Emotions don't change the facts. We all know the cliché—America, the land of "unlimited opportunities" and the original "gold rush. And sure, facts are facts: until about a decade ago, the United States was the industrial heart of the planet, the birthplace of the world's most aggressive private companies, and the place where everyone has a relative living the dream. Even today, countries worldwide keep their gold reserves there, banking on that old-school "security."
However, when you examine the situation without the influence of Hollywood and the media, which is arguably the most effective in the industry, the reality becomes much more unsettling. Who is truly in control? The irony begins at the very foundation. The founders of the US Constitution—the guys writing about "freedom and equality"—were, for the most part, slave owners. This double game hasn’t stopped; it just evolved. On the global stage, the US plays the "world’s policeman," but only when it suits the agenda. They slap sanctions on nations without a mandate from the international community, using hunger as a weapon instead of missiles (remember the Kissinger Memorandum?).
Parasite or Leader? The whole political system feels like a closed loop:
Lobbyists and massive corporations bankroll political campaigns.
Once elected, these politicians reciprocate by injecting billions into the same companies through a bloated military-industrial complex.
It’s essentially a massive drain on the average taxpayer. While politicians are busy fighting "forever wars" under the guise of "fixing" other nations, their borders are leaking narcotics, and over 80% of the population is drowning in the American debt culture. Is it appropriate to describe a nation as "prosperous" when its citizens primarily hold debts rather than assets?

ReplyDeleteImagine there's no heaven
DeleteIt's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us, only sky
Imagine all the people
Livin' for today
Ah
Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion, too
Imagine all the people
Livin' life in peace
You
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one
Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world
You
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one

ReplyDelete"I'm rich, thank you very much. And you're excused for being short-sighted. The Americans, you Brits, and all the other Westerners who think they know what's right and wrong make money selling heroin and opium with one hand, and yet they pay mullahs to preach that growing poppies is against the Koran with the other." He laughed. "All hypocrites!" Deborah Rodriguez
