Millions of Americans will today celebrate 250 years since the United States declared independence from the British crown.
But what is there to celebrate?
The US has been the most violent and murderous state-building experiment in history.
Built from the bones of slaves atop the bodies of the indigenous, fuelled by the blood of the poor, it has created the most deeply unequal society in the west ruled by a new class of billionaire kings.
The sickly violent ethnic cleansing the country was birthed from has become the blueprint and justification for colonial crimes around the world, best reflected today by its disgusting, genocidal, illegitimate proxy in occupied Palestine.
The only country to use a nuclear weapon, the marauding, murderous invader of dozens of sovereign nations, and the single greatest cause of instability in the modern world.
There is nothing to celebrate.
The US is also the single biggest polluter in the history of the world whose military murder machine pumps out more planet-heating gases than entire countries, grim facts which are particularly apt given the record-breaking temperatures that have just pummelled Europe.
None of this is personal. All of us with a conscience born in the imperial core are creatures of circumstance, born where we’re born, grappling with our histories, desperate for change, but trying and so often failing to do anything to advance that change.
And while we might be creatures of circumstance, we are not victims of it.
The victims are the native of the land, the Lakota, the Cherokee, the Muskogee, the Seminole, the Chickasaw, the Choctaw, the Cheyenne, the Arapaho. The hundreds of thousands murdered, forcibly displaced and diseased to death by civilising European whites because their presence got in the way of greed, extraction and ownership. The victims are the non-natives of other lands, the 390,000 Africans imported as indentured slaves, a population which grew to nearly 4 million by 1860, the slaves who literally built the US, from the White House down.
The victims are the Koreans, Vietnamese, Afghanis, and Iraqis slaughtered at the hands of invading forces, the collective body count due to direct violence is unknown, but runs into the millions. Iraq alone likely gave up one million bodies to the forces of American freedom.
And as I wrote in my last article, the US regularly kills with bombs, missiles and guns, but also murders more passively in huge quantities as a secondary effect of its savage imperial sanctions.
The victims of US independence are those genocided by empire’s proxies to maintain hegemonic regional control, including, but not limited to, hundreds of thousands of Palestinians, one million Indonesian leftists, two hundred thousand Maya people in Guatemala, 75,000 anti-fascists in El Salvador, and tens of thousands of communists and leftists who were tortured, disappeared and murdered in Brazil, Chile and Argentina through the 1960s and 70s. American support for domestic fascism, genocide and mass murder has been a historical constant.
The victims are the bison, slaughtered down from 70 million to just a few thousand in only 30 years by European settlers as a genocidal tactic to starve native Americans and force them onto reservations, or the passenger pigeon, whose brash song once filled North American skies, hunted from 5 billion to extinction.
The victims are the American working classes, white, brown and black, sold out for a globalisation which built the socio-economic pyramid which hollowed middle America and consolidated wealth at the top in ever greater concentrations.
But nationalism is a hell of a drug, and through a carefully calibrated educational curriculum designed to perpetuate empire, Americans have been successfully indoctrinated to celebrate this history.
Today’s firework displays will mark a shameful, regressive, bloodstained history few are even aware of.
Again, this is less a judgment on Americans than a judgment on the quality of the system those individuals constitute, and especially the quality of leaders who control and rule that system. And the US, having taken on empire status, and having seeded financialised capitalism around the world, is not just an objectively negative force in the world, but the greatest obstacle to true human flourishing in existence today.
At home, the US system of hyper, trillionaire-producing capitalism is objectively a failure for the majority, producing the greatest inequality in the western world.
Abroad, from the torture chambers of Guantanamo, to the highway of death in Iraq, to rape and murder of civilians by US forces, to the school children of Minab, the US commits acts of such wanton evil that its position as the head of the global international order is surely a sick joke. In Vietnam, interviews with US soldiers found that the rape and murder of children and women “was so common that American soldiers had a special term for the soldiers who committed the acts in conjunction: a double veteran.” The rape of Iraqi women and children was also routine, with only a few high profile cases ever prosecuted, including the gang rape of 14 year-old Abeer Qassim al-Janabi whose father, mother and sister were slaughtered in front of her by US soldiers, before she was then murdered.
Abroad, where, after the 2002 invasion, the US military and the CIA turned Afghanistan into the world’s largest heroin-trafficking cartel, sparking the opioid crisis on its own shores.
The USA is death, it carries death like a mascot everywhere it goes, and everything it touches dies.
On July 4th, there is nothing to celebrate, only millions to mourn.
Save your celebrations for when justice is served and this grotesque empire finally ends.

WOW, I thought every day Americans turning on America was unbelievable. You have taken the hate for America to a new level. I guess that means you are also for the white race being eliminated. The folks who came here first were European and they are to blame for the influx of slaves. America did not invent slavery. It has existed in cultures all over the world and the slaves were not always people of color.
Well, unless people wake up, the new America will not be filled with the horrible white people. America will be taken over by Islam. Talk about a shit show! Crimes against Humanity will be a daily occurrence for those who don't want to accept Islam. Beheadings, stoning women, pedophelia because an old man marrying a 9 year old is perfectly fine. Oh so many other evils for the new America.
Here , some of us were thinking how horrible it was that the Globalist parasites have been destroying the world. Apparently that was just the setup. AI, Islam, Israhell, Rockefellers, government traitors, Geoengineering, HAARP, Directed Energy Weapons. Turns you are not alone in hating America!
Dear Mr. Bear:
When all you see is the worst, the cynical aspect of yourself shines. So in all of mankind’s faults, (or is this just limited to the United States?), what, if any possible remedies are offered? I must have missed that non-cynical aspect of the piece.
I can offer you this: Ability to map out unthinkable atrocities with eloquence without an objective answer to achieve a better world serves only one purpose: to lower vibrations and frequency of the reader. (Whaadayou? a Loosh seeker?) Unthinkable atrocities describing human behavior behaving like devil worshipers straight from Hell acting against other Human Beings is nothing that just started with the United States. And we could agree to name them would appear almost endless when considering throughout all of human history.
Your article is nothing more than YOU taking your frustrations out on those of us that appreciate the only Nation on Earth that recognize ‘ Certain Unalienable Rights” given by their Creator that resulted in the most experienced freedoms on Earth.
We live in Biblical Times and Energies coming to Earth as I write are changing the collective consciousness of many now upon this planet. As a miniscule grain of sand of an offer to prove to you that things are getting better, I will ask you to watch the video and tell me when you have ever seen such a thing happen on Planet Earth – let alone within the United States? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EYpxcbKnqEs
Are you truly concerned about making the planet a better place or just pissed off that people feel strongly about their Nation’s ability to establish the largest middle class population ever seen and experience more freedom than anywhere else on this planet? Your premise appears to be that no one is allowed to feel good so long as one act of disharmony of any kind takes place. I would say POUND SAND and I’ll choose to use my free will and feel as good as I wish to. And in so doing I would hope it rubs off and the collective consciousness develops an upward swing that would do more to eliminate the horrendous behaviors described than 1000 more of your cynical articles. I say we all need to get on the same page of Raising Vibrations.
This screed looks like something that a Democrat would come up with.
