Makes me sad. Those are people to whom the United States should be a beacon, a leader, a light showing the rest of the world how to have an open, peaceful country. We should see the people in those videos as our brothers and sisters and rejoice that they have decided to take responsibility for their community into their own hands.

Instead we chose empire, chose colonialism, chose cynical manipulation and opacity and subterfuge and undermining, callously pitting groups against each other, tearing down their society so that we can precariously balance on top.

Thank god new media is emerging so we can leave the old rotting shell of manipulative deception and its warmongering parasitic harpies behind.

Thanks clarityofsignal!
