The new year traditionally is a time for hope and change, a new beginning, a shift from policies causing so much harm to many millions worldwide – nameless, faceless victims of imperial ruthlessness.
Instead of sounding the alarm and urging a call to action, presstitutes masquerading as journalists support what demands condemnation.
Ordinary people are manipulated by bread, circuses, and daily misinformation – mindless of the dangers they face, indifferent to the risk of ending life on earth, ignorant of the pure evil Washington represents, complicit with its rogue partners.
Each new year begins with the threat of US-launched nuclear war, the unthinkable possibility able to kill us all. Power-crazed lunatics make ruthless choices.
Witness them in one war theater after another – endless mass slaughter and destruction, making the world safe for monied interests.
Madness defines US policies. Its criminal class is bipartisan. Whoever succeeds Obama in January 2017 will exceed the worst of his homeland and geopolitical agenda.
America already is thirdworldized, on a fast track toward a ruler-serf society, unfit and unsafe to live in, fundamental freedoms eliminated in plain sight, run by a gangster class serving its own interests exclusively.
It devotes more resources to homeland and foreign militarism, belligerence and confrontational policies than the rest of the world combined.
Expect more of the same in the new year, likely more than ever before, maybe looked back on as the year WW III began – if anyone survives the onslaught, a long shot at best.
Another holiday season brings no joy to the vast majority of people worldwide. Human suffering remains extreme.
US policymakers consider it a small price to pay, nothing too outlandish in serving their interests.
The horrors of their maniacal agenda is airbrushed from official and scoundrel media reports – on New Year’s and every other day.
