What a great young man he is. So proud of him to speak out what happened in Guam. Don’t forget US tested 67 nuclear bomb in Marshall island in between 1946-1958 and it was devastated the people around there. Many people die from getting skin cancer,etc and many children were born prematurely and sickness and die young. Fortunately, it was an independent country now. Peace.
I have also written about the human rights and environmental destruction of the Marshall Islands with the nuclear waste dump "The Dome" increasingly polluting the surrounding "ocean.
The Marshall Islands are still 100% controlled and owned by the USA! The richest islands are occupied by Whites while the islands that have been devastated by nuclear radiation and served as landfills for Whites are occupied by the native Marshall Island people so that every successive generation continues to die young from cancer caused by nuclear radiation!
Right after critical race, theory and how government fiscal spending and the sleepy Joe administration with the dead beat congress, is going to curb inflation while spending more, and more and more and more and more on worthless endeavors.
Heard, then what? When the WMD lie about Saddam Hussein was spreading around by high position politicians and their echo chambers in the MSM, many heard that it was a lie -- purely fabrication. And then what, people heard that it was a lie, still the US and its vassal the UK invaded Iraq in 2003, MURDERED Saddam Hussein, and occupied the country for almost 20 years by now, the alleged WMD is still nowhere to be found, and the murderer of Saddam Hussein still went on having good life and no one was punished for that. Even if you despised Bush 43 and the US government, so what? Does despising Bush would help in any way? Zip, Null, nothing!
The natives of Guam should declare themselves independent of the US and demand the removal of all US military presence on its land. It should not continue to allow the US to suppress it's freedom.
We would just invade them or do some covert action in their government. The US is fucking brutal and has no scruples about advancing the interests of its capitalist class by any means necessary.
The people of Okinawa overwhelmingly voted for decades to rid themselves of ALL US bases but their wishes were over=ridden by Tokyo under US pressure. South Koreans still remain partially occupied by 50,000 US military which prevents any peace and normalization with NK.
" Adoring Aunts feeding other peoples children " Ahahhhhh , that just slayed me !! Grace be with you good warrior , there is much in your gifts ! PEACE !
As a CHamoru born and raised on Guam, I find Julian's perspective on Guam's relationship with the US one-sided. More power to him, but he doesn't represent all of us.
I agree. He comes across as a person of good character and it would be interesting to see how his passions change with the acknowledgement of others' perspectives.
Comanche nation representing, I'm tired of this too brother. We should all have indigenous protest day. Go away colonialism day. One global protest. Where all our brothers and sisters from Australia, Americas, Asias, Africas, all over , every tribe every nation, protest. At the same time, stop accepting colonization
You need only follow the money--it's for profit, ALWAYS. Weapons manufacturers and all the other private industries that support the Military Industrial Complex, Surveillance State, etc. The US military is also the largest consumer of fossil fuels.
As an American, it saddens me to witness the hypocrisy of my government. We cry war cries when China builds a military base in Djibouti (next to a USA base) and warns countries that China is expanding. Whereby my country has over 70 known military bases around the world. 'known' bases.
I visited Guam cuz it was the closest place to Japan for an American shopping experience w/ Kmart, oversized breakfast cereals, etc. I was awed by its natural beauty and Guamanian's kind demeanour despite the aggressive military presence. I got a personal tour from the bartender around the island and was so welcomed by her cousins and brothers and sisters...first/only time I had pork cheeks done in a han-ni! Of course the US has a responsibility to leave and fix damage caused but good luck with that...'Americans always do the right thing after trying all the wrong things'
Free Guam! Free Hawaii! Free the Marshall Islands! Free Samoa! Free Puerto Rico! These are all islands the US illegally seized without the permission of the islanders! Give the native people their lands, dignity, and sovereignty back! Yankees must go back home!
I think it doesnt really bother us, because islanders are very family oriented and our society here is not divided, we really just focus on work, family, beach, bbq...we have a pretty simple life style and Im happy, especially since weed became legal....
@@grandwonder5858 a majority of us on Guam dont want to be freed. Guam wasnt illegally seized by the US, we were illegally seized by Spain and Japan. US saved us from imperial Japan. Agree with your last statement though.
I’m really grateful to hear from Julian today! In the remote possibility that they’ll see this comment, I noticed that you said “sort of” dozens of times in this interview. I encourage you not undermine your own words when you’re speaking in such a powerful way by equivocating in that way. As a listener, it’d be more effective if you simply paused, in my opinion. If something is described as “sort of” true, it leaves room for dispute and provides cover to those advancing a more sinister agenda.
excellent advice. I say "sort of" too when I am thinking and will try to pause instead. We need such strong voices. Thank you Amy and Thank you Julian.
You hate "sort of" ? lol I read the UN report against the Chinese anti-terrorism re-education programs. That is 45 pages of "possible" "horrible abuse" against religious extremism and "likely" "legit documents gained from the street" about racism/stereotyping. LOL why is the USA abuse ignored by the UN?
@@letsomethingshine where did I write that I “hate sort of”? Oh, I didn’t. What I did do, was encourage the speaker not to add an equivocation to their talking points by preceding them with the words “sort of”.
Thank you for sharing this interview with Julian. I learned a lot about Guam. I hope all goes well for him and his country people. Sincerely, from California.
@@ralphzoombeenie2330 Yes, I read about Hawaii's history in a book titled "Overthrow" by Stephen Kinzer. It was so wrong what they did to those people.
SO INSPIRING !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What kind of a world would we live in if Democracy Now didn't bring voices like Julian's to our attention. I am so grateful to DN! and of course to Julian. I pray with every fiber of my being for the swift decolonization and demilitarization of the Pacific and everywhere else on Earth that suffers under the brutal rule of Western imperialism.
But you do not want to hear about CRT. History repeating itself. What the hell, the USA have not settled it’s debt with Cuba nor Puerto Rico. How can you expect a Country to come clean. You will not catch unchained Black person, to come to this USA. We do what we do…
I feel really sad and sorry for Guam and its people. By upping the ante in Guam to the extent of a clear and existential threat it leaves no room for Guam not to be a strategic target in order for China to preserve its own safety and national security vis-a-vis the US.
😒 From a born and raised Guamanian. Omg. Guam can not survive on its own. And Guam's government loves the military and our governor now said it herself that she'll milk it. Another thing. Learn about platonic
My solidarity to the people of Guam who suffer US colonialism and the perils of militarism. Thank you for your work and hoping that some day justice reaches your people as well as the people of Puerto Rico.
US treatment of Guam is wicked and depraved. Wishing that US military would die out forever. What US is doing in Guam is SO unbelievably destructive to all of nature. Wildlife, nature, and humans of Guam are literally being attacked right now. US is destroying beauty on this earth yet again. I am heartbroken.
If America leaves Guam, China will take over the island. Guam is a tiny rock in a strategic place. The economy depends on US personal spending $ and kickbacks from the US. Half locals work in local government with the other half in hospitality. All jobs tie into supporting one of these. If US government leaves Guam, the economy collapse(you cannot have half the island workers supporting half the island being in government) and will be taken over by another power. As for colonialism: that was Spain.
China is not in the colonizing business, it is more interested in trade. Guam would most likely become a major tourist destination for the ever increasing Chinese overseas travelers. In 2019 more than 140 million Chinese took overseas vacations (and went home)
The US absolutely takes advantage of the local population (housing costs are driven by military housing allowances, for example), but anyone who thinks the vacuum of a US withdrawal wouldn't almost immediately be filled by another nation is delusional. We celebrate Liberation Day for a reason.
One of the best ways to prevent war is to have neutral buffer states that separate great powers. Nations like Guam and Ryukyu (Okinawa) historically had that important role -- a role that has been denied to them by American imperialism.
Who would be in charge of Guam if not the USA? Guam doesn't have the capabilities to be sovereign. If it's not the US would Guam prefer China or Russia? Im not disparaging Guam ancestry. Just look at the chinese Uyghur. I live on mainland and don't have a choice of my overlords. Who does Guam want their overlords to be? No one is not an option. Whether you want it or not. It sucks, I know. There is no poetry in China, or Russia.
Are you saying the people of Guam have no right to self determination? I doubt you live in mainland China or you would know how the Uyghur situation has been weaponized by The US. You would know that the people of Xinjiang , not only the Uyghurs are reaping the benefits of economic progress following the elimination of the few thousand radicalized Wahhabi terrorists who fought alongside ISIS in Syria and Afghanistan.
@@ralphzoombeenie2330 Absolutely NOT!!! I advocate self determination. What I am saying is if the US, which has one of the best self determination models on earth is allowing them to be heard, this would not be afforded in China or Russia. Which is why I cited the Uyghur. Guam would be reeducated like the dissidents in CHina and Russia. And if the US leaves, you won't really have a choice. They're not going to listen to the Native population. They will inturn or exterminate the people of Guam. Weather we discuss it or not. Same goes for Hawaii
I live on Guam and do not support the 5,000 Marines coming here. However, I do support the US Milirary. M Bordallo, former Guam congresswoman pushed for this move. Hank Johnson tried to stop it because the island might TIP over.
It saddens me that Julian lacks a broader understanding of Guam's place in the world, geopolitically speaking. Mostly because the roots of his message are universally applicable.
@EMAN67:RP forum not really. Myopia, regardless of clarity, is still a limited perspective. But it's difficult to be both passionate and unbiased in regards to one's place in geopolitics. He's eloquent and intelligent but doesn't speak with a perspective broad enough to come to workable solutions. He wants them out, you say. Ok, but that's quite naive.
@@healingsallaround We subsidize Americans through hydro and oil sales. They own too much business and shut Canadian businesses down so Americans take over. Ontario is the only province in Canada where the internet is both owned and secured by Americans, and our capitol city, Ottawa, is in Ontario. Financial anything online is just going to rip you off, a little at a time. Other provinces have restrictions for Ontario financial institutions. Just yesterday employees at Zehrs, a huge supermarket, were saying they don't want to become cashless.
I wonder how Americans decide who should be free and independent🤔 Taiwan? of course!!! Donetsk? No Quebec? No. Scotland? No. Western Sahara? No. Tibet????? Of course!!! Puerto Rico? No. Guam? No. Kosovo? Of course!!!
Move US marine currently Okinawa, Japan’s southern island to California where a lot of people are moving out. Then US will understand what a war means.
You left out that the government of Guam, allows it, encourages military enlistment and like all countries in the world at one point in history...basically has sold out its people. They were colonized by the Spaniards, held hostage by Japan and “saved “ by America. It’s an amazing jewel of the pacific, but tell the whole truth.
What he said is all true but sadly, without the help of the US, Guam would have had some serious hard time in many different ways :( I hope we can all figure this relationship in a way that benefits everybody.
The dude has to think differently, the world is different now that Russia invaded Ukraine and China is threatening Taiwan. Every place on Earth was taken over, his ethnicity: Asian in the form of the Mongolian empire almost killed off all Europeans. It's not the time for claiming who was the more victim during history, now is the time to think "I'm on a strategic military location, one of the most important in the world, should I leave because it's a dumb place to live?" humans are crazy, China took out millions of their own people Russia took out enough people to become the largest country on Earth. Guam isn't alone in colonization, you're not the only dudes, the Japanese people got rid of almost all of the indigenous people of Japan, the Ainu; basically to the Ainu the Japanese are the same people as the Americans in terms of colonizers into native land, the Taiwanese indigenous people were colonized by China (China took out many ethnicities within it's own land control), their culture almost entirely wiped out. Off all the islands of Asia there were a black people and Asians got rid of almost all of them, the only place where they live now is Papua New Guinea, Philippines in small numbers and they're mistreated badly, even Guam could have killed off these Black people, don't talk about "colonization" without the genocieds made by Asians to a black people. It's no time to talk about colonization, it's time to know that you live at a place where people shouldn't live as this is where militaries of the world will fight for. During these times I think you need to leave Guam if you want to live. You're talking about losing a forest, that island will probably be wiped off the map! Did you see what Russia is doing to Ukraine? They don't care about death. Japan attacked Guam, the US saved Guam from them, the Japanese had a program to breed with the Ainu forcefully to wipe them out of existence, did the US do this to you? Do you know who these guys are who are training on Guam? If you leave Guam for the US, Japan or South Korea they will be fighting for YOU!
No they are not. They want independence from the evil US empire and finally when the evil empire is collapsing for the good, the people of Guam, Puerto Rico, Micronesia, Hawaii, Alaska, Texas, California etc all will be free and independent.
@@thecomment9489 Well they certainly vote as if they are. In fact they are US Citizens, except they don't federal taxes. Guam, like Puerto Rico, elects their own governors, and have their own legislatures. But becouse they are not yet States, Guamese or Puerto Ricans , do not pay Federal income tax. They still have to pay their local taxes. Federal money from Congress is for roads, airports, schools. Just about every Guamese male enlists in US Armed Forces. Spread between Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, and Coast Guard.. They see it as right of passage and duty. G*d bless them. So every four years they vote to ' 1. Remain a Territory Of US 2. Petition US Congress for Statehood 3. Petition US Government for formal Independence. Every four years Guam resoundingly votes to remain a territory of US. They get benefits of US, the Federal money, tourism, and lots of Defense dollars, and no liabilities as they are free of Federal income tax burden. US Military and hotels are #1 and #2 employers in Marianna Islands. Guam, Saipan, Tinian. US got them initially due to US victory over Spanish Empire in Spanish-American War of 1898. US also got Philippines, which was granted independence in 1930's. Japanese occupied Marianas during WWII, and the fight to get those islands from Japanese was brutal and bloody. Especially Saipan, which was Japanese before WWII.
So the US supports Taiwan independence from China, yet they have refused Guam independence! Hypocrisy beyond belief! All fair minded, thinking Americans should be ashamed by their govts behaviour and actions.
If you didn't know it, WAR is inevitable and if we didn't have WAR, we wouldn't have the freedoms that we so much enjoy today. Yes, I must agree that war is sad and there are many opinions about WAR that we can all agree on, but the bottom line to me is, we have to do what we have to do. Julian, I commend you on your work and determination.
US talks about lack of democracy and human rights in its adversaries, but when Guam is concerned it has no democracy and no human rights. US is treating the indigenous people with disdain, in the same way it treated the native Americans 250 years ago. Then the native Americans described " white man speak with forked tongue". Today this is still the case.
The US needs to expand and strengthen it military facilities on Guam. The are needed for the forthcoming US - China war. It is commendable of you to be worried about the possible extinction of the Eight Spot Butterfly. You must urgently write another book "No Planet for Human Civilization".
When will the US respect the rights of other people. Spreading freedom and democracy is a myth. As Julian mentioned much of the US military build up in Guam is a result of the people of Okinawa's pressure to rid their islands of US occupation. The Okinawans have only been partially successful despite an overwhelming vote to entirely remove the US military presence which has occupied up to 25% of Okinawa and created vast areas of environmental damage and social unrest since WW2. The destruction and radiation health problems and pollution resulting from 67 nuclear tests on the Marshall Islands is a hidden human rights and environmental crime. In the Indian Ocean the US with co-operation with the UK forcibly removed and banished the Chagos Islanders then effectively annexed their islands for the military base of Diego Garcia. Despite the UN finding in favor of the Islanders they are threatened with 10+yrs jail if returning to their homelands. The bases mentioned plus scores of others have but one purpose, to threaten China. The US has become a very sick Empire with seemingly a death wish.
I’m sure China will respect and preserved all Guam’s indigenous species and their natural habitats just as they preserved the sea life and natural reefs where their manufacture island military bases now stand.
American Citizens of the U.S. Territories unprivileged to vote for POTUS. Why is it when a refugee of a war torn country applies for, or is granted political asylum, establish residency in CONUS, becomes a U.S. / American citizen they are privileged to cast their vote.? With the U.S. Territories combined we rank 2nd to the state of Texas in Veterans / DAV per capita . With all this military build up, tension & threat w/ China - N.Korea what protocol or playbook does the civilian population react too in an event of an invasion?? If the Government has a protocol for Typhoon, Earthquake & Tsunami where does "what do we do in case of an invasion of a foreign country" or do we repeat Dec 7 1941.???
Beware of US militarism. Being a protectorate or US colony-like state or territory will jeopardize the security of inhabitants. US does care the danger that looms in these places as long as it achieves its own interests (hegemony and dominance). It is better to lose the so-called protection from US than to live in a war torn place in tie future. Are the people under US governed area really better off today than before in terms of human rights and standards of living? I truly doubt as majority of US mainland citizens are having hardship with basic necessities to live.
Think if we were not there most of the people there would not have good jobs and a better life. Think if Japan would of won ww2 they could be in a worse place.
China will at least develop their economy and build the infrastructure for that. The US government does not want this but rather wants Guam to be poor and continuously be reliant on the US for aid.
@@waltergoodwin7463 ask yourself that question about any western power. Ask yourself are people that choose to do business with the Chinese stupid? If, so you're saying 99.9% of countries around the world are stupid people.
@Walter Goodwin. As an American or westerner, you do no learn or are not reminded by your media of the following facts. First, China does not colonize ("administer", you say) other people, while the US colonizes people half a globe away. Second, China has lifted 800 million people out of abject poverty, and has actually abolished poverty, while the US has half a million to a million homeless people living in the streets. Third, before the Covid19 pandemic broke, 150 million Chinese left China to see the world as tourists (more than American tourists by tens of millions). And they all returned home! Don't assume people would rather be colonized by the US than having an equal relationship with China.
On Guam there are 153,000 residents and 23,000 of them are armed forces personnel. There are three bases there. A pull out from Guam would guarantee poverty for that location.
China will help Guam develop an economy. Something the US government is reluctant to do because they like to keep their colonies underdeveloped and reliant on the US.
@@thetreekeeper143 You're joking. 100k people on a remote island in the pacific will be nothing more than China's pawn to do the exact same as the US. Military outpost. Its esp tantalizing for the CCP because its beyond the 1st island chain.
He should have been worried about the lack of BIRDS. The Brown Tree Snake has decimated all bird existence on Guam. Their Electrical power grid is snarled with issues from these snakes. And the Grid is Post WW2 infrastructure. Hasn't improved much since than. Brown outs are very common. BTW if it weren't for the US, Guam would still be Japanese held. How quick they forget.
You lack the euphemistic sophistry that if/when it happens it'll be to the extent of the extinction of (even) their native butterfly species, which signifies the erasure of literally all life 🧬 in, on and over the island nation. Guam is being prepared by its US administrators to be sacrificed to the extent of its entirety, once for all. Can't you see the tears welling up in Julian's eyes?
Lmao the only reason we're even anywhere close to having world war 3 is because of US military aggression. The US starting and provoking conflicts around the world. The US military is also the biggest contributor to climate change which will soon be displacing hundreds of millions if not billions from their homes and countries. The US military is the biggest threat if not one of the biggest threats to world peace and doing anything to stall, stop, or thwart their plans is a good thing.
Can all in left-YT please start educating people about both: (1) the difference between right-authoritarian vs. right-libertarian; & (2) the difference between left-authoritarian vs left-libertarian? It’s long overdue. People aren’t cattle or sheep: They will understand if we educate them. Though we need to educate (& learn) about all the nuance.
Sure. Go ahead. I’m listening. But to be honest I’m more worried about the “republicans” differentiating between conservative democratic values and right wing fascism. We can debate nuance after we can all agree to continue to be a democracy.
It's the same situation for Okinawa and even for South Korea. They allow some parts of their lands for U.S. military to use. Facing the aggression of China and North Korea, that's a wise decision for them. Yes, there are environtal problems and other issues, but the protection of the people comes first. You always have to weigh pros and cons. Guam cannot defend itself against China. The moment China sees the U.S. defense weakened, it will invade the island.
They'll be begging for Guam militarization once Chinese ships start circling and missiles start flying. The butterflies can not defend themselves... Hypothetically speaking if the US were to leave Guam it'd be ripe for the picking by the CCP. And Guam can not survive in isolation in the middle of the pacific.
Such a foolish comment !!! They were fine before the US militarized the island , and maybe with US gone other countries might do new trade deals with them including China
They will survive if they become independent and have their own sovereignty and security and have bilateral relationship with china and others in the region. USA haven't militarised Guam to protect the guam people, its for their own interest lol
@@RudeBoi2971 Guam has no economy, no industry, no military without the US. Cant even sustain their own food or fuel in the middle of the pacific without frequent shipments. If war were to break out and Guam were an independent nation, it would not be long before someone invaded due to its strategic location.
What is this guy's argument? He acts as if Guam was used for anything else. They know they promote this guy because he looks Mexican and is clearly a bent man.
@@johnwattdotca If he does not look Mexican - then you must live in any place but the western hemisphere! I don't know any bent people, but he sure is a bent male. Having him on is in keeping with the latest brainwashing agendas
I saw your view on the "militarisation" on Guam. First of all, one can see that Guam have allways beeined militariased. But the US eskallaition on militarisation, all over the world, at the same time that theire underlaying production economy is broken, and theire both underlaying economy and gigantosaurisation of theire loansituation and theire before the pandemic, "day to day", needed solving on how to get "founds" to pay for intressed rates and mortgage on the same, now have reach a totally diferent face. For long, the state of US A have "created" ever increasing loans, for and on its citizens by this FIAT money creation. Creation, at pace that made it impossible to even print these as bills! Now have made the state and the FED have to deal with situations occuring seconds for seconds. And the handling and priotarisation of the payments not longer are handled by persons but by so called automats, i e a computer with programs running "themselves", and were the earlier placed "parameters", where made by persons, now are made by an other software!!! This have been forced to be done, why the loan burden for the american people and state, are so enourmus. And are also "reshaped" in a pace so fast that no one can imagine. What with militarisation of Guam? And all the mil fasc all around the world that the US are "locked" to? They cant afford them! Thats why they are in the present "last dance at the pram" mental state. And are provoking and starting wars all over the place. Economically, the US today, the 16 of october, are in an even more economicaly hopeless place, than Nazi Germany where in 1938! They had, by putting all money on one card, to expand thru war, and in that way get hold of "new" rawmaterial, markets, resourses as gold and oil. But also FOOD, and labour force at low economic cost. They went all in. And for about ten years, they were supported by lenders from all over the world, mainly from the US and GB, among those lenders that not were domestically "placed". But with the U S of today, and in fact also the UK. Both have become theite own images prisoners. But now have come the time to pay the debts. And they can't. They just can't!! So to keep it running for just some days, based on the saying, "tomorrow is another day,", they hope gor a miracle. And, and my friend, as the Nazis of 1937, to prepare for what they see as inevitable, the war. And not one of the houndreds sinom houndreds they have placed on small and weak nations since the WWII. No, now they" prepare "for the big one. Thats why they try to weaken the other four, China Russia EU and India. Non of these cant be allowed to persist, according to the current american stately doctrine. So what to do. First, the US most be made to pay for theire own debts by theire own production and work. And this will be the toughest negotiaion point to get them to grasp. Cause theire leadership and the present narrative formers of the US have since long, come to be those that have a "thieves mentality", "traders", husslers, scamers, bulliers, and generaly, a strata of oportunistic, in the bad meaning, power dependent roolers of the american people. And this is a shame for the american society. One of the most hardworking and innovativ PEOPLES in the world they were. And now, a society crushed and impoverishe to a degree that are unthinkable for one that have experienced its peoples glories time. It is really, from my heart, sad to see all this. And with the current power groups fatal waving of theire arms and provoking, I don't see much hope. So instead of plundering the own people and others, WORK! Instead of stealing, WORK! Instead of creating wars and unrest, PEACE! instead of bullying, "give thy nabors a helping hand in THEIRE dispare", And you will have the chance to get support. Stop your murdering of other views and persons, and you eventually will get back theire respect. Stop creating loans never meant to be repaid, Start paying of the since many years "created loans", to both the peoples of US as to the world. So start WORKING. Stop making war. Build instead of destruction. You have grasped it? Good.
We honor our vet's for protecting us from say issues like poverty and jet fuel in the drinking water. " Oh wait" You say they exasperated these problems only to empower the wealthiest scumbags. "Oh" I say to thee. You are very correct.
So much about us preaching democracy to the world, preaching democracy to the Taiwanese people. Yet here are the Chamoru people fighting for self determination, basically fighting for democracy yet we keep it denying to them.

Even if you despised Bush 43 and the US government, so what? Does despising Bush would help in any way? Zip, Null, nothing!
The natives of Guam should declare themselves independent of the US and demand the removal of all US military presence on its land. It should not continue to allow the US to suppress it's freedom.
They can't because the US government won't let them. The US has all the military power.
honduras tried
We would just invade them or do some covert action in their government. The US is fucking brutal and has no scruples about advancing the interests of its capitalist class by any means necessary.
The people of Okinawa overwhelmingly voted for decades to rid themselves of ALL US bases but their wishes were over=ridden by Tokyo under US pressure.
South Koreans still remain partially occupied by 50,000 US military which prevents any peace and normalization with NK.
Cannot help but to love this gentleman; Julian Aguon 💖

As a CHamoru born and raised on Guam, I find Julian's perspective on Guam's relationship with the US one-sided. More power to him, but he doesn't represent all of us.
Agree also Chamoru born and raised.

I agree. He comes across as a person of good character and it would be interesting to see how his passions change with the acknowledgement of others' perspectives.

military for what, expansion? wtf for? some kinda money? and for who? a few oligarchs? wtf?
You need only follow the money--it's for profit, ALWAYS. Weapons manufacturers and all the other private industries that support the Military Industrial Complex, Surveillance State, etc. The US military is also the largest consumer of fossil fuels.
It is reported that 30% of the US economy is directly or indirectly tied to the production of weapons of war.
As an American, it saddens me to witness the hypocrisy of my government. We cry war cries when China builds a military base in Djibouti (next to a USA base) and warns countries that China is expanding. Whereby my country has over 70 known military bases around the world. 'known' bases.
Very beautiful poem.
The War Machine is madness personified.
I visited Guam cuz it was the closest place to Japan for an American shopping experience w/ Kmart, oversized breakfast cereals, etc. I was awed by its natural beauty and Guamanian's kind demeanour despite the aggressive military presence. I got a personal tour from the bartender around the island and was so welcomed by her cousins and brothers and sisters...first/only time I had pork cheeks done in a han-ni!
Of course the US has a responsibility to leave and fix damage caused but good luck with that...'Americans always do the right thing after trying all the wrong things'
Free Guam! Free Hawaii! Free the Marshall Islands! Free Samoa! Free Puerto Rico! These are all islands the US illegally seized without the permission of the islanders! Give the native people their lands, dignity, and sovereignty back! Yankees must go back home!
You had sisig. Pinoy style. 😊
I think it doesnt really bother us, because islanders are very family oriented and our society here is not divided, we really just focus on work, family, beach, bbq...we have a pretty simple life style and Im happy, especially since weed became legal....
I love this and glad you enjoyed the stay. I miss home everyday and miss the people even more.
@@grandwonder5858 a majority of us on Guam dont want to be freed. Guam wasnt illegally seized by the US, we were illegally seized by Spain and Japan. US saved us from imperial Japan. Agree with your last statement though.
He hit the nail on the head ..
I’m really grateful to hear from Julian today! In the remote possibility that they’ll see this comment, I noticed that you said “sort of” dozens of times in this interview. I encourage you not undermine your own words when you’re speaking in such a powerful way by equivocating in that way. As a listener, it’d be more effective if you simply paused, in my opinion. If something is described as “sort of” true, it leaves room for dispute and provides cover to those advancing a more sinister agenda.
excellent advice. I say "sort of" too when I am thinking and will try to pause instead. We need such strong voices. Thank you Amy and Thank you Julian.
You hate "sort of" ? lol I read the UN report against the Chinese anti-terrorism re-education programs. That is 45 pages of "possible" "horrible abuse" against religious extremism and "likely" "legit documents gained from the street" about racism/stereotyping. LOL why is the USA abuse ignored by the UN?
@@letsomethingshine where did I write that I “hate sort of”? Oh, I didn’t. What I did do, was encourage the speaker not to add an equivocation to their talking points by preceding them with the words “sort of”.
Thank you for sharing this interview with Julian. I learned a lot about Guam.
I hope all goes well for him and his country people. Sincerely, from California.
Lets not forget the Coup which stole the Hawaiian Islands from their people in 1893
@@ralphzoombeenie2330 Yes, I read about Hawaii's history in a book titled "Overthrow" by Stephen Kinzer. It was so wrong what they did to those people.
SO INSPIRING !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What kind of a world would we live in if Democracy Now didn't bring voices like Julian's to our attention. I am so grateful to DN! and of course to Julian. I pray with every fiber of my being for the swift decolonization and demilitarization of the Pacific and everywhere else on Earth that suffers under the brutal rule of Western imperialism.
But you do not want to hear about CRT. History repeating itself. What the hell, the USA have not settled it’s debt with Cuba nor Puerto Rico. How can you expect a Country to come clean. You will not catch unchained Black person, to come to this USA. We do what we do…
Well said
God will reward them for their evil doings. My love to the people of Guam, stand strong and united.
Hopefully real soon !
🙃
What do we have to stand strong for?
Best of best!! Much love to him and his
I feel really sad and sorry for Guam and its people. By upping the ante in Guam to the extent of a clear and existential threat it leaves no room for Guam not to be a strategic target in order for China to preserve its own safety and national security vis-a-vis the US.
😒 From a born and raised Guamanian.
Omg. Guam can not survive on its own. And Guam's government loves the military and our governor now said it herself that she'll milk it.
Another thing. Learn about platonic
My solidarity to the people of Guam who suffer US colonialism and the perils of militarism. Thank you for your work and hoping that some day justice reaches your people as well as the people of Puerto Rico.
US treatment of Guam is wicked and depraved. Wishing that US military would die out forever. What US is doing in Guam is SO unbelievably destructive to all of nature. Wildlife, nature, and humans of Guam are literally being attacked right now. US is destroying beauty on this earth yet again. I am heartbroken.
I'm wondering if Guam realizes that makes their country a Target. 🧐
Our Insanity of the MIC knows no end. I am so sorry to the people and all life on Guam.
Thanks Amy and DN for a great show today! Thank you Julian ! Now I have 2 topics to write my Senators about. Guam and peace negotiations for Ukraine.
If America leaves Guam, China will take over the island. Guam is a tiny rock in a strategic place. The economy depends on US personal spending $ and kickbacks from the US. Half locals work in local government with the other half in hospitality. All jobs tie into supporting one of these. If US government leaves Guam, the economy collapse(you cannot have half the island workers supporting half the island being in government) and will be taken over by another power. As for colonialism: that was Spain.
They existed for thousands of years without the US. As for shifting blame onto Spain for Colonialism is next level deflecting.
China is not in the colonizing business, it is more interested in trade. Guam would most likely become a major tourist destination for the ever increasing Chinese overseas travelers. In 2019 more than 140 million Chinese took overseas vacations (and went home)
The US absolutely takes advantage of the local population (housing costs are driven by military housing allowances, for example), but anyone who thinks the vacuum of a US withdrawal wouldn't almost immediately be filled by another nation is delusional. We celebrate Liberation Day for a reason.
@@jenthor2921 By all means celebrate Liberation Day but that debt does not mean eternal domination. Better neutrality and co-operation with all.
Would you rather China?
Exactly.
i hear you loud and clear! same problem everywhere! keep strong, your people need you!
One of the best ways to prevent war is to have neutral buffer states that separate great powers. Nations like Guam and Ryukyu (Okinawa) historically had that important role -- a role that has been denied to them by American imperialism.
Which has created a American Empire that justifies everything through this believe
Who would be in charge of Guam if not the USA? Guam doesn't have the capabilities to be sovereign. If it's not the US would Guam prefer China or Russia? Im not disparaging Guam ancestry. Just look at the chinese Uyghur. I live on mainland and don't have a choice of my overlords. Who does Guam want their overlords to be? No one is not an option. Whether you want it or not. It sucks, I know. There is no poetry in China, or Russia.
Are you saying the people of Guam have no right to self determination? I doubt you live in mainland China or you would know how the Uyghur situation has been weaponized by The US. You would know that the people of Xinjiang , not only the Uyghurs are reaping the benefits of economic progress following the elimination of the few thousand radicalized Wahhabi terrorists who fought alongside ISIS in Syria and Afghanistan.
@@ralphzoombeenie2330 Absolutely NOT!!! I advocate self determination. What I am saying is if the US, which has one of the best self determination models on earth is allowing them to be heard, this would not be afforded in China or Russia. Which is why I cited the Uyghur. Guam would be reeducated like the dissidents in CHina and Russia. And if the US leaves, you won't really have a choice. They're not going to listen to the Native population. They will inturn or exterminate the people of Guam. Weather we discuss it or not. Same goes for Hawaii
I live on Guam and do not support the 5,000 Marines coming here. However, I do support the US Milirary. M Bordallo, former Guam congresswoman pushed for this move. Hank Johnson tried to stop it because the island might TIP over.
I have no problem with this. Be worried about China more.
'Tension rises" Gee, I wonder how that happens? MIC ?
Is that base listing to port do we have the Ballesteros in Punto.
So, in the event of any nuclear war, innocent bystanders, the Chamorro people of Guam will be among the first to disappear forever in a fireball.
Yes, definitely faster than how and when the indigenous Red Indian tribes of the Americas were decimated.
It saddens me that Julian lacks a broader understanding of Guam's place in the world, geopolitically speaking. Mostly because the roots of his message are universally applicable.
@EMAN67:RP forum not really. Myopia, regardless of clarity, is still a limited perspective. But it's difficult to be both passionate and unbiased in regards to one's place in geopolitics.
He's eloquent and intelligent but doesn't speak with a perspective broad enough to come to workable solutions. He wants them out, you say. Ok, but that's quite naive.
Don't feel too bad Guam. You could ask me about Ontario in Canada and you won't feel so alone.
How’re things over there?
@@healingsallaround We subsidize Americans through hydro and oil sales. They own too much business and shut Canadian businesses down so Americans take over. Ontario is the only province in Canada where the internet is both owned and secured by Americans, and our capitol city, Ottawa, is in Ontario. Financial anything online is just going to rip you off, a little at a time. Other provinces have restrictions for Ontario financial institutions. Just yesterday employees at Zehrs, a huge supermarket, were saying they don't want to become cashless.
Why US should leave Guam native peoples live there for thousands years they don't want US presence there.
DN, COMMENDABLE! WHAT A meaningful exposure of the voice of the natives of Guam. Not unlike Puerto Rico, just territories for military insulations.
I wonder how Americans decide who should be free and independent🤔
Taiwan? of course!!! Donetsk? No Quebec? No. Scotland? No. Western Sahara? No. Tibet????? Of course!!! Puerto Rico? No. Guam? No. Kosovo? Of course!!!
USA "we need military bases in every country so we can control and conquer every country"
More power to you!. There is NO greater human rights abuser than the West!
China is the greatest in human rights violations, not the west
@@freedomovertyranny1512 If you are stupid enough to believe in fake news.
So true. And more the lecturing others worse the human rights abuses.
So sad the results of greed and power. 😟😢
Let the South Pacific Islanders learn from this! Very important!
Move US marine currently Okinawa, Japan’s southern island to California where a lot of people are moving out. Then US will understand what a war means.
"S T O P these endless wars" !
You left out that the government of Guam, allows it, encourages military enlistment and like all countries in the world at one point in history...basically has sold out its people. They were colonized by the Spaniards, held hostage by Japan and “saved “ by America. It’s an amazing jewel of the pacific, but tell the whole truth.
What he said is all true but sadly, without the help of the US, Guam would have had some serious hard time in many different ways :( I hope we can all figure this relationship in a way that benefits everybody.
The dude has to think differently, the world is different now that Russia invaded Ukraine and China is threatening Taiwan. Every place on Earth was taken over, his ethnicity: Asian in the form of the Mongolian empire almost killed off all Europeans. It's not the time for claiming who was the more victim during history, now is the time to think "I'm on a strategic military location, one of the most important in the world, should I leave because it's a dumb place to live?" humans are crazy, China took out millions of their own people Russia took out enough people to become the largest country on Earth. Guam isn't alone in colonization, you're not the only dudes, the Japanese people got rid of almost all of the indigenous people of Japan, the Ainu; basically to the Ainu the Japanese are the same people as the Americans in terms of colonizers into native land, the Taiwanese indigenous people were colonized by China (China took out many ethnicities within it's own land control), their culture almost entirely wiped out. Off all the islands of Asia there were a black people and Asians got rid of almost all of them, the only place where they live now is Papua New Guinea, Philippines in small numbers and they're mistreated badly, even Guam could have killed off these Black people, don't talk about "colonization" without the genocieds made by Asians to a black people. It's no time to talk about colonization, it's time to know that you live at a place where people shouldn't live as this is where militaries of the world will fight for. During these times I think you need to leave Guam if you want to live. You're talking about losing a forest, that island will probably be wiped off the map! Did you see what Russia is doing to Ukraine? They don't care about death. Japan attacked Guam, the US saved Guam from them, the Japanese had a program to breed with the Ainu forcefully to wipe them out of existence, did the US do this to you? Do you know who these guys are who are training on Guam? If you leave Guam for the US, Japan or South Korea they will be fighting for YOU!
Thank you.
The name Chamorro comes from Guam but my family comes from Nicaragua, I wonder what happened??
Most of the Spanish Historians that wrote about the island expounded on calling us Chamorro, remember the authors write history ! Lol
The Chamoru are a people derived from Austronesian descent. Austronesians went throughout the West and South Pacific.
Guam is a United States Territory. It will become a State in near future, if Guamese vote to do so. People of Guam are US Citizens.
No they are not. They want independence from the evil US empire and finally when the evil empire is collapsing for the good, the people of Guam, Puerto Rico, Micronesia, Hawaii, Alaska, Texas, California etc all will be free and independent.
Guamese? 🤣🤣🤣
@@thecomment9489 Well they certainly vote as if they are. In fact they are US Citizens, except they don't federal taxes. Guam, like Puerto Rico, elects their own governors, and have their own legislatures. But becouse they are not yet States, Guamese or Puerto Ricans , do not pay Federal income tax. They still have to pay their local taxes. Federal money from Congress is for roads, airports, schools. Just about every Guamese male enlists in US Armed Forces. Spread between Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, and Coast Guard.. They see it as right of passage and duty. G*d bless them.
So every four years they vote to '
1. Remain a Territory Of US
2. Petition US Congress for Statehood
3. Petition US Government for formal Independence.
Every four years Guam resoundingly votes to remain a territory of US. They get benefits of US, the Federal money, tourism, and lots of Defense dollars, and no liabilities as they are free of Federal income tax burden. US Military and hotels are #1 and #2 employers in Marianna Islands. Guam, Saipan, Tinian. US got them initially due to US victory over Spanish Empire in Spanish-American War of 1898. US also got Philippines, which was granted independence in 1930's. Japanese occupied Marianas during WWII, and the fight to get those islands from Japanese was brutal and bloody. Especially Saipan, which was Japanese before WWII.
So the US supports Taiwan independence from China, yet they have refused Guam independence! Hypocrisy beyond belief! All fair minded, thinking Americans should be ashamed by their govts behaviour and actions.
Very well said 👍
So Guam is in a hostage situation also, just like how the USA and its European allies does in Africa
If you didn't know it, WAR is inevitable and if we didn't have WAR, we wouldn't have the freedoms that we so much enjoy today. Yes, I must agree that war is sad and there are many opinions about WAR that we can all agree on, but the bottom line to me is, we have to do what we have to do. Julian, I commend you on your work and determination.
US talks about lack of democracy and human rights in its adversaries, but when Guam is concerned it has no democracy and no human rights. US is treating the indigenous people with disdain, in the same way it treated the native Americans 250 years ago. Then the native Americans described " white man speak with forked tongue". Today this is still the case.
@Julian Aguon, the missile is not called Guam Killer, but "Guam Express Delivery" instead, according to Taiwan's journalists.
The US needs to expand and strengthen it military facilities on Guam. The are needed for the forthcoming US - China war. It is commendable of you to be worried about the possible extinction of the Eight Spot Butterfly. You must urgently write another book "No Planet for Human Civilization".
When will the US respect the rights of other people. Spreading freedom and democracy is a myth. As Julian mentioned much of the US military build up in Guam is a result of the people of Okinawa's pressure to rid their islands of US occupation.
The Okinawans have only been partially successful despite an overwhelming vote to entirely remove the US military presence which has occupied up to 25% of Okinawa and created vast areas of environmental damage and social unrest since WW2.
The destruction and radiation health problems and pollution resulting from 67 nuclear tests on the Marshall Islands is a hidden human rights and environmental crime.
In the Indian Ocean the US with co-operation with the UK forcibly removed and banished the Chagos Islanders then effectively annexed their islands for the military base of Diego Garcia.
Despite the UN finding in favor of the Islanders they are threatened with 10+yrs jail if returning to their homelands.
The bases mentioned plus scores of others have but one purpose, to threaten China.
The US has become a very sick Empire with seemingly a death wish.
I’m sure China will respect and preserved all Guam’s indigenous species and their natural habitats just as they preserved the sea life and natural reefs where their manufacture island military bases now stand.
Wow, the poem (at around min. 9). ripes your heart out. Yes, climate change is now.
My hand full of bees, what's left of the 100s that once visited my flower garden, completely agree with you, sir.
Where is Guam ? What is its population ? its language ? its religion ?
American Citizens of the U.S. Territories unprivileged to vote for POTUS. Why is it when a refugee of a war torn country applies for, or is granted political asylum, establish residency in CONUS, becomes a U.S. / American citizen they are privileged to cast their vote.? With the U.S. Territories combined we rank 2nd to the state of Texas in Veterans / DAV per capita . With all this military build up, tension & threat w/ China - N.Korea what protocol or playbook does the civilian population react too in an event of an invasion?? If the Government has a protocol for Typhoon, Earthquake & Tsunami where does "what do we do in case of an invasion of a foreign country" or do we repeat Dec 7 1941.???
Beware of US militarism. Being a protectorate or US colony-like state or territory will jeopardize the security of inhabitants. US does care the danger that looms in these places as long as it achieves its own interests (hegemony and dominance). It is better to lose the so-called protection from US than to live in a war torn place in tie future. Are the people under US governed area really better off today than before in terms of human rights and standards of living? I truly doubt as majority of US mainland citizens are having hardship with basic necessities to live.
Freedom for Guam!!! Guam deserves independence!!!
Put some bass in your voice man 😧
The world has forgotten about Guam and diago gracial islands.
It would be nice if 1.13M subs would turn into book sales to help keep up the good fight!
Remember Vox and US historians at Ivy League Universities says US was against colonialism after world war II.
Ask the Ukrainian government for money and weapons to free yourselves !!
It’s crazy !!!
Set of values that helps us improve
Hence the name,, US of Evil 👿
Think if we were not there most of the people there would not have good jobs and a better life. Think if Japan would of won ww2 they could be in a worse place.
If America wasn’t in Guam, do think China wouldn’t be there and how much could you talk about being administered by China.
China will at least develop their economy and build the infrastructure for that. The US government does not want this but rather wants Guam to be poor and continuously be reliant on the US for aid.
@@thetreekeeper143 and at what cost. And when have China been remembered as being so benevolent. 🤔🇮🇹
@@waltergoodwin7463 ask yourself that question about any western power. Ask yourself are people that choose to do business with the Chinese stupid? If, so you're saying 99.9% of countries around the world are stupid people.
@Walter Goodwin. As an American or westerner, you do no learn or are not reminded by your media of the following facts.
First, China does not colonize ("administer", you say) other people, while the US colonizes people half a globe away.
Second, China has lifted 800 million people out of abject poverty, and has actually abolished poverty, while the US has half a million to a million homeless people living in the streets.
Third, before the Covid19 pandemic broke, 150 million Chinese left China to see the world as tourists (more than American tourists by tens of millions). And they all returned home!
Don't assume people would rather be colonized by the US than having an equal relationship with China.
Just like they’re doing in Africa😏
On Guam there are 153,000 residents and 23,000 of them are armed forces personnel. There are three bases there. A pull out from Guam would guarantee poverty for that location.
Western colonizers need to leave.
No it won't !!! They said similar about Vietnam now look how prosperous they have become.
China will help Guam develop an economy. Something the US government is reluctant to do because they like to keep their colonies underdeveloped and reliant on the US.
153.000 people live under the US the military control... that's worst than poverty.
@@thetreekeeper143 You're joking. 100k people on a remote island in the pacific will be nothing more than China's pawn to do the exact same as the US. Military outpost. Its esp tantalizing for the CCP because its beyond the 1st island chain.
on the brink of world war 3 and this guy is worried about butterflies
Why should Guam be caught up in the insecure West’s race war against China? Declining US empire needs to accept its place in the world.
He should have been worried about the lack of BIRDS. The Brown Tree Snake has decimated all bird existence on Guam. Their Electrical power grid is snarled with issues from these snakes. And the Grid is Post WW2 infrastructure. Hasn't improved much since than. Brown outs are very common. BTW if it weren't for the US, Guam would still be Japanese held. How quick they forget.
@@lawrenceleverton7426 From one evil empire to another... what's your point?
Two wrongs doesn't make one right!
You lack the euphemistic sophistry that if/when it happens it'll be to the extent of the extinction of (even) their native butterfly species, which signifies the erasure of literally all life 🧬 in, on and over the island nation. Guam is being prepared by its US administrators to be sacrificed to the extent of its entirety, once for all. Can't you see the tears welling up in Julian's eyes?
Lmao the only reason we're even anywhere close to having world war 3 is because of US military aggression. The US starting and provoking conflicts around the world. The US military is also the biggest contributor to climate change which will soon be displacing hundreds of millions if not billions from their homes and countries.
The US military is the biggest threat if not one of the biggest threats to world peace and doing anything to stall, stop, or thwart their plans is a good thing.
Nobel peace price right there.
Can all in left-YT please start educating people about both: (1) the difference between right-authoritarian vs. right-libertarian; & (2) the difference between left-authoritarian vs left-libertarian? It’s long overdue. People aren’t cattle or sheep: They will understand if we educate them.

@@Western_Decline Sure. Sounds like an interesting cause
@@user-wl2xl5hm7k The West is declining. Must be tough for Huaite nations.
Sure. Go ahead. I’m listening.
But to be honest I’m more worried about the “republicans” differentiating between conservative democratic values and right wing fascism. We can debate nuance after we can all agree to continue to be a democracy.
It's the same situation for Okinawa and even for South Korea. They allow some parts of their lands for U.S. military to use. Facing the aggression of China and North Korea, that's a wise decision for them. Yes, there are environtal problems and other issues, but the protection of the people comes first. You always have to weigh pros and cons. Guam cannot defend itself against China. The moment China sees the U.S. defense weakened, it will invade the island.
They'll be begging for Guam militarization once Chinese ships start circling and missiles start flying. The butterflies can not defend themselves... Hypothetically speaking if the US were to leave Guam it'd be ripe for the picking by the CCP. And Guam can not survive in isolation in the middle of the pacific.
Let them decide. Western colonizers need to leave and take their democracy bombs with them.
Such a foolish comment !!! They were fine before the US militarized the island , and maybe with US gone other countries might do new trade deals with them including China
They will survive if they become independent and have their own sovereignty and security and have bilateral relationship with china and others in the region. USA haven't militarised Guam to protect the guam people, its for their own interest lol
@@RudeBoi2971 yeah. China would have their own interests as well. Not even the Chinese people have freedoms.
@@RudeBoi2971 Guam has no economy, no industry, no military without the US. Cant even sustain their own food or fuel in the middle of the pacific without frequent shipments.

Nothing much new for the US warmonger...
Who are the original inhabitants of Guam?
The Chamoru people my Ancestors derived from the Autronesian people. That's as far back as I know more then 4000 yrs ago I believe.
I saw your view on the "militarisation" on Guam.
First of all, one can see that Guam have allways beeined militariased.
But the US eskallaition on militarisation, all over the world, at the same time that theire underlaying production economy is broken, and theire both underlaying economy and gigantosaurisation of theire loansituation and theire before the pandemic, "day to day", needed solving on how to get "founds" to pay for intressed rates and mortgage on the same, now have reach a totally diferent face.
For long, the state of US A have "created" ever increasing loans, for and on its citizens by this FIAT money creation.
Creation, at pace that made it impossible to even print these as bills!
Now have made the state and the FED have to deal with situations occuring seconds for seconds.
And the handling and priotarisation of the payments not longer are handled by persons but by so called automats, i e a computer with programs running "themselves", and were the earlier placed "parameters",
where made by persons, now are made by an other software!!!
This have been forced to be done, why the loan burden for the american people and state, are so enourmus.
And are also "reshaped" in a pace so fast that no one can imagine.
What with militarisation of Guam?
And all the mil fasc all around the world that the US are "locked" to?
They cant afford them!
Thats why they are in the present "last dance at the pram" mental state.
And are provoking and starting wars all over the place.
Economically, the US today, the 16 of october, are in an even more economicaly hopeless place, than Nazi Germany where in 1938!
They had, by putting all money on one card, to expand thru war, and in that way get hold of "new" rawmaterial, markets, resourses as gold and oil.
But also FOOD, and labour force at low economic cost.
They went all in.
And for about ten years, they were supported by lenders from all over the world, mainly from the US and GB, among those lenders that not were domestically "placed".
But with the U S of today, and in fact also the UK.
Both have become theite own images prisoners.
But now have come the time to pay the debts.
And they can't.
They just can't!!
So to keep it running for just some days, based on the saying, "tomorrow is another day,", they hope gor a miracle.
And, and my friend, as the Nazis of
1937,
to prepare for what they see as inevitable, the war.
And not one of the houndreds sinom houndreds they have placed on small and weak nations since the WWII.
No, now they" prepare "for the big one.
Thats why they try to weaken the other four, China Russia EU and India.
Non of these cant be allowed to persist, according to the current american stately doctrine.
So what to do.
First, the US most be made to pay for theire own debts by theire own production and work.
And this will be the toughest negotiaion point to get them to grasp.
Cause theire leadership and the present narrative formers of the US have since long, come to be those that have a "thieves mentality", "traders", husslers, scamers, bulliers, and generaly, a strata of oportunistic, in the bad meaning, power dependent roolers of the american people.
And this is a shame for the american society.
One of the most hardworking and innovativ PEOPLES in the world they were.
And now,
a society crushed and impoverishe to a degree that are unthinkable for one that have experienced its peoples glories time.
It is really, from my heart, sad to see all this.
And with the current power groups fatal waving of theire arms and provoking, I don't see much hope.
So instead of plundering the own people and others,
WORK!
Instead of stealing,
WORK!
Instead of creating wars and unrest,
PEACE!
instead of bullying, "give thy nabors a helping hand in THEIRE dispare",
And you will have the chance to get support.
Stop your murdering of other views and persons,
and you eventually will get back theire respect.
Stop creating loans never meant to be repaid,
Start paying of the since many years "created loans", to both the peoples of US as to the world.
So start
WORKING.
Stop making war.
Build instead of destruction.
You have grasped it?
Good.
We honor our vet's for protecting us from say issues like poverty and jet fuel in the drinking water. " Oh wait" You say they exasperated these problems only to empower the wealthiest scumbags. "Oh" I say to thee. You are very correct.

God Bless America 🇺🇸 😂.
