Happy 240th Independence Anniversary To The United States Of America. by lawani: 12:53pm On Jul 05, 2016
On this day in 1776, 240 years ago, a group of thirteen colonies in North America joined together to forcefully declare independence from the British empire. The British empire had prided itself on its motto 'No taxation without representation'. So, since the British crown represented by King George was imposing tax on the colonies and the colonies were not represented in parliament, the Colonists decided to break free and declare independence. They refused to pay a newly imposed tea tax on principle and, dressed as Red Indians, they offloaded the shiploads of tea into the sea. It marked the beginning of the struggle with Britain which culminated in independence for the 13 colonies on the 4th of July 1976 giving birth to the most important nation so far in known history. The USA. The USA uses the Presidential system where the President is like the British King but elected for a term and under the strict control of the Central Intelligence Agency. The US is the best organised and most prosperous nation in the Western hemisphere with the nation building philosophy that government hold on the economy or market should be minimal which put them in opposition to the other mega state East of the Atlantic which is the former USSR, a socialist state that believed that government hold on the economy should be total. It was a tug of war that degenerated into open hostilities at several hotspots across the globe. Both nations were well armed. Nowadays, the USSR has collapsed and the successor states are free market states but there are a few successors like Cuba and North Korea that continue still with the system.

No nation is freer than the USA. if you are not a criminal and you do not try to make profit under the table, you will be a free man in the USA. Everything about finances, profits, economy and etc is in the open in the USA for every US citizen and the USA has special agreements with banks all over the world covering anyone holding the US passport to take care of that. A US politician would not ever contemplate stealing money to stash offshore. That will not be possible in the USA. The USA is the most important nation in the world and in the Western hemisphere, Brazil is second to the US in significance and importance in the western hemisphere and Canada is at par by level of organisation/development. Brazil is a successor of the Portuguese empire just like the USA is a successor of the British empire. Both are economic superpowers in the Americas in their own right.

If all nations were ran seriously and ruthlessly with common sense like the US, the world would definitely have been a better place. India is as free but not as organised, so it is less prosperous. China is more rigid, less free and not as prosperous. Germany, Japan, britain, france and Europe in general are as free but not as powerful. Russia is as militarized, not as free, not as powerful and not as prosperous.


The US, since the end of the second world war has been picking the bill for the peace we enjoy in the world.

Above all, the US is picking the bill for the peace I enjoy in my own life! I take it personal!. If there were no US, where would I be today?I would have been eaten by Pastor Adeboye of the RCCG and forgotten by all. Many have gone. It is the strong ethics of the CIA that compelled President George W Bush to dig in with me, else I would have been meat for Pastor Adeboye and Bishop Oyedepo. So, the USA to me represent God.

God bless the USA! Many more years in prosperity and leadership!

No, It is simply when The Earth and The Sun align at the center of the Universe. The Sun is between the Earth and Abode of Allah "Sirius". On new year, The Earth would be between the Sun and Sirius; It is when the true fasting ends. Do you know what Sirius means?
