What’s Next? | Emanuele Corso



Emanuele Corso -- World News Trust

What was once American democracy is disappearing.

It is being replaced by Authoritarian-Capitalism, a cross between an economic belief system and a trope version of Christianity that is hatching like those creatures emerging out of an astronaut’s body in the filmAlien.

Recently, in a secret meeting with his billionaire sponsors, a Congressman, Mitch McConnell, promised he will work to undo every Federal social program possible. In Mississippi the Chief Justice of that state’s Supreme Court told an audience the First Amendment of our Constitution applies only to Christians. Malthusian zero-sum Christian-Capitalism is reaching for a transformative end game. What kind of country are these people imagining?

The United States has always been about business and money even before it was a country, well before a “Revolution” that did more for business interests than for the general population, women, and people of color. Every 4th of July we celebrate the efforts of a group of wealthy lawyers and businessmen who created a country where their interests and investments would be protected and their prejudices regarding blacks and natives preserved. People who were not property owners, women, people of color, and aboriginals were explicitly excluded from the contract.

Or worse... just wait for the permafrost to release all that methane... nothing will be done in time to prevent it (since it started already).
