Here is a lesson to take to heart.
The government will not play fair.
The government will not act honorably.
The government likes to play dirty.
The government will lie, cheat, steal and even kill, to get what they want, which is your obedient willingness to sacrifice your own life and that of your children to keep funding Wall Street, Israel, and the military machine.
And if you've only just realised how bad things are, then you are probably finding out (the hard way), that its already too late.
This is what it feels like to be caught in a trap.
