since Columbus got lost on the high seas and ended up in the Americas
the white men have elevated greed, power, domination to a new level
for over 500 years, the white men’s power has been on the rise
the accumulation of wealth/territory then was through colonies/slavery
the whites had to physically be there to fight and sieze territory/ies
to capture and transport people, mostly blacks, to faraway lands
had to literally whip, in many cases, those people to work for them
in the early part of the 20th century, the white men ferociously fought
not against the people whom they had colonized but among themselves
called it WWI & WWII, even though it started in Europe and by whites
around 22 million people (military and civilian) died in WWI
WWII was more vicious; it witnessed between 70 t0 85 million deaths
European colonial powers were reduced to ashes and starvation
the countries under the colonial yoke had to be freed
across the Atlantic Ocean, the monster called the US saw a chance
it entered the world arena as the super power with its own agenda
it was a colonal power with some colonies, such as the Phillipines
the new US strategy was to control freed countries through institutions
such as the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund or IMF, UN, …
the small countries were/are being crushed under the burden of debt
and are terrorized through weapons such as “democracy,” “human rights”
need for physical presence arises when those countries are insubordine
such as Iraq, Vietnam, Afganistan, ….
but the presence is limited to military, CIA, and neccesary personel
the corporations fucntion in a similar manner too
they don’t go after workers with whip to make them work
the workers themselves are going to go to them begging for work
why?
because the corps have gotten control of all the means of survival
