One of my favorite movie series was Star Wars especially episode IV. Watching this movie series about a band of freedom fighters fighting a Galactic Empire that was dictatorial, yet had many of it's citizens believing they are part of a free republic. The premise of the Empire was interesting. They maintained controlled by lies and tricking their people into believing they were free when in fact they were not. When citizens began to see through the lies, the empire destroyed them in the most criminal, ruthless way which at times generated more enemies to where a band of freedom fighters called the Rebel Alliance began to fight back against the Empire and it's lies.
The Galatic Empire in Star Wars reminds me of the United States today. The US government has tricked it's people into believing they have true freedom when in fact they do not. And like the Galatic Empire in Star Wars, the US has committed terrible war crimes against other people while keeping it's own people in the dark. It is spectatcular achievement of propaganda by the US government and the rich people who control the government and the media.
At one time, America had respect. It had some real freedoms. Now, however, the US has transformed into this empire that their forefathers fought against in 1776. It has turned into the Evil Galactic Empire that we watched in the Star Wars movies. The US lies it's people into wars for stupid reasons for oil and profit. The US also keeps it's people in the dark about the millions of citizens who have died at the hands of their government. It has become the "Evil Empire" that Reagan spoke about when referring to the Soviet Union. When will America be a true free nation again?
