Can We End the American Empire Before It Ends Us?
BY CHALMERS JOHNSON
In politics, as in medicine, a cure based on a false diagnosis is almost always worthless, often worsening the condition that is supposed to be healed. The United States, today, suffers from a plethora of public ills. Most of them can be traced to the militarism and imperialism that have led to the near-collapse of our Constitutional system of checks and balances. Unfortunately, none of the remedies proposed so far by American politicians or analysts addresses the root causes of the problem.
According to an NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll, released on April 26, 2007, some 78% of Americans believe their country to be headed in the wrong direction. Only 22% think the Bush administration’s policies make sense, the lowest number on this question since October 1992, when George H. W. Bush was running for a second term — and lost. What people don’t agree on are the reasons for their doubts and, above all, what the remedy — or remedies — ought to be.
The range of opinions on this is immense. Even though large numbers of voters vaguely suspect that the failings of the political system itself led the country into its current crisis, most evidently expect the system to perform a course correction more or less automatically. As Adam Nagourney of the New York Times reported, by the end of March 2007, at least 280,000 American citizens had already contributed some $113.6 million to the presidential campaigns of Hillary Rodham Clinton, Barack Obama, John Edwards, Mitt Romney, Rudolph Giuliani, or John McCain.
If these people actually believe a presidential election a year-and-a-half from now will significantly alter how the country is run, they have almost surely wasted their money. As Andrew Bacevich, author of The New American Militarism, puts it: “None of the Democrats vying to replace President Bush is doing so with the promise of reviving the system of check and balances…. The aim of the party out of power is not to cut the presidency down to size but to seize it, not to reduce the prerogatives of the executive branch but to regain them.”
Already got us Indians. Your Nation has been able to keep quite a bit hidden through the years through it’s covert actions against other Nations that also include the use of Economics.
So why is it you think the Banks & Corporations that actually control your Nation wouldn’t seek to subjegate you…to Obey Slaves…That they will do your thinking for you, and you will think the way they want you to think.
All your needed for is to go to the store and buy stuff, or go to the Bank and open an account & get loans. Or to be used by the military to subjegate other Nations.
The three forms of Thought your Masters offer you are, Conservative, Liberal, or Moderate with variations in all three.
You will not have any other thoughts.
The Conservative Evangelists hailed Bush as their Moses, or what is called a Worldly Savior. Now many are looking to Ron Paul as the only man who can save your Nation.
Regardless who is President or Senator in your Nation the Banks and Corporations control things as well as many of those who are in secret societies around the world.
The Israelites asked God for a Worldly King because they wanted to be like the other Nations. God told them a worldly king would enslave them. Perhaps God looks upon your world as a Slave World.
God knew the Israelites did not want what he wanted for them because they envied the other Nations. So he gave them a king. They ended up with both Herods & the Caesar’s of Rome.
Your Nation, according to my reading was patterned after Rome.
The vast majority of Israelites rejected the Spiritual King in favor of the Worldy King, Caesar, in yelling, We have no other King than Caesar.
Thus they aligned themselves…Spiritually with Caesar’s Rome…and your Nation…according to my reading was pattenerd after Rome, and Israel now aligns it’s self with your Nation.
Mystery Babylon is a Spiritual Whore/Harlot. The Prophets of Israel called Israel a Spiritual Whore or Harlot. At this time my considerations are the greatest possibility your Nation is Mystery Babylon…with the three major principles of The Beast being your Nation, the U.K. and Israel.
So perhaps everything isn’t all about You, and Your Nation upon the Earth, and what you call, Freedom, which is nothing more than man’s freedom, as the Romans had all the same, if not more, freedoms that you have upon the Earth.
Freedoms that men can take away by the stroke of a pen.
Perhaps what you call…Freedom…God calls Slavery.
God warned the Israelites a King would enslave them.
Flap-assed opinions, but how do the common-people vent their opinions to you?????????????????
