When money becomes the tip of the pyramid it crumbles under its weight to the foundations. Money is a reward beside being a necessity that feeds the lowest of human fundamental characteristics, greed. Money is infectious and it has no antibiotics to stop it.
America serves as the best example. It is quickly turning from empire into a v-empire.
Ignorant, least educated society in the world is beginning to show results. Everything that happens in America is by design. When the founding fathers decided that people should have the right to bear arms to deal with an oppressive government, they did not consider that ignorant people will never organize to be effective in their right to deal with such government.
America’s elite is stirring the pot to their desired taste and the mob is happy that it has the means to survive. The more suppressed it gets the least likely it is to take action. History repeats itself and it shows that there is no place in this world it cannot show the reality of human kind.
Every day I see comments of our condition but never a solution.
Tomorrow Americans will vote again based on looks, bullshit and lies fed by the manipulators. Instead of casting a vote a fist should be shown and action taken so that the voices of the people take precedence over bullshit.
Voting, yes. But let's not confuse that sham process with the idea that "people's representatives" will be making decisions. There are far more powerful people in the shadows pulling the puppet strings of "selected" politicians, and the politicians are eager to comply. This is no longer a Republic; it is a Corporatocracy.
'They' have prepared long and hard for that eventuality.. Indeed setting ourselves against ourselves is a quintessential part of the plan. Passive but firm non-compliance, self-supporting networks, syndico-anarchic endurance. Fuck 'em. 'They' are not all of one mind anyway. They constantly sow the seeds of their own destruction. Greater forces are at work. Ghandi.. not Coriolanus.. Lao Tze... not Spartacus.. And anyway, there is no white knight that can be trusted.
The more one reads history, the more clear it becomes that people ARE the power in any nation. Antagonize them past a certain point and you'll likely lose control and power. So democracy as we now have it had been invented as a way to divert that power, to drive the herd around an interminable maze of rules and procedures, always delaying the quest for justice until the next election. Then we'll vote them out and show them... It's kind of worked a charm, but the game will get old one day.
I have been wondering if the US had a hand in the "coup" in Niger. If the US is trying to cut the EU off from energy, this sure seems like a win for them. This is a lot more subtle than blowing up pipelines.
The US and Europe fought WW1 and 2 at the height of their industrial revolutions. It was comparatively easy to convert factories to produce weapons of war. Both have been largely deindustrialized and have had their domestic mineral extraction industries shut down. I won't even mention the loss of knowledge of HOW to do all of this. The populations are uneducated. To rebuild this would take a couple of decades at least.
China is in the peak of their industrial revolution. This "war" is over before it starts. Very Chinese. The US could potentially win a few naval or air battles, but those don't win wars. This would also devastate global supply chains, including in both the US and China.
On that last note, maybe that will be the last hurrah of the Oligarchs. Devastate supply chains, causing more more and famine.
It's a view, certainly. Seen from the highest level, it's a perfect way to disable France's nuclear industry.. Of course the West is incapable of competing militarily for years to come in any way but a nuclear exchange. And even then... China's environment is not immune, viz. the pressure coming on the Three Gorges dam. Yes, all supply chains, and food security... If the real enemy is us.. it's all going swimmingly...
Too funny about the Outlaw US Empire Plunder boy getting peeved that China will do something similar. Both Russia and China have **vowed** to end US/Western Hegemony, which is repeated in their documents and rhetoric. On nuclear power, Rosatom has mastered the fuel cycle meaning no more waste to try and store somewhere, and current waste stocks can be converted to fuel.
I don't know Rosatom, but there is no nuclear waste on Earth. What we call "nuclear waste" is all highly enriched nuclear fuel, run thru a horribly inefficient thermal nuclear cycle. Nuclear waste is a scam. I have a theory of why this is, but it is far less important than the fact that it is highly enriched fuel.
When you have time, I highly suggest exploring Rosatom's website as it's involved in much more than the building of nuclear reactors that's typical of Russia's Public Utilities, which is what Rosatom is
Question to author: if you dissociate "nations" from "Empire", "Empire" already having migrated from Holland to England to USA - how can we be sure that "Empire" is not actually migrating once more and just scuttling its old now useless & collapsing shell.
Migrating to RUS and/or CN, with CN having been prepared for that since the 70's - possible?
Hi Alberto, this is an excellent question. China had already been designated as the next host and built into the dominant economic power in the process. However, the Chinese did not volunteer for that role - they accepted the ouvertures to draw the west in, not to serve it but to destroy the beast that's inflicted the century of humiliation on them.
That was literally the plan, written down and formalized starting around 1970ish. Move manufacturing to China, and draw down and depopulate the west over time. China would be the new host for the parasitic Oligarchs. Mao was an agent of the west. After his death, the Oligarchs slowly lost influence over China, just like they lost influence over the USSR after Trotsky was purge in the late 1930's. It is my opinion that Xi told them FJB. Some believe the Chinese are still in on it. Possible, but I look at China and Putins' actions over the last 20+ years and I believe they are fighting them, and/or the Oligarchs have broken ranks and are fighting each other for survival.
Yes, you can also look at statements by people like Soros now and ten years ago: back then it was, "China is the model of the future, they'll own globalization..." Now suddenly China is bad, doesn't respect human rights, etc.
I agree. Xi & Putin broke ranks. Xi has purged the highest ranks of the CCP if I remember correctly 4,000+ members during his 'corruption purge'. Putin has 'purged' many of the Russian Oligarchs, most recently last year where many fled to Isreal & Dubai. Now Russia is 'flush with cash' since the billionaires fled/western sanctions were made even more extreme. From I understand, a literal *building boom* is going-on all over Russia. Xi hasn't an easy job ahead of him internally. However the new *Multipolar World Order* should surely help with the restructuring of the primary wealth creator, the 'Export Economy'.
"May You(We) live in Interesting Times" as the old Chinese proverb says. :) ;)
With all due respect to the Bible, Old and New Testament, Orthodox and Latin, this started with the judicial murder of Greek thinker Socrates, related by Plato, around 330BC.
The Neocons following Prof. Leo Strauss and papa Prof. Kagan, all trace to the beast-man Thrasymachus at this judical murder. In Thrasymachus' words, war is the normal for humans, Perpetual war to avoid war, Responsibility To Protect (Blair), preventitive war, might is right, justice is the right of power, the Führer Prinzip of Carl Schmitt, much adored at Harvard, Yale, Cambridge.
All made crimes at the Nuremberg Tribunals, all continued unabated for 80 years, with the ideologues scott free.
Lurking in our midst are the beast-men, whether XY or not, now plainly evident with US un-trained
declaring Russians are not human. This official Ukraine spokes-beast has now clutched Gonzalo Lira .
This pre-dates Christianity by 300 years, is lost in the eschatology on all sides, and explains why Augustine wrote Socrates was the first Christian Saint.
The father of neo-cons Frederick and Robert Kagan is Prof. Donald Kagan, a supposed expert on the Peloponnesian War. Papa Kagan argues that war is the natural condition of man, and that the real mistake in Athens' disastrous Sicilian adventure of 415 B.C., was that the realist, General Nicias, advised against the adventure! By doing so, and by stating how much greater forces would actually be needed for victory, he turned the youthful Alcibiades' modest adventure, with limited liability, into a monumental disaster!
This is a classic Prof. Leo Strauss Ignoble lie - attempting peace causes disastrous war surges!
Prof. Leo Strauss and Prof. Kagan graduated 100's of PhD's.
From what I understand, Solon in Athens 2,500 successfully 'fought off' the *parasitic class* of Athens. What You've written ^^above^^ describes very well the collapse of Solon's 'humane' democracy.
See:
"Solon, (born c. 630 bce —died c. 560 bce), Athenian statesman, known as one of the Seven Wise Men of Greece (the others were Chilon of Sparta, Thales of Miletus, Bias of Priene, Cleobulus of Lindos, Pittacus of Mytilene, and Periander of Corinth).Solon ended exclusive aristocratic control of the government, substituted a system of control by the wealthy, and introduced a new and more humane ..." https://www.britannica.com/biography/Solonhttps://duckduckgo.com/?t=ftsa&q=solon&atb=v224-1&ia=web
Exactly, Solon's "republican" rule ended with the judicial murder of Socrates leaving Lycurgus' oligarchy. To this day ALL systems are of these 2 irreconcilable types.
Once Again, Thank You-Arhytas for the...*General History Lesson*. Most people have nooo idea about how long this *parasitic pathocracy* has had its 'grip' on the Human-Body/general populous. btw, I remember many years ago discovering the true origin of the word *idiot- Greek noun ἰδιώτης idiōtēs 'a private person, individual'*.
So to the real Question: "What kind'a idiot do I wanna be?" :))
I’m not so sure Socrates was such a saintly figure for humanity. Both he and Plato were anything but populists believing in the essential value of the average human and of humanity in general. I see Plato and Socrates as the fathers of the notion that the world should be run by a small cadre of superior people to ensure that society is run properly. Their hubris and arrogance fuels the current crop of tyrannical overlords.
I recommend the book, Beasts and Gods: How democracy changed its meaning and lost its purpose, by Roslyn Fuller. I think it paints a very believable picture of Socrates who was clearly intelligent, not without supreme importance in philosophical thinking, but a dangerous crank in the realm of political thought. And it was his intransigence to accept people’s individual sovereignty that led to his death as a danger to the state. He was essentially a traitor to Athens and to Athenians. And Plato is equally bad in the realm of politics.
They sewed the seeds of tyranny in western thought and we are now witnessing the harvest, and I hope the beginning of the end of this overarching notion that almost no human is capable or deserving of living a life according to their own values and experiences. They justified such tyranny on the divine right of superior intellects without any mechanism to determine just who is so superior, because in their colossal ignorance, no such mechanism or standard is possible. Their political notions are built on quicksand, but from there they insist upon ruling their inferiors. Sad little men follow such blatantly wrong ideas, and now is the time to defeat and crush these ideas and their supporters, once and for all.
" . . . it’s been the worst malignancy to afflict humanity since the days of the Roman Empire." Most important accurate phrase in the whole article. Thanks.
~ & BREAKING: The revolutionary government of Niger has responded to the suspension of US aid by telling the
US: "We don't want your money, use it to fund a weight loss program for Victoria Nuland."
It amazes me..the fact that this war criminal V.Nuland “ paid a visit” to Niger. I wonder if she brought plastic bag with cookies( as she did in 2014 on Maidan in Kiev), or maybe she ate it herself on the way. This people living in “ plastic world”, totally not in real one.
I truly Hope, the People of Africa win this *struggle*. "It is Time...(Film Terminator)".
Please Read:
"Before CIA-backed forces killed 36-year old patriot, Patrice Lumumba, for daring to lead the liberation of his country, he wrote to his wife:
"For without dignity there is no liberty, without justice there is no dignity, and without independence there are no free men.
Neither brutality nor cruelty nor torture will ever bring me to ask for mercy, for I prefer to die with my head unbowed, my faith unshakeable and with profound trust in the destiny of my country, rather than live under subjection and disregarding sacred principles.
History will one day have its say, but it will not be the history that is taught in Brussels, Paris, Washington or in the United Nations. But the history which will be taught in the countries freed from imperialism and its puppets.
Africa will write its own history and to the north, and south of the Sahara, it will be a glorious and dignified history.
Do not weep for me, my dear wife. I know that my country which is suffering so much, will know how to defend its independence and its liberty. Long Live the Congo. Long Live Africa!""
Could the coup in Niger (and loss of uranium) have been directed by the same hands who have used the war in Ukraine to cut off Europe's oil? I understand the new military leaders were trained by the US.
Hi Steve, yes indeed, that IS a possibility, but I'm not sure whether it is. Nuland's visit to Niger suggests that it probably isn't the case, but let's watch events unfold...
But she requested to meet with the current leader. To me, that means some confirmation that the US recognizes the coup leaders. Ultimately I don't know. It is a question mark in my mind. I also question whether the US "helped" the coup. It seems the US is trying to cut off the EU from energy. The "coup" is far better soft power than blowing up pipelines. In my own mind, I don't know.
From what I've read from various sources, Cookie Monster-Nuland was refused a meeting with the coup leader General Abdourahamane Tiani. What happens next in Niger? Will be interesting to see. The 'parasites' always play all-sides. After reading this https://theintercept.com/2023/07/27/niger-coup-leader-us-military/ , I convinced We may see some big surprises there central Africa.
Bravo once again Alex...if you can inform substack about there clumsy comment posting security measures that only add friction to the platform...this might increase dialog...still your insights are precious!
