empire strikes back

EMPIRE STRIKES BACK, THE SEQUAL
You really have to wonder, are the powers that be incredibly stupid, having no fundamental grasp on history, or are they just so friggin lazy that they are stealing the playbook on how to run an empire directly from Great Britain. Either way, while it is quite profitable and I am sure vastly entertaining, it is not the way keep going for any length of time. The flame that burns twice as bright burns out in half the time kind of thing. But the point here is that the US empire so closely mirrors that of the UK that it is a bit scary. No, I am not saying that the Rothchild’s are controlling the Illuminati through London and pulling the strings in New York. I am saying that the torch was passed from London bankers to those in New York and the big oil companies jumped on the bandwagon and the politicians and lawyers followed so closely behind to pick up the scraps that they pretty much just buried their noses up the butts of the bankers and oil companies so that absolutely nothing went to waste by actually falling to the ground to get dirty and stepped on and wouldn’t the tree hugging granola crowd be happy that there is a closed loop of production, use and recycling.

In the period following the defeat of Napoleon and especially in the last quarter of the nineteenth century, Britain began to seriously lag behind Germany in its Industrial sector. British equipment was old and far from state of the art. Rather than modernize and make the necessary adjustments, they took the easy way out by deciding to concentrate on the service sector. Sound familiar? They forced wages down by among other things allowing women and children to work. Free trade was introduced in agriculture so that imports made home production unprofitable. Unable to live off of their own production, farmers were forced to join the money economy and were unable to contribute to national food security. Instead of education and investment and hard work, most serious money was made in financial manipulation. As a result the country was weakened and stood little chance against Germany. This was 150 years ago and could be the headlines today by substituting the US and China for the UK and Germany.

World War One was not about an assassination and entangled alliances. Britain made and gave up allies at will, to suit her. She broke treaties as she saw fit. The reason WWI was fought was because of Germany threatening the economic welfare of Britain ( besides posing a threat against her navy ). And of course because the only way for Germany to transport oil from the middle east was a railroad constructed that went through the Balkans. The British thwarted her at every turn, even though initially Germany eagerly sought out British investment. But Oil was recognized as critical to the British navy. Britain could have remained self sufficient in coal for her ships but knew the tactical advantages were worth securing the rights to oil. Had Germany oil supplies in either world war, she would have done far better. Yes, the Nazis were evil. But Germany did have a legitimate grievance against how she was treated after the first war. Our hands were not without blood as the New York banks made a killing off war reparations.
*
During the first war, Britain dispatched about a million troops to the middle east to secure oil supplies. It was not as critical a resource as it would be twenty five years later, but the UK was definitely planning ahead. As a direct result of this France was forced to endure a disproportionate amount of fighting and causalities. If the US hadn’t entered the war France most likely would not have made it. And you wonder why they were so eager to surrender the second time around rather than being betrayed by one friend and having to wait until almost too late for the other to show up. The only reason the US entered the war was that the New York bankers were in danger of losing their investment and profits. Americans dying in the trenches bothered them not in the slightest.
*
And the British almost shot themselves in the foot by supporting the Nazi’s early on. Who better to stop the Communists than the Germans? Does this sound familiar? Muslin freedom fighters in Afghanistan. We are trying to control the oil supplies just as the Brits did. We are involved in Afghanistan to secure Russian advance. We are occupying Iraq. We have a lot of our troops there but have a lot of other global commitments besides.
*
We are letting our bankers dictate how the country is run and as a result we will go bankrupt. We ignore a crumbling country as long as the financial sector is shining like gold. We impoverish our workers and exploit all the “unworthy underclass” for profit. We think we have a unique set of problems but they are just the same results from the same type of exploitation from the monied class. Democracy and free trade are not designed to help or enpower us but to enslave us. And people believe the Federal Reserve is there to help us, to manage inflation! These people are our rulers! Global economic manipulation and mass resource theft are done by these guys before lunch time. Exploiting Americans doesn’t even break a sweat for them.
*
It might even be possible that the oil shocks of the seventies were a result of this kind of manipulation. Oil companies in America and Britain ( the seven sisters ) had heavy investments in Alaska and the North Sea. Between them and their banker buddies and those they controlled, a lot of manipulation of intelligence to Israel and the Arabs was done to both sides ( the Brits are/were absolute masters at the intelligence game and trained all our boys who set up our own spooks ) to start a conflict. In retaliation petrol spiked 400%. The higher prices saved the investments of our rulers and made them a lot of money. Deaths overseas and life savings lost here bothered them not at all.
*
The last one hundred years have all been about fighting for empire fueled by oil. This will not stop. And killing our own countrymen for more profit will also. Don’t be surprised by other strategically important events such as 9/11 to take place. NBC will be our cities air particles soon, not a TV station.
