Will Americans Hit The Street?

Why does it have to be people from among the billion plus living on two dollars a day, who must risk their lives in the street? The Wall Street conglomerate dictatorship that has long owned the U.S. government and backs dictators like Mubarak, also imprisons and exploits Americans in its economy of greed. Why shall Americans sit
stupefied, watching people in the neo-colonized third world die in the street?
Egyptians are dying in the street for the sake of all humanity, as well as for their own economic revolution and an end to a dictatorship controlled by the U.S.
People are protesting in the street for the same reason in Tunisia, Yemen, Palestinian, Jordan, Sudan, Algeria and Pakistan.
All this year, people have been in the streets in Europe, protesting, rioting, against bankster rule of their governments, their governments acceding
to the demands of speculating investors, forcing austerity upon, and sacrifice from, the masses of ordinary citizens.
The English, the French, Spanish, Portuguese, Greeks, Irish, Icelanders, Latvians, Albanians and Italians have gone into the street over their banister controlled governments denying them a normal life in return for their labor.
The European Union has deteriorating economic conditions for over involvement with U.S. speculative investment bankstering. It demands unacceptable sacrifice of living standard in most member nations for having bailed out its banksters cooperating with those in the U.S.
This is also the primary reason of the eruption of public anger against dictatorship in the Middle East. Democracy, or democratic parliamentary representation, is the means by which the exploited and tortured hope to establish some pubic enterprise and be able to live in dignity, not privation once the dictators have been overthrown.
- The head of the Arab League told the region's leaders that “the recent upheaval in Tunisia is linked to deteriorating economic conditions throughout the Arab world, warning them that their people's anger has reached unprecedented heights.”
People are in the streets of the Middle East because they have awakened to their power to bring an end to their financial persecution by foreigners and a greedy minority enforced by a dictator.
In the U.S., Americans are becoming fed up with their banister owned government suffocating public enterprise at every level - town, city, state and federal, while dutifully turning taxpayer money over to private investors to invest in cheaper labor abroad, forcing its the nation to borrow from China.
At what point will a majority of Americans overcome their ignorance of their nation’s subjugation of the world, and see they have be deceived by conglomerate owned media’s excusing and justifying imperialism? When will events become so obvious that Americans will break out of their collaborationist mold and speak out in solidarity with exploited Mankind? Stop identifying with a government that does not represent American, but a Wall Street, by nature of amoral capitalism, devoid of any speck of patriotism.
From the Korean war, through the wars in Vietnam, Middle East and in the rest of Asia, Africa and Latin America, how many millions have died while Americans have slept?
Are not enough Americans suffering financial distress to bring them to see the connection between their situation and plight of half the people on earth suffering U.S. wars?
The streets of the United States of America are presently empty of protest.
