I'm student at Orange Coast Community College and an avid reader of the news. I'm majoring in political science with a minor in film and creative writing. Ever since I was a child, I was always fascinated with politics and government ever since I bore witness to the first Gulf War of 1990. I was only eight years old, but right then and there the first question that popped up in my head was: Why did we fight in the first place? And how does one democratic country decide to wage war against another country? Now I'm twenty four years old and I'm still asking the same questions, but not finding any clear answers.

I don´t know what I am talking about and don´t listen to a word I say because I don´t know what the fuck I am talking about most of the time.

If you recall in Part One of this series, Bill, my sign twirling friend, believed there were invisible forces at work to implement a one world government, which is named a New World Order. He believes that these invisible forces will purposely bring economic devastation to America in order to “bala...

I have seen Lou Dobbs rant about it on television.
“Good evening, everybody. Tonight, an astonoshing proposal to expand our borders to incorporate Mexico and Canada and simultaneously further diminish U.S. sovereignty. Have our political elites gone mad?” -June 9, 2005.
