Right of existence?
Power is a dangerous thing in the wrong hands. And when a single nation has the ability to wipe out entire civilisations—possibly even humanity itself—the real question is: who gave them the right to have such power in the first place?
A Nation That Has Used Its Power—Multiple Times
History remembers those who shape it, but only in the way they want it to be remembered. The United States of America is the only country to have used nuclear weapons on civilian populations—not once, but twice—dropping atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945, killing hundreds of thousands of people in an instant. A terrifying display of unchecked power that set a precedent for nuclear dominance.
And let’s not forget what happened to the indigenous people of North America—the systematic eradication of Native American and First Nations tribes through war, forced relocation, and cultural destruction. Before European settlers arrived, it is estimated that over 10 million indigenous people lived across North America. By the late 19th century, that number had dropped to fewer than 300,000. The Native population was decimated through waves of violence, massacres, biological warfare, and forced removals—all carried out by those who claimed to be “civilized.”
But the brutality didn’t stop there. After slaughtering Native Americans and seizing their land, the new settlers needed a labor force to work on this massive stolen territory. Their solution? Stealing people from Africa. The irony is undeniable—after claiming freedom and independence from British rule, these settlers built their wealth on the backs of enslaved Africans, treating human beings as property. Generations of suffering and oppression followed, all while the U.S. positioned itself as the global leader of “democracy and human rights.”
The Power to Control the Narrative
Despite these actions, the U.S. doesn’t get as much hate or condemnation as other nations. Why? Because they also have the power to control the story. The country that holds the most military might also happens to dominate global media, entertainment, and digital communication.
Think about it. Hollywood, news networks, social media platforms—all controlled or influenced by American corporations and interests. This is modern-day propaganda at its finest. When a country has the ability to dictate the news, it has the ability to dictate what people believe.
A Real-Life Neuralyser?
Remember that flashy device from Men in Black that erases people’s memories? Well, in the real world, it’s not a pen—it’s the screens we stare at every day. The flashing images from TVs, smartphones, and computers work just like the neuralyser, resetting people’s perceptions, keeping them distracted, and ensuring that the past stays forgotten or rewritten.
The antennas transmitting radio, Wi-Fi, and digital content act as a constant stream of controlled information, shaping how we think and what we believe. The U.S. has mastered the art of media influence, ensuring that its past sins are either erased, excused, or justified. Meanwhile, it continues to expand its military dominance and global interventions without facing real accountability.
The Bigger Question
So again, we must ask: who gave them the right to hold this much power? Who decided that one nation should have the ability to reshape history, influence minds, and hold the keys to global destruction? The U.S. has positioned itself as the world’s judge, jury, and executioner—while making sure the world sees them as the “good guys.”
If history has taught us anything, it’s that unchecked power leads to disaster. And when that power belongs to a country that has already used it multiple times, the world should be more concerned than ever.
But will we ever truly see through the illusion? Or will the flashing screens continue to keep us in the dark?
