Unremitting deceit from leadership is killing the country

How desperate, exhausted and thoroughly dispirited are the American people today?
American leaders in the public and private sectors have all but destroyed the nation with their lies, false hope and massive frauds. However, few analysts and advisers it seems are aware of the cost and consequences of constantly deceiving and ABUSING the people.
There is only so much false hope, broken promise and outright deceit a nation can take before it becomes completely dispirited and dejected. The latest news of yet another broken Obama promise -- this time the troop withdrawal from Iraq; 50,000 ‘re-classified’ troops will remain -- is as welcome today as a salmonella peanut butter sandwich!
Everyone seems to have forgotten that nations are made up of vastly different people that must be united in constructive purpose, spirit and IDEAL, not herded with fear mongering or other destructive methods of social control favoured by conservatives.
Even the most fervent Obama supporters feel betrayed and dejected by the latest broken pledge -- troop withdrawal from Iraq was a cornerstone policy of Obama’s now pot-holed road to power; he may as well be a white Republican for all the lies, deceit and broken promises! Things must ‘change’ …, indeed!
The ideology of greed, selfishness and callous indifference has indeed proven to be the demise of not only the economy but the entire United States – a nation now in the past tense of history!
How is it possible that no one foresaw what is painfully obvious to outside observers – the COST to the NATION of fragmented, fractured, hypocritical policies and FLAGRANT double standards! Poison ‘sermons’ from the pulpits of exclusivists do not a tenable or enduring nation make!
Few on the inside are able to see clearly as they are ‘immersed’ in their own shit! The hopes of a nation have already been sold to money-lenders and mercantile parasites. The people are now confronted with a fully manipulated government bailing out the private sector with public money when it is CLEAR that insider criminals should be held accountable NOT indulged or encouraged to persist in their folly!
Restoring national sovereignty and eliminating the failed, private banking sector is clearly required, however, the reaction of the American people to the most outrageous and brazen rip-offs in American history has been whipped-dog complacency – it seems the loss of personal investments and super schemes is not enough to stir the population into action or trigger lucid thinking and rational responses. With no real resistance to their outrageous ‘solutions’ (of robbing public funds) bankers have ordered puppet politicians to transfer the last portion of public assets into Wall St coffers – how does it feel, people?
People in other nations have demonstrated in the streets, besieged their capitals and demanded that they be treated in the same manner as banker elites. And why shouldn’t they, three percent of the population controlling 90% of available wealth is OUTRAGEOUS and an INTOLERABLE situation? But not a whimper or murmur from the sheeple of America. The American national will has been completely destroyed, much to the delight of competitor nations vying for global dominance.
Nations require viable ideologies, clear directions and purpose. The British Empire succeeded for hundreds of years because Britons, including the lowliest foot-soldier, clearly understood and could participate in the greater glory of Empire -- fighting for King, country and Empire was vocational for hundreds of years. British soldiers fought for an expanding Empire and were not troubled/weakened by mixed, contradictory messages from their leaders. Ideology and reality meshed completely and the Empire prospered for a relatively long historical period.
Contrast the UNDISGUISED, single-minded pursuits of the British Empire with the appalling LIES and HYPOCRISIES of America today!
Killing over one million civilians and attempting to justify that holocaust by naming it an exercise in spreading ‘liberty and democracy’ is absurd and incredulous to the extreme – THE ENTIRE WORLD, including the American people KNOW it’s a LIE!
Attempting to justify an illegal war with the excuse of removing an ‘evil dictator’ becomes self-incriminating when the numbers of murdered are compared -- America is directly and indirectly RESPONSIBLE for at least three times the civilian deaths attributed to former dictator Saddam Hussein; nevertheless, that ‘minor’ fact did not stop Cheney’s Halliburton and other private contractors from making billions from the suffering of countless innocents. When Congress requested accurate auditing figures private contractors were unable to supply accurate data! Why should they if former Secretary of Defence, Rumsfeld, openly admitted he couldn’t account for a staggering 2.3 trillion dollars in Defence Department spending! Only the American people tolerate such flagrant mismanagement and obvious misappropriation of funds.
The performances of imbecile neocons in power was absurd to the extreme – in all recorded history never have so many puppets, psychopaths and incompetents in high office been so clearly exposed as thieves, idiots and lunatics, but no action was taken at the time. The Obama administration is clearly avoiding the issue and is obviously loath to pursue the KNOWN, self-confessed, CRIMINALS of the former regime! Another wound to the heart of the nation!
The effect these contradictions, hypocrisies, LIES and DECEITS are having on the population is severe – an accurate analogy would be a cowering, whipped dog! The entire outside world sees what self-serving elites cannot; a ‘plague’ infecting and killing the ENTIRE nation!
Imagine if British fighting men (or Roman Legions) had been CONSTANTLY lied to about the objectives and goals of the many wars they waged. It is highly unlikely these Empires would have persisted for hundreds of years if the people had been fed obvious lies and mixed messages. They conquered, plundered and bathed in the glory of their deeds – no contradictions or deceptions to weaken the collective will, morale or national psyche of two of the most successful Empires in history!
Obama is merely the latest example of a long line of lying puppets doing the bidding of financiers, bankers and transnational corporations. One thing we can all be assured of is that Obama will continue to deceive and renege on promises; after all, who would take him to task, the people are incapable of the most elementary survival response?
