At some point you're just throwing in there to claim it's symbolism.Β

great work but what does the "t" on his head mean?

Hmmm....Β
Does it mean America is upside down because the controlled and imprisoned citizens with terrorists on their minds are being watched by NSA while they silently wipe their butts with money and poop all over the government?Β

Great art. The money is may as well be toilet paper. The American flag is upside down wallpaper. The toilet bowl is the white house, which is leaking. Is the T on his head for Twitter? The mouth is covered in a censorship wrapping. Great art.

the t could also represent the fear or terrorism or being labeled as a terrorist for simply being different and overly outspoken against the government

I don't know if I'm wrong (probably) but the T could be for Ford T, became the symbol of mass production in early 1900s, that concept is correlated to human alienation.

This nation shall not perish from the Earth...
I believe our Declaration speaks for itself. When we approach our downfall, what will become of our nuclear stockpiles, fort Benning's massive supply of napalm? NASA? I hope the military wont sell it off like the Russians did. If the USA falls, we could be looking at a second dark age.

90% of the world is as developed as you are, hollywood's lights and make-up just make it look prettier so that you think your cage is better than ours.

I'm aware of that... I'm not an idiot. What the rest of the world DOESN'T have is america's military technology. I'll admit we're not as efficient as the French are when it comes to wiping out terrorist insurgent cells, but we maintain the world's largest navy, and boast the world's fastest bombers.

Without america there is no need for terrorism. I don't know if you have noticed but you do notthing at all to stop the pirates on the asian coasts, the warlords of subsaharan africa, neither of the world's mafias or the latin-american drug lords. The only enemies america's army fights are the ones made by yourselves. Today's popular war is being fought between a "tyrant" (who's only a tyrant because he refuses to submit his industry to the IMF and the "free world" cannot allow that) and the same people your army weaponized during the Irak invasion, that happened because you weaponized people during the gulf war, that happened because you weaponized people during the cold war...
Without your army, your army's enemies wouldn't even exist, and since you do notthing to fight other nation's true enemies, such "amazing" military prowess wouldn't really be missed.

I never said we had an amazing military. Nor did I praise it's commanders for their common sense. I said we are the most technologically advanced.
The situation in the Middle East, is just the definition of insanity.

To me, the way America is freaking out about terrorists similar to how South Koreans used to freak out about North Koreans.
Long times ago, when the people were not obeying the president/dictator, there were news about tunnels that North Koreans supposedly made to enter South Korea. This made people to be scared allowing the government to be violent and ignore human rights, and it worked really well in the past since people did not want to die.
Love the message inside the work!
