SHOULD I TRUST THE GOVERNMENT?

Only the people of Japan and Spain trust their government less than the people of the U.S. trust our government. The confluence of government and business has created a corporate fascist surveillance state. Trust in government, politicians, bankers, and the media is plummeting. This will drive the next phase of this Fourth Turning.

80 percent of people surveyed in 27 markets across the globe distrust their governments, businesses or both, according to Edelman’s 2015 Trust Barometer. Looking at several key countries in the survey, distrust is most rampant in Britain, France, Germany, Russia and the United States.

Falling trust levels for 2015 come as little surprise given last year’s events. 2014 saw the largest outbreak of Ebola in history, civil war in Ukraine and two mysterious disasters for Malaysia Airlines, amongst others. Trust is higher in developing nations including China and India where 82 percent of respondents in both nations trust their governments.

In Russia, 54 percent of people trust their government compared to 45 percent who trust the business sector. In the United States, however, business comes before government for trust. 60 percent of Americans trust business compared to just 41 percent who trust the government. In countries badly affected by the financial crisis like Spain, it comes as no surprise that trust levels in the government are extremely low – just 26 percent. People are more optimistic about business and it’s trusted by 43 percent of people.

At least, Americans of today share the mistrust of government that the Founders demonstrated over two hundred years ago. There is hope…

“Should I trust the governemnt?”
Of course you should trust the government. What a ridiculous question.
The government’s like a combination of God, your parents, and your boss.
The government schooled you, trained you, and has taken care of you. The government has been and is your true parent.
The government gives you your rights. The government’s your God.
The government is always watching you and evaluating you. The government’s your boss.
Your name, your number, your income, your whereabouts, and every aspect of your life is of concern to your government. Your government cares about you.
You should love the government and most assuredly you should trust your God, your parent, and your boss… the government.

Here’s Judge Alsup (District Court for Northern California) dismissing a suit for misrepresentation against the Treasury:
“Plaintiff seeks [a declaratory finding of misrepresentation] whereby this Court would regulate what the Treasury can and cannot say on this subject. This remarkable proposition has no support in the law. Our elected leaders necessarily adopt policy positions. By virtue of their ‘bully pulpit,’ they necessarily receive more attention than the rest of us. Nonetheless, it cannot possibly be the law that this circumstance violates anyone’s right to say whatever they want about public policy. To rule otherwise would invite thousands of lawsuits by those seeking to regulate through the courts what elected officials and their appointees can and cannot say in support of public policy. This would be an unthinkable result. Mr. Johnson’s claim is rejected on the merits.”

I always wondered if the CIA or other agencies colluded to discredit Manning and messed him/her up with drugs resulting in sex change-Chelsea Elizabeth Manning[4] (born Bradley Edward Manning, December 17, 1987) is a United States Army soldier who was convicted in July 2013 of violations of the Espionage Act and other offenses, after releasing the largest set of classified documents ever leaked to the public.

Things are not going well for the international Zionazi* crime cabal. I urge you to read the article linked below in its entirety. Methinks that you might find hope in what this informed individual has to say. Cheers.

Pennsylvania judge sentenced to 28 years in prison for selling teens to prisons

During his sentencing Ciavarella was defiant, claiming he had broken no laws and claimed the money he received was a legitimate ‘finder’s fee.’ Assistant U.S. Attorney Gordon Zubrod said comments such as these were typical of Ciavarella, according to the local reporting of citizensvoice.com:
