Bob Alexander was born, raised, married, and educated in the United States. But, there came a moment of truth, when he felt he had to take his wife and two children away from the country he once loved so dearly.
This was ot an easy move for sure, and not a leap into any imagined Paradise. But, in this article at http://tvnewslies.org, Bob describes the differences between life in the US and life in his newly adopted country. He calls them 'remarkable.'
This segment, taken totally out of context, is a clue to the emotion that accompanies the startling facts Bob recounts in this article:
When I was a kid in the early 60’s there was a palpable feeling that Things Were Going To Get Better. For everybody. Civil Rights for African Americans was going to happen. It was inevitable. If not 1961 or 62 then the next year or the next. The status quo for millions of Americans was going to completely change. And not in some vague future like “sometime in my lifetime.” Things were going to change for millions of Americans who had been denied their rights for hundreds of years before my friends and I got our drivers licenses. There was talk of Medicare but the only people against it were commie-fearing Republicans who screeched about “Socialized Medicine!” We had orbited the Earth and were aiming at the moon.
But suddenly somebody blew John Kennedy’s head apart and the government decided it was best if they just lied to us about everything from that point on. They lied … the country went to war … and year after year we lost more and more ground. The country took a wrong turn. And then another … and another … because, as it turned out, the people who ran our institutions didn’t want Things To Get Better For Everybody. They conditioned us to give up on that idea and settle for hoping Things Didn’t Get Worse. The familiar became normal. Children born 15 years ago know we’ve always been at war with The Evildoers.
But it didn’t have to happen that way. We could have had a country that didn’t embrace perpetual war for perpetual peace. We could have had a more humane government. But our Elite have gone mad and taken us with them.
