America as the Spiteful Empire: Important update included
Empires in decline are dangerous and reckless, in full spite, challenging the decrees of history and contemptuous of human morality.
In the early 1960’s America’s President John F. Kennedy presided over one of the world’s great empires. Nikita Khrushchev presided as premier over the USSR, the world’s other great empire. Working together through back channel communications they averted nuclear war and an end to the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962. After the crisis was over the two leaders had struck a personal rapport and agreed to work toward world peace. Kennedy was assassinated a year later. Khrushchev was deposed as leader of the USSR shortly after. (continued after insert)
Important Update:
I have taken the position we are in nothing less than WW III. The reason being we are in a war that is going to decide the future of the world. The war in Ukraine was just the opening chapter with many more to come. It is a hybrid war, being fought militarily, ideologically, economically, covertly and globally as America is in a last ditch effort to establish global hegemony which is a dangerous and delusional ambition putting the whole world at risk.
In the interview above Tucker Carlson and Colonel Douglas Macgregor—one of the most astute analysts on the present world crisis— discuss a very dangerous escalation of the world war now looming large. As Macgregor points out war is chaos and we never know or control the shape and magnitude of escalations.
As the Israel/Gaza genocide unfolds it is a vortex where many more countries can be drawn into it from the Middle East and beyond. Any such confrontation can have dire consequences for the world economy, starting with destroying the supply chain of world oil and natural gas.
Psychotic American leaders are unconcerned about consequences, as they blindly exercise raw power.
We complacently believe we are immune to the consequences of wars half-way around the world— we are not. They affect our countries and economies. Macgregor addresses this issue and tells how the US itself could pay a heavy price for escalating this war. He outlines how America is exhausted economically and the consequences can hit the homeland in many different ways— including domestic terrorism.
I invite you to consider the contents of this interview carefully, distribute widely and act accordingly.
The empire is showing the abysmal depths of its spite directed at the world.
continued… Jump to 1991 and the USSR is in full collapse and it is a pivotal moment in world history as two empires blunting each others power, one has now gone. It was a precarious moment as the world waited to see if there was going to be a glorious and long deserved peace dividend rippling around the world or would the remaining empire see it as a triumph and exploit its position to reign supreme over the whole world?
The answer was not long in coming as Washington issued a string of new doctrines all aimed at global at supremacy. The PNAC, The Wolfowtiz, Full Spectrum Dominance, and the puerile Bush Doctrine,”you are either for us or against us” would come into effect.
Giddy with the assumption they were the “exceptional” power in all of history whose manifest destiny was to rule the world, they were as President Harry Truman said when he heard the first nuclear bomb had been successfully tested in 1945, free to do what they wanted. It would be a hot pursuit with perpetual war, perpetual brinkmanship and the empire of full blown lies, claiming phantom enemies to create pretexts for continuous war. Anything happening anywhere in the world could be deemed a national security threat to USA. It declared the world as its sphere of influence and no other country had a right to self determination. All roads would lead to Washington and all wealth would be ripped away from its rightful owners world wide.
When history endows any empire with such overwhelming power there can be two responses; responsible or irresponsible, and the callous rogue empire opted for the latter. So drunk with power it ordained itself God on earth. All who might challenge its omnipotence were slain economically, politically or militarily.
And so it was the empire declared war on the world and spent trillions of dollars building an indomitable military empire. Meanwhile the remaindered Russia and China were focused on building better stronger economies and formed an alliance to defend themselves from the belligerent empire.
By the randomness of continental drift millions of years ago they inherited the world’s largest land mass, what is now Eurasia. It has many countries and most of the world’s population, Russia, China, and India occupy most of the land mass.
The empire is not content to own and control the North American continent, it wants the Eurasian heartland to exploit to its heart’s desire.
Absolute power leads to megalomania and delusional fantasies. It leads to corruptions of the soul and the body politic. As US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger (1973-1977) stated, empires have no friends, only interests. In other words, they sociopathic and their only concern is absolute power.
Hitler’s Third Reich was a pretentious undertaking as it was supposed to last a thousand years; but lasted less than a decade. Such are the psychotic pretensions of tyrants who are drunk on power and privilege.
Empires and the corporate structures that drive them are sociopathic— exploiting both the societies that sustain them and destroying those that challenge them. They are a threat to humanity as they define the world in terms of power and profit, war and violence. They ruthlessly vilify, propagandize and attempt to obliterate history as necessary.
Empires in full flower are full of haughty arrogance but when the inevitable decline sets in they refuse to accept their mortality and rail against the dictates of history. Their time is past. Their machinations have done them in and their passing is as inevitable as the leaves of fall and the snows of winter. Any construct of humankind is cyclical, subject to the seasons, long hot summers are followed by the winters of our discontent.
Famed artist Andy Warhol once noted in these times everybody has fifteen minutes of fame. Fame is intoxicating while it lasts, but as it fades it must be confronted graciously. The same applies to empires; especially when they have mismanaged their tenure with endless bloodshed and violence.
When empires are in decline they can be most dangerous and reckless, as they are full of spite challenging the decrees of history and contemptuous of human morality.
When the USSR collapsed it did so peacefully. Even then Mikhail Gorbachev Russian President(1990-1991) recognized the collapse of the USSR created an ominous imbalance of power in the world. He elicited a promise NATO would not expand eastward to Russia’s border, a promise immediately broken, leading to the 2022 Ukraine conflict. Such is the treachery and spite of morally depraved empires. Such is the spite of an empire holding the world hostage to its delusional hegemonic ambitions, and laterally presiding over the wanton destruction of Gaza.
