Our Fate Is That Of All Empires

A few thoughts I would like to share with the few GLPers who are educated and have a nuanced worldview, or who are even among those who can think independently and out of the box.

Our fate is that of all empires. We have lived well for decades. Much better than our own productivity would have allowed. But this prosperity was of course paid for by others. Namely, by those we invaded and plundered.

With our war machinery we brought 'peace and democracy' wherever it served our geopolitical interests or where we wanted to secure access to raw materials. Mostly diplomatically, with blackmail and bribery, often with force of arms. We have over 800 military bases around the world and have influenced or determined the formation of governments in dozens of, actually sovereign, states since WW2.

Cheap gasoline we had not because you voted right, but because as 'gods own country' we not only murdered over 500,000 innocent women and children in Iraq, but also made sure Africa stayed on the ground and did not use its unique wealth of mineral resources for itself and its own people.

Currently we see the war in Europe, in which the small country whose economic power can rival the giant China, Germany, plays a central role.

The Germans should have a prosperity that would make us look like a developing country in comparison. In fact, they bring up the rear in the EU. Why? Are the Germans stupid? No, they aren't. We just haven't given the Germans back their sovereignty since WW2. Germany is our colony and an open prisoner of war camp. It is through Rammstein that we have conducted all our military operations and regime changes in the Middle East, and it is in Germany that most of our nuclear weapons, directed against Russia, are stationed. But it gets even better. We have written into the Germans' provisional constitution that they may govern themselves, but they must pay us for all of this. For preventing them from being friends and doing business with Russia. For cheating them out of their hard-earned prosperity to secure our own.

If Europe, Russia and China were able to work and do business undisturbed, it really wouldn't look good for us.

This is not about political ideologies, but about economic interests. And for these economic interests, we are not fighting communism, but preventing, the capitalism of others. That is a huge difference.

As has often been the case with empires, however, the elite then eventually becomes too greedy and too megalomaniacal. That is what has just happened to us and continues to happen. American excess. And not only excess, but also the willingness to irretrievably destroy the entire, very diverse, culture of Europe, but also to let our own country go to the dogs. It is the willingness of the already defeated elite to take the entire world down with them in their own demise.

That's why many are fed up with us, because our ideals of freedom and justice only ever apply to ourselves and never to others.

The American century is coming to an end. It will do us good to travel through a vale of tears and consider how we want to live and what role we want to play in the world. Now comes the time when we reflect on what once were our values and what is really important to us in life.
