I doubt that very many Americans or world citizens are aware of the magnitude of American taxpayer $$$s which are being, and have been, pumped into conflicts which are not directly ours, real or trumped up. The numbers are beyond my imagination. From Afghanistan Iraq Yemen Libya Pakistan and others I may know nothing of.

Then there’s South America…

USAID is another instrument of controlled neo-colonialism. Taxpayer $$$s allegedly given to developing countries are funneled right back. Second rate American ‘consultants’ are hired at absurdly high rates to study poverty and development and their deliverables are mediocre at best. And some funds end up in coffers of corrupt officials. Local hirees even if highly qualified, are paid a pittance. We Americans are neo colonialists. I’ve seen how officials live in luxury and behave in developing counties. They think they’re viceroys.

Lastly, sanctions of ANY kind against ANY country, are immoral. Its poor people who suffer and die. This method of control amounts to crimes against humanity.

And that’s my rant.
