TO: the american people
FROM: a concerned neighbour

the USA needs to back-off and allow people the *freedom* to do what they want in life, wherever they may be, or as a friend of Marc Emery says, "the USA needs to have a nice warm cup of 'fuck off' and leave the rest of the world alone!"

in other words, the world does not want the US government / corporate america involving itself in *everyone* else's business, and constantly meddling in the affairs of foreign nations - WE, citizens of the world, in no uncertain terms, resent US foreign policy, particularly when it threatens the sovereignty of foreign nations and their inalienable right to self-determination. relentless interference by the US government into the affairs of other nations is not welcome, not appreciated, and too often destroys the heart & soul, the cultural fabric & identity, and sucks the very life out of foreign cultures & societies. to put it another way, WE rightfully and resolutely reject the US' present right-wing ideologies & its destructive practice of global hegemony & domination.

furthermore, people of the USA need to learn to RESPECT foreign nations and cultures, and come to appreciate the opportunity to LEARN from them... not seek to dominate and impose your will (and laws), or $forge$ fraudulent allegiances with corrupt regimes, and overthrow those that you don't like.

the world does not need, nor want a US-style plutocracy shoved down our throats; the US' relentless pursuit to export so-called 'democracy' - the US policy of imposing faux democracies on the rest of the world to serve its own selfish interests - must come to end. WE simply do not want what YOU think is best for the world (because in reality, only US interests are being served), so back off, leave us alone! the rest of the world will do just fine without your 'help'.

hell, even your own people are now suffering under the present administration's increasingly corrupt, invasive and repressive policies. for a country that is *supposed* to a beacon of democracy (pfft, as if), the pervasive politics of fear, corporate control, conspicuous consumption and rapid erosion of your own citizens' civil liberties and deteriorating quality of life is truly frightening.

incidentally, other nations of the world hate you not because you are a rich & powerful empire, but because you wield your power like fanatical imperial fascists, constantly flexing the muscles of your out-of-control military industrial complex. you garrison & police every corner of the planet as though you own it, and dominate foreign nations to serve your own selfish interests. you behave like a school yard bully, taking everything you want, by whatever means necessary, through insidious propoganda & outright lies, fear mongering, blatant corruption, threats & aggression, military force, you name it... you act as if the the world is YOUR playground. you invade & occupy foreign nations and establish military bases all over the globe. it's all just $business$ as usual for your government. STOP IT!

in the interest of peace and good global citizenship, the US needs to start thinking globally and acting locally (instead of the other way around), and spread *genuine* good will to other nations, practice down-to-earth diplomacy for a change, and realize that true friendships are EARNED. in other words, you can't just deploy the US war machine around the globe, propping-up utterly corrupt puppet regimes to enforce your political will and buy 'friends' to do your bidding (aka US foreign policy), because that kind of disingenuous bullshit will never bring about real, enduring friendships, and even worse, your bought & paid for friends (who are frequently corrupt and/or dictators) eventually become your enemies, and naturally, they will come back to bite you on the ass, in a big way. we've seen it happen already, and it wouldn't be the first time either. wise up.

and for fucksake, stop doing everything in your power to be such control freaks; show some humility, restraint and introspection, because having power over others also comes with the grave responsibility to not abuse it. look inward at your OWN country, not just at what you're doing right, but especially at what's going WRONG... because your nation is morphing into this hideous creature, consuming itself with insatiable greed & lust for power, apparently hell bent on gobbling up everything in its path, regardless of the (dire) consequences, and you don't even seem to realize it.

and my american friends, for the love of humanity, use your VOTE to get rid of those diabolical, fear mongering, soul-sucking, neocon war pigs, aka the Republican Party. evidently, Barack Obama is the ONLY sensible choice you have at this point... don't fuck-it-up (again) this time!

as i see it, Barack Obama is a man of compassion, reason, rationality, intelligence, decency and diplomacy (and it's about time!), but even more importantly, Obama (unlike Bush & Co) doesn't have a hair-trigger finger, poised & itching to invoke the US War Machine at the slightest provocation - which, as the world has seen time & again, is always primed, locked & loaded, at the ready & horny as hell to play wargames with its latest arsenal of high tech weaponry; bombing the shit out of whoever gets in the way of US aspirations, the whims of the ruling elite, and what the US administration regard as their 'god-given destiny' to dominate the globe & rule over everyone. (don't think so? look up 'manifest destiny').

as history has shown us, absolute power corrupts, and insane world leaders, drunk on their own power, eventually crash/burn... ending in a fallen empire (if we're lucky).

the american people also need to start taking CARE of each other, and take back YOUR country, it rightfully belongs to YOU - it does not belong to the elites, not corporate america, not parasitic washington lobbyists & the special/corporate interests they represent, not ass-sucking career politicians & their pork barrel projects, not homeland security or other enforcement agencies of doom & gloom, not right-wing ideologues and their insane war pigs, not soulless enemies of social programs and the arts & education (which are essential to a healthy & functional society), not mean-spirited insurance companies that would see people suffer rather than provide world-class health care for ALL citizens (regardless of status in life or income), not religious fanatics & evangelicals who would deny rights to minorities and take away a women's right to choose, and on and on.

NO, america does not belong to the hawkish neoconservative elites who invoke cynicism, paranoia, fear and blind patriotism as a means to get what THEY want, whilst sucking the life out of the american people. WAKE UP america, your government, the present US administration - the Republicans - have shown nothing but CONTEMPT for all of you. it's time for the american people to get rid of this corrupt neocon regime, forever.
