still this isn't the only thing iv seen/read some makes sense some don't (like always) but i really don't think the US is what it used to be (i mean like a totally different place).

and so what if i was living just fine? i would rather know whats bad and whats good i would want the truth no matter how harsh it is.

Okay, you've been introduced to fear mongering, congratulations. Crazy liberals do it as much as crazy conservatives. Yes, the U.S. is not a very nice place when you look at some of the things happening that are ordered by the government. BUT, that whole video is grossly misstating A LOT of things.

Example (Since I didn't want to look into every point they brought up, but I'm sure the results would be the same): The last one, number thirty, says that we are capital and cites executive order #13037. If you actually look up that EO, it is the forming of a commission to research and report how capital is being spent. Then if you look up human capital, which IS mentioned in the EO, you will find out that human capital is just what your job skill sets are worth, IE: You went to a technical college for 2 years and got a certification/degree. Your skills sets in the lets say computer industry are worth more then mine because I'm not going to college for that.

It's a whole different language almost, and that's where people can trick others, when they blatantly misuse terms, like the one above.

Stopped viewing at #4, concluded the following 26 would include more fear-mongering and misuse of terms, much like the talking heads on T.V. It helps to have an abnormal obsession with Ecnomics.

It contradicts it's self. Says the US Government has no agencies, then says that the IMF (who the **** is that?) is an agency of the US Government.

Makes me want to move to.....

Motha Russia!!

But not really. That was a pretty lame attempt at striking fear into people's souls. Too many videos/articles out there that try that stuff all the time.
