America: a Nation Without a Government or Justice for All

These stories confirm two of my assessments of life in
America in the 21st century.
FIRST: PROOF THAT OUR GOVERNMENT IS THE MOST CORRUPT IN THE
WORLD, OWNED BY CORPORATE AMERICA
Several years ago, FBI Director, Christopher Wray, confirmed
that investigations by our country’s preeminent law enforcement agency learned
that Domestic Terrorism is the greatest danger to human life in America.
Since 2017, there have been more
mass shootings in the United States every year than the number of days on the
calendar. As of March 31, 2024, In the first 91 days of the current year,
America experienced 125 mass shootings. The result: 208 deaths, and 419 more injured.
Many of these preventable
incidents involved the use of military style assault rifles affixed with
high-output magazines.
20 VERY SMALL CHILDREN WERE
SLAUGHTERED, NOTHING HAPPENED: WILL THE DEATHS OF FOUR COPS BE ANY DIFFERENT?
On December 14, 2012, 20 small
children and six educators were murdered by young man armed with an assault
rifle in Newtown, Connecticut. There was no action by our nation’s government
to prevent another occurrence. School shooting continue.
This week four law enforcement
officers were killed, and four others wounded in North Carolina while
attempting to execute n arrest warrants. When the melee was over, and the
suspect killed, more than 100 projectiles and shell casings were found inside
the home, along with an AR-15 military assault rifle, a .40 caliber pistol, and
extra magazines. It required 12 officers to eventually bring down the deranged
39-year-old murderer.
The authorities are attempting to
discover the source of these weapons of mass destruction. However, it is an
undeniable fact that anyone at any age can procure any type of weapon he or she
desires in America. All they need is money.
MY SECOND STORY IS ABOUT THE LACK
OF JUSTICE IN AMERICA
If you are part of nearly one-half
of all Americans who struggle in the low-income demographic or below the
poverty line, and commit a crime, you will most likely be punished to the full
extent of the law. The average income of all men and women incarcerated in the United
States before conviction is less than $20,000 per year.
Of equal importance is the fact
that not a single man or woman with extreme wealth or anyone in a position of
power has ever been punished fairly for their crimes.
For example: During his hush money
trial, Donald Trump violated the judge’s gag order five times, and the trial
has just begun. Today, your illegitimate former president, who claims to be a
billionaire, was fined $7,000 for his crimes, but will not be jailed for his
brazen violations of direct orders from a magistrate of the court.
Prior to this trial, Trump planned,
organized, and executed an attempted coup on January 6, 2021, but remains a
free man. His theft of national secrets, and subsequent lies to the FBI about
his crime have gone unpunished. Ethel and Julius Rosenberg were put to death in
1955 for similar violations of the Espionage Act.
MORE EVIDENCE OF CORRUPTION
All this adds up to one fact: no
one in America with power over others can be trusted. The majority have become
nothing more than pawns for the wealthy and privileged in our country. They are
the only people who live in our nation and experience the American dream. The
hope of every child who grew up in our nation no longer exists. If you are born
rich, you die rich. If you are born poor, you will most likely die poor.
I apologize, my friends, but these
facts are the new America. I hope it’s not what you prefer, or believe in. I
sure as hell do not.
