What if?

What if The Netherlands invaded the United States?

What if The Netherlands invaded the United States to over throw a dictator and to restore a nation from a Theocratic Corporate-ocracy to a free Democracy? What if the Dutch forced the States electoral system from top to bottom to modernize and a trans national standardized voting system put into place. What if mandatory voting was made into law? What if in so invading the states under the premise of keeping Abortion legal and safe for all women the Dutch then made same sex domestic partners (whether gay or straight or something else) equal citizens with the same benefits of Marriage by way of a genderless state sanctioned commitment with all the rights as heterosexuals. What if these same liberal minded people came to re-introduce the idea of public schools for all people in the states whether they are legally a US citizen or not? What if the Dutch justified their goals under the auspices of fighting the tyranny of ignorance?

What if the tax system was overhauled so that money saved from the decommissioning of the Military, CIA and FBI was redirected to build up social security and healthcare for anyone with in the country? What if the money from the various previous failed wars on social issues (for example the war on drugs, terrorism, pornography etc.), was used to build domestic mass transit alternatives? What if the states prisons were shut down due to the unjust consequences of the fake war on drugs and a working rehabilitation system initiated instead. What though if Dutch service men and women were physically and sexually abusing American men and women and children caught in the detaining centers set up across the nation to ensure the peace of the land during this transition to Democracy?

What if the Dutch justified revamping National Education Policy by having Creationist theories taught at the elementary and secondary levels of school made unconstitutional? What if private schools were denied public funding and denied national academic recognition? What if due to the failures of the war on drugs that the current drug czar was expelled from the states and all drugs were legalized with a huge public education scheme like for tobacco put in place. What if marijuana became available from local State Cannabis and Recreational Pharmaceutical Outlet Stores and taxed properly thus making redundant the black market economy surrounding a natural plant?

What if massive building schemes were initiated across the land to beautiful the excesses of manmade architectural landscape so that strip malls and car parks were forced to be returned to nature as a woodland or wetland public park. What if loads of bicycles were imported from Holland and trans national bicycling paths put into place. What if new farm land and small old farms became protected national treasures from the threat of strip mall-ing and suburbanization tract housing schemes?

What if the invading Dutchmen used the new government to research and implement an alternative to petroleum based automotives. What if the new foreign interim Government Set up in Holland forbade the states from maintaining any alliances with foreign countries until it could better manage itself and those relations in responsible humanitarian ways? What if the Dutch and Spanish languages became viable alternatives to English in governmental affairs at the state and federal level? What if the Dutch invaders made prostitution legal and regulated and taxed it while ensuring public health and safety measures were put into place along with an education scheme? What if state governed brothels ensuring safe anonymous adult forms of leisurely pursuits were included as part of the definition of freedom and liberty.

What if the Dutch in reclaiming for their liberation efforts took back part of Manhattan and restored the long forgotten old streets beneath the former World Trade Center site and instead built more human sized buildings along with a public park monument to the memory of the people who died there and not to the buildings or architects or urban planners or politicians who opportunistically selfishly profiteered off of Nine Eleven?

What if the Dutch in all their hard working effort to restore Democracy and Liberty and Freedom to the Americans drained their own domestic economy back home in Holland causing much suffering and hardship for the Dutch citizens. What if in so helping the Americans the Netherlands began to deteriorate into a poorly educated excessively religious society with rampant under employment as various governmental structures decayed into useless bureaucracy. What if the Dutch began to protest and demand their Nation’s foreign policy started to focus on the needs of the Dutch and not on the Americans. What if the Dutch government stood to take over the American immense Corporate-ocracy wealth for a few of the Governments officials to get phenomenally wealthy from while paying for the foreign policy’s implementation by the taxing of the people of Holland?

What if the Dutch began to control the American borders and points of entry and stopped treating those passing across the border check points as criminals and terrorists but just let everyone in who pleased to enter the United States. What if the Dutch decided it was time for a new flag and resurrected the old forgotten flag of the Rattlesnake image with the text “Don’t Tread on Me” whilst updating it for the new American post Corporate-ocratic era? What if the government of the Netherlands decided every State in the revitalized new Union was issued a new flag to represent this new fledgling Democracy.

What if former members of the American Armed Forces were lured into jobs for domestic Policing of the new Union and to implement and ensure it ideals were met on the street? What if various local Militias from Ohio and West Virginia to Tennessee and Montana were trading in fire arms and making armed resistance to the new state of the States. What if these local insurgents were based in religious affiliations between Protestants and Catholics?

What if George Bush Junior and Senior and their respective white house administrations were put on trial in The Hague for war crimes and crimes against humanity? What if the Republican Party was banned and new parties were allowed to be formed.

What if the Americans left Iraq to manage its own affairs and oil reserves itself for better or worse. What if the Americans service men and women in Iraq were just brought home and we rebuilt our own nation.
