The United States is the single biggest military spender in the world, with a higher 2020 expenditure than the next ten countries combined. Its infrastructure has been described to be in disrepair since the late 1980s.

The United States is a nation state in North America, bordering Canada and Mexico. A 2014 scientific study (the only one to date)[1] concluded that the US is an oligarchy, notwithstanding democratic window-dressing, which was actually backed in verbatim by former president Jimmy Carter[2]. A 2017 poll found that the biggest fear of US citizens was "corrupt government officials".[3] A 2018 poll revealed that most US citizens were aware that the government was controlled by the group referred to here as the "US deep state".[4]


Deep State

Full article: US/Deep state

Deep State forces have had a major influence in US politics since as least the mid 19th century. The JFK Assassination was a seminally important event in the evolution of the modern US deep state. This fused a working alliance of businessmen, deep politicians and other criminals into a group that Mark Gorton calls "the cabal". This group has controlled almost all subsequent US presidents. During the 1970s, this was outsourced to avoid congressional scrutiny. Under the leadership of George H. W. Bush, it become the supranational deep state.

The Deep State is Real, Here's Why it Matters

The USA ("Home of the brave... land of the free") is democratic country, with a duly elected leadership which governs from Washington DC and represents the wishes of the people of he USA. Anything you may read or hear about the US Deep state is "fake news". i.e. "There is no American Deep State... it just looks like there is."[7]

Foreign Policy

Full article: US/Foreign policy

US Foreign policy is an altruistic activity designed to promote global wellbeing. The "war on terror" is designed to rid the world of "terrorism" and "failed states", which necessitate the rollback of civil liberties and increasing use of measures such as torture, "targeted killings" and universal surveillance to keep the population safe.

UN Laws

The US was one of the two countries to vote against labeling food as a human right at the UN. The draft also expressed alarm that the number of people lacking access to adequate food rose by 320 million to 2.4 billion in 2020 – nearly one-third of the world's population. The US still refused to even sign it in 2021, during the height of the Covid Lockdown. The only other country was Israel.[8]

The US is also the only country to not have ratified the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child.[9]

Society

US society has been subject to the attention of social engineers.

Work

"The United States is practically the only developed country in the world that doesn't require companies to give their workers time off... Many American workers must keep on working through public holidays, and vacation days often go unused."

Police State

As the "war on terrorism" progresses, with the associated extrajudicial detentions, torture and assassinations, a range of commentators are increasingly coming to see the USA as a de facto police state.[11][12][13][14] The US imprisons more of its population, both as a percentage and in absolute terms, than any other nation.

Health

Both the physical and mental health of US citizens seems to be in decline, with unprecedented levels of chronic illnesses being reported, especially among millenials.[15]

Drug use

Use of opioid pain killers is widespread in USA; in 2011, an estimated 4 million people in the United States used opioids recreationally or were dependent on them[16] and drug overdose has become now the leading cause of death for US residents under the age of 50.[17] As of December 2017, the USA was the only country apart from the New Zealand that allow prescription drug companies to advertise on television.[18] In 2017, around 1/8 of the US population were reportedly addicted to alcohol.[19]

COVID-19
