America's conflicting values leading to self-destruction.

<body> America's Impossible Dream! With the election of Barack Obama, the thought was that America could be brought together into a harmonious group. The almost total impossibility of reaching that goal was obvious to any thinking and informed person. Among the problems facing a generally harmonious American are the following: Deteriorating values and civility in the United States The changing values and integrity in America during the past 50 years has plummeted. Movies and songs in the 1930s and 1940s had an uplifting quality. Today, much of the "music" and songs are cheap and vulgar, as are many of the motion pictures. The lack of concern for one's appearance has changed to where what was formerly the appearance of low life, or a bum, has become common dress. Where women took pride in their appearance, the masses now are sloppy and often overweight or fat. Human life has become cheap. Brutal murder occur at many times the rate that existed 50 years ago, helped partly by eliminating capital punishment and providing murderers with free room and board, health care, a social life--often more than the murdered had before. In earlier days, taking someone's life would almost certainly result in the death sentence that would be carried out in a timely manner, rather than prolonged for decades. Thanks to the Cassandra's in the population and the failure of people to challenge every screwball concept advanced by some vocal minority, the most bizarre is considered acceptable. People like OJ Simpson−the darling of sport fanatics−brutally knifed to death three relatively weak people, and was then praised and eulogized by much of the population, and set free by members of his black race Total breakdown in the levels of integrity. This has been most recently seen in the endemic corruption in the housing and financial sectors--and the continuation of fleecing the American public through taxpayer money to pay off the speculators whose gambling was guaranteed by such financial institutions as AIG. And the public is too ignorant to recognize that they continue to be taken for fools by the no-strings-attached multi-billion-dollar gifts that, again, are made by insiders acting as regulators, and used to pay off their speculating friends in the financial industry. An almost total contempt for honesty and integrity among the people in the financial sectors and the government that continue to use the naive American public as a feeding trough. The ugly nature by which Americans cannot engage in an honest discussion of events, with the dumbest ones often the most vocal and vulgar in their positions. The low-life culture shown by the songs and movies that have no redeeming or uplifting value and generates an even worsening level of integrity. Songs and movies from the 1930s to 1960s had uplifting qualities, considered out of date in today's culture. Today, songs are vulgar, crude, and cheap, as are many of the movies attended by the younger generation. Male teenagers have a dress code, with trousers half a foot too long, that look like hoboes and slobs. Female teenagers lack the finesse in their dress and appearance that the same age group had in the 1930s to 1970. Manners have fallen to crude levels and worse, with civility virtually unknown. Most Americans are unable to discuss their differences in an intelligent manner, partly from lack of knowledge of the subject and second from the arrogance that has taken hold in the United States. Crude and uncivil conduct has become the norm: Talking loudly on a cell phone in a public place, forcing others to have to listen to their endless gibberish. Boarding an airline with no concern for their appearance, converting what was once an enjoyable experience to something that another person dreads. Their appearance would even be out of place on a Greyhound bus. More information on files relating to the American public, including as a feeding trough for an endless series of con artists and corrupt politicians. Different levels of knowledge− And ignorance−on material subjects Much of the public is too lazy to stay informed that requires continuing reading of information non-fiction books written by insiders or people who have studied the subject. Instead, trivia novels that a moron could be expected to read appears to be big sellers especially to the Cassandra types. Most Americans, obsessed with trivia that doesn't require exerting any mental efforts, such as professional sports, golf, and grandchildren, Arrogance Extending to Cavalier killing Of People in Foreign Countries The arrogant culture of much of the American public is shown by their support for such brutal conduct as the following: The invasion of Iraq that killed a reported one-million-plus people, many of whom were children, and then giving the brutal attacks names such as Operation Freedom (what type of idiot would put such a title on such a brutal action!). The carpet bombing of Afghanistan that killed thousands of villagers who had done nothing against the United States. The reason given by U.S. politicians for the killing was that the Afghan Taliban government allowed the al Qaeda group to reside in the remote areas of the country. Now, the Taliban group has has reacted to the killing of their people by joining the al Qaeda group, resulting in a far greater number of people wanting to kill Americans. The irony of that situation is that people and groups in the United States had far greater and documented corrupt role in the conditions that enabled 19 terrorists to kill nearly 3,000 people. Possibly the wrong people are being killed! By protecting the people in high positions in the United States, another war was started that will probably kill many more Americans and inflame many more people around the world wanting to kill Americans. The people who supported President George Bush despite his blatant serial lying year after year, that started the invasion of Iraq and the thousands of deaths and maiming of U.S. military personnel, plus the other collateral effects. The brutal torture of detainees and deaths of detainees, many of whom were people simply seized in a net of people simply in the target area of mass arrests. The arrogance of many people to either not call the brutal torture, to be torture, or the unsupported argument that the brutality that has been banned by most civilized countries protected the United States from further terrorist attacks The invasion of Korea on serial lying and belief that the people of another country could not decide a form of government other than that in the United States. In the process, over a million Koreans were killed and the United States suffered the deaths of 38,000 Americans and tens of thousands of wounded and maimed. The invasion of Vietnam on the pretense of a naval attack that never occurred, and also on the arrogant position that the Vietnamese people could not choose a form of government other than that existing in the United States. The carpet bombing of Cambodia and Laos as part of the invasion of Vietnam. The brutal torture and killing of an estimated 20,000-plus Vietnamese as part of the CIA's brutal Phoenix program, during the invasion of their country. The invasion of Grenada on the argument that the existing runway was being enlarged for development of tourism−but capable of landing Soviet Union aircraft. The invasion of Panama on the pretense that Manuel Noriega was involved in drug smuggling−which he was, along with massive drug smuggling by CIA assets, especially during the U.S. sabotage of Nicaragua. Details in the books, Defrauding America, and Drugging America. Subverting foreign governments, such as the 1953 orchestrating the overthrow of the elected government in Iran and replacement with the Shah. (Captain Rodney Stich was in Iran the morning that the revolution started.) The widespread practice of bribes by lobbyists and corporations of members of Congress, using the blatantly sham guise of political contributions, with total apathy by the American public. Invading Cuba in 1961 with a bank of heavily trained and armed mercenaries, using the CIA operation based in Florida. The operation, code named Mongoose, and involved the failed Bay of Pigs invasion. The CIA and U.S. military U.S. plans to assassinate Fidel Castro, the head of the Cuban government, and then following up with a financial embargo that inflicted additional harm on the Cuban people. The corrupt misuse of U.S. powers by U.S. politicians followed the ouster of CIA-related mobsters operating in Cuba and another attempt to force the U.S. form of government upon the people of another nation (despite the corruption in the United States form of government by a breakdown in moral and ethics). Decades of invading other countries, and bringing upon the world the Cold War, solely on the basis that the communist form of government was a threat to the United States. Ironically, it is now the communist countries that are financially bailing out the United States through trillions of dollars of loans. Ugliness of Certain Political Pundits Goading the Masses to Even Worse Conduct For various reasons, not of them honorable, many political pundits are inflaming the American people against people and groups with opposing views, thereby preventing intelligent debate on the merits. Certain of these pundits continue to sabotage national interests by such conduct as: Inflaming their listeners with blatant lies and attacks on those people and groups with opposing views, pandering to the lowest intelligence level of mob thinking, and creating an ugly and dangerous culture in the United States. Discouraging discussion on civil terms, which would require exertion of mental capacity, and beyond the level of intelligence of many of their listeners. Pandering to the ignorance about material issues by blatant lies that insult the intelligence of their listeners, Textbook examples would be many of the political pundits on the Fox channel, such as Bill O'Reilly, Sean Hannity, Glen Beck, and others; and especially by Russ Limbaugh, who puts out an endless series of lies and slanted half-truths. They constitute a threat to the United States, partly by eliminating intelligence debate. Ironically, the majority of the American public listen and absorb their slanted dialogue. A recent example was experienced by former federal agent Rodney Stich when he emailed to a number of media people copy of a letter that he had sent to U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder that revealed FBI agents blocking the distribution of valuable information they had received from a mole in the top al Qaeda cell headed by Ramzi Yousef. That mole learned from Yousef of several major terrorist attacks that were planned against U.S. targets. By withholding that information from other government departments, efforts could not be made to prevent the attacks. Nearly 4,000 people perished in those four major attacks. Air American host Mike Malloy, a recipient of the email, replied back with five crude words: "Bat fuck. Get off my email!" and then followed with another profanity: " "Last Time. Fuck Off!!" Ironically, many courageous Americans have paid a heavy price to inform the American people of the threats and sources of great harm, while the likes of Malloy and other political pundits sabotage efforts to inform the people of the truth about what is being done to them. (See www.defraudingamerica.com/recent_postings.html.) Loyalty to a Group or Political party, Rather Than to the Country and to Decency Loyalty to a political party, rather than to the United States or what is right. Loyalty to a political party despite the heavy amount of corruption and lying by the leaders of that party. The most classic example was loyalty by Republican members of Congress and many Republicans to the serial lying and catastrophic consequences brought on by President George Bush. Among the public, loyalty to a gang, and willingly to kill others for wearing the wrong-colored shirt of another gang. Increasingly Corrupt and Criminal conduct Among People in the United States This large percentage of people and groups in the United States engaging in corrupt or criminal behavior, such as: The thousands of people engaging in fraudulent conduct related to the housing industry, which helped bring about the current financial debacle that will result in enormous personal and financial harm for years to come. See America's Housing and Financial Frauds. Thousands of people in Wall Street and other financial firms that engage in fraudulent conduct year after year, the latest resulting in the great housing and financial frauds; and then followed by additional fraud using taxpayer borrowing power to pay back their speculative conduct. Included in the endless series of corrupt practices is destroying companies on the basis of short-term bonuses, and then using taxpayer money to pay off the speculators that should have been allowed to lose their gamble. The decades of cover-ups by media people and media corporations−many of them on the secret payroll of the CIA and other government entities, that have covered up many of the corrupt and criminal activities occurring in high government positions, the most recent being the years of cover-ups of the housing and financial frauds. This conduct is described in almost every of the books related to this site, and including America's Housing and Financial Frauds. Use of unlawful drugs by a large part of the American public−including politicians and presidents−knowing that they are funding the actions by brutal drug smugglers and terrorists. Mexico has been experiencing nearly 6,000 yearly and decapitations a years by Mexican drug cartels seeking to fulfill the drug cravings of many Americans. The hundreds of criminal gangs in the United States that cavalierly kill innocent people, including infants. The thousands of murders a year, including the random drive-by shootings that kill infants and children. Hit and run drivers, leaving badly hurt people to suffer without help. Random drive-by shooting, killing infants and children. Culture of Corruption by People in Control of Key Government Positions The widespread knowledge of corruption by people in key government positions that has not motivated the American people to outrage. Among the tragedy-related conduct that is ignored by most Americans include, for instance: The history of corrupt and criminal activities by people in every level of local, state, and federal government. The blatant lying by politicians and other people in key government positions, playing on the ignorance of most Americans arising from their obsession with trivia and their obsession to avoid learning of the corruption that makes the public a feeding trough. The standard practice of bribe taking and the quid pro quo of virtually every politician. The decades of cover-ups by members of Congress, including conducting controlled hearings to insure that the truth is never known by the naive public. The false charges and imprisonment of courageous government personnel and other insiders who attempt to report the corruption and then have false charges made against them−with total indifference by the blissfully happy American public. The corruption by people and the culture in the highly political U.S. Department of Justice. The endemic corruption of federal judges. The endemic corruption and culture in the legal fraternity. The endemic corruption in the bankruptcy courts. The decades of cover-ups of high level corruption by media people and media corporations, many of whom have been secretly receiving money from the CIA and other government bodies. Voiding Previous Constitutional Rights To Please Societal Manipulators Forcing the acceptance of the homosexual life style upon the American people, forcing a lifestyle that is common in the homosexual community that includes multiple sex partners in a single evening, sometimes in dirty public toilets. If this formerly criminal behavior is to be made acceptable, other people should not be forced into becoming part of this behavior. Forcing the American public to accept legal marriages between two men or two women, contrary to the practices existing for the last 2000 years in most countries. Forcing millions of children for the past two decades to be bused out of their neighborhood schools to faraway schools so as to please tho people seeking to bring about an equal mixing of the blacks with other races. The U.S. Constitution does not require, nor permits, any such taking of people's rights to choose. But the Justices of the Supreme Court forced their societal manipulation beliefs upon hundreds of millions of Americans to please themselves. That conduct would be compatible with other conduct by the Justices of the U.S. Supreme Court. Also violating the Constitution, Supreme Court Justices have repeatedly ruled that schools and others could discriminate and provided preference to blacks. This requirement is outside the role of federal judges that are required to uphold the laws and Constitution of the United States and the Justices' requirement that the Constitutional rights and protections are enforced−rather than violated to please behavioral manipulation. Sampling of Consequences Enabled by All of the Above The following immediate pictures are a sampling of the fraud-related catastrophic airline disasters occurring in the areas for which federal airline safety inspector Rodney Stich had direct hands-on safety responsibilities. They are only a fraction of the crashes and deaths arising from documented corruption and documented cover-ups. Links to pages with more information: Documented corruption in the two government's aviation safety offices: Federal Aviation Administration and the political National Transportation Safety Board. Sampling of the many crashes and deaths enabled to occur by that corruption. Jumping Over Years of Other Fraud Related Tragedies: To September 11, 2001, and Beyond And jumping through years of other fraud-related airline disasters to September 11, 2001, which had additional areas of corruption by some of the early enablers: the forewarned hijackings of four airliners by hijackers and the brutal deaths of nearly 3,000 people. Related pages showing the many enablers of the greatest of all American disasters resulting from terrorist activities made easy by documented corruption within the United States: Original FAA corruption and the butterfly or ripple effects felt on September 11, 2001. List of enablers that made 9/11 possible. Index of pages relating to the September 11, 2001, hijackings. Still More Tragedies Enabled by the Same Enablers All of the above enablers helped continue the culture that played a role in the terrorist downing of TWA Flight 800 and the forewarned Forewarned downing of TWA Flight 800 (and U.S. Embassies in Africa, as detailed in the book, Crimes of the FBI-DOJ, and the Mafia). Letters warning of the impending acquisition of surface-to-air missiles by terrorist groups. (Adobe PDF) FBI-DOJ personnel withholding information on planned terrorist attacks obtained by a New York Mafia soldier acting as a mole inside a key al Qaeda cell. The information from inside an al Qaeda cell including the downing of a U.S. airliner (shortly before TWA 800 went down); the bombings of U.S. Embassies in Africa (shortly before the bombings of U.S. Embassies in Kenya and Tanzania); and the hijackings of U.S. airliners. Forewarned bombings of U.S. Embassies in Africa The terrorist bombings in Africa were among those that were learned by a mole inside the al Qaeda cell headed by Ramzi Yousef, and made known to FBI agents in the New York offices. This information was withheld from other government departments, blocking the taking of preventative actions. Details in the book, Crimes of the FBI-DOJ, and the Mafia. And as been occurring during the past 50 years, the American public will continue to suffer, and very possibly, much worse.
