Some REAL news for a change

[riders2010]

You don't think that there are some al queda in Sask? Do they shed that stuff coming over on the plane?

Train them in afghanistan, die for their freedom supposedly there and other places and when they get the chance to vote who do they vote for, and then some even turn their guns on our boys and girls.

When we proclaim we won the war there do we really think we wiped out that embedded thinking at that moment?

Isn't Al-Queda now America/Canada allies? Haven't we been supporting them in Libya and Syria with arms and money? Replacing those ruthless godless dictators with these enlightened Muslim jihadists?

No war was won. That's the problem. Just look at how life in North America has changed since 2001.

-Getting onto an airplane involves invasive security, like putting people through X-rays, not just their luggage.
-We drive through radiation detectors to get over the border.
-We need passports to travel 50 miles to shop.
-When we drive up to the border crossing, we have our pictures taken, and that likely gets put into some face recognition program somewhere.
-People with the wrong names are dragged off of planes because someone else with the same name is on a "no fly" list.
-Unmanned drones patrol the Canadian border watching what we do.
-There are children and elderly in wheelchairs being bodily searched at airports.
-What we say here is being monitored. If someone on a site like this one says something Big Brother considers "inappropriate", they will get a visit from some fellows driving black SUV's and wearing sunglasses. This is true. It happened to someone who posts on Ranchers.net last year.
-The U.S. has a law now that says anyone can be arrested without reason. No warrant required. They can be held indefinitely without charges based simply on suspicion. They have no right to trial or due process, simply because someone somewhere has decided they pose a "security risk". The opportunity for abuse with this one is horrifically obvious. This law was brought in quietly with a lot of American citizens not even knowing about it, even now.

People in North America have lost a large part of their freedom, and it is getting worse as time goes by. The loss of this freedom is coming at a huge cost.

In Afghanistan not much has changed.

Who won the war??

Talk all you like about unenlightened Americans ---- most Canadians still think that the twin towers were knocked down by a couple of boys who hijacked a couple aeroplanes. LOL

Its all about fear and knowing how to use it to control the population.
