The End of American Hegemony

Oh, good ole boy Chalmers Johnson pimping again for the oligarchs. These guys will do everything in their power to demolish the USA and its Constitutional form of government. Only then, can they gain control.

"The powers of financial capitalism had another far reaching aim, nothing less than to create a world system of financial control in private hands able to dominate the political system of each country and the economy of the world as a whole. This system was to be controlled in a feudalist fashion by the central banks of the world acting in concert, by secret agreements, arrived at in frequent private meetings and conferences. The apex of the system was the Bank for International Settlements in Basle, Switzerland, a private bank owned and controlled by the worlds' central banks which were themselves private corporations. The growth of financial capitalism made possible a centralization of world economic control and use of this power for the direct benefit of financiers and the indirect injury of all other economic groups." (Tragedy and Hope: A History of The World in Our Time

"The New World Order will have to be built from the bottom up rather
than from the top down...but in the end run around national sovereignty,
eroding it piece by piece will accomplish much more than the old
fashioned frontal assault." (CFR member Richard Gardner, writing in
the April l974 issue of the CFR's journal, Foreign Affairs. )

The video you posted is incredibly good, thanks for posting it! However I wish you didn't turn it into a commentary on Regan, he's not even mentioned in the video. In fact I think you could even argue Regan played a HUGE roll in starting this current snowball of increased military spending.

I fully agree with you that we now have "Big Brother's press."

Consider the plight of Monica Goodling. For reasons connected with faith in God, in Justice and America she advanced to a position where the hammer of the law was poised to express God's wrath against crime, injustice and inhumanity!

How did this miracle happen? A connection to the Right school certainly helped. Thus a placement in government in a position of considerable authority followed.

Would the Law's quest target the Mafia, drug-dealers, subversives, flim-flam artists, people selling illegal arms to terrorists, slave traders and so on?

Absolutely not.

You are going to purge the Justice Department of anyone who thinks at all like a Democrat.

Are you going to shout “Absolutely not!” And be purged? No your career will end in humiliation, evasion and public disgrace once congress holds hearings and expresses its astonishment.

So it is too with inexperienced people entering the higher ranks of business for the first time. You are filled with theory, memorable quips, you can cite whole chapters on business cycles, economic theory. To your great surprise you encounter the world perfectly caricatured by Dilbert cartoons.

Your company has a competitor with a brilliant product? Can it be reverse engineered, slightly tweaked and the basic idea stolen? Is there any dirt on their corporate CEO? Can they be bought out, linked with the drug trade, or accused of child labor off shore?

Too often the last thing that matters in business is the business of actually making a superior product.

All those academic theories so beloved of professors who never set foot in a board room except to collect stipends for writing supportive puff pieces – are just so much vibrating air.

For 8 years of neo-con rule the plight of Monica Goodling was spread across the political, legal and economic spectrum. Those in a position to assess the need to blow the whistle had the example made of Valerie Plame to consider. Valerie was of very considerable importance, was brought down and when she asked for protection was ignored. What would be the fate of someone known to be a newbie with no connections and track record?

Dwight David Eisenhower warned us of what he saw happening in his own time. And he – if anyone could – understood the consequences. As Chalmers Johnson stated it – it was a ludicrous way to spend money. It was unsustainable.

The one truly insane thing that we could allow is to become junkies to that way of life. Ignoring earth's long history of collapsed empires – we went full bore into “Military Keynesianiasm”

Chalmers Johnson ends the interview by saying it's a "suicide pact."

If you look at the insane levels of repression applied to scientific knowledge about pollution, toxicity of pharmaceuticals, harmful effects of a wide range of industrial chemicals and processes used for example in mineral extraction – that pact is not just localized to Rapture-Awaiting America – but is now planetary.

In history: this is a first. Past Emperors have insisted that on their deaths their households were to be buried with them.

Now it is all life on the planet.

so far as of late, I have only seen the end of America in these past years. Even as a young teenager it didnt make sense why we would be tought in schools something other than the truth...........i truly believe this has been planned.

Dr. Re'bel stated that "the thread between patriotism and economics is no more." This was stated on Fusion Radio series on The Future of America. The question our researchers are asking is, who should we blame?

The Great Society Plan,
Jimmy Carter
President Wilson
All of the above
Or something else

TheJournalist?

"The question our researchers are asking is, who should we blame?"

Who --- do they work for?
What -- are their qualifications?
When - did they start working?
Why --- does this question seem important to you or them?

If you really are a journalist, you just flunked 01.

I agree with everything this dude says except taxing corporations....

corporations do not pay taxes...
they pass it on to us... and that is part of the problem

"corporations do not pay taxes...they pass it on to us... and that is part of the problem,"

Absolutely right.

Heard the same argument nearly 50 years ago and nothing much has changed except that 50 years ago businessmen congregated in bars to complain that their government 'just didn't understand them!'

Now, the two are much more... conjugal.

Look no further than tax law, accounting theory and politicians crying - "Corporations Pay Too Much Tax! - We're Killing Them!"

With kindness - unwarranted and preferential where it is always demanded that there be a level playing field...

correct me if I am wrong, wasn't Reagan who pushed for the "star wars" thing.
Wasn't it under Reagan's watch that we were paying around 150.00 dollars for a hammer ( just a simple hammer) I did like Reagan as a president and I feel he had much more of a grip than these two idiots that are attempting to run this country, mccon and plain stupid. I am not a republican, probably never will be. I am for the little man, the everyday man and woman in this country, i could give a shit about how many houses a person has just as long as i am allowed to have one. i did not vote for reagan, but respected some of his ideas. the nuts that are running now are as stupid as the one we've had for the last 8 yrs.
