I posted this video along with this comment in a earlier diary. "This morning I was watching this on Russia TV about the erosion of our constution, and would have done a diary about it if I had the energy, but after way too much outrage, I find I don't."
After exchanging comments with someone in that diary, who never bothered to even watch the video because he/she would never believe anything on rt.tv, as it had to be propaganda, I was energized enough to go ahead with posting this diary and video.
The words in this video are chilling at times......Over the years we have seen the redistribution of wealth to the corporate side/wall street. And to the MIC where hundreds of billions of taxpayer dollars go through the Pentagon. Thomas Drake, who is also a member of the dkos community, goes on to talk about where we are in this country today, and to talk of the assaults on our constitution, and against our constitutional rights, among other topics.
"There is only so much you can extract out of the country, out of the people. What is left to take after all that?
You take away the people's rights, because you have to insure the continuance of the power structure in place".
Well worth listening to........
