From NSA wiretapping and total disregard for its own laws, to the supporting of terrorist groups in Syria (who recently beheaded a Christian priest in public) with weapons and training, the true ugly nature of the US is coming into the foreground.
The bizarre contradictions are so revealing that it begs the question why would any sane government out there still dare to follow the US and its criminal policies?
Don’t other countries see the embarrassment and the liabilities that come with being a lackey of the US?
Are these weak-willed countries looking for a hand-out? Or are they just scared that if they do not cooperate with the evil US empire that they will get the Iran and North Korea treatment? Or have they become IMF and World Bank debt slaves and have to keep their mouths shut or else their debts will be called in, resulting in economic strangulation?
The way I see it, there are three types of countries in the world today: the US, countries that kiss the ass of the US, and countries that are being severely punished for not kissing the ass of the US.
Russia and China seem to be the only ones powerful enough not kissing America’s ass and getting away with it. But these are the only two exceptions.
The US government has been throwing juvenile temper tantrums for some years now because their 1st place in line globally is being challenged.
Now how dare any other country supersede the US economically, militarily or strategically on the world stage?
After all, the US has invested decades and trillions of dollars and the greasiest and disgusting tactics to keep itself on top in every way.
It has killed and maimed millions, carpet-bombed entire countries, committed countless war crimes and crimes against humanity, and developed arms-twisting techniques that would make the most psychopathic mafia boss squirm in order to keep anyone weak and stupid enough in line.
All that work is now supposed to go down the drain for some other country to chime in line in front of Uncle Sam? Oh the horror of it!
The recent NSA leak fallout has once and for all ripped off the mask of fake benevolence, eternal goodness and the myth of “American Exceptionalism” from the evil, twisted and slimy face of the true America.
The US is a broken, degenerate country.
Its so-called principles of democracy, freedom, self-determination and adherence to the rule of law now ring hollow, in a hollowed-out failed experiment in republican government.
The ruling US establishments, past and present have sold themselves out for personal material enrichment.
They have allied with, and subordinated themselves to, the creepiest creatures from the feces-ridden underbelly of the corporate/banking cartels and their crap-filled stable of moneyed benefactors.
The entire government has basically prostituted itself out to the billionaire pimps of the banking and war industries. They no longer hold domestic law sacred, let alone international law.
The US regime does not care about laws, unless it sees a material and strategic benefit for itself in doing so.
It points fingers at other countries for not “following the law” but hypocritically ignores its own transgressions.
When someone else points back, the US regime starts regurgitating its number-one excuse in its arsenal: the War on Terror.
This is used as the one-shot way to kill off all dissent and criticism of US policies and actions, no matter how cruel and inhuman they are.
That the “War on Terror” is just a cover for US economic, strategic and military domination of the world, and that it has done more damage than any terrorist group could ever do, is lost on the US public.
Most people will say that the US is an immoral country because of the evil it does in the world. But I would say that the US is amoral.
An immoral country goes along doing evil and does not point fingers at others who do the same thing.
But the US goes along, itself doing great harm while condemning others when they do the same.
The US does not care about whether its actions are good or not.
The US regime is not concerned about what is morally right or wrong. It has exorcised such considerations from its policy formulations, politics, decisions and actions a long time ago.
The US only cares about its status as the wealthiest and most militarily powerful state on earth. Whatever it takes to maintain this status is allowed in the eyes of US government officials.
If hundreds of thousands of people have to be killed to achieve this (i.e.-Syria), so be it.
If an entire country has to be bombed wholesale, like Afghanistan and Iraq, fine.
If foreign leaders and nationals have to be overthrown, assassinated or smeared with the most virulent lies and propaganda, it will be done.
If the entire US and other nations populations have to be snared into an illegal clandestine electronic spying operation to steal information that may be valuable to US businesses and to further the US security state’s continued paranoid crusade against any dissenters and critics, it will be done.
If a foreign economy, or the economy of the world has to be crashed and ruined in order to keep others down and the US on top, so be it.
Nothing is off-limits. Nothing is sacred anymore, except the US ruling establishment’s need to stay on top by hook, crook or mass-murder.
There is no attempt at self-criticism in the US government, media and populace.
They are scared to death of it because if the US truly dared to confront its true self, the fake and illusory mental image of itself as the good and indispensable and well-meaning nation would immediately crumble into dust.
Such an attempt at introspection would undoubtedly result in mass-hysteria and a collapse of the nation.
This is why fictitious enemies and scapegoats must be found in order to justify the inhuman and uncivilized policies and actions of the US.
The US always finds someone else to blame. First it was the Indians, then the Mexicans, then the Spaniards, Germans, Russians, and now Arabs and Muslims.
It’s always someone else’s fault.
If the US firebombs a village in Iraq, it’s the fault of the Iraqis; not the invaders who traveled thousands of miles to initiate an illegal invasion of the country.
The same ugly self-denial is on full display against Edward Snowden, the NSA leaker.
From the very beginning of this whole affair the US government’s and the media’s focus has been on how Edward Snowden “violated” US laws, is a traitor, aided the enemy and other slanders and demonizations uttered against him by the US media and think tank whores in order to discredit him, and divert the US public's attention from how badly their own government has f***ed them.
What the media should be talking about are the revelations themselves.
Here we have the US government exposed as illegally eavesdropping on the electronic communications of millions of people worldwide!
Instead of focusing on this ultimate betrayal of people and its supposed allies by the US government, these cretins are condemning Edwards Snowden, Julian Assange and Bradley Manning?
This is absolutely disgraceful and craven behavior by the media. They have decided to shoot the messenger instead of focusing on the message.
This just goes to show that the media in any country will instinctively toe the government’s party line, regardless of whether this line is right or wrong.
Blaming Edward Snowden, or any other individual who exposes US criminality is like rear-ending another car on the road and blaming that car for being on the road.
The US now is in full dementia mode. On the one hand they are demanding Russia hand over Snowden to them immediately or face “consequences.” The US is also by impulse daring to smear Russia by smugly suggesting that if Snowden is so concerned about truth and transparency and freedom, Russia is the wrong country to be in.
The US government’s attitude about Snowden is hypocritical as well.
Back during the cold war days, the US jumped with joy every time some Soviet dissident military official, diplomat, or KGB agent defected to the west and spilled the beans on the atrocious inner workings of the Soviet Union.
And when such defectors made it to the west and the Soviet authorities demanded that they be handed over, the western governments just laughed in the Soviet Union's face.
And do not forget that Putin, as well as many other current top Russian government officials were around 30-40 years ago and remember each and every instance when a Soviet defector was taken in and sheltered by the west, and how Russia was ignored regardless of how many times its government demanded their hand-over.
But now that the shoe is on the other foot, the US does not like it. The US is whining constantly about how Snowden’s revelations will result in death and try to justify the illegal eavesdropping by saying that it stopped some fifty terrorist plots. Of course, the US government refuses to provide any evidence for this.
Hasn’t it occurred to the US, looking back from the present perspective, that maybe the Soviets also had legitimate security interests? That they also had to do things which were unpleasant but necessary to keep their interests and nation safe?
This is the big secret to US successes over the years: UNFAIR ADVANTAGE.
Spying on its own people and allies without their knowledge is what gave the US the edge.
Now that the cat is out of the bag, it is doubtful that this edge can be maintained.
One thing has also become very evident when taking into consideration the despicable US actions since WW2.
Even though it has taken a long time to come to light, it is clear that throughout the cold war, and up to today, it is the US that has turned out to be the worse party, not Russia.
To the US, other countries are “bad” when they spy, eavesdrop on people and repress dissidents, and their reasons for doing so are always unacceptable to the US (unless they do so in cooperation with, or on the orders of, the US itself) Only the holy US is excused, because it is fighting a “war on terror" or trying to stop some imaginary Iranian nuclear weapons.
This arrogant behavior shows how behind the times the US is. It still thinks it is all-powerful and that everyone will just bow down to them on everything.
But those times are gone. No one is going to take America’s shit lying down anymore.
US propaganda is no longer that effective, and really has been weak to begin with. That propaganda only works when the audience is cowardly, naive and subordinate to the US for whatever reason. This propaganda got the US through the cold war and beyond but is losing its power.
When the audience is not naïve and has courage, US propaganda falls flat dead immediately. This could be seen on full display when Russian PM Putin dressed down British PM David Cameron at the 2013 G8 conference in N. Ireland by daring to disagree with, and criticizing him for his stance, on the Syria issue. Cameron did not have a come-back. He fell flat dead on the floor intellectually and diplomatically.
Simply put, the US has done too much bad in the world, and no amount of eloquent tirades, hypocritical excuses and morally-bankrupt justifications uttered by Obama or any other US politician, or US citizen, whether in Berlin or anywhere else, is going to fix the blood-stained American image.
The US wrongly thinks that the entire world is its personal playground and if it wishes to take something from anyone, it just does. This is why the US is so hated.
Compare this with the Chinese method. When they want something from another country, they send in men in suits to negotiate and make deals. No bullets are fired and no one gets killed.
When the US wants something from another country, it sends in men in uniforms with guns and takes what it wants by force.
This is why Chinese investment in Africa has surpassed America.
So what does the US do in the face of this Chinese uppity-ness?
It sets up AFRICOM, a military command dedicated to strong-arming African countries into giving it up for Uncle Scam, or else.
I swear, when you look up the word hopeless in the dictionary, it should have a picture of the US next to it!
Another disturbing phenomenon has been rearing its head in popular discourse, the rehabilitation of George W. Bush.
I’m hearing more talk from unrepentant bumpkin right-wingers
about how they “wish Bush was back” and are posting pictures on the internet
with Dubya with quotations like, “Miss me yet?”
The twisted rationale of these nutcases seems to be that just
because Obama is a worse criminal who has made the mess in this country even
bigger, that somehow the filthy war-criminal Dubya is off the hook.
It must be made clear to everyone, that any attempt to clean
up Dubya’s blood-stained legacy of lies, gross incompetence, murder, war
crimes, horrendous violations of human rights and every law of civilized
behavior in existence, is tantamount to defending Adolf Hitler, Stalin or Pol
Pot and whitewashing every single one of their crimes!
There is absolutely NO EXCUSE for Bush’s behavior, none whatsoever!
He paved the way for the further horrors of Obummer.
To me, these cretins are praising Bush because Obummer has outdone
him on the level of depravity.
But let’s remember that there were many people, including
republicans, who during the darkest days of Dubya’s misrule also pined for the “good
ole days” of Bill Clinton, himself a liar par-excellance and a filthy war-mongering scumbag.
The point is that it’s not that the last president was
better, but that the next one is always worse. Hasn’t this fact been made
crystal clear enough already?
After each presidential election, the behavior of these
presidents becomes worse and worse.
But they are all low-life lying criminals who,
in a normal and truly just world where law and order and decency rules, should
all be currently languishing in the Hague in solitary confinement.
The only difference between them is the degree of evil they
engage in, and any attempt to rehabilitate their blood-soaked legacy is itself
a crime against humanity.
In conclusion, it must be said that the US currently is a failed state.
Its ruling cadre, from the president on down, is thoroughly corrupt.
The US government does not abide by any law. It betrays and lies to its own people and the world, it is two-faced, it steals and murders with disregard, and it bullies other nations for not putting US interests above their own.
It is a psychopathic nation which up to know has killed, maimed, bombed and made destitute more people than any other country throughout history.
The US is not the "shining city on the hill," but more like the dark and creepy castle on the hill covered with perpetual tufts of dark clouds and lightning, with a desolate landscape all around it.
The best thing would be for the US to isolate itself from the rest of the world so that the world can recover and heal from the craziness and degeneracy emanating from this continent.
And contrary to the self-professed, the deluded and 100% not true fantasy prevalent in inside the US, the US is NOT the indispensable nation. It does NOT need to be leading anyone or in charge of anything beyond its own troubled borders.
The world does not need US “leadership” because US leadership has failed in every way imaginable, and in fact has been detrimental to world peace, development and progress.
I also do not believe in the paranoid doomsday prediction that without the US leading the world everything will descend into chaos; as if US leadership has not been chaotic enough!
The world was here and progressed along for thousands of years without the US around.
The notion that the US, a country just over 230 years old, is the glue that holds the world together is sheer delusion and the height of arrogance and hubris.
To suggest so is also a slap in the face of every other country (most of which have been around for hundreds or thousands years more than the US) because it conveys the message that the rest of the world is incompetent and inferior.
The US can disappear tomorrow. At worst, there will be some short-lived chaos, but it will even itself out. Intelligent and pragmatic people will straighten things out quickly.
Some people may read this and say that if I hate America so much why don’t I just get the hell out and go to Russia or North Korea.
My answer is: No, I will not get the hell out.
I will stay here and keep on writing, criticizing and speaking out against the stupidity and evil done by this inept US state establishment.
I do not hate America. I hate its government's rotten, hypocritical and criminal policies.
To hate America is too general an accusation. How can I hate Americans who agree with me? How can I hate those Americans who put their freedoms, lives and safety on the line to tell the world the truth? How can I hate those Americans who are my friends? How can I hate the nice places in America that I enjoy going to?
So you see, this "you hate America" line is an empty accusation, uttered by ignorant and intellectually-challenged cretins.
No one hates America. They hate the bad policies of the American government, and the people who enact them.
Some may even ask: Why are you not criticizing Russia, Iran and North Korea? Their governments are not all good either.
First, no country is entirely good. If anyone in this world thinks their country is all good and does the right thing 100% of the time, then they are deluding themselves.
Second, you criticize the country in which YOU live first and foremost, not some other one far away.
Being a responsible citizen means holding your own government to account in every way, first and foremost. Let the citizens of other nations worry about holding their governments and systems to account. Don’t interfere.
I know there are many Americans who share my views and who are decent and intelligent people who, if given the chance, could fix this dilapidated republic. It is still possible to do so.
But this cannot be done if the rest of the populace is in a materialistic smart-phone induced stupor and mesmerized by cheap reality shows like the Kardashians and the banal and shallow trash TV talk of Joan Rivers and all the other pop-culture false prophets and low-life freaks.
It cannot be done if most Americans stubbornly cling to the false, deluded and discredited view that America is the best and freest and most democratic country in the world; a country that has done no wrong and only means good.
It cannot be done as long as the current two-party circus prevails and 3rd party candidates are being deliberately treated as oddities by the mainstream media, kept away from public eye and barred from presidential debates by the two wings of the same business party.
It cannot be done as long as the government along with the media, academia and private interests deliberately limit the scope of issues which can be openly discussed and keep many other subjects outside of public consideration.
But one thing is certain: the present American infection cannot continue.
