The flip side of America’s foreign ‘democratic’ interventions & anti-China-syndrome

Posted by Shenali D Waduge On July 08, 2015 0 Comment

While corporate America via think tanks, lobbies and promoted through media get their installed leaders to declare wars, start conflicts, manufacture & sell arms to both sides and then encircle, invade or occupy nations in bids to further acquire profit and expand imperial domination, the mighty nation of America is crumbling apart. By the time corporate America gets to the end-station China apart from the foot soldiers created via evangelical cults Americans would be too impoverished, sedated, suicidal, obese and lack any sense of patriotism to defend their nation. A closer look at the statistics foretell a very gloomy story for America and partner nations in Europe too.

Americans may like to believe that the rest of the world looks up to America, but in fact the rest of the world is laughing at America. Americans are today physically, mentally, emotionally, morally & ethically, financially and politically defunct. If they are not addicted to food, they are addicted to shopping via credit card, tv, prescription drugs. All these added with time is like a time-bomb with values crumbling, traditions being replaced by new liberal experiments which have created a deteriorated American society.

Some alarming statistics

The corporates have found it lucrative to make Americans ill because money is generated for them via pharmaceutical industry / health care facilities & prisons!

American health

More than one-third (34.9% or 78.6 million) of U.S. adults are obese. This number is said to go up to 42% by 2030. In 1962 only 13% Americans were obese.
Medical costs related to obesity annually is $147billion & likely to rise.

Mental illness

43.7 million adults suffered some sort of mental illness in 2012
An estimated 13 million American adults (approximately 1 in 17) have a seriously debilitating mental illness
An estimated 26.2 percent of Americans ages 18 and older or about one in four adults suffer from a diagnosable mental disorder in a given year.
40 million adults in the United States age 18 and older, or 18% of the population suffer anxiety disorder (Anxiety disorders cost the U.S. more than $42 billion a year, almost one-third of the country’s $148 billion total mental health bill)
7.7 million, 3.5% suffer post traumatic disorders

Suicides

suicide is the 11th leading cause of death in the United States, accounting for the deaths of approximately 30,000 Americans each year
Suicide rates for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and questioning (LGBTQ) youth and adults in the U.S. are three times higher than national averages
The economic cost of suicide death in the U.S. was estimated in 2010 to be more than $44 billion annually.
show that at least 90% of teens who kill themselves have some type of mental health problem, such as depression, anxiety, drug or alcohol abuse, or a behavior problem

American children: 4million US children suffer some sort of anxiety disorder.

Approximately 50% of students age 14 and older who are living with a mental illness drop out of high school
Children aged 3-17 years currently had:
ADHD (6.8%)
Behavioral or conduct problems (3.5%)
Anxiety (3.0%)
Depression (2.1%)
Autism spectrum disorders (1.1%)
Tourette syndrome (0.2%) (among children aged 6–17 years)
Adolescents aged 12–17 years had:
Illicit drug use disorder in the past year (4.7%)
Alcohol use disorder in the past year (4.2%)
Cigarette dependence in the past month (2.8%)

What’s Causing the Rise in Mental Health Disorders

Toxic exposures: (Including agricultural chemicals; air and water pollutants; chemicals in personal care and household products; excessive vaccinations; heavy metals; prescription drugs, and more) research from 2009 discovered that infants who lived in homes with vinyl floors were twice as likely to have autism five years later, compared to those with wood or linoleum flooring. Vinyl floors can emit chemicals called phthalates, which are widely used plastic softeners found in much more than just vinyl flooring.

Hairsprays, perfumes, cosmetics, toys, shower curtains, wood finishers, lubricants, certain medical devices and more all contain phthalates. Researchers have suggested the chemicals may contribute to autism by disrupting hormones not only in small children but also in the womb. Mercury pollution is widespread from the burning of fossil fuels, but the use of thimerosal-containing vaccines and dental amalgams—both of which contain mercury—also cannot be overlooked as major sources of individual exposure to this neurotoxin. Electromagnetic fields (EMF): These come not only from cell phones and cordless phones, but also from electrical outlets and Wi-Fi. Cultured or fermented foods have always been highly prized for their health benefits, which we now understand is linked to their probiotics content. The advent of processed foods dramatically altered the human diet, and we’re now reaping the results in the form of rapidly rising chronic health problems.
