Why does it have to be people from among the billion plus living on two dollars a day, who must risk their lives in the street? The Wall Street conglomerate dictatorship that has long owned the U.S. government and backs dictators like Mubarak, also imprisons and exploits Americans in its economy of greed. Why shall Americans sit stupefied, watching people in the neo-colonized third world die in the street?

Egyptians are dying in the street for the sake of all humanity, as well as for their own economic revolution and an end to a dictatorship controlled by the U.S.

People are protesting in the street for the same reason in Tunisia, Yemen, Palestinian, Jordan, Sudan, Algeria and Pakistan.

All this year, people have been in the streets in Europe, protesting, rioting, against bankster rule of their governments, their governments acceding to the demands of speculating investors, forcing austerity upon, and sacrifice from, the masses of ordinary citizens.

The English, the French, Spanish, Portuguese, Greeks, Irish, Icelanders, Latvians, Albanians and Italians have gone into the street over their bankster controlled governments denying them a normal life in return for their labor.

The European Union has deteriorating economic conditions for over-involvement with U.S. speculative investment bankstering. It demands unacceptable sacrifice of living standard in most member nations for having bailed out its banksters cooperating with those in the U.S.

This is also the primary reason of the eruption of public anger against dictatorship in the Middle East. Democracy, or democratic parliamentary representation, is the means by which the exploited and tortured hope to establish some pubic enterprise and be able to live in dignity, not privation once the dictators have been overthrown.

The head of the Arab League told the region's leaders that "the recent upheaval in Tunisia is linked to deteriorating economic conditions throughout the Arab world, warning them that their people's anger has reached unprecedented heights."

People are in the streets of the Middle East because they have awakened to their power to bring an end to their financial persecution by foreigners and a greedy minority enforced by a dictator.

In the U.S., when will Americans become fed up with their bankster owned government suffocating public enterprise at every level - town, city, state and federal, while taxpayer money is dutifully turned over to private investors to invest in cheaper labor abroad forcing its the nation to borrow from China. Aren't there still enough older people still alive who remember the government programs of the Roosevelt administration that put people to work building a better America and pushed through social benefit legislation like Social Security, Workers Compensation, and many others. How long will corporate owned and managed media and sources of information be able to continue to block out the knowledge of history and current events that could educate Americans to reality?

Aren't there enough older people still alive who grew up under the government programs of the Roosevelt administration that put people to work building a better America while social legislation like Social Security, Workers Compensation was pushed through?

Americans could protest what the Egyptians and others are afraid to, namely the projection of U.S. military power into the lives of most of the people on the planet.

At what point will a majority of Americans overcome their ignorance of the subjugation of the world to a U.S. led investment bankering establishment, and see they have be deceived by conglomerate owned media's propaganda, excusing and justifying imperialism?

When will events become so obvious that Americans will break out of their collaborationist mold and speak out in solidarity with exploited Mankind? Stop identifying with a government that does not represent America, but a Wall Street bankster cabal, of necessity, devoid of patriotism.

From the Korean war, through the wars in Vietnam, the Middle East and in the rest of Asia, Africa and Latin America, how many millions have died while Americans have slept?

Are not enough Americans presently suffering financial distress for all to see the connection between their situation and the plight of half the people on earth suffering U.S. predatory investment, financial intimidation, dictatorship and war?

If Americans could liberate their minds and media from corporate conglomerate control they could lead all humanity against the enormously costly preparations for war and massive WMD manufacture ongoing for many decades - led of course by the United States.

The press is filled with reports of how a war with space age technology is being prepared for. War is always the most profitable investment for banks. The Spanish-American - U.S.-Philippines War brought enormous investment opportunities. Monthly profits from capital investment during the First World War were measured in $millions and in the during the Second World War in $billions. A space age war with high tech WMD would be expected to generate profits in the trillions, something unavoidably attractive to bankers functioning under the amoral law of capital accumulation.

So, instead of merely protesting their plutocracy and their own economic exploitation through privately owned giant corporate investment banking institutions, Americans could go into the streets for all mankind and be demanding an end to imperialist wars and future war plans as well.

But right now the streets of the United States of America are strangely empty of the economic protests that are sweeping a good part of the world.
