Americans voting on Tuesday are dangerous because the grand majority of them will be voting unconsciously for continuing genocidal wars, which, as Martin Luther King cried out one year to the day before he received a bullet to his head), "are meant to maintain unjust predatory investments on three continents." America's interests abroad' is what this overwhelming majority of those voting will understand as protecting American freedom at home.

These voters are deadly dangerous to Mankind, because they are so easily suckered into voting for widespread death and destruction, even simultaneously in many defenseless nations. Most continue to be easily fooled into not noticing the genocidal chaos that their government has intentionally created over the last few decades with secret funding of fundamentalist terror. All this death created in order to more fully exploit a divided people. "A financial element in the centers of power that has owned the government since the days of Andrew Jackson" has created civil war after civil war in Asia, Africa and Latin America almost always followed by American bombings, invasions and military occupation wars. [FDR in a letter to colleague in 1932]

American voters are so dangerous because too many of them are depressed, despairing and unhappy for having been subjected lifelong to pysop inculcating graceless, unnatural, and self-destructive commercial values, heralding egoism, and the idea of 'making' as much money as possible and getting ahead of as many people as possible. In a violent materialist society, Americans appear to be fighting their way through existence, as if calamity could bore in at any moment. Desperate men, women and children are a danger even unto themselves, as they acquiesce, approve, support, and participate in the genocide arranged according to maximum profit for the billionaires and millionaires Americans are taught to envy.

In Harold Pinter's 2005 Nobel Prize in Literature acceptance speech, Pinter explained about the death and destruction caused by the United States across the globe. The crimes of the US have been systematic, constant, vicious, remorseless. He went on admonishingly, "[but] It never happened. Nothing ever happened. Even while it was happening it wasn't happening. It didn't matter. It was of no interest" Pinter cited this dumbing down of perception and compassion for what is truly 'exceptional' about Americans.
