America is Sick, page 15

A dose of reality
So you think the USA is seething with soulless reprobates? Let's look back at history;
The ancients regularly had to put with greedy kingdoms that would march upon neighboring lands,conquering and plundering them as a result. Often times, the vanquished become slaves to their new overlords. The Jews felt that sting more than once.

The Persians, Egyptians, Greeks, Romans, plus others are regular features in biblical history telling of the constant warfare and deaths of millions over millennium. All of it based on greed, and hatred of other ethnic groups and cultures.

Africans have been at each other throats since the beginning of time. They're still at it.

Then you have the rise of the Mogul hordes who swept across the breadth of Europe, pillaging and sacking everything they came into contact with. China in the beginning was a collection of warring war lords that sought to enrich themselves by killing off each other and taking land, prisoners of war that became slaves, concubines.
The Russians are a loose confederation of ethnic groups, that have chopped and hacked at each other forever. Right up to the cultural revolution of Lenin and Stalin. Millions died.

Wars within the European continent have slaughtered millions. World Wars One and Two perfected the mechanization of wholesale death for many non combatants. The Jews and other ethnics once again felt the rawness of cold blooded murder.

The Spanish long sought and held military might over Europe, were always at odds with Portugal, France and Britain for supremacy. The Spanish and to some extent, the Portuguese, discovered the Caribbean plus Central and South America. The natives didn't stand a chance. They succumbed to cold steel, and diseases they had no immunity for. Millions eventually died off. All in the pursuit of GOLD, exotic resources, and power.

Piracy was established in the Caribbean by errant Dutch, English, Spanish, and Portuguese mercenaries. No one was safe.

The Slave trade was both a Dutch and African enterprise. England wasn't the leader of it, as some think.

Spain was a nation whose captured foreign nationals were then sold off as slaves on the open markets. Often times, the Middle Eastern nomadic tribesmen would buy them, and make wives or concubines out of the women, and laborers out of the men.
This nefarious business still goes on today, only it is a underground business. White gold is highly prized. ( a blonde woman )
The sex slave trades still flourish, and girls are kidnapped from all over the globe to support it.

In India, the Hindi Thug cult of Northern India murdered for profit for generations, until an English lord finally put a stop to it.

Don't over look the Nordic's who for five hundred years or more, raided and sacked the entire North Sea's area. Eventually they reached the coasts of Iceland, Greenland and Newfoundland. I doubt that any contact with the natives was cordial.

England's ruling caste was an oppressive and brutal system of royal families who would think nothing of eliminating anyone by any means who was considered a threat to their sovereignty and power. The powerful and influential rode the backs of the lower class, working them relentlessly and taxing them to death. The life span of the common peon was about 29 years old.

Even the onslaught of the Black Death, wasn't enough to render the Elite to become more humane towards the survivors. They upped the ante, and went to war on their own citizens, forcing them into servitude serfdom.
Religious warfare put to the axe many millions who refused to kneel and convert from paganism to Christianity.

Religious war between the Catholic and Protestant worshiping was relentless. Rome has directed and ordered the deaths of millions over a thousand years, who it saw as enemies of the Holy Cross. This is saving souls?
When the persecuted puritans of England who wanted to practice their religion as they saw fit, without the ramifications of the King coming down on them, then got the chance to go to a new and wild land, they jumped at the opportunity.

One of my own relatives came to America in 1636 on the ship Lyon. He was a Protestant Minister as well. He wrote of the natives who inhabited the area around Portsmouth, and had respect for them. So did his wife.

Unfortunately, the men who had taken advantage of the indigenous Indians of the North America's in the beginning were French Fur traders. They in turn, opened the interior lands to others who came from England and Europe. White men found that the Indians could easily taken advantage of. Instead of respecting a different culture, and their lands, they did as they always had done.
Which was to conquer them, try to convert them, take their lands by force or trickery, and give them things that they hadn't known.
The Flu, Chicken Pox was some of it. Many hundreds of thousands died. Liquor and cheap junk were other treats whites gave the natives, in return for tons of furs and hides and lands.

Once the natives began to wise up, that these new people were screwing them over, they fought back. Approximately three quarters of the original inhabitants of the North American Continent were wiped out in 200 years.

Today's modern paradigm of rabidly greedy businessmen and increasingly jaded populace, is a reflection of what has been going on for ten thousand years between men and cultures. Nothing is new. Therefore, do not try to pin
the sins and ills of inhumanity on the USA or its multi cultural minions.

The Buck didn't start here, nor does it end here. It is spread evenly across the expanses of the globe. Depravity in all its forms, seems to be universal.

The long and short of it is; we are all the sum of our parts and influences, both historical and current.

Today we face a brutally intolerant new horde of invading neo-moguls of the Middle East. The Saracens of modernity are sweeping through streets, killing indiscriminately everywhere they can reach. The religious intolerance of other cultures and practices continues unabated. Roiling warfare by great Kingly Leaders of their lands for resources and power rages on. They will eliminate anyone, by any means if it threatens their sovereignty and power.
History repeats itself over and over again.

If you don't look back, you'll never see where you've been. Myopic vision and obtuse thinking serve no one.
