The ENTIRE American narrative is a lie. All of it.
It began with the glorification of Columbus, the Pilgrims, the founding fathers and the Constitution and everything since. The US narrative was written by the elite. The lie has been repeated since childhood and through every strata of society: schools, higher education, the pledge of allegiance, saluting the flag, civic celebrations, government, church, films, TV, entertainment, sports, patriotic flyovers and the glorification of the military. The lie is pervasive and ubiquitous.
All of this and more defines who we are and to break away from this "spell" is damn near impossible for the majority. For those who have discovered the truth it means freedom but it also carries with it the burden of alienation, condemnation, and even persecution.
But the truth is, America was founded on genocide and slavery, and America's religion of Capitalism has made slaves of us all. We are not god's chosen, a force for good, one nation indivisible with freedom and justice for all. We are subjects of rogue state, a criminal empire, with only the appearances of freedom, a voice and justice for all.
America's "destiny" has been to destroy ancient civilizations, murder untold millions, and to destroy the environment. America's "destiny" has humanity on the brink of extinction. - Anon

That sums it up very effectively. Then they wonder why they are viewed with such distrust ......and even disdain. They brought it on to themselves and they don't are.......as long as they have military bases in al the strategic places on the planet........ whether they are wanted there r not.

....The empire has established tentacles world wide........selectively... It wants to rule the planet. as POTUS role morphs into Emperor. Trump believes he has imperial powers even now. "I can do anything I want"...........should be carved into his desk front. Terrorism is a gift that just keeps on giving Worldwide resources are their to be TAKEN...........

Salvadoran General Admits U.S.-Trained Forces Carried Out 1981 Massacre

Retired Salvadoran General Juan Rafael Bustillo has acknowledged for the first time that elite United States-trained forces were responsible for carrying out the 1981 El Mozote massacre in which nearly 1,000 unarmed villagers were killed. Most of those tortured and murdered by the U.S.-backed troops were women and children. This comes as the U.S. State Department has banned 13 former Salvadoran military officials from entering the United States after they allegedly orchestrated the extrajudicial killings of six Jesuit priests in 1989. Like the El Mozote massacre, the killing of the Jesuit priests was also carried out by soldiers trained by the United States.
