2. Correct. I would only add "divided" and "at one anothers' throats" to the list.

This division, designed and constantly manipulated to keep Americans split 50/50, is necessary to maintain control.

3. It's the natural end result...

Of misguided philosophies designed to guide intent to gain control over the life of our species. Oddly, even the religious philosophies admit that there will come a time when we won't be here anymore.



We (humans) come up with innovation and alleged survival plans but they always carry the intent to overcome our natural environment which is folly. And that is all we have striven for in the currently dominant cultures, control... over each other and over the natural environment through psychological schemes and physical mechanical means.

We really thought we were on our way to having it all when the industrial age showed up.

In the end, all of our discoveries and "gains" have all been conducted with the intent of taking control of nature or preventing its effects upon us.

The joke's on us, friends.

7. I've been wondering the same thing for years.

The question I have always asked is what does America look like under their rule?

If you give them the benefit of the doubt, the present unrest could be just the intermediate steps that leads to Nirvana!

But I doubt it.

8. Everything listed there benefits the rich
