Perestroika in the US

Chickens coming home to roost never did make me sad; they've always made me glad.

When you're done, think about what is happening in and to the United States. The "debt" chickens have finally come home to roost. Why? Because it's our turn to be enslaved to the growing global theocracy of bankgangsters and corporations.

If you don't agree, then please tell me what's really going on. I'd like to know.

(Also see my 1/17/2013 blog post "Our on-going perestroika". Additional more current information on this subject from a global perspective can be found in the book Confessions of an Economic Hitman by John Perkins.)

By the way, the claim that the Bataan Nuclear Power Plant is "unsafe" may be a red herring (they're ALL unsafe). A more likely cause for the death of the nuclear industry (especially US sales to foreign countries) was the Iranian Revolution. As long as dictators (Marcos, the Shah, etc.) were in charge, they could have all the nuke plants they wanted. But when "the people" took over in Iran and the Philippines, Carter and others decided it was too much of a risk to sell THEM plutonium production facilities (a.k.a. nuclear power plants).
