No matter who they are blowing the whistle on. This is what happens when a nation is in it's death throes. CENSORSHIP AND CONTROL(SPYING).
At this point America is declining and will continue to, no matter how our economic health is presented to us. This is why preventing whistle blowing is tantamount to the government(democrat or republican).
We have a failing educational system, a few generations that completely lack the ability to think critically or for themselves.
We have a health care system, with or without the affordable care act, that puts profit over people.
Our prison system is designed to profit off of poor people, people who would otherwise provide little to no profit for corporations/banks.
Just about everything we CAN buy breaks in two years or less.
Taxes are high, which in itself isn't bad. The fact that we receive very little for the taxes we pay is absolutely terrible.
There are going to be war crime reparation payments in our very near future most likely surpassing what the Germans were required to pay out.
Our military tech is decades old. China's tech on the other hand is brand spanking new. They surpass us in virtually every area. Russia isn't close behind China(you will NEVER hear this from the MSM).
Most of the world's population despises us, our direct neighbors despise us.
Our roads are crumbling.
Whole cities are in decay.
Our food is toxic and our soil is deplete of nutrients.
Our children are addicted to tech that does little to expand their minds.
Social skills are in a state of decline.
Most people are overworked and underpaid.
I could go on and on and on. WE ARE THIRD WORLD!
And it isn't going to get better until things get much much much MUCH worse because................................................
The News says things are getting better and we will all be OK.
