WHAT IF?

hat if the war on drugs and the war on terrorism were deliberately contrived and nurtured? What if constant "war" and constant "crises" since the end of WWII were nothing more than strategies by some Americans to keep tight control of government expenditures?

What if the deterioration of the American family and American values were deliberately planned?

What if the ever-growing chasm between the upper and lower economic segments of working America was deliberately nurtured?

What if the high cost of political elections is the strategy to keep poorer Americans from running for public office?

What if the high cost of education, the confusion within the American public education systems, and the dumbing down of American youth were part of this long-range plan?

What if the growing Latin American and Asian populations in the country was the strategic device to destroy whatever unity provided by the once dominant Anglo-Saxon working population?

What if the concentration of media conglomerates into fewer hands is the strategy to control information and influence the thoughts of common working Americans?

What if the transferance of American factories overseas was motivated not only for greater profits, but to eliminate worker demands upon American factory owners?

What if the easy access to credit cards and borrowing money is the strategy used to avoid paying fairer wages? What if deliberately low wages and the constant need of working people to borrow is the strategy used to spread debt slavery?

What if the same people who caused all of the above not only allowed 9/11 to happen, but probably,also helped plan the event?

It's a lot of "what ifs," and it sounds like a great plot for a fiction story. But what if it's not fiction?. What if during all those years since the end of World War II there has been a "conspiracy" by a group of wealthy Americans to destroy any possibility of the United States becoming a true democracy of truly free, mature citizens?

What would YOU do, if this were true?
