Finally, Some Hope

Finally, Some Hope

This is the most hopeful article I have seen in a long time.  It would be wonderful to again experience civilization, instead of sex and violence.  If only the liberal foundations would abandon DEI and return to the support of merit and human achievement.

The Cold War could have ended in 1958:

The judges asked Khrushchev, “can we award the prize to the American?” The Soviet ruler replied, “Was he the best?”  “Yes,” said the judges. “Then give him the prize.”  

The Cold War could have ended there, but the profits and power of the US military/security complex would not permit it.

Americans have been at war for 80 years for the profits of the military/security complex and Israel’s Zionist agenda of Greater Israel.  Imagine the high living standards Americans would be experiencing if the huge sum had been invested in the economy.

Our bought-and-paid-for-government stole our future from us.
