THE U.S. EMPIRE - FOLLOW THE MONEY

Caitlin Johnstone

The U.S. empire is up to its elbows in the middle east working frenetically to manipulate what happens there, while in the United States itself homelessness has taken another record-shattering leap forward. Homelessness in the U.S. has increased by a staggering 18 percent since last year... and last year also saw a giant spike in homelessness of 12 percent from the year before.

Officially there are now around 770,000 homeless Americans, though the real number is likely several times higher.

This massive injustice is entirely by design. As the hub of a globe-spanning empire, the U.S. needs to keep its citizenry poor, divided, distracted and powerless in order to keep them from meddling in the gears of the imperial machine.

The more free time and mental spaciousness Americans have, the more they’ll awaken to how depraved their government is and how badly it’s screwing them over. The managers of the western empire naturally have a vested interest in keeping Americans poor, sick, ignorant, and propagandized. Which is why they remain so.
