NORTH AMERICA: THE ENGINE, THE POWER,
AND THE FORCE THAT DRIVES THE WORLD.

North America-an extraordinary
geographical territory-
a mini earth-possessing all-
features found on planet earth;
its climatic conditions are many
varied,
its waters are many and great,
surrounded by three oceans and
multiple rivers,
among its rivers are Missouri,
Mississippi, Yucon, St. Lawrence,
Rio Grande, Nelson-Saskatchewan.

Land of Great Lakes
Superior, Ontario, Erie,
Michigan, and Huron,
earth largest group of
freshwater.

Home to the three-
beyond-description-
collective-waterfalls-
Horseshoe, American, and
Bridal Veil, commonly called
Niagara Falls;
outstanding and very
amazing landmark,
beauty, power, and
decoration of North America.





UNITED STATES OF AMERICA:
THE KING OF THE WORLD.

North America-home to
most powerful country in
history-United States-
the land driven by the
three-related ideas,
which come from its
exceptional outlook-
American Revolution,
Americanism, and
Republicanism.

America-scientific bedrock of
mankind-
land of social and political
engineering,
land-where breathtaking and-
weird events always take place.

United States-the land-
originally owned by
six major Indian cultures of
Adena, Coles Creek, Hohokam,
Ancestral Puebloan,
Mississippian, and
Iroquois cultures,
with several thousands
sub-cultures is now
the king of mankind.


United States-the land of immigrants-
from Europe, Africa, Asia, and
the Pacific has become the
global headquarters of all human
activities;
by means of entertainment,
military might, economy,
political power, and
mass communication,
United States has created
a global culture,
Americanism.

Americanism-a living culture-
rooted in traditions and customs
of liberty, egalitarian, and individualism,
a way of life for all citizens;
a required condition for non-
citizens through acculturation
by means of assimilation,
a blend and a change in character,
through learning  and socialization,
which always result in
exceptional transformation
once the culture is adopted.

A public square for
democratic enterprises,
global agora for gender and
equal rights’ matters,
platform where economic
empowerment rhetoric,
financial, and religious
freedom are packaged,
exported to other parts of
the world.



For decades,
North America-through
United States has continued
to control and dictate-
global political, economic,
social, and culture order.

Through hard and soft sciences,
by means of hard and soft news,
threats and rewards,
stick and carrot,
America’s deafening roars from
President of the United States-
POTUS-continue to reach
all corners of earth with
awe and trembling.

From her mega cities are
international organizations
that control the world;
in her coaster and inner cities
are multinational corporations-
profit and non-profit organizations-
richer and powerful more than
many sovereign nations on earth.


Unfriendly governments
and regimes,
these northern hemisphere
corporate organizations
uproot at will;
friendly governments,
they shield even when
unfriendly to their citizens
with all features associated
with despotic regime.


Its military-the five-
“uniformed services” Army,
Navy, Marine Corps,
Air Force, and Coast Guard
constitute most powerful
military in history;
stronger than ancient
Roman’s army of infantry,
cavalry, equites or celeres,
and Greek’s hoplite phalanx.

This Army operates in over
hundred countries and bases
around the globe and
operational command
headquarters,
located in Washington DC.


With global spread and
tentacles,
American military controls
seas, lands, air, and major
world waterways in order to
promote and protect its
national and global interests.

Because of its military power,
strength, and dominance,
America has become global
Police Force and,
its president is world’s
chief security officer.

Every time, world political
actors wait or receive
command from POTUS,
including international
organizations that take
directives from POTUS.

Global economic activities are
conducted and routed through
its currency-the Dollar-
through Bretton Woods, or
World Bank Group,
world economic activities
it micro-manage.

By means of short and long
terms loans from
international organizations,
developing nations’ economies,
it has on her palms;
by means of free trade and
unrestrained access to
global markets,
world it controls;
by means of customs duty and
subsidies removal on essential
goods and services,
world economy it directs.

The land every living adores,
the land dead once revered,
still the land the some
exprobate;
land of “hero and heroism,” and
land that takes pride in its
exceptionalism.
