What the U.S. Offers...

The only things the U.S. can offer are weapons, violence and destruction.

And those weapons will be used for the industrial criminals that have owned this country’s government for over a century. They will do everything in their power to deny global warming and they will use the media, which they own, to deny the overwhelming scientific evidence and the terrifying and life-threatening disasters right in front of our own eyes, such as the earth’s rapidly melting glacial ice. They pay corporate media whores up to twenty five million dollars to spread their lies. Unfortunately, millions of uninformed Americans believe drug addicts, like Rush Limbaugh and others like him, instead of the scientists. Why? As Richard Hofstadter wrote in his Pulitzer Prize winning book, Anti-Intellectualism in American Life, “…there is a sweeping hostility to intellectuals expressed on the far-right wing, a categorical folkish dislike of the educated classes.”
