CNN: Is America In Denial About It's Decline?

[mikypi3151592]

Well, nothing lasts forever

[jbranstetter04]

As was the case at Valley Forge, we will only lose if we give up. At Valley Forge we had one man who never gave up, who never excepted defeat. Where is that man today? Can the Americans of today be that man? If you don't know who I'm referring to, then you are a victim of a government education, which by the way, is part of the reason for our decline.

Nero didn't fiddle while Rome burned. The fiddle hadn't been invented yet.

@justonemorename

Except they are pretend to be jewish.

[kimlea69]

yes

[jmjfanss]

@justonemorename

They are Kahzars and a disgrace to the real jewish tradition, real jews don't steal our taxpayer money.

[JUDALATION]

@1234dpeck You cannot be serious? The ENTIRE continent was nearly wiped out by disease in a few decades. There is mo way our population would be this low. You are beyond stupid.

[Excelion333]

All I know is we need a resource based economy or the human race will not survive much longer, we are burning through our finite resources as if they are infinite, soon there will be nothing left and the whole human race will die off.

[professormaxtrinity]

Waiting 4 a political/legal sytem that props up criminal banks TO DO SOMETHING is NOT an option anymore, there's no more time to WASTE We're declaring our HOMES sacred sovereign ground & ALL HOMES as Human Sanctuary. We're OCCUPYING HOMES and banning Home rents/mrtg WORLDWIDE PERMANENTLY. We're declaring our liberation and DIVORCING OURSELVES from the bank. 250BOYCOTT it's time. Also see the "Declaration of Sovereignty" on my wordpress blog at professormaxtrinity We can do this, we're MEANT to

[armyveteran101st]

That is pure nonsense. If our grandparents had felt that way about our country during and immediately after the Great Depression, we wouldn't have the country we have right now. When did Americans lose their nerve, to the point that a crisis is enough to push them into swearing off the future and putting the country down as if it were in its dying throes? Why did Americans collectively become pussies that break down when confronted with the slightest bit of adversity? We used to not be that way!

[NoPartyAffilliation]

Learn to grow your own food and raise livestock. Make sure you are well armed to protect yourself from looters. Be prepared for civil unrest. It will not get any better. This is our future and is best to prepare. Good luck to all of you.

There is people that is in denial of whats going but there people that does know the decline of the U.S. but won't do anything about it.

[JUDALATION]

@1234dpeck Firstly... I am not on welfare, and never was. Secondly, you complain about welfare when your government stole trillions from natives? And thirdly, please go back to europe!

[biggydx]

Yes

[dickstoyevsky]

Yes. Total floride induced denial

[PalmTrall]

Anyone out there want to make a long standing bet that any President that is elected besides Ron Paul will be a disaster and more of the same except worse with more wars and Police state tactics.. Anyone? I asked people the same thing when Obama was elected and people were all Hopey,Changey.. Guess what. They have nothing to brag about and now know they were wrong.. So again is anybody willing to step up and make a bet?

[restlesspride666]

Ron Paul is not the way :/ WTF HE'S THE SAME AS THEM.

[Be4Peace2]

They are now teaching Chinese in public schools. The first things they learn to say are " Americans are so stupid." and "Will work for rice."

[JUDALATION]

@1234dpeck No you Idiot! Im native American so Canada belonged to my ansestors before you conolial bastards came here! You must go back to Europe you bastard. Native Americans would be millionaires if it were not for you coorperate whores giving our oil to companies.

[shpj1109]

Why does Cafferty doesn't have his own show?

[Garlannd]

Yes and so are our Politicians aside from Ron Paul.

[487shawn]

Thanks wall st , clinton, bush, communist China WINS!!

[unitytorch]

We have to take control of our own lives and stop depending on centralized "rulers" to dictate our individual destinies. We have to grasp what it means to truly be free.

[MrYadakun]

The only truly indiginous products China manufactures are lead coated toys and other such crap. The Chinese economy that exports electronics and whatnot is foreign owned. I can't think of one actual technologically advanced good that is truly mainland Chinese. Do the Chinese even make a car?

[487shawn]

@MrYadakun they make electric and solar and biofeuled vehicles as well as massive windmills and solar collectors and are leading the world with engineers and top professionals in every field they massively out preform the rest of the world with their slave labour and are moving out of manufacturing and getting into high teck areas, the manufacturing they are sub letting to vietnam and others, they are soon to become the most massive world power, and we had better all toe the line, freedom gone!

[MrYadakun]

@487shawn I agree China has made big strides in green energy. After all, the air pollution is horrendous. I know - I lived in Beijing for two years. Still, I think the Chinese economy is pretty much a foreign economy. I have NEVER seen a high tech Chinese product available under the name of a truly Chinese manufacturer where I live now. Not that I am against this. Good for them if they succeed. I like Chinese people. And I hope they do succeed. I just haven't seen it yet.

[487shawn]

@MrYadakun i dont fault the Chinese for wanting to strive to become more sucessful, of course people around the world need to be lifted from proverty, but it don't agree with globalization wakamole as i feel this is what we have today, instead of lifting everybody out we have a massive race to the bottom, we have lowered the west living standard and they will fall further, china does make its own car just go to a car show their or google it, they also have invested in high teck far more today!

[487shawn]

@MrYadakun make sure you bow three time to show respect to your Chinese overlords, and learn mao's docturines, please thank daily the elite capitalist who sold you out, and make sure to be on your knee's for them as they are the new counts i call them counts as they like to count their money and most of all thank all the years of mental illness of the american people voting for republicans!

[MrYadakun]

@487shawn I agree. Republicans are total traitors to America. As are many Democrats, no doubt. The country no longer represents the people.

[jmjfanss]

@MrYadakun

They haven't represented the people since 1913.

[mackler]

This video is BullSh_t!! America in decline? Ha! The entire world knows that America is the greatest country in the history of humanity! We are the greatest, we are the freest, we invented everything, and our military can destroy all the rest of the world combined! You can travel anywhere in the world and spend US dollars--the only money backed by the full faith and credit of the US of A! All the America-haters who say this country is declining need to GTFO!

[zedsdeadz]

educate yourselves with the knowledge public education doesn't provide. triviumeducation . com

[kingzim]

1st World countries are saturated. And, I think its time America realizes that other countries have caught up and in some cases overtaken them in certain fields. America should work on its financial sector and its technology sector cause those are the only fields in which it is number one.

[jmjfanss]

@justonemorename

they are Kahzars

[ShadowSandy]

Peter is stupido. =P

[bachus3k]

@justonemorename thats why you are in decline ... fast ... and thats just as well .. the US totaly abused its power by raping the rest of the world, But i`m afraid China and Russia will be no bether.

[420gma]

Is america in decline? Hell yes ! If things don't change we will go the same way as the Roman Empire !

[MrDubDisciple]

@justonemorename Stupidity is stupidity.

[Stingerbillion]

Yes it is Jack, yes it is.

[im1greatman]

@justonemorename Well said.

[VideoExpostulations]

Hey Cafferty, if you had your own website polls not connected in anyway to CNN, I'd participate. But I will not give CNN any Web hits for their advertisers.

[GalaktikNinjA]

Yea because everyone sees through our government's bullshit hypocrisy.

[thundavolt]

America is in decline. Ron Paul can accelerate it's decline into nothingness and complete dumbassness.

[yes4me]

America is declining because of republican lies, Fox News lies, the decline of education in America, and due to propaganda from corporation influence on the TV.

For example, most Americans can't name GOP candidates.

[sarge958]

@yes4me You mean republican and democratic lies... it's both ways.

[Stingerbillion]

@yes4me That's because they don't want to name GOP candidates. All of them are morons. 

[Bkauffy]

HE SAID IT!! just accept what has, and is happening as FACT. it's time to move on....

[compendiumgravemind]

i can only guess what these people are about to say so ill go ahead and give the awnser to the headline!

*spoiler*

(YES!)

[Tunedup81]

Just raise comodities and milk china dry.. meh w/e afterall they have the largest population on this rock its only a matter of time before they grow so large they start eating eachother! Happy HALLOWEEN! jk. w/e FUCK it... i dont care anymore.. wheres my zoloft!

[saasaasaa010101]

I think Max Keiser said Congress members in Washington are making a killing on Wall Street because its legal for them to conduct insider trading.

[BackToTheBus]

The whole Age is in decline, I don't know if you've looked up lately but Aquarius is the bright lights in your face and Pisces is in the rear view mirror, next up, deep water and since melting ice is cold I suggest everyone wear a dry suit.

[RadarKat73080]

@BackToTheBus Did astrology have to adapt to Pluto's downgrade?

[BackToTheBus]

@RadarKat73080 No because Astrology doesn't give a rats ass about modern Astronomy's view of reality.

[RadarKat73080]

@BackToTheBus When they downgraded Pluto, I had this image of all the astrologers going: "Fuck!" and redoing their horoscope charts!

[BackToTheBus]

@RadarKat73080 Yea ! it's funny as hell that just because we Humans decide that a celestial body is unworthy of it's title that it must somehow be truth. I mean look out there (with a telescope of course) and see, it still exists no matter what we decide about it.

[RedTory59]

Not so much declining as fallen. And it can't get up.

[NotSoOldHippy]

Americans aren't in denial. Christian Republican shit holes are, sure, but Americans aren't.

[HeavyMetalPedal]

America is a complete FRAUD due to the 99% letting the 1% ruin the USA. This collapse has be planned since Federal Reserve Act in 1913. That is when Americans were sold out to the same people they had died to break free from. USA has 99 guns per citizen. There r 308,745,538 US citizens. If least than 1% of the 99% (2 to 3 million) well-armed patriots called for a single strike on the heads of the 1% snake the world will be a beautiful place instead of a cesspool of poison, suffering and greed.

[danmarino1970]

CNN: Is America In Denial About It's Decline? Yep.. Controlled chaos.

[iWASbeingModest]

believe me all nations will crash to a large degree,most never returning,well atleast for awhile.say a few hundred years plus or minus a few hundreds years.DARK ages II...its like "new" rome & alot of the ones today are claiming the same bloodlines as the ones of the old days,they are & always have been,THE oppressors.the facists.the evil ones.

[cfini72]

Yesterday it was reported that China is offering convertibility between gold and their own currency. 

[Connected2U2]

The U.S.A was always in decline, the lies behind the "we're #1" were just hidden better.

Most Americans are still under the impression that the country slipped and fell in shit, instead of the real truth of being up to it neck for decades.

[BioCapsule]

@justonemorename But that's how it starts... most dynasty & empires in history when into decline usually not because of foreign threat but started with internal corruption, they where rob by the greedy.

Empire rises & falls... it is a history lesson that people never seem to learn from because those involve in the decline always think they are the exception to the rules.

[atripa645]

America is Declining....... ON PURPOSE!

[return135]

The demographic decline is going to kill America! We need more White babies!

[dmvallaccess]

We have been in a controlled crash since October 2008.

[iWASbeingModest]

well china isnt doing so well either,truth be told,they just as fucked as everyone else,but they will not complain or say anything.all nations are in decline.

[bongojim420]

@iWASbeingModest Yeah that 74 story building they just built with a

47 MILLION dollar SOLID GOLD bull inside clearly shows how broke they are lol

[iWASbeingModest]

@bongojim420 oh excuse me.china has a golden statue.news alert.they had gold statues all over asia before & no one gave a fuck.

[brianestoll]

This is stupid.. everyone is in decline compared to China (economy wise)

[Dai827]

@justonemorename corruption is a sign of a decline empire... that's just my opinion!

[RadarKat73080]

The empire is over!

[dafttool]

@RadarKat73080 Afghanistan 3

Great Britain, USSR & America 0

[RadarKat73080]

@dafttool Don't forget the bitchslapping Alexander the Great got there too!

[dafttool]

@RadarKat73080 I almost put Macedonia in, but I believe India was the nail in that coffin. But if you think about it, yeah, Alexander's Empire should also be included because it was just a matter of a short number of years (just like with the other empires) when his empire also collapsed. So Afghanistan 4 & everybody else 0

[brianestoll]

@RadarKat73080 what empire?

[RadarKat73080]

@brianestoll The American one. The GOP's Death Star is behind the moon. They beam talking points to Fox News from there.

[brianestoll]

@RadarKat73080 only idiots believe fox news

[RadarKat73080]

@brianestoll Did I say otherwise? Just said that's where the RNC, to quote Bela Lugosi, "Pulls da strings!"

[brianestoll]

we're not all idiots.. just about half :D

[RadarKat73080]

@brianestoll I don't even think that many, if I thought that I'd need to change my shorts! FNC just uses slanted numbers! 1,000 quickly becomes 1,000,000. Remember Glenn Beck's rally in DC? The one he hyped as the Super Bowl meets the Second Coming? Republican Woodstock? The number kept going up!

[brianestoll]

@RadarKat73080 i dunno.. i know "things are bad" but not just for the US. It's just in the spotlight & people (including us) are chomping at the bit for our gov. to get a foot in the ass for its idiocy in so many categories. Still i think the nation has been in worse or = bad spots. I don't think yearning for a chinese superpower is so peachy either. Change in world power is inevitable but doesn't mean a nation disappears, he US will remain with vast resources and power just as Russia remains.

[RadarKat73080]

@brianestoll Didn't say that either. There's still a Great Britain, France, Spain, Greece. These were some of the biggest empires ever, now they're fun-sized!

[brianestoll]

@RadarKat73080 well china, another large nation with a fairly unified home culture "fell" just over a century ago.. the other "empires" you mention were relatively (to their empire) quite small.  The US doesn't have an empire to lose at least territorially so will be left with the same core resources it had to begin with.

[RadarKat73080]

@brianestoll Okay, we haven't conquered, annexed or stolen any territory lately; but you can't say this isn't an empire. Land's pretty meaningless anymore. Calling the shots on the world stage and having the biggest stick to swing (metaphor intended) is. I only named a few off the top of my head, there have been several more: Rome, Russia, Nazi Germany.

[487shawn]

@RadarKat73080 you haven't stolen annexed or conquered any territory lately what the fuck was Iraq?

[RadarKat73080]

@487shawn Ouch! Good point, my bad! Little close to my bedtime.

[487shawn]

@RadarKat73080 sorry to be so rough it just pisses me off!, we had the world when tax rates for the top 1% was 90% and they still live extremely well but the wealth was spread to the largest middle class in the world, america went to the moon now china goes, you are outpreformed in every area this was intentional to wrest power away from the american people to the elites, and anyone who can't see this is blind!

[RadarKat73080]

@487shawn Couldn't agree more. Well, I see by to ol' mother at my door, it's time for me to shut down. G'night.

[brianestoll]

@justonemorename true... i think america will have a renaissance eventually but not after a bad patch. We have huge potential as a nation but our leadership sucks... washington (and i dont mean george) needs an enema.. our government needs to confront its control issues, look to the future and think about the citizens

[seanlaca]

Uh...  ya. But they'll find out the hard way... the hard hard way. OWS is only a microcosm of what is coming, and not even they realize yet just what's coming.

[dafttool]

America needs to make something besides war. Without a product, without our ever-dwindling freedoms, we have nothing the rest of the world wants.

[JUDALATION]

Yes... America is a bad country to be poor in...especially if you are black or Native American. I just learned that American Black men have a lower life expectancy than Mexican Males. Its because the Mexicans actually spend taxes on schools, education, and Health care. In America We spend on Wars. Im trying to get into Canada. They dont have crazy conservatives destroying the quality of life!

[pipkguitar]

@JUDALATION Does the US government spend less on schools, education, and healthcare than Mexico does?

[JUDALATION]

@pipkguitar Almost 90 perrcent of Mexicans are covered. Also schools are more strict and college is more affordable. so Yes... in regards to inflation and affordability, they spend much more than America. its just the facts.

[mispistoleros]

@JUDALATION, no crazy conservatives in canada? ever heard of stephen harper?

Fault Lines - Canada-Israel: The other special relationship

watch?v=oQ2MY58RunM

the US is in denial about having its treasury, military, executive, congressional and judicial all hijacked by AIPAC, PNAC and assorted neo-cons. 911 was a coup d'etat.

dual israeli-american and former AIPAC official, wolf blitzer, is part of the problem; he has no credibility as a news anchor. same for greenspans's wife, andrea mitchell.

[mispistoleros]

as for china, the corrupt, criminal, nepotistic CCP Bling Dynasty has no support, neither with the populace nor the military. its economy is still entwined with that of the US, with 40% of its exports destined for the US. unemployment is already above 20% and as a chinese economist at the Beijing Academy of the CCP said in an article a few yrs ago, the Bling are "bamboozled" by their own fake stats.

china is every bit a house of cards as the west, with internal debt = to the UK, over 60%/GDP.

[wolfemanxd]

Starting next summer I'm going to grow as much food as a can on my farm so I can survive the food loss that America is going to have happen.

[Budvb]

Problem with America is we put so many Anchors out the back of our boats that we are trying to move while more and more Anchors on the ship are being put in the water. If we can stop the Anchors and start putting them back on the Ship,this ship will move freely again. The Power to Get this Country back on track is in We The People! Not Government!

[rextrek]

yes,yes,yes....and yes..and oh yea. yes.

[MeatloafBomb]

Yeah...we're fucked as a country.

[FreedumbFighter28]

IF we are in decline? what a joke...I love cafferty

[kimintexas]

We have beggars on every street corner, please help these people when you can, a couple of dollars can mean a meal for someone. Yeshua says what you do for the least among you, you have done for me.

[alucardthealchemist]

It might be good for America if it's finally not #1 and everyone officially knows it, then maybe they'd stop pulling that "we're #1" crap out of their ass constantly and ACTUALLY DO THINGS to make us #1, to actually do better than we currently are.

[RastaLulz]

Jack is probably the only person I like on CNN. He always has something intelligent to say.

[collector842002]

doesn't it seem that even though china is quickly rising as far as its economy that its falling just as fast?

[brianestoll]

@collector842002 expand please?

[jmjfanss]

Ron Paul is our last hope of getting america revived again.

[dafttool]

@jmjfanss Then all hope is lost.

[NotSoOldHippy]

@jmjfanss Ron Paul is a shitting insane Christian buttfuck Creationist and a theofascist corporate traitor.

[420gma]

@NotSoOldHippy I was just checking out your channel. Nice. And your right about paul.He's a anarchist just like most libertarians.I also like thunderf00t.

[jmjfanss]

@NotSoOldHippy

Shut the fuck up!

[dingyilin]

America needs to cover its retreat from imperial greatness. That's absolutely true.

[SuperSparky2012]

Sad But possibly True.

[reym613]

America denies everything

[phillisthebarbarian]

duh, America is in decline... this is so 2004.
