The Cost of America’s Global Agenda
The article makes the case that corporate interests and the military-industrial complex are at the center of a broader global system of corruption and control, which includes U.S. foreign aid and military spending. A merger of corporate and governmental forces, known as the “Global Deep State,” erodes individual liberties via militarization, monitoring, and profit-driven policies. This system uses public funds to fund wars, retain worldwide influence, and operate in defense, technology, and pharmaceuticals. Consequently, Americans find themselves more helpless against an expanding international bureaucracy. The author issues a warning, stating that in the future, this erosion of freedoms will worsen.
Editor’s Note: The concern is that this system is not only thriving but expanding, with everyday Americans increasingly powerless against a vast, international bureaucracy that seems untouchable and unaccountable. The more resources and attention are diverted to sustaining this global network, the less focus there is on the real needs of the American people, whether in terms of healthcare, infrastructure, or economic stability.
The recent hurricane that hit the U.S. highlights this disconnect between international commitments and the government’s responsibilities to its citizens. While foreign interventions and defense are crucial for national security, they should not come at the expense of adequately funding disaster preparedness and infrastructure improvements at home.
As profits are prioritized over people, and war is perpetuated for economic gain, the cost is not just financial, but moral and social.
