The United States of Bananas !

American comedian Jeff Foxworthy has developed a very amusing routine which he has incorporated into his stage show, a routine which he calls “….you Might Be a Red Neck…”.

During his monologue, Foxworthy goes thru dozens of humorous imaginary scenarios, the details of which strongly indicate that you or someone you might know share certain characteristics or behavioral similarities that just might indicate that you… or someone you know…. just might be a “Red Neck.”

For instance, Jeff will deadpan the following lines and then wait to see if the audience recognizes themselves or someone they know by the following behaviors:

“If you’ve ever cut your grass and found a car, you might be a Red Neck;

If you’re dad walks to school with you because you’re in the same grade, your might be a Red Neck;

If you’ve ever been too drunk to fish, you might be a Red Neck;

If you’ve ever financed a tattoo, you might be a Red Neck;

If you’ve ever made change in the offering plate, you might be a Red Neck;

If you go to the family reunion to meet women, you might be a Red Neck;

If you see a sign that says “Say No to Crack” and it reminds you to pull your jeans up, you might be a Red Neck.”

Jeff’s comedic routine inspired me to apply similar criteria to the current regime pulling the levers of power in the American government as they run roughshod over our Constitution and our Bill of Rights. It’s a simple test to see how far we have fallen from the vision of our Founding Fathers and their desire to have a Constitutional Republic built upon equal and uniform justice under The Law; a Nation of Laws, not a nation of people or special interest groups. I call my hypothetical test: “You Might Live in a Banana Republic…”.

The Origins of the “Banana Republic” Label
As you may recall, a “Banana Republic” is a disparaging term which evolved from several U.S. corporations’ actions in Central and South America during the 1950’s. These American corporations covertly moved to take over the national governments of various countries in the Southern Hemisphere in order to gain more favorable, preferential treatment for their exports to the United States. Invariably, these U.S. Corporations, like United Fruit Company’s “Chiquita Bananas,” applied a layer of cosmetic veneer to such governments, which made them appear to be legitimate to the casual observer, whereas in reality the leaders installed by these corporations followed the corrupt corporate dictates of the American business people who placed them in power.

Covert Abuses of Power
While often exhibiting the window dressing of a constitution and laws protecting human rights and private property, in practice such governments reeked of corruption and the abuse of power based on whatever ruling oligarchy controlled the levers of power to serve the corporation that had ensconced them at the head of their government. Further, these American corporations often provided payments to finance paramilitary “death squads” in order to terrorize and eliminate any political opposition to their corporate agenda.

As you go down the following list of questions, see if the answers you arrive at seem to indicate a certain country you might know and love has actually devolved into a newly minted Banana Republic rather than remain a genuine Constitutional Republic operating through the rule of Equal Justice under Law.

May I welcome you, then, to The United States of Bananas, the epitome of the very worst elements of every “Banana Republic” which has ever existed, and which has now been placed on display in this Nation’s capitol. The head or “Big Banana”achieved his current placement thru rigged elections, the machinations of a corrupt media, along with a cowardly court system and judiciary, and all done in collusion with certain “tech titans” and oligopolists as outlined in the conspiracy recently featured in TIME Magazine.

Welcome to the new United States of Bananas
— where the privilege of citizenship has now been diluted to the point of mere residency by the act of crossing a no longer existent Southern border;
— where criminals and gang bangers and terrorists and COVID infected illegal aliens are openly welcomed and given vast financial rewards unavailable to actual American citizens;
— where the family members of these foreign invaders are encouraged to become residents to suck dry the teat of government social programs and thereby destroy the finances and credit of the government thru the implementation of the Cloward-Piven strategy of societal destruction.
— where disease infected foreign nationals from around the world are welcomed and actively distributed throughout the “homeland” to spread COVID and continue to fan the flames of a manufactured Planned-Demic— despite our leaders pushing mandatory injections of experimental serums and the continued ritual, useless, disease-incubating masquerade of dumb, obedient citizens
— where treasonous acts of cowardice and criminally negligent stupidity by our leaders result in the needless deaths of our armed forces while directly arming deadly terrorist enemies with billions of dollars of advanced weaponry is praised as “bravery” and applauded by the lap dog media!

This is the lunatic asylum over which the senile Joe Biden, true agent of the Chinese Communist Party along with Kamala Harris, now presides. The America that is now being groomed to become a mirror image of the police states of New Zealand and Australia as the puppeteers behind corrupt politicians destroy the very social, moral and economic fabric of this once great nation. The model of societal corruption, once instituted in Latin America by the United Fruit Company which used government bought and paid for government as a means to achieve overall social control, has now come full circle.

AMERICA
— Corrupted by a Democrat Party aligned with our Communist adversaries;
— corrupted by a huge majority of clueless RINO Republicans who have no idea that their country is being stolen out from under them;
— corrupted by a network of social media technocrats whose values are aligned with the promise of market penetration into the Chinese mainland;
— corrupted by a sycophantic lap dog media that is more concerned with flavors of ice cream rather than the impact of treasonous foreign policy decisions; and finally,
— corrupted by a military/industrial/intelligence complex that sees war as the ultimate money generator made possible by the slaughter of innocent Americans and foreign nationals in pointless wars and conflicts to enrich the coffers of the international banking elite, while enslaving American citizens thru ever increasing tax burdens to rob them of a dignified retirement or a semblance of the standard of living enjoyed by their parents.

Welcome to the newly minted Banana Republic of America.
While Liberty’s Statue may still remain in New York harbor; it’s Torch may soon be replace by a peeled banana…
