I often used to wonder how Germany as it was during WWII happened.

I will never wonder again.
"Why, of course, the people don't want war. Why would some
poor slob on a farm want to risk his life in a war when the best that
he can get out of it is to come back to his farm in one piece.
Naturally, the common people don't want war; neither in Russia, nor in
England, nor in America, nor for that matter in Germany. That is
understood. But, after all, it is the leaders of the country who
determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the
people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or
a parliament, or a communist dictatorship.
Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the
bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them
they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of
patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in
any country."

Here are some links that show just how much is flying under the radar. Most of the things listed here are not even KNOWN to the majority of Americans.

Let us start with this video. Broussard the Jefferson Parish President CRYING as he explains how FEMA shut off their communications, kept needed resources from them while people were dying after Katrina. http://www.ohio.com/mld/ohio/news/14768114.htm
Stolen money from Ohio workers funds finds it's way into the pockets of Many high level politicians. Taft is also being investigated in an ethics probe.

Veteran POW's from the first Iraq war win a settlement in US courts. The bush administration goes to court to KEEP the money from the veterans claiming it needs all the money from the frozen Iraqi assets to rebuild Iraq.
Which leads us to...
The missing money.

>>One of the main benefactors of the Iraq funds was the Texas-based firm Halliburton, which was paid more than $1 billion out of those funds to bring in fuel for Iraqi civilians.
The monitoring board said despite repeated requests it had not been given access to U.S. audits of contracts held by Halliburton, which was once run by Vice President Dick Cheney, and other firms that used the development funds.<<
Halliburton gets an unusual amount of US contracts considering the problems which consistently arise around them such as..

Providing our troops with contaminated water.

There are also the claims of faulty Armor and vehicles.
The US Army, it was reported widely several months ago, was telling soldiers that they would lose their life insurance if they continued to use privately bought dragonskin armor.

Of course some of these are old and forgotten stories now...
What has Haliburton been up to lately?
Google Katrina and Halliburton.
They received a massive chunk for the clean up of Katrina.
