The country looks much the same as it has been for years. In 2001 we had the patriot act, increased measures in security, today we have the TSA and the Patriot act has been renewed. Economy wise? The economy is in the tank but corporations are still free and posting record profits. Last month the market recorded what? 1.6 trillion in profit? So much for a socialist nation, this country is far more capitalist than the country I know of in 90's.
And anything else? Well we now have a mandate for healthcare insurance and while insurance companies are held accountable over refusing accountable, this healthcare bill is not a solution at all.
Well withdrawal from Iraq is coming soon.... we're still stuck in Afghanistan, we're still spending billions on the military industrial complex, still sending billions to Israel.
Yep.

MOST AMERICANS have grown up under the erroneous assumption that capitalism and communism are polar opposites, because the former system provides for private ownership of property, whereas the latter does not...
The cabal which runs today's capitalist system is a continuation of the same cabal which ran the early USSR. In fact, many of the capitalists exercising ultimate economic control in Russia today and funding section 527 political groups in the United States today were tightly connected with the communist and underground criminal apparatus during communism. The fact that the original funding for the Bolshevik revolution was provided by bankers in the United States should speak volumes about the true nature of what is going on; and the fact that Capitalists and Communists are actually allies rather than foes. When the New York bankers funded the Bolshevik revolution, they were making an investment - but it was not an investment in purely economic terms. Rather, like all banking investments ultimately turn out, it was an investment in the control of human beings.
Under capitalism, most significant individual property - such as real estate - is purchased through loans which, if unpaid, serve to relieve the borrower of ownership of the property without even a court proceeding...
Even if the property is owned outright, it can be seized by just about any lawyer....
Of course, no insurance protects property against government seizure. The IRS seizes 10,000 homes a year; and civil property forfeiture - where the owner of the property need not even be charged with a crime - is used some 3,600 times a day in America to seize everything from cash to cars to real estate.
In practice, then, ownership is illusory since there are a bunch of government agencies, insurance agencies, and mortgage contracts that tell people what they can or can't do with their property;...
Capitalism, in effect, has very little to do with ownership of private property by ordinary people; and everything to do with their enslavement by an elite. A closer look at the finances involved in the preceeding hypothetical house reveals quite a lot....
These examples, again, show no difference between Capitalism and Bolshevism in that, in the end, both systems have the same effects and therefore only differ in methodology. www.wvwnews.net...

“... Over the last quarter-century, historians have by and large ceased writing about the role of ruling elites in the country's evolution. Or if they have taken up the subject, they have done so to argue against its salience for grasping the essentials of American political history. Yet there is something peculiar about this recent intellectual aversion, even if we accept as true the beliefs that democracy, social mobility, and economic dynamism have long inhibited the congealing of a ruling stratum. This aversion has coincided, after all, with one of the largest and fastest-growing disparities in the division of income and wealth in American history....Neglecting the powerful had not been characteristic of historical work before World War II. ” hnn.us...
"You may be thinking, if it’s not patriotic why would it be a law and why would they call it the Patriot Act? It’s a frightening thought, but the government commonly says a law is one thing when it’s really something else. It makes us feel safe and good, meanwhile it’s never defined in plain English. This allows them to use the law selectively..."
