Empire of Hypocrisy

The US is a country founded on myth. The greatest of these myths is that the US is a democratic country.

Another myth is that the US is the land of opportunity and a country which cares about people.

Nothing could be further from the truth.

The United States was founded by con-men, thieves, killers and opportunists.

What was started in the 17^th century continues to this day: A nation founded on greed, subjugation, exploitation and murder carries on this satanic tradition today in Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Libya, Iran and elsewhere.

The US supports brutal dictatorships who serve US interests and bombs those who do not.

As long as a dictator or a strongman is willing to let US corporations rape and exploit its people and natural resources for cheap, that leader’s life and continued rule is assured by the US State Department, the Pentagon and the White House.

We can see this method at work in the recent thawing of relations between the US and  Myanmar (Burma). The Burmese government has decided to let US corporations in on exploiting its natural resources, so the imperial US government dispatched Hag Hillary to reestablish relations.

When I listened to news reports of this latest rapprochement, the first thing said was that it is a great opportunity for US businesses. The word democracy was just stuck in for balance, but the main focus was the almighty dollar, as it is everywhere the US wants to “spread democracy.”

US foreign policy is clearly a criminal venture, not unlike the mafia of yore. Those whom the US helps must then pay their “pound of flesh.”

Every action, word, law, policy and decision of the US government revolves around money. This is the primary overriding priority of the US government: To force US economic dominance and exploitation on every nation in the world.

If the US cannot force its economic supremacy on a certain country by bribes, it resorts to threats. If threats are ineffective, then the country is punished for their defiance with crippling UN sanctions. If that does not work, then a western-sponsored rebellion is instigated by employing whatever band of local criminal hoodlums and corrupt elements the US can muster, which are then used to overthrow the defiant leader.

If the rebels are too incompetent to do the job, then the US simply bombs the country, kills its leader and installs pro-western/Israeli puppets who will do their bidding. This is the current scenario which is unfolding in Syria.

Of course, to cover up their criminal meddling, the US does it all under the guise of democracy promotion and protecting human rights. But what a contradiction it is to be instigating and provoking violence against the same people who the US claims it wants to help! Does not anyone see this terrible hypocrisy at work? How can the world be so blind?

But where the local dictator/monarch/strongman in charge allows US corporations to exploit  their land and populace for profit, the US turns a blind eye to any and all acts of savagery and murder which that leader unleashes against their own people. We see this clearly at work in Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, and in any other country which has a western-friendly ruler. These despots never have to answer to any UN inquiry, are never indicted by the ICC, and do not have to worry about being overthrown.

This US behavior is so brazen that not even its own citizens are exempt from being taken out at the whims of Obama or whatever filthy new warmonger-in-chief follows him. Gone is habeas corpus. US citizens can now be arrested and killed at the president’s and the US military’s whim should they be deemed a threat to national security. There is no indictment, arrest or trial; just a shot in the head or bomb dropped on a car from the air. Its frontier justice and nothing else.

The US holds its own people in utter contempt. It lies to them. It manipulates them with the most dishonest and blatant propaganda and disinformation imaginable. It allows no other voice in to challenge its false self-serving narrative.

In these presidential debates, past and present, each party and their candidates try their damndest to avoid talking about foreign policy. They do everything they can to keep people from asking questions about it.

To do so, the politicians distract the electorate with wedge issues like abortion, gay marriage, gun rights, and stupid blabber about what this one candidate did or said 15 years ago or whether he smoked pot, etc. It is all a sick and pathetic game of the slick political class fooling the idiot electorate. The sad thing is that it appears to work.

No matter how much these parties screw the people, rob them and toss them to the gutter, these retards just keep on going to these damn voting booths and pulling that fucking lever like a pack of Pavlovian dogs or a bunch of lab rats in search of the next propaganda-ridden feel-good “fix” provided by the political elites and their media whores. This is what passes for democracy in the US today.

And what is truly sad and pathetic, is that many of these people fall for the same old con-game every four years as if electing any of these parties will make a difference in what happens to this country. It is truly amusing to see these democrats and their supporters in the media trying to pep up people in favor of the criminal warmonger Obama and trying to make the Democratic Party look like the party of the working-class little guy.

People need to wake up and smell the bullshit that has been shoveled on them. THERE IS NO TRUE OPPOSITION PARTY IN EXISTENCE IN THE US! What there is, are two sides of the same greedy profit-oriented business party.

Both the democrats and Republicans share the same main convictions when it comes to policy, namely:

1.       Both parties want the US to be the sole world power

2.       Both parties want worldwide US economic and military supremacy, by any means  necessary

3.       Both parties favor the rich over the working class

4.       Both parties want to limit individual rights and freedoms as much as possible

What most people do not know about, is that after WW2, an unwritten consensus was formed between the liberal and conservative camps of the US government.

In return for the liberal camp’s support for, and acquiescence in the militarization of society and foreign policy, the conservative wing promised to keep the government social programs (which the democrats use as a carrot to dangle in front of people in order to keep them quiet and subservient to the political class) going.

This explains why after Obama came to office, he did nothing to change the foreign policy of the US. He did nothing to stop the wars and violence, in fact he escalated them.

Obama orders a drone attack which results in civilian deaths and the next day he is in some factory touting his jobs creation plan. The man is truly a psychopath!

There will never be a change in US foreign policy as long as this system of government stays the way it is. Elections are meaningless, since both parties share the same rotten and fascist consensus about the US role in the world.

If some very lucky candidate manages to slip by the controlling elites that run the US, starts rolling back the wars, stops interfering in other nations internal affairs, and God forbid, cuts the Pentagon budget to the bare minimum required to simply defend the US, then that person will be killed in quick order. The military-Industrial-Banking complex will NEVER allow such a person to govern.

Since the 2008 worldwide economic collapse, the banksters and their henchmen, who engineered this calamity by conning countries like Greece to take out massive loans and take part in the housing bubble con, have turned the truth on its tail and are now blaming government spending for the crises.

The blame lies with the financial vultures such as Goldman Sachs which conned countries to take out massive loans that could then be financed by the fake housing boom.  When the housing market collapsed, these countries could not pay back the loans. This created a real scrambling around for cash, as US and European private banks tried to find anyone they could fleece to make up for their huge losses as a result of their own fraud and manipulation.

And who better to fleece than the government coffers? So suddenly, austerity measures became all the rage. Financiers worldwide started telling lie after lie that it was the lazy, unproductive welfare recipients that were the cause of the economic crisis. Public programs and any other government initiatives that subsidized and helped the poorer people had to go.

The reason why the bankster vultures moved against public spending was because they wanted individual countries government revenues and their natural assets as reimbursement for the investors losses even though those losses were the result of the investors own illegal gambles. Talk about government welfare!

So now what these banksters want is: Foreign governments must accept IMF/world bank/EU loans with interest. Any assets and revenue that the government has and collects must then go to pay off the interest on these loans (this is where austerity comes in), which is so huge that these loans are never going to be paid in full. The money that is lent must go towards buying things from other countries and reimbursing investors. This will turn countries into perpetual debt slaves.

People ask: What happened to the US? What happened to the land of justice and freedom? Why has the US turned it back on human rights and the rule of law? Why can’t it be like it was in the past?

Did it ever occur to anyone that maybe the US acts the way it does by design?

Let’s take a quick run through US history. The US was founded by thieves and opportunists. The descendants of these con-men became wealthy colonial planters and merchants.

Once they got rich enough, they decided to get rid of their more affluent British overlords and take the continent’s riches for themselves. To do so, they manipulated the poor rabble beneath them to fight and die in a revolutionary war which was incited, organized and led by the wealthy for the interests of the wealthy.

They exploited their hatred of the British, their racism towards the Indian and the black slaves to wind them up for war. Today it is the hatred of the Muslim and the Arab and the Iranian which is used to con the poor uneducated rabble into fighting for the wealthy elites.

Those wealthy colonists who could afford to, paid a couple hundred of dollars to get out of having to fight and die during the revolution, and sent a poor slob in their place.  So much for patriotism and sacrifice!

Mutinies, desertions and open rebellions against the American revolutionary leaders were common. After the revolution, those who did not accept the “new order” were imprisoned, tortured and died in prison under miserable conditions.

And perhaps the most glaring indictment that the US revolution was not as popular as portrayed was the fact that 1/3 of the colonists did not support it, 1/3 did not care either way, and only 1/3 supported it. So we had 75% of the people not giving a damn about the revolution. But it was won by skilled manipulation, rhetoric and sloganeering by George Washington and others. They managed to fool enough of the mob to make a difference, at least for the elites. This fine tradition continues today.

After the revolution, the new colonial elites preserved property rights as sacred, limited freedom of expression lest it interfere with the property and commercial rights of merchants and their profits, and enacted a multitude of taxes which resulted in more rebellions and disillusionment.  Laws were enacted to favor the wealthy. Democracy was a dirty word, and its theories were seen as dangerous mob rule by the new colonial elites.

From the beginning of the existence of the US, wealth and profit were favored above anything else. All of the candidates for government office were from wealthy families, so were the judges and top military officers. The political and economic life of the US has been skewed in favor of the rich from the very beginning.

Nothing has gone wrong with the US system in the last twenty or thirty years, as some people contend. This country’s political and economic system has been defective since the very beginning of its existence, and it was engineered to be this way by this country’s founders. It is high time that people started to realize this.

But thanks to very skilled colonial manipulators, pious rhetoric, lofty ideals (at least on paper) and a bunch of anti-British propaganda and lies, the colonial elites were able to successfully push the poor into doing the fighting and the dying for the elites own interests and profits (which, by the way, soared after the revolution).

This sad tradition also continues today, as poor kids are being herded into the military with promises of free education and other benefits, and then sent to fight and die in illegal and murderous wars in Iraq, Afghanistan and elsewhere for the personal
aggrandizement of corporate war profiteers and their whores in the halls of congress, the Pentagon and the White House. The more things change, the more they stay the same, I guess.

The main problem in the world today is that countries listen too much, and defer too many decisions to the whims of the US government (which is nothing less than a criminal syndicate hell-bent on subjugating the world for its own economic, military and strategic interests), even when they know that these decisions are wrong.

The US does not care about human rights, democracy or free elections unless it can manipulate them for its own shallow and self-serving interests. If the world is ever to know peace and restore any semblance of law and civilized behavior, it must stop listening to the US. It must stop following its broken and failed economic theories and stop being its auxiliary army.

As an example, Russia has been more vocal in the past years in opposing US unilateralism, and that has brought it some successes. While this is very commendable, what needs to be brought to peoples’ attention is the fact that when Russia accepted capitalism, it also gave up a good chunk of its sovereignty to the US and the west, whether it likes it or not.

 When it was a socialist country, Russia was not subject to capitalist whims, and therefore outside the US economic bankster elites control. This gave the Soviet Union much more freedom to make decisions since it did not have to worry about the US/West exacting revenge on Russia by deliberately manipulating its capital-averse, socialist economy. This goes for any country which adopts the capitalist system.

Today, Russia is not so lucky. Some months ago when the US unilaterally passed a law barring foreign banks who do business with Iranian banks from dealings in the US, Russian banks cut their ties with Iranian banks.  Even though the Russian government condemned this US move, it had no choice but to comply.

A country that is not part of the US capitalist system cannot be effectively controlled. Mr. Gaddafi and Mr. Hussein have already learned this lesson. Mr. Assad and Mr. Ahmadenijad are learning it as well.

The US is a criminal hypocrite. It kills and bombs for profit. It has never lived up to its own lofty principles and at best allows a limited form of democracy.

The absolute nicest thing that can be said about the United States of America is that it is no better than any other country.
