Our world is changing at a pace that is so staggering these days that
it can be really hard to fully grasp the significance of what we are
witnessing. Hopefully the collection of random facts below will help
you to “connect the dots” just a little bit. On one level, the facts
below may not seem related. However, what they all do have in common is
that they show just how much the United States has fundamentally
changed. Do you ever just sit back and wonder what in the world has
happened to America? The truth is that the America that so many of us
once loved so much has been shattered into a thousand pieces. The “land
of the free and the home of the brave” has been transformed into a
socialized Big Brother nanny state that is oozing with corruption and
has accumulated the biggest mountain of debt in the history of the
world. The greatest economic machine that the world has ever seen is
falling apart before our very eyes, and even when our politicians
actually try to do something right (which is quite rare) the end result
is still a bunch of garbage. For those who still love this land (and
there are a lot of us) it is heartbreaking to watch America slowly die.
The following are 50 random facts that show just how
dramatically America has changed….
#50) A new report released by the United Nations is
publicly calling for the establishment of a world currency and none
of the major news networks are even covering it.
#49) The state of California is so broke that
Arnold Schwarzenegger has ordered California State Controller John
Chiang to reduce state worker pay for July to the federal minimum
allowed by law — $7.25 an hour for most state workers.
#48) A police officer in Oklahoma recently tasered an 86-year-old disabled grandma in her bed
and stepped on her oxygen hose until she couldn’t breathe because they
considered her to be a “threat”.
#47) In early 2009, U.S. net national savings as a
percentage of GDP went negative for the first time since 1952, and it
has continued its downward trend since then.
#46) Corexit 9500 is so incredibly toxic that the
UK’s Marine Management Organization has completely banned it, so if
there was a major oil spill in the North Sea, BP would not be able to use it. And yet BP has
dumped over a million gallons of dispersants such as Corexit 9500 into
the Gulf of Mexico.
