The U.S. government, in its pursuit of so-called monsters, has itself become a monster.
It is not a new development, nor is it a revelation.
It is a government that has in recent decades unleashed untold horrors upon the world, including its own citizenry, in the name of global conquest, the acquisition of greater wealth, scientific experimentation, and technological advances, all packaged in the guise of the greater good.
Mind you, there is no greater good when the government is involved. There is only greater greed for money and power.
Unfortunately, the public has become so easily distracted by the political spectacle in Washington, D.C., that it is altogether oblivious to the grisly experiments, barbaric behavior and inhumane conditions that have become synonymous with the U.S. government.
These horrors are being meted out against humans and animals alike.
It’s heartbreaking enough when you hear about police shooting family dogs that pose no threat, beloved pets that are seemingly guilty of little more than barking, or wagging a tail, or racing towards them in greeting, at an alarming rate somewhere in the vicinity of 500 dogs a day.
What I’m about to share goes beyond heartbreaking to horrifying.
For instance, did you know that the U.S. government has been buying hundreds of dogs and cats from Asian meat markets as part of a gruesome experiment into food-borne illnesses? The cannibalistic experiments involve killing cats and dogs purchased from Colombia, Brazil, Vietnam, China, and Ethiopia, and then feeding the dead remains to laboratory kittens, bred in government laboratories for the express purpose of being infected with a disease and then killed.
It gets more gruesome.
The Department of Veterans Affairs has been removing parts of dogs’ brains to see how it affects their breathing; applying electrodes to dogs’ spinal cords (before and after severing them) to see how it impacts their cough reflexes; and implanting pacemakers in dogs’ hearts and then inducing them to have heart attacks (before draining their blood). All of the laboratory dogs are killed during the course of these experiments.
It’s not just animals that are being treated just like lab rats by government agencies.
“We the people” have become the police state’s guinea pigs: To be caged, branded, experimented upon without our knowledge or consent, and then conveniently discarded and left to suffer from the after-effects.
Indeed, you don’t have to dig very deep or go back in the Nation’s history to uncover numerous cases in which the government deliberately conducted secret experiments on an unsuspecting populace, citizens and non-citizens alike, making healthy people sick by spraying them with chemicals, injecting them with infectious diseases and exposing them to airborne toxins.
These incidents are just the tip of the iceberg in the atrocities the government has inflicted on an unsuspecting populace in the name of secret experimentation.
For instance, there was the U.S. military’s secret race-based testing of mustard gas on more than 60,000 enlisted men during World War II. And then there was the CIA’s MKULTRA program in which hundreds of unsuspecting American civilians and military personnel were secretly dosed with LSD.
The more things change, the more they stay the same.
Case in point: In 2016, it was announced that scientists working for the Department of Homeland Security would begin releasing various gases and particles on crowded subway platforms as part of an experiment aimed at testing bioterror airflow in New York subways. The government insisted that the gases were nontoxic and did not pose a health risk.
Mind you, this is the same government that in 1949 sprayed bacteria into the Pentagon’s air handling system, then the world’s largest office building. In 1950, special ops forces sprayed bacteria from Navy ships off the coast of Norfolk and San Francisco, in the latter case exposing all of the city’s 800,000 residents.
In 1965, the government’s experiments in bioterror took aim at Washington’s National Airport, followed by a 1966 experiment in which army scientists exposed one Million subway NYC passengers to airborne bacteria that causes food poisoning.
It is the same government that has taken every bit of technology sold to us as being in our best interests, GPS devices, surveillance, non-lethal weapons, and used it against us, to track, control and trap us.
The question remains: Why is the government doing it?
The answer is always the same: Money, power and total domination.
It’s the same answer no matter which totalitarian regime is in power.
The horrors being meted out against the American people can be traced back, in a direct line, to the horrors meted out in Nazi laboratories. According to The New York Times, in the decades after World War II, the U.S. aggressively recruited at least a thousand Nazis, including some of Hitler’s highest henchmen.
All told, thousands of Nazi collaborators, including the head of a Nazi concentration camp, among others, were given secret visas, brought to America by way of Project Paperclip, and then camouflaged to ensure that their true identities and ties to Hitler’s holocaust machine would remain unknown.
Clearly, this is not a government that has our best interests at heart.
To the architects of the American police state, “we the people” are merely the means to an end.
It is how the government can justify treating us like lab rats to be experimented upon and discarded when we’ve outgrown our usefulness.
In this way, “we the people, who think, who reason, who take a stand, who resist, who demand to be treated with dignity and care, who believe in freedom and justice for all, have become obsolete, undervalued citizens of a totalitarian state that, in the words of Rod Serling, “has patterned itself after every dictator who has ever planted the ripping imprint of a boot on the pages of history since the beginning of time.”
In this sense, we are all Romney Wordsworth, the condemned man in Serling’s Twilight Zone episode “The Obsolete Man.”
“The Obsolete Man” speaks to the dangers of a government that views people as expendable once they have outgrown their usefulness to the State. Yet—and here’s the kicker—this is where the government through its monstrous inhumanity also becomes obsolete. Serling noted in his original script for “The Obsolete Man,” “Any state, any entity, any ideology which fails to recognize the worth, the dignity, the rights of man…that state is obsolete.”
How do you defeat a monster? I make clear in my book, “Battlefield America: The War on the American People,” you start by recognizing the monster for what it is.
