Just another trick out of the neocolonial workbook, you thought the US has exclusive rights to apply it?
There is no powerful nation on earth that is not guilty of the crimes you listed!
The whole national shabang is just distraction, there is no national separation in the higer echelons it is just the few of us and the many of them, keep playing into their hand.
Sucks if it hits close to home...

"You can't actually believe that the U.S. refused to recall baby food (or any other kind of food) from our trading partners long after it was known that many people were being poisoned and killed?"
Big business successfully lobbied the government to stop mandatory recalls on the ground that the expenses would be too burdensome to companies.
Its why us consumer protection laws are so bad.
