Over time I became good at selling these programs, but as excellent as they were, they did not produce the results people who bought them were entitled to and I wanted to know why. Gradually I began to understand the way people are taught, forced, coerced, cajoled, punished, manipulated, bribed to act impacts what they think, and that their habits of action develop the thinking that makes them the people they become, not their logical thinking processes.  You learn to think largely as a result of the way you have been taught, badgered, coerced, conditioned, educated, threatened, punished or sweet talked into acting without your consent, and not the other way around. Much of your thinking ends up simply justifying what you have been forced to believe are your own beliefs. Look at how you are raised, schooled, employed and react with society from a young age and you will get it.  The video in this link explains how your brain reacts to and learns from its surroundings, which biologically impacts your habitual behavior.

Military boot camp does not ask permission.  Can you imagine the sales pitch if it did? "Is it Ok if we give you a crappy salary, a medical plan, durable clothes all the same color, free meals and a place to live as long as you never question us sending you to place like Iraq based on total lies about things like them having weapons of mass destruction.  In return you must kill innocent women and children to teach the rest of the world not to defy us.  When you are done we will give you medals, call you a patriot and a hero, and parade you (like a complete sucker) at baseball games.  And we will make sure compliant and brainwashed citizens cheer and clap like monkeys seeing bananas when they are hungry, so that your blind obedience to lies will never be challenged. Now sign here."

Our habits are environmentally and physiologically reinforced, a process that keeps a person moving in the unique direction they have learned to live with over time. Much of what we learn, or in even simpler terms, have been externally driven TO DO, is not accurate, in polite terms, and if we are habitually conditioned to move in a particular direction reinforced by beliefs that are erroneous, we will end up right where the world is now.  IT IS ABSOLUTELY CRITICAL TO NOTE YOUR PERMISSION IS NOT REQUIRED AT ALL.  Past and present governments are in effect undermining and destroying America and the lives of your children without your permission, your vote or even your understanding of what is happening and history shows the majority of politicians are both self-serving, self-protecting and completely disconnected from the results of the decisions they make. But they always get their pensions.

The idea of free will and self determination are wonderful ideas, but we live in a perpetual state of being parented and controlled, and very little of that parenting, control, guidance, enforced behavior helps us develop free will and self determination.  In fact it does quite the opposite.  That does not mean the potential is not there, but you are shaping two environments when you make the decision to change in any way, to get ahead. One is your own, behavioral, habitual environment, and the other is your surrounding environment which includes the people around you.  In a small and isolated community it may be easier to change and grow without being effectively boot camped  into compliance by those around you.  But in larger society as a whole, the pressure to conform to the popular habitual behavior of living, the Skinner Box as it were, is more complex.  You do not live in isolation in a crowded world, and when you consider the behavior of many around you, you realize there are are a lot of people in polite terms who are utterly incompetent. 

To understand the impact of your immediate surroundings on your ability to change your habits, get your face tattooed with fake tattoos, wear clothes you would never think of wearing, go home and tell the people you live with, parents, loved ones, immediate family you think having intimate relationships with animals is the way to go, and watch their reactions.  Less dramatic changes are no less impactful but harder to spot.  The process of change is regulated by a physiological process called homestasis, which essentially is a process to maintain consistency in your behavior or experiences. When you attempt to change anything in your life homestasis automatically puts on the brakes to the change.  Later in this article we show you in greater detail how it works.  Dr. Robert Sapolsky is a MacArthur “Genius” Fellow, a professor of biology, neurology and neurosurgery at Stanford University, and a research associate at the National Museum of Kenya.  He explains the process of stress (change) on your life and how it impacts your behavior and free will in the video in this link.

Governments, who are supposed to serve you and do not, are changing your behavior with their acts and your input is universally ignored.  Ask yourself what politician or bureaucrat you think should tell you and your children how to live and have the behavioral controls to enforce that way to live. That is exactly where you are at today.  Governments have become the enemy instead of the servant.

Notice how Democrats and Republicans both vote to pass the bills that negatively affect your lives.  It is all a charade, a put on, as long as the gravy train for donors and sponsors continue and your wages are kept low, you have no universal health care, small business is being attacked, and your children are exposed to deviancy at a young age.  Both parties can find multiple ways to modify the environment you interact with and that is what actually modifies your behavior, which over time you justify and adopt as your own beliefs.  You may not agree with that statement, but what you do every day is you, not the fictions in your mind that you delude yourself with.  The whole purpose of propaganda is simply to keep you from exercising your God given absolute, you choose, right to protect your life and that of your children when attacked.  You do not need to ask permission to fight to breathe, but propaganda is used to try and stop you from trying. 

Later in this site I will explain how life insurance companies became some of the richest and most powerful corporations on earth by capitalizing on people's habitual behavior data.  In short, you trap mice by putting traps where the mice run.  Horrific as it may sound, people are not all that different.

Years later Edward Snowden exposed the fact that the NSA was collecting behavior data on everyone. My work in the insurance industry and knowledge learned from our family's startup of a life insurance company provided deep insight into the value of having this data. And through a relative, J Edgar Hoover provided me with information that helped me to understand how the military uses personal data for behavior control and propaganda. 

It immediately occurred to me the NSA and all other connected government agencies and companies in the private sector collecting behavior data on everyone has nothing to with terrorism and everything to do with behaviorally controlling the civilian population. Running these programs takes lots of people and that process leaks information all of the time which can easily be found with effort.  Those knowledgeable about behavior control and propaganda will quickly recognize what is going on, as you will see as you go through this site.

The NSA and the government are using behavior control manipulations to sell the public on the legitimacy of government and a perpetual state of war. War is not really what you think it is.  Imagine if every two years 50% of all manufactured automobiles suddenly started to disintegrate into a pile of metal shavings and plastic, a process that took less than a minute once it started, with no warranty whatsoever. You would be forced to replace them at your expense.  That is what war is, an excuse to disintegrate billions of dollars' worth of goods annually with no salvage and you have to keep paying.  If you think tobacco companies are crooks you have never really had a good look at the US Military establishment.  What a scam.  Maybe one day you will wake up and get tired of it.  To do so they need to create a nation of compliant citizens government and the military industrial complex can control so that they can create another Empire like that of ancient Rome, which failed completely, as will the American empire.  Rome built with stones, American functionaries, the hired and elected help, build with lies.

The problem is their foot soldiers keep tripping over themselves bullying and murdering citizens, blowing up innocent people, destroying cities, raping and torturing family members which creates retaliation and destruction everywhere. Now the American military establishment has to double down and in the process creates such an unstable environment globally the public will eventually have to find a way to get rid of them. And, just like in ancient Rome, politicians are simply puppets for patricians whose hands are under their togas controlling everything they do. A huge problem for this modern-day Roman spectacle is the fact that we live in a world that is so connected it is like one big security camera that never shuts off. Nothing stays hidden for long.  The recent Panama Papers leak is proof of it. Be forever thankful for leaks and whistle blowers.  That is democracy, just like the Boston Tea party was.

This site is reporting what it sees in the camera as it relates to behavior control and propaganda on an ongoing basis. Fortunately, I know how you can use the behavior control and propaganda programs the military has developed to benefit you and that is explained as well. But first you have to get well past the fog that government is infecting your mind with. This site provides a fog light.

It is absolutely critical to note that when this government or any government deliberately and completely destroys your environment, in effect modifying the Skinner Box, creating fall down points and curbs to restrict your activity, without your input, they are directly attacking you and the lives of your children.  Voting will not solve the problem because the effective levers of power are so firmly compromised that they act like a backstop for the corrupt destruction of nations. Icelanders attempting to create a new constitution crowd sourced by the people provides a very basic example of how the will of the people can be subverted by entrenched power and political subversion.

However, the destructive policies can be reversed and other acts such as flooding the country with illegals can be remedied by rounding them up and throwing them out.  Want be kind, tell the illegal aliens to get off their duff, grow some courage, and fix the countries they fled, like what they are really are, which are deserters. You are told about the value of the law and independent courts, which is all nonsense,  No one that is supposed to represent you believes it at all.  The founding fathers, and people throughout the centuries have figured it out, and that is the offenders have to be defeated completely, and at any cost.

"what country can preserve it's liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? let them take arms. the remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon & pacify them. what signify a few lives lost in a century or two? the tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots & tyrants. it is it's natural manure."  - Thomas Jefferson to William Smith, Paris Nov. 13. 1787

They must not be left with anything that can be used to regain power, and more importantly, you must seize control of their money and wealth, all banking systems and financial exchanges.  They are weapons of mass control and destruction as surely as nuclear bombs.  Look at what the Canadian Government did to the truckers protesting provable failed Covid policies, and the wars in Vietnam, Afghanistan and now Ukraine show.

A clear idea of what needs to be done can be seen in the example of the war between the North and the South over slavery. A politically negotiated solution would not have solved the problem, and provided outcomes no one liked.  The bloody war and fighting to the death made the point.  Even so, history shows a continued effort to overturn the result of the war.

Thank Ed Snowden for peeling the roof off the coliseum. Snowden is not a traitor, a government operating in secret is, and as you will read further down, corrupt officials in the administration are behind the secrecy that allows the abuse of citizens the NSA has undertaken. Citizens get to vote for a group of these traitors every four years. 

Voting for politicians today is like giving a thief your bank card and password and agreeing to go to your room for four years and not come out. You get exactly what you deserve in that scenario.  The system was setup with the idea politicians can be trusted.  Now that the joke is over, perhaps you will learn to inspect what you expect.  I don't have the answer for how to fix it, but there are billions of you on earth, so start to figure it out.

Everyday Improvement for Brain Dead Zombies

Peeking Into Pandora's Box

• Congressional requirements to report back to Congress on the use of Patriot Act authority to secretly search homes and sees private papers;

• The McCain amendment for bidding any US officials to use torture or cruel, inhuman, or degrading treatment on prisoners (the president said in his statement that as commander-in-chief he could waive any such requirement if necessary to prevent terrorist attacks); (See page 15, 16 and 17 of the linked document)

Moving on, an additional benefit of sensationalizing military power in the media is the implied warning it serves to nations which are not yet targets that they too can be the recipient of such treatment. Anyone that does not agree with the aggressor state's "strategic interests" must be made to understand they can be directly attacked or left on their own to defend themselves against the "real bad guys," the Russians, the Chinese, the Iranians, the terrorist hordes and so on.

Evil as a Product and Export Commodity

Abu Ghraib is proof institutional evil exists, and was deliberately and willfully implemented by George Bush and his advisers, and which continued in the Obama administration. Evil can be systematically spread to infect anyone and has been done so throughout history. In addition to wherever else such processes can be found, it is securely embedded in the land of the free, home of the brave, and quarterbacked by an assorted mix of those that deliberately harm others in the Beltway. Maybe the new slogan should be land of the deceived, home of the brave, and evil and corrupt behavior drives our mission, so screw you.

"The power is in the system. The system creates the situation that corrupts the individuals... If you want to change a person, change the situation." - Dr. Philip Zimbardo, TED talk September 2008

One Beginning

As a child my mother took us to Sunday school where they taught the idea that God looks after us if we are good and punishes us if are bad. To a young mind, that idea implied the abuse of my mother and I was somehow our fault or a mysterious lesson from God. 

At the time I was too young and afraid to challenge the teaching.  Today, with all due respect to whatever God some people faithfully believe in, and as a parent of children I love, there is no benefit to living in any kind of abusive environment or making children think doing so is some kind of lesson they must accept in faith.

My father sold vacuum cleaners door to door when he was young and so when I was 13 or 14, he made me walk door-to-door in our neighborhood selling self-help materials for a company he represented. The self-help materials were from noted businessmen, authors, and lecturers and preached the gospel that anyone can become successful with work, the right attitude and goals. 

Once I understood the materials we were offering I became proficient at selling them.  I thought if I became successful financially, I could buy my way out of where I was at.  However, fearing that I might do something wrong by making money selling these programs, I decided I had better check what the so-called experts and God had to say about it.

I began an intense period of study in which I read through numerous bibles, the major texts of various religions, a large number of esoteric texts and more than 800 books at the time.  I took courses on self-improvement and self-actualization, studied Eastern and Western religions and lived in an ashram for a while.  These studies, while imparting greater knowledge did not reveal the answers I was seeking at the time.

At one point of extreme frustration, a flash of heightened awareness swept over me.  Perhaps the volume of material I studied triggered a euphoria in which everything seemed to come together.  I felt there was nothing to fear from life or death and the world is about creating and enhancing life.  The concept of a god was like that of a caring parent with little children being the window to the universe.  Wealth was legitimate if it was accumulated in performing service to others.

This state of awareness was intriguing. Many of the ideas in the books I had read, such as the Law of Success, various bibles of different religions and other texts all fit together.  It seemed like answers to many of life's mysteries were in plain sight but for some reason we can't see them. This link has a number of these books and the list will be populated for self study.

While in that state I revisited a number of the books and texts I had read previously and wrote down a kind of inspired Coles notes of what I had experienced.  This site sums that up in a way hopefully you can use or investigate on your own.

In later reading I learned a prominent Canadian psychiatrist Richard Maurice Bucke in the late 19th century experienced a period of altered consciousness which he documented.  Bucke researched the world's literature on the subject and corresponded with others about it over a period of years before writing "Cosmic Consciousness: A Study in the Evolution of the Human Mind."  In his book, Bucke describes his own experience, those of contemporaries, and studies of historical figures that may have experienced bouts of such consciousness. Bucke described the characteristics and effects of this state as:

Or perhaps such flashes of awareness reveal a link in our consciousness that pierces the mental fog we inherit from how we are raised, educated, governed, employed and taught religion, to a state of being in which there are different rules. 

Little children are of particular importance.  They, be it ever so briefly, appear to live in the state of consciousness Bucke studied. In their most innocent state children are what they imagine at any given moment and the world is their impression of it.  When you watch little children playing at being mothers or spacemen for example, you can see they are acting as if they are that person right now. They are Jedi. The only comment that could be made is that they need practice and experience to be better at it.  Doubt is initially not part of a child's make up.

William James, one of the leading thinkers of the late nineteenth century advocated acting "as if" you were in a position already in his writings.  

Certain biblical quotes, including "Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them" and "Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, If ye have faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only do this which is done to the fig tree, but also if ye shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; it shall be done" are all admonitions to believe now and just do it. 

Acting as if, being there now, or thinking from a position as if it is already done are not dependent on being highly skilled at whatever you are doing at that moment. Having spent years studying goal setting, I realized setting goals may actually be destructive because they reinforce the fact that you are not where you want to be now and confirm a time and space differential that has to be overcome to reach them.  However, by acting as if you are in the position you want to be in already and starting to do what you imagine even without the best of skills, which can be acquired, you are in a much better position than pushing the start off to some point in the future as a goal. Replace goals with task lists.  See this and this.

This line of thinking becomes clear when you think of athletics.  Athletes use their imagination to visualize succeeding in a sporting event as they warm up for it.  Visualization would not work if the athletes imagined eventually learning how to participate in the sport at some point in the future.  Going down a ski hill, imagining falling in great detail and then visualizing getting better a year from now reinforces a negative result.  Think from the desired position not to it.

And if you start something today you discover you are not happy with, don't worry about it.

Various religious texts describe heaven as belonging to little children, while many other texts emphasize the importance of an open mind free of prejudice and judgment.  Certain eastern religions teach the idea that a mind free of any bias or preconception is a prerequisite of acquiring greater knowledge. That idea has nothing to do with faith, in fact it challenges the idea of blindly following anything on faith alone.

If you can accept as a possibility the idea that the state of little children's minds with their ability to imagine freely and act confidently is how human beings' minds should work to ensure our future on earth, then it is vitally important to understand how to nurture those states of mind through to adulthood and do nothing to interfere with their ability to imagine and pursue the unknown with confidence. Free the Force.

"I never did a day's work in my life. It was all fun." - Thomas A. Edison

Richard Feynman made another critical observation I quote below: 

Waking Up

I looked into organizations like Weight Watchers and Alcoholics Anonymous, both of which offered behavior change programs. To me, neither organization consistently produced behavior change for the majority of their customers. However, the military had perfected changing recruits' behavior in a matter of months into people who will kill others on command without question. In the same way McDonald's automated many of the processes involved in running fast food restaurants, the military automated behavior change. 

The military's systems and processes can be based on pure fiction, as the war in Vietnam and later the fabrication of the weapons of mass destruction lie in Iraq has shown, and the process is devoid of any ethics or morality. The behavior change they create in recruits and the killings, murders, rapes, and torture that occur under their watch testify to that fact. I wanted to know how they did it and why it worked. 

The Empire

Through a relative who owned Bowie Race Track outside the Beltway in DC and Freehold Raceway in NJ at the time and who was friends with J Edgar Hoover, I was able to access information that put me on a path to understanding how the military changed recruits' behavior and controlled their thinking. Routine change, total compliance and submission to the mission were all part of the process. 

I was fortunate enough to gain insight into the understanding that behavior and thinking are completely malleable, which challenged the idea that the human condition was divinely or fatalistically inspired. Documents I saw outlined research indicating agency belief that this was the case, including some discussing objectives of the infamous MKUltra experiments. 

Since not everyone in the world is a terrorist, especially when you consider the fact that the NSA collects data on everyone, including members of governments who are allies, and the small number of states that can be defined as harboring or breeding terrorists, it was clear to me that the true purpose of the NSA's data collection program is about changing and controlling people's behavior in a direct threat to one's life and liberty of thought. They are trying to tap into and use our behavioral habits against us. With the massive processing capacity available today the military is in a position to design behavior control programs and propaganda having significant impact, and the cost of analyzing and processing this data to find behavioral patterns and processes is decreasing.

It was easy to find documentation proving surveillance is about controlling your behavior, for the purposes of the Empire. The military is producing detailed manuals describing how behavior data gathered from surveillance is to be used by the military and its contractors to modify and control citizen's behavior - yours, mine, and everyone else.  Consider them gifts from the military.  They include the following:

• The 2007 US Department of the Army Field Manual No. 305.301, Psychological Operations Process Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures

• The STP 33-3711-OFS Officer Foundation Standards II Psychological Operations (37A) Officer's Manual, and

• The FM 3-05.2 Foreign Internal Defense Manual.

The 2007 US Department of the Army Field Manual No. 3-05.301, Psychological Operations Process Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures, on page 43 Chapter 2 Phase II: Target Audience Analysis describes the use of surveillance data for behavior change:

“Target audience analysis (TAA) formally begins upon receipt of the Psychological Operations objectives (POs), supporting Psychological Operations objectives (SPOs), and potential target audience list (PTAL). The Target Audience Analysis Model (TAAM) provides the framework by which PSYOP Soldiers identify and study TAs. Using the TAAM, PSYOP soldiers examine the motivations and consequences of behavior to determine how best to influence the TA. The end products of TAA are the PSYOP arguments used (the overall argument and approach to obtain the desired behavior from the TA) and recommended actions that the U.S. military and its allies can take to influence the behavior of selected foreign audiences.  

TAA is the cornerstone of effective PSYOP. To change a group’s behavior, PSYOP Soldiers must understand why the TA behaves as it does. Conducting effective TAA is one of the most vital skills that a PSYOP Soldier can cultivate. PSYOP will be ineffectual or even detrimental to mission accomplishment without this critical analysis of the TA.”

My comments on the abbreviations used:

TAA = target audience analysis is the study of the behavior data of the target audience.  The NSA's surveillance operations provide the critical information needed to understand and design programs to change the behavior of target audiences.  Given the global reach of surveillance, one must assume everyone is a target. 

TA = the target audience, which is you, I and everyone else.  

SPOs = the Supporting Psychological Operations objectives is simply military speak for changing our behavior to do their bidding.

• extremists may be gaining new recruits by playing on their fears about several emergent issues. The economic downturn and the election of the first African American president present unique drivers for right wing radicalization and recruitment.

• the consequences of a prolonged economic downturn—including real estate foreclosures, unemployment, and an inability to obtain credit—could create a fertile recruiting environment for right wing extremists and even result in confrontations between such groups and government authorities similar to those in the past.

• extremists have capitalized on the election of the first African American president, and are focusing their efforts to recruit new members, mobilize existing supporters, and broaden their scope and appeal through propaganda.

• The current economic and political climate has some similarities to the 1990s when right wing extremism experienced a resurgence fueled largely by an economic recession, criticism about the outsourcing of jobs, and the perceived threat to U.S. power and sovereignty by other foreign powers.

• During the 1990s, these issues contributed to the growth in the number of domestic righ-wing terrorist and extremist groups and an increase in violent acts targeting government facilities, law enforcement officers, banks, and infrastructure sectors.

• Growth of these groups subsided in reaction to increased government scrutiny as a result of the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing and disrupted plots, improvements in the economy, and the continued U.S. standing as the preeminent world power.

• The possible passage of new restrictions on firearms and the return of military veterans facing significant challenges reintegrating into their communities could lead to the potential emergence of terrorist groups or lone wolf extremists capable of carrying out violent attacks.

• Rightwing extremism in the United States can be broadly divided into those groups, movements, and adherents that are primarily hate-oriented (based on hatred of particular religious, racial or ethnic groups), and those that are mainly antigovernment, rejecting federal authority in favor of state or local authority, or rejecting government authority entirely. It may include groups and individuals that are dedicated to a single issue, such as opposition to abortion or immigration.

• Proposed imposition of firearms restrictions and weapons bans likely would attract new members into the ranks of right-wing extremist groups, as well as potentially spur some of them to begin planning and training for violence against the government. The high volume of purchases and stockpiling of weapons and ammunition by right wing extremists in anticipation of restrictions and bans in some parts of the country continue to be a primary concern to law enforcement.

• Returning veterans possess combat skills and experience that are attractive to right wing extremists.

Their conduct undermines all forms of freedom and is being systematically spread throughout the globe, emboldening the officials of smaller states to conduct themselves in the same manner as the Brotherhood of Darkness.  Lining up behind this malignant virus are the supporters of the Trans Pacific Plague, an agreement negotiated in complete secrecy to systematically strip entire societies of their right to protect themselves, their children and their environment.

It is not difficult to see governments cannot do the job they were elected to do and perhaps never intended to do in the first place no matter what they said to get elected. Worldwide they have failed to maintain continual employment, growth in wages, our education systems, in many countries health care for everyone, they cannot keep us from wars, they are not protecting the environment, and have sold out to corporations and wealthy individuals to rape the world’s resources for their own gain.  The public is unhappy about it and so they should be, which is the real reason governments want to control their behavior. 

Historically tyrants beat or murdered their citizens so they would submit to the tyrant's wishes.  Governments have decided to corrupt citizens minds with lies and deception - propaganda first and allow unregulated police brutality and militarization to remind us that objecting to official conduct has severe consequences. 

There is no question that mentally ill people murdering innocent people is a scourge, and a problem we must strive to fix.  In this time of debate about gun control, history offers a valuable perspective.  The refugees in these images are fleeing nations in which the people are not armed and are unable to become so.

Governments and their militaries have proven to be a greater threat to freedom and liberty than legions of those who are mentally ill.  While no one should ever want to resolve disputes militarily, the right to bear arms is not something you have to look back to the founding fathers to understand and take direction on.  As pointed out in an earlier quote by Richard Feynman, we are at the beginning of time for the human race, and now you have inherited responsibility for founding that future.  At least one nation of people somewhere in the world must have the ability to stand up to all forms of oppression by corrupt governments to ensure the entire world does not fall prey to tyranny.

Instead of relying on the news media to spew doctored views of the world, ask the significant number of American citizens who own guns and who rush out to buy more whenever government threatens action to limit their purchase or take them away, if they also feel the greatest threat to their future is terrorists in their midst or their government.  Then ask them if any government, their own included, moves to take away their freedom or harm their children what action they are willing to take. 

American gun owners' honest answers are the simple truth of the matter, nothing else. Do not assume for one moment that the 40% of Americans that own guns are delusional and cannot sense the tremors in society that are occurring with the conduct their government tries to conceal at every turn.

If you get to the bottom of the middle east situation you will find its cause is control of their oil and expansion of military power.  Now ask those gun owners one more question, if their government came in and bombed their neighborhoods, killed their children, and spread lies to provoke fights and discord with their neighbors, how would they react?  I suspect their answers will not be all that different than those of the victims of these actions in the countries the US and other NATO countries attack.  The same was true of American government conduct in Vietnam (link).

As much as it may concern you to accept it, America is one of the few countries that has gun owners and the NRA to offer at least some kind of a counterbalancing force to corruption in government.  However it is almost a certainty that in addition to militarizing the police, the Empire will find an excuse in direct violation of the American constitution to deploy the army in the streets, exhibiting an overwhelming superiority in weaponry. 

Control The Illusion

way out of. Foreign policy creates hornets' nests recruits are thrown into. That experience convinces them there are real enemies out there, as long as they never see the idiots hammering the hornet's nests. The truth is anyone can be made to be an enemy if you bully, threaten and rob them for long enough. That is why the military restricts so many sites that disclose what they and the government are really up to.

American foreign policy is destabilizing the entire world, and they are trying to create a world of enemies, with military personnel so completely indoctrinated that central command can use them to try and bash the entire world into their vision of reality.  But there is one huge problem.  It's all a lie, and you cannot build any kind of great nation on lies, intimidation, political and corporate corruption, and the spread of human destruction. 

History shows nations built on these foundations always fail. They can create hell on earth for a while though, as the US and its allies are already doing for the thousands of people in boats and traveling overland with their families. Or like people in Cuba living under an embargo forever.  Cuba is an interesting lesson.  They have a decent health care system without the great winning God of American policy helping them.  How is that possible?  Does not all that is great and wonderful come from America? Or is the constant fear of the financial cost of illness and disability just another way to subjugate American citizens to the tyranny of market forces? 

That is not to say other nations have not contributed to the destruction of humanity for similar purposes.  But, as the people gloating over Donald Trump's loss in Iowa show, the hatred for someone bragging they are winners, they never lose and everyone else is stupid and a loser really comes back to bite the braggart.  Trumps ego and hubris could well sink him in the long run.

There was a time when America was the nation of Superman, Buck Rogers and John Wayne.  Not anymore.  It is now just one dangerous parody forcing its will on the world, in a time when it has the tools and the capacity to be so much more. That is not to say a strong military is not desirable.  It is, but in my opinion, great societies should advance on their massive capacity to invent, create educated and upwardly mobile citizens, and leave everyone else in their dust with how well the entire nation is doing.  Advanced weaponry is part of the mix.  Attacking a state like that should be simple suicide.
