Have you ever thought about our future?

ever thought about our future

Over the course of my life I have watched interest in ideas die. Ideas have been replaced by agendas, and emotion has taken the place of reason.

American political campaigns have always been burdened with mudslinging and misrepresentations, but I can remember when presidential campaigns also involved contrasting ideas about domestic and foreign policies. Today once we spoke of the power of ideas. Now we speak of the power of agendas. As President George W. Bush put it, “you are with us or against us.”

In the current presidential campaign the Democrats’ main issue is that Trump is a dictator who will destroy democracy. This from a Democrat regime that has turned law into a weapon against political candidates such as Trump. Clearly, the Democrat Department of Justice (sic) and the Democrat New York attorney general are using law to interfere in the election.

The double standards are extraordinary and go far beyond mere mudslinging. Today it is not only the CIA, FBI, the State Department, and AIPAC who sponsor “fact-checkers” to protect their narratives from the truth, but also corporations and left-wing organizations. War is now more important than survival. Washington regards people who seek understanding with concocted “enemies” as more dangerous than nuclear war.

The picture I have presented is merely the tip of the iceberg. There is so much more. There is the enormous US debt, on a per capita basis double that of the most indebted European countries. As long as the US treasury debt serves as reserves of foreign central banks, the US debt can be financed. But sanctions and mindless weaponization of the US dollar have caused a move away from US Treasury debt as central bank reserves. A declining use of the dollar means that the dollar’s value will decline. As the US produces abroad in other currencies a large percentage of the goods and services that it consumes, massive US inflation will be the consequence. At this rate, we will be like Germany in the 1920s when people went to the grocery store with wheelbarrows of bank notes to purchase a loaf of bread.

It is sad to say but true. The US Constitution is a dead letter document. Democracy is a joke. There is no accountability of government at any level. Truth is a threat to the ruling elite and every material interest that accommodates elite rule. There is no protection against the exercise of raw power against an American citizen. Just ask Donald Trump, Tulsi Gabbard, Scott Ritter and a large number of others.

What are you doing about it other than playing the victim, bitching about the current state of affairs all day long and staying put?

Always remember: “The world is a dangerous place to live, not because of the people who are evil, but because of the people who don’t do anything about it”.
