the coming bankruptcy of America Lateline - Australia
Edited on Thu Mar-02-06 10:57 AM by whirlygigspin
"I would say that, in the long run, the world will be saved American despotism by the coming bankruptcy of the country.
Now, that will have awful fallout for everybody. I don't even want to look into that crystal ball."
--Gore Vidal

1. It's true. Soon the US won't be able to reach out across the world
for good or for evil. As a person who believed that the US was once the repository for ideals, the opportunity lost by a bankrupt, weakened country saddens me. As a person who sees what the US has become and is actually doing, it seems like all for the best.

5. Yup, the ole repuke strategy hasn't changed at all, but many still
refuse to see. They know the only way to shove their "corporate utopia" down our throats is to ensure there is no alternative.
BTW this is one of the most consistently ignored actions the cabal has taken. The appointed directors of virtually every department is a former executive from a competing corporation, and they have spent the last 5 years destroying their agencies from the inside to prepare for the "privatization scheme".

3. The American Dream was sold in the 80's, it just takes awhile for
a transaction that large to be implemented. We will soon be a nation of indentured sheep, grinding away for the corporate masters, waiting for the next shearing.
