AMERICA,
WHAT’S BEEN GOING ON?
.
After 9/11,
2001 the big question in the United States was, “Why do they hate us?” How could anyone see the United States as an
enemy? They must be crazy, thinking we
are the bad guys? After all, we are the
ones bring the whole world into a new era of peace and prosperity. Is it something we do not realize we have
done?
.
The national
majority, convinced liberty was under attack, consented to violent retaliation…WAR. It never crossed the mind of the electorate that
those doing the convincing were poised to reap enormous profits from the
venture.
.
Back then, for
the most part, our masses were fed, housed, clothed, and either unconcerned or
actually unaware of what our corporate, financial, and political leaders were
doing around the world. It made little
difference to us, as long as our leaders were taking care of our interest at
home and abroad. However, rather than
our interests they were busy taking care of their interests…Maximizing profits regardless
of environmental or social costs.

I hate, and
I mean hate, to back a point of view that I do not have personally acquired evidence
to verify my claim. Nonetheless, some
claims reflect a reality so obviously correct, that based on nothing but a
meager understanding of extended markets and human nature, its accuracy is
undeniable. That is why, if it is
nothing more than a naked hypothesis, I am comfortable sharing this old video produced
in 2012.
