The value of the dollar is dropping like a lead balloon. Tens of millions of Americans are unemployed or underemployed. Millions of Americans are losing their homes. Tens of millions of Americans cannot afford basic health care and depend on food stamps to keep them from starving to death. And yet, our arrogant, greedy and power-hungry political-military-FED-Wall Street complex; our homegrown cabal of liars, thieves and murderers; refuse to relent one inch. Their enormous and profligate military spending, to maintain their worldwide empire of bases and to sustain their never-ending wars of global imperalism, will eventually lead to the total bankruptcy and impoverishment of the entire American nation. It is time for the American people to grow up, wise up and rise up and take back the federal government. If the American people fail to do this, the crooked bastards who are running our country will eventually destroy us all.

Nikita Krushchev predicted it back in the 1950s: "We don't have to worry about the United States. They will spend themselves out of existence." And Sun Tsu – author of The Art of War – correctly observed: "There is no instance of a country having benefitted from prolonged warfare." More troops to Afghanistan will result in the US moving ever closer to total economic collapse. We should withdraw ALL of our troops. It seems that we refuse to learn the lessons of the Vietnam War – being too arrogant and stupid! NO one has ever won a war in Afghanistan – and – we have NOT even defined what 'winning' in Afghanistan means?
