are you americans starting to wise up? perhaps, but i'm still very doubtful.
have you given any consideration as to why your government takes the actions it does?
let's go back to president nixon. many of you view him as a terrible guy because of his actions. what led him to the course that he took: he inherited the vietnam war, a very hot 'cold war' which included serious problems with china, the 'middle east', latin america, the ussr and numerous domestic problems including terrorism. in retrospect he was swamped and did the best that he could. it's a wonder he stood for re-election!
so now we have president bush. if you remember, he was selected as the republican candidate by many powerful interests because he didn't possess any negatives with the american public. your news media told you this (google and nexus/lexus is your friend). yet you americans decided to toss out the democrat regime that brought you 8 years of incredible prosperity. why did you do this? were you tired of making money?
now before you protest that the 2000 election was stolen, remember, bush got enough votes so that the election COULD be stolen. this was your fault! and if you'll jog your memory again you will recall that president bush was considered a joke who might not finish his term.
until 9/11/2001.
now many of you will say that he was put in office to enrich his friends and corporate backers. pardon me, but they had gotten plenty rich during the clinton era. in fact many companies had more money then they knew what to do with. so again the question is 'what is up?'
americans, you, and the entire world, are in uncharted waters. the entire planet is under a single economic system: free market-capitalism. this is unheard of as all systems need an opposing system in order to survive.
one does not need a crystal-ball to see what is slowly coming. the fate of the ussr is america's fate. they went broke and you are on the same unavoidable path. the signs are everywhere. look at the discussions about rebuilding new orleans as an example: it's all about the cost. how american! if shanghai, china had suffered a similar fate do you think the chinese would fret about the cost of rebuilding, NO! the place would be up and running by now. hell, even saddam had the electicity going in iraq a few months after the gulf war!
the american powers that be know the jig is up and are desparately doing all they can.
think about that the next time you cash your paycheck!
