The Government’s Addiction to ‘Secret Law’

The bitter irony is that we have a seated president that promised such things, but only stood to do the opposite. We simply can not trust the vast majority of our political body to do what they say, promise and in turn we elect them to do.

We are probably less than a couple decades away from a 1984-like dystopian future, or a very large scale block of civil unrest and domestic warfare. The increasing separation of classes combined with the duplicitous nature of politics and corporatism in the U.S. (let alone through the world) can not be strained much further without one of those results taking hold.

We still have the revolution-via-vote of rejecting the 2 major parties and casting in with the upstarts, even if they won't get in this time. It doesn't need to come down to unrest and violence. Rep vs Dem is a false dichotomy; it just has current momentum (which happens to be falling fast).
