In short, I'm pretty sure the U.S. government is doing almost everything it possibly can to encourage extremist behavior. What I don't understand is why.
I'll tell you why... Weapons sales. Basically, that. Then Cheney's old buddies at Halliburton were given all the contracts to provide troop-support services and rebuilding contracts.
Are they trying to bring about the end of the world, or are they really that clueless?
I'd not say clueless, but shrewd. Since the inception of 'central banks', it's been the mission of the moneylenders to own every government they can. They finance both sides of an election. Those paid-for politicians are just talking heads that spew corporate FUD anywhere they can with talk of nameless, faceless people who will wage a continual war on Western nations. Who cares about the world when you have the modern-day's equivalent to 'bread and circuses'... Cheetos and YouTube.
It's pretty easy to fulfill 'prophecy' (all that end-of-the-world crap) if you already have a roadmap written out for you!
You legalize drugs, obvs.
Yes.. everywhere. Now you have cartels buying Colorado weed and smuggling it back to Mexico to sell at a profit to the wealthy who live there. This world needs to stop looking to the USA for legal advice and policy and do it their own way.

Who says that 'someone' is on their payroll?
