We are a nation of criminals. Always have been. We made our bones 2 1/2 centuries ago by thumbing our nose at the King of England and his oppressive tax schemes. Ever since, it’s been one criminal enterprise after the next. The westward expansion of the US in the 1800s involved the slaughtering of the natives, and the stealing of their land. Even back then, our criminal leaders understood the value of words. They did not call their imperial expansion slaughtering & stealing, for if they had, most ordinary folk would be against it. Instead, they gave it a more benevolent sounding name like “Manifest Destiny,” and suddenly everyone, except of course the natives, was on board.
Yes, my conclusion is the USA died several decades ago and all that remains is a zombie corpse waiting for the bullet to the head. The date of death is debatable but I pick 1933. All that's left now is corruption.
