One of the most remarkable manifestations of a failed state is that the criminals are all inside the government operating against the people, whereas in a normal state, the criminals are on the outside of the government, operating against it. So, we now have every manifestation of being a failed state, with the government in the hands of a few Wall Street gangsters.” PeopleStatesHandsGovernmentUnitedUnited StatesStreetsWallNormalCriminalsManifestationRemarkableGangsters Author:Paul Craig Roberts
