What do you think about American Imperialism?

American Neo Conservative war hawks like Ted Cruz and Bill Kristol are constantly urging the American public to involve in useless wars. Here is a good read I came across yesterday...

There is no such thing as "American Imperialism" You mistake this for Industrial Imperialism. The USA and all the most profitable countries with large corporate bases are trying to form a global government and any threat to their profits such as smaller third world countries will be brought into line some how whether by violence or being bought out. This has been going on since the Roman times. It is also the primary purpose of the christian religions which were started with the Roman Catholic Church by the emperor Constantine. Constantine realized if he brought all his domain under one religion they would be easier to control and started the bogus catholic church removing parts of the original bible and adopting the new testament which was written to bring the masses under control of the government(s) of the time. Later other christian religions broke away from the catholics to either the appease the people of different countries or just because some priest had a tiff with the pontiff. Muslim religion is no different as it is based on the old testament then some radical idiot had a new addition made to it that was to bring mid-east under more of his control but the masses are too dumb to realize that all organized religions are for no other purpose than to control people easier and in the end do nothing more than to start wars. Look at how people align themselves with certain wrestlers in WWF, NASCAR racers, football and baseball teams. People in general are not very bright and get dumber when they are in a crowd.

Speaking of Bill Kristol, he was a co-founder of the neo-conservative Project for the New American Century (PNAC).....PNAC's website said it was "established in 1997 as a non-profit, educational organization whose goal is to promote American global leadership."...PNAC openly advocated for total global military domination....In 2009, Kristol and the other PNAC co-founder, Robert Kagan, began what some call "PNAC 2.0"."The Foreign Policy Initiative."...Since it's inception, and long before the 9/11 attacks, "PNAC funneled millions of taxpayer dollars to a Saddam Hussein opposition group called the"Iraqi National Congress", which was led by Ahmed Chalabi, who was the Bush Administration's "source" for Iraq having "weapons of mass destruction"...which turned out not to be true...However, Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld & Bush's National Security Advisor, Congoleezza Rice all fully backed Chalabi's false claims about Saddam having WMDs, despite the fact that Chalabi had been sentenced in absentia by a Jordanian court to 22 years in prison on 31 counts of bank fraud...http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/Project_for_the_New_American_Century

Malini: We are inundated with propaganda before every invasion, propaganda that scares the crap out of citizens and remember 9-11 was used to get the country involved more in the Middle-east...I remember watching a Sunday morning news show and seeing Donald Rumsfeld interviewed and being asked if the invasion of Iraq would be over with quickly...he paused and rolled his eyes up like he wasn't prepared for that question and then said "We hope to be out of there soon"....I knew right then and there he was lying and covering up for a long-term involvement, over 1 million mostly civilians died after this long-term invasion.

I hate these damn wars that are fattening up the corporations and have created an oligarchy....John McCain is another war-hawk who never misses an opportunity on TV to promote reasons why American should aggressively get involved in the Middle-east, sticking their foot in the door to pursue more conflict.

@cherokee Well these globalist, war hawks practice a tactic called Invade the world/ Invite the world. First you invade a country on false pretext(WMD's, tyrannical dictators etc) and then force the native population to open their arms to Third World immigrants citing nonsense like tolerance and compassion.
