Wake up, America!

Dear Editor,

I sat in an American History class and I paid attention. Few Americans these days care about patriotism, freedom, liberties, truth, and integrity, all the things this country used to stand for.

It dawned on me that I care more about this country, than I care about some relatives or friends. That’s because I seem to care more about letting them know what’s going on, than whether they cared about hearing it. They chalked me up as a nut job, and I chalked them up as worthless, useless Americans.

Americans are so busy with their lives to pay attention to what’s going on. Americans are going to wake up one day to discover America is gone. Did you know that only 3 percent of Americans spend leisure time reading? That means that 97 percent are depending on the T.V. to inform them about what’s going on. God help us all.

Several years ago I discovered, that all was certainly not as it seemed. I discovered outrageous, gutwrenching, diabolical lies and deceit going on in America. I discovered just how deep the rabbit hole really was. It turned my insides out. It felt like I was living in one reality and the vast majority of the universe lived in some fairy-tale‚ alternate reality. I read voraciously. I listened to talk radio. I tried like the dickens to alert other people about what I had discovered. I gave away countless books and DVD’s. I may as well have pounded sand. Because, it dawned on me that, they didn’t care, they never did care, and they never will care! I have the consolation of knowing that they will one day figure it all out, regardless. It will be too late then.

Congratulations to you, if you understand what I’m talking about. It means you are a truth seeker. It means you are nobody’s fool.
