US government pursuing ‘imperialistic wars’

The American people are coming to recognizing that the US government is pursuing “imperialistic wars” as well as policies that are strongly aligned with Israel and international banking cartels, a former US Senate candidate says.

“People are beginning to understand that they have lost control of their government, a government that is printing fiat money, a government with a Federal Reserve board of the United States [that] is tied up with international banking cartels and cabals,” said Mark Dankof, who is also a broadcaster and pastor in San Antonio, Texas.

“The people of the United States are beginning to wake to the fact that multinational corporate interests have bought their government and are pursuing policies, including imperialistic wars in the Middle East, that have nothing to do with the people in those countries, their true interests,” Dankof said on Tuesday in a phone interview with Press TV.

Dankof said there is a growing secession movement in the US in order to “recover its economic and its constitutional liberties again and to get out of foreign wars and foreign conflicts that have nothing to do with the interest of the average American.”

Former American presidential candidate Ron Paul has said that secession in the US is already underway and states will eventually break away from the Union.

He made the remarks during a speech at a pro-secession conference, titled “Breaking Away: The Case for Secession”, late last month.  The video of Paul’s speech surfaced on Friday.

“I would like to start off by talking about the subject and the subject is secession and, uh, nullification, the breaking up of government, and the good news is it’s going to happen. It’s happening,” the former Texas congressman told a gathering at the libertarian Mises Institute on January 24.

Amid the growing anger with the political stalemate in Washington, polls show that nearly a quarter of Americans want their states to break away from the United States and become an independent country.

The results of a Reuters/Ipsos poll released in September last year show that 24 percent of Americans strongly support or tend to support the idea of their state separating from the union.

Experts say last year’s Scottish vote for independence along with the falling public approval of the White House is increasing interest in breaking away among the American public.
