One of the horrible consequences of the national-security state apparatus that was grafted onto America’s governmental system is how it has oftentimes placed Americans in the position of choosing between morality and obedience to the law.
Just this week, we have been reminded of the conflict between morality and law back in 1971, during the height of the Cold War, the “war” that was used to justify the existence of the national-security state apparatus in the first place.
The federal government was illegally targeting American citizens who were protesting and demonstrating against the national-security state’s war in Vietnam. In a free society, people are free to protest and demonstrate against anything they want. Freedom entails letting the government know that one is opposed to what it is doing. Freedom entails having the right to persuade government that it is doing wrong and to change direction. Freedom entails persuading other people to take a stand against government wrongdoing.

The reason the Feds were targeting them then was to keep them from destroying American values now.
They were then and are now the counter culture.
They are the Communist sympathizers, the leftists, the liberals, the Marxists that are ruining America now and have been brainwashing American children in public schools for 30 years.
They have co-opted and stolen America right before our very eyes.
Whats the big secret?
It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see it.
