The United States is the single biggest military spender in the world, with a higher 2020 expenditure than the next ten countries combined. Its infrastructure has been described to be in disrepair since the late 1980s.

The United States is a nation state in North America, bordering Canada and Mexico. A 2014 scientific study (the only one to date)[1] concluded that the US is an oligarchy, notwithstanding democratic window-dressing, which was actually backed in verbatim by former president Jimmy Carter[2]. A 2017 poll found that the biggest fear of US citizens was "corrupt government officials".[3] A 2018 poll revealed that most US citizens were aware that the government was controlled by the group referred to here as the "US deep state".[4]

Official Narrative

Full article: US Deep State
The Deep State is Real, Here's Why it Matters

The USA ("Home of the brave... land of the free") is democratic country, with a duly elected leadership which governs from Washington DC and represents the wishes of the people of he USA. Anything you may read or hear about the US Deep state is "fake news". i.e. "There is no American Deep State... it just looks like there is."[5]

Foreign Policy

Full article: US/Foreign policy

US Foreign policy is an altruistic activity designed to promote global wellbeing. The "war on terror" is designed to rid the world of "terrorism" and "failed states", which necessitate the rollback of civil liberties and increasing use of measures such as torture, "targeted killings" and universal surveillance to keep the population safe.

Hypocrisy

How The U.S. Stole the Middle East

UN Laws

The US was one of the two countries to vote against labeling food as a human right at the UN. The draft also expressed alarm that the number of people lacking access to adequate food rose by 320 million to 2.4 billion in 2020 – nearly one-third of the world's population. The US still refused to even sign it in 2021, during the height of the Covid Lockdown. The only other country was Israel.[6]

The US is also the only country to not have ratified the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child.[7]

Deep State

Full article: Rated 5/5 US/Deep state

Deep State forces have had a major influence in US politics since as least the mid 19th century. The JFK Assassination was a seminally important event in the evolution of the modern US deep state. This fused a working alliance of businessmen, deep politicians and other criminals into a group that Mark Gorton calls "the cabal". This group has controlled almost all subsequent US presidents. During the 1970s, this was outsourced to avoid congressional scrutiny. Under the leadership of George H. W. Bush, it become the supranational deep state.

Awareness of corruption

Full article: US/Corruption
RepresentUs Channel.

In 2014, 75% of Americans perceived corruption in the US government as "widespread", up from 66% in 2009.[8] Policies such as civil asset forfeiture have been widely criticised even from within the government.[9]

Society

US society has been subject to the attention of social engineers.

Work

"The United States is practically the only developed country in the world that doesn't require companies to give their workers time off... Many American workers must keep on working through public holidays, and vacation days often go unused."

Police State

Full article: US/Police state

As the "war on terrorism" progresses, with the associated extrajudicial detentions, torture and assassinations, a range of commentators are increasingly coming to see the USA as a de facto police state.[11][12][13][14] The US imprisons more of its population, both as a percentage and in absolute terms, than any other nation.

Health

Both the physical and mental health of US citizens seems to be in decline, with unprecedented levels of chronic illnesses being reported, especially among millenials.[15]

Drug use

Use of opioid pain killers is widespread in USA; in 2011, an estimated 4 million people in the United States used opioids recreationally or were dependent on them[16] and drug overdose has become now the leading cause of death for US residents under the age of 50.[17] As of December 2017, the USA was the only country apart from the New Zealand that allow prescription drug companies to advertise on television.[18] In 2017, around 1/8 of the US population were reportedly addicted to alcohol.[19]

COVID-19

COVID-19 has been in the United States.

Exports

Arms Production

The US sold more weapons from 2012-2016, ahead of fellow permanent members of the UN Security Council, Russia, China and the France.[20]

The United States military is one of the biggest polluters on earth.[21][22]

2021“In a blunt opening statement before the talks in private, Mr Anthony Blinken said the US would "discuss our deep concerns with actions by China, including in Xinjiang, Hong Kong, Taiwan, cyber attacks on the United States, economic coercion of our allies". "Each of these actions threaten the rules-based order that maintains global stability," he said. In response, Mr Yang Jiechi accused Washington of using its military might and financial supremacy to suppress other countries. "It abuses so-called notions of national security to obstruct normal trade exchanges, and incite some countries to attack China," he added. Mr Yang said human rights in the US were at a low point, with black Americans being "slaughtered".”March 2021BBC

Al Capone“This American system of ours ... call it Americanism, call it capitalism, call it what you like, gives to each and every one of us a great opportunity if we only seize it with both hands and make the most of it.”Al Capone1930
George Carlin“It's the old American Double Standard, ya know: Say one thing, do something' different. And of course, this country is founded on the double standard, that's our history! We were founded on a very basic double standard: This country was founded by slave owners who wanted to be free. Am I right? A group of slave owners who wanted to be free! So they killed a lot of white English people, in order to continue owning their black African people, so they could wipe out of the rest of the red Indian people, so they move west and steal the rest of the land from the brown Mexican people, giving them a place to take off and drop their nuclear weapons on the yellow Japanese people. You know what the motto of this country ought to be? "You give us a color, we'll wipe it out!"”George Carlin
George Carlin“Living in this country, you're bound to know, every time you're exposed to advertising, you realize once again that America's leading industry, America's most profitable business is still: the manufacture, packaging, distribution and marketing of bullshit. High-quality, grade-A, prime-cut, pure, American bullshit. And the sad part is, is that most people seem to have been indoctrinated to believe that bullshit only comes from certain places, certain sources: advertising, politics, salesmen – not true. Bullshit is everywhere. Bullshit is rampant. Parents are full of shit, teachers are full of shit, clergymen are full of shit, and law enforcement people are full...of...shit – this entire country. This entire country is completely full of shit, and always has been. From the Declaration of Independence to the Constitution to the Star-Spangled Banner, it's still nothing more than one big steaming pile of red, white and blue, all-American bullshit. Because, think of how we started. Think of that. This country was founded by a group of slave-owners who told us all men are created equal. Oh yeah, all men, except for Indians and niggers and women, right? I always like to use that authentic American language. This was a small group of unelected, white, male, land-holding, slave-owners who also suggested their class be the only one allowed to vote. Now, that is what's known as being stunningly and embarrassingly full of shit. And I think Americans really show their ignorance when they say they want their politicians to be honest. What are these fuckin' cretins talking about? If honesty were suddenly introduced into American life, the whole system would collapse! No one would know what to do! Honesty would fuck this country up!”George Carlin
Jimmy Carter“Nowadays, because of the unwarranted invasion of Iraq by Bush and Blair, which was a completely unjust adventure based on misleading statements, and the lack of any effort to resolve the Palestinian issue, [there is] massive Islamic condemnation of the United States. (...) (American media organisations), have been cowed, because they didn't want to be unpatriotic. There has been a lack of inquisitive journalism. In fact, it's hard to think of a major medium in the United States that has been objective and fair and balanced, and critical when criticism was deserved”Jimmy Carter2004
China“The US believes a suspected Chinese surveillance balloon that was shot down over its territory is part of a wider fleet that has spanned five continents.

"The United States was not the only target of this broader programme," Secretary of State Antony Blinken said. He added that the US had shared information gathered from the balloon debris with dozens of other countries. China has denied the balloon was being used for spying purposes, and says it was a weather device blown astray. US officials have described the balloon as being about 200 ft (60m) tall, with the payload portion comparable in size to regional airliners and weighing hundreds - or potentially thousands - of pounds. Its presence in US airspace set off a diplomatic crisis and prompted Secretary Blinken to immediately call off a trip to China - the first such high level US-China meeting there in years. It was later shot down by a US fighter jet off the eastern coast.

Citing unnamed officials, the Washington Post reported that the US believes the suspected surveillance balloon project was being operated from China's coastal Hainan province and targeted countries including Japan, India, Vietnam, Taiwan and the Philippines.”

DEA/Infiltration“Allegations surrounding a U.S. investigation that may have involved laundering money for Mexican drug cartels are causing concern on both sides of the border.

In Mexico, lawmakers say they are furious and are demanding an investigation. In the United States, a congressman is broadening the oversight of a previous inquiry to include the most recent allegations.

Felipe Gonzalez, a federal senator with Mexico’s ruling PAN party, says they will demand an investigation to determine whether the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration allowed its agents to launder money, possibly even on Mexican soil, as part of an investigation into the inner workings of Mexican drug cartel”

Peggy Noonan“I have come to wonder if we don’t have what amounts to a deep state within the outer state in the U.S. — a deep state consisting of our intelligence and security agencies, which are so vast and far-flung in their efforts that they themselves don’t fully know who’s in charge and what everyone else is doing.”Peggy Noonan28 October 2013
Manuel Noriega“He was a pawn in an international game that was way bigger than him and he certainly paid dearly," said Barbara Trent, a filmmaker who directed "The Panama Deception," a 1992 documentary about the U.S. invasion.

"He was a small-time player catapulted to international fame by the U.S. government and the media to drum up support for a ruthless invasion," Trent added. Working with the CIA Noriega ruled Panama from 1983 to 1989. Before and during that time, he worked with multiple U.S. intelligence agencies who agreed to ignore allegations that he was a drug trafficker in exchange for a staunch anti-communist ally in Central America during the height of the Cold War. Noriega was paid handsomely for his help, about $10,000 per month at one point, according to John Dinges, author of "Our Man in Panama: How General Noriega Used the United States and Made Millions in Drugs and Arms (1990)."

"The relationship with the CIA and the Pentagon was quite intense in the early '80s," Dinges told ABC News. "He was considered an important asset, and everyone in the documents I've read spoke very highly of him. He was trusted to the extent that you trust someone who is a paid intelligence asset.”

US/Deep state“I join with those who assess the decay of the so-called Pax Americana into ever widening arms build-ups and military violence, in the light of the very similar decay a century ago of the so-called Pax Brittanica. We need to rescind policies that are as visibly detrimental to America and the world today as they were to Britain then. The problem is that Amnerican institutions are again in the grip of collective mania, as they were in the Palmer raids of 1919 and the McCarthy persecutions of the early 1950s. People outside government must work for a redirection of the U.S. government away from mania and illegality, like the awakening that ends the McCarthy era. But to regain control of politics, Americans must learn to understand and cope with the dark forces of the deep state. America, I try to suggest at the end [of The American Deep State] has like Britain far more to contribute to the world than violent power.”Peter Dale Scott2015

Abroad 9-11 helped launched wars on Iraq and Afghanistan that had been planned long before.

EventDescription
2022 Russian invasion of UkraineIn a new episode of Cold War 2.0 Russia forcefully halted NATO expansion by invading Ukraine, with financial support of China. Although the EU and US denounced the "war crimes" as multiple cities were bombed, several countries opted less severe sanctions to keep importing diamonds and luxury goods and gas (and their loaned money) from Russia, seemingly creating a new iron curtain in Eastern Europe.
