Petition fallacy

Petition fallacy

It took six years, four in undergraduate studies and two in postgraduate master's programs, all in Political Science.

Major deliberate omissions, I know this because no book or paper was indicated in the extensive bibliography, which has more than two hundred bibliographic references, ever touched on these points or even mentioned them:
1) There are no direct elections for president in the USA;
2) There is no free universal healthcare in the USA;
3) There is no universal free undergraduate higher education in the USA;
4) There is no voter registration and control in US elections;
5) I was the first to disseminate information about the 500 extraterritorial American bases in 1998.
6) None of them ever mention the confiscation of gold from all US residents to form the basis of the Federal Reserve, prohibiting Americans from wearing and owning gold jewelry;
7) None of them ever mentions the US veto at Bretton Woods in the UN for the creation of a universal international exchange currency, imposing the dollar as collateral at Fort Knox at a ratio of one gram of gold for one dollar.
8) The revocation of the gold standard in 1972 by Richard Nixon, and the creation by Henry Kissinger of the NATO military nuclear umbrella petrodollar standard.
9) It never mentions the Plaza Hotel deal to undermine the growth of the Japanese economy, then the German economy, then the same scheme in the Korean economy;
10) They did not reveal the IMF's strategy for indebted countries through the unplanned and unagreed-upon unilateral increase in interest rates that bankrupted debtor countries in dollars, in exchange for selling their state-owned companies and their privileges of market reserves and mineral reserves.
11) We weren't told that the US withdrew the Jupiter atomic missiles from Turkey and Italy in response to the reciprocal withdrawal of Russian atomic missiles from Cuban territory in 1962;
12) We were never told about the space race where the Americans won the race to land a man on the moon, but lost:
a) the race for the first satellite in space,
b) the first living being in space,
c) the first astronaut or cosmonaut in space,
d) the first woman in space,
e) the first rendezvous of two spacecraft in space,
f) the first spacewalk,
g) the first working space station;
h) the first landing on a planet;
i) the first spacecraft to land on the moon,
j) the first spacecraft to land on Mars.

13) We were never told about the invasion of the Hawaiian Islands to incorporate them into US territory;
14) They never told us about the expansion into Mexican territory to extend the US territory from two million to six million square kilometers;
15) They never told you that all one hundred physicists, chemists, and mathematicians of the Manhattan Project, the first atomic bomb, the first nuclear reactor, were migrants and none were North Americans;
16) They never told you that the US Senate banned Quantum Mechanics because it was contrary to the natural laws of the Protestant God;
17) The books don't tell you that President Roosevelt ordered American military forces to invade Rio Grande do Norte to create a springboard to Africa in World War II without the knowledge of Brazilian President Getúlio Vargas;
18) They didn't tell you that the US invaded Colombian territory to create the country of the Panama Canal;
20) The US never declared war on Vietnam, never officially sent troops to Vietnam, all the military personnel were military advisors to the South Vietnamese government, and in the end they didn't lose the war, they just withdrew from there; 21) The US violated the agreement on the 35th parallel, which was the border between the Koreas since the end of World War II, according to the Potsdam Convention between Churchill, Stalin, and Truman.

22) They never told you that members of the Ku Klux Klan came from the Democratic Party of the Southern US.

23) The US attempted to assassinate Fidel Castro 183 times and planned more than 640 assassination attempts against him.

In the face of so much omission, it seems that the condescension and prevarication indicate guilt consciously hidden in the complacency and consented tolerance of the lenient and recidivist Brazilian elites regarding the harmful behavior of American political culture.
