Can The Government Hide The Truth From Us For 37 Years? You Bet.
When a person with no political power does something wrong, chances are they will pay for it. When the government does something wrong, like say killing four innocent and unarmed college students using very intentional military force, everyone gets away with it, and the truth remains hidden until few people care about it.
The Kent State Massacre was a moment that defined a generation. Student protesters were trying to stop the war in Vietnam by demonstrating to President Nixon how they felt. That's a good thing. That's how our country works. If you don't like something, you show that you don't like and organize with like minds until the government notices.
Among the many things that our current president has in common with Richard Nixon is the fact that they dislike the United States of America. They hate American freedom, they hate American citizens. When Richard Nixon told the governor to suppress the student demonstrations at Kent State, it was clear that he did not just want to make sure the situation didn't get out of hand. He wanted to scare the college students with machine guns and tanks. It was a message to students across the country: the president has more firepower than the American people.
It was finally revealed this week that the tragedy at Kent State was not started by some rogue soldier in the Ohio National Guard. The order to fire was given from an officer at a time when none of the uniformed military present was in any conceivable danger. That little fact is historically monumental, and it has been hidden from the American public for the past 37 years.
Richard Nixon spent the last 25 years of his life - and tens of millions of dollars to a public relations firm - trying to trick Americans into thinking there was a conspiracy against him and he wasn't the monster he was made out to be. The truth is, Richard Nixon was far worse than we could have ever imagined. He should have been hanged, shot, and dragged around the beltway, so even the poor people living in the projects would be able to sleep well, knowing beyond reasonable doubt that the evil tyrant was dead.
President Bush holds the same contempt for the American people as Nixon once did. He is brash enough to surround himself with like-minded bigots and warhawks. He truly believes that he will be the one who leads the human race into Armageddon and the final battle with Satan. He prides himself on his faith, despite a long history of drug and alcohol abuse, sexual deviancy, and forcing abortions on partners. Of course, that's not even taking into account the countless lives he has wasted in a war that he knew was pointless from the start. What part of his personal faith is he so proud of? Perhaps the fact that he believes there is someone out there who knows everything he's done and will still forgive him. God knows no human who knew Bush's sordid past could possibly forgive him.
