Beyond shocking and extremely worrying; even more concerning, is the increasing vulnerability for courageous US citizens even at home, where the authorities so-called, are frankly mesmerized and brainwashed, by corporate media bias & manufactured designer hysteria that perpetuates a spiraling climate of wall-to-wall paranoia.
