There is also something very wrong in a democracy when one agency is recruited to represent the policies of all the people. I don't know any other way of saying it. Since the beginning they have been slanted toward white culture, corporations and a uniformity of the people. Anyone who was different was the enemy - both foreign and domestic. We have been following their plan for our nation.
Their attitude toward the rest of the world has been one of empire building and resource theft from the beginning.
And now we are seeing just to what length they will go to achieve THEIR goals.
Yes, I sympathize with the American people but I also sympathize with the world.

(53,661 posts)How to create a fascist state:
True individual freedom cannot exist without economic security and independence. People who are hungry and out of a job are the stuff of which dictatorships are made.
Doing right by all is an advantage:
Human kindness has never weakened the stamina or softened the fiber of a free people. A nation does not have to be cruel to be tough.
When greed takes over:
We have always known that heedless self-interest was bad morals; we now know that it is bad economics.
Empires are doomed to failure.
