The “American Century” is over. The next “World Empire” already exists.

America is no longer #1, #2, or even #47.

A new empire has taken over and it is in total charge. It doesn’t have a single name. It doesn’t have a single emperor. It has no single geographic location. It has no face. It thrives on only one thing. Acquiring more of everything. And when it has it all, it will still want more.

Perhaps the closest name we can give to it is a conglomerate of corporations. It/they have but one goal. To own absolutely everything there is to own – including us.

And the most frightening thing is that they have virtually achieved their goal. They’ve pulled it off while everyone was looking elsewhere for “enemies.”

For all practical purposes, this “war” is over. We’ve lost. Most people have no idea that not only have we lost, but that a war even took place. We can’t form an army and beat them. We can’t gather together in guerrilla units and attack them. We can’t even make the majority of people on this planet grasp the concept that we’ve been beaten and that they are now nothing more than pieces of property that belong to the winners.

Some of you, no doubt, disagree with me. That’s fine. Explain to me why I’m wrong.

Tis a hard truth to swallow.
the people who have been looking at this issue are not widely read.

knew dumbed down Americans would pass, just as they expected when they set up the deals in the 70s between Chines industrialists and WalMart.

Fascism. WalMart was the key that opened America's door long ago.

So true, albeit tragic.

I've been down this road too many times already. :eyes:

I have faith in the common person.

We will be free when the last King corporate executive is strangled with the entrails of the last priest president.

I admire your faith in the common person. However, they have spent all of recorded history losing to whatever Hun, King, Conqueror, Emperor, Prime Minister, President, Great Leader, or con artist came along.

Every victory the common man has had has been too short-lived to be measured.

I can't be certain, but it's possible that the human species is well on the way to self destruction. Then again, if this proves to be the case, no one will be around to say "I told you so."
