Hi Pen;

Yes, that makes sense. But I get the definite impression that, despite a hígh probability of collusion here, many of them don't have the slightest clue about what they are doing either. I don't believe that America as in we the people have lost their spíritual course for the most part. Only the leaders seem to be succumbing to this in such complete fashion. Unfortunately, it seems to be contagious, because quite a few other nations are following suit.

Doesn't their behavior remind you of the early days of colonialism though? Have you ever read about what the Belgian king did in the Congo while they were involved there? The leaders back then committed all kinds of atrocities in those days as well, simply because they thought that nobody was watching. It looks to me as if they're trying to do the same thing again.

Could they actually think that they could get away with establishing an entirely new set of empires? Albeit under a different guise? It would definitely solve their financial woes, would it not?
