How The United States Creates “Sh*thole” Countries

disobedientmedia.com/2018/10/cynthi…
McKinney told us: "The old political schema no longer works, and these [contributors] are people from all kinds of ideological backgrounds... and yet they were all able to come together and establish as a fact, that #Peace has a broad constituency in the United States.
Given the ongoing debate as to the viability of working with those from opposite sides of the political spectrum, (caitlinjohnstone.com/2018/07/09/a-y…) McKinney’s book is especially timely in its encapsulation of cross-ideological collaboration. She explained:
McKinney told us: “Politics in the US is changing very profoundly, and people aren’t paying attention to it. If people aren’t paying attention, they will end up with an entirely different political system, that has strayed so far away from the Constitution that....
"... the US will no longer be Democratic and it will no longer be a Republic… The noose is being put around the neck of the Republic, and the Constitution won’t mean a thing. We won’t mean a thing. Citizenship won’t mean a thing.”
McKinney said: “US foreign policy is a pernicious influence. We can see just how the US has influence in #Ecuador. Ecuador used to be free, and now all of a sudden Ecuador is no longer free, and that has a direct bearing on the life of an activist whom we all cherish and adore."
