ground zero, which John McCain, Sarah Palin, Mitt Romney, Newt Gingrich, Rudy Giuliani, and Harry Reid all spoke out against — but I'm sure they all thanked those for paying the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom...) It is the Soldier, not the reporter Who has given us freedom of the press. (Unless you secretly spy on journalists, like the Department of Justice just did to the Associated Press...) It is the Soldier, not the poet Who has given us freedom of speech. (Bills have been introduced to shut down websites at will and to make lewd Photoshopping of pictures illegal... TSA has made people change their clothes... Obama wants an Internet “kill switch”...) It is the Soldier, not the campus organizer Who has given us freedom to protest. (Fierce crackdown on Occupy movement, numerous citizens arrested for speaking out at city hall meetings, routine use of pepper spray and tear gas...) It is the Soldier, not the lawyer Who has given us the right to a fair trial. (Guantanamo, Bradley Manning...) It is the Soldier, not the politician Who has given us the right to vote. (Rampant voter suppression tactics in numerous states, attempts to pass ID laws to inhibit voter turnout, redistricting...) It is the Soldier who salutes the flag, Who serves beneath the flag, And whose coffin is draped by the flag, Who allows the protester to burn the flag. (Congress has made seven attempts to ban flag burning since 1990.)

They helped in-the-know investors multiply every $25,000 invested into $355,039 of easy gains! These investments are tied to a niche real estate market that’s about to explode. Aging baby boomers are about to DOUBLE the value of this TRILLION-DOLLAR real estate niche. Three specific “Secret Stash Assets” will soar as a result.

If you're offended, you should be. This stuff is offensive. Today we honor those who died so the government could build data centers in Utah that scan all your communications. Today we honor those who died so you could be entered into a biometric database. Today we honor those who died so you could be stopped and frisked. Today we honor those who died so you couldn't have grills, dogs, or beer on the beach. Today we honor those who died before they had a chance to claim their shitty VA benefits. Today we honor those who died to protect our rights until Congress decides we don't need them any more. Today we honor those who died so HSBC could launder money for terrorists without prosecution. Today we honor those who died so the Justice Department could spy on whomever they want without consequence. Today we honor those who died so politicians could make careers out of fundraising for the next campaign. Today we honor those who died so Honeywell, Raytheon, and Lockheed could win even more egregious contracts. Today we honor those who died so U.S. citizens could one day be the target of drone strikes by their own government. Today we honor those who died so that citizens would have to fight city hall to grow gardens or keep poultry. Today we honor those who died so the IRS could try to suppress freedom of speech with tax law. Today we honor those who died so we could have cameras installed on every single traffic light. Today we honor the class of citizens deemed old enough to die for their country, but not quite mature enough to enjoy a beer. Today we honor those who died so you would think America was free. I know many of you feel the same way... Right on cue, Gallup was out yesterday with a poll showing a majority of Americans "believe the federal government today wields too much power." What's more, nearly half agreed that the federal government "poses an immediate threat to the rights and freedoms of ordinary citizens." So don't give in to your masters' attempts to make you feel otherwise, to suppress your expression of how you really feel about what's going on, and to hypocritically tell you to honor those who died for the freedoms they continue to attack.
