12. Tell your scared friends and family...

... to just change the channel. The ISIS propaganda has been pumped out for over a month now. When it comes on, I either turn stations or just turn the TV off altogether. I don't know why our leaders listen to and believe anything that comes out of our Intel agencies mouths. They lied us into war 13 years ago, and they're doing the same thing now.

The trouble comes when the people & our elected officials believe the lies. War is a racket, TeeYIYI. It enriches the owners of the Military Industrial Contractors, bankrupts our country and kills our countrymen/ladies in uniform.

Peace to you, your family and friends.
