Each of our institutions is debased before our eyes. Money as our god, showered upon the wealthy, trickled upon the poor. The union asunder. The Catholic church revealed as pederasts. Colonialism revealed as plunder. The Pentagon revealed as war criminals. Our military revealed as menacing. Corporations revealed as earth destroyers. Our elections revealed as a sham. Our Justice revealed as unjust. Many Police revealed as criminals. The drug war revealed as evil, while marijuana was revealed as not. The Supreme Court revealed as a product of partisan manipulation. Both Parties and Congress openly revealed working for corporations and foreign powers, even to pledges of loyalty to their donors. The truth tellers like Assange persecuted and in prison, while the Iraq liars are on TV and lauded. The media revealed as players on the ‘Mighty Wurlitzer” tasked with telling how evil those ‘enemies’ are. Bombing Afghanistan for more than 40 years and then taking all their money upon departure. Bemoaning the starvation and poverty of those we besiege. Aficionados of war, assassination, torture.
American citizens support their government’s policies least among all the countries in the world’s citizens.
