Blog #4 - Military Operations that are hidden from the General Population

Wonder why we never hear about covert operations that happen in the west? A huge reason as to why is because the media sources focus on mainstream events that take place in the US and disasters that happen in rural places such as the west. I've come to realize that the public is being hidden from the real truth that we need to hear. A big reason as to why we never hear about the media sustaining from real-world news is because the government doesn't want to scare our population into thinking that we are doing the wrong thing. as the government knows they aren't making the most legal and notable decisions. When speaking specifically about why our government would silence anti-war websites, in general, is for a simple reason, and that is capitalism. War, like anything, in the United States is treated like a business. National arms deals bring in a substantial portion of the government's funding. If the citizens of the United States were more aware of information that would make going to war difficult without an uprising by the people, they would lose a lot of money. When looking at the latest news during the BLM protest, the citizens around the united states wanted to defund the police for a mass amount of actions that could have been dealt in other non lethal way. knowing that a huge number of our population doesn't know the actual truth about what our nation does behind the scenes, it would bring a huge uproar to the funding of the military. Thus, many would be chanting and rioting to defund the military for unnecessary missions that could get us into un wanted war. The American people have the fundamental right to talk back to the government, as this is called Protect Dissent. We have the right to tell the government "No government we do not want you going into Syria to chase out unwanted Russians" Ex "No government we do not want you trading black listed sources with China". We have the First Amendment Right to chose where we put our money and whether its worth it for our country. These sources are extremely important as its an eye opener the media does not cover them.
