Statehood Slipping Away Through Citizens’ Fingers
Summary: Why the paramilitaries need to be chased out of the state, for they only reduce national security and increase human toll
Paramilitaries are typically the tools of tyrants, but now even the United States has them, and they’re out of control [1]. They do illegal things [2] and the government has no power or even the will to stop them. Those who expose the paramilitaries [3-7] say that the leaders should be tried for murder [8] of thousands [9].
Recent developments in Iran [10] teach us that the paramilitaries have lied to us [11]. The paramilitaries are torturing innocent people in pursuit of the threat that makes paramilitaries seem necessary and the paramilitaries won’t let the public know the truth [12,13,14]. It is rather telling. The paramilitaries just want to recruit some spies [15], so they detain innocent people (with strong opinions) and make a farce of the legal system [16]. The paramilitaries’ power is derived from our fears and the phantom enemies which they create by provocation (assassinating many people without trial). Those paramilitaries have ties with Wall Street and they would rather we focued on phantom enemies rather than on those who steal trillions of dollars from us (robbing us blind).
The Western states are being taken over by paramilitaries. We need to take the state back from them. In the next post we’ll show the latest NSA scandals (aside for playing a role in thousands of assassinations without trial). █

Homeland: US-Iran Deal Shows CIA Thriller out of Touch
It’s been hailed as a breakthrough agreement that could thaw Iran’s relationship with the West.
