This country's founders never expected the US Constitution as written to last more than ten years and most predicted it would be rewritten every generation. Thomas Jefferson wrote that a standing army would lead to military adventurism, would ultimately turn on its own citizens and that has happened.

False flags, disaster capitalism, endless war: anyone who believes America is safer because of a border patrol and ICE agents filled with mercenaries is delusional.
