What ought to be the priorities of the nation is dealt with as if we the people had no rights to live a life of true values, a right to a good education, to a life in peace and dignity and a right to have our voices heard in matters of national and individual importance. Wake up America! We have a right to be rewarded for hard work, we have the right to choose the life we want to live. Instead we have become the slaves of the masters of greed, to be exploited the way black people were outrageously exploited in the days of slavery.

And there is not even ONE man or woman in a position of political power who screams out 'Stop the wars, stop the killing, stop the injustice, stop the hatred.' No, we are made to believe that the never-ending wars are necessary because they are wars against 'terrorism', a convenient term that became a trade-name for the dirty wars blamed on 9/11 . Sure, there was terrorism, terrorism that we created, we the United States of America, through our greed and unending efforts to steal the resources of the entire world, to dominate the planet, to own the world.

And the pundits of the mass media nod their heads and say We are the best, so we have rights that others don't have, we alone can dominate the entire world. We have to own the food, we have to own the oil, we have to control the world with our military bases that are installed on all the continents of the planet. We are building the thousand-year Reich.

But hubris is always followed by a massive downfall. The power-hungry madmen who run the world today will see the end of their self-proclaimed empire, and the end is not far away. The lack of realism will spell the doom, the lack of understanding how the world is a place with thousands and thousands of different life styles, each one with an equal right to exist. This total lack of clear vision is going to spell the downfall of this self-sufficient and arrogant empire. The invader can never win in a country where the people are fighting for their own survival and their

dignity. The people will always win out in the end.

The empire is in tatters and the total undoing of its once awesome-looking powers is close at hand.

Addendum:

Globalization has made the world so uniform in its common trend of favoring the big corporations and the super-rich minorities that the tendency to include myself in the plight of the American people became a natural way of thinking and writing. Since I have lived and worked in three different countries, including many years in the USA, the borders between them and the differences between them have become blurred and I feel as if I belong in the United States just as much as in France.

Even though Sweden is indeed a case in itself, France is more and more having the same problems as the U.S. When I instinctively speak out as if I were part of the American public, it certainly indicates the universality of the problems the world has to face.

However, the upside-down world I am talking about is centered in the United States, radiating out from the United States, the most aggressive and imperialistic by far of any nation today. So I appeal to the American people to wake up and fight for their rights.
