In this thread, I’m discussing reality, although where do you find reality online? No good evidence that can be trusted.
That’s a good topic of a thread.
What’s difficult is finding supporting evidence that couldn’t possibly be tampered with. I know that sounds paranoid but with all the fake news and fake science floating around, I’m skeptical about much of what I read if I haven’t been a party to it myself.

Untrue.
It is clear (if not to you, at least to other countries) that the influence and power of the U S of A is escalating rapidly and I believe it is highly likely that America will rule the world, it is already the centre of influence and it’s power will determine all major global events.
Explain how you know the power and influence is escalating rapidly? What do you mean untrue when the conditions described in the list of 10 are currently happening, that the USA is being hollowed out to be only a military power overseeing the Jews/Zionist global, communist agenda? The great leveling is happening again worldwide.
The fact is, that all world nations now look to the United States for protection and support and it’s extensive ability to influence on a global scale suggests that the world now has a single power, (the U S of A) at the highest point of the international system. I gather you are referring to a New World Order, which I do not dispute is coming, but this has nothing to do with the Jews/Zionist’s agenda? I see Joker has been discussing this with you
How is it not one in the same thing?
“It is not the same thing” because the Jews will not be the driving force. So, I ask you, what is this Jewish/Zionist “agenda” you write about?
Please explain further.
In a nutshell…
Jews will have not only the property of the whole world in their hands, but the people in that communist hellhole too…I mean that global “Brave New World.” (Aldous Huxley)

“Again the voluminous contents of the Talmud are deceptive, diverse and obscure, requiring close examination…The essentially atheistic Zionist founder and leaders use all of this to their advantage with unfortunate Jews who buy into the phoney Pharisaic fairy tale that they are a specially and divinely chosen folk”.
The Jew Age is going to come back? Nah… they had their chance and blew it.

So, is it reality that the United States of America are the newest third world country?
And if you answer in the affirmative, is it objectively true that the United States of America are the newest third world country?
The USA started to become a third world country as soon as it was overcome by a third world mentality (1913). It wasn’t until around the mid 1970’s that the coin had been sufficiently flipped to claim that the “new USA” was an actual third world country. What is being seen in the 2000 era is merely the turbulent effects of being a third world country.
The most outstanding features that define a third world country is its hegemony and lack of sanity. Just look at the number of people in admiration and worship of the idea of being insane, without civility, rationality, or consistent and trustable environment. The promotion of change is the promotion of irrationality and decline. The hidden, fallacious thought and devil in detail is that naturally any change brings hope and will lead to a better tomorrow.
Although it is true that without false hope, there would be no hope at all, there are far more bad false hopes than good.

What was it that happened in 1913 that allowed this to happen

Yep, and the consequential perversion and slavery of the USA citizenry and corporate population.

It’s worth noting that this same system brought about a society that has raised standards of living for all its members, ushered in world-changing technological advances, and set an example that has been the model of good government for the world for two centuries. You’re looking at the last three decades of increasing partisanship and deadlock and calling it “more of the same”. Would that it were.
Did all hell break loose in 1913 or was that just the finalization of where a new hell would be spawned?

Carleas lives in an imaginary world built from the left over stories and dreams of the original USA. He specializes in believing only what might be possibly true to his ideals and preference, excusing and ignoring all else.

Isn’t that a type of dishonesty, but how do you define it? The Left uses this undefined in my mind type of dishonesty all the time and it makes my skin crawl.

Yes. And not only Carleas loves to deny the reality. Denying the reality seems to be a popular "sport“ on ILP. But he is “merely” the “president” of that “sports club”. Guess who its “managers” and “trainers” are?
This has probably already been covered, this USA decline, but folks barely take notice so I must hammer on it. Times are changing for the worse in the USA but most US citizens refuse to acknowledge the greater reality, the one beyond their bubble of safety, particularly that reality here in the states is as bad as it is. What will it take for US people to wake up?
Are the following 10 signs that the USA is heading towards becoming a 3rd world country true?
- Rising unemployment and poverty:
Unemployment numbers, food stamps, and home foreclosures continue to reach new record highs. The ugly reality of those numbers was recently on display when 30,000 people showed up to apply for public housing in East Point, GA for 455 available vouchers. Fights broke out, people were fainting from the heat while in line, and riot police showed up to handle the angry poor.
- Economic dependence:
The United States finished 2009 with a debt-to-GDP ratio of 85%, according to the International Monetary Fund (IMF). The current trend projects the United States to finish 2010 at 94% and 2011 at 98%. The 90% level has become the IMF’s make-or-break point for countries hoping to grow their way out of debt. If the government debt load climbs above 90% of GDP, economic growth slows so much that growth is no longer a viable solution for reducing that debt, and the IMF insists on austerity measures. Surpassing this debt threshold has also caused China’s lead credit rating agency to cut America’s credit rating.
- Declining civil rights:
Everyday freedoms are often a casualty of a society in collapse. As the anger of the populace mounts in response to declining economic conditions and political corruption, the government counters by increasing draconian measures that restrict the political rights and civil liberties of its citizens.
America is becoming a country like China, which has one of the lowest scores according to Freedom House. In America, private discussions and movements are monitored, free speech is corralled, the freedom to assemble for protest is by government decree, and independent thought that questions the political system is increasingly looked upon with suspicion. A final indicator is when the government insists upon secrecy for its own actions, while new laws and systems are created to put the individual under nearly constant surveillance.
- Increasing political corruption:
When political corruption becomes the accepted norm, as opposed to the exception, then there’s a good bet your country resembles the Third World. Congress and all major institutions face a growing crisis in confidence, where a record-low 11% of the population believe Congress is doing a good job. It now seems obvious to all observers that big corporations directly control the agenda in Washington — much like typically corrupt Third World countries.
Military patrolling the streets:The rise of a militarized police state is a hallmark of most Third World countries, particularly in times of rapid economic collapse. America’s declaration of the War on Terror has created a constant threat to National Security that has allowed for the military to be deployed on American soil. Building upon the War on Drugs, this has created a fusion between the military and local police, where military-grade weapons and tactics are being used against American citizens in a cascade of violent confrontations over non-violent offenses. Military checkpoints are moving farther inland, away from meaningful border control functions, and a full-blown military presence in American cities has been planned by the U.S. Army War College.
Failing infrastructure:
As 46 of 50 states are on the verge of bankruptcy, cities are going dark, asphalt roads are returning to the stone age, and nationwide budget cuts are leaving students without teachers, supplies, or a full-time education. These are common features one will see as they travel through the poorest of Third World countries.
- Disappearing middle class:
During the last presidential debate season, they argued that a family income of $250K was solidly middle-class. Well, Census data shows less than 15% of families make over $100K, and only 1.5% of families make over $250K. The income gap between the rich and poor has increased at a staggering pace, while many more middle-class folks join the ranks of the poor every day. Cavernous income gaps may be what Third-World nations are best known for.8. Devalued currency:
The value of the Federal Reserve Note (U.S. dollar) has declined 96% since the inception of the Federal Reserve in 1913. The value of the dollar is based on its supply in circulation and, to a lesser extent, the demand for those dollars. For the last three years, the monetary base has spiked literally off the charts. It can be argued that the dollar has become America’s top export as the world’s reserve currency, and if the volatile dollar is scrapped, which the U.N. and IMF now suggest, then demand will plummet, killing the currency.
- Controlling the media:
A government-influenced media that censors information is a key component of Third World countries. In some countries it is openly owned by the State. In America, privately-owned major media is not as balanced or as diverse as it seems; the concentration of ownership has led to censorship when national and corporate interests have sometimes overlapped. The persecution of high-profile investigative journalists such as WikiLeaks is set amid a backdrop of the proposed Internet censorship of bloggers who wish to remain anonymous. The end of net neutrality creates a pay-to-play system that can lead to further corporate and government control of information and opinion. Cybersecurity initiatives are the final nail in the coffin, as the entire free flow of information can be vetted in a China-style system of “identity management.” On the street, the police state and media control have converged in the recent rise of arrests for those who videotape the police. This is a huge blow to First Amendment rights and the role of photojournalists who wish to document public police behavior.
- Capital Controls:
Many nations have enforced capital controls as their economies collapse. It most recently happened in Argentina and Venezuela as they sought to keep the remaining wealth within their borders. The SEC already has adopted policies to allow money market funds to suspend withdrawals during a financial crisis, while the recent HIRE bill (HR 2487) puts restrictions on Americans moving capital to foreign countries. Some economists suggest that the national debt has gotten so high that the government must now force investment of private capital into U.S. Treasury debt.
Key economic indicators point to a situation potentially worse than the Great Depression.
The land of opportunity for so many is devolving into a system of government corruption, corporate looting, and military rule that threatens to sink the American Dream. The capital flight from America has left a dwindling middle class holding an empty bag. This style of underinvestment in the foundation of society is similar to what already has led to the exodus from the rural Midwest. Now, there are ominous signs of a silent exodus of young, intelligent professionals seeking opportunities to realize their dreams outside of America; they are becoming known as Generation Xpat. Lastly, many skilled immigrants have returned to their home countries to seek a better quality of life, which might be the scariest indicator of all. activistpost.com/2010/08/10 … world.html
Yes, the ten signs are true.
