i'm sick of how ignorant my second-home country, the united states of america, is towards other cultures, the international procession of the world across the ocean, and particularly to the military-industrial complex president eisenhower warned us about in his farwell address to jfk's election. i find it interesting how jfk's assassination fits into the vietnamise increase in combat. it took 4 days for the policy in vietnam to change after jack's death.
have we not learned anything from history? are we doomed to our war industry? will halliburton run our foreign policy and dealing with other nations from other cultures? what if world peace is an economic inconvenience? how can we give these people jobs? (we sure as fuck could improve public transit and park building, roads and communications, even nursing, maybe language translating; if our world is to move forward it is crucial that we can understand each other on a global level as equals).
i won't tolerate a world war 3 over israel and palestine or north and south korea. i won't hide the fact that millions of african citizens are dying of aids and starvation on an annual basis. i want our government to account for the victims of new orleans who still have no homes and nothing to claim. where is this change obama speaks of? we are still being wiretapped, gays still cannot marry or have children and innocent soldiers are being misled into a globalist economic policy to bring coke, mcdonalds and free-market companies into iraq and the eastern world. the iraqi citizens aren't protesting american peace and freedom - they are protesting neo-colonialist and corporate policies that will force their culture, traditions and identity behind money, commercialism and exploitation: the very kind of exploitation we americans and canadians face by our stock market traders, our congress and parliament, our executive leaders have become puppets to a world bank and globalist debt agenda designed to keep our wealthy continue to develop while our poor face worsening conditions.
in my first year of english at ryerson university, i was taught the marxist principles of modernism. my professor told me that through the development of capitalism, the communists predicted that a grand revolution would overthrow the principles that bound the poor, as in the French revolution, the American revolution, and countless others - however, the true theorists of Marx's studies believed that the grand revolution had not yet happened. I can't help but think that they were right, as whatever revolution we face now has to face the exploitations on a global level. Perhaps it will only be until Africa, the "middle-east" and Indian and Chinese citizens consult the defects of our system that our views will change.
We have to shed our fears on the exploits of our media and government, a corporate entity created by our people to serve our interests. As with many corporations, the initial focus changes and the principles shift. At the same time, it will only be until the first-world countries protest against this money-laundering that the policies change like Obama portrayed they would.
I am worried for our fellow Muslim nations that their needs will be exploited by Obama's opinions simply due to the fact that he once lived in Indonesia. I feel that we, as North Americans, have a larger duty to understand the Muslim world and Eastern world beyond our colonialist and first-world perspectives. I'm not saying that profiteering is bad and that money is root of all evil- people are the root of all evil. Money is just a tool of creation by humanity.
The 1948 Johnson election was stolen.
