312 THE TRIUMPH OF EVIL
dictatorial con�rol of a �ount_ry � gain (such as via the unconstitutional shutting down of
�n elected �arh�ment),Just hke m 1994 in Russia, which appears similar to the situation
m the Ukrame m early 2000 (Wayland, 2000b).
I�- For in�tance, since �he USA's Cold War victory, workers have seen only a 1.9%
real t�come mcre�se desptte a 12% increase in productivity, and the poorest 10% of the
�mencan populatton have seen their incomes drop by 15% in the last decade, while the
nchest 1% of Americans have increased their incomes to 40 times that of the bottom
400/o _ of Arne�icans (T�epen, 1999). Meanwhile, the average number of hours spent
workmg on a JOb has nsen to a higher level in the USA than in any other industrialized
country (Associated Press, 1999a).
I _ 3. nee Americans are made aware of the facts and elect a government that reflects
th�tr �·II to end the atrocities, the guilty USA leaders could be tried by an International
Cnmmal Court that those same leaders currently refuse to allow the UN to establish
(Associated Press, 2000c). The criminal USA leaders currently pennit the UN to only
create special tribunals (such as in the case of the Bosnian civil war in Yugoslavia),
after worldwide anger is aroused against USA enemies (such as Serbia in the case of
the Bosnian war) by the fabrication of evidence (such as the portrayal of a Bosnian
r�fugee �amp as a fascist prison concentration camp by showing only pictures of the
tmy portton of the camp flanked with barbed wire, when there was actually free entry
and exit to the camp) that is then widely and repeatedly publicized long after it has been
documented to be fraudulent (lAC, 1998a). Such deliberate imposition of one-sided and
even fraudulent "j ustice" implies that the USA political leaders are aware of(and afraid
of prosecution for) their own crimes, and so USA politicians may not be able to use the
defense that they themselves have merely been brainwashed by the USA media to cany
out their crimes (unlike the American people who can, until they are aware ofthis book
or related documentation, legitimately assert that they were manipulated into electing
the criminal USA government leaders). However, it might be appropriate at some point
�o offer amnesty to all those American terrorist leaders who surrender power willingly
m order to maximize the chance of a speedy and peaceful revolution (although some
fo�n of reparations would have to be required from the mainstream political parties, the
mamstream media, and the mainstream leaders who have inflicted so much suffering on
t�e � orld- the aim of such reparations would be to not only partially compensate their
Vtctlms but also to reduce the power of those criminals who benefited so much from
perpetuating the atrocities).
. 14. It should also be mentioned that many Americans were not even allowed to vote
m the early decades of their country (Copeland, 2000). Although all American citizens
now a�l have the right to vote, the majority are not even aware of the crimes committed
by thetr country (Foerstel, 2000),just as the average American investor does not seem to
be aware of how their optimism about the future is manipulated by politicians to cause
the stock ?'ark�t to ri� su�stantially on average (by about 10%) in the 6 months prior to
each prestdenttal election m the USA (Murphy, 2000). As a result, the American people
as a whole sho _ uld not be held responsible for the USA's past crimes against humanity
unless and unttl they are made aware of the atrocities and of their moral obligation to
v � te out of power the criminal political parties and politicians who perpetuate those
cnmes.

. 15. Of th�e countrie _
s, the atrocities of only Germany, Japan, and Iraq were not
duectly motivated by pnor USA mass murder (although Nazi Gennany had used USA
extermination of Indians as an example, as previously cited in the Introduction of this
book). It should be mentioned, however, that the USA had no qualms about extensively
using fascist Japanese soldiers and Nazis after World War II to defend (or create) brutal
capitali�t dicta�ors _ hips in various countries (Blum, 1995). Despite the rivalry between
competmg capttahst po�ers that led to Wo�ld War II, the previously warring capitalist
powers (the USA, fasctst Japan, and Nazt Germany) had a common interest in the
rqmsion of Marxists, unionists, and others with left-wing opinions (Feinberg, 1 999).
They also seemed to have a untted
_
belief that capitalists represent an elite group which
knows best what to do with the world's wealth and is therefore entitled to it The fact
that the German stock market soared in value in the 1930s after Hitler's seizure of
pow� (Bi�lingmayer 1998) represents an illustration of the latter capitalist philoso
:
phy_ m actton. In particular, despite the Nazis' use of pro-worker slogans (such as by
calhng themselves the "National Socialist German Workers Party") as camouflaging
demagoguery to help dupe the German public into supporting them (Feinberg, 1 999),
and despite Hitler's proposals for world disarmament, peace, and non-aggression
that
he formally offered in the early 1930s at the same time that he was making plans for
� remilitarization and foreign subversion (Davidson, 1996), it was rich German
Clpttalist imperialists (albeit non-Jewish ones) who financed Hitler's election to power
and thrived under Nazi rule (Feinberg, 1 999). It should also be mentioned that the Nazis
�lso had substantial support from small business owners and the lower middle class
tn Gennany (Winkler, 1972), and even many foreigners (such as the French) joined
the N�s in the oppression of Jews and the looting of Jewish businesses and wealth
(�tated Press, 2000f). As documented by Copeland (2000), the rich have long and
�ly used the tactic of financing different anticommunist political parties (even ones
wtth some left-wing demagoguery like the Nazis in Germany and the Democrats in
�USA) in order to maintain their power and wealth. Financial aid for the more left­
Wing anticommunist parties is especially useful for appeasing the masses and taking
suppon away from the communists, while at the same time it also serves as a means
for the rich to hedge their bets, as political loyalty is thereby bought that ensures that
any le_ft:w�ng reforms to the capitalist system which damage the position of the wealthy
� _ mtntmtzed (Agee and Wolf, 1975). Left-wing anticommunist parties are also often
Ulthzed as a means of winning the support of the masses for imperialist wars, which the
llllsscs
must fight, but from which the rich profit so greatly (Copeland, 2000).
