Arrrgggghhh!!! Stephen C. Webster, you’re not doing a very good job of editing.

This is a perfect illustration of why I can’t / won’t forward Raw Story’s articles to anyone else. It’s a real shame!

Seems every generation has their “this is the end!” crowd. I’ve always known something was going to break here in the U.S. given the push for corporate fascism, but when I heard that the fear seemed to be a generational thing, I put it out of my mind.. until 2001 through 2003. After we were attacked (with the help of either incompetence or vile collusion of our Government) in 2001 -everyone- knew something was serious… as we slid into 2003 and the illegal invasion of Iraq, watching the lies and bullshit on TV and seeing how many morons in this country lapped it all up, I knew the end was, in fact, on the way.. it was just a matter of time.

Of course, “end” is a relative term. I don’t know how “far down” we’ll go; I doubt we’ll be doing Mad Max in neighborhoods near you (and me).. that’s just not how things work. But it isn’t going to be pretty, the long hard rebuilding after the crash.

We have land for food.. we have mountains full of minerals for production.. we have a crapload of space to grow shittons of hemp for textiles… we just need to take ownership of those things/spaces back from the few that are holding them hostage today. The ultimate outcome of the long running abuse of this country will probably result in a Democratic Socialism by the time all is said and done. I just hope I’m still around to see it when it finally happens.

OK,OK…..bring out the soma:

Soma in Aldous Huxley’s
Brave New World

“Benito was notoriously good-natured. People said of him that he could have got through life without ever touching soma. The malice and bad tempers from which other people had to take holidays never afflicted him. Reality for Benito was always sunny.”

“you do look glum! What you need is a gramme of soma.”

“the warm, the richly coloured, the infinitely friendly world of soma-holiday. How kind, how good-looking, how delightfully amusing every one was! ”

“Swallowing half an hour before closing time, that second dose of soma had raised a quite impenetrable wall between the actual universe and their minds.”

“All the advantages of Christianity and alcohol; none of their defects.”

“I don’t understand anything,” she said with decision, determined to preserve her incomprehension intact. “Nothing. Least of all,” she continued in another tone “why you don’t take soma when you have these dreadful ideas of yours. You’d forget all about them. And instead of feeling miserable, you’d be jolly. So jolly,”

“”Don’t you want to be free and men? Don’t you even understand what manhood and freedom are?” Rage was making him fluent; the words came easily, in a rush. “Don’t you?” he repeated, but got no answer to his question. “Very well then,” he went on grimly. “I’ll teach you; I’ll make you be free whether you want to or not.” And pushing open a window that looked on to the inner court of the Hospital, he began to throw the little pill-boxes of soma tablets in handfuls out into the area.”

For a moment the khaki mob was silent, petrified, at the spectacle of this wanton sacrilege, with amazement and horror.”

“Free, free!” the Savage shouted, and with one hand continued to throw the soma into the area while, with the other, he punched the indistinguishable faces of his assailants. “Free!” And suddenly there was Helmholtz at his side-”Good old Helmholtz!”-also punching-”Men at last!”-and in the interval also throwing the poison out by handfuls through the open window. “Yes, men! men!” and there was no more poison left. He picked up the cash-box and showed them its black emptiness. “You’re free!”

“The policemen pushed him out of the way and got on with their work. Three men with spraying machines buckled to their shoulders pumped thick clouds of soma vapour into the air.”

”Hug me till you drug me, honey;
Kiss me till I’m in a coma;
Hug me, honey, snuggly bunny;
Love’s as good as soma.”

My blog name is what I stand for and have marched for since 1966. The D.C. stand in the snow by military veterans and other patriots may become as symbolic as Geo. Washington crossing the Delaware River.

If you watch the heroic event more than once and really study faces and stances, you can truly see people putting themselves at risk, something few are willing to do.

After awhile all the blog talk and invective, though well-meaning, is lost in a sea of chatter down a rabbit hole. More non-violent protest is essential — before the next wave of demonstrators appears, the ones who are REALLY pissed and fed up and go underground to make bombs and use weapons.

God help us all if this level of hell-raising returns. The nat’l security state is ready for it and will defend the establishment in brutal fashion. But SOMETHING has to get people off their butts. Maybe seeing brave older men and women face the music will encourage younger people to put down their little screens and GET REAL!

According to the mainstream media all of the conditions in the US are like paradise.
The Military Industrial Complex is more profitable than ever in it’s history.
The Pharmaceutical industrial complex is more profitable than ever before.
The large banking institutions are paying the largest bonuses than they have ever paid before.
The wealthiest 2% are in a tax utopia and they are acquiring all of the bottom 98%’s assets.

My faux news tells me that Chris Hedges does not know what he is talking about.

According to the mainstream media all of the conditions in the US are like paradise.
The Military Industrial Complex is more profitable than ever in it’s history.
The Pharmaceutical industrial complex is more profitable than ever before.
The large banking institutions are paying the largest bonuses than they have ever paid before.
The wealthiest 2% are in a tax utopia and they are acquiring all of the bottom 98%’s assets.

Wo, be a bit nice. As a person who writes 12 hours a day for a living without being able to make a particularly comfortable living out of it, I understand where mistakes come from.

Chris Hedges does incredible work these days. I wonder how frustrated people like Hedges and Stephen Kinzer must have been while working at the New York Times.

Pretty bleak, eh? The thing that galls me is that we as Americans have to compete with “prison” labor in China…. really? I’ll research that statement. I don’t know anything about prison labor in China, but if that really is the case, that China has made it’s economic gains by exploiting their prisoners, then how can we win? We can’t!….. back later with an informed opinion.

Obama has embraced Bush’s foreign policy, war policy, even his Secretary of Defense. Looks like we can trust neither party to “change” anything. Yet, during the Clinton years, Jim Baker and Warren Christopher rigged the system so that no third party candidate could ever do what Ross Perot did in 1992.

Now, with the TSA, “Homeland Security” (nice Nazi ring to it, **Heimatslanddienst**), and SWAT teams everywhere, do you think they might be expecting a revolution?

When the government fears the people, you have liberty. When the people fear the government, you have tyranny.

“I think he needs to relax, breathe, and smell a flower with infinite gratitude.”

Of course you do–and that’s why you’re not Chris Hedges….

My fears are the same as yours.
When I investigate the history and the structure of our political climate I have come to find that there is very little wiggle room to enjoy my patriotism.

Joe,
I love your optimism.

IMO it’s hard to say what may come (except, as you note, Max won’t show up). The 60s produced some egalitarianism and civil rights that lasted for a few years. Then the godforsaken “conservatives” returned to screw it all up again — but with some positive results remaining for citizens.

A big difference between then and now is we were the King of All but now we’re teetering economically as the great change engine of history arrives, and we’re controlled by economic forces and powers beyond our grasp.

I predict more heavy drug use, social destruction (families, homelessness) and a depressed, beaten-down civil reaction — until people finally, out of desperation, hit the streets, at risk, to protest for change.

It will get ugly unless true anomie is here. Wishfully, our nat’l character of fighting back, MAY FINALLY resurface.

If it doesn’t, IMO we will see lots more poverty and crime, like in Eastern Europe and many other places, wherein so many are on the take and/or scrambling to stay alive and feed families. Basically the middle class becomes the lower m. c. and the lower m. c. drops, etc., not exactly the American dream.

Last, I strongly believe protest in the streets can force change — but it’s risky business that goes far beyond blogging. People will have a choice — get shit on or stand up and fight.

Okay, I’ve read an article that supports his statement. And I am appalled that we cannot do much about it from our end. What are we to do except spread the word, and pressure our government to lobby the UN to condemn China for their practices, and press for fair trade not free trade. We need to ask ourselves whether the cheap prices we get for consumer goods imported from China are really worth it? China sold it’s people the dream of Marx’s worker’s paradise and got slavery instead. We were sold the capitalist dream of free trade and wound up supporting communist totalitarianism! Free trade would be fair trade, if we were trading with free countries. I know it would hurt, but the only moral thing to do in this situation would be to cut off all trade with China until these abuses end. A UN sponsored embargo would do the trick! I know it’s radical, but something has to be done!

Anyone who is looking objectively can see it coming, how can a society that is so self consumed and indifferent to the rest of the world last, we are destroying our resources and our ecosystem in the name of profit. Killing in the name of corporate profits, the exploitation of the poor and sick. The world is also over populated and growing, something has to give the stress is growing higher and higher across the globe. Face it when 9/11 happened it set of the inevitable scenario. THE END OF THE EMPIRE

GREED THE ROOT TO ALL EVIL = RETUGLICON
GREED THE DESIRE TO WANT AND HAVE MOOOOOOOOORE THEN ONE NEEDS OR DESERVES……………………………

Thank God Hedges finally said “physically resist.” We’ve seen that contacting our representatives generally gets no results. Ordinary protests around the country–and even those by people like Stewart and Colbert–are either not covered or barely covered. The media does not give us the truth, just speculation or two opposing sides arguing with no facts presented.

However, if we pay attention and just look around, we can see the collapse now. I have many friends who are barely scraping by or who are just broke. Some of them are educated professionals. I’ve already learned to live on less with Social Security, and have managed to build up a supply of basics as well as alternative heating–so that gives you an idea of how bad it will become.

And since the clowns in Congress will not address our problems, the choice boils down to (1) hiding out in the woods or (2) revolution.

Actually, it’s fairly well known that China does indeed use slave labor for it’s businesses. And you’re right, we CAN’T compete against that. We were NEVER SUPPOSED TO. This whole last 30 years in this country have been a huge race to the bottom, with education, justice, and sanity going right down the toilet as quickly as the righties and the rich thought they could get away with it.

The thing is, if you look at everything they have done to us in the last 30 years, it’s pretty clear that it’s all been a definite plan. They lowered our wages, took away our benefits, raised prices on everything, bad mouthed American workers at every chance, dropped the tariffs that USED to keep business competitive for 200+ years, dropped taxes on businesses, gave them breaks for shutting down and moving factories to foreign countries (47,000 of them during W’s time ALONE), and a whole host of other things that were DESIGNED to destroy the living standard we had built up. This ENTIRE thing was done to us ON PURPOSE. And that is the part that kills me, this WAS ALL PLANNED.

We were NEVER intended to compete with the third world. We were ALWAYS intended to lose, lose lose. And we have. Only those whose plan in being used right now have gained a fucking thing. And that was ALWAYS the way it was supposed to work. I saw this coming 30 years ago. What the hell is wrong with everyone else?

European?
Try global.
With the Fed printing up $600 Billion dollars in It”s second round of quantitative easing and a possible monthly repeat, toilet paper will have more value than our dollar.

Quantitative easing explained:

End the Fed…
Our currency should belong to our society for society’s benefit.
The Fed is a parasite that is sucking the blood out of us.

The uptrend since March 2009 was a bear market rally contained within a much larger downtrend that started in 2000 …

My long term indicators continue to warn of serious weakness for DOW / S&P500 / Euro and strength for the Dollar.

Wilson Clark, Paul Erlich, David Brower, Mother Earth News… hell, even Thomas Malthus, explained this long ago. Any damn fool who reads the news sees it coming now. So I’m not sure this is much of an exclusive. I lived off grid from 1980 to 1995 because “I saw it coming.”

I just hope we’re all wrong, and something will wake us up–though it’s hard to imagine what, beyond an invasion from another planet.

The saddest part to me is that it really doesn’t have to be this way, if we’d stop killing each other and start working on things that actually matter to humans. It does please me immensely that countless hundreds of thousands, maybe millions, are doing the latter, even though they don’t generally make the headlines.

Not sure of the exact amount, but I think a Chinese worker gets $3 a day and in places like Malasia/Bangladesh it’s 25 cents. And I have also heard China uses slave labor, but not sure where you would go to confirm that. In any case, we cannot compete with those wages unless Congress changes the laws here (like tariffs and tax credits for corporations that outsource. And since Congress is bought by the corporations, don’t expect any changes.

Im not talking about money $ but we shouldn’t be broke where did all the money go?

Rhetoric of the wealthy:

We rule you.

We Fool you.

We shoot you.

Rhetoric of the working class.

We feed all.

Labor is what feeds the world and produces the wealth. Labor is what holds the floor up on their backs while the rich dances on it. Labor makes the chair, the rich sits idle. The rich sells the chair for profit but the profit isn’t in what the chair is sold for, the profit is in the cheap labor.

Labor is what is feeding the world. Who picks the beans from the fields? Not the rich. They sit on the porch drinking lemonade. The rich are unproductive.

The reason the nation collapsed in 1929 and today is the rich didn’t want to get rich being productive they wanted to get rich gambling.

Investment is a lie. Merge with another company and reduce the work force. One can say investment was in the merging but it didn’t create jobs, rather it created “downsizing”. Every merger resulted in downsizing, not jobs creation.

Another reason why the word “investment” is a lie is because it can also mean gambling. Buying stocks is called investment but it is actually gambling. A get rich scheme. Creating a bubble ie. housing market, is a know when to hold em, know when to fold em. If you bail out before the bubble bursts you hit pay dirt. But this investment isn’t productive. Crashes such and 1929 and today is never productive. America is hurt by it.

Monopoly Capitalism is the link-up between high finance, corporations and the government aka the United States. This monopoly in stocks, shares and state loans aka bail outs is exported outside the country into countries like China where cheap labor aka we feed all, is found.

Hows the War doing?

In time of war everyone is told to identify with the State. To go against this is treason against the state.

But is your country in danger? or the ruling class? The ruling class alone owns the State and controls all of society with its own class interest.

Are the workers defending their own interests, their own state, their own class in the front line trenches?

I love the phrase a corporate coup d’etat. It’s very real. But the main problem with it is that corporations are so stupid and shortsighted they couldn’t organize their way out of a paper bag if they didn’t have tons of money and credit to grease their way along.

Can someone please explain to me why we would even want to have an empire of any sort?

It’s very simple: Cut our military to 1/4 it’s present size, withdraw from all foreign bases and get our economy strong again.

No other option is sustainable. Thanks, George W. for a whole bunch of expensive NOTHING.

Not too long ago our government had a structure that was supportive of the middle class and used equalizing factors such as tariffs to guarantee a stable environment for a domestic manufacturing base. The proceeds of these tariffs was a large portion of the financing of the federal government. The dissolving of these protections for the US population has substantially shifted our wealth to the top 5% on the economic ladder.

“neo-feudalism” is a great term! It’s what neo-liberalism really is.

You are right. It was, in large part, a reaction to the sixties.

It’s about fncking time!

It’s about fncking time!

This totally despicable American empire, built largely since I was born (1944) although based on previous genocides (native Americans, Filipinos, Hawaiians, etc.) deservest to be dismantled inside and out.

I have been keeping an eye on the mass arrest story, Rawstory.com picked it up at 4:30. Not one single corporate news outlet website has mentioned it yet. Obviously any reporting on dissent is being suppressed. America will be lucky to make it to 2011. My heart is broken, I am afraid for my family, and afraid of my government.

Well, this is cheery! But, I long suspected we are the way of Rome. Since Bush got into office, we have headed on a collision course. The ‘Conservative’ rule has basically destroyed our Country. We are turning into a Monarchy. The ‘Haves’ have too much, and the ‘Have nots’ are growing. It reminds me of ‘It’s a Wonderful Life’. There are too many Mr. Potters.

You’re missing the part where “free trade” is benefiting exactly those it was intended to benefit. And it set it up by giving ignorant, selfish idiots “more junk” to buy cheaper, while telling them that “the more you by the better of a person you are”.

Consumerism is a disease. Seriously, honestly, truly a disease whereby the consumer is convinced that “buying that one other thing!” will make them “happy”, will fill the void in their broken soul. There’s a reason all the commercials on TV are about happy fun stuff, about being popular, being desired, being accepted, but only if you “buy this thing”. … so making all that cheap crap from China available to us, we fell into their trap and got hooked on buying more cheap crap.

Happiness is not about the amount of crap you own. But try telling that to Fox Nation or, in fact, 75% of this country. Have you seen the literal stampedes at Wal-Mart and other “made in China” bullshit stores this time of year? People are literally dying to buy more crap they don’t need, hoping it will _finally_ make them (or their dysfunctional kids) happy.

Nothing will be done because the top 2% are getting richer than ever before, and they control the very groups you call on to “fix it”… Their response? “But we already did, and it’s working very well”.

We need an entirely different mindset as a species, and we only do that when we become well educated, enlightened, and understand that “money and (alleged) scarcity” are the real problems… and are being used to enslave the masses for the benefit of the few. If you want a freer world where true freedom exists for everyone, you change gears and focus development on self-replicating production systems and more advanced robots. Once humans are not needed for production at all (our current problem is we’re in limbo where we still need substantial human labor, but not enough to keep everyone employed), THEN we can completely realign our world. Until then, we’ll be fighting the few who are holding the planet’s resources hostage and forcing us to live under a dead paradigm.

http://www.thevenusproject.com and http://www.thezeitgeistmovement.com .. For humanity, we’re stuck in a waiting game. Where we need to get to is kind of clear, and it is just as clear that the few benefiting the most won’t let us get there.. for now.

Welcome to Americorp. This is the land where liberals are criminals and the lower class is a parasite. Where, if you don’t watch Fox News, you don’t know the truth; education is socialist; speaking in complete sentences is too confusing; Walmart is your one stop shop for everything; McDonald’s is nutritious; and insurance companies tell you you aren’t eligible for care because you can buy drugs at Walmart and take care of yourself.

From another post I made:

In my mind the sooner we realize that we are a second-rate thoroughly broke (and broken) country the better, then we can slash our military budget to be in line with those around the rest of the globe, the Chinese can take over the mantle of world policeman, and we can avoid any more useless and stupid wars. I’m not seeing the benefit of being the world’s sole “super power”. We can then focus our efforts on being the country that we claim we are.

I have thought many times over the last year that I should (if I had any money to do it) buy a whole bunch of Saudi Riyal (their currency) which is, if I am not mistaken, currently fixed to the dollar, and which will, upon decoupling from the dollar when the dollar’s value plummets and inflation grips the US, skyrocket in value. Backed by the massive oil reserves and revenue of that country, I feel the Riyal would be a sound investment. Now, if I just had some money, or a job, or some hope. I feel really bad for my kids, bringing them into this shit.

You’ll note that the “heating question” is not about actual resources, but access to them. The few are holding them hostage. We need to free the resources if we’re ever to get out of this mess. http://www.thevenusproject.com gets into it quite well. We need to shed this monetary system because it is only serving the few. We need to change the way we view the world and planetary resources if we’re to service everyone.

I was reading the chapter in “Dismantling the Empire” detailing the wanton destruction and looting of Iraqi antiquities during and after the invasion when he died. The chapter seems allegorical and is all the more heartbreaking for it : The antiquities are really the Iraqi people who were brutalized, murdered, tortured, jailed, blown to bits and burned by the hundreds of thousands, all justified by carefully crafted lies, and for absolutely nothing. So let there be no misunderstanding : The American people more than deserve whatever shit storm Nemesis is sending our way.

Without the collapse of the “Empire of Amerika” any genuine political, economic and moral rebrith is impossible.

I have read Mr. Hedges book, “Death of the Liberal Class”. It is a very frightening glimpse of what has and is occuring in our Country. The Corporations of this country have led us to the tipping point of our society becoming a totalitarian regime, where democracy cannot survive the powers of the corporate world in collusion with our “leaders” of both Parties. The Wars we are fighting are not what we are led to believe by our government not by the general media, its nothing more than an attempt to help make corporations achieve more profits.

You remind me of a village idiot, Patty.

The rest of the world will keep the USA artificially propped up with loans because they are as dependent on keeping the whole mess running as it is as the USA is. Only when our big credit card gets declined by the rest of the world will the floor open up under us.

“US empire could collapse at any time..”

“Could”?

It already has. We’re just in mass denial.

When did they let you out of the insane asylum?

though the writing of the US demise has been on the wall for quite some time, I cannot help but think that the strikes on 9-11 were more successful than the planner’s wildest dreams.

During the presidency of Reagan, America went from being the greatest creditor nation in the world, to the greatest debtor nation in the world. Where did all the money go? To the coffers of wealthy multi-national corporations, to invest in building up manufacturing in 3rd world countries, to blow up a lot of places and do a lot of nasty research, oh yeah, and to support the lifestyle Americans haven’t been able to quite afford since 1980.

“Can someone please explain to me why we would even want to have an empire of any sort?”

Erm, because it requires little kings, and the top 2% like being little kings over the serfs? .. If you mean “we”, the people.. we don’t want an empire, we just want to live our lives. Knowing that is how the little kings abused us into their ability to build an empire. If we want to get back to just “living our lives”, we’re going to have to act outside of what we ‘want to do’, but the little kings know basic psychology and know the average serf will never do that unless things get _really_ bad.. and even then, MOST won’t do shit… not with guns and sonic cannons pointed at them.

And you know what helps the little kings the MOST? convincing the masses that “it’s OK to suffer now, you’ll be rewarded after you die” is something they can believe in. Religion facilitates this shit more than anything.. “pray for change [but don't act]“.. “god loves you more [even though you're suffering and he won't do shit to stop it]“.. it goes on and on. Sane, rational societies are near impossible to control like we’re being controlled.

Yeah,
they can watch us easily now. And the freaks can bust any of us as “suspected terrorists.”
F—’em, there’s risk in everything and we’re all exposed. There must be a purpose, i.e., all this blogging should eventually get us to the streets.
Otherwise, every word any of us writes is merely cathartic. That’s OK but WTF? Isn’t there more?????

which is exactly why so few are willing to put their lives on the line. Would be heroes will be killed one by one, and no one will know about it. It becomes a futile waste of life and a sacrifice no sane person would be willing to make under current circumstances. Too many people glued to the idiot box and being fed lies on a regular basis, not enough truth and honesty being displayed for all to see.

There’s a reason the 1st Amendment protects the press, and a reason the ruling elite took control of it all.

Actually, Limbaugh said it all when he spewed “FDR is dead. His policies live on, but we’re in the process of doing something about that”. They want to get rid of the very policies that made us such a strong, vibrant country for a while. They are foolish and greedy to the point of national suicide. As long as THEY stay on top, they don’t give a flying rat’s ass how low they drive the 98% of us, THEY ARE ON TOP. And like Aesop said many centuries ago, “it’s better to rule in hell than serve in heaven”. They REFUSE to cooperate, they INSIST on ruling. It doesn’t matter to them that we slide right down into third world status from first. These people are the biggest traitors one could possibly ask for. I think they should all be locked up in their own for profit prisons and left there to rot.

The 60′s were just a convenient excuse to destroy our society. They don’t believe in democracy, freedom or anything else that we supposedly live for. They believe in ORDER, with THEM at the top and everyone else kissing their asses just to survive. Don’t kid yourself, this is all about MONEY and POWER, nothing else.

No heating (or A/C) required down here in Costa Rica. No army. Plenty of good, cheap healthcare (private and public, take your choice). There’s still plenty of room!

To the top 2%. The rest of us have lost damn near everything so those who have more than they will EVER need can have more.

I believe in the Pendulum Theory of History and Empires. America is resilient, but it will hit a major economic/social/cultural bottom, much like that of a desperate alcoholic. The question is will we as a people have the guts to accept that and really change? Will we take to the streets? Will we face naked ugly truths on many levels about ourselves and our society? Will those of us who’ve bought into the shill of hatred of Liberals; of Big Government; of ‘high’ taxes’ of all the Corporate and Right Wing memes, finally see and accept the utter crap sandwich they’ve gleefully eaten for so long? I don’t know. Facing ugly truths is difficult, but no impossible. It’s happened before. The wild and horrific abuses of the Gilded Age didn’t last forever; Karl Rove’s Eternal GOP Majority faded quickly. The British Empire faded and contracted. Such a contraction of the American Empire and Ego wouldn’t be so bad either, but only if we finally grew up as a society and found our souls again. I don’t think I’ll live to see it. The Pendulum swings very slowly, but I’d like to have faith in my children and their generation. I’m teaching them what I can. Merry Christmas, all…

“I feel really bad for my kids, bringing them into this shit.”

That’s why I don’t want kids. I don’t understand how rational people could bring children into this miserable existence under these current circumstances. And it completely befuddles me how someone could have 6, 8, 10 kids.. Destroy the planet, much?

I have one daughter.. a serendipity I suppose.. and I’m doing my best to show her how to see beyond what’s being shown to her by this dysfunctional society. She does good, mostly, but texting and facebooking and other intentionally fabricated distractions make me wonder where she’ll end up. We have way too much ADOS in this country.. Attention Deficit.. Ooohhh shiny!

Appearing before a US Senate Committee in 194/15 Paul Warburg a German banker working for Kuhn, Loeb and a member of the Federal Reserve Board stated:

“We (?) shall have World government whether we like it or not, The only question is whether World Government will be achieved by conquest or consent”.

Within weeks it will be 2011. A span of almost 100 years amd the outlook fpr wpr;d hovernmenyt is rather bleak, Still empires take a long time to end.

YES! Why do you think there’s been this mad scramble for wealth in the uppest echelons? They are preparing for the worst, hunkering down with as many assets (gold, etc.) as they can because the US will rot into a nightmare of poor and destitute. The 1% needs to build walls around their gene pools and live in the caves of their mansions and Escalade motorcades with rifles and guns and guards.

She also has a right to say whatever she wants to on this blog. Telling her to “shut the fuck up” is so cruel and forceful! Are you sure you are really a liberal at all??

I said this about a month ago that a coup would occur in this country by the corporatist’s. The republicans control this country because they are aligned with the corportist’s and they have the money. This tax cut deal was the final nail in the coffin of America as we know it. Unless people start rising up America it is all over. You can see that our basic needs like education are being gutted to the point that local communities will have to close them. Basic services like Police, Fire and public works are being slashed. When progressives/liberals sat home on election day they didn’t realize that they sealed the fate of this country. Reagan opened the barn door slightly and bush left it fully open to let foxes in to destroy this country. I blame reagan and the right wing media for lying to people to think and vote against their best interests. RIP AMERICA.

If I raise my kids to be responsible world citizens and set good examples (for example, our kids have never eaten meat, and they understand why and agree that this is important), why is having several of them bad? If the only the ignorant have many children, then it doesn’t look good for the human gene pool, what to speak of the voting results.

Do you wash your hands before you eat, WJM? A knuckle dragger throwing feces tends to have his hands put a bit of a different taste to his food if he doesn’t wash hands frequently….and completly!!

I work with one of those ‘little kings” he has a lot of money from the stock market and treats me like a peasant. He is a cold heartless man. He mocks me when I give leftover food to the homeless. So he throws the food away so I don’t see it . He is of the ilk that the bottom feeders need to die. Survival of the fittest. I hate it but keep my mouth shut because I have to pay my bills. Unfortunately those lucky souls still working probably feel like I do that we are lucky to have a job but inside we are seething. But I take comfort in the knowledge I am better than him in my heart.

When that happens to peons, we file bankruptcy. Don’t celebrate the end of America because if we go down, we take the rest of the world with us and we’re in a better position to survive on what we can produce than almost any other Country in the world. America could live on used consumer goods for a decade before we’d need to replace and 10,000 cottage industries would spring up overnight. It wasn’t that long ago that our Great grandparents opened up this country in ox carts. We can do it again if we have to.

The major part of the corporate coup d’état occurred on September 11, 2001. We MUST have an independent investigation into what happened on that day in order to save our Country.

INVESTIGATE 9/11 NOW

It’s time for the whole world to stand up and help Americans save our freedom and constitution.

And by the way, CORPORATIONS ARE NOT PEOPLE……..AND DO NOT HAVE THE SAME RIGHTS…….like the corporate owned U. S. Supreme Court crazily tries to tell us.

Well Davey. Our money went to the corporations who have built new factories in the two largest populations in the world. There is a reason why we do not have an investigative news system in this country. If we saw what is happening in China and India we would look around and say “Why are we not rebuilding our infastructure” 1980 National Debt less than a Billion. The RayGun revolution was a corporate coupe. We are no better off than the USSR was in 1988.

The only positive thing I can see about it is that as our united soverign states in America begin to split up, Cali will be able to get all the welfare states off our backs and the ingnorant who live by the propoganda they get from the media and from their Fairy Tales they think are true can hit bottom. All that “I am Blessed” crap goes away real quick when hunger and despair kick in.

Just like the response from this christian fairy tale believing country when attacked, the downtrodden masses when hungry are not going to turn to their invisible providers for help. They are going into the streets where they will meet our corporate army who will collect them and take them to our corporate prisons where they will be fed the genetically engineered foods, seafood from the gulf and at some point good ol’solient green.

Merry Christmas Davey. I hope you enjoyed all the years that you did not have a clue as to what was happening around you. start growing your own food and get a bike, we will be the least traveled people in the idustrialized world. welcome to the New World Order, now take a number and go sit down

“We’ve undergone a corporate coup d’état in slow motion,” he said. “Our public education system has been gutted. Our infrastructure is corroding and collapsing. Unless we begin to physically resist, they are going to solidify neo-feudalism in this country.”

It’s time for a general strike. Stock up on food, water, and batteries folks. He’s right, we have to stop corporate hegemony.

Corporations, especially banks and energy companies, have to be limited in size by law, and must be legally excluded from politics.

The media have to give equal time to all candidates.

I absolutely agree with you: “Would be heroes will be killed one by one, and no one will know about it.” I have had much anxiety, grief, depression about not doing something – with my body (?) – to make a final stand. And then I think the same sentence you wrote. It doesn’t matter. It wouldn’t matter. It won’t matter. Hell, probably a majority of Amerikans think things are just ducky. And I have friends (former?) who still believe Obusha will save us. The only thing sustaining me now is my immediate family, the earth community, Joe Bageant, Carolyn Baker and the many writers, thinkers, journalists who are fighting the good fight. I am glad I never had children.

100 years from know. History will record that Reagan was the worst president ever and led to the destruction of this country as an example of social democracy. Whenever I hear anyone saying that this country started becoming inequitable I always hear 30 years ago.

This guy is confused. You cannot be a part time revolutionary. I will repost what I said previously in regard to these amateur revolutionaries who think getting arrested is fighting or makes a difference.

“Typically speaking it does not make sense to be a subversive as an American citizen because you already have an ID card, a license, social security number, phone number and all that. They already know everything about you so you can never be an effective subversive.

The effective subversives will be Mexican gangsters, foreigners who come with false identities, who don’t have friends, who don’t have lives to leave behind, who spend years training in camps for subversives where they learned what they need to know. Professional subversives are not kids coming from their safe suburban neighborhoods who think in their 20s they want to take on the government who had 20+ years to gather information about them, who knows where they live, what they look like, what their name is, has their DNA and finger print and can track them on satellite and through all technical means.

I hope you understand that if Americans can’t do something basic like start mafias and gangs without being locked up in prison, what makes you think they can fight a revolution under that kind of law enforcement scrutiny, and under that kind of counter intelligence? Look at a prison and you see all the subversives who thought they could fight back and stand up for themselves, they are the casualties of the revolution, and the ones who aren’t in prison are dead.

I guess because most of them are poor and black or brown, nobody recognizes the history of the whole situation. When white teenagers start trying to be subversives they’ll find themselves facing the same shit and of course they wont know how to deal with it.”

“Revolutions aren’t led from the bottom, they are lead from the top. Until the establishment decides it’s time for a revolution then you’ll just have a bunch of subversives who will be locked up and killed off.

If these subversives had any power we’d see some positive effects from their actions. The fact that we don’t means they are loud and powerless. Siding with them will just speed up your demise unless there is a truly organized resistance and in that case it wouldn’t be people online, it wouldn’t be hackers, it would be people with the power to kill, willing to die, and highly educated, rich, etc. Essentially it would be the intelligence operatives trained to lead revolutions, and the rich benefactors.

I’m not an intelligence operative. I’m not a revolutionary. I’ve never shot a gun, I don’t know how to make IED’s, I would just get killed. So would the majority of you. Let the professional mercenaries and soldiers handle it and stay out of it.”

That’s right, we are in the latter stages of a concerted effort to destroy the last vestiges of the middle and working class and of democracy in the U.S. This is more than mere greed or the irrational exuberance of the speculative class. This is about establishing a 21st century neo-feudalism where the vast majority of people become not serfs bound to the land (as in medieval feudalism), but are instead bound by debt that they labor to service for their entire lives. We have devolved from citizens, to consumers (fueled by debt), and finally into debt slaves.

This interview with Michale Hudson succinctly describes this process:

http://michael-hudson.com/2010/12/deficit-hawks-one-two-punch/

Michale Hudson is one of the few economists who consistently identifies the realities surrounding the gutting of the American economy by the parasitical financial oligarchs. Unlike most economists, he is an economic historian and brings an insight and perspective that few others seem able to do.

“The Anglo American fraud and genocide cartel will be exposed. WikiLeaks was just a teaser. The Boyz took the bait, exposed their reaction profile, and aligned the forces, leaving it vulnerable. This is not directed against the American people but against the syndicate which was allowed to highjack the United States government. The real terrorists are deep within your own structures. A flash event will be generated for use that will create a political and economic vortex. The 21st American Revolution just started. It is all inter-connected. The Asians are the ones who will push the US over the cliff after the bankers themselves stepped to the edge by blowing themselves up. The WikiLeaks information comes from several hard drives from DeutscheBank and Goldman Sachs. The hard drives where handed over by a Goldman midlevel banker whom the European authorities had in custody in reference to the Euro 350 billion fraud Goldman Sachs engineered for the Greek Govt’s Treasury Department. The evidence that is piling up all over the place is incomprehensible.

We agree on not having kids. This is a complete mess we live in. A bowl of shit.

That being said, I don’t take seriously people who know nothing about the life of real subversives talking about how they want to stand up to government. This guy should go live in Mexico and discuss with the Mexican drug cartels how to go against government.

If he’s afraid to sit with these people or if he cannot speak spanish and several other languages he will be completely useless as a subversive. He is a cheerleader.

Real subversives wont speak just english. Real subversives won’t be afraid to kill and have been trained to kill. Real subversives don’t have families, don’t have names, don’t have identities and I mean it in the literal sense. Real subversives don’t love, don’t fear, and most importantly real subversives don’t work day jobs where they pay taxes to the government they claim to be fighting against.

None of the vocal liberal types are real subversives because if they were they wouldn’t be talking to the media. Do you think gang members are going to talk to the media about their plans for revolution? Do you see whats left of the italian mafia doing that? or the triads? or al qaeda? They are paramilitary forces and they have their own intelligence and their own army.

The problem with dealing with “the people” and “revolution” is none of us got to sit down with the Godfathers of the various mafias to discuss who will get what when they take power. So unless you are seated at the table of the underworld elite, you’ll be a peasant after the revolution just as you were before.

Just yesterday at the local market a guy was arrested for making “terrorist threats”. He was angry at being fired and said he was going to “do something scary”.

The line between pissed off citizen and terrorist is actually quite small these days. No accident if you ask me………….. Example: just how long has FOX been running the TV show Cops? That show was designed to showcase Americans rights being tossed out the door. It was designed so that Americans would get used to our Fascist State.

Then again maybe it is not a conspiracy; Put enough like minded people in power and they don’t even have to talk about their total disdain for the Constitution.

ODOAFII,

You are right on the money with your observation of interdependence. I laugh every time I see some writer or talking head try to pose China as a threat to America. They have no understanding of the economic relationship between the two countries when they say those things. China is more dependent upon us for their survival that we are on them for our credit line.

Over 30% of their total GDP is shipped to the US and over 40% of their financial assets are dollar denominated. If they got into a trade war with the US their economy would collapse. If they tried to dump US bonds not only would they be cutting their own fiscal nose off to spite their face the resulting drop in the value of the dollar would reduce exports to the US leading to a economic meltdown in THEIR country.

Ya see my friends China is not OUR economic drug dealer they are our BUYER. If they tried to stop selling their goods to our economic markets the withdrawal symptoms would be severe and in a country on the edge of drowning in its own sewage and currently choking on its air the only thing keeping the society from erupting in mass protest is their economic expansion and the lure of consumerism. If that expansion has even the slightest hiccup and you WILL have a 2nd cultural revolution!
As for the demise of America…well that started when Bill Casey flew to Paris to make the deal with the Iranians to hold the hostages until after the 1980 election. When and how it ends is as Mr. Hedges says is difficult to time. I can only hope that we split into three or four countries; East Coast, West Coast, The South and the Red Central states. I get GREAT satisfaction knowing that the South and Central Red states will have to get by without the wealth of the two coast countries.

I have one daughter and one granddaughter. Granddaughter and I are working on her learning how to survive with little money. What worries me is that my generation is the last to have any understanding of how to cut back. From the middle of the Baby Boom on, they don’t have a clue.

Don’t take my word for it, look at the report from the Inspector general regarding US infrastructures
(roads, bridges,tunnels. public buildings, schools. electricity grids etc….), The US is not far behind
Zimbabwe…..

A more important question is; Why do we do business with China?

Funny I see a population expolosion of the Ignoramus branch of our species!

oh

Maybe you should go back to school and learn HOW TO READ. That wasn’t directed at Patty, it was directed AT YOU. Good God, you are even MORE of a moron than I gave you credit for. You clearly don’t even make it to imbecile.

I am sure Patty is fine. YOU, on the other hand, are a total fuck. And you prove it with every post. So I repeat: Shut the fuck up.

Hey aghast – I have two friends that bailed out to Costa Rica and they love it. One went before I bailed out to Russia and the other after I’d been out of there for some time.
I’m staying here and never returning, at least not against my will. Living is so easy outside of the land of fear mongering and Big Brother! Have you noticed that only in the US there is talk of terrorists under every bed and around every shadow? And they are the only country that has the ‘fear of god’ and is the only country that even mentions that one world government. I have been out of the states long enough to see that even the daily advertising there is part of the psyops and helps spread the fear of everything.
Besides, I have clean food, free of very inexpensive medical (my choice) and just last week friends of my wife’s family butchered a beef cow and we were given 20 kilograms of prime beef – no hormones or chemicals – only grass fed.

Ok I can buy that line or reasoning. Where/how can we get confimation?

Yep, all you can do is die on your knees praying to God. What a life.

This Nation is IMHO to broken to fix. Most of The People are all on mind neutralizing medications, drugs or alcohol to bother to fight.

Does anyone want to guess why there is a push to make pot legal? Because it saps your desire to fight. A stoned nation will NEVER rise up against their Government.

Just six years ago I told people that our economic collapse was engineered and underway. I was told to move to another Country if I did not love the U.S.A.

I love my “Homeland” I would fight to defend it from any enemy on our soil. One small problem. While this may be “Homeland” it sure as hell does not belong to me or anyone that thinks like me.

A lot of it was just paper and never real. The derivative market was all just paper. Trouble was that “paper” represented a total greater than the GWP (gross world product). That is when the pyramid started collapsing. Even the dumbest wealthy knew it was time to get out.

At this point we need to consider what would we lose if it all came down? We could do anything (largely) we wanted and we’d be able to keep our income. We could demand to get paid in silver – the people choose their currency. For me, I get no use from social welfare programs. I also see no use for our wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. In fact, I see little use we get from our military, EXCEPT the defensive abilities. But what is there left to defend? Debt? Yes, it may all come down but the question we must ask is; Is that a bad thing anymore? :(

Fight with what? have you ever killed anybody? Probably not. Do you know how to kill if you had to? Probably not.

Stop being fake. Unless you are a gangster don’t pretend to be one. And if you are a gangster then you are an idiot for advertising it.

You’ll fight to defend it? How are you going to get trained without the government finding out you are training?

Exactly so…
Which in turn will create even more stress on the natural environment , which cannot sustain such demands for it’s resources, leading to a desperate scrambling amongst those who would have it all, until it ends.

Really? So you take down the US government and the italian, irish, chinese or other mafia decides they are your new government. Are you prepared to form a gang and kill them?

What about a militia? are you a member of a militia? If you aren’t a member of a gang or militia then you are a cheerleader.

The rise of WalMart is a very important clue. WalMart is the largest retailer in America. It imports most of the junk it sells. It relies on cheap labor abroad. At home, it underpays its employees, both in salary and benefits. WalMart is forcing the reduction of salaries in this country. American workers now have to compete with the world. Salaries are coming down folks.

Can you please stop blaming the progressive/liberals for everything. Geezzee look around you…didn’t you just watch our elected democratic representatives WITH a majority vote for the rich and corporations. A vote by a liberal/progressive would have done nothing because there are not real representatives of us in the White House or Congress. Go blame the real guilty party….Corporations and the political representatives owed by them.

“I hope we shall crush in its birth the aristocracy of our monied corporations which dare already to challenge our government to a trial by strength, and bid defiance to the laws of our country.”
Thomas Jefferson

This fight has been going on for over 200 years. They way the won was through a dumbing down of the younger generations and a compliant corporate owned Main Stream Media. Nobody wants to know the truth, because then they would have to deal with it.

The Revolution will not be televised.

Don’t forget gun control. Racism, religion, classicism.

Maybe he has a reason. I think he is overly optimistic about the timeline. These things always take so much longer than I think they should. But as for his conclusion, I see the same scenario as he does.

Well then you better form your alliances with the Mexican drug cartels, Al Qaeda, Cuba etc.

Because when the revolution happens one or all of them will take over entire sections of the USA. American citizens don’t have the drug cartels and organized crime gangsters to do even basic stuff like order a hit or make tax free money. Americans don’t even have fake ID and passports.

I think a general strike has more possibilities than riots in the street. Staying home is palatable to some people.

I don’t think I must have expressed myself I don’t blame progressives and liberals. I am a proud liberal and I lived in 1960′s and 1970′s ( I was a kid) when tax rates were higher for the rich. Schools were funded, one parent could stay home with the kids and colleges were affordable. I saw the beginning of Reagonomics start to destroy the social fabric of this country to benefit the rich. It’s hard to sit back and see what’s happening now when I remember and benefited so greatly during the 60′s and 70′s. So many people are being fooled by our MSM to think and vote against their best interests. I guess we have to hit rock bottom in this country before people realize that the rich and their tax cuts are hurting this country.

Fabulous article, and IMHO, dead on. All of the signs are there. International corporatism is gutting the American middle class while posting record profits, the rise of corporate rights above those of citizens (Citizens United), massive transfer of wealth to the richest Americans, the coming demise of Social Security and other safety nets, unprecedented levels American federal debt with money owed to the world, and the collapse of the dollar. In the midst of these signs, all we can bring ourselves to do is cut taxes and print more dollars.

There was a very good episode of Frontline that went into the damage that WalMart ALONE has done tot his country’s retail manufacturing sector. They used the example of Rubbermaid, which was a NH company for 75 years at that time, employing about 300 people, the largest in the community. Walmart went to them and said “We want to sell your products but we want to do it at 30% less than your COST”. Rubbermaid said “we can’t do that, it would destroy our company”, where WM said “Sure you can, just move your factory over to China, you can pay next to nothing for wages, and we can make money selling your stuff”. RM said “We can’t do that to this community, we’ve been part of it for 75 years”, and WM came back with “Then we will just take it all over to China, make YOUR products and drive you out of business”. The final scene in the show was the factory being auctioned off to foreign interests, while the workers sat by and cried. So now, you can buy Rubbermaid products, but they AIN’T Rubbermaid. They are cheaper, Chinese CRAP.

I myself won’t darken WM’s doorway, and I tell everyone I know not to as well. These people shouldn’t be rewarded for what they have done to this country, and Sam Walton would probably disown his scum sucking children for what they have done since he died. They should be locked up for being such sorry, selfish, greedy shit. And every GD lawmaker who passed those damned tax cuts should be taken out and flogged, then locked up for the rest of their miserable lives. They are just as much if not MORE to blame than the greedy. They let themselves be bought off.

And for the record, we closed and shipped off 47,000 FACTORIES during W’s 8 years. Any wonder that we lost 8 MILLION jobs during the same period?

You are idiculous. Protest just allows them to identify and take you out. You’ll go on the protester list.

Face it, American citizens wont be doing the fighting. It will be gangsters, cartels, and intelligence operatives from other countries. American citizens can’t even form gangs without being locked in prison on charges. You think Americans will be able to form militias, buy guns, and train without being detected or stopped?

It wont happen. And if you think revolution will be non violent, that wont happen either. So either you are prepared to kill and be killed for revolution, or you are a cheerleader. If you are prepared to kill and be killed then you better not be posting these posts under your real identity because the NSA,CIA, and FBI probably track every post.

Not that I disagree with your sentiments, but you don’t present too many options:

-Be a totally complicit victim. (No thank you.)
-Organize (gang, militia, etc) without organizing (because The Man(tm) will find out)
-Resist (but not too much)…

“The End” is coming, you and he agree, but what do you propose to do about it if his options don’t suit you?

Which is why the subversives will be foreigners, or street gangsters.

These same idiot liberals who push for gun control and who want to fight the street gangs in urban communities are the ones who now are looking for leaders, BEGGING for leaders.

Why don’t they look in prison? Thats where all the subversive Americans are. And the leaders are locked down 23 hours a day in supermax. Look at what they did to John Gotti.

Well, you could of told someone.

Well, you could of told someone.

He wasn’t talking about ME, moron.

“For me, I get no use from social welfare programs.”

So can we assume you’ve written to the government, informing them of your rejection of any future assistance via Medicaid, Medicare, Social Security, Unemployment or any other “social” programs?

“The sky is falling!” or “The End is near!” or “Collapse is at hand!” or “Danger Will Robinson!”

All sounds the same to me. What, specifically and in concrete terms, does this even mean? Will I have my non-teaching university job tomorrow? Can I still get bread and beans? How much will gas cost for my little car? If my house catches fire or somebody robs me, can I still call 911, and if not, who -if anyone?

I don’t mean to belittle the sincerity of whistle blowers, fear mongers or denialists. Present your facts without hyperbolic empty rhetoric. If all of this is inevitable (as the only common thread seems to state), then let’s make a plan for how to deal with it as rational, civil people while we still can.

It is hard being a futurist. The variables are immense, the imagination is unpredictable, and the future is non-linear, now multiply that a million fold and it becomes clear, there are multiple paths flowing and weaving towards the future. America is exceptionally strong in its creative and inventive prowess, but while this is true, a 14 trillion dollar deficit is a huge disadvantage, that leaves America with its hands tied behind its back. Russia and China, should not get too arrogant, because the world markets are interlinked into a systematic whole. Let one of the major pieces fall, and the whole system will be thrust into chaos. When Corporations were given all the legal rights of a person, that was the beginning of the coup. Trouble is that corporations in psychological terms exhibit all the symptoms of a pure psychopath. Corporations are machines, programmed by quarterly earnings, and an army of yes men, who will stop at nothing at raping the Earth of its resources, and dumbing down its customer base into consuming zombies. America may fall in the same way that Britain became a has been empire.

My bad man, sorry :( I have a friend that works in the pallet industry. Nothing moves without a pallet and they are slow. If they’re not making pallets, product isn’t moving and if product isn’t moving, neither is the economy.

Mr. Smith,
My good friend lives in China and he simply refuses to ever go back to the US. We were in the Vietnam war – he a helicopter pilot and I on the turf. He has only good things to say about China and has lived there for over 15 years. And I moved to the center of Russia in 1999 – and sir, I don’t want to return to the states either.

well Johnflagg what a yarn you can tell I havent heard one like that since I was blowing lightning bolts out my ass!

No. I’m saying there are certain things American citizens can do and certain things we can’t do.

If you are an Italian American and born into a mafia family with connections to Italy then there are a different set of rules for you and what you can do should you decide to be a revolutionary. If you are from a rich dynastic family like Patty Hearst there are different rules that apply to you.

I’m saying if you are a middle class peasant or poor/lower class, you’ve already been taken out of the game. They already have the noose around your neck. I’m saying the lower and middle class in America are powerless. I’m saying in specific the urban American lower class are the most powerless, yet somehow the rich elite college professor award winners who never had to face the governments wrath in their entire life are the most vocal “revolutionaries”?!

So we have millions of prisoners from poor communities all across this country, where are these college professors? Why isn’t code pink and all these Ex-CIA’s going to prisons and talking to these people? Better yet why aren’t they going to the toughest more scary ghettos in the USA to talk to the bloods, the crips, MS13, the REAL subversives?

I know why, it’s because they are afraid to sit or talk to these sorts of people. But they expect these sorts of people to die for their interests LITERALLY. All while they promote gun control, harsh as possible drug sentencing, and of course they wont hire any of these people to work for their businesses doing anything legit.

So we have a class of subversives who get treated like shit, and we have white middle class wannabes who want to protest, talk, make noise and piss off the feds so they’ll crack down even harder on the subversives who are continually treated like shit?

I’m not taking the Pulitzer winning writer seriously. He’s just a writer. He’s no more of a subversive than you or me. But he wants to pretend like he is. Just like Michael Moore who probably doesn’t even own a gun and probably never shot one, but who wants to take on the bankers who have blackwater mercenaries waiting to receive orders to take out entire families of subversives in ways which will look like car accidents, like cancer, or HIV, etc.

Until somebody posts on Rawstory with actual gang/street level subversive experience I can’t take these articles seriously. Rawstory is a good site, I like the articles but they need to interview a few street level gangsters or former gangsters who actually DID stuff and not these people who are entirely theoretical like Julian Assange.

The Zombies will start to get a clue, and will have to find scapegoats. They’ve already started with Illegal immigrants. Everyone but themselves. God forbid the ignorant take personal responsibility for ANYTHING. Everything on TV is real to them. Strange society we live in.

I know what you mean, but overall, the economy is actually slowly coming along. It was a deep, deep hole, with the actual recession beginning in December of 2007 (almost no one appears to be aware of that), but it is going to take some time…along with the misery.

I’m in the construction business and it’s also very slow.

Robert, Chris Hedges has presented his facts clearly many times before, without “hyperbolic empty rhetoric”. If all you know about him is what you’ve read in this small article there is much more to explore. He is well educated and a prolific writer. His work appears regularly on truthdig.com.

Of course. And in the 70s-80s it was black gang members who received the scapegoat punishment.

I think this time is different though. I think this time there wont be a scapegoat. Many white middle class people are going to be treated like subversives this time while in the 60s 70s 80s these people were artificially shielded. Now the feds are focusing in on the white middle class for the first time ever.

Hedges is particularly lucid on my favorite reason for the decline of America; the power of the reich-wing media (propaganda) machine. He traces it back to WW l and the way the economic powers in America used propaganda to push America into that war for the sake of the investment American banks had in England and France.

I think that this propaganda machine has soared in influence beginning in ernest in the early 90′s as they went after Clinton (they did exactly the same thing to Obama in the past two years). The emergence of Faux News and the hate-talk radio/cable schlock-miesters like Rush LIMPbaug, Shawn Insannity, Glenn Dreck, and Shrill O’Liely has created a parallel universe where any fact can be tortured into confessing to whatever lie is needed at the moment.

Orwell was only off by 10 years.

I agree. But I think an argument could also be made that it occured when Reagan took office. I always laugh when republicans exalt him like their Jesus.

But the 9-11 whitewash was such a red flag and needs proper, INDEPENDENT, investigation. I wanted to say yesterday, in regards to that TSA story on how they are a complete joke, letting obvious weapons/guns/bombs though, that if you are still in denial about what went down on 9-11 then look at TSA. The fact that time and time again they FAIL at spotting obvious weapons yet no “terrorism” has occured In this country (when it easily could have – save for the republicans) since 9-11 should at least make you pause. If the “terrorists” succeeded against their enemy they would have done it over and over again. They would hit ‘em while they’re down. But they didn’t. Before you say, “what about the ‘underwear bomber’ or the ‘shoe bomber’, they got those ‘terrorists’, didn’t they?” Who got them? The FBI? The same FBI that blatantly setup a guy just recently? The same FBI that fucked one if their own when she blew the whistle? And what resulted from 9-11? Well, the Patriot Act, which is huge in volume, which no one read (or was allowed to), which Obama, along with leadership in Congress, has done nothing to fix. But they dont DO anything anyway.

Oh, and it’s Christmas time and what does that mean? Terror Alerts! And video of Osama bin Laden. Every year, people! It’s ALL slight of hand. Distract with fear and confuse, then rape and pillage. America needs a big dose of smelling salts.

Anyway, I know it’s a rant. But all this is such BS that I had to vomit a little.

I remember then I had been telling everyone that it was coming, I had seen the signs, being the oldest one at the company I have lived through several of them, and they kept telling me to change the foil on my hat. Needless to say, once it hit I didn’t have the heart to tell them, “I TOLD YOU!!”. LOL, Happy Holidays Dalton…

But you notice the member of the “party of no [original thoughts]” used my line back at you.. what a fucktard he is.

Hey.. douchebag.. if you like other people’s sayings so much, you should probably credit them when you use them. And no, I don’t approve of you using my quip, but hey.. that’s free speech for ya, you get to be all douchebaggery till the cows come home and no one is gonna stop ya. Laugh at ya, yeah.. but not stop ya.

“If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their money, first by inflation and then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them (around the banks), will deprive the people of their property until their children will wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered.” – Thomas Jefferson

Looks like now its a done deal, Spoiled American consumers don’t have enough sense to pull their money out of those monsters and close their wallets. Would flip the script overnight.

Just thinking back to the thinking about the Vietnam War. The powers that be in the USA considered it a ‘must win’ or else the Third World would start to get restive, and challenge our economic dominance unless we punished them with our military might.

Well, we failed. Utterly. And the consequences are unfolding now; first it was the oil embargoes, that had all the money flowing into oil rich states. Then it was manufacturing, which went to Asia and isn’t coming back. Now it’s our education: whole universities are shutting down language instruction in a world where knowing more is crucial…

We can’t run forever on NOTHING.

I’m pretty sure he knows how these nested comments work.. he’s just playing that 3 year old game “I’m not touching you I’m not touching you” with his finger in your face. Since that’s all the more developed these kinds of people’s psyches are, that’s what we have to put up with. The whole “rubber glue” or “I know you are but what am I” from dumb and dumber (he’s both).

“many”, if more than two then you’re contributing to the resource crunch, regardless of how well you raise them. The planet can’t take too many more humans before it really starts to fall apart.

Raising your kids to be good world citizens is great, but if that’s less than 1/10 of 1 percent, it still doesn’t matter.

There’s a reason that as education rises the number of children a woman has declines.

All of our problems can be traced back to the Vietnam War? ???

(Monster)
Once the religious, the hunted and weary
Chasing the promise of freedom and hope
Came to this country to build a new vision
Far from the reaches of kingdom and pope
Like good Christians, some would burn the witches
Later some got slaves to gather riches

But still from near and far to seek America
They came by thousands to court the wild
And she just patiently smiled and bore a child
To be their spirit and guiding light

And once the ties with the crown had been broken
Westward in saddle and wagon it went
And ’til the railroad linked ocean to ocean
Many the lives which had come to an end
While we bullied, stole and bought our a homeland
We began the slaughter of the red man

But still from near and far to seek America
They came by thousands to court the wild
And she just patiently smiled and bore a child
To be their spirit and guiding light

The blue and grey they stomped it
They kicked it just like a dog
And when the war over
They stuffed it just like a hog

And though the past has it’s share of injustice
Kind was the spirit in many a way
But it’s protectors and friends have been sleeping
Now it’s a monster and will not obey

(Suicide)
The spirit was freedom and justice
And it’s keepers seem generous and kind
It’s leaders were supposed to serve the country
But now they won’t pay it no mind
‘Cause the people grew fat and got lazy
And now their vote is a meaningless joke
They babble about law and order
But it’s all just an echo of what they’ve been told
Yeah, there’s a monster on the loose
It’s got our heads into a noose
And it just sits there watchin’

Our cities have turned into jungles
And corruption is stranglin’ the land
The police force is watching the people
And the people just can’t understand
We don’t know how to mind our own business
‘Cause the whole worlds got to be just like us
Now we are fighting a war over there
No matter who’s the winner
We can’t pay the cost
‘Cause there’s a monster on the loose
It’s got our heads into a noose
And it just sits there watching

(America)
America where are you now?
Don’t you care about your sons and daughters?
Don’t you know we need you now
We can’t fight alone against the monster

Oh, I don’t know. The class war began in earnest with the selection of Reagan in 1980 but it wasn’t in full swing until around 1984.

Don’t be so quick to believe the lie that the rest of the world “needs us”. China is showing us that we’re becoming obsolete faster than we ever thought we would. And don’t forget that civilizations existed and thrived long before the U.S. even existed.

If you want to tear down an entire wall of your house, a wall that if ripped out would collapse it, you can build structures to bear the load first, then rip the wall out. The rest of the world is rapidly building support structures, and I would guess with either the knowledge of or intent to “pull down that wall” that is Amerika.

And our great grandparents weren’t Capitalists, they were laborers. That’s the point the ruling elite likes to gloss over, and why we’re so fucked.

There is no reason to expect anything else from this twit. It has been about a month, now, and this idiot has yet to say a single thing of ANY substance. It’s all insults and taunts. NO thought behind a single bit of it. Amazing that this twit could think that he or she actually has something to say or that this is how political discussion should be done. What a piece of shit. And a sad commentary on this country that THIS is accepted as legitimate. It’s just pathetic.

“Because it saps your desire to fight.”

Tell that to all the Vietnam Vets that spent most of their time stoned and blowing up asians.

The bulk of the American fighting force during the Revolutionary war weren’t professional soldiers, mercs, gansters, or anything of that nature.. they were farmers and children.

Just because YOU can’t conceive of killing or fighting doesn’t mean everyone else out there is as stunted as you.

Excellent! It does seem true how artists like poets, songwriters, comedians, painters get to the heart of the matter first. They cut their way past the bullshit to see the unvarnished truth.

Do you eat food? then you use social welfare programs since all of our food is subsidized.

We should have gotten physical 10 years ago.

Yep. That’s the direction. The Establishment learned from the Vitetnam protests. Dissent is now effectively illegal and anyone can be disappeared. The national security state is now in place and we have a ministry of the interior (secret police aka DHS), habeas corpus is no more, the security apparatus has been “professionalized,” and posse comitatus has been ended, allowing NorthCom to impose martial law. The US is now a giant concentration camp at the mercy of the corporate state, and the corporate state (fascism) has no mercy. Enjoy what’s left while it lasts.

We compete with our own homegrown prison labor now. The inmates in GA are on strike as of yesterday. They have been slaves to the states or the corporations for many years. How come we have so many prisoners? Because it’s good for business, not for labor.
I am so saddened by the paltry number of protesters at the White House yesterday. There were even fewer at a Chase bank the same day. When we do manage respectable numbers the MSM lets no news out.
Watch and record Jessie Ventura’s show tonight on trutv. It isn’t a conspiracy theory if it’s TRUE!

don’t worry…anyone referring to themselves or anyone else as “Dude”, no one takes seriously anyway.

He’s telling the truth and I don’t think Obama can stop it now that the Corporations have taken over the Government and the Courts. The signs of the Coup d etat have been going on since the 5 political US Supreme Court Justices violated the Constitution and appointed George W. Bush as President. Notice how few Americans and even Law Makers know what is in the Constitution. The Founding Fathers put a clause in there just in case this would happen. The Justices know this but few Americans bothered to read it. The next violation was giving Corporations the same power as citizens which we know is wrong with the first 7 words in the Constitution. We the people not we the Corporations. The current law makers are puppets of the corporations/banks as that’s who put them in office. We’ll see many try to shut down the Government knowing we owe China and the stuff will hit the fan. Corporations did well using the Tea Party protesters as a front. With the help of the Media and Press the scam worked. We will no have to fight for our country from the enemy within and there are both Democrats and Republicans who work for the Corporations not the American people. I’m 72 and I’ll just watch because I already did my fightin for rights during the Civil Rights Movement and my Dad, husband and sons all were Military soldiers for our country I have given enough I’m tired now.

Ohh this story must be the ultimate wet dream for the America haters out there. Be careful of what you wish for, we all know how great the world became after the fall of Rome.

Here’s hoping.

and this is supposed to be news? Exclusive?
All empires fall, sooner or later.
Do you know of any empire that existed 1 hundred years ago?

The only America Haters are the baggers. they loathe America, the Constitution, Freedom, diversity, charity …. anything that doesn’t fit into their world of bigotry.

And Rome became corrupt which is why she fell. It is the reason why America will fall and it can be laid at the feet of conservatism. And when she does fail, the world will rejoice and rightly so.

That was centuries ago! The USA did not have counter intelligence like the FBI, it did not have a CIA with urban warfare units trained to get away with murder, and it did not have blackwater mercenaries working for the banks waiting in the wings to assassinate anyone who threatens the empire.

It’s not a matter of being able to conceive it. Anybody can pull a trigger and kill, it’s as natural as breathing air. What isn’t so easy is to be an efficient skillful assassin. There are some highly trained experienced assassins in Mexico who know how to get away with murder and then you have dumbass teenage hackers on the internet who think they are anonymous.

If the feds wanted to they could have anyone killed and it would look like natural causes. Did you forget Obama has the power to assassinate American citizens? Did you forget that the CIA can kill and not even tell Obama? Did you forget that the FBI has killed in the past? Did you forget that blackwater mercenaries who have killed hundreds of people in different countries could come here with fake identities, false passports, and professionally begin killing folks and get away with it because they don’t exist to the government?

You are so naive that you think they don’t know you are typing what you are typing on your computer, and you think they can’t take you out whenever they feel like it. Alternatively you don’t have any mercenaries with the skill level to take even your next door neighbor out, so what revolution are you supposed to lead?

Please understand that with one order drones could drop a bomb on you and all the subversives on the list. Or if they want it to be quiet then the nano weapons or biological viruses could be put into your food which you probably buy from a supermarket or restaurant. You don’t even have your own water supply LOL.

Could you please look at the ideas at http://www.foundationcanada.ca, and consider them as a means to deal with the political dimension of this problem. Thanks, Carl Joudrie

You are absolutely correct to blame the criminal elite and their government. They formally announced their police state self-protection system on September 11, 2001 and formalized it with the Patriot Act. However, the people by their ignorance, laziness, inaction and unjustifiable and dogmatic belief in the “goodness” and truthfulness of the government and CIA/MSM have allowed the new empire to prosper and expand. All are to blame, some much more than others. A free society can’t long survive an unskeptical, unread and intellectually incurious citizenry. So, by indirection we will get what we deserve.

If you accept that the dollar is based fundamentally on the good faith of the American people then its international decline is much more troubling than just market driven chit chat. It means that we are politically marooned, isolated by the aggression, fraud and murder that our government and the international banks are projecting. This will require much more than money and lending tricks to cure; it will require a fundamental change in our government’s philosophy. The same ‘ugly American’ hubris can no longer work when an outfit like the Taliban has defeated our military.

The American Haters are those that have been bulldozed by many of our Policies, most of which have been carried out by Internationalists who are not satisfied with their piece of the American Dream, they need to go offshore for labor and to harbor their Headquarters and Bank Accounts from our laws !! Also our Colonial behavior toward the Middle East and Africa, mimics our good friend and model across the pond..which was also an Empire. I am proud to be an American ( some of our history is shameful, but in a diverse culture we managed some progress, we are still lacking a lot more ) but as a American all my life it is not my fellow Americans that are steering the Titanic..it is the Political/ Corporate criminals and their self satisfied Lackeys in 99.9 percent of the News Media.

It’s not a fair fight against China. For one thing they don’t fight the kind of fights we do. They don’t create wars and revolutions as we do but simply beat the crap out of us in trade. They don’t bomb the crap out if the third world and establish dictators to give away their countries wealth as we do ; they build railway, roads, schools and act as real partners with their trading partners.

Stll we might have won the battle if the banks, the share holders and CEO’s hadn’t scewed us, hadn’t allowed our manufacturing to rot on the vine in order to make their billions.

How unfair.

Hedges, at least in this interview, isn’t even dealing with a problem that may be bigger than all of them: Peak Oil and its consequences. (See Michael Ruppert’s “Collapse.”) The fact that no one in public office is dealing with this or any of the issues exposed by Hedges is an ugly comment on our current political system– one that now serves the corporatocracy at the expense of the common citizen.

Instead, Acorn is demonized and punished for being the object of a lie, and WikiLeaks is being attacked for showing that the US’ control of information isn’t leak proof. A whistleblower is locked in solitary confinement, Assange is being harrassed for running WikiLeaks under the lie that his sexual behavior should be scrutinized, and study after study shows that the dominant voice in mass media information, Fox News, actively and intentionally misinforms its viewers for the benefit of Corporate America.

So, we are faced with two dominant possibilities: that our current political system is transformed into one that treats the common citizen respectfully, that the billions in the political system be shut out of the electoral process, and the the US develop an economy based upon localized distribution of wealth and resources (a repudiation of the “Global Economy”). This would require a political activism at all levels to save our quality of life.

The other option is for the current political system to play itself out, and to watch in horror as our long-held systems of economics, job creation, manufacturing, agriculture, law enforcement, and infrastructure collapse before our eyes.

We can already see that our long-held value that we live by the Rule of Law is already in a state of disintegration. The biggest crimes in the 21st century, from the 9/11 Inside Job, to Iraq invasion, to the torture and war crimes, to the financial collapse by the big banks, have not been addressed by the US Department of Justice. Hundreds of criminals have not been arrested and the thieves of billions and billions of dollars have not been investigated. And the common citizen who only has to have the ability to read knows that it’s all true. We know that our society is two-tiered. The wealthy and the corporations are untouchable. The rest of us are penalized for not having enough money to buy ourselves freedom if we commit a crime.

That’s what it’s become. That’s what the Democrats (Republicans should be called the Anti-Constitution Party, because that’s what they are.) have insured for all of us, from Pelosi’s “impeachment is not on the table” announcement, to Obama’s “we’re looking forward; investigating for war crimes would open old wounds” nonsense. And now, of course, Obama has to regurgitate the GOP lie that raising any taxes (which is a lie. He’d only be restoring previous permanent tax rates) during a recession would inhibit economic growth.

So, we’ll likely be taking the reactive, second option and watch our country and our society slowly but inevitably collapse before our eyes. We’ll see the police state become stronger, we’ll see poverty blossom, and we’ll see massive human suffering like we’ve never seen before.

Why? Because all we are is a species of organisms set against a changing environment to which we cannot effectively adapt. Like 99% of all of the organisms EVER to have existed on this planet, we, too, are slated for extinction if we cannot effectively use our ability to adapt and change. Who knows? We may simply not have it in our DNA to make the changes necessary to survive in an environment that WE caused to change so rapidly.

In any event, I’ll be looking forward to reading more of Hedges. It’s still possible that his warnings, and the warnings of others, will be heard by those who need to hear it.

you clearly are the one that doesn’t get it! You live in opposite world! McConnel, Boner and Bachmann are destroying America!

change we can believe in….right. no president today can be anything but a corporate marionette

As hyperbolic as it may sound, we’re quickly headed for a society built on slaves and slaveowners, however that appearance may be glossed over or concealed. Our politicians have sold us out to the Corporatocracy in exchange for campaign contributions, allowing the donors to write legislation that increasingly kettles the lower classes and makes them helpless. The only way to stop this free fall is to destroy our existing system, which would be, for the greater part, suicidal, given our current dependance on non-local resources and the softening and ignorance that has been induced in the general population. It appears that we’re fucked (as a country) no matter what we do, though small, isolated pockets of the countryside may thrive. Invest in canned food and shotguns, as hard times are coming.

A MIC puppet.

Raw don’t play this too. We are at the Rubicon now. This isn’t the fall of Empire it’s the start.

Cesar now stands on the banks of the Rubicon. Now, looking across at Rome in all it’s stench.

Until now the legions had not been allowed beyond this point. Oh sure he’s a good man. But he knows the Senate has rotted. And he has had to kill good men to cross this far.

What will he do. Destroy the constitution that forged the Republic. March the Legions into the city? No, people forget the triumvirate.

It wasn’t just One man who crossed that river, and it’s one that no longer exists.

After the fall, there was a 1000 years of darkness and regression. So my point was that if the US “empire” falls, the world will NOT be better off.

Yeah see, can’t write the monkey off yet I tell you.

It is troubling, even more so when no one else gets it. Are you sure you are a monkey?

Fundamental flaw in all these systems is “If you accept that the dollar is based fundamentally on the good faith”… cause we don’t work on good faith we work on buyer be ware I will shoot you if I can.

Wars of ideas… you’re so sly.

These little monkeys, they stayed out of most of the fights reading bark and shit, your gotta keep your eyes on them.

Psst I think you little monkeys might be the ones evolving, but don’t tell the Apes I said that, they are convinced it’s them and they like to break things.

Nice try with the logical solutions pal. But no, endless war will be the plan.

a general strike w/b much better, but that takes strong unions in agreement. A way through IT is available, but the will isn’t there. Our unions are weak thanks to Reagan’s dumping of the control tower union and time’s passage on others. Union leaders here know how weak they are and never talk about strikes (to cushy?).

Oh oh I think I saw world government. I put my blinders on and deny we have to actually all come together if we want a solution that’s not based on mass murder. Horde my gold and make more bombs. “I read enough”.

The stunning size and scope of the wealth transfer from the middle class to the uber class (and then much of it to offshore somewhere…) is only slowly starting to dawn on only some of the people, but just as the malfeasance which led us into an unnecessary war in Iraq has largely gone ignored by the mainstream media (and thus the public), this parallel empire-killing crime will go unreported and unpunished and finally erased from history altogether unless we find a way to propel it into the public eye. It’s time for liberals to shed politeness and patience and ring the alarm like Paul Revere; we are truly at a wake-up-fast-or-die moment in history, yet the mainstream media is afraid to direct attention towards stories which make money nervous — every such small act of cowardice and subservience now is highly-leveraged towards the doom of this struggling, senescent giant. Rise up. Get in people’s faces. Write editors. Give to liberal causes — especially the ones who focus on getting the truth out.

hehe people confuse fall of republic with fall of empire because it’s more profitable.

Empire is what happened when Rome spent all it’s good will and money and needed blood to wash the shit away. Everyone from everywhere wants American empire now.

And war begins tomorrow. Or next week or whenever the shit is ready.

Like Come the fuck on people. What do you think happens with all those hangers full of planes and bombs when someone is stupid enough to finally say enough is enough this check is no good.

BOOOM what did you say bitch is going to be our response and that’s the day we cross that river. BOOM BOOM BOOM same reason same lie since the day the lady in red died.

Bad math and lies.

haha you fucking myth buster you haha.

hahaha

Shh let them eat cake we poisoned it.

The British Empire collapsed, too, and not with particular violence. We could be the Roman Empire or the British Empire collapsing. I’m thinking we’re more of the Roman variety, given the vitriol of our public discourse.

Probably civil war within 40 years.

Ah the corrupt world? It revels in it’s own vomit. Propaganda you’re as dirty filthy and full of shit as I am. Lying fucking monkey.

And if we don’t have a good law to fuck you we will draft one.

Fucking dolt.

You are both right, how fucking weird.

Obama Notes Progress in Afghanistan as White House Picketed
President Barack Obama says the strategy of the United States and its partners in Afghanistan is making progress in lessening the powers of al Qaeda and the Taliban. It’s a goal he says the US military and coalition forces are achieving. http://www.newslook.com/videos/275668-obama-notes-progress-in-afghanistan-as-white-house-picketed?autoplay=true

If I were in charge of leaking, I would leak a little bit at a time -always anonymously. Too much would cause confusion and could be buried by mainstream media, disinformation sources, & the usual suspects. Dripping also would allow the wide-spread dissemination of each piece and eventually, going global, would result in greater press coverage and awareness. Note that UK, US, Germany, etc were all given information at the same time. –competition!!! That insures the information will get out.

I would also be very careful to drip information from widespread areas of the globe and keep the outlets so random to slow the tracking of the information back to the source. If this is indeed true, if someone or a group can pull off this precise operation and get the information into the public awareness, it speaks volumes to the integrity of the mission.

We had a figurative house already drop on our head with the real estate bubble, sham loans made to the impressionable. We were lead in Iraq under false pretense which was masquarading as “intelligence”. Pressed into a “hurry up and do it” vote on the first failout (bailout). And now a “hurry up and do it” made tax cuts for the rich thank God for trickle up. This is turning into a slow motion disaster movie, except it’s reality. Hate to be this negative, but there are so many things not adding up right now. It defies rational judgement. The mainstream media and MOST (but not all) it’s associates are tools. Look outside of the US for the truth. We’re just not getting it here because no one wants to lose their sponsors. Support PBS. They’ll take that down (or try to) just like George Bush attempted to do.

I think they have no clue what a hole they are digging themselves into. People will only be able to take so much.

They have also preserved the truth forever. While masters sword was held to their back.

It’s not just the magic of the understand, capturing and mastery of light and the way it penetrates and bounces inside the skin that made those old painters sculpters masters.

They are masters because they slipped the truth into the work while Papal eyes watched.

We don’t teach that to business students.

In some cases it was a generation of stupid priests who had to look at it before they decided to higher less skilled artists to cover up the truths painted… hehehe

It’s a scam we fooled them. They pay us to spread their lies and in them we hide the truth. They screwed us so we screwed them… Just we hoped for more humans by now.

All roads lead to nowhere Alaska.

Class war isn’t what he’s talking about.

Stop.

Drop.

Roll.

Repeat.

The first modern state propaganda machine that I would consider the archetype for today-o-rama is Germany of France Pre-WW2. The guys who built it would agree.

It worked really good because by the onset of war no one in France trusted any one in France. And most of them didn’t trust anyone outside France either. Pretty flawless actually. Pretty well documented too.

Rinse and repeat.

Hi TBM, geez, you’re certainly a blunt, insulting guy. Maybe you can disagree with a little more tact?

“Fight” doesn’t mean duke it out with the fuzz, a guaranteed failure method; it means, as in the 60s, being part of huge crowds that by volume make a statement. It has to be done over and over in major cities to get media coverage and make an impact.
Having many leaders and a big unit involved like moveon.org, among others, assures notice.

It obviously is best to keep anarchists out and away from honest, permitted protests. We’d work with the fuzz to a point. Many lawyers would volunteer services. It all takes careful planning; all of it it has been done before. You might enjoy reading about the 60s and what that era accomplished.

Sure the FBI and other fuzz freaks would circulate around, take pics, etc. But permitted, non-violent protests are all we have to call attention to our state of affairs. Local fuzz would not stop events unless the friggin’ anarchists showed up, which w/b discussed with the fuzz. Leaders of our legit protests would try to work with the anarchists, e.g., separate the protests, agree on tactics, discuss purpose. This also happened in the 60s.

I assure you the wonderful protest this AM at the White House was pre-arranged with the authorities. It was perfect; no violence, no protesters beaten senseless. No counter-protesters. And the media was there.

The key is being locally organized (no national “conspiracy’) and doing it legally. There is nothing else that could possibly work. People simply have to commit to this form of positioning. It’s a little heady for some, but throughout history people have stood up for good over evil.

Many Americans are lazy and spoiled and don’t care about anyone or anything beyond their own tiny world. If they’re allowed to rule this country then, indeed, we’re done as a fair society.

Bottom line: there’s no way to face down or beat today’s law enforcement cadres. But cooperating with them can work. Cops are people, too, and experience great fear facing a large crowd. Legal marches and demos can work if people will just get off their butts and these blogs.

Truth!!! What part of fuck truth do you expect dickwad to change his position on?

OK, here is where reading comes in again.

The entry is

Mostly harmless.

Don’t forget your towel.

By now, the Trickle Up economics of this country are clear even to my conservative family. I think this latest spate of news, from banks getting rich, Wall Street with record profits, Republicans only concerned about the wealthy, and Obama caving in to them….all of this is finally sinking in. Even conservatives know this is reckless behavior.

I hold onto the hope that we will pull this off…bring power back from the corporations to the people…after all, as Michael Moore showed in Capitalism…the idea of Democracy is in our Constitution…Capitalism is not written there once.

No one is figuring anything out. I am sorry about all the Bacon.

Amazing how knowing some guy who actually moves the shit liars talk about moving clears all that up so easy isn’t it.

can you stop hawking your one-world government link? thanks.

Just eat gold, cut out the middle man.

Haha, fucking truth is a bitch. That’s right. When your baby is in the house hiding behind your wife while the city burns and the zombies are coming. There scream will turn you into a killing monster.

The beast within aint to far below even if you never met him. That’s right and no one with a brain thinks this ends easy with all those bombs and missiles bought and paid for.

I disagree with this assessment for one reason…Corporations cannot govern. Mega-Corporations today have grown to rely on huge government handouts to them, as small businesses cannot compete with the likes of GE and Boeing to get some of that multi-trillion dollar defense budget. If the government goes bankrupt, the easy money won’t be there anymore, and I suspect many large corporations will go belly up. As net recipients of tax money, large corporations will have to restructure their business models if government stops handing out money…and actually makes them pay their taxes rather than hide it in offshore “ventures” (even Google is guilty of this, unfortunately)

Even if not directly taking tax dollars, companies like Wal-Mart have grown dependent on taxpayer subsidized industries, like cheap (subsidized) oil to transport their junk from China, and cheap junk food made with subsidized corn syrup.

The companies that can live without major spending in Washington are the small businesses who don’t have the connections to get their hands on taxpayer’s money.

I do think the American Empire is in decline, but I actually think, as long as we can keep an open society and we have more people like Julian Assange telling the truth…we can emerge as a stronger and more just nation.

We are not the Soviet Union, and we don’t have a physical wall to break down…we only have a figurative wall built around the truth…

I decided to have more than 2 kids after I’d already earned two environmental degrees, so I think I understand those issues well enough. What doesn’t make sense to me is your apparent idea that a good person born with (older?) siblings is of less value than one without.

“There’s a reason that as education rises the number of children a woman has declines.”

Yes, and as I recall from my “Population Problems” class some 20 years ago, it’s chiefly because pursuing education and careers leaves much less time for parenting, which become postponed, reducing the number of years a woman might get pregnant. If education is influenced by intelligence, and intelligence is to some degree passed on in families (i.e. by heredity or instruction), then we as a species are gradually losing our intelligence by sacrificing parenting for education. It’s out of balance. More specifically, intelligence will become concentrated in the same way wealth is concentrated today.

There is more than one way to skin a cat, fight a war or murder a population.

Oh and don’t for a second think the sickest thing the sickest dude on the planet ever thought out hasn’t had someone draw up a plan and add up the budget for execution by now.

If you can imagine it, someone else can imagine it and get a boner.

Dude, garbled post. Not sure whether you are serious or being facetious. What is it?

We still have us.

Those “social welfare programs” keep a few million from banging in your door at night to kill you and raid your fridge. Unless you live underground somewhere, you DO benefit from a society that uses social programs to prevent mass abject poverty and starvation. You also seem to ignore Homeland Security beefing up their police state efforts. You WILL NOT be able to do “anything you wanted”, instead the US is being made into a corporate plantation, and you will be forced to do or not do what is most profitable to your new feudal overlords. Don’t believe me? Go ask the folks in the Gulf how the oil spill (still being secretly sprayed) is going, or better yet, go try and get a water sample yourself and see what Homeland Security says about it..

Well Im guessing the democracy experiment is over. We need to all mourn our soon to be lost freedoms. I for one will die a free man, Im afraid I shall never see old age.

When a country obtains great power,
it becomes like the sea:
all streams run downward into it.
The more powerful it grows,
the greater the need for humility.
Humility means trusting the Tao,
thus never needing to be defensive.

A great nation is like a great man:
When he makes a mistake, he realizes it.
Having realized it, he admits it.
Having admitted it, he corrects it.
He considers those who point out his faults
as his most benevolent teachers.
He thinks of his enemy
as the shadow that he himself casts.

If a nation is centered in the Tao,
if it nourishes its own people
and doesn’t meddle in the affairs of others,
it will be a light to all nations in the world.

–Lao Tzu

The light has been snuffed out in America.

Haha, true. By what kind of idiot would let all of that rot, yet keep billions of miles unused rail lines intact. And build airports and roads everywhere? It’s crazy, until you look at it from the air.

It’s what killed the Russians in WW1. We learned. We’ve always learned. It’s not that it’s stupidity. It’s something else entirely. Written on every cap and every corner stone every laid in this nation by it’s money.

Logistical supply lines for an army. Who cares about the masses, we gonna be moving soldiers asses.

Because that’s not the real score card, cause it was never the real plan

Yeah we (America) are screwed but so are the rest of the western nations. Only difference is that we still have a large Christian base. So while we will collapse, we will come back and still be a sovereign nation. Rest of the world, not so much.

Go ahead and blame on the wars, blame it on our greedy corporations, blame it on oil, blame it on Bush. But it is none of those that is causing a collapse of the west. It is the acceptance of progressive policies, large government, and the idea that the rich should pay for everyone that is causing our collapse.

The American people are still one of a kind. We may fall but you can’t stop us. The rest of the west is filled with just a bunch of jealous chumps. Get over it, we don’t owe you ****!

“I’m saying the lower and middle class in America are powerless. I’m saying in specific the urban American lower class are the most powerles”

dead wrong. Asymmetrical resistance is most likely to come from exactly those two groups, and most likely to be successful if they actually do it. Unorganized mass resistance across major urban centers will force either a heavy handed violent crackdown by the government (which will also militarize the resistance, the ones you call “powerless”), or a breakdown of the forces of the prompted the resistance.

The Universe is indifferent-Don Draper…..a character in Madmen

The World will continue as long as it keeps rotating. Yes 1,000 years of darkness is terrible, the trashing of Art the ascendancy of warped religious control ( crusades, witch burnings, and the stifling of science, and control of all education ) but this seems to be the evolution of human society…it builds towards superiority and at the end becomes so enamored of it’s corruption that it over reaches and comes apart at the seams. Some things are learned, but perfection is unattainable and when we think that we are the center of the universe we play our losing hand of the game.

Probably to November 22, 1963.

Your assessment may be correct. The USA is not comparable to the Soviet Union; the USSR was a hollow shell populated by a lost and broken people.

Likewise, comparisons to the Roman Empire are not particularly accurate. The Germans who invaded the Western Empire established a number of kingdoms that maintained the Roman laws and economies. Many of the Germanic rulers adopted the ways and means of the Romans, and life went on, though without the glory. The Dark Ages did not set in till after the trade routes with the East were eliminated by the Islamic invasions of the Middle East and North Africa. Western Europe, isolated, began to crumble and fall into that centuries long darkness.

In 1984 a plastic movie actor named ronnie was playing president. Orwell was not too far off.

But would the world have been better off if Rome had managed to hang onto its empire? It would have had to be even more brutal and militaristic, and everybody called “citizen” could have been drafted to work in the fields just to eat. Maybe what we should be talking about, is not how to avoid the fall but how to shorten the coming interregnum.

….

:) I don’t own guns or keep them. I prefer to sell them to people who will kill for me.

It’s a good gig. I like to call it the global economy.

Exactly. That was the most bizarre, left-field rant I’ve read in a while. The street gangs and mafia would be the ones to SUPPLY the guns to those poor urban and middle class people in a mass civil uprising. They definitely wouldn’t be the leaders of it. I guess thatbostonman thinks they – gangs that engage in criminal acts for personal profit – would duke it out with Homeland Security on principle. Yea right. Those guys will be the first to either become suppliers in a revolution, to profit from it, or take a payout from the oppressive government and become warlords over a designated area, and profit from it.

the depth of your inability to comprehend what is taking place is astonishing. go with what you know. Don’t worry be happy. Your type will be the first to take to the streets and fight the enemy that the media points you towards. Traveled much in your life Davey? Maybe all our money is under a mattress somewhere and when it is found everything will be just wonderful again. do you really use the word Yarn in your daily dialog,,,,

In the excellent book Democracy and Capitalism by Bowles and Gintis they make the point that Democracy and capitalism are not compatible. It’s a great read, although very dry and written more like a text book. Still, worth reading.

We MUST have an independent investigation into what happened on that day….in order to save our Country.

Any idiot who knows just slightly more than what they were told by the Government and their Media lapdogs about that day, starts to quickly understand that exposing that fraud is our only hope to stop this new hellish world from proceeding any further.

It’s time for the whole world to stand up and help Americans save our freedom and constitution.

And by the way, CORPORATIONS ARE NOT PEOPLE……..AND DO NOT HAVE THE SAME RIGHTS…….like the corporate owned / controlled U. S. Supreme Court crazily tries to tell us.

I’m guessing they find that out pretty quick. Along with learning what they must and must not do.

These so-called religious Christians have become worst then the people they try to condemn.
Most do not have the slightest clue what they are talking about and what the bible or the teaching of Jesus says or is all about.
The religious RICH fanatical leaders which have cropped up all over ,, have them brainwashed so bad they are unable to function or think or their own.
Most of these right wing religious leaders have make millions if not billions by suckering these chimps into their flock of sheep

Death squads are nothing new. They’ve also been around longer than a century. Who’s more likely to get taken out: that italian mafia member who the FBI probably already has a long file on who’s decided to become a revolutionary,or some middle or lower class “subversive” who is part of a few hundred thousand in the same city or a few million across the country. The fear of the CIA’s killing prowess isn’t going to matter much to people that are destitute and angry, especially when they seem themselves as part of a larger movement.

The defeatists are usually the first to jump out the window.

…bro, just curious, do you believe in evolution?

Tear it down, so it can be built back up. Stop tolerating all the fakes, the zealots, the hateful, the misinformers.

And thats exactly why the government is killing them and locking them up in prison. They know that too and thats why these laws are stacked. Thats why they are spending so much money.

The violent crack down has been happening non stop from the 1960s all the way to the present which is why you have so many prisoners and so many young people dying.

The so “resistance” militarized in the 1970s and 1980s when they formed gangs. They armed themselves with uzi’s and machine guns, and the government cracked down on gangs and gun violence as a result further creating tensions.

At this point all the resisters have been put in prison or are dead, at least the urban resisters. The only ones left are the loudmouths in the “safe” suburbs who were complaining about gang violence in the 80s and 90s, who sat back when the LA riots happened, who advocate for gun control in 2000, and who now claim to be anti war Julian Assange supporters.

These types of people are whats left of the resistance subversive movement and they are truly powerless. I’m not saying street gangs were the most organized resistance, but that was the attempt at resistance. Those gang members like MS13, the Bikers, the Skinheads, the bloods and crips, including drug kingpins. These are the ones who resisted and all that happened is the FBI cracked down on them while liberals turned informants against them helping to lock them up, snitching on them, etc.

So now theres the “stop snitching” movement and liberals are again speaking out saying it’s okay to snitch and it’s okay to be an informant. So which is it? Do you want to advocate informing and support informants or do you want to be a gangster subversive in which case you wont be informing, you’ll be doing the dirty work.

If you think you can just sit back and talk about it and win respect you are wrong. That being said I’m not advocating any revolutionary action, I’m just saying talk is cheap. If you want a revolution then you have to accept that you are the “terrorist” that the government was talking about with the war on “terror”.

You have to understand that the government has already pre-emptively declared war on you and has already started locking up and killing your kind. If you choose not to surrender and choose to fight then you have to understand that all those satellites in space, all those drones, all the troops in the military, CIA, NSA, FBi, all kinds of Patriotic vigilante groups, including rival gangs, mafias, and mercenaries will be hunting you down.

In war you wont know who is with the government and who is with the revolution, Your best friend could be the assassin paid by the government to kill you. Your family members could be informing on you. They could be drugging and poisoning you. If you want to live that sort of life go ahead but I certainly don’t want to live the life of a terrorist if I have a choice.

I very much hope you’re right. It could go either way, but without some kind of *big* awakening and pushback from the people, the forces of power, greed and wealth have this game pretty much sewn up. In the interest of simple messages (harder to come by for liberal causes than for the more simple, greed/fear/hate/tribalistic types), I can heartily recommend, “Corporations are not People/Money is not Speech” — might even make a few teabaggers stop and think.

…right on bro, you have it nailed here.

The interesting thing about Rome is that, even to this day, many of the most powerful nations in the world speak dialects of Latin. This means that, even though they fell from power, no other power has been able to supplant the language, and much of our government today is based on ancient Rome (the US even has a ‘Senate’).

What does it mean if the American Empire falls? Will we stop using the internet, or eating cheeseburgers, or worshiping Michael Jackson? I don’t think so. Countries may decide to keep other money in their vaults, but in reality, the collapse of the American Empire will likely have a positive effect on us. We may be able to pay our own bills, and even invest in our own infrastructure!

This isn’t the 1800s, or 1700s. They didn’t have satellites back then. They didn’t even have a spy agency back then. Back then there wasn’t gun control, anybody could get a gun and back then governments didn’t have the power advantage they have now.

Does your resistance army have a satellite in space? Do you have any way to knock the satellites out of orbit? If you don’t then you can’t even launch an attack because the US government can see your movements from space and vigilantes and assassins can watch your house from Google earth. To think you can walk out of your suburban home and bring your pitchforks/guns to the whitehouse and call it a revolution, are you RETARDED?! Are you ALL THAT GODDAMN RETARDED?

But is it that Capitalism can’t coexist with Democracy, or just our version of it?

The point is you and your resistance do not have a death squad or intelligence agency. So you don’t even have the ability to determine who the mercenaries and assassins on the governments side are.

But of course the government knows who you are because you registered for ID and all that. They know where you live. They know what you look like. They know every goddamn thing about you so you have no chance to resist.

Face it, you can’t resist. You can have fantasies about it, you can think about it, but you know it’s not a realistic possibility. Thats why you went to college instead of become a gang banger.

I know real life. The pitchfork revolutionaries are the ones who watch too many movies.

If you think you are going to buy your registered gun and then go to launch your attack and that you wont be stopped, you are out of you goddamn mind. In fact you are as stupid as school shooters and Al Qaeda.

It didn’t work in the 60s and it wont work now. If you want to waste your life on being an activist go ahead.

If you want to start being effective start by forming a PAC, and by forming legally defined family associations. There you go I just gave you the single most effective means of protesting. You’re welcome.

There is no United States. Corporations (thanks in part to Citizens United) own all of us outright. We have over 300 foreign bases, no universal healthcare, we can’t protect our own borders and give tax cuts to the rich. We have one of the worst educational systems compared to other advanced countries and the GOP wants no Estate taxes on the uber wealthy. If given half a chance the GOP House will destroy what is left of Social Security and we will be stupid enough to believe it is good for us. We get what we deserve.

No, please do not tear it down. That is chaos. The need is to fix what already exists; we the people need to become an informed and active citizenry. Yes, the fakes, zealots, the hateful, and agents of misinformation need to be exposed of their corporate sponsorship. It is not about liberal or conservative; it is about democracy.

Nimrod tried to create a one world government, it didn’t work, God wasn’t pleased and scattered them and caused them to speak in different languages.

Humans are full of murderous lies and bullshit. Always have been. But lights of wisdom can come from anywhere… from the teachings of the Natives to the words of the Founding Fathers to the French and Greek philosophers. Some of us actually do as Bruce Lee suggested. “Absorb what is useful, discard the rest.”

I think that once more and more people can no longer afford their “bread and circuses,” (cable TV in particular) there might be BIG push back. If you can’t distract them 24/7, they might have a chance to look around and see the real world for a change.

Revelation talks about Babylon the Great its the world empire of false religion, it has been judged by God and will be destroyed. 2nd Thess. talks about the man of lawlessness, this is apostate Christianity, the most disgusting facet of Babylon. Very shorlty we will see this happen, the UN will take this in hand, our civil liberties will be a thing of the past.

It was discussed on NPR today that the MEDIAN income of US House members is: $986,000 per year. And a US Senator’s MEDIAN income is $2.5 million. These theives are representing their own interests and that of their corporate handlers.

Chris Hedges is exactly on target.

It’s true haha, well sort of. Them old dudes knew what I know. Long before that other ancient societies in Africa and Meso-America and The Indian Subcontinent did all the same things.

And at least in india we still have a few of the old ANCIENT STORIES written on IRON TABLETS, not translations from liars who long since died.

Oh stories so old some of the dudes actually still did kinda look like MONKEYS. Written in the OLDEST WRITTEN LANGUAGE KNOW BY MAN called Sanskrit.

And they told tales of hundereds of great empires who all did the same shit old NIMROD the fucking SATURN WORSHIPER.

And you all lied and ISLAM WAS THE PROTEST. BUT THEY LIED TOO.

Yes I read that book. I said I have lots of friends who are Jews. I assumed YOU would assume since I consider them friends they are not also LIARS.

READ YOUR BOOK TOO LOCKED IN A VAULT ASSHOLE WANNA READ IT AGAIN?

Stuff your religion please.

It cannot coexist with democracy without very strict controls. When left to its own devices it seeks to destroy competition and undermine democracy. It will destroy itself unless tightly regulated. This was the lesson of the depressions of the 1890′s, 1913, 1928, the reagan depression and todays disaster.

You tell em Saje Williams. Sumdumwhiteboy needs to expand his horizons, and get out of his recliner, assuming that is possible, read a history book. And please stop bragging about his personal wealth, assuming that is true which it proably is not.

Corporations are governing and making policy and law by proxy…. They own the US Congress who does this for them. Too bad you cannot see that.

No point anyone stating the obvious, we all knew you where human when we saw that shirt.

Aha I knew you wasn’t no Christian. All that hate isn’t Christian, true be told I’m sick of your bullshit. Your a fuckin Roman.

Start by getting rid of the acceptance of gay and lesbian people and the mentally ill transgendered and confused bisexuals. Then give credit to families where women have to stay at home and actually be parents, while the husbands go out and work. That would open up so many jobs! Get rid of this idea that we’re a flat economy. The US is nothing more than a services consuming country and our ability to produce has been stripped. Once our dollar goes to waste, and we can’t import anything anymore because no one will accept our dollars, what are we going to do then? The world hates us right now, and truthfully, I don’t blame them. Obama is a joke.

Homophobic, misogynist troll.

According to the authors capitalism has to do with economic privilege based on property rights vs democracy is all about liberty and democratic accountability based on exercise of personal rights. You can’t really have both at the same time.

Apparently the answer was not obvious or the question would not have been asked.

You are absolutely correct! I am a 50 something woman that bought in to the whole
feminist ideal. The “capable, assertive, employable, do-it-all mom” that now realizes
how unsatisfying that was. Now, with grandkids looking to start kindergarten I’m terrified
for them to be exposed to alternative lifestyles at this tender age. What about innocence?

I hope when the dollar collapses we go back to barter and industrious thought processes
that made this country great. Folks ought to be figuring out what they know and have
talent doing that will be marketable in their neighborhood.

That’s already happening. In a town nearby, 800 people showed up for a job that payed only $8.00 an hour. In the news recently, another town announced a janitorial job that paid $13.00 an hour, 900 people showed up for one opening. It’s getting worse by the day.

That has to be one of the most ignorant posts I’ve ever read, here, or anywhere out there on them thar internets.

You are just a complete f’ng idiot.

A good percentage of the most wealthy people in the US feed ENTIRELY from the government money trough. And they aint no bunch of liberals you moron.

On the contrary, I love women and there’s certainly nothing more beautiful to look at. Lesbian’s on the other hand disgust me. Gay men disgust me. Being gay is a choice, not something your born with like your skin color or even ethnic background. The fact remains that the world is laughing at America. The day Gay people can serve in the military will be the end of integrity, honor and patriotism. Hitler and Stalin had the right idea, just the wrong people. What we need is a modern day leader that ends the stupidity and gets American back on track.

I dispise the fact that one’s sexuality is a basis for equal protection under the law. And you are absolutely correct. Kids should not be exposed to this adult behavior that we seem to be promoting as acceptable. What kind of life will our kids have? What will the generations in the future know what is acceptable and what’s not? Morals are disappearing and today’s society seems to be prompting it. I would love to go back to the days when gay people had to stay in the closet. America was a much better place.

Don’t believe everything you read sucker.

Derrick….it already said its name is Jim Bob. Why are you even responding to it?

“Being gay is a choice”…you think so?…how old were you when you decided to be whatever you are?…I’m sure everyone is dying to know…gay people have been serving in the military since the military has existed…you have to be a troll…no one could be that ignorant…maybe i’m wrong…

Don’t write everything you believe.

While people like you are sitting around spewing bible quotes waiting for god to come down and fix all the world’s problems, you do nothing and use that as some excuse for your laziness. Neither bible quotes nor jesus are protesting like the author against the wrongs of the world, nor are they finding unemployed jobs, fixing our corrupt government, or doing anything beneficial outside of what a newly released romantic comedy can do.

Maybe do something like, I don’t know, read a book that has some educational value that applies to current situations. Or you can reread the same old thing the umpteenth time, spout some more meaningless rabble, and fill your face with Monsanto produced McDonalds on your way to ‘Bank of America Center’ in the good ol’ United States of Wal Mart. Been doing a great job of that so far.

For the middle class and seniors this government and country has already collapsed in our faces.

I don’t believe in anything. I know it’s hard for an underfed, under-educated monkey who has only seen the world through a piece of glass to understand. You should read more. Just don’t drink the milk.

Bingo!

I reckon im just a flash in the pan to you Mr. flagg I will know who my enemy is when the time comes and believe me the South will rise again!

Yes, it’s a choice… period. End of discussion.

John,

Don’t let the name fool you, sir. I actually know what those words mean and didn’t have to look them up like you probably did. Simple minded old man.

Close all the US bases all over the world. Bring all those troops home, slash the pentagrams budget and use that money for the civilian population. We don’t need no stinking empire.

The country is surely in trouble when bigots like those commenting here feel such license to blame gay people for what the political criminal enterprises are accomplishing. All Americans should be fearful but turning to hateful bully mob mentality is only going to hasten the collapse.

Ignorant people confuse the horrible decay in American morality, pumped and fed by our media, with gay orientation and basic fundamental human rights and dignity. Hate and fear are causing weak minded folks to think the two issues are the same. It’s unfortunate.

[...] Exclusive: US empire could collapse at any time, Pulitzer winner tells Raw Story [...]

I agree, don’t tear it down because you will never live to see it rebuilt, and neither will anyone else. What we need to do is more precise, and that’s what is difficult with a moving target as big as the Corporatocracy we’re dealing with.

People like Julian Assange have it right: cripple the criminals by exposing the channels where the darks deals are made. Make them fear they can be exposed at any time. Use their secrecy against them.

Meanwhile, we should be grooming Progressive leaders at all levels.

Spoken like a true closeted, self loathing, gay dude …. Time to open your letter pal.

I don’t know if you follow Hedges work much, but rest assured: when he talks about America becoming a “moral swamp,” he’s referring to bigots like you, not to the gays.

Shouldn’t you be writing to your congressman about Obama’s birth certificate or something?

[...] It’s not unreasonable to worry that corporate and government interests are forcing the average person into serfdom. Chris Hedges’ words in a recent interview with The Raw Story exemplify the concern: “We’ve undergone a corporate coup d’état in slow motion… Unless we begin to physically resist, they are going to solidify neo-feudalism in this country.” (Exclusive: US empire could collapse at any time, Pulitzer winner tells Raw Story) [...]

I agree with this. That thought came to my mind on 9/11. I’m the daughter of a civil engineer who tried to get me to be a civil engineer too but that was way back when women weren’t allowed into university programs. As I watched that tower collapse, I thought immediately that it wasn’t because the tower was hit because of the way it pancaked. But I never got to ask my father about that since he passed away before I could. I’m still waiting for that revolution that was heralded back when I was in college in the stone age (late 60′s – early ’70′s).

answer the fucking question…

The stupid part of your argument is that America is and has NEVER passed any law or attempted to give religious powers access to making laws as stated in our Constitution. Oh yeah, you probably carry around a little book with only the amendments in it – not the case law or anything else. What’s even more hysterical is that those of you who do that are just following what unions have been doing for ages: carry around a copy of their contract in a little book so they can check to make sure that the company is in compliance with the contract. All these religious righies are just the same as the labor movement. This is absolutely ironic.

I did work in labor relations for years even negotiating labor agreements which was pretty unusual because it’s not a favorite career for most women. In one of the company’s I worked for, we used to beat the union to printing the contract so that it was on 8 1/2″x11″ paper so it wasn’t so easy for the union members to carry around in their back pockets. I’m not proud of the fact that I did that but I didn’t realize at the time that management in almost all companies were decertifying as many unions as they could.

Mr. Hedges is absolutely correct in his assessment of the situation our nation faces.

But I must add, the Republican Party itself is one huge conservative Death Panel.

Just how long it will take for the Republican “Death Panel” Party to kill America and kill even more American citizens is debatable, but it is obvious that “Death Panel” Republicans have chosen the Death Penalty for America and many American citizens through their right-wing Death Panel policies.

Yeah, I thought the American family was falling apart since so many families are headed by single mothers. What’s the difference between a single mother raising her kids, and a married mother being the only parent who bothers with them since Dad’s at work all day?

Especially if labor laws are gutted and Dad’s paid so little he has to work three jobs?

I don’t care whether this is a sovereign nation. I care whether people’s basic human rights continue to be violated. As they always have, under the aegis of the Stars and Stripes, or any other “Christian nation” flag you care to cite.

Screw it. It can go right ahead and collapse and I don’t care if it never comes back. When the oil runs out the corporate-fascist engine will grind to a stop. Especially if the “green living” idiots quit trying to look for ways to continue propping up the machine. I don’t need “green fuel,” I need the madness to STOP.

You say, “It didn’t work in the 60s…”
My genteel sir, you don’t know what you’re talking about. As I suggested, short of our 1860 civil war, which didn’t change everything PERMANENTLY, it’s the case that many great legislative actions occurred because of 60s protest. You’re entitled to your own views, but not to history. Try reading some history for perspective.

BTW, forming a PAC (as you suggested) is exactly the course of action that gets subsumed by the Establishment, which it appears you’re up to your neck in. Forming “legally defined family associations” will do nothing.

Your commentary is so contrary and stiff-necked that if this was the 60s, I would treat you as a snoop or one of the gov’t. sneaks we on this site wonder about.

You say, “It didn’t work in the 60s…”

Yup, we are all fools, believing that our Government was looking out for out safety and prosperity. We are fools for believing in both political parties, as they both have screwed the taxpayor. We go to war not for freedom and democracy, but to secure the mineral wealth, or strategic wealth of the area or country we are “liberating” Wall street, and the financiers run this country, and determine the direction we head to. The financial crash and housing mortgage crisis was a planned and orchestrated act. There is a fundemantal Marxist philisophy being followed, as much of the control of the US comes from old European Dynasty’s

The reason our border with mexico is wide open is because thats what Obama wants. There is a plan to erase the borders with Mexico and Canada and and create a commom currency.

Those of you that depend on welfare and public assistance are going to suffer bad-as there will be no welfare after the crash. Sportsman and survivalist types, gun owners, and self reliant types, and farmers will survive.. The mass gun and ammo purchases of the last 5 years was an indicator that some saw the crash coming.
Gerald Celente predicted it, and when it hits its going to be real bad.

What about the Obama recovery, remember that last article (FOX makes you stupid) when a bunch of ninnies were arguing with me about how the economy is getting better because Bernanke printed a lot of money for Barry at compound interest? People who think things are getting better are in for a shock on how WRONG you are.

Not all of us were fools, we who support Ron Paul expected all this a LONG time ago.

Its called economics, most liberals (not all) are too busy looking out for social justice, and believing Keynesian Krugman to find out what real economics is, Gerald Celente (who is a REAL conservative like I am BTW) is spot on with everything, more liberals should listen.

A jobless recovery makes a weak imbalanced society. I don’t know of anyone who would say that our economy is getting better in that regard. Both liberals and conservatives see a real possibility of collapse but there reasons behind those fears are politically opposite. Most liberals/progressive feel the need for MORE government intervention while conservatives believe in less.

Globalization has caught up to us. I can’t remember buying anything made in this country besides some food products in recent years. Even apple juice is coming from China rather than Washington State. I agree about the lower rung of classes & seniors posted below – much too much largess over the years – too much entitlement beyond life, liberty happiness. Thanks also to the unions giving a whole new definition to working class. Thanks to the governments at every level mortaging our futures with unsustainable debt. If you ever wonder what it was like to live in post war Eastern Block countries – soon you’ll have a chance. Electing cookie monsters with insatiable appities for my money – can’t do a damn thing right. Amtrak, Post Office and all the other money pits subsidized by government. And, all those liberal minded grads who defaulted on student loans. Yep, feudal times are acomin’. I’m sure the progressives will bask in their achievement. 300 million puppets.

When empires run out of money, they cannot fund their War Machine and then either the troops come home or simply get left abroad as the nation-state crumbles.

The first step was to control the media in order to “dumb-down” the populace which was accomplished by forty years of Republican rule and a complicit Bill Clinton (telecommunications act of ’96). Now people are convinced that unions are bad, a living wage is unreasonable, and it must all be the fault of homosexual Mexican feminists who are taking “our” jobs. The only hope we had was another FDR and instead we got Bill Clinton 2.0

Yep, these are the replies I expected. Its so easy to blame religion and more specifically Christians. Its faith in God that will save this country and the rest of the world. Man will bring nations to destruction… keep looking for your leader to take us into peace and a one world government. He is just around the corner.

Maybe its already too late for America… fine. But we have been the most free and prosperous country of all time because of our Christian founding, not because of the progressive laws passed the last 100 years. The left, liberals and progressives are the primary reason for our demise.

It couldn’t happen fast enough.

The day the US gets overtaken by China in the economy war, followed by India and Brazil, I’ll be the first one breaking out the champagne and doing a celebratory dance.

The US has done nothing but abuse its power for decades. Give someone else a chance to lead. They sure as hell can’t do a worse job (secret CIA assassinations, illegal overthrows of government, illegal invasion of countries and ‘wars’ (Korea, Vietnam, Iran, Afghanistan, Panama and on and on).

China has 1.3 billion people and, other than Tibet (you can’t count their idiot attempt in Vietnam), they have yet to illegally move into a country and overthrow its government. I don’t see them doing it any time soon. The US, on the other hand, if they had the money and manpower they’d be marching on Teheran next week.

And I’m an American who lives outside the US. I transferred all my money out of the country a few years ago when I could see where the dollar was heading.

If Americans who don’t want to live in a feudal society don’t get out WITH their money while they can, they won’t be able to leave as the US dollar will be worthless.

Half of Asia, much of South America, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and most of Europe are places Americans should be heading to. Leave the fucked-up US behind. It’s done.

It always seems like the homophobic and bigots are very ignorant, it goes with the territory.
And your comment really points out how dishonest the arguments on this subject are.

Also when one claims that they love to look at women because they’re beautiful but lesbian women disgusts them, they’re as ignorant as humans get.

Clearly Jim Bob is mentally damaged. Clueless and abusive this one follows the troll mode of doing the destructive drive by, leaving brown skid marks, and stinking up the place … why? Because Jim Bob had a tank full of suppressed infantile anger.

Guys like Jimmy grow up and cannot experience their own shame. They never grow past shaming others and acting superior. Their intellect is badly stunted over generations of neglect and abuse which leaves them vacant and dull unaware of their severe short comings.

Jim Bob needs a scape goat. Someone or a group of people to put down so poor Jimmy can justify the tiny corner of thoughtlessness he presides over and avoid the real truth … which is that he and others like him are the mentally deformed hate filled minds that cannot face the diversity of life and who must at all cost contain it in little bits of fake truths.

Hey Jim Bob … what’s ya doing … are you making skid marks in your drawers again and stinking up the place with your infantile anger? Yes we know who you are … and what sort of family background you come from … years of neglect have dulled your brain and made you obnoxious. We don’t expect you to change. We know you are incapable of that. But by all means spew your hate and do your drive by negative comments. And maybe when your panties are soggy you’ll get up and change them and for just a few moments we won’t have to see you here and that will be nice.

End of the Roman Empire:

1) Adopted Christianity as the official state religion.
2) Began hiring mercenaries to fight their wars.
3) The rich refused to pay their fair share of taxes.

I’d say it’s a choice to be a complete moron and and angry deformed imbecile but that would be wrong. It takes multi-generational abuse and mental damage to produce a thick headed, shameless, amoeba like yourself.

You might even say that the petri dish you’ve been soaking in s a mixture of toxic generational child rearing resulting in the reduction of blood flow to vital parts of the brain and body producing an irreversible petrification of both.

Hahaha, I was about to ask you if you were into scat sex, then I read the hilarious ” Hitler and Stalin had the right idea……” , this confirms my initial suspicion, like your idol Adolph Hitler,
Jim Bob you are a turd burglar, a shit lover, you fancy to have young women (or young men) defecate on your chest while you masturbate……

No…..we need to begin with an independent investigation into 9/11. It is the only way to start the truthful national discussion that is so needed now.

Exactly, Stephen. Most of what big business and the government are doing is fundamentally fraudulent, driven by only by individual greed, with no concern for the common good or the long term.

“RAW STORY IS: CARBON BALANCED; ALL CARBON EMISSIONS ARE OFFSET! ”

Hahahahahahahahahahaha, You guys are fools

Raw Story should be interviewing you.

I forgot to add that Jim Bob is the classic drive by angry attention seeking troll that revels in the negative responses he undoubtedly receives.

When a person is as dull as Jimmy Bobby it becomes necessary to seek out drama in order to define the small impenetrable block of wood that substitutes as a brain … boys like Jimmy have an almost desperate need to feel better than someone so they pick out gays and think if you can call it thinking that it makes them superior.

However if you think about it … acceptance and understanding take way more mental ability and require the strength of flexibility which the hardened petrified excuse for a brain Jim Bob exhibits simply does not have.

Nobody here expects Bob or any of his lovers to ever get a clue … it’s just fun watching him bloat up and roll around.

Talking to yourself again? You know, there are drugs for that?

This sounds like a crock. Referencing the collapse of the Soviet Union for the umpteen-millionth time? WTF for? The Soviets called us imperialists. Unbelievable! Everyone is into this conspiracy theory crap.

We were NEVER officially an empire. The problem is that the English language doesn’t have a verb to use for naming what an empire does. In Latin, it is “imperare,” which in English sort of translates to “prevail” every time.

Afghanistan is already well-known as a Waterloo for anyone. Everyone loses in that place, including Afghanis. It’s like historical herpes. It never goes away–historically. That we are getting our asses kicked there like a pack of Soviet Russkies should no surprise to anyone. The place is too big, mountainous and it just plain sucks major league ass. Afghanis are mountain goats. It could be like the Switzerland of the Middle East, but you must have a very long beard all the time and that gets in the way.

Our operation and the Russkies look alike because, again, the place is too fucking big. Think about it. Vietnam was just long and had….er…too many trees. The Taliban can regain control of the country because they are more like the people who live there. There is obviously no social sophistication in that country that can make a difference. These people love living isolated, in their own mental planet and when someobody complains, they love shooting at them.

As for the corporate coup d’etat, it has been underway since 1776, most likely. It’s not that far from the fully industrialized 1800s. Protestantism has equated wealth with being blessed by the Almighty Bum in the Sky. The rich can fill up the offering plate much faster.

Competing with prison labor in China is never going to happen. It is cheap labor by default and its production is geared toward selling to advanced economies. If we really have to compete with them, then we are them. In that case, we need to find out if our new-found retrograde economy status is permanent real fast.

The ruble and the remnibi as global reserve currencies is a joke. I doubt that China has any desire to be a buyer nation and cease being a seller. Because that, the fact that we buy a lot, is one of the reasons that the US dollar is the major global reserve currency. World nations use it to trade with us and among each other. In other words, the dollars they hold will be bought in the banking system to clear trade transactions with the US quoted in dollars. If China and Russia abandon the dollar, which is not what is happening, the two nations are simply diversifying their currency portfolio like they are supposed, it wouldn’t really matter if the reason is the hypothetical collapse of the US empire.

This guy is just trying to cash in on the hysteria buiding up over the collapse of something we were never meant to be–an empire.

Go back in line old bag ,you’re a trailer park white Negro piece of trash who makes 6 bucks an hour, cleaning the latrines at Wall mart. Nobody gives a shit about your feeling of insecurity.
Lol, You speak like a prison bitch, do you miss the food? :)

Where should we go? Better yet, did you see entire Third World Countries become depopulated? No. Don’t expect that to happen here either. We were never this so-called empire. Whoever thought that was the goal should talk to a neurologist about having that dead worm removed out of their skull.

Come on set your brainwashing aside for a minute and look at this logically. How can the dollar collapse? It’s value is relative to other currencies, and if you traveled overseas, which you obviously don’t, you would know that in most countries outside of the Euro region goods and services are priced in dollars though the local currency is used in actual transactions. For instance, in Latin America most hotels list there prices in U.S. dollars. Even in the strong Latam economies, such as Brazil and Colombia, hotels are priced in dollars but transacted in the local currency using the dollar exchange rate. Thinking of buying property in Argentina or Costa Rica? Well it won’t be priced in pesos or colones, it will be priced in dollars. I live in Central America and my rent is priced in dollars. And what currency would the dollar fall against? Certainly not the Euro. Despite the current Euro Dollar exchange rate, Europe, with its PIIGS problem, is in far worse shape than the dollar.

And the Chinese are so stubborn about floating their currency, which is currently pegged to the dollar, that if dollar fell it would take their currency with it and wipe out all the US dollar reserves that China holds. That might be a positive if the dollar did collapse. China’s dollar reserves would have much less value and U.S. labor would suddenly be much cheaper which would stimulate the economy.

But really, what currency would you move your money into. None are more stable than the dollar. And don’t say gold. The dark ages are over. Kings and queens are only figureheads and no one is conquerors out to capture more gold. There are plenty of things more valuable than gold. Gold is to 2010 what real estate was to 2007. The bubble is about to burst.

The world is not an ox. It doesn’t need to be led.
The Chinese have had a large population as well as a warrior and now militaristic tradition for far too long. We don’t see it, but other countries in the area know that they can be easily overwhelmed by the sheer numbers in the Chinese armed forces. China has other territorial traditions. They never gave Inner Mongolia back to Mongolia. They still believe that Taiwan belongs to them and get angry when anyone refers to Taiwan as the “R.O.C.” That stands for Republic of China.

Bill Clinton was in the White House while every Republican gorilla swung their clubs at him on a daily basis. Not to promote dictatorships and other parasitic government bodies like the central committees used in real Communist countries, but no government branch can work while either one of the other two are like a pamper to it: Full of shit and all over its ass.

Feudalism in America, as well as Europe, is impossible. First of all, our Feudal Lords are not the type to provide any social safety net as well as taking responsibility for the physical upkeep of the serf. With their constant insistence on everyone paying their way as if everyone could afford the full monte, they are immediately disqualified for a Lordship. Feudalism was virtual slavery. Total slavery, if you were female.

What will happen is that since the rich know what their money can buy anywhere on this planet, they’ll just leave us alone like a used sanitary napkin. They’ll just pass us there. Why should they even care? They wouldn’t want us and will simply turn their heads.

“On the contrary, I love women and there’s certainly nothing more beautiful to look at. Lesbian’s on the other hand disgust me”

You love women but they scarcely return the favor? Lol, this is the source of your resentment towards people’s sexuality.

Usually people who speak like you, have 3 problems
1) a really bad hygiene
2) they smell like piss
3) they look like shit

You’re god damned right ” there is nothing more beautiful than women” ….I am a girl who loves girls & I wouldn’t change my lust for pussy for your hairy balls, for all the money in the world….

Tipping Point: 25 Signs That The Coming Financial Collapse Is Now Closer Than Ever

http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com/archives/tipping-point-25-signs-that-the-coming-financial-collapse-is-now-closer-then-ever

I’ll stick to whatever is written on subway wall and tenement halls

Excellent analysis, and I believe what you are describing about jimbob, is the authoritarian personality. The mind shuts down early in life, creativity is strangled , zero introspection to see one’s faults, thus improving empathy, no, all that is left is a mind that projects his own anger to all around him. Of course he needs scapegoats, otherwise I believe he would have torn his hair out in disgust if he truly would hear himself blabber on. The authoritarian personality flocks to the Republican party, in record numbers, and they would have kissed Bush’s feet if they had the chance. Bush and Cheney were authoritarians to the core, and now we all suffer as a result, as well as all the American Soldiers who died in Iraq, an illegal war. No wonder, Bush is considered by most scholars as the worst president in American History.

The people running the show got their TAPI Gas Pipeline deal in Afghanistan and their Big Oil contracts for the Iraqi oil. Sounds like “prevailing” to me.

Look how much Obama LOVES war as does every president who is owned by the military-industrial-banking complex:
“Gates: Public Opinion Can’t Stop Afghan War
As Clinton Chides Americans to Support Occupation, Gates Insists Their Opinions Don’t Count Anyhow”
“Secretary of State Hillary Clinton played the usual appeal to fear card in trying to bolster public support for the Afghan War, even as polls show the American public overwhelmingly opposed to continuing the occupation, already in its tenth year. Her comments urged Americans to see the war as “protecting their families.””

Get real. Over 700 U.S. military bases in over 100 countries PROVES this is an EMPIRE! Just because you believe the lies told in high school history does not make it right.

It is occupation. Long term occupation which is the essence of empire.

As a Queer I don’t mind people like you, you are harmless as a Gay hamster, but please stay away from the kids. Homosexuality is not a crime,it’s an issue between 2 consenting adults,
but pedophilia is a crime.Are you on the National sex predators registry ?

I agree. Back in 1972, I was working in the Dept. of Econ at the University of Minnesota. I learned alot when Nixon changed from the gold standard to fiat currency. I still don’t believe that it was a smart decision because I’m still wondering if there really is gold at Fort Knox.

At any rate, countries that change their currency equivalency to anything other than dollars will bankrupt themselves. And, of course, there was a problem with Saddam Husein trying to switch the value of oil from US dollars to euros. We know what happened to him. You’d be stupid to switch your currency value to anything but the US dollar.

Also false flag terror events blamed on enemies and cracking down on their own populace instead–just like the U.S. has done with 911. Stage the terror and blame foreigners and then turn into a police-state because they know the empire is crumbling and running out of money.

Of course…..we’re there forever to protect “our” interests, that we just took from them.

“Its faith in God that will save this country and the rest of the world. Man will bring nations to destruction.”…let me fix that for you for you…”It’s mans faith in “god” that will bring nations to destruction”…if there was a giant sky faerie, people would not be suffering and dying for no apparent reason other than greed…the founders of this country came here to flee religious and political persecution…

Grannie, you ‘d better keep your grand kids away from people like Jim Bob (what a fucking ridiculous name is that, by the way).Looks like the perfect pedo, to me

Don’t worry as long as you’re alive, us Queers will stay away from the innocence of your grand kids, there is nothing more repealing than the vision of an old rag who smells of death …..

You don’t get it do you. Leave the US and see how well most other countries are doing. I’m in Thailand and our economy may have slowed due to political crises at the beginning of the year but there isn’t a Thai who can’t find a job, or is losing his house because of bank mismanagement and thievery. Thai banks are secure (all my money is in them now) and, when the US was bailing out bank after bank, Thai banks were recording record profits. Why? Because they kept a lot of money in reserve (smart) and didn’t involve themselves in illegal deals.

THIS is reality over much of the world. Europe will eventually recover, it always does. America is absolutely done, because the unchecked corporations are out of control, steamrolling over anyone who tries to stop them.

You’re a moron. While your country is dying around your ears, you’re still toeing the party line. Every American I know who lives in Asia wouldn’t go back to the US if they were HOGTIED.

Life is amazing outside America as we don’t live in eternal FEAR, lied to by a corrupt American government who you’ll still be believing is working FOR you when you’re being led to your grave.

I’m amazed how so many idiots still live in America and hand over all their power to a lunatic government. Very sad :(

And by the way, you sound hysterical, LOL.

[...] by a Pulitzer Prize winner, journalist Chris Hedges as a country who’s empire is in danger of ‘imminent collapse’, US politicians seem to be doing everything to seal its fate. $850 billion more added to the US [...]

It is time to revisit the Farewell Address of America’s last REAL Commander in Chief, Supreme Allied Commander, WWII, and President for 8 years, Dwight D. Eisenhower.

His speech 50 years ago was not political or partisan, but more Spiritual in scope, based on his experience from holding the most powerful military and political jobs the world has ever created.

He cautioned against thinking there is some quick fix as he said,
“there is a recurring temptation to feel that some spectacular and costly action could become the miraculous solution to all current difficulties.”

The American people Today do expect their Leaders to provide that quick fix solution to all their problems without the people having to do anything to disrupt their comforts and habits.

Television, the biggest thing to happen to Society since WWII, has evolved to foster that appetite for instant gratification when the General was advising patience. It created want in Society that was focused on meeting needs until the arrival of TV.

With the latest quantitative easing, America continues to de-value ITSELF in the world as The General warned would be the consequence in the misuse of American Power..

With the benefit of hindsight, only now can we see the Wisdom, Experience, Spirituality and Truth in his prophetic speech.

Fighting wars in impoverished Afghanistan/Pakistan with high tech weapons at great cost in money, material and human lives to support a corrupt government when all those $billions could have been used to rebuild a country, not modelled after the West with it’s pseudo Democracy and consumerism, but consistent with the needs of the local population. Indoor plumbing and electricity would have been a good start.

“Another factor in maintaining balance involves the element of time. As we peer into society’s future, we — you and I, and our government — must avoid the impulse to live only for today, plundering, for our own ease and convenience, the precious resources of tomorrow. We cannot mortgage the material assets of our grandchildren without risking the loss also of their political and spiritual heritage. We want democracy to survive for all generations to come, not to become the insolvent phantom of tomorrow.

Throughout America’s adventure in free government, our basic purposes have been to keep the peace; to foster progress in human achievement, and to enhance liberty, dignity and integrity among people and among nations. To strive for less would be unworthy of a free and religious people. Any failure traceable to arrogance, or our lack of comprehension or readiness to sacrifice would inflict upon us grievous hurt both at home and abroad.

Progress toward these noble goals is persistently threatened by the conflict now engulfing the world. It commands our whole attention, absorbs our very beings. We face a hostile ideology — global in scope, atheistic in character, ruthless in purpose, and insidious in method. Unhappily the danger is poses promises to be of indefinite duration. To meet it successfully, there is called for, not so much the emotional and transitory sacrifices of crisis, but rather those which enable us to carry forward steadily, surely, and without complaint the burdens of a prolonged and complex struggle — with liberty the stake. Only thus shall we remain, despite every provocation, on our charted course toward permanent peace and human betterment.”

America has gone off the charted course.

End of discussion? No, it just getting started. Jim Bob, I know your secret. Deep down, you hate yourself, what you dish out is what you are deep inside. People with your personality type claim to love women, only to become wife-batterers, abuse their children physically or emotionally. It is so obvious that one of your parents must have also been a bigoted person or you grew up in an environment of hate. Let me guess, you come from the bible belt or some other strict religion that is non-tolerant and medieval. Sir, you don’t love women, because you don’t know what love means. It is not control and the infliction of pain for obediance. Women are not your property, but your equal, something you would never tolerate.

Dude, your splitting systematical hairs on this empire thing. The tentacles of the US are everywhere. The Japaneses tried to throw the US out of Okinawa and their PM got thrown-out instead. The signs of of the US’s imperious control are everywhere. Weather its officially titled an empire is irrelevant. If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it’s pretty likely it is a duck.

We are spending billions on these fucking bullshit wars.

Dude, read a little history. China’s present boundaries go back a long way, longer than the US has existed. How many military bases does China have outside China? Zero. How many wars is China’s military involved in right now? Zero. The US military, including its mercenary forces, are twice the size of China’s. The US Navy is twice the size of China’s and China has no aircraft carriers, the US has 11. The US spends more on “defense” than the rest of the world combined.
>They never gave Inner Mongolia back to Mongolia. The US never gave Hawaii back the Hawaiians; never gave back Puerto Rico to the Puerto Ricans; never gave Guam back to Guam; never gave Samoa back to the Samoans. OK, they did give the Philippines back to the Filipinos. But they have kept far more than they have ever returned.

Hundreds of billions. And even more on a military more expensive than the rest of the world combined.

Prof Michael Hudson in an interview at The Real News Network said that Fed QE 2 has already resulted in 600 billion increase to banks that have in turn invested it overseas. Not a drop is being invested in U.S. Every American should take note. It has been predicted that the U.S. is on the path to a neo-feudal state, where we are all but indebted serfs. The ignorance level by the majority of people in matters of their own government is the other concern. I am middle age, it will not be easy to leave but the younger folks should at least have a “plan B” on leaving.

The Wikileaks and those invisible forces behind them (and Sorry but I do not believe the lines going around the internet that Israel Zionists are behind wikilieaks…) which probably includes an international effort, are designed to bring the U.S. down. The entire planet is sick of the U.S. It has been acting like a nazi fascist state for at least 9 years now, and then the world discovered that our Banksters were selling their junk securities and other highly leveraged trash around the planet.

Now guess who gets to pay for all these crimes, lies, and misdemeanors? YOU and ME!!

And hardly a peep from the people. But even though the people are ignorant it does not give these Corpo-political-banking parasites a mandate to do as they please and stick the bill up our asses.

It never ceases to amaze me how so many people in the U.S. are so easily propagandized to the point that these Criminal elites get the Green-light and go-ahead by the very people they are screwing.

Just Watch…. There will be people poor as church mice that will be talked into giving up their social security and paying more taxes. Hell, the criminals will even let rip a campaign to lower minimum wage and some of these people on minimum wage will say “Hell, yes”!!

What lies you spew. And are you openly advocating genocide of certain segments of society that you don’t agree with? Wow. You nazis must be feeling quite empowered these days to openly advocate the murder of certain segments of the community. Like that guy you admire so much, Hitler, you probably want to hunt down and murder liberals, too. And you wouldn’t know what integrity, honor or patriotism was if it came up and punched you in the face.

Also, where’s your proof that “being gay is a choice and not something you’re born with,” asswipe?

If America was willing to re-declare its independence, what would that look like? What would a new Constitution look like?

Maybe a general strike might help. There would be some pain, as there always is when people act in concert like that. But how else can you take your power back?

You’re blaming unions and social welfare programs? Glenn Beck, I didn’t know you posted here!

Another idiot ‘social democracy’ supporter. The Medicare and Social Security entitlement deficit is a greater threat to America’s long term viability than all manner of corporate welfare, foreign intervention, and corruption combined.

Perpetual debt. But better them than me.

Dorothy’s Ruby (Silver) slippers have been stolen and nowhere to be found.

The greatest threat to this country is the Military, DHS and The FED. That is the triumverate that will kill America as we knew it.

How on earth did we allow this to happen? Maybe this is God’s revenge for allowing our Government to in effect kill him.

idiot

i blame you(and to some extent me) the docile masses.(…but mainly you)

DUMB ASS if you work you pay for social security its the”corporate welfare, foreign intervention, and corruption combined.” that have robbed the trust fund.

p.s thanks obama for cutting the payroll tax and moving us one step closer to privatizing social security

How did we allow this to happen, they used our own weaknesses and strengths against us. They used hate to divide us, they used exceptionalism of ones country/race etc. to think we are right and others are wrong. They used this and more to blind us to seeing the ones in power is stealing and killing in our name both here and abroad. Joseph Goebbels Hitlers propaganda minister has a quote that is true even today

“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.”

For them to get away with what they are doing, they have to keep us fat dumb and happy and our attention diverted to hating others. This way when they get done and even the dumbest and ignorant of us see we where conned and scammmed, it will be to late and they will be realizing this when they are in a detention camp for protesting against the cuts in food rations from the coming economic implosion.

“If America was willing to re-declare its independence,”

i don’t recall “america” declaring its independence, i do however have a vague memory of the 13 colonies declaring their independence, followed by a genocidal march across the continent, in the name of manifest destiny. that has now made it way to the ends of the earth.

you all seem to complain about how bad your governments are and the bad decisions it makes, yet you are the ones voting for them. you know they are lying to you. complacency is the method.

I’m 61; when I had strength for “physically resisting,” I was in my twenties when I did jail time and risked my little skull for my country. Your turn, kids. I’ll make the chili.

Having sold all my possessions on turning 30, I left CanaDa, my Country, family, friends and the Past on September 1,1975, entering the US to discover the Spirit of ’76. The American people were so good to me on The Way, in looking back, that was one of the best periods of my life, and I will never forget the Goodness in the American People I experienced. Like the US always says about other Countries they don’t like, I love the People but not the governmental power.

The Spirit of ’76 led me to places and scenes I could never have imagined.

On September 13, 1976, page 3A, with the header, ´Prophet Chooses Park For Vigil´ The Kansas City Times recorded and reported on my visit to the City and the Republican National Convention. They report, in addition to other specifics, I was serving notice The Writing is on the Wall.

“He came to town for the Republican National Convention and will stay until the election in November to do God’s bidding: To tell the world, from Kansas City, that this Country has been found wanting and it’s days are numbered”…………………………He gestured toward a gleaming church dome. “The gold dome is the symbol of Babylon,” he said.

In a General sense, America and the world can see from 1976 to now, it has come to pass or at least on the way. I still harbour Hope the American People will wake up in time to get back on the charted course. There are other specifics in that record of Time history shows have also come to pass after the fact of the September 13, 1976 report. Judge for yourself.

Well Davey, the south has all it needs to rise again. there is still good ag land. Growing the crop that the south’s industrialization was built around is very viable. That crop can then be processed in facilities nearby. The processed fibers can then be woven into cloth. The closth can then be transformed into clothing. This clothing can be then sold. All through this process it requires people to work the machines, do the paper work, load the trucks, drive the trucks. When the product is put into stores it requires workers there also. This whole process needs to have a system of roads to allow all the transfer. The roads need to be built and maintained. These workers have children that need to go to school to get oreoared to move into the work force. this goes on and on Davey.

What you might think about is whay happened to that way of things. How is it that by the stores in the south are filled with clothing that is made in some foriegn land. I would think that there are people living right in your county that would be well served by a system were jobs for them producing and transporting and managing and selling and growing and bulding and maintaining.

I would love to buy my t-shirts and shoes made in the South. The “enemy” has lead us to believe the the citizens of the USA are no longer a soveriegn nation with a Constitution that requires Duties to be placed on imports and fees to be collected as payment to all of the citizens on natural resources that are the property of the citizens. The reason that this is part of our foundation is to protect the citizens and facilitate a self sustaining society.

Social Security is fully paid for in until at least 2037, unless the scumbag politicians, led by Obushbama, destroy it first. All they have to do to make SS completely viable forever is to remove the cap from 106,000 completely and make the filthy rich pay on everything they make.

Medicare is in bad shape due to fraud and the politicians fucking it up by not allowing
negotiated rates for drugs. Big Pharma is raping us blind. Medicare is not the problem,
the way the politicians fuck with it is.

And the way to pay for these programs and single payer health care is to stop these disgusting wars, and turn the military into a defensive force and not an offensive force.
This will save billions if not trillions of dollars. Our military budget is sickening.

Doing this will make it possible to pay for everything.
