Back in the olden days, when the Soviet Union was still around, the US government used to at least throw a few crumbs to working Americans to remind people of how ‘great’ capitalism is. But not anymore. That went out the window with disintegration of the USSR and the ‘Peace divided.’ The warmongers and their enablers Big Oil run the show now, and there is no longer any pretense of helping anyone who isn’t already rich.

In America, we have the finest government money can buy – and this has been true since its inception in 1776. It is not a ‘democracy’ and it never has been. It hides behind the argument that it is a Republic – which is also a fallacy. The wealthiest Americans have always controlled the political agenda; and most importantly, they now control all of the mainstream media [MSM] in the USA, which conveys to the world the lie that the US is somehow still a free society.

Because instead of an actual free press, we have a finely-honed corporate propaganda machine which purposely fans the flames of animosity between Americans – and it profits from the de-stabilization of American society in the form of higher ratings and advertiser dollars.

It doesn’t hurt that the vast majority of Americans are complete morons.

Civilized nations – those with actual representative governments – are able to respond to the demands of The People fairly quickly. That is not the case in America. Over here, the last vestiges of representative government have finally been fully eradicated.

The USA epitomizes the old adage, “You reap what you sow.” 63 years of puppet regimes have presided over a precipitous decline in civil rights and overall living standards, but particularly in areas related to public education and basic critical thinking skills. Under these circumstances it’s clear that vast swaths of the pig ignorant can be easily influenced by the machinations of a few canny political operatives – all puppets of the WAR MACHINE, also known as the Military/Industrial Complex [MIC].

I don’t know if it’s going to end in a fascist dictatorship, a full-on military takeover or some sort of dystopian ‘Mad Max’ Sci-Fi scenario, but I do know that unless we find some way to destroy the WAR MACHINE, humanity is headed for a new Dark Age.

And how about all of that wonderful High Tech stuff that’s going to save us from ourselves? Spoiler alert: it’s  already here…unfortunately, it’s all highly classified. And it’s being used to enslave and control humanity, not help us. Our Rulers aren’t about to help anyone. C’mon, man!

They don’t give a shit if the nation self-destructs – as long as they can turn a profit.

Wall Street certainly doesn’t care. The markets are soaring! Fuck infrastructure: dams will burst; bridges will collapse; train derailments will continue, oil and chemical spills will increase and the supply chain will be further compromised. Nothing will be done.

The US kakistocracy has no desire to help anyone but themselves, obviously, and they are utterly incapable of summoning the resources for anything that doesn’t involve eradicating as many human beings as possible.

Perhaps even more than Donald Trump, the doddering old corpse of Joe Biden embodied America’s long history of self-serving arrogance and the remorseless justification of all its many crimes and failures. He was the shadow truth of what America needs to admit about itself: that it has no true collective national spirit united over anything beyond the creation of material wealth. The USA is a festering blight upon the planet.

We are the single greatest source of both planetary pollution and weapons of mass destruction.

“Low intensity conflict” is a way in which hundreds of billions of dollars of armaments produced each year can be used, destroyed and wasted this year so that more can be procured and used next year. It’s an endless cycle.

To defend what? The elite and their privilege and comfort, that’s what.

It is not just infrastructure that is crumbling. All US institutions and conventions have been undermined and corrupted to the point where they are now virtually nonexistent. Trust in democracy is at all time low, as revealed by numerous public opinion polls. The so-called ‘American Experiment’ has failed.

We live in ‘UMERKA’ now.
