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
