The last western Empire?
August 01, 2019
“Missing the forest for the trees” is an apt
metaphor if we take a look at most commentary describing the past twenty years
or so. This period has been remarkable in the number of genuinely tectonic changes
the international system has undergone. It all began during what I think of as
the “Kristallnacht of
international law,” 30 August September 1995, when the Empire attacked the
Bosnian-Serbs in a direct and total violation of all the most fundamental
principles of international law. Then there was 9/11, which gave the Neocons
the “right” (or so they claimed) to threaten, attack, bomb, kill, maim, kidnap,
assassinate, torture, blackmail and otherwise mistreat any person, group or
nation on the planet simply because “we are the indispensable nation”
and “you either are with the terrorists or with us“. During
these same years, we saw Europe become a third-rate US colony incapable of
defending even fundamental European geopolitical interests while the USA became
a third-rate colony of Israel equally incapable of defending even fundamental
US geopolitical interests. Most interestingly looking back, while the US and
the EU was collapsing under the weight of their own mistakes, Russia and China
were clearly on the ascend; Russia mostly in military terms (see here and here) and China
mostly economically. Most crucially, Russia and China
gradually agreed to become symbionts which, I would argue,
is even stronger and more meaningful than if these two countries were united by
some kind of formal alliance: alliances can be broken (especially when a
western nation is involved), but symbiotic relationships usually last forever
(well, nothing lasts forever, of course, but when a lifespan is measured in
decades, it is the functional equivalent of “forever”, at least in geostrategic
analytical terms). The Chinese have now developed an official,
special, and unique expression to characterize that relationship with Russia.
They speak of a “Strategic, comprehensive partnership of coordination for the
new era.”
This is the AngloZionists’ worst nightmare, and
their legacy ziomedia goes to great lengths to conceal the fact that Russia and
China is, for all practical purposes, strategic allies. They also try hard to
convince the Russian people that China is a threat to Russia (using bogus
arguments, but never-mind that). It won’t work, while some Russians have fears
about China, the Kremlin knows the truth of the matter and will continue to
deepen Russia’s symbiotic relationship with China further. Not only that, it
now appears that Iran is gradually being let into this alliance. We have the
most official confirmation possible of that fact in words spoken by
General Patrushev in Israel after his meeting with US and Israeli
officials: “Iran has always been and remains our ally and partner.”
I could go on listing various signs of the collapse
of the AngloZionist Empire along with signs that a new, parallel, international
world order is in the process of being built before our eyes. I have done that
many times in the past, and I will not repeat it all here (those interested can
click here and here). I will
submit that the AngloZionists have reached a terminal stage of decay in which
the question of “if” is replaced by “when.” But even more interesting would be
to look at the “what”: what does the collapse of the AngloZionist Empire really
mean?
I rarely see this issue discussed and when it is,
it is usually to provide all sorts of reassurances that the Empire will not
really collapse, that it is too powerful, too rich and too big to fail and that
the current political crises in the USA and Europe will simply result in a
reactive transformation of the Empire once the specific problems plaguing it
have been addressed. That kind of delusional nonsense is entirely out of touch
with reality. And the reality of what is taking place before our eyes is much,
much more dramatic and seminal than just fixing a few problems here and there
and merrily keep going on.
One of the factors which lure us into a sense of
complacency is that we have seen so many other empires in history collapse only
to be replaced pretty quickly by some other, that we can’t even imagine that
what is taking place right now is a much more dramatic phenomenon: the passage
into gradual irrelevance of an entire civilization!
But first, let’s define our terms. For all the
self-aggrandizing nonsense taught in western schools, Western civilization does
not have its roots in ancient Rome or, even less so, in ancient Greece. The
reality is that the Western civilization was born from the Middle-Ages in
general and, especially, the 11th century which, not
coincidentally, saw the following succession of moves by the Papacy:
·
1095: Rome launches
the First Crusade
These three closely related events are of
absolutely crucial importance to the history of the West. The first step the
West needed was to free itself from the influence and authority of the rest of
the Christian world. Once the ties between Rome and the Christian world were
severed, it was only logical for Rome to decree that the Pope now has the most
extravagant super-powers no other bishop before him had ever dared contemplate.
Finally, this new autonomy and desire for absolute control over our planet
resulted in what could be called “the first European imperialist war”: the
First Crusade.
To put it succinctly: the 11th century
Franks was the real progenitors of modern “Western” Europe and the 11th
century marked the first imperialist “foreign war” (to use a
modern term). The name of the Empire of the Franks has changed over the
centuries, but not its nature, essence, or purpose. Today the true heirs of the
Franks is the AngloZionists (for a truly *superb* discussion of the Frankish
role in destroying the true, ancient, Christian Roman civilization of the West,
see here).
Over the next 900 years or more, many different
empires replaced the Frankish Papacy, and most European countries had their
“moment of glory” with colonies overseas and some kind of ideology which was,
by definition and axiomatically, declared the only good (or even “the only
Christian”) one, whereas the rest of the planet was living in uncivilized and
generally terrible conditions which could only be mitigated by those who have
*always* believed that they, their religion, their culture or their nation had
some kind of messianic role in history (call it “manifest destiny” or “White
man’s burden” or being a Kulturträger in
quest of a richly deserved Lebensraum): the West
Europeans.
It looks like most European nations had a try at
being an empire and at imperialist wars. Even such modern mini-states like
Holland, Portugal or Austria once was feared imperial powers. And each time
one European Empire fell, there was always another one to take its place.
But today?
Who do you think could create an empire powerful
enough to fill the void resulting from the collapse of the AngloZionist Empire?
The canonical answer is “China.” And I think that
this is nonsense.
Empires cannot only trade. Trade alone is simply
not enough to remain a viable empire. Empires also need military force, and not
just any military force, but the kind of military force which makes resistance
futile. The truth is that NO modern country has anywhere near the capabilities
needed to replace the USA in the role of World Hegemon: not even uniting the
Russian and Chinese militaries would achieve that result since these two
countries do not have:
1) a worldwide network of bases (which the USA
have, between 700-1000 depending on how you count)
2) a major strategic air-lift and sea-lift power
projection capability
3) a network of so-called “allies” (colonial
puppets, really) which will assist in any deployment of military force
But even more crucial is this: China and
Russia has no desire whatsoever to become an empire again. These two
countries have finally understood the eternal truth, which is that empires
are like parasites who feed on the body which hosts them. Yes, not only
are all empires always and inherently evil,
but a good case can be made that the first victims of imperialism
are always the nations which “host the empire” so to speak. Oh
sure, the Chinese and the Russians want their countries to be truly free,
powerful and sovereign, and they understand that this is only possible when you
have a military which can deter an attack, but neither China nor Russia have
any interests in policing the planet or imposing some regime change on other
countries. All they really want is to be safe from the USA, that’s it.
This new reality is particularly visible in the
Middle-East where countries like the United States, Israel or Saudi Arabia
(this is the so-called “Axis of Kindness”) are currently only capable of
deploying a military capable of massacring civilians or destroy the
infrastructure of a country, but which cannot be used effectively against the
two real regional powers with a modern military: Iran and Turkey.
But the most revealing litmus test was the US
attempt to bully Venezuela back into submission. For all the fire and brimstone
threats coming out of DC, the entire “Bolton plan(s?)” for Venezuela has/have
resulted in a truly embarrassing failure: if the Sole “Hyperpower” on the
planet cannot even overpower a tremendously weakened country right in its
backyard, a country undergoing a major crisis, then indeed the US military
should stick to the invasion of small countries like Monaco, Micronesia or
maybe the Vatican (assuming the Swiss guard will not want to take a shot at the
armed reps of the “indispensable nation”). The fact is that an increasing
number of medium-sized “average” countries are now gradually acquiring the
means to resist a US attack.
So if the writing is on the wall for the
AngloZionist Empire, and if no country can replace the USA as the imperial world
hegemon, what does that mean?
It means the following: 1000 years of
European imperialism is coming to an end!
This time around, neither Spain nor the UK nor
Austria will take the place of the USA and try to become a world hegemon. In
fact, there is not a single European nation which has a military even remotely
capable of engaging the kind of “colony pacification” operations needed to keep
your colonies in a suitable state of despair and terror. The French had their
very last hurray in Algeria, the UK in the Falklands, Spain can’t even get
Gibraltar back and Holland has no real navy worth speaking about. As for
central European countries, they are too busy brown-nosing the current empire
to even think of becoming an empire (well, except Poland, of course, which
dreams of some kind of Polish Empire between the Baltic and the Black Sea; let
them, they have been dreaming about it for centuries, and they will still dream
about it for many centuries to come…).
Now compare European militaries with the kind of
armed forces you can find in Latin America or Asia? There is such a knee-jerk
assumption of superiority in most Anglos that they completely fail to realize
that medium and even small-sized countries can develop militaries sufficiently
enough to make an outright US invasion impossible or, at least, any occupation
prohibitively expensive in terms of human lives and money (see here, here and here). This new
reality also makes the typical US missile/airstrike campaign pretty useless:
they will destroy a lot of buildings and bridges, they will turn the local TV
stations (“propaganda outlets” in imperial terminology) into giant piles of
smoking rubble and dead bodies, and they kill plenty of innocents, but that
won’t result in any kind of regime change. The striking fact is that if we
accept that warfare is the continuation of politics by other means, then we
also have to admit, that under that definition, the US armed forces are totally
useless since it cannot help the USA achieve any meaningful political goals.
The truth is that in military and economic terms,
the “West” has already lost. The fact that those who understand don’t talk, and
that those who talk about this (denying it, of course) have no understanding of
what is taking place, makes no difference at all.
In theory, we could imagine that some kind of strong the leader would come to power in the USA (the other western countries are utterly
irrelevant), crush the Neocons like Putin crushed them in Russia, and prevent
the brutal and sudden collapse of the Empire, but that ain’t gonna happen. If
there is one thing which the past couple of decades have proven beyond
reasonable doubt is that the imperial system is entirely unable to reform
itself in spite of people like Ralph Nader, Dennis Kucinich, Ross Perrot, Ron
Paul, Mike Gravel or even Obama and Trump – all men who promised meaningful
change and who was successfully prevented by the system of achieving anything
meaningful. Thus the system is still 100% effective, at least inside the USA:
it took the Neocons less than 30 days to crush Trump and all his promises of
change, and now it even got Tulsi Gabbard to
bow down and cave into Neocons’ absolutely obligatory political
orthodoxy and myths.
So what is likely to happen next?
Simply put, Asia will replace the Western World.
But – crucially – this time around no empire will come to take the
place of the AngloZionist one. Instead, a loose and informal coalition
of mostly Asian countries will offer an alternative economic and civilizational
model, which will be immensely attractive to the rest of the planet. As for the
Empire, it will very effectively disband itself and slowly fade into
irrelevance. Both US Americans and Europeans will, for the very first time in
their history, have to behave like civilized people, which means that their
traditional “model of development” (ransacking the entire planet and robbing
everybody blind) will have to be replaced by one in which these US Americans
and Europeans will have to work like everybody else to accumulate riches. This
notion will absolutely horrify the current imperial ruling elites, but I wager
that it will be welcomed by the majority of the people, especially when this
“new” (for them) model will yield more peace and prosperity than the previous
one!
Indeed, if the Neocons don’t blow up the entire
planet in a nuclear holocaust, the USA and Europe will survive, but only after
a painful transition period which could last for a decade or more. One of the
factors which will immensely complicate the transition from Empire to “regular”
country will be the profound and deep influence 1000 years of imperialism have
had on the western cultures, especially in the complete megalomaniac United
States (Professor John
Marciano’s “Empire as a way of life” lecture series addresses
this topic superbly – I highly recommend them!): One thousand years of
brainwashing is not so easily overcome, especially on the subconscious
(assumptions) level.
Finally, the current rather nasty reaction to the
multi-culturalism imposed by the western ruling elites is no less pathological
than this corrosive multi-culturalism in the first place. I am referring to the
new theories “revisiting” WWII and finding inspiration in all things Third
Reich, very much including a revival of racist/racialist theories. This is
especially ridiculous (and offensive) when coming from people who try to
impersonate Christians but who instead of prayers on their lips just spew
1488-like nonsense. These folks all represent precisely the kind of
“opposition” the Neocons love to deal with and which they always (and I really
mean *always*) end up defeating. This (pretend) opposition (useful idiots,
really) will remain strong as long as it remains well funded (which it
currently is). But as soon as the current megalomania (“We are the White
Race! We built Athens and Rome! We are Evropa!!!”) ends with an inevitable
faceplant, folks will eventually return to sanity and realize that no external
scapegoat is responsible for the current state of the West. The sad truth is
that the West did all this to itself (mainly due to arrogance and pride!), and
the current waves of immigrants are nothing more than a 1000 years of really
bad karma returning to where it came from initially. I don’t mean to suggest
that folks in the West are all individually responsible for what is happening
now. But I do say that all the folks in the West now live with the consequences
of 1000 years of unrestrained imperialism. It will be hard, very hard, to
change ways, but since that is also the only viable option, it will happen,
sooner or later.
But still – there is hope. IF the
Neocons don’t blow up the planet, and IF mankind is
given enough time to study its history and understand where it took the wrong
turn, then maybe, just maybe, there is hope.
I think that we can all find solace in the fact
that no matter how ugly, stupid and evil the AngloZionist Empire is, no other
empire will ever come to replace it.
In other words, should we survive the current
empire (which is by no means certain!) then at least we can look forward to a
planet with no empires left, only sovereign countries.
I submit that this is a future worth struggling
for.
