Will Washington Kill Us All? — Paul Craig Roberts
http://www.paulcraigroberts.org/2015/04/15/will-washington-kill
Did you know that Washington keeps 450 nuclear ICBMs on “hair-trigger alert
”? Washington thinks that this makes us “safe.” The reasoning, if it can

To the 13 families living in the Western Pennsylvania village of Venice, Gen
. George Washington was an arrogant, elite Virginian who dared to claim
ownership of the land where they had built log cabins, grown crops and
conducted their lives for nearly 15 years.
To them, he was “the first true 1-percenter,” local historian Clayton
Kilgore said, recalling Occupy protesters’ description of wealthy Americans.
