Foreign Policy

America is not to blame for all that has happened in Afghanistan these last few weeks. That is casting the blame too far. Biden is not to blame. That is casting the blame too narrowly. The entire Biden administration is to blame. Their appointees and staff are in many cases the same people who ran foreign policy under the Obama-Biden administration. They oversaw the fall of Libya and Benghazi. They flew planeloads of cash to Iran. They enabled the rise of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria. This is not their first goat rodeo. This is not the first nation destabilized or destroyed on their watches. Now they have abandoned our own citizens and allies in Afghanistan. They should all be fired for cause. They should be impeached. They have betrayed our allies and us. They did not need to do this. They chose this path. Never Forget.

Mississippi’s casinos supported a surprisingly altruistic society from the very beginning. They ran the numbers, studied the studies, and came to the decision that a happy and healthy population was good for profits. They could work longer, suck more foreigners out of their hard-earned money, and they were far less of a headache to govern. Families with nice houses and white picket fences are less likely to break the law and hurt other people, greatly reducing the amount of money required to keep the peace. They also aggressively supported free speech on all platforms, especially that speech critical of the government. Monitoring the complaints allowed them to know where they should modify matters to address common concerns. Mississippi has one of the highest standards of living, and greatest profits, in known space because of this aggressively altruistic governance.

Mississippi had money to burn when most other States were just trying to survive. They funded many other State militaries, and many consider them to be one of the unifying agents that brought the Confederation of Dixie together. This was not charity on their part. The casinos that funded it all considered peace and security in the regions surrounding them to be an investment for their own good, and they secured many gold-plated contracts with local governments that remain in effect to this day. They also helped fund numerous space launches, and were primary sponsors to the first generation of casinos in Earth orbit. They have continued funding casinos, and other new ventures, all over known space to this day. Their ventures often fail, but they also often succeed, and the casinos consider the gamble to be worth it.

Mississippi’s casino-backed government spent many years fighting the various terrorist and rebellious groups in the State’s poorer, more rural regions. Some proved easy to subdue, most often by simply buying their grievances out. The casinos had a great deal of money, most of it from Out-of-State sources. Giving the poorer citizens of Mississippi a piece of the pie was small ball for the casinos. The harder nuts to crack proved to be the various anti-capitalist revolutionist terror groups. They sported funding from beyond the State as well, and many of their best leaders trained with their brothers in arms from the various Islamic States. They were extremely dedicated to the revolution, forcing Mississippi’s new government to hunt down and eradicate them, one group at a time. This was often unhealthy for the nearby landscape or any people in the area.

Mississippi truly was different from most States during Second Great Depression. Most States saw riots and looting in the cities, and law and order in the smaller towns and farmlands. But it was the rich and powerful gambling districts and cities of Mississippi that had power and security to keep them safe. And it was in the poor rural and small town regions that the evils of roving gangs and terrorists took hold, though they did manage to the storm the Capitol. The casinos helped coordinate the emergency election after the Governor was murdered, and they put forth a mutual candidate that would represent them all. He won easily, formed a new government on the Gulf Coast behind casino security lines, and proceeded to fight a long war to reclaim the rest of the State from the chaos it had fallen to.
