The U.S. Government Lied To You
by Michael Rivero

Excerpt:
Those who were wrong will never admit it, of course. They will scream that those who saw through the lie are just being un-American or unpatriotic. But it is not an act of patriotism to believe the government when it lies to you, it is the act of a fool and a coward, because the government does not have a legal or moral right to lie to the people. Check out the U.S. Constitution. Nowhere in there is the government explicitly granted the authority to lie to the people who pay the costs for all that the government does, good or bad. When a government lies to the people, it acts unconstitutionally and illegally and is no longer the lawful government. It therefore cannot be an act of patriotism to believe the government when it lies. It is the act of a traitor to support the lies of an unlawful government.

1. We have traitors posing as patriots in the government
The US has been overrun by traitors posing as patriots falsely accusing patriots of being unpatriotic because the patriots won't blindly follow the traitors.
