They protected the corporations and went to war against their own people to preserve those profits. They supported corrupt governments that were almost like the old slave masters in their oppression of the people, because their loyalty was to those who enable them, restored them and kept them in power, they became the bastard children of American industry, kleptocracy, governments of thievery.
Their lust for power and their greed drove them to betray not only us but themselves and the word of their own God.Īnd while some used missionaries and donations to off set this abuse, other countries and companies were blatant with their crimes, using war, disease, and sanctions that killed millions. Our governments told us that socialism was the real enemy and that we would have freedom, but the foreign powers and corporations were the ones with real freedom the freedom to take all the wealth generated by our work and our land and gave us only a small percentage of the scraps from the table.
First by creating racism to justify slavery, building the capital for capitalism, and then when they gave us what they call liberty, everything we had was still owned by them. They took everything we built and made it theirs. Everything in our country was owned by people that had no connection to our culture, by those who never had our interests at heart, they didn't care about our survival or well being, they just wanted to turn a profit by raping our land, by exploiting our people, our industry and our resources. Once upon a time, we were told that nationalization would prevent growth by limiting competition that our countries were nothing without the companies that invested in us and so they privatized everything. Some corporations are more efficient than government, but their motivation is not the health or the well being of the people it's only about profit, everything else: their image, their human resources, their public relations, only exist to protect the reality behind it. Instead the quality remained almost the same and the price was increased until it became an unaffordable luxury. We were promised a better life in our home countries, where we were told that privatizing water and electricity will make things run more efficiently.
We've arrived from every corner of the planet to this nation to seek the fulfillment of a promise of America.
