When the government of the United States of America knowingly and continually lies about the biggest threats to Life Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness, why should Americans trust it. When the most negative impacts that affect America and it's citizens are unforced errors committed by the leadership in the U.S., why should Americans have any faith moving forward.
One barrier to Americans losing faith and trust in their leadership is ignorance. Most Americans choose not to know what is going on in their own country or what harm their country is causing around the world. If Americans were paying attention, they would realize that America set the stage for the Russia/Ukraine war back in 2014. It was then that the United States help coup Ukraine's democratically elected government. Most Americans think the conflict between Russia and Ukraine started when Russia invaded Ukraine... The truth is well documented as were the facts about Ukraine having the most corrupt government in Europe while suffering an infestation of neo-Nazi sentiment. Few Americans realize that America's issues with Iran can be trace back to 1953 when the U.S. helped overthrow Iran's democratically elected leader Prime Minister Mohammad Mosaddeg. Few Americans would even consider the idea that the U.S. helped coup Qaddafi after he proposed an African currency backed by gold so Libya and African nations could liberated themselves from the U.S. dollar. Is the pattern becoming apparent? If not, buy my book referenced at the end of every post I write. Links are down below.
The above examples (of which there are many many more) represent the negative causes and affects that American intervention has had worldwide. With these examples one can raise questions like
"Does American interference seem to be leading more towards world peace or more towards World War III?"
You don't have to take my word for it, you can and should do your own research. The problem is that far too FEW Americans do any research at all. Next time you get into a disagreement with an American who seems to rattle off the same talking points as MSNBC or CNN or FOX, ask them where you can see evidence of what they claim that isn't limited to what some anchor said in some panel. Ask them for the source from which said anchor was drawing their knowledge. Ask them for the study, survey, or peer-reviewed paper that forms the basis for their argument. I doubt they'll have anything for you, because they never have when I've asked.
So, let's take a look at how America's leadership has impacted their own citizens. First and probably foremost for most Americans would be the economic impacts caused by American policies. I imagine that topping that list would be the taxes we pay. After all, the Government collects anywhere from 10-22% of the money we earn (working for someone else). Given the trillions of dollars the U.S. Government collects from taxpayers, one would assume that even the poorest Americans would have everything they need to survive. This however is contradicted by the fact that Walmart is offering $2000 dollar loans for various lengths if time at 18% interest for groceries. And, the increasing number of Americans facing food insecurity is another indicator that Americans can't get the food they need to survive. How about housing? In America homelessness is also increasing at an evermore alarming rate. When corporations are allowed to drive the cost of single-family homes up to where few if any Americans can afford them, there is only one entity that can put a halt to such immoral and unsustainable behavior. In this case, only a government can address and rectify this obvious problem. And, while there was a bill presented in Congress to make it illegal for corporations to buy up single-family homes and to require that these corporations sell off some of their existing inventory, it remains to been seen if it will Garner any support from either of the two useless parties. So, Americans right to Life is under threat of starvation and exposure, in what other ways are our rights being trampled? How is American Liberty looking these days? Well, when Obama signed the NDAA ( you look it up), we lost our right to Habeas Corpus. All the government has to do is claim you're a terrorist (with little evidence) and POOF, your rights to security in your own home are gone. No warrant needed or something close to that. Here read this. So, American leaders are NOT protecting our rights to Life nor Liberty. Are they fighting for our right to Pursue Happiness? I would think that, to be happy, one would have to be healthy. I know I'm never happiest or even happy when I'm sick with COVID, especially after being mandated to take the vaccine or face unemployment. And, even though COVID symptoms only present like a very bad cold today, it still suck the happiness right out of my body for about two weeks. It is with this anecdotal evidence that I can say that there is no way a person with a chronic or terminal illness can find true happiness. And given the fight that so many have to endure to receive treatment or cures, I doubt their right to Happiness is being defended. How could anyone think a Government that allows its citizen's health be dependent upon a place if employment really cares about its citizens"s Happiness. Americans must rely on a place at which they only spend and average of eight out of 24 hours for their healthcare and their Happiness by extension. If you're still wondering, NO the government of the United States of America is not protecting any rights upon which this country was founded. And, with all of the illegal immigrants coming from countries that America helped ruin, can one even say America's security is even being strengthened within its borders? It's one thing to have Americans who were born in America complain about illegal immigration. The Main Stream Media will simply say their complaints are rooted in racism. It's a completely different story when LEGAL IMMIGRANTS are complaining about the influx of Illegal immigrants. The racism card doesn't hold the same weight that corporately-owned news station wish it held.
In the end, one must question whether one's government truly represents one's best interests. One must then question what their government is doing with all of one's tax dollars. It feels more and more like our government is collecting taxes to simply pay for their salaries but nothing else. I know, I'm not getting anything for the money I pay to the Federal Government... Are you?
In 2018, I wrote a book highlighting the problems Humanity would face if more power, wealth, and control was funneled to a small group of elite individuals, groups, or organizations. In my book, I provided solutions (from myself and others) to the inevitable problems and also a means for the Public to analyze, compare, and contrast the words and deeds of those we choose to follow against reality. In my book Solutions: Enough complaining. Let's fix America.
In "Solutions...", I provide the means for readers to disseminate information as provided by their news sources of choice, their elected officials, and any other authority they choose to follow. The book also offers a means to hold their leaders up, not just to a higher standard than is currently accepted but to one that would improve their lives and the lives of those for whom they care.
