A huge amount of the spoils from wars and the destruction of nature goes to the top 0.1 % of the population. They see it as their obvious right to splurge and play games with the fate of the world while there is wide-spread poverty and hunger among millions of Americans who can't even afford health care. Let them starve, let them die. What use are those poverty-stricken people anyway?
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.
