Is there any doubt that the US Government is looking for even more wars? (see excerpt below) The U.S. continually fans the flames of enmity with the enemies it’s created and seems bent on being at war not only with the smaller Islamic States around the globe but seems to be hell bent on pushing it’s International peers to the brink as well. Crap, they don’t even mind demeaning their “so called” allies and friends by spying on them and telling them what they can and can’t do as well.
The US has been using this self proclaimed idea of “American Exceptionalism” as an excuse to push it’s neighbors around for many decades so it should come as no surprise that many of them are getting fed up and starting push back. But pushing back doesn’t set well with the US Oligarchy which has been used to getting it’s way pretty much all the time. The majority of the governments patriotic subjects not only do not resist but many readily endorse their governments imperialistic urges. Having indoctrinated the American people with this idea of American Exceptionalism for generations, there’s little resistance.
I remember the first time I heard the phrase “American Exceptionalism” used by a President, it was Barrack Obama. I know the idea has been purported for many decades or even centuries. Some of our founders believed in the idea of Manifest Destiny which, is really, in my opinion, no different than what the European Monarchies purported for centuries, the idea of Divine Right which, was pretty much Carte Blanche for doing whatsoever their little hearts desired including seizing property, imposing taxes, taking someone’s wife, at the least and at the most murder and unwarranted wars, needlessly sacrificing thousands and hundreds of thousands of lives.
Below is an excerpt from an editorialist on TheDailyBell.com and I think he hits the nail right on the head. It’s funny (not) how so many Americans are repulsed by the events created by the rise and reign of Nazism in Germany during the 30’s and 40’s and yet they are completely unaware of what precipitated that rise and are unable to recognize that the very same conditions are occurring in America right before their eyes.
Paul Craig Roberts
Washington has had the US at war for 12 years: Afghanistan, Iraq, Somalia, Libya, Pakistan, Yemen and almost Syria, which could still happen, with Iran waiting in the wings. These wars have been expensive in terms of money, prestige and deaths and injuries of both US soldiers and the attacked civilian populations. None of these wars appears to have any compelling reason or justifiable explanation. The wars have been important to the profits of the military/security complex. The wars have provided cover for the construction of a Stasi police state in America… – See more at: http://www.thedailybell.com/editorials/34850/Paul-Craig-Roberts-Washington-Drives-the-World-Toward-War/
I ask people all the time, “What gives the U.S. the moral right to tell another sovereign nation that they can’t have nukes to protect themselves and only we, the U.S., has the moral superiority to possess weapons of mass destruction to protect itself.” We certainly would not tolerate anyone telling us any such thing and yet we think nearly all of the other nations on the planet should take whatever medicine we give them and kiss our pinking ring while their at it.
The US has been the perpetrator of endless, unconstitutional wars, wherein they were not attacked by those whom they attacked. How can anyone, especially those who call themselves “Christian” and profess to live in a Christian Nation, justify such an obviously immoral policy such as “preemptive war”? So much for turning the other cheek or living peaceably with all men, as much as is possible.
The worst thing of all is, for those of us who can see what’s happening and are experiencing an unprecedented erosion of our liberty, we cannot understand how so many others can’t see it or just won’t see it and are willing to just give in to the rise of a Stasi police state in the land of the free and do nothing.
If the U.S. Government continues, as it has, unchecked and unchallenged, it’s pretty much hopeless but let it not be said that I did not push back and do all that I could to stop the onslaught of the stealing of my and my family’s freedom which I would define as living my life completely without government interference. I would stand with the founders whose actions conformed to their mantra, “give me liberty or give me death.” Unfortunately it was they who created the government that would one day steal the liberty they died for from their posterity.
Human government always has and always will fail which is why I contend that the answer is Anarcho-Capitalism, at least until the only righteous King has come. If you believe such things. Do the research. Learn the truth about what Anarcho-Capitalism is and is not. I would recommend starting with LewRockwell.com and go from there.
