How can we talk about promoting democracy abroad when we don't practice it here in America?
In America we exist in a police state where citizens are many times more likely to be attacked by the police than by terrorists,and all of rights are treated as mere privileges that are granted or denied at the whim of any authority figure or blacked out stormtroopers.
Meanwhile,abroad,America's version of "leading" is wars of aggression and destabilizing and overthrowing other countries,resulting in only destruction and a proxy wars.
As America has focused more and more on other countries business,looking for an opening to tear them down and take control of their resources,America has become America in name only.
And now it's on to Syria and Iran,poking and prodding the Russian bear in Ukraine,and fomenting unrest and rioting in Hong Kong. These are the new war fronts in the U.S. campaign for a new world order,or is it the perpetuation of the old world order,while holding everyone else back or just knocking them down altogether.
Everything that we are supposed to hate,we have become,and for what?..The petrodollar,hegemony,a greater Israel?..The neocon agenda will destroy the world and America along with it.
Our message to the world,by our actions,not our hollow words, seems to be something like this:
EITHER AMERICA WILL RULE THE WORLD OR AMERICA WILL END THE WORLD.
SURRENDER OR BE DESTROYED.
By its actions and policies,this is America's message to the world. "SUBMIT OR FALL"
ALL WARS ARE BANKER WARS
