5. This style of governing, of endless wars against the peoples of less advantaged

Nations, was once called Empire building.

And back in the Nineteenth and Twentieth Centuries, it was sold to the people of Britain as a means of allowing Western medicine, Western education, and Western Christianity to take hold in the "dark world of the primitive savages." If all other arguments failed, there was always the argument that without the spread of civilization and Christianity, these poor people would lose their immortal souls to limbo or the fires of hell.

Of course, behind that "curtain of benevolence," the reality was the impoverished servitude and desperate lives that people lived once Britain extended "her mantle of civilization" to the poor people of the world.

Now it is the USA's turn to "Globalize" the less fortunate. One of the most necessary means to accomplish this Globalization is the TPP. And of course, as the means of Globalization is allowing the Banks to consolidate into three or four main banks, all of which delight in the profits they reap from the illegal endless wars, and from the Privatized Prisons,
and our food stuffs are turned into poisons by addition of HFCS, of MSG, of Gm foods which are containing mold and fungal matters at higher rates than normally seen, we middle class Americans will lose out as well. Of course, we can go out in the streets and protest, but the penalties for doing this are now extreme.
