USAF: Shoot Americans with Microwave Weapons
Someone recently asked me, “Why is it that you say America cannot be a republic and an empire?”
Well, my friend, here is your answer: The Secretary of the United States Air Force wants to shoot you with microwave weapons in order, he says, to justify shooting them at foreigners.
“If we’re not willing to use it here against our fellow citizens, then we should not be willing to use it in a wartime situation [and we really want to shoot them at foreigners as soon as possible].”
Now comes the test. Will he be immediately fired, or will we all soon see hippies burning on TV?
