I watched a documentary
entitled "War on Democracy" that enforced my way of thinking about our form of government that we call democracy.

The documentary is basically about Hugo Chavez, the President of Brazil and the overthrow of a democratically elected government by the CIA.

I considered myself to be not naive before I watched this documentary yet by the time I finished watching it, my jaw was on the ground as I was standing up. I knew that our government had lied to us from time to time. What I did not know is that our government lies to us constantly! There is no way that I will believe ANYTHING that this government says from now on. They lie to us ABOUT EVERYTHING. They are pathological liars. They will lie when it is easier to tell the truth.

They have told us that Hugo Chavez is an evil dictator that has no qualms about suppressing the people of Venezuela and imprisoning and killing them if they dared to stand up to him. What was revealed to me about Chavez is that his government is a real democracy. The people come first to him. Their needs are the paramount thing for his government to meet. He actually talks to the common man and is in fact a common man himself.

His government was overthrown in a coup in 2002. This coup was financed and directed by the CIA. This is a documented fact. He is so loved by the citizens of Venezuela that they rallied from their barrios with crowds of approximately 500,000 people that surrounded the Presidential Palace and demanded the return of their beloved leader. They did this in the face of the army standing guard around the palace and not knowing all the facts. The word was that Chavez had resigned and a "temporary government" had taken over. This temporary government was a shill for the United States and the reason the coup took place was because Chavez refused to bow to the US demands that Brazil have their oil controlled by the US.

This man was democratically elected by the people of Brazil and was overthrown by the United States because of his democratic policies.

While all this was going on, we were told that his supporters were firing on anti Chavez demonstrators with no provocation. A FUCKING LIE!
His supporters were defending themselves from an unprovoked attack from the CIA controlled and influenced mob that was directed to Chavez supporters by the opposition leader. It was a set up and was designed to be filmed by the opposition.

Bottom line is that the US government has been lying to us since at least 1945 about their empire building and their manipulation of the citizenry en-masse. They ARE USING YOU TO ACHIEVE THEIR AGENDA OF WORLD DOMINATION and doing so quite effectively.

People, we have to wake up, stand up and DEMAND that The Constitution of The United States be upheld and defended TO THE LETTER.

We are almost to a point that the forces that desire to end this experiment in democracy are unbeatable. They will be unbeatable as long as the people of this democracy continue to be as apathetic as they are now. It is almost a fact that your grandchildren will not recognize this country as being a democracy. If they do not, it is your fault. I am doing everything I can to call attention to the fact that we are losing our democracy at an astounding rate. I will continue to do so. If you do not, you deserve the government that you are going to have.

Trust me, this is not going to be a government that you want for your grandchildren.
Think about that.
Study what a fascist government is.
Really question your patriotism.
Look at the regime in charge.
Look right now at the world's rejection of the values of the US.

Look very closely. This is no game to be played on the video screen. This is going to determine if we are going to return to a democracy or slide into fascism.

And it will not be graded on a curve.
