There are different versions of history, some true and some simply what those in power wish to be told. Each time a supposed war was won for freedom, it was never actually won but instead those hidden that hold the actual power simply moved and hid people of importance and formed new plans.

The here in the USA, many enemies at the time that were British ended up joining American society but had hidden agendas still. The war with Hitler was no different with many enemies joining countries like America under new names but never facing punishment for crimes.

They allow people to believe a war was won and that something was achieved. Most cops probably believe they'll have a better place in society by doing the dirty work of their masters but their masters don't care about the cops. The cops are merely useful tools just like government used BLM and antifa as useful tools.

Government doesn't mind letting people think they won something because that keeps people peaceful but more important docile. When people believe they won and achieved their peace and freedoms, they will resume their lives and remove their attention away from government. It's a cycle that has gone on for thousands of years in many different forms.

Cops are just the current form of thugs that believe they can have special favors in life for doing the bidding of criminal governments. Governments serve hidden masters because they too believe they'll have a guarantee of longer lasting power and control.

The problem also is that power corrupts even honest people. It's a difficult thing to put someone in power and not have people become corrupt over time.
