Then, we have the de facto governments using armed and dangerous enforcers, judges (so-called) enforcing virtually any anti-freedom, pro-tyranny made up by legislators, other officials, and the armed forces coercing compliance and, simultaneously protecting the legislators and other officials. What a racket.

Controlling the de facto governments are the International criminally operating bankers that care not how many people they kill or destroy in their quest to dominate all people and resources on this planet we call Earth.

What we do NOT have, in a sense, is a State of the "Union" because the union as established no longer exists. We have states in which we can do this but not that, while the other state allows that but not this. An example is concealed carry, when the fact is both states are wrong. We need no permission from any government to engage in any act that does not intentionally harm another, and that includes the right to keep and bear arms. That is freedom.

We also have diversity of cultures that obliterates any semblance of a union. I read a while back that there are 86 languages spoken in Los Angeles. Whether factual or not does not mean much, since if only two are spoken and no language, mores, etc. are in common, it is not a union of people but two cultures living in proximity.

The Mexican culture, for example, is not the American culture, any more than the Latino culture is the Mexican culture or the original Eskimo culture, or that the American culture is the same as the Native Americans' culture. Black, as most surely know, is not the same as white, nor are their cultures.

By the heavens above, there is nothing wrong with that; it is as it should be as long as both respect the other's culture, and as long as governing bodies do not force cultures and races to mix, or "take" rights from one to give to the other.

"Take" in this case means to oppress the rights of one, while expanding the rights, actually privileges I should think, of the other. Of course, this destroys equality, thereby destroying justice and the American way that is our culture.

However, we must understand this. If it is within the same country, multiple cultures do not work to maximum success, unless every culture assimilates into the country's original culture (the culture that existed at its founding).
