When will the American people wake up?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

State of the Nation<\/a><\/p>\n

So much of American wealth is derived from the exploitation of foreign workers, foreign natural resources and foreign capital. \u00a0Much of the pampered existence, modern comforts and myriad luxuries enjoyed by many Americans since World War II ended have come at the great expense of so many countries around the world.<\/p>\n

Little does the average U.S. citizen really understand how they even had an American dream to pursue in the first place. \u00a0They have little understanding of the historical context which created the favorable circumstances for several decades of sustained prosperity. \u00a0In fact, compared to every other country on Earth, the USA has had a heckuva run. \u00a0No other nation has ever had such a large middle class live at such a high level of economic stability and financial security … until now, of course.<\/p>\n

In fact, it was only because of World War II and the dropping of the atom bombs<\/a> that the rest of the world permitted the USA to play global policeman. \u00a0In so doing the world community of nations cut this nation a LOT of slack. \u00a0Unfortunately, for all parties concerned, the United States was given enough rope to hang itself. \u00a0Which it has now effectively done. \u00a0It has thoroughly squandered so much good will since the assassination of John F. Kennedy. \u00a0Some of that good will accumulated as a result of the genuine magnanimity of the American people; however, much of it was manufactured by the madmen on Madison Avenue. \u00a0In reality the global geopolitical realm was carefully engineered so that the USA would become the military arm of the emerging New World Order<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The USA: Military Arm Of The New World Order<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

\"usa-warmonger\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Undeclared wars of aggression have become the new normal.<\/h3>\n

The real problems regarding the unrelenting disruption of the international order by the USA began when the American people allowed the U.S. Federal Government to wage unprovoked wars of aggression at will around the world. \u00a0The fatal mistake here is that each successive president since JFK has prosecuted these often UNDECLARED<\/strong> wars using tax dollars, and in the name of the American people. The elected representatives in Congress were bought, bribed and blackmailed to go along with the White House in every single case.<\/p>\n

Vietnam and is only one of many examples of this unjustifiably bellicose and patently unlawful conduct. \u00a0More recently, the imperialistic wars in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya and Syria stand as stark testimonies to the endless American war-making. \u00a0This indisputable record of warmongering by the USA has set a terrible precedent for all future presidents. Whether the next president selected is Donald Trump or Bernie Sanders, the ‘chosen one’ will ineluctably fall under the spell of the true masters of this nation.<\/p>\n

The current Masters of the Universe<\/em> are addicted to war profiteering.<\/h3>\n

Some know it as the Military-Industrial Complex<\/em>; others know it as the Government-Corporate Complex<\/em>. \u00a0In either case each U.S. Administration answers to a furtive cabal of military corporatists which likewise answers to another level of even more clandestine masters. \u00a0They, in turn, answer to an even higher level of masters all the way up the flagpole to the very apex of those who control the\u00a0World Shadow Government<\/em>\u00a0from afar… as in off-planet.<\/p>\n

The Government-Corporate Complex<\/em> Takes Complete Control Of The USA<\/a><\/p>\n

In this way is the world run through a system of strategically place proxies and surrogates, deputies and appointees. Many of these like-minded warmongers serve on the same boards and within the same organizations which are ostensibly constituted to maintain the peace or facilitate international dialogue. \u00a0The Council on Foreign Relations, the Trilateral Commission, the Bilderberg Group, the Committee of 3oo and Club of Rome are only a few of those supranational bodies which were created for the purpose of implementing the hidden war agenda of the Global Control Matrix<\/em>. \u00a0The Committee of 300, for instance, has some extremely reprehensible history as shown below.<\/p>\n

\"Screen<\/a><\/p>\n

With this deeper understanding the American people are compelled to reconsider the legitimacy of the current U.S. Federal Government. \u00a0For this rogue entity answers directly to the WSG and in no way serves the interests of the citizenry. \u00a0Not only does the government no longer serve its original purpose, it works aggressively against the best interests of the populace. \u00a0It has done so by zealously promoting the virtues of the perpetual war economy. \u00a0By foisting this covert agenda on the nation in so many surreptitious ways, the citizenry has become conditioned to accept it as the new normal.<\/p>\n

There is only one way out of this self-destructive predicament.<\/h3>\n

Therefore, We the People<\/em> must take back the government. \u00a0 When the people permit their tax dollars to fund illegal and odious wars abroad, which are fought in their name, they become responsible for the subsequent death and destruction.<\/strong> \u00a0The consequences associated with this inescapable responsibility will always manifest in some form of very unpleasant blowback. \u00a0That blowback has been occurring — under the radar — as the irreparable tearing of the social fabric of American society. \u00a0The immediate future will bring other unwanted events on American soil as the karmic repercussions inexorably unfold.<\/p>\n

The lack of action on the part of men and women of good will to terminate the relentless warmongering by the warhawks in Washington has corrupted the very soul of this nation. Furthermore, the continual and unconscionable support of war-supporting candidates by the body politic will seal the fate of the American people. \u00a0Should the upcoming election put another warmonger in the White House, the American Republic will suffer grave consequences. \u00a0That’s not a prediction, it’s the result of self-evident cause and effect.<\/p>\n

For those who are uninitiated in the subtle and deceptive art of American warmongering, the following article lays bare the present reality. \u00a0Please read it, and disseminate it—quickly! \u00a0The fate of this nation hangs in the balance, as does the future of the entire planetary civilization.<\/p>\n

Hillary Clinton Proves Democrats No Longer Oppose Endless Wars<\/h1>\n

by Lucy Steigerwald
\nTheAntiMedia.org<\/p>\n

In America, we do not lock up our murdering politicians. We rarely prosecute or impeach them. The only scandals that stick are sex ones. <\/strong>Serious voters, writers, pundits, and anyone else who feels as if they have deep principles invariably buckle under the partisan weight of the political system<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

She hasn\u2019t yet been coronated, but Hillary Clinton is surely about to win the Democratic nomination. Sure, Sen. Bernie Sanders has given her an amusing amount of trouble. And though he\u2019s voted for deaths abroad as well, he hasn\u2019t voted for as many as Clinton. (This is not an argument for Sanders, but it is unquestionably an argument against Clinton.) Still, she\u2019s got this thing in the bag, because she\u2019s got party loyalty, and she may even win the hearts of a few lost, sad little neocons running away from Donald Trump.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Clinton also has the nomination because war doesn\u2019t bother Democrats. <\/strong>They like to think it does, when they remember it exists, but they will risk no political capital whatsoever on making sure it stops, or making sure a warmongering candidate isn\u2019t nominated or elected.<\/p>\n

During the last few decades, any semblance of an antiwar movement has withered under Democratic presidents. \u00a0<\/strong>Not since \u201chey\/hey\/LBJ\/how many kids did you kill today?\u201d has a warmonger from the left side of the isle provoked ire. Bill Clinton and Barack Obama have much blood on their hands, but not enough to push people into the streets. There are encouraging exceptions, as there are to all rules. Code Pink and other activist groups come out and protest Democrats, and don\u2019t seem to have any plans to stop. However, it seems the anti-Iraq, antiwar movement of the early 21st century\u00a0was a Dubya blip and nothing more<\/a>.\u00a0Part of that may be the public\u2019s feeble attention span for atrocities far away. But it certainly appears that another aspect is that polite Democratic wars are easier to accept than grand Republican ones.<\/strong> Even if they both lead to the deaths of innocent people.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s a lot of unhappiness about the two presumed nominees for president. Clinton and Donald Trump are loathed at historical levels<\/a>. <\/strong>There\u2019s exciting talk about a third party candidate (perhaps the Libertarian Party\u2019s) having a good year. But for the LP, say, a good year would be winning more than one percent of the vote. Like good little party partisans, we should accept that one (D) or (R) candidate is going to win. Unlike them, we do not have to vote for major party candidates, and we shouldn\u2019t. But the party hacks will.<\/p>\n

Trump is an elusive mess.<\/strong> Justin Raimondo has made compelling cases for Trump\u2019s whispers of isolationism. But Trump is not libertarian, if that matter to you (it does to me). And he\u2019s happy to say warmongering things when it fits his mood. He also repeatedly stresses his desire to build an impossibly expensive wall, deport 11 million people in an immoral, impractical act of ethnic cleansing, and he keeps saying cops are America\u2019s most oppressed people, thereby making it seem unlikely he would be an ally in criminal justice reform.<\/p>\n

There are a lot of real reasons to dislike or to fear Trump. Myriad ones to not vote for him. However, there is one difference between him and Hillary Clinton that has been forgotten in the Trump panic spreading through left, right, center, and libertarian circles. Trump hasn\u2019t done anything yet. He has had no political power, and is therefore not to blame for terrible things (yet).<\/strong><\/u><\/p>\n

Clinton has done\u00a0it all already<\/a>. <\/strong><\/u>She voted for the worst foreign policy decision in recent memory, and she lamely apologized for it a few years later. Like most powerful people\u2019s expressions of \u201cregret\u201d it meant nothing, and Clinton clearly learned nothing. If her time as Secretary of State is any way to judge (and it is), Clinton turns towards war whenever possible. It is never the last resort, and is quite often the first. Her pride in the Libyan invasion<\/a>, which was based on the lie of a would-be genocidal Gaddafi remains. The instability, death, and terrorist empowerment that that wrought for Libya remains. Furthermore, choosing sides against (the loathsome) Bashar al-Assad helped that bloodbath continue. It is now on its sixth year. It is fueling a constant refugee crisis, and has destroyed Syria.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Any one of these foreign policy choices should be enough to knock Clinton out of the running for most powerful person in the world. But not even this cumulatively is enough, for one simple reason: Democrats don\u2019t care about war. Now, partisanship is powerful. So much so that picking your team so the other team doesn\u2019t win is satisfactory motivation. However, so many other issues appear to be deal breakers for Democrats. With rare, heroic exception, war is never one of those.<\/p>\n

The leftist, apparent Sanders-supporting cartoonist Ted Rall has summed up the weakness of Democrats on this both in prose and in art. In an outstanding Counterpunch article<\/a>, Rall explains why no matter the dangers of Trump and Republicans, he\u2019s \u201c#NeverHillary.\u201d Troubled by Trump, Rall still makes it clear that he will not give Clinton even the whisper of support that voting entails. Why? Lots of reasons. But her war record is right there at the top. It\u2019s enough of a reason to say no to her.<\/strong><\/p>\n

An even more pure condemnation of this attitude that Democrats, progressives, leftist, hell, anyone not a Republican, should get in line with Hillary can be found in several of Rall\u2019s recent cartoons that mock Clinton\u2019s nasty record.<\/a> A May cartoon<\/a> shows two figures: a woman is asking a man why he won\u2019t vote for Clinton. The man responds with four panels of (purposefully melodramatic) description of the blood on Clinton\u2019s hands, the dead of Iraq, Libya, and Syria. In the final square, the woman says \u201cI mean, besides that.\u201d<\/p>\n

That\u2019s the attitude. War is simply not on the priorities list for Democrats, especially when one of their own is in office, or is racing to win that office. <\/strong><\/u>Got to be practical, sensible; worry about the Supreme Court; worry about a woman\u2019s right to choose \u2014 about the fabled misogyny of overly enthusiastic Sanders fans. Any of one of these is worth casting a ballot for Clinton over, and her own bloody, aggressive history is not enough to stop or even slow voters down. \u00a0Wars happen thousands of miles away, trading them for domestic policy bliss is all too easy. You don\u2019t like Clinton because she\u2019s such a hawk? \u201cBesides that\u201d is nearly every Democrat\u2019s true-heart answer, whether they\u2019re willing to admit it or not. War just doesn\u2019t matter to them.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
