SRS Interview - Mike Benz

[Father Goose]

This was certainly a lot to take in and analyze. While I'm sure a lot of statements need to be verified, enough of what was explained seems to fill in the pieces of what we can already observe in the world (in a way that is more than likely rather accurate). Also, I think it provides some context regarding the pushes we see happening in the U.S., especially related to personal freedoms (including firearms) and information. Here is what was on my mind after the interview:

The thing about using all manners of coercion against others, under the justification of "for the good of the country" or "to further/secure our interests", is that eventually this mindset will cause a government to redirect these efforts inward. Becoming so drunk with greed and power that, in the end, it will attack its own people with the same measures marketed as necessities for "national security", "public safety", or "quality of life".

Many countries have seen this before and I think the U.S. is seeing it now. The fabric of lies and opaque measures designed to cast an illusion for the people - that cloaks any reason to look around and question - is tearing. Because the government allows or is a direct party to harms against the people, it becomes increasingly fearful about losing stability; possibly to the point of internal conflict. However, using the bag of "dirty tricks" in an attempt to regain control can become the catalyst for rebellion. However, if the government can successfully control the information space and remove private weapon ownership, it greatly lessens both the chance and duration of any potential uprising. Again, "stability" and "peace" through coercion.

Another obvious side of this gets into ethics, etc. and that can be saved for another day (brain needs a break).
