anonymous_masked_people_at_white_houseReally? This journalist actually uses this title? Could we be indeed be living in a place that's not a "country", but a collection of "corporations"? And the government of THE USA is actually a corporation? Heavens!! (all of that is to be read with a high degree of sarcasm.)

Here's evidence of that. Act of 1871 article 1, Act of 1871 article 2.

"The US is in a bad place right now, the US has been basically taken over by corporations, it's a problem, it's a big problem," said Rob Kall, executive editor of OpEdNews.com.

"Right now the US has a president who should be treated as a criminal and probably will be in the future," Kall told Press TV on Thursday. "We need bottom-up, grassroots uprisings."

Kall said America's use of drone strikes to assassinate people overseas "is just adding to what's becoming a long, long list of examples of how the US is setting bad examples for other nations."

The United States is a country that has been "taken over by corporations" and headed by a "criminal" president, a journalist in Philadelphia says.

"The US is in a bad place right now, the US has been basically taken over by corporations, it's a problem, it's a big problem," said Rob Kall, executive editor of OpEdNews.com.

"Right now the US has a president who should be treated as a criminal and probably will be in the future," Kall told Press TV on Thursday. "We need bottom-up, grassroots uprisings."

Kall said America's use of drone strikes to assassinate people overseas "is just adding to what's becoming a long, long list of examples of how the US is setting bad examples for other nations."

He cited a recent study by a bipartisan panel of former US intelligence and defense officials that has concluded US drone strikes abroad constitute a "slippery slope" toward a state of never-ending war.

The year-long study, released by the Stimson Center on Thursday, also points to the fact that the Obama administration has yet to conduct any "strategic analysis" on the cost-benefit of continued drone strikes in places such as Yemen and Pakistan.

Deadly US drones attacks are also becoming "a potent recruiting tool for terrorist organizations" as a result of civilian casualties, the report said.

The New America Foundation estimates that between 3,000 and 4,000 people have been killed by US drone strikes in Pakistan and Yemen in recent years.

Washington claims that its airstrikes target militants, but local sources say civilians have been the main victims of the attacks. The UN has called the US drone attacks targeted killings that flout international law.
