The US and Global Wars: Empire or
Vampire?
Must Read - A quote...." September 12, 2014 "ICH" -
To the growing army of critics of US military intervention,
who also reject the mendacious claims by American officials
and their apologists of ‘world leadership’, Washington is
engaged in ‘empire-building”. -- But the notion that the US
is building an empire, by engaging in wars to exploit and
plunder countries’ markets, resources and labor, defies the
realities of the past two decades. US wars, including
invasions, bombings, occupations, sanctions, coups and
clandestine operations have not resulted in the expansion of
markets, greater control and exploitation of resources or
the ability to exploit cheap labor. Instead US wars have
destroyed enterprises, reduced access to raw materials,
killed, wounded or displaced productive workers around the
world, and limited access to lucrative investment sites and
markets via sanctions."
This website editor likes James Petras, however,
his analysis above is not very complete. He leaves
out two basic points as to WHY the US-NRE destroys
nation-states and who, or what, benefits from such
murderous mass destruction.
What the US-NRE is doing exactly conforms to the
furtherance of two basic objectives, one written, one
unwritten that also explains why the US-NRE's parasites
are simply not interested in establishing a traditional
empire.
1] The written objective. Per Oded Yinon's PNAC Protocols,
specifically as stated in "A Strategy For Israel in the
1980's", the plan WAS to deliberately destroy all
nation state competitor's to Israel.
Which is exactly WHY all those nations that were secular,
or semi-secular, such as Iraq, Libya and Syria were
attacked. And also WHY those that weren't, those
that were based on medieval monarchical structures, which
don't make very good nation-state, industrial,
competitors, became allies while at the same time they were encouraged to spread their
radical, Salafist Wahhabist terrorism across the Middle
East and North Africa.
The massively destructive force currently being funded by the US-NRE, Britain, and
the GCC Parasitical Families, and the "tip of the
spear" used to destroy many of these countries, and
keep them destroyed, that Mr. Petras doesn't even
mention.
2] The unwritten objective. Those
states that were attacked also represented a direct and
immediate threat to the private central bank known as the
Federal Reserve, and its fiat-script known as the
dollar. The dollar is the main reason WHY the US-NRE
is not interested in establishing an archaic, hard to
construct, hard to defend, and hard to manage "traditional
empire".
WHY in the world would anyone want to establish something
as quaint and old fashioned, as a traditional
empire? They're highly complicated geographical
economic systems where you have to get your colonies to
extract a specific set of raw materials, ship them to your
country, where you spend time and effort converting them
into finished goods, and ship them back to your colonies,
keeping track of your balance of trade, etc, etc,
etc, all of which has to be defended by static military
forces and a colonial administration.
Whereas with a Bankster run fiat-currency system you don't need
to establish a traditional colonial administration, all
you need is embassies and a free roaming navy and air
force.
You get to save enormous amounts of time, effort and
resources by simply beating peoples and their countries
into providing you their raw materials, resources, AND
their finished goods, for worthless pieces of paper
that costs you absolutely nothing?!?!
You even force other countries throughout the
world to pay for THEIR raw materials, purchased
from each other, using YOUR fiat script! An example
of which would be the now infamous fiat-script wealth
extraction regime known as the petro-dollar system! The best
part of the whole deal is that you can run continuous
balance of trade deficits forever!! Currently in the case
of the US-NRE anywhere between $300 to $500 billion a year
in pure profit!
Those who refuse to participate in your fiat-currency extortion scheme, will
wind up just like Iraq, Libya, Syria, Ukraine, and soon
Iran and Russia. It's an immensely more lucrative
and substantially easier system to manage.
PLUS you get to support your Military Industrial
Complex by the constant use of war for extortion, paid for
by the endless printing of your worthless script.
And you get use your now bloated Military Industrial
Complex to destroy any quaint attempts to set-up old
fashioned trading systems by major economic competitors. Such as Russia's growing energy
based trade relationships with the EU, or China's growing trade relationships with Africa.
All of this with the added bonus of murdering and
torturing millions for the sadistic entertainment,
gratification, and glorification of the US-NRE's &
Israel's parasitical elites!
What could be more simple?? What could be
easier?? Who could ask for more?? - mpg
