The USA is a mostly failed political experiment. It ended in 1947 when Truman signed the National Security Act (and essentially abolished the Constitution). 

It’s failure was twofold. The first which must be addressed here is the obvious: racism. This is a psychological and spiritual cancer which was never addressed and never understood by the overwhelming majority of both the government and the people until it was too late to reverse the damage. There is almost no aspect of the USA that is not contaminated by this.

It may yet be another century before any real healing can be applied. What’s ironic is that the solutions are remarkably simple. The only problem is human unwillingness to apply a simple act of will to adjust a paradigm of thought. The disease is too firmly entrenched,a nod supported not only by sociopathic rhetoric, but by an economic infrastructure (and by default, legislation).

The second is usury. All banking of any possible description is based entirely on usury. All banks can be summed up thus: create worthless money out of nothing, loan it out at interest (and use real wealth as collateral against an essentially unplayable loan), charge fees to hold people’s money, use this money to earn money through usury based investments, and charge people another fee to give them their own money back to them. 

The founding fathers largely saw this coming, and warned us about it. When privately owned banking corporations insinuated themselves into the government, the USA began to die. The Federal Reserve Act of 1913 was a crippling blow, and was the beginning of the end, because the economic power of the USA was handed over to a privately owned corporation. The situation got progressively worse over the next century, including the citizens of the USA being used as collateral against loans to the government.

Which brings us to the inevitable question of loss of freedom. It’s indisputable that our constitutional freedoms have been eroded. Executive orders issued almost nonstop from both sides of the bicameral assembly have systematically superseded every article in the bill of rights. And police brutality, augmented by militarization, has exacerbated the problem to the point where the National Safety Council has stated that a US citizen is eight times more likely to be killed by a police officer than by a terrorist attack. The reason for this is actually simple. The leadership of the USA (government and private sector; which are becoming indistinguishable) is enmeshed in an entirely unworkable system that is doomed to failure. The only way to sustain this is through totalitarian methods. In general, the Huxleyan “Brave New World” method (dictatorship supported by drugs, entertainment, sexual deviance, and genetic engineering [still in its infancy; but signs point to its possible institution) is used. When this fails, the Orwellian “1984” method is applied (endless war, privation, unlimited torture and brainwashing, etc.). Honest appraisal of all governments in the world show this to be true to one degree or another.  If we don’t see this, these methods have been successful.

This is something the people of the USA never understood and have been brainwashed to find absolutely incomprehensible: other countries were invaded and bombed. Ours was sold.
