    I felt this feeling as we were finding out we invaded Iraq under false pretenses to make money for blackrock. We never did anything. I figured people would change but after voting in same clown after the shitshow he did last time……

      The average American reads at an 8th grade level, with slightly more than half reading at a 6th grade level.

      We have been cognitively neutered, by design.

      Didn’t that actually happen (not the Blackrock part)? I thought it came out in a Congressional hearing that there was oil which motivated the whole thing. The U.S. went in to find WMDs but after many years could not find evidence of any.

        It was just because W wanted to finish what his dad started and remove Saddam. There was no exit plan or grand strategy.

            As a dictator he weaponized his ethnic minority to violently oppress the majority. The people in Iraq had no say.
