I’m writing this because this subject was closed. I’m writing this because so many people from other nations come to me saying, “I thought Americans were angels” They tell me they don’t understand why they can not get medical care, why they live in poverty and squalor. I was married to an Arab, and he got mad at me because America is the way it is. I think he thought our streets were paved in solid gold and studded with diamonds. Yea, if you’re at the top you’ve got it good. But the regular person struggles everyday. We have incorporated in the very culture mechanisms to keep certain peoples where they are. Not all of us are bad but I think what is really important is to understand that America is full of people. And people can be good or bad. I wouldn’t say that our dominate culture is a wonderful fantastic culture. I’ve lived in many parts of the world and I wish we were open minded enough to export some of the better qualities that some other cultures have and drop a few of our very negative qualities.
I wish I could tell you that America would take care of Mongolia. But, for the most part, the people who control America care about power and money. We don’t even take care of our own people. We are extremely ethno-centric (America first). We haven’t had a very good track record of taking care of countries we’ve put bases in. We know how to torture, and abuse like the best of them and then we cover it up to look good. I don’t know if you all realize it but there were no weapons of mass destruction. Yet we went in to Iraq, and even Colin Powell who was secretary of state resigned because he didn’t want to be a part of this horrible thing we are doing. He said we don’t belong in Iraq; we don’t even have a military objective.
We have groups of people in this country who are marginalized. If you don’t believe me then please, come visit us Native Americans in our reservations. Don’t be fooled into believing everything is honky dory in the states because we have a black president. We have a horrible history of abusing all kinds of people here in America. We are sucking the Earth dry. We use more energy than any other nation on Earth. I forgot the percentage of all Earths resources we use. Something like 75%. That doesn’t leave a whole lot for anyone else does it?
Personally, if America puts bases in Mongolia, it will be to secure your precious ores, or whatever else you have to keep up our enormous expenditure of Earths energy at your expense.
On the up side, us so called first world countries are devastating the world at such an exhaustive rate, that within 50 years there will be nothing left to sustain our way of life. There are many books written by scientist about how we have killed off more species of animal etc.in this century than ever in the history of the Earth. We are at the point where there will be no more oil. We can not make the kinds of energy we use at our extensive exhaustive rate even with alternative energy. You see we live in a fake human made up system that is not sustainable. Eventually, the bubble will break and I truly believe that all of us so called first world nations are going to fall and I mean hard. We are going to be like the mighty Aztec nation that fell in ancient Mexico because they didn’t have the sense to care for the Earth.
To be honest, if we don’t totally devastate the Earth, the only peoples that well exist will be the ones that kept their traditions and know how to live in harmony.
Many many blessings
