This website is meant to be an intellectual discourse with the hypothesis that America is self-destructing and leading the entire world in that direction. It is a brief account of America that was, America that is and America that can be. The  founders of America would spin in their graves if they could see America's present set back!

 

The purpose of this website is not to bring about a drastic change in our world by myself as some friends surmise. It is rather to satisfy my inner desire for sharing and caring. In other words I believe that the only way to change the world for better is cultivation of sense of responsibility in each one of us as its building blocks. This urge is imbedded in this ancient Chinese proverb, “If everyone sweeps their front door the whole town would be clean” or the African saying that “It takes a village”or George Orwell's words, “It takes a lot of effort to see what is in front of your nose” or similar pieces of wisdom we have abandoned.

Nations and empires are subject to the nature's rule of law rather than mythological and religious beliefs. That is, they go through birth, growth and death or self-destruction when their virtues succumb to their vices-very much like premature death of human beings by malignant cancer cells or failure of our immune system.

As voracious readers with a unique insight into the rise and fall of the empires, America's founders were well aware of this nature's rule of law and did what was humanly possible to protect America from self-destruction. Alas, there are ample reasons to believe that America is self-destructing by abandoning the valuable insights of its founders. In short, America increasingly resembles a suicide bomber in a massive scale, worse yet it is not willing to admit that harsh reality! An ancient Ethiopian-another graveyard of empires, is “Those who hide their wounds will never find a cure!”

The so called “War on Terror” and similar futile quagmires and major internal problems that are bankrupting America and the world, are the cumulative and cancerous growth of residual colonial mentality whose roots can be traced to antiquity and whose objective is to rule the world and force their belief on it. These are America's own extremists who provoke and cause such disasters and are not touched by the American Revolution, Bill of Rights, Constitution and the First Amendment, but pretend otherwise-run-away hypocrites. Possessed by AIG-arrogant, ignorance and greed that is coincidentally the acronym for the infamous AIG. They are opportunists with no conviction other than making by any means and could be members of any party. For more on this please google the word greening or greeding of America! 

As a naturalized American citizen I feel fully confident that if not for the voices of dissent and the constant flow of immigrants with fresh ideas that have kept this Nation of Immigrants vibrant despite the constant attempts of its own extremists to make America a house divided against itself and wrongly antagonizing and blaming the world for its demise. As Erick Fromm said,  “The world is graveyard of empires that did not meet the challenge of their time.” My main concern is that we are not meeting that challenge. Therefor, I am determined to protect this nation from decay and the negative impact of its decay on the stability of the world as we know it.

I have maintained this website for over ten years. At this time I am shrinking its content even more in the interest of brevity for the public that has increasingly lost interest in such vital issues as a result of being bombarded with misinformation rather than truth even during our Information Age.

My purpose is to demonstrate that America's downfall is the direct result of deterioration of the public education that leads to public awareness-the founders' prerequisite for understanding, appreciation and preservation of the government of the people as opposed to the  government of a few.  It is past the time to go back to square one, reevaluate our performance and rediscover the wisdom of saying “we reap what we sow”. We can only reverse our further downfall by launching what I call a War on Ignorance and find out that it is our fastest, cheapest and best guarantee of global peace and prosperity and Homeland Security than our own present brand of War on Terror. It is unbecoming of America to let its destructive power dominate its enormous constructive potential and deprive us of the dividend of technology for solving not only our own problems, but those of the world that is still looking up to us for real leadership. Millions of decent Americans are already doing this, but we need to energize millions more to neutralize the obstacles created by the extremists.

Has the abandoning the wisdom of the America's founders made us a nation with its head in the clouds without having its feet on the ground? Is this a responsible way of spending the money we do not have or borrow to kill and maim our young people and then spend more money to cure the brand new physical and mental problems of the modern warfare for making artificial limbs for our surviving soldiers while we lack the money to take care of our deteriorating infrastructure? We will never win this war, but if we ever do, what are we going to export to these invaded lands? Will it be sound public education, participatory democracy, fiscal responsibility, balanced budget and eliminating or at least drastically reducing corruption, etc. ? How can we provide the world with what we no longer have, is the challenge of our time. As Thomas Jefferson said, “An empire collapses more from within than from without.”We are self-destructing by not meeting the challenges of our time and by not addressing the roots of our enormous local, national and international crime that are evolving from conventional to cyber crimes with no end in sight. 

I try to relate my writing to people's common sense rather than cluttering their minds with numerous links and end up losing their attention. I trust that my readers are able to go to the  search engines, use the key words I use and make this a simple drill in participatory democracy. After all, how may people need links to the issues that require common sense such as the sunshine is warm or the earth is not flat?

This website will review the unfinished journey of America and the reasons behind its failure to be in charge of its own destiny, ironically by no one other than itself. It will be done in five sections, namely: Introduction, Roots of Terrorism, Defeat of Terrorism, Return of Terrorism and  Over-all Summary. Each page will also have its own summary.
