    This Government

    This government is negotiating autonomously with other governments for a merger of their interests, but against the interests of those it is charged with serving. This government has collapsed into a single party system of ruling elites. This government ensures its continuation by making false economic promises to its people. This government has robbed the wealth of its people by devaluing their savings, taking their property, and obligating them to great debt. This government strips personal liberties from its people in order that they learn not to resist it. This government has moved from a force of peace for the world to be among its largest threats. This government is willing to topple other governments without any provocation or permission. This government is now one with the military industrial complex and is willing to kill the population to further its own interests. This government has the means to achieve a totalitarian state in our executive, judicial, and legislative branches.

    I would rather not have awakened.
