We are so freakin stupid
and the old guard, dying hard, is even more so.
In this moment, I am becoming quite surprised that people still believe in the system as set up. There are no more two parties. Check the donors and how the quislings in Congress actually vote. We are controlled by White/Zionist Surpremacists, and the old order (neocons, failed neolibs, what I call the "Roach Class - they are not elite and they're not all that smart, and the few who remain in the shadows) is dying - and dying hard. They are snatching, grabbing, and getting out of Dodge with as much money and power as they can - and now with medicare being added to the proposed cuts, we will gift money that isn't even there to the Roaches, and take it from everyone else.
But we still believe, after all these years, in the two parties who brought us to this point. It is is much bigger than this now. This is a global break - a paradigm shift of massive proportions. The old colonizers (White mostly) are wanting back into Africa to recolonize. Why? Resources (same in South America). Rare earth minerals...Zelensky gave away the farm when they got him to agree to turn over control of Ukraine's resources, rare earth minerals. It's a geopolitical game of old, mostly white men who have never been able to get off on anything other than War, Power Over, and Killing for fun and profit.
The U.S. just sent proposals for "aid" packages to every country in Africa. To be brief, the same old promises and proposals (we give you money, some military aid, and promises to help with infrastructure, and in return, you turn over all your earth minerals, gold, diamonds; you cut ties with China; turn over control of Intellectual Property; turn over control of any new ventures in your country, so corporations can take what they want. There's more.
The issue? YOU FOOLED AFRICA ONCE...THEY ARE AWAKE NOW. REMEMBER THE OLD FOOL ME TWICE THING?
The United States will change or the empire will be finished. It's just about time anyway. We the People can live and thrive without empire - but only if we work together. Guess it's up to us if we thrive or die.


Thrive together or die. Unity is strength.
Ex unitate vires. Was the South African apartheid slogan when I lived there. Equally true for both sides
now.
