The Karma of Empire Americana | Philip A. Faruggio

There are many fine historical books by progressive authors describing what our nation has done to other nations, as well as to our own working stiffs. I have read many of these books so as to share with those out there who only study history through the mainstream disinformation media.

There is an outstanding recent book that should be a must read for all who have an open and historically curious mind: The Untold History of the United States by film director Oliver Stone and American University historian Peter J. Kuznick. This book extends the conversation as to the karma created by the Military Industrial Empire, which now bites us in the ass. (Editor's note: The book The Untold History of the United States is a companion to Oliver Stone's Untold History of the United States, a 2012 documentary series directed, produced, and narrated by Stone.)

The media, both mainstream and alternative, constantly reports on the illegal immigration dilemma that has our nation in polarized debate. Most of the conflicts concerning the undocumented (tune into ultra right-winger Lou Dobb’s cable news show any night to get a regular taste) center on the Southwestern states. Yet, no one ever looks at the karma behind this problem. Does anyone out there realize that these Southwestern states, which have much of the illegal immigrant problems, were once part of Mexico? Does anyone in the media ever mention the fact that the United States had rammed itself into these Mexican territories, taking them over under the guise of Manifest Destiny? So, in essence, the Mexicans who sneak across our border are in reality returning to their ancestral homeland. Karma can be a bitch!

Many of the (countless it seems) gambling casinos nationwide are owned by Native American tribes. Of course, the corporate mafia uses many of them as fronts, allowing the Indians some of the profits in return for control. Yet, by law these gambling joints are Indian-owned. One wonders how many of these casinos are located on or near the very land where our U.S. cavalry and Manifest Destiny settlers massacred Indian tribes in centuries past. Karma can certainly be ironic.
