Independence Day?
July 4th 1776 was the day that the Declaration of Independence was signed. This document was supposed to grant the United States freedom from British rule. However, as they say in the joint: "I can't tell."
The US of A is presently squandering human lives and treasure in not one, but two wars that were essentially started by the British. The Sun set twice on the British empire in Afghanistan, and they finally left Iraq in 1948. But not to worry. The Brits don't have to do the bulk of the fighting now. They just let their most successful colony do the dirty work. In fact if you listen to the BBC, they don't even mention British involvement in the wars.
The USA is owned by British, German, French, and Dutch financial institutions. Far from being an "independent" nation, we are really just the spear-point for the old Holy Roman/British/Imperialist Empire. Our foreign policy will always protect the bankers, and when they have used us up, they will find another wealthy, aggressive, technology-obsessed country to take our place. Like maybe.....Germany?
