Why America is Deteriorating?

The Systematic Stealing of Our Commons

I was born outside America; I came to America as a teenager because when I looked at the world, I found America stood out among the countries of the world at that time in the 70's and early 80's of my childhood. It was clear to me that the best place in the world to support me in living my highest divine path and life purpose in this life was America. So, I made every effort for 7 years and finally found a way to make my way to America. I was 18.

What struck me most over the first few years in America was the unique historical investment in the Commons over the early part of the building of America. It was clear to me that what made America strong and a great nation, perhaps the best place in the late 1800's and early 1900's, was the building of the Commons to a greater extent than other nations on Earth.

And it was equally clear also, that there was a systematic agenda underway by certain segments of politics, government, bankers and businesses who were in the process of stealing the valuable Commons, and preventing further investment in the Commons; specially since the 1980's.

And it was also clear to me, that that meant a less-than-stellar future for America, because as a person with the mind of a physicist and systems engineer; as someone who is quite acutely aware of cause and effect in all choices and actions by individuals, nations and planets, I have the ability to observe the present, calculate the inevitable corresponding effects of each choice, action and thought, and I can usually see the expected and probable outcomes 32 steps into the future. Some call it prophesy. I simply call it physics.

It is a simple matter of physics, mathematics and logic. It is an equation. A nation that invests and promotes and builds the right Commons, will reap the benefits of collective success, well being, national wealth, growth, pride, satisfaction, strong creativity, invention, economy, a culture and climate of hope and confidence; and a self fulfilling prophesy and cycle of prosperity for all its population.

A culture such as what I have seen in the last 25 years in America, where the Commons are being looted from the public domain, under false manufactured pretense by vested interests for private personal or corporate gain, invariable decline sets in. As we see now.

When I was growing up in India in the 70's, almost every bright child wanted to come to America. Now, 25 years later, the brightest children in India, or China or Philippines, are not that interested in America. They are more drawn to other nations on Earth with a brighter future. A majority of higher education, scientific, inventive and economic/entrepreneurial success creating impact.full ventures in America have been started and led by first generation foreigners for over a 100 years. When the brightest in the world are no longer attracted to America, America is in trouble. It's future is cloudy. Our future is cloudy.

It is NOT too late. To re-invest and en.vision and build a new strong appropriate Commons for the next 50 years...

America also, and still has creativity and ingenuity far greater than other nations and cultures. Once we make a decision and set our national will to it, we have the capacity to build and create at an unprecedented level, quickly.

It is time for the 99% who care about the collective well being, our collective future, to stand up and stop the stealing of our Commons. To take back the Commons. To re-en.vision a new strong Commons. To invest and build this new strong Commons.

And I guarantee, and physics and Newton and Einstein will guarantee a great future again for the next 50 years for our children. And our grandchildren will have to stay smart 50 years from now, and keep re-building the appropriate Commons to keep creating prosperity for their grandchildren.

The Commons:

Wikipedia says: The Commons is resources that are owned in common or shared between or among communities [and] populations. These resources are said to be "held in common" and can include everything from natural resources and common land to software. The commons contains public property and private property, over which people have certain traditional rights.

The Commons to Invest In:

• True world class, wholistic, appropriate Education needed for the next era. (And no, incremental band aids to the current outdated education system designed for the industrial revolution 200 years ago is NOT enough) A must see incredible video on education is here by Sir Ken Robinson
• Physical infrastructure needed for the next era (roads, buildings, cities, clean energy, transportation, environment technology, information technology, health technology etc.)
• Pure Science and Technology
• Intentional cultivation of 2-3 new industries that can be grown to become the big economic engines for the next 50 years... such as 100% clean energy grid, clean transportation, environmental technology. Just like aerospace, electronics, computers and internet industries were the economic engines for the last 50 years.
• Cultivation and Re-integration of strong family, community, spirituality, higher consciousness, ethics and morality; in non-religious secular and diverse ways. All is sourced from Spirit/Universe/Creator/Higher Power/God/Goddess. The quality of consciousness that is present in us, and within us in our spiritual life creates and IS the source of what we live and manifest in the outer/physical world. It is a cause and effect relationship. The stronger we are in Spirit, the better world we create. It is simple physics. Higher integrity we live in, the more blessings we create and recieve.

Any reason given by any group to avoid or prevent ongoing building and re-building of the Commons is irrelevant. The rightness or wrongness of the given "reasons" are irrelevant if the result is a lack of re-building of the Commons. All great leaders have shown and proven that excuses and reasons don't matter. Only the action or in-action does.

So, we can fight and argue over philosophies and "isms" and politics. Or we can initiate a new national Manhattan project, a new national WPS project or a new Apollo program to re-build our Commons and create the next 2-3 industries that will create invention, technology, 1000's of new companies, millions of new jobs and fix some planetary problems/needs, or NOT. The choice is ours America. America can lead the world again in morality, ethics, a spiritual win-win-win consciousness for the highest good of all; or pursue the good of a few with a guaranteed failure for all. A climate of adversity and lack of cooperation will always lose to a culture of aligned cooperative win-win-win for all.

It is simple physics.
