Five years of your social media just to visit the US on an ESTA, and 50,922 phone searches at the border in a single year with no suspicion needed. Part 1 of my Five Eyes series: who else gets to see it?

Yes, entire villages are not being indiscriminately murdered by the government inside the US while all factions capable of overthrowing it fight eachother, nor are they experiencing an ebola outbreak while hospital workers go months without pay.

I meet lots of people go to the US, none who go to Myanmar, even though that's way closer.

Yeah because they do it overseas

I know a lot of people leaving the US, and murdering villages in the US...only currently not, at least now with citizens they do, but also in the rest of the world since more than half a century until today

You won’t see anyone admit it on this site, but the 2A keeps villages safe in the USA.

And yes, country folks can defeat the US army. It happened in Vietnam and the Middle East, it can happen at home.

Vietnam had a regular army including fighter jets and held half the country.

Iraq pt II had support from foreign powers and military hardware.

The 2A folks in America are itching to be brown shirts, they're the ones who will be massecring villages.
