In this episode: I discuss Yemen, the worlds worst ongoing humanitarian crisis. As of this writing May 27th, 2022, the crisis in Ukraine enters its third month as Yemen has been in crisis for more than seven years. The crisis in Ukraine dominates the western media yet you will not hear them mention Yemen. People the world over are sharing their vows of "I stand with Ukrain", yet most have no idea the crisis in Yemen continues.
I recently ordered business cards from Vista Print, and in the bottom of the shipping box was a sticker " I stand with Ukraine". The United States has committed to a $44 BILLION dollar aid package for Ukraine consisting of weapons and cash aid for it's citizens. Yet the US has only given $4.5 billion in aid to Yemen in seven years. According to google as of March 16, 2022.
I have nothing against the people of Ukraine and sympathize with them, however it kills me that people are virtue signaling to such a great degree while ignoring the crisis in Yemen completely. We have become so indoctrinated here in the US and this virtue signaling is a perfect example of this. People believe what the government wants them to believe. If it comes through that little box and the government confirms it , it must be true it appears.
I for one am still capable of critical thinking and take what the government tells me with a grain of salt knowing of the many times our government has lied to the people in the past. The US government has committed MANY atrocities, many against it's own people. We usually do not find out about these atrocities and crimes against its own citizens and humanity until decades later when a journalist sues the government to release records through the Freedom Of Information Act or FOIA.
The government has recently released more information on the assassination of president Kennedy, yet is still withholding the majority of documents under the guise of national security some 50 years after the event. This hints at the government being complicit. For if the people were to learn that their own government had a hand in the killing of a sitting president we would all lose faith in the government and there would be riots in the streets. What other way could an event 50 years in our past effect national security in the present? I have not met a single person that believes the governments official claim of a lone gunman and the "magic bullet" theory.
Once you start to dig a little, the entrance to the rabbit hole is revealed and down you go into an endless maze of government conspiracies that at face value seem insane and implausible, that is until you begin to research them.
Some of my favorite PROVEN US government conspiracies are Operation Northwoods, Operation Sea Spray, Operation MK Ultra, Operation Midnight Climax, Operation Mongoose, Operation Paperclip, and Operation COINTELPRO.
Take a peek down this rabbit hole, and there is no going back. You have now chosen the RED PILL as Morpheus in the Matrix explains you will learn things you might wish you never knew. For those about to rock, I salute you (AC/DC punn). For if we do not know the evils our government is committing in our name, we have no hope of stopping these or similar atrocities from happening again in the future.
Thank you for tuning in, and enjoy the journey down the rabbit hole. Knowledge is power. Keep on digging.
