The Exclusive Percent Culture Abdo a Husseiny

The United States-along with most other developed nations-has a mutually self-destructive relationship with underdeveloped countries.



Developed countries, often under the guise of friendship, use developing nations as testing grounds for medical procedures, education agendas, and manipulative social experiments-practices that are adopted at home only after their usefulness is tested abroad.



On an even darker note, supposedly democratic nations prop up Third World dictators and tyrants to preserve their access to an involuntary population of guinea pigs. And sometimes America and other countries experiment on these unstable nations with new weapons and military technology-particularly in the arena of intercity fighting.



On the other side of this devil's bargain, US citizens are often unable to "buy American" and must sacrifice high-quality domestic products for short-term savings from imported goods. Rigorously tested changes to social dynamics reduce personal freedoms and privacy, slowly stripping away individual rights.



The root cause of such acts is that we have become a culture manipulated by the exclusive percent-individuals and groups who are chasing a quick and high return on investment. Members of the exclusive percent culture benefit in both developed and underdeveloped nations, while ordinary citizens of both pay the price.
