Why America Is No Longer THE Role Model – Op Ed

This is nothing new ..

As of this morning, It is difficult to identify who the Global role model really is. Global opinions about the USA are collected by Pew  Research Center, and we should not be surprised to find out.  As hard as Bush and his religious base tried to make the USA a theocracy, at the exclusion of a great percentage of the population,  they failed.  Bush tried and failed to show the world a morally superior nation, instead, he showed the world what hypocritical horse’s asses we really are. America is demonstrating the symptoms of marketing influence and profiteering infection.  Since the 1950s the US took a huge plunge into an abyss of greed, taking the common citizen with it. In the past this greedy condition was expected of the lords of industry.  But, now Americans are hopelessly infected by the same greed, thanks to marketing, profiteering , ‘grab it all’ mentality.  This mentality has roots in American’s history of turn of the century business magnates, sometimes referred to as a moguls, tycoons, barons, or industrialists.  Robber baron is a term that revived in the 19th century in the United States as a reference to businessmen and bankers who dominated their respective industries and amassed huge personal fortunes, typically as a direct result of pursuing various anti-competitive or unfair bp-carrot-stickbusiness practices.

Americans have become scavengers.  Grab it when you see it.  The carrot dangling in front of the mule was WalMart marketing for profit showed its customers.  All customers stampede2saw was the carrot, the conditioned programming of the American public responded like hungry animals.  Trample any obstacles in your way.  There is a pattern here, why Americans stand in line for hours or days to get a ticket to an event, be first through the door for a sale or buy scalped tickets.  American behavior has been programmed by mind controllers calling themselves advertisers and marketing agencies.  These agencies are mind controllers hired by corporations to hypnotize consumers and cause mob thinking to buy.  Programed customers MUST HAVE their product, at any price.

The consequences of this programming becomes the face of America to the world.  The American sees themselves as moral role models full of Christian love and generosity,  but, like Pavlov’s Dog when the trigger is pulled, starts to salivate.

Ivan Petrovich Pavlov won a Nobel prize for his work studying the laws on the formation of conditioned reflexes, a topic on which he worked until his death in 1936. His discoveries in this field paved the way for an objective science of behavior.

Pavlov became interested in studying reflexes when he saw that the dogs drooled without the proper stimulus. Although no food was in sight, their saliva still dribbled. Pavlov’s discovery was that environmental events that previously had no relation to a given reflex (such as a bell sound) could, through experience, trigger a reflex (salivation). This kind of learnt response is called conditioned reflex, and the process whereby dogs or humans learn to connect a stimulus to a reflex is called conditioning.

Classical Conditioning (also Pavlovian or Respondent Conditioning) is a form of associative learning that was first demonstrated by Ivan Pavlov[1] . The typical procedure for inducing classical conditioning involves presentations of a neutral stimulus along with a stimulus of some significance. The neutral stimulus could be any event that does not result in an overt behavioral response from the organism under investigation. Pavlov referred to this as a Conditioned Stimulus (CS). Conversely, presentation of the significant stimulus necessarily evokes an innate, often reflexive, response.

Most Americans haven’t a clue they are nothing more than programmed experiments. Inundated every day by ‘Mind Controlling’ stimulus called ‘commercials’ Americans are just experimental subjects.

The world sees this and no longer tolerates the consequences.  The American experiment has failed the world, as demonstrated by recent history..
