Anticipating the future – the United States
When we look at the events that have been taking place around the world since the beginning of 2011 it is hard to miss two broad outlines: Economic disturbance and rapidly spreading protests. This deadly combination has hit more than one country within the past 8 months causing a disturbance that is difficult to contain. When I examine these facts I can’t but end up with a conclusion that the United States is more than vulnerable to such disturbance and that its occurrence is imminent.
People in America have been living under exceptional economic circumstances that have been causing much suffering and building up a momentum of despair and rage that could easily blow up into a wide spread movement of protests that is likely to be accompanied by violence and destruction similar to what we are witnessing in the United Kingdom.
If American law makers and politicians do not see this coming, and I doubt that, then they are really lacking the necessary vision.
It’s coming, and it is going to be the real test for the American long valued democratic ideology that has been hidden and kept away from the hard working people of America and was used for the benefit of the rich and the depletion of the poor in the name of the law.
