Major Cultural Problems Americans Must Address and Correct Based upon many decades of insider experiences, and with the yet-unrecognized dire situation faced by Americans, it is time for introspection or addressing of serious cultural problems in certain government and non-government segments of the United States. Left undressed, these can only continue prior calamities arising from the problems and in today's nuclear age, result in calamities unprecedented in the world's history; including the nuclear destruction of U.S. cities and society. Included in some of the major cultural problems are the following, which have caused to be inflicted within the United States, and worldwide, enormous human tragedies. Culture of arrogance. Latest example being the start of a brutal war against the Iraqi people that has already left several hundred thousand dead Iraqis and Americans; destabilized the entire Middle East; generated a never-before-seen growth of people wanting to kill Americans; and many other personal and financial tragedies. Failure of people to recognize liars and con artists, and separate the lies from the facts. Culture of ignorance of matters that affect the integrity of government and the lives and deaths of people in the United States and foreign countries. The pathetic failure of segments of the American people to read and learn from courageous insiders who foolishly suffer great personal and financial harm for their attempts to protect the people and U.S. interests by exposing high level corruption. Part of this ignorance of events arises from the cover-ups, disinformation, and lying of media people and political pundits. Culture of deception by media people that covers up for corruption in high government places. This is partly due to wanting to continue their access to government handouts, partly due to fear of media corporations from adverse government actions, and partly out of sympathy with the corruption. Culture of deception and outright lying by political pundits, who cover up for misconduct in government, engage in disinformation, and engage in outright lying. Culture of corruption endemic of members of Congress, which is described in most of the books listed here. The pathetic deterioration of integrity and honesty of many people in the United States, which plays a role in the arrogance displayed time and time again, including the invasions of Korea, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Grenada, Iraq, and now threatening Iran; the brutal torture of detainees, most of whom are innocent of any crimes; the subverting of countries and governments throughout the world. According to people in lived in Iraq prior to the U.S. invasion, the crime rate was very low, as compared to the crime rate in major U.S. cities, including murders, gang violence, routine murders of innocent people, and other brutality. (Admittedly, those who were a threat to the government in Iraq were dealt with harshly, but judging by the rampant extreme torture and other brutalities after the United States overthrew the government, these harsh measures were necessary to prevent the hundreds of beheadings of neighbors and others. But for those who did not threaten the westernized government, crime was virtually non-existent.) Books detailing these matters have been written by many insiders, including those in a non-profit endeavor, to inform and wake up the American people. Admittedly, this is an almost hopeless goal. Sampling of 50 Years of Corruption-Enabled Tragedies— Made Possible by American Public Indifference To the Perpetrators/Enablers Harm to the American public in non-violent areas. Harm to people of other countries. Harm to the few people in the United States fighting the high-level corruption in a meaningful manner. Harm in general. Harm inflicted on former federal agent and whistleblower during multiple schemes to silence him. Sampling of Early Consequences TWA Flight 800 U.S. Embassy Bombings 9/11 Easily-Preventable Multiple Hijackings These few examples of the horrors associated with airline disasters enabled to occur by documented corruption withheld from the American people. The standard culture of cover-ups in the United States enabled the corruption, cover-ups, to mutate into different areas. In the aviation area, although the continuing series of airline disasters eventually came to a halt for other reasons, the culture continued, and enabled to occur a number of easily preventable airline disasters. The inbred culture created the conditions that enabled four groups of terrorists to easily hijack four airliners within a few hours of each other and kill nearly 3,000 people. One of Over 200 Victims Choosing This Way to Die— Made Possible by Many Enablers in United States Consequences of Corruption, Cover-Ups, And Retaliation Felonies Not Limited to Aviation There were many other forms of victims from the systemic high-level corruption. These included for instance victims of the: Department of Justice prosecutorial misconduct, people being falsely charges with crimes in order to improve the prosecutors' career. The explosion of violent crime related to drug smuggling into the United States, in which CIA assets were major players. Series of financial frauds appearing every few years, with the latest housing and financial implosions surfacing in 2008. Seizure of assets from innocent people. And many other forms. These offenses are described in the books written by insiders. Corruption of the Type Described at this site does not occur in a vacuum. High-level corruption in one area is simply one tentacle of a widespread culture of corruption. And the consequences of that corruption−and the endemic cover-ups−have consequences in other areas. The culture of corruption affects the people and the nation in many other ways, That includes the latest series of financial frauds that has occurred in the housing and financial sectors. Also, the effect of the endemic corruption and endemic cover-ups−major parts of the culture in the United States−that enablers successful terrorist attacks upon U.S. interests. Harm to People Overseas From Culture Of High-Level Corruption and Lies in the United States In addition to the decades of harm resulting from the systemic corruption of key people and groups in the U.S. government, affecting aviation safety, financial, human rights, in the United States, there is the harm from outside sources brought about by the actions of U.S. politicians affecting people in other countries—such as the history of invading and killing foreigners—there are the successful "terrorist" attacks made possible by high-level corruption, and then there are the foreigners who are also victims from the same high-level corruption that adversely affects the American, but in a different form. Remains of a girl—about the age of the 9-year-old Killed in Tucson in January 2011. In criminal law, people are accomplices, and guilty, if they know of a criminal act and fail to report it to proper authorities and also to take efforts within their capability to halt their continuation. And there are endless numbers of accomplices that are complicit in these crimes and enablers of the consequences. Suggestion to people outside the United States. Become familiar with the documented systemic corruption in the United States and show the outrage lacking of people in the United States, and: Help expose the endemic corruption that seem to be acceptable to the American people, and maybe wake them up. Help to protect yourselves against the decades of ham inflicted upon people of other countries by the actions of U.S. politicians—supported by much of the American public. Examples: Serial lying by U.S. politicians to use as a pretense to invade Iraq and Afghanistan, killing tens of thousands of innocent people. U.S. politicians shifting enabling blame from their own corrupt actions that encouraged and enabled four groups of terrorists to simultaneously hijack four airliners, and shift the blame to the people of Iraq and Afghanistan—with the help of a dumbed-down American public that is mostly too lazy to learn the truth.
