Kids can work 25 hours to earn a bike at the Blackstone Bicycle Works on Chicago's tough South Side. But for them, it's far more than just transportation. (Oct. 31)

Either you believe it or not.

This is a video from a soldiers camera.

@theguyisinthailand I know people who have served internationally and people looking for serving internationally. Their work is mostly to secure roads for IEDs, provide medical aid to civilians and fight off insurgents.

Those weren't facts, those were conspiracy theories. It seems like you forget that people with power are still humans... not machines. Problem is people disliking them will manipulate all aspects of information in order to make them seem evil... and fools buy it... no offense.

@Mikkhep

Go out and get in the fight and learn something as the fight is on now/today...

I gave you facts and if you know any c-i-a people first hand, they can look the stuff up about the safe house that the US Military was told to destroy with all people in it.

People with power will kill or anything they wish to do at the time, it is pure evil and the work of the devil.

@theguyisinthailand In the late 80s the Cold War was still active...

@Mikkhep My brother know a man who was running guns into Afghanistan in the late 1980's and he also admitted he was running things from South America into US air fields(military and non-military).

That man was at a c-i-a safe house during the invasion of Panama in '89 and the apartment was targeted & blown up for some reason, killing all the guys that worked as sub-contractors doing Iran-Contra activities.

Many other stories tell of the same thing going on, the evidence is not circumstantial...

@theguyisinthailand You are in way over your head.

US problems starts as any other countries problems would start; they break out from society and its not something the governments may be able to control.

Are you seriously taking events happening 175 years ago and use as an argument to prove a conspiracy theory? You think this is have been some centuries long conspiracy / scam ?

The CIA are not drug runners you moron.

How many fat cat right wing Republican shit stains live on Chicago's South side, or even have had the balls to visit? Yeah, what I thought. So you know what they say about walk a mile in somebody else's shows, THEN flap your gums, otherwise you're just making noise. Yeah, it is a rough area infested with gangs. Last year some teen got repeatedly hit with a RAILROAD TIE until he was dead. That kind of area. These kids are trying to survive.

This is what American people really aim to do.

@theguyisinthailand Have you ever been in the rest of the world? Its all like that.

That gotta be the most retarded and absurd theory I have ever heard in my entire life. It is urban areas with drugs sales all around the world, but I guess since its in USA the government or CIA must be responsible for it, right? Idiot, excuse my language but that is truly the word fitting.

Are you seriously suggesting that crack head gangsters are CIA agents or working for the government...? My god...
