Stupid White Collar Terrorists

Prominent Americans speak of their country as exceptional because they’re not equipped with enough brain power to know the difference between exceptional and extreme. They are in truth and other words exceptionally/extremely stupid. They know enough however to employ many and talented scribes to convince the citizens that the opposite is true. Rulers (even the stupidest ones) have surrounded themselves with people singing their praises throughout the ages.

The money-oriented system of government (not THE government) characterizes almost all societies of the modern global world. Keep this in mind when hearing about the following USA figures. 1.1 billion pounds of pesticides, for example, are poured on US farmlands each year. This is extreme compared to the 5.2 billion pounds used throughout the world, but not exceptional.

How many people are affected and die from these pesticides? I don’t know.
It is known that yearly (in the USA):

5,000 people die of diseases in the food they eat.

8000 veterans commit suicide, mainly because of the cocktail of drugs they are prescribed. I don’t know about the other 33,000 suicides, but we can be rather certain that more than many are induced by prescription drugs.

500 000 people meet death because of their medical treatment. Iatrogenics (ailments caused by medical treatment) rates as the third cause of death after heart diseases and cancer.

Over 1000 people are killed by the police every year. The (police) authorities tell us that most of these killings are justifiable homicide. Believe that, Dorothy, and I’ll tell you a story I heard from a tooth fairy.

Between 150 000 and 400 000 people die of obesity related ailments. The government (surprise, surprise) tends toward the lower figure whereas medical expertise lean to the higher ones.

While getting killed by a terrorist is less likely than being struck by lightning or drowning in the family pool, the people in control (the rulers) spend billions of the citizens’ money to battle terrorism and support the corporations who produce and distribute pesticides, prescription drugs and obesity promoting food and drinks. These people are also responsible for the medical system where iatrogenic aliments kill more people each year than all American soldiers in all wars combined.

Stupid? If stupidity were rain, ark building would be the world’s leading industry.
