Fuck American sovereignty.
A nation that has willfully violated the sovereignty of almost every other nation on planet Earth has no right to claim it's own sovereignty.

America has spent the past several decades imposing it's system of economic fascism known as capitalism upon the world.

Colombia, almost all of Central and South America, Cuba, Canada, Iraq, Iran, North and South Korea, Vietnam, Laos, The Middle East, India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Europe and the EU, Russia and the former Soviet Union, China. That pretty much spans the globe and I've probably forgotten a few nations.

America went to great, often deadly lengths to willfully violate the sovereignty of those nations. To impose America's fascist system of capitalism upon those nations. To enable our Corporations to have access to their pool of slave labor.

...................................................................................................

Live in a country with a leftist uprising? Plagued by union organizing? Tired of your poor demanding a fair wage and decent working conditions?

Call on America.

With our perfectly corrupt system of democracy, America will arm, train, fund your own fascist government to crush any left wing uprising that plagues your nation.

If need be, America will invite your death squads and train them at the School of the Americas in Georgia to carry out the political assassinations, to kill union organizers, to kill and crush any worker uprising.

Now if only America could figure out how to properly hide those mass graves like the one unearthed recently in Colombia. A mass grave filled with the corpses of political dissenters, union activists, labor leaders etc.

Take heart oh super wealthy elite and reich wing fascists dictators.

America has your back.

America will gladly violate the sovereignty of your nation to install and indoctrinate serfdom and slavery upon your people. American corporations eagerly await access to the pool of slave labor known as your citizenry. We'll buy your loyalty with suitcases full of cash under the table if you give American Corporations access to your slave workforce.

Sleep well Mr. Uribe. Nov 4th's DEMACON victory was NOT a victory for the people, by the people. It was another ringing victory for corporate America. As we are now witnessing just exactly where the Demacon party's loyalties lie. In bed with corporate America. Campaign's funded by, bought and paid for by Corporate America.

American warmongering, the road to serfdom, death to unions, the ever growing shame known as our wealth divide are intact and as alive as ever. Saved by the ruling Demacons.

(Yes, the above is filled with sarcasm.)

..............................................................................................

When will the rest of the world say enough is enough?

When will the rest of the world take a stand against American Fascism?

When will other nations call for or enact boycotts against or full trade embargoes against America?

When will the rest of the world say enough is enough?

I no longer believe in democracy. It's proven to be as corrupt as any system of government.

I no longer believe there is freedom in working for a living. The sacrifices we make. The blood, sweat, time away from our families spent at work are all sacrifices made to our slave masters. To enrich them and to empower the system of Authoritarian rule.

I'm tired of hearing from Reich Wing Fascists that America is a sovereign nation. Deserving of it's sovereignty.

FUCK American sovereignty.

3. Then leave
Geesh. You want to criticize our foreign policy, then fine. But your crap at the bottom there about calling for boycotts and trade embargoes against America and saying you no longer favor democracy loses me.

Who do you think would pay the price if other nations boycotted or embargoed the United States? The fat white men in suits? Think again. It would be millions of American workers who would be thrown out of work (which you may favor, for all I know).

And if you don't favor democracy either, then this country is probably not for you.

Please leave.

U.S. fraud suit targets ex-partner of Jeb Bush

The Justice Department says a water pump company fraudulently helped Nigeria obtain $74-million in taxpayer-backed loans.

By ADAM C. SMITH, Times Political Editor
© St. Petersburg Times
published March 15, 2002

Gov. Jeb Bush's former business partner in a venture to sell water pumps abroad defrauded the U.S. government of more than $74-million, federal authorities contend in a lawsuit.

The Justice Department alleges that MWI Corp. of Deerfield Beach, a water pump company whose equipment Bush marketed to foreign countries, fraudulently helped Nigeria obtain U.S. taxpayer-backed loans during his father's administration.

Much of the loan money went for secret payoffs to Nigerian officials and equipment that was vastly overpriced and unneeded, the lawsuit says.

The company denies the allegations, many of which surfaced four years ago when a former MWI employee sued the company.

Bush, campaigning for governor at the time, shrugged off questions about the deal as little more than complaints from a disgruntled former staffer.

5. you are entirely correct about the essential evil of U.S. foreign policy...
...but you'll likely get a lot of flack from folks who just can't bear to look at the U.S. except through fourth-of-July-mom-and-apple-pie colored glasses. That's the usual way-- if people actually paid attention, they would have put a stop to U.S. foreign policy a long time ago.

6. Good rant. I see your post has been knocked down by American Execptionalist.
You are absolutely right, if anyone stands in our way to exploit we have no qualms about interfering in their sovereign rights.

8. Oh, I believe in democracy
I think it would be a nice ideal, everyone getting to have a say. Unfortunately, it isn't strong enough to counter advertising, which is how the rich sell useless ideas like war to poor people.

10. Do you think this is true?
Amazon.com Review
John Perkins started and stopped writing Confessions of an Economic Hit Man four times over 20 years. He says he was threatened and bribed in an effort to kill the project, but after 9/11 he finally decided to go through with this expose of his former professional life. Perkins, a former chief economist at Boston strategic-consulting firm Chas. T. Main, says he was an "economic hit man" for 10 years, helping U.S. intelligence agencies and multinationals cajole and blackmail foreign leaders into serving U.S. foreign policy and awarding lucrative contracts to American business. "Economic hit men (EHMs) are highly paid professionals who cheat countries around the globe out of trillions of dollars," Perkins writes. Confessions of an Economic Hit Man is an extraordinary and gripping tale of intrigue and dark machinations. Think John Le Carré, except it's a true story.

Perkins writes that his economic projections cooked the books Enron-style to convince foreign governments to accept billions of dollars of loans from the World Bank and other institutions to build dams, airports, electric grids, and other infrastructure he knew they couldn't afford. The loans were given on condition that construction and engineering contracts went to U.S. companies. Often, the money would simply be transferred from one bank account in Washington, D.C., to another one in New York or San Francisco. The deals were smoothed over with bribes for foreign officials, but it was the taxpayers in the foreign countries who had to pay back the loans. When their governments couldn't do so, as was often the case, the U.S. or its henchmen at the World Bank or International Monetary Fund would step in and essentially place the country in trusteeship, dictating everything from its spending budget to security agreements and even its United Nations votes. It was, Perkins writes, a clever way for the U.S. to expand its "empire" at the expense of Third World citizens. While at times he seems a little overly focused on conspiracies, perhaps that's not surprising considering the life he's led. --Alex Roslin

12. Its all about loans and the World Bank.. you won't get any support here on DU...
The Du is so infiltrated with Wingnuts and yes-men..... you won't have a chance. They will never say "Enough". It is all about their support of the Corporate Entities and their looting of America.

Dont believe me? Just ask AIG-Goldman Sachs. Where is Obama on this?

13. I'll just say I completely disagree. You don't know Evil until
you see what many other governments do to their own people. We certainly have our problems, but I take it you haven't traveled much or noticed that our country also does more charity work around the world than the rest of the world's governments combined.

You are certainly entitled to your opinion, but I completely disagree because I have seen so much in my 70+ years.
