The Godfather USA

[Master Mahon]

In spite of the source, this has got to be one of the best summaries of
US foreign policy since the 1940's that I've come accross.
There may not me much new here, but it's quite awesome to see it all
neatly compiled into one well written source, and how all the pieces fit so neatly together. This one's a keeper!

From early childhood, US citizens are raised on a steady diet of pro-US government propaganda that is fed to them at school and at home through the media of television, radio, newspapers, magazines, books, and popular music. The propaganda presents the US government as an ethically superior exemplar of justice for the entire world, as an exceptionally generous contributor to global economic development, and as a benevolent arbiter of world affairs. Furthermore, a great deal of crucial information about US political history, particularly regarding events of the past half-century, is not taught in US schools and is never allowed to appear in the Mainstream Media outlets.

According to the US Census report of 1998, 12.7% of the US population lives in poverty, 15.7% lack health insurance, and at least 38% of the wealth in the USA is owned by just one percent of the US population. The personal wealth of Microsoft CEO Bill Gates exceeds that of the total combined wealth of the poorest 45% of US households, which amounts to at least 133 million people. The USA has the highest concentration of individual wealth in all of the industrialized nations, and about three times that of the second-placed nation for concentrated wealth, which is Germany. The USA also leads the world in the number of its citizens who are incarcerated in prisons: one out of seventy-five US males are in prison, of whom 68% belong to racial or ethnic minorities. As of 2003, 12% of the USA’s black males in their twenties were living in prison, compared to 3.7% of the USA’s Hispanic males and 1.6% of the USA’s white males.

1. Sounds like the author is upset his side lost the Cold War

Better luck next time, eh comrade?

But fantasies of political reform are for dreamers, because corruption is the way of the world. For their own personal good, concerned citizens should study the secret history of the USA, and share that knowledge with those who will listen. And if they are ethical they should avoid, in every way possible, supporting the US government.
Right away comrade!

Democrat William Jefferson Clinton, who supported the CIA’s Iran/Contra drugs and arms smuggling through the airport at Mena, Arkansas while he was Governor of that State.
Now he's just making things up........

2. RE:Now he's just making things up

Granted most of the stuff he speaks of is unverifiable, but much of it's been known for decades, even before the fall of Russia. As far as
Clinton and drug dealing through the airport at Mena, Arkansas, this is an old story. Talk to any good Clinton hater and they'll fill you in on all the details. I've read some pretty convincing stuff regarding this topic.

We would be kidding ourselves if we didn't realize that only the 'chosen' get to be president in the US and our votes have little to do with that as sad as that may seem.

3. Yes, that is so. Still I bet the author is an unreconstructed apologist

for the USSR. He just wishes Americans had revolted 30 years ago and called on the Soviet Union to "liberate" them. I know that a good deal of what he states in true, its just much of it was done to contain the USSR.

Sour grapes from a country where the male life expectancy at birth has dropped below 60.
