American Abetted Coups
Acting Like Democracy Sucks
Judging purely by American foreign policy in the last five or seven decades, Americans hate democracy. It’s true. You would never, ever, and never think that to be the case if you live in America, especially those born and bred. Like myself. Yet here I am. A review of our track record and a brief structural analysis of the current language shows why.
If we go back to Egypt post Arab Spring in 2013, we can see how America backed a coup by Fattah El-Sisi led to the downfall of democracy in a country badly in need. Democracy is good for the people in a country, unless of course the results are not to America’s liking. Thus did Egypt’s first democratically elected president in its modern history end up in the dustbin. Its elected president, Mohammed Morsi, got tossed out in favor of American-backed and funded El-Sisi.
America, when it was born from a Revolution, faced a drastically uncertain future. Americans seem vastly unaware of their own history their politicians seem so boastful about. In fact, it looks bleak. The members of the American Philosophy Society in 1775 formally inducted George Washington and the elected President of America, John Hancock, signed a certificate naming Washington head of the military or “Continental Army,” before President Hancock signed the Declaration of Independence in July 1776.
