go to original November 30, 2015

The United States is the most powerful country in the world, but also the most dangerous one and its citizens face higher risks of violent actions committed by white fanatics than by Muslims, an article in the Mexican newspaper La Jornada said.

According to the article signed by David Brooks, newspaper correspondent in Washington D.C., for now, the only ones who violate the Constitution, the civil liberties and the fundamental rights so highly praised in every speech and every patriotic event are American politicians.

Brooks drew attention to the shooting that took place last Friday in a Planned Parenthood clinic in Colorado, where three people died and nine more were injured after a gunman attacked a facility.

Here everything is a danger, everyone is a suspect. Although politicians and media often repeat that threats come from outside the country, especially from Islamist terrorists, Latin American drug-traffickers end non-white immigrants, the greater danger comes from the inside and is very American, he added.

As noted by extremely important intellectuals from Noam Chomsky, Gore Vidal, Nobel Prize Joseph Stiglitz to former president James Carter, it not only vanished what was called the republic, but also this country and its policies are increasingly resembling an oligarchy, Brooks said.

According to official statistics, 406,486 people were killed with a gun in the United States from 2001 to 2013. During that same period, 350 Americans were killed in acts of terrorism in other countries, The Department of State said.
