The degree to which this country has turned on it's own people is just another indicator that we really don't have any legitimate external threats. We've been complacent and lost control of our country (long ago), and now it's the troublemaker of the world, and now it's cannibalizing us as well.

fracking is dangerous, and I encourage monkeywrenching. Do what you need to do to protect people and the environment. The police in this country are enemies, they do not care about the law.

Republicans have always use cops as their muscles.

Frack the government.

We all need to go underground and revolt against this country. Sabotage, whatever it takes. these bullshit shows do nothing for us. Bitching and moaning..doing nothing of consequence. What Americans really fear deep down inside...is the cops and the military. Go underground. sabotage!

the oil and gas companies own the police

It is unreal. I mean how do we even believe this? It's almost like TYT are making this up. but....it's the truth. I challenge you to imagine the most fucked up thing you can imagine our government doing and then wait 10 or 20 years.....it'll come true.

Before this video i thought that "fracking" was just a made up word used in BSG to replace fuck. ^^

I love America, it's this "head of the world" civilized country, but oops, it's actually a corrupted money driven crazyland. Oh well, I feel sorry for all the intelligent/good hearted US citizens.

@sargetech sorry to assume you were democrat.. and yes, I have the same view on republicans.. because they're not really republicans, just like democrats aren't really democrats. They're all fascists! And both sides have sold us out to the Criminal banksters, the Military Industrial Complex, and Global corporations! And as far as Ron Paul, he's the only one talking about ending the wars and removing the Federal Reserve Bank... And those two issues are the only issues that will save us
