Ignorance is bliss in America I guess. The media never shines a spotlight on what our troops are doing in the middle east, so many, myself included, are left in the dark as to what is going on over there. If our nation ever becomes one that isn't controlled by banks that have financial motivations that account for our meddling over there, we should adopt an isolationist-style foreign policy, and our military should strictly be used for self-defense. Hell, if you really wanna stop illegal immigration, all you would have to do is bring the troops back home and station them along the border... keep the damn Canadians out.

Absolutely. Americans seem to have no understanding for the horror and sadness we create across the world. We act like only we can feel the pain of the loss of a family member. Those on the other end of our drone bombs, on the other hand, do not care whether their loved ones have been murdered.

I agree. Our government kills innocent people daily and it seems to be okay with Americans. We need to protest the wars not gun control.

Sheeple only care about what their media tells them to care about. The government can help kill millions of Americans but the media doesn't care so the sheeple don't either.

The most ironic thing of all is that Americans (military especially) are led to believe that they are fighting for 'freedom' by attacking other countries and bombing hundreds of thousands, while at the same time Americans are begging their own government for restrictions, as the media attention on that is showing.

They are blind to the fact that this shooting, as others before, are being used not only to ban private citizens from owning weapons, but moreover to silence free speech. Just ask anyone that openly asks questions, i.e. about camera footage or teachers seeing a shooter dressed in police garb in Florida, and you will find plenty of examples of free speech being attacked and shut down.

In effect, the prison doors are closing in and only a very few seem to be seeing that. The prison doors in this case are invisible, but they are there nonetheless.

A large part of most politicians personal money is invested in the "war industry" or they are heavily subsidised by them and nothing will change when it comes to that until we change our political system A- from a 2 party system to a multi party system B- remove money from politics. World wide a great percentage of the general population is perpetually unwilling to care about anything but what personally affects them. U.S Americans just double down on it like they supersize their fast food - to quote west side story " Everything BIG in America". On the World stage America has been the school yard bully for a very long time and like the school yard lunch stealing mean kid deep down America is a coward that hides behind force. This reflects in it's population, we are afraid of everything and little common sense is ever to be found in fear. Most of this screaming about needing regulation is because they fear this could happen to their kids, and the images they see on TV look familiar as do the faces of the victims. Who cares that some brown kid a world away is getting murdered it does not register because a lot of stuff outside of the U.S does not register. a lot of American have little knowledge about anything outside of their immediate horizon nor are they really interested to learn about it. They want what they know, a 12 piece bucket from Kentucky fried chicken, their favorite T.v show, sports and a beer.

Like any uneducated population superstitions run high the demons of today just wear human faces and the ghost stories are told by the light of our screens and Tv.s instead of the campfire. The way this fear expresses itself is in many ways the same regardless of political leaning even though it might look different on first superficial glance. The majority believe the lies their respective leaders tell them or at least they see it as the Lesser evil" that they conform to as thinking for them self and fining new approaches is just to uncomfortable. Agendas are polarized and even when it seems that the policy being sold is there to help people it is just really a front to gain popular opinion and has little to do with the actual population it is deemed to make a difference for. The truth is that true change is birthed by compromise and conscious effort which is something few in the political game are really interested in.

Even amongst those who think differently there are so little few who are willing to actually sit down and work on viable solutions they rather bitch at each other and talk about flat earth and chemtrails and how this side and that side is wrong. The key to the war issue and out global issues start right at home at our own doorstep. Like it or not whatever affiliation you claim or do not claim our politicians are not going to fix anything. We also are going to share our communities, our country and or planet with each other until we die. It is time to be more compassionate toward each other, to find ways to make room for all birds with whatever plumage and tackle our issues ourselves.

If we create better freer communities, educate each other and teach each other to become more independent and self sufficient this will bleed out into our compassion for other nations as well. A nation a people at war with each other will never understand the true meaning of peace nor perpetuate it.

yes it does it is just a slow grind sadly and we often do not see the rewards in our lifetime. And good for you on the music and work with kids. May I ask what you do to claim your own autonomy though? What are you doing in your life to up your life quality and gain some level of freedom from the system? Living by example goes a good way to int changing things .

Sure. I was trapped in the system up until 3 years ago.
I am now 37 years old and as soon as I left school I got a job as further education seemed confusing and I was not sure who I was.
For years I worked normal jobs and kept my dreams behind me as I did not have the confidence or the time to achieve them.
I finally cracked at the end of 2015. I was losing my musical skills and had enough of working for an employer with shit rules and conditions and the ever consistent bad weather in the UK.
So I left it all behind and built a new life for myself here.
I am not trapped in a 9-5, the sun always shines and I don't have to earn a monthly salary just to get by.
My petrol cost is $5 a week! rent is a lot cheaper here also.
It is a different world and I can never look back.

good for you. Other good things to cut costs even further are to do domestic changes as well things like collecting rainwater, growing your own food , using wind and solar power ect. you can even do it in an urban setting if you know how , be it through simple bottle based window gardens or making a community rooftop garden ect.

Also it is scientifically proven that musical education improves life quality and in many cases fosters further interest into further education. So basically you are opening worlds for these kids who will have wider horizons that will impact how they operate and perceive their world and they will pass that on to their kids. It is slow change but seeds like that are never for nought one way or another ...

Yes!! I agree with off-grid living!! Unfortunately here in Cambodia the government are just as bent as the rest of them. There is a lot of crime here and theft.. I could see the solar panels being stolen, even the vegetables one would grow. Super messed up here with people only caring about the next bladdy I phone. :(
but slowly people are beginning to wake up.
The sun shines every day here and I dont see one solar panel..

I wouldn't give up on it there are studies that show that community gardens lower crime rates in urban areas. Maybe talk to some of your neighbors and see if they are game. otherwise make a window garden with old soda bottles you hang those inside.

Part of disengaging from the system is trying to get away from one's dependence on money. It is not always possible to disengage completely but moves like you made go a good way toward that ...

The people of America pulled themselves out of the Vietnam war in the 60’s. We can do it again. Americans are being forced to work too hard to pay their bills and make ends meet that common sense has been lost. Our heads appear to be in the sand. I am an American and I love America because it can change. The people need to stand up more like we did in thw 60’s. Fight the nonsense. I am retired now. I was working for a very large printing company and it was like a war zone every day. We need to take our country back from all the clowns that are running it today. The media is succesful in separating us. In the 60’s all races, all people stood together better than we do now to make a good change. Education is very poor. The children of today don’t seem to make sense to me at all.
Good post sir. I can go on and on. Peace to all!

Seems to be the "same old" in the sense that we are horrified by a murder in our neighborhood; horrified by school shootings, but when we reach the scale of mass genocide... we dissociate and thousands of deaths become "some people died... far, far away."

Indeed, absolute power corrupts absolutely...

U.S.’ role in empowering each group through years of failed policy and efforts to arm Al-Qaeda affiliates.

Its pathetic how easily we can see a dust on others face, while we fail to acknowledge the log we carry around... Its high time they realise that love is never the answer, will never be... Trump should preach love, not war!

yup, the war on terror is a forever war, we are fighting an idea and you can't really defeat an idea with bombs and drones. We defeat domestic terrorism and these mass shootings with more liberty not less, restrictions on liberty is what created schools full of unarmed children and teachers. we could defeat jihadists with weekly cartoon contests, just have one every week until no more show up. But that would not be a profitable forever war or require any drones or metal detectors or dudes touching everyone's balls at the airport.

Americans don't care about the death and destruction caused by US operations in the middle east because they have been brainwashed to believe it's being done to 'spread freedom and democracy' and fight the 'war on terrorism', which is completely fabricated.

Americans do care about the mass shootings in the US because they were designed to create fear, demoralize, destabilize, and eventually, disarm America.

Yes, that's right. US operations in the middle east, as well as most of these mass shootings in the US, are being orchestrated by our own government, primarily the CIA, which has gone horribly rogue.

These are just two of many parts of an all-encompassing hegemonic agenda being carried out by the US government on behalf of a cabal of powerful globalist super scumbags. Look up the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) to get an idea of who I'm talking about.

Wake up! Don't focus on the trees. See the forest.

Americans are being oppressed, propagandized, and terrorized by their own gov't to the point that many have become paranoid, depressed, hooked on drugs and alcohol, suicidal, you name it.
