The American Fairytale: What is Hidden Beneath American Propaganda.

By Gene Ogorodov 

You notice how in winter floods the trees
which bend before the storm preserve their twigs.
The ones who stand against it are destroyed,
root and branch. In the same way, those sailors
who keep their sails stretched tight, never easing off,
make their ship capsize—and from that point on
sail with their rowing benches all submerged. 
 --Sophocles

There is iconic photograph by Margaret Bourke-White of people waiting in a bread line during the Great Depression under a billboard with the caption: “World's Highest Standard of Living. There is no way like the American Way!” Beneath giant smiles bedraggled and downtrodden victims plod toward a handout suited only to keep body and soul together. In each and every face the unspoken narrative is impossible to ignore – the spirit has died, hope has fled, those who had little have nothing and those who had nothing have even less.

End of the American Dream
