As Its Domestic Foundations Rapidly Erode, the U.S. Pursues World Domination

Now as what’s left of the manufacturing sector reels from the powerful blows it has absorbed and struggles to escape a total collapse what do we see? This article sounds the alarms and illustrates how the proposed TPP (Trans-Pacific Partnership), a massive new trade agreement being finalized by President Obama and more than 600 corporate “advisers”, totally in secret with no participation by the Congress, will have the potential to put the final nails into the coffins of the American workforce and the middle class. Mr. Obama fully intends to ram it through Congress with no debate and discussion and he must be stopped in his tracks.

The Financial Sector is loaded with toxic derivatives, credit default swaps and a host of other schemes and scams, it’s the center of financial manipulation; it’s only a matter of time before this House of Cards comes crashing down. Many economic experts are predicting the “Crash of 2016.” Want to guess who is going to, once again, come to the rescue and pay for it?

And worst of all is what is happening to America’s respect in the world; it’s been dropping at an alarming rate as many nations see the U.S. government hell bent on pursuing its highly aggressive agenda of endless war and world domination; more and more they see it as a great threat to world peace. It’s no longer the symbol of freedom and democracy as it once was, but a nation now feared by many.


This country has changed dramatically in recent times, especially since it entered the 21st Century. In describing the America of the past these words come to mind: creative, innovative, proactive, vibrant and visionary. Now as we look at the America of today, these words seem to be more descriptive: reactive, regressive, apathetic, and uninspired.

However, as I speak of the changes that have happened to America, it’s not to say that this country is to blame. Critics here and abroad should stop blaming America, the country for what they see as a nation gone astray. This is still a great country but one that, unfortunately, is being dragged down by a consortium of the Congress, the White House, the Pentagon, the State Dept., the defense industry and an army of many thousands of lobbyists. When we aim our criticisms it should never be against America but directly aimed at this government and the inept leaders that have failed it.

1. Here's my version of the plan

We're going to supply the guardian of the planet military. That's our role in the TPP. We'll be the cannon fodder to spread "democracy" throughout the world and that's it.

2. Yes. We are the corporations' military force.

For it to be all-voluntary, other good employment options need to be scarce.

This is a GOOD thing for corporate interests.

3. Business approach:

Protect your market, strip out everything of value, relocate it and move along.

4. Meanwhile . . .

David Petreaus and Michael O'Hanlon publish a feel-good article in the Washington Post telling us how America's best times are ahead of us.

5. I, for one, would like to know WTF is going on in this country.

We sure to hell aren't going to be promoting democracy through the use of force. Democracy is the last thing this bunch of miscreants is interested in.

This is like a group of comic book style evil villains have gained complete control of the nation.
