I’ve been saying for a long time that the real movers in the world don’t reside in the United States, but in Britain. The function of America is to serve as the bully dog for British interests — which have invested heavily in our economy. Many people don’t realize that the British are the largest foreign owner of American property, followed by the Dutch and the Canadians. The usual villains that we worry about — Arabs, Japanese, etc. — own substantially less. Yet our media hectors these and says nothing about the real money.
Joseph Campbell had something to say about this fact in The Power of Myth:
…when I was a boy, we were given George Washington’s farewell address and told to outline the whole thing, every single statement in relation to every other one. So I remember it absolutely. Washington said, “As a result of our revolution, we have disengaged ourselves from involvement in the chaos of Europe.” His last word was that we not engage in foreign alliances. Well, we held on to his words until the First World War. And then we canceled the Declaration of Independence and rejoined the British conquest of the planet….We are politically, historically, now a member of one side of an argument….all of our concerns have to do with economics and politics and not with the voice and the sound of reason.
For the first time in our history, the Government is truly against the People. We need a second American Revolution, a new declaration of independence and accountability to the People. George W. Bush and the Republicans in Congress have taken us farther away from that than any previous administration. The United States as it was under Washington ended in November 2000 when the White House was taken by coup. We can revive it only by reasserting the popular will. There is no mandate for this man in Washington. We are the mandate and we can take the country back nonviolently by appealing American to American to American.
Let freedom ring in the voices of reasoned dissent. Let the good of the People triumph over the manipulators of prejudice.
