Panic in the Empire – Get ready for America’s death spiral.

Or, don’t allow the flying chunks and pieces to wack you in the eye.

The USA is in a long and slow death spasm. It began about two hundred years ago when the Republic was turned into a Democracy. But things went really to dog-shit when the oligarchy took control of American finances with the 16th amendment. The last seventy years has been one of a dying Empire. Now, it’s in complete free fall. And everyone is scrambling to get their “little piece of the action” before it’s all gone. That being prefaced, let’s spend some time and talk about what is going on.

The election of Donald Trump was a “last gasp” in a near vain attempt to thwart the up-coming train-wreck. But opposition forces has, for all practical purposes, deprived him of his Presidential powers. His team, has back-stabbed him, thwarted his efforts, and conducted sabotage.

Yet he remains. A shining star for conservatives to lay their hopes upon.

The opposition party is vacillating between hard-core Marxism (with a friendly face) and a totalitarian dictatorship. They are idealistic uni-mind elitists. They are dangerous and they will be lethal if they ever get a chance to regain the formal reins of power again.

Americans like to dismiss this reality as “politics”, but it is more than that. It is battle between rats fighting over a scrap of pizza while the ship that they are on, sinks under the cool, cool icy calmness of the ocean.

America today. The rats are fights for the scraps of a once great nation. It's every rat for himself.

The Empire: Now or Never

Many people I talk to seem to think American foreign policy has something to do with democracy, human rights, national security, or maybe terrorism or freedom, or niceness, or something…

It is a curious belief, Washington being interested in all of them. Other people are simply puzzled, seeing no pattern in America’s international behavior.

But, really, the explanation is simple.

The reason of course is Empire.

American Empire

Empire; that desire for which is an ancient and innate part of mankind’s cerebral package. Parthian, Roman, Aztec, Hapsburg, British. It never stops.

America is an Empire. It utilizes all of the resources under it's control to maintain that Empire. It is run as an Empire, and aside from the stereotypical images of what a ruthless Empire leader might look like, behaves exactly like a nefarious global evil Empire.

When the Soviet Empire collapsed, America appeared poised to establish the first truly world empire. The developed countries were American vassals in effect if not in name, many of them occupied by American troops: Among others, Europe, Canada, Japan, South Korea, Latin America, Saudi Arabia, and Australia.

The US had by far the dominant economy and the biggest military, controlled the IMF, NATO, the dollar, SWIFT, and enjoyed technological superiority…

…Russia was in chaos, China a distant smudge on the horizon.

Powerful groups in Washington, such as PNAC, began angling towed aggrandizement, but the real lunge came with the attack on Iraq.

Current foreign policy openly focuses on dominating the planet.

American foreign policy is one of an global Empire dominating the planet economically, militarily and socially.

The astonishing thing is that some people don’t notice this.

Oil and Petroleum Dominance

The world runs on oil.

Controlling the supply conveys almost absolute power over those countries that do not have their own. (For example, the Japanese would soon be eating each other if their oil were cut off.) Saudi Arabia is an American protectorate,and, having seen what happened to Iraq, knows that it can be conquered in short order if it gets out of line.

The U. S. Navy could easily block tanker traffic from Hormuz to any or all countries.

From the central control stations within America, talented people within the deep state bureaucracy are working diligently to make sure that the Empire, and it's objectives are being met.

A major purpose of the destruction of Iraq was to get control of its oil and put American forces on the border of Iran, another oil power. The current attempt to starve the Iranians aims at installing a American puppet government.

The ongoing coup in Venezuela seeks control of another vast oil reserve.

It will also serve to intimidate the rest of Latin America by showing what can happen to any country that defies Washington.

Why are American troops in Nigeria? Guess what Nigeria has.

Note that Iraq and Iran, in addition to their oil, are geo-strategically vital to a world empire. Further, the immensely powerful Jewish presence in the US supports the Mid-East wars for its own purposes. So, of course, does the arms industry.

All God’s children love the Empire.

China and Russia are the Threats

For the Greater Empire to prevail, Russia and China, the latter a surprise contender, must be neutralized. Thus the campaign to crush Russia by economic sanctions.

All threats to the American Empire must be neutralized. They must be vanquished by whatever means possible, and secretly. Were an outright and overt war to occur, the United States would not fare well.

At the same time Washington pushes NATO, its deployed militia, ever eastward…

  • Wants to station US forces in Poland…
  • Plans a Space Command whose only purpose is to intimidate or bankrupt Russia…
  • Drops out of the INF Treaty for the same reasons…
  • And seeks to prevent commercial relations between Russia and the European vassals (e.g., Nordstream II).

China of course is the key obstacle to expanding the Empire.

Thus… the trade war.

America has to stop China’s economic and technological progress, and stop it now, as it will not get another chance.

For the American Empire to remain firmly and fixed in control, China must be stopped by any methods possible. With biological germ warfare being the present preferred method.

The present moment is an Imperial crunch point.

America cannot compete with China commercially or, increasingly, in technology. Washington knows it. Beijing’s advantages are too great:

  • A huge and growing domestic market…
  • A far larger population of very bright people…
  • A for-profit economy that allows heavy investment both internally and abroad…
  • A stable government that can plan well into the future.

And America’s Strengths…

America?

It’s power is more fragile than it may seem. The United States once dominated economically by making better products at better prices, ran a large trade surplus, and barely had competitors.

Today it has deindustrialized…

  • Runs a trade deficit with almost everybody…
  • Carries an astronomical and uncontrolled national debt…
  • And makes few things that the world can’t get elsewhere, often at lower cost.

Increasingly America’s commercial power is as a consumer, not a producer.

Washington tells other countries;

“If you don’t do as we say, we won’t buy your  stuff.” 

The indispensable country is an indispensable market.

With few and diminishing (though important) exceptions, if it stopped selling things to China, China would barely notice, but if it stopped buying, the Chinese economy would wither.

Tariffs, please take note, are just a way of not buying China’s stuff.

Since the profligate American market is vital to other countries, they often do as ordered. But Asian markets grow. So do Asian industries.

“Strong-Arm” Tactics

As America’s competitiveness declines, Washington resorts to strong-arm tactics.

It has no choice.

A prime example is the 5G internet, a Very Big Deal, in which Huawei holds the lead. Unable to provide a better product at a better price, Washington forbids the vassals to deal with Huawei–on pain of not buying their stuff. In what appears to be desperation, the Exceptional Nation has actually made a servile Canada arrest the daughter of Huawei’s founder.

The tide runs against the Empire.

A couple of decades ago, the idea that China could compete technologically with America would have seemed preposterous. Today China advances at startling speed.

It is neck and neck with the US in supercomputers…

  • Launches moon-landers…
  • Leads in 5G internet…
  • Does leading work in genetics…
  • Designs world-class chipsets (e.g., the Kirin 980 and 920) and smartphones.

Another decade or two of this and America will be at the trailing edge.

The big "elephant in the room" is the American use of biological germ warfare against China. First the destruction of the chicken industry, then the destruction of the pork industry (by using custom made drones) and latest is the attempt to wipe out a significant portion of the Chinese population using the COVID-19 coronavirus at Wuhan.

America’s damage is self-inflicted.

The American decline is largely self-inflicted.

  • The US chooses its government by popularity contests among provincial lawyers rather than by competence.
  • American education deteriorates under assault by social-justice faddists.
  • Washington spends on the military instead of infrastructure and the economy.

It is politically chaotic, its policies changing with every new administration.

The first rule of empire is, “Don’t let your enemies unite.” Instead, Washington has pushed Russia, China, and Iran into a coalition against the Empire.

It might have been brighter to have integrated Iran tightly into the Euro-American econosphere, but Israel would not have let America do this. The same approach would have worked with Russia, racially closer to Europe than China and acutely aware of having vast empty Siberia bordering an overpopulated China. By imposing sanctions of adversaries and allies alike, Washington promotes de-dollarization and recognition that America is not an ally but a master.

It is now or never.

If America’s great but declining power does not subjugate the rest of the world quickly, the rising powers of Asia will swamp it. Even India grows. Either sanctions subdue the world…

  • Or Washington starts a world war.
  • Or America becomes just another country.

To paraphrase a great political thinker, “It’s the Empire, Stupid.”

Conclusion

You do not need to believe me. Just look at how Russia, China and India are handing things today. Turn off the American propaganda bubble, and listen to what other nations think, and how they are handling things.

This COVID-19 coronavirus event is being treated by China as a DEFCON ONE military event against a biological weapons attack.

Just because CNN is not report it, does not mean that it is not happening. It is just that you, and your fellow countrymen, are unaware of it.

The American mainstream, left-ALT, and Alt-Right media are propaganda channels that the American government utilizes to control the population. They do not, and NEVER reflect, the true and real reality.

The United States is pushing, pushing, and pushing. The anti-Russia and the anti-China propaganda war is at a fever pitch. The last time we saw such media pro-war intensity was World War II.

I personally think that the “Genie is out of the bottle”, and unless something radical will happen, American neocons will drive America straight into Nuclear Armageddon. And do not be under the misguided impression that America will win. No one wins with Global Nuclear Annihilation. Especially when it will be full-spectrum with nuclear, germ, biological and chemical war.

No one.

No one wins with Global Nuclear Annihilation.
