    Whaaat !!!!!! Only on Fox ? Alright fox news, time to revisit that story. How in the hell does that not make at least one news cycle ? The sad part is not that this is shocking to believe, it's shocking in made the MSM reported it. Fox? Great a flock of pigs just flew in my house and are trashing it.

    Well it was Fox Business....not Fox News, and the fact the coverage was one time shows it was hushed quickly. But yeah, we all know this is true. We have the FEMA coffins a few miles south of my house in the tens of thousands too. That isn't a lie either. It just is what it is....criminal.

    This is not unique to FBI, Dept. of Homeland Security, other so called national defense agencies. If you think about it this is true of all institutions, they create an artificial need to legitimize their appearance of need maintaining the dependency of clueless population. From military (invading other countries for "defense", creating artificial conflicts maximizing arms sales, constantly advancing military tech requiring costly updated purchase by client "nations") to health (from maintaining the conditions of preventable diseases including unhealthy lifestyles / poor nutrition / pollution and toxins to potential creation of diseases / epidemics that then they would claim to treat) to legal system (arbitrary enforcement of parking and speeding tickets, to war against drugs, to legal entrapment and arbitrary application of laws against targeted individuals, encouraging the incarcerated to become criminals by undermining their future after their sentence supporting the prison industry) to education (poor education leaving population vulnerable and dependent on experts, increasing demands for recertification mostly as a way to finance the institutions), etc. etc.

    Capitalism has become increasingly cannibalistic, parasitical, and predatory as it has run out of room for growth globally. Expect much more of the same as more labor is laid off and replaced by machines leading to fewer consumers / shrinking market / more tech replacing workers / higher unemployment / lower tax revenues / more squeezing the poor out of their lives, vicious cycle, mass uprisings, new escape goats and means of fear to control population, police and paramilitary crackdown / arrests /"accidents and disappearances", new sources of "terror", new epidemics, new world war, etc. etc. ------> until a new global economic system evolves displacing capitalism and the rule of individual(s) / authority / institutions / government.
