Only in the world of comic-book fantasies is the United States a friend to the oppressed in Africa or anywhere else on the planet. In the real world, the U.S. is a predator, colonial\/capitalist nation. But like the imagined nation of Wakanda, in the latest cultural assault on critical mass consciousness, \u201cAmerican exceptionalism\u201d and \u201cmake America great again\u201d \u2013 two slogans representing both sides of the imperialist coin, ruling class interests are obscured and the people are reduced to working against their objective interests and being accomplices to imperial lawlessness.<\/p>\n

In every part of the world, the United States is engaged in maniacal, criminal assaults on democracy, basic human decency and common sense. \u00a0From its support for armed jihadists groups in Syria and its illegal occupation of that nation, transferring heavy military equipment to its puppet regime in Ukraine, supporting unending war in Afghanistan, to the military invasion of African, the commitment to maintaining U.S. global dominance has moved war and militarism to the center of U.S. strategy.<\/p>\n

But nowhere is U.S. criminality more apparent and unrelenting than right here in the Americas where the Pan-European project was born in 1492. That was the year \u201cEurope\u201d was born, emerging from its relative cultural backwardness using with terrifying efficiency the only advantage it had over the more civilized people of the region\u2014armor protection and steel weapons\u2014to slaughter the people, take the land and begin the 500-hundred-year nightmare the people of the world have suffered ever since.<\/p>\n

Today, the barbarism of the Pan-European project continues under the tutelage of what history will record\u2014if humanity survives\u2014as the most violent, racist, oppressive human experience ever to have emerged in the short span of human existence on Earth: The United States of America.<\/p>\n
