Life in earlier days, around the end of World War II

In those days, there weren’t such problems are everyday problems today, as: 

•  Terrorist threats and terrorist attacks from people throughout the world trying to kill Americans.
•  Widespread Middle East violence, originated by arming and aiding and abetting of Israel’s occupation and brutality upon the people of the occupied land.
• Two wars initiated by U.S. politicians, killing and maiming thousands of America, following other  wars started by U.S. leaders on the basis of blatant lying to  an uninformed, unread, and indifferent public.
•  Massive loss of homes through foreclosures.
•  Massive homelessness of entire families, resulting from financial frauds, involving and made possible by large numbers of people throughout the housing and financial sectors, and made possible by the conduct of bribe-taking U.S. politicians, and by government regulators beholden to corporations.
• Massive unemployment, for many, permanent for many others.
•  Asset seizures, the seizure of assets by government employees of people that are never charged of any crime, or who are found innocent.
• Highest incarceration rate of virtually any country in the world, arising partly from legislation enacted by bribe-taking politicians, and partly from career-building prosecutors.
• High arrest and conviction rate based upon perjured testimony demanded and/or paid for buy prosecutors.
•  Corruption throughout state and federal courts.
•  Culture of corruption through local, state, and federal government, inflicting various forms of harm upon the uninformed and unread American public. For instance:

o   Years of preventable airline disasters and deaths—and forerunner of series of successful terrorist attacks—arising from culture of incompetence, self-serving conduct, and outright corruption in the government’s aviation safety offices.

o   Decades of drug smuggling into the United States by CIA assets—with the knowledge and assistance of people in other government entities—and the resulting consequences in long—prison sentences, conversion of cities into war zones, and more.

What Happened, What or Who Is Responsible?

•  Corruption of CIA assets.
•  Corruption throughout government, Department of Justice, financial regulators,
• Culture of cover-ups by media people, making possible the continuation of all of the above.
• Culture of corruption by bribe-taking members of Congress that plays key roles in all of the above.
• Indifference by the unread, indifferent, or lazy segments of the American public.
