YES, YOU ARE BEING MANIPULATED BY YOUR GOVERNMENT

So we think trolls are bad, let's try this. From the article:
"If there is one message that I’d like to get across on this subject, it is this:

Your rulers are immoral, rapacious, and unrestrained. They are building a hell for you and your children right now.

I’m sorry if that seems strong, but speaking the truth leaves me no option.

Big Brother did not come with elections and clear choices; it came riding on the usual human weaknesses: fear, greed, and servility."

So how does an Objectivist search for and find the truth in this type of environment?

    You're absolutely right about all the progress that's been made in spite of those in government. But today's efforts by those in power go so far beyond the ignorable, that I seriously question the ability of more than 5 - 10% (or less) of the population to comprehend and understand the true impact and danger. I find it harder and harder to understand the lack of outrage in this country to the revelations of these types of activities.

    Get out the steel wool and aluminum foil hat. Might need some ear plugs - oops, we're on the web. Now what?

    Sorry about that, you did send me a message. I did not get an email notification, which I usually do. Don't worry about sending another message if you have not already done so. Your book will be on its way.

    If you are looking for truth about all the nefarious things our government does, you cannot find it, all you can do is protect yourself as best as you can from their evil and incompetence. However, governments have always been rotten, and that has not stopped people from living honest, productive, and meaningful lives. Look away from the government and you'll find truth in all manner of human endeavor, past and present. Governments come and go, but look for truth, be truthful, and teach your children the truth. By the way, Zenphamy, you were one of the winners in my "What Made America Great" contest (your words rang true). Send me a PM with your address and I'll send you a signed copy of The Golden Pinnacle (speaking of enduring truths).

    Why would they use the European (England) spelling for neighbor? And behavior as well?

    While I have no doubt that some of this is occurring, I find it hard to believe that an American document would have European spelling.
