Religion is a fundamental set of beliefs and practices generally agreed upon by a group of people. These beliefs concern the cause, nature, and purpose of the universe, and involve devotional and ritual observances. They also often contain a moral code governing the conduct of human affairs.
In the United States, both major political parties endorse, condone and fund unprovoked wars of aggression against smaller and less powerful nations who have not attacked America or her people.
These wars enforcing corporate extraction are a form of religion.
The three branches of government in America see unending wars for the corporate bottom line as a more compelling issue than any other. In order to fund these unprovoked but expanding wars of aggression… peace is sacrificed, health care is neglected, schools are allowed to fail and infrastructure is falling apart.
The devotional and ritual observances of this “religion” involve “wars for profit” against nations who have not attacked us. During these unprovoked wars, we destabilize, exploit, bomb, attack with drones or invade and occupy non-aggressive nations to enforce various demands of the corporate elite for exploitation, extraction and armed extortion. These rituals cost trillions and kill millions for billionaires, munitions cartels, insurance conglomerates and other war-profiteers.
The moral code at the base of this wanton aggression is greed.
America is waging wars in more than 53 nations and NOBODY wants to talk about it.
America was fighting 34 unprovoked corporate-American wars ( economic and military aggression ranging from sanctions to contractors, mercenaries, troops and bombs) in Afghanistan, Algeria, Bolivia, Burkina Faso, Central African Republic, Chad, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Cuba, Djibouti, Ethiopia, Gaza, Gulf of Guinea, Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, Liberia, Libya, Mali, Niger, Nigeria, Nicaragua, Pakistan, Palestine, the Philippines, Somalia, South Sudan, Syria, Tunisia, Uganda, Ukraine, Venezuela, the West Bank, & Yemen. (This was during the Obama-Biden administration.)
Now the list is longer…
America is fighting at least 53 unprovoked and avoidable corporate-American wars (economic and military aggression ranging from sanctions to contractors, mercenaries, troops and bombs) in Afghanistan, Algeria, Belarus, Bolivia, Burkina Faso, Burundi, Central African Republic, Cameroon, Chad, China, Comoros, Cuba, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Eritrea, Djibouti, Ethiopia, Gaza, Gulf of Guinea, Haiti, Hong Kong, Iran, Iraq, Kazakhstan, Kenya, Kuwait, Lebanon, Lesotho, Liberia, Libya, Mali, Mauritania, Myanmar, Niger, Nigeria, Nicaragua, North Korea, Pakistan, Palestine, Papua New Guinea, the Philippines, Russia, Somalia, South Sudan, Syria, Tunisia, Turkey, Turkmenistan, Uganda, Ukraine, Venezuela, the West Bank, Yemen and Zimbabwe.
Obama bombed at least TEN Sovereign NATIONS: Afghanistan, Algeria, Iraq, Libya, Pakistan, the Philippines, Somalia, South Sudan, Syria, and Yemen
Under Trump, all of these wars have expanded.
Obama surrendered to the corporate elite. Liberal apologies for Obama’s bloody eight years cannot change facts on the ground. We have created millions of new enemies, incurred trillions in new debt and are demonstrably less secure. This failed imperial aggression is a big part of how Trump the racist chump got elected. Now we have Biden, the great pretender, in charge of these expanding wars.

“Our generation is on the verge of the most profound catastrophe the human species has ever faced. Death threats to the living earth are coming from all sides. Water, sunlight, air and soil are all threatened.”

The demise of the United States as the global superpower could come far more quickly than anyone imagines. A realistic assessment of domestic and global trends suggests that before 2030, just 8 years from now, it could all be over except for the shouting.
