America’s global hegemony was initially crafted in 1913, through the introduction of the income tax, the creation of the Federal Reserve, and the consequent rise of the military industrial complex. Since then, America now operates 800 military bases in more than 70 countries, which has forcefully been subsidized through the taxation of the American population. While the American government can not be held accountable for its countless and atrocious war crimes, failing to pay taxes to support the military industrial complex will land anyone else straight in jail. While the Federal Reserve and income tax has certainly been a catalyst for the slow, but steady deterioration of America’s middle class, the greater destruction has certainly manifested outside the shores of America.
The world now stands in a precarious state where civilians throughout the world must face the threat of unwarranted attacks from US airstrikes, while the American military evades any level of condemnation through the pretext of it implementing democracy in other nations, and being the force of peace in the world it ironically wreaks havoc on. America, the great threat to world peace and perhaps the greatest human rights violator, has the deign to impose sanctions and unwarranted military aggression against countries while experiencing negligent global accountability. The majority of the world is too vulnerable to fight these forces, not to mention the IMF as well, and countries that are in positions of power are often happy to bow to their masters in Washington.
While questioning how this complex has risen is futile, it is worthwhile to speculate the unsustainable actions of America on both a domestic and global level, and to note how much of the world would benefit if America’s global hegemony was at its peak and poised to collapse. The world would benefit greatly if other countries could rise and create a form of hegemony that launched other nations into increased prosperity, through peaceful economic cooperation. I believe that this rise will be centered around Asia, and that it is by no means contrarian to claim that 60% of the world’s population is a wiser area for one to hedge their focus on. It is also safe to say that many in these 70 countries with US military presently pray for the end of this complex, perhaps most notably the population of Waziristan that fears being turned into bugsplat from a military force that is unable to distinguish between terrorists and civilians. Much of the world is poised to benefit if America’s military industrial complex falls.
FDI vs. Drone Strikes: The Intellectual Superiority of China’s Global Hegemony
China’s strides to assert its geopolitical dominance can in many ways be considered more intelligent, sustainable, and social in nature. The general discrepancy is the difference between unwarranted military aggression and strategic FDI, which can serve as a social and economic catalyst, as seen by the two countries’ drastically varying undertakings in Pakistan. Dawn News recently noted that Pakistan has seen 424 US drone strikes since 2004 killing 350 civilians, and how drone strikes increased by over 600% under Obama’s administration. Pakistan is one of many countries where US drone air strikes murder civilians, and strikes have even been made against children hospitals and schools in many countries.
Meanwhile China has swooped in to pledge a new $46 billion China Pakistan Economic Corridor, providing much needed infrastructure development for the country, as well as facilitating increased geopolitical cooperation between both countries. This is a far cry from America’s meager level of $218 million in 2012, and is a clear reflection of how excessive military spending has relegated its global duty to be more active in FDI, as the world’s largest economy. China’s continued emerging global hegemony can in many ways be considered more social and appreciated from countries, serving as an economic catalyst for some of these unsung countries. It is imperative to note that Pakistan has been Asia’s best performing stock market YTD, and how the market is a key global contributor in many areas, such as sugar, cement, and textile production to name a few. More social FDI from China and less bombing from America would certainly bode well for Pakistan, and I am rooting for this long term transition.
It’s the Economy Stupid
America is lagging behind globally in terms of FDI, which can easily be attributed to the country’s excessive military spending. If we look at Vietnam for example, which has the USA as its top export destination, we can see how America has been trumped by other Asian nations in terms of FDI, choosing to feed the military industrial complex in lieu of pursuing a valuable opportunity in FDI. Vietnam’s top investors have been Asian countries such as Japan and South Korea, yet many were quick to praise the now out of question TPP for its ability to bring in American FDI into Vietnam. The world’s top economy has been dormant in this sense, and was only quick to dive in to agree to begin supplying arms to Vietnam this year under the pretext of the country’s improving human rights environment, although it is blindingly obvious that this was intended as a geopolitical stab to China. America has a monodimensional focus on war, and has forgotten about the true underlying significance in global hegemony: it’s the economy stupid. We could say that America has a responsibility to reconcile other nations through its FDI, rather than cripple them with its military and sanctions.
While America continues to relegate this opportunity, Asia is becoming increasingly intertwined in trade and developing a robust middle class. In the long run, this will be a catalyst for the declining significance of America and Europe, and the rise of Asia. There is no free lunch in economics. At the end of the day, declined economic participation, in terms of FDI and production, results in declined economic significance and the failure to sustain this flawed model of global hegemony. America has sidestepped this perhaps with the artificial hedge from the Federal Reserve, the increased contribution of the financial sector to the economy, misplaced stock market optimism and its aggressive widespread military force. America’s military can certainly be considered a liability to the domestic population, and also as a global thorn to those that “need democracy”. In the long run, it is certainly feasible for this undesired hegemony to decline amid the rise of other economic global powers which focus more on economics and less on bombing.
A shift in power is befitting, and this is a futuristic trend that I am personally rooting for. A more prosperous world could be created with the rise of Asia, and the decline of America, primarily regarding its futile and destructive military pursuits. China can be praised for its purer strides to create a better form of hegemony, which is altruistic for other nations, and its actions in Pakistan is by no means an outlier, as seen by its strong FDI in areas of Asia, Latin America, and Africa. While the social nature of China’s FDI does stand open for some level of criticism, we can see that its relative magnitude is unquestioned, and it does deliver social value to some countries, as clearly seen in Pakistan. The long-term implication of these vast variances is very powerful, in terms of how other countries will respond when they rise in economic power: which would you prefer, infrastructure development or hospital and school bombings?

As pernicious as the US global hegemonic imperialistic actions and policies have been to the planet and they have been tremendously harmful, the world now has even bigger problems related to overpopulation, resources, environment and climate. How pathetic that even now as all humans are faced with the same existential predicaments we cannot band together. Sad

I am not entirely if the author understands that amerikas ‘futile and destructive military pursuits’, are a feature of uS ‘policy’, not a bug. Amerika’s military pursuits are designed to prevent the rise of peaceful economic development, at least by nations or groups it considers ‘enemy’. Maybe he does, but its a little hard to tell if grapes that specific point.

As the expansionists lose power globally they will turn on their own. Been going on for awhile actually.
Chris Hedges has noticed it and asks a whole bunch of good questions regarding.
Waiting for the Barbarians
“When we look back on this sad, pathetic period in American history we will ask the questions all who have slid into despotism ask. Why were we asleep? How did we allow this to happen? Why didn’t we see it coming? Why didn’t we resist?
Why did we allow the corporate state to strip away the rights of poor people of color and force them to live in terror in mini-police states? Why did we build the world’s largest system of mass incarceration? Did we not see that the rest of us would be next? Why did we agree that those defined by the state as terrorists could not only be deprived of their rights but be assassinated? Did we think the state would restrict itself to persecuting and murdering Muslims? Why did we remain silent as the state arrogated to itself the right to detain and prosecute people not for what they had done, or even for what they were planning to do, but for holding religious or political beliefs that the state deemed seditious? Why did we stand by and permit the state to torture? Did we not see that once rights became privileges the state would one day revoke them?”
“The failure of our capitalist democracy was collective. It was bred by ignorance, indifference, racism, bigotry and the seduction of mass propaganda. It was bred by elites, especially in the press, the courts and academia, who chose careerism over moral and intellectual courage. Our rights as citizens were taken from us one by one. There was hardly a word of protest.
Where were the lawyers, judges, law professors and law school deans who should have ferociously defended our rights to privacy, due process and habeas corpus? Why didn’t they challenge Barack Obama’s signing into law Section 1021 of the National Defense Authorization Act? Section 1021 overturns the 1878 Posse Comitatus Act, which prohibited the military from acting as a domestic police force. The section also permits the military to carry out extraordinary rendition of U.S. citizens, strip them of due process and hold them indefinitely in military detention centers.
Why didn’t the legal profession fight against the Obama administration’s misinterpretation of the 2001 Authorization for Use of Military Force Act as giving the executive branch the right to order the assassination of U.S. citizens? How did lawyers and judges allow the misuse of the Espionage Act to target and imprison whistleblowers? How did they permit the Supreme Court to define unlimited corporate contributions to electoral campaigns as a right to petition the government or a form of free speech?”

Nothing much has changed here since the election of the Donald. The one percenters will get more tax breaks and the executive offices will be fill with more members of the good-old-white-boyz-club. Here in the Clanhandle of Florida we have more than our fair share of Trumpettes who really thought this man would be their savior. Nothing is going to changes. This election is similar to where a man sits down at a bar. He notices a plain looking woman next to him and pays no attention. After each drink she become a little more pretty. As the night goes on she becomes down right attractive and he successfully gets himself invited to her house and when the moment of truth comes in the bedroom he finds she is a transvestite. Such will be the administration of the Donald.

Davy on Tue, 6th Dec 2016 5:53 am
On one level I agree little will change with Trump. The Deep state and the corrupted elites will remain but not whole. At other levels there will could be significant change. It’s called economic nationalism and that will not end well for globalism or the US for that matter if you are a status quo’er. It is unclear if at the level of nation states if Trump will break with the neocons and chart a new course with pragmatic generals and staff who see the benefit of less foreign involvement. A good retreat will make America militarily stronger especially within a framework of Russian American detente.
The US is now in a position to rebalance its military forces per a policy of economic nationalism. That is a big if because events often shape presidents and not vice versa but Trump is special in this case. He was not supposed to win. He is liked by the chief adversary to the US, Putin. Trump likes people to like him. He rewards such people. Trump admires Putin. If they can establish a relationship and chart a new course both have the ability to make it happen by force of personality.
We know Putin is arguably the most adept leader globally today. I equate him to Bob Lee the southern general who with less forces outmaneuvered superior forces against higher odds and almost won the war of succession. It was very close and it was only his hubris near the end that defeated the South in my opinion. Hubris could take down either Trump or Putin but it is also the stuff of change. Trump and Putin can initiate a new era geopolitically and economically. Both are nationalist with pragmatism towards globalism. Both are ready to use globalism as needed to support their policies. Of course globalism will not survive economic nationalism but in the beginning it can be a powerful mix.
Economically on the home front it is already very apparent Trump is convinced nationalism is the key to making America great again. Of course there is no making America great again or any other country for that matter. The only great countries in the future will be those who make changes in line with decline and destructive change. These will likely be smaller countries that have more maneuver room. Russia tops the list of countries that could be on the right Path. The US is so confused and globally integrated it will have a tough time making a break from globalism at some levels. I think the prosperous areas where the liberal establishment has so much strength in the wealthy coastal areas will not make this change well. The poor fly over interior will adapt better. They already have been marginalized.
The key to global decline is adaptive marginalization. Those areas that have already seen destructive social and economic trends have adapted to the new reality of decline. Trump’s economic nationalism will be destructive to the status quo because economic nationalism does not mix with globalism. It is like fire and ice. The trend of integration and growth does not mix with decentralization and manage growth. I call economic nationalism managed growth because what is occurring is the blunting to the trend of comparative advantage. Wages will matter less. Trump wants to cut regulation which is an animal he may not slay because of special interests, yet, deregulation in economic nationalism points to disruption to nations who have comparative advantage in environmental policy. What always occurs in economic nationalism is trade obstruction and tit for tat reactive trade policy. Global growth will suffer and the huge debt loads globally will become even more problematic. This will accelerate decline and that decline will force regionalism and in the direction to the all-important survival mode of localism.
These trends are very important for our survival in decline. They will not save us but they will force people into new arrangements that are more resilient and more sustainable by default. This default will be enforced by the reality of less affluence. If you are poor you adapt by whatever means to less. If you are rich you adapt by growing your wealth. These are diametrically opposed because one you have options the other you have the harsh reality of not having options only limits. Combining economic and geopolitical nationalism with a thawing of the neo-cold war and you have a recipe for profound change.
It does not really matter on some levels because a destructive process was in the cards. What does matter is these changes alluded to above may buy us some time. The other course was more conflict and more stuffing the pockets of the status quo elites in wealth transfer. This will not end but it will marginalize. This will be a different kind of wealth transfer of global “marginalism”. Instead of the quest for gold (growth) there will be the reality of water (self-interest). The meaning here is when thirsty gold is of little use.
The status quo was set for a violent end at both levels of global economics and the status quo of American interventionism. This new era could be a managed collapse period. Collapse is still part of the title. The management is not active collapse management it is adaptation to a destructive process by nationalism. Nationalism is by its nature trending towards regionalism and localism. This is the paradox of survival of nationalism over globalism. This is a new reality but one yet to be realized.

Agree with Greg (and Paul Craig Roberts), don’t judge Trump too early, give him at least a year. He is facing an uphill struggle, just like Putin had too.
But there is a very significant conclusion that can be drawn now, even before Trump will become president:
The American people crossed the political Rubicon.
Even if Trump would turn out to be fake and a tool of the oligarch US deep state (I don’t think he is)…
http://www.businessinsider.com/donald-trumps-ex-wife-once-said-he-kept-a-book-of-hitlers-speeches-by-his-bed-2015-8
… the European Americans showed their true colors and revolted against the globalist establishment. The deplorable revolution is permanent and they won’t go back to the old “Soros America” and won’t let themselves being sent like tin soldiers into a world war against Eurasia.
Trump said to his herd that “political correctness is over” and his public loved the message. Political correctness (essentially a kosher version of the Islamic Sharia [*]) is THE tool of the US deep state, carefully set up during decades of media/Hollywood programming to program their Americans into becoming bots that should bring them The World. On November 9, the deplorables politely declined to further volunteer for that job. Good for them (and the rest of the world, notably Europe).
That in itself, the attack against political correctness, is the best proof that Trump is for real and not a tool of the 1% oligarchs. Trump used his own oligarch status to break into the carefully closed US political system…
George Carlin: it is a big club and you ain’t in it.
… and told the Republican Jewish Committee that he didn’t need their money (essentially a second Declaration of Independence, this time not from the British but now from the Jews)
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/video/news/video-1234154/Trump-Repub-Jewish-Coalition-don-t-want-money.html
[*] political correctness (Kosher Sharia) content:
– all men are equal but some are more equal (Jews)
– white Americans suck, but not as bad as Europeans and don’t get us started on Germans. Americans can see themselves as “exceptional” as long as they obey to political correctness. Europeans are hopeless Natzis anyway and can’t be trusted. Exceptionalism however should not be confused with Chosenness. That’s a term reserved for the real virtuous.
– The noble savage is not a myth but reality. People of color are morally on a much higher level than whitey
– Holocaust happened, Nuremberg is the truth
– Slavery is a crime that can never be repaid, not even by trillions of development aid. If it wasn’t for slavery, the world would have long witnessed an African moon landing, honest.
– Men and women are equal and should perform exactly the same roles in life; anything else would be sexist and we are glad we are not like that. And yes that will lead to declining white birth rates, but hey, we can replenish shortages with third world immigration, so don’t worry you racist
– There is no worse crime than antisemitism; after all we have seen in Nazi-Germany where that lead to: gas chambers (as per Nuremberg). So it is maybe better that the Jews lead the West, just to prevent accidents like that from happening again. Oh and btw, the Soviets may have been it little rough at the edges but they were right to impose the death penalty on antisemitism.
– All sexual orientation is of equal value, you homophobe. So we should tell children at very early age that it is an open question what the child’s orientation is going to be. That may confuse the toddlers perhaps a little in the beginning, but in the end it will workout fine.
– Traditional gender roles need to be abolished. Boys should every now and then dress like girls and girls should receive traditional boys presents like toy guns and construction kits.
– Globalism is good, nationalism is hateful. The world is one big commune and we are all going to love each other. Nations need to be abolished and we need to be vigilant against all forms of hate
P.S. indeed, the world is praying for the end of American global hegemony and end this madness.

Last time there was any action in the Netherlands was when the canadians liberated it from those mommy raping Nazi’s.
I have explained several times that British colonial asset Canada never “liberated” us, but instead parked the independent nation of the Netherlands into the Anglo-Zionist empire. Thanks, but please don’t do it again. The Germans had never any intention of invading The Netherlands until the Dutch government gave in to British pressure to abandon neutrality and allow British and French troops overpass to attack the German Ruhr-area and industrial heart of Germany (French troops arrived in Zealand province, hours after the German invasion). It was a preemptive strike. Just Google for the NYT of May 10, 1940, to find the screaming headline “Nazis invade Holland”, but below on page 1 they gave the justification by German foreign minister von Ribbentrop, which was the correct one.
Furthermore the only ones who seriously raped were the Soviets (by the millions) but also the Americans, which is lesser well known:
http://www.focus.de/politik/deutschland/als-die-soldaten-kamen-nicht-nur-im-osten-das-tausendfache-leid-deutscher-frauen-nach-kriegsende_id_4508551.html
(860,000)
Germans never raped on a large scale (too disciplined people) and neither did the French or British (or, to be fair, the Canadians).
But thank God, this “liberation” (read: colonizing and next the attempted destruction of the Netherlands via mass migration, just like the US and Canada btw, which should give any thoughtful person cause to pause for a minute to ask who is actually running the US; hint: it ain’t whitey), this “liberation” will soon be over, Soviet-style, meaning after the implosion of the multi-racial colonizer USA (morphing from a melting pot into a exploding pressure cooker) as a consequence of living too long under the reign of leftist egalitarian ideals, which always ruins a country.
No future.
The world is a little bigger than Florida. The Dutch dikes are designed to handle 1 meter increase, beyond that fingering becomes pointless. This is how Netherlands could look like in a century:
http://www.brucop.com/millennium/nederlands/transgressions/hkaart.jpg
(I will be long gone by then, but my house in the SE would still be 17-1 = 16 m above sea level).
The only ones who will really be gone by that time will be the Canadians, they indeed have no future because they lack the will to resist. Here Canadian government anti-Trump propaganda with the aim to phase the Friday’s out of existence:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BnC56tmHh9Q
…and turn it into a useless $5k/year hip-hop cuntry. Mother Nature can be ruthless and doesn’t like losers. Where every country in Europe has strong “populist” parties, resisting mass migration and will soon get the upper hand and where the US even voted itself away from the logic of further self-destruction, I am not aware of any kind of serious resistance in Canada.
There was a reason why I called Friday… well Friday, the slave of Robinson Crusoe. Utter spineless depressed weak-willed climate neurotic, with a strong feminine urge to subject itself to people with a stronger will and who deep in her heart wants to be dead but lacks the courage to actually pull the plug on herself.

On the basis of decoding of intercepted messages between London and Paris on 6-7 April by the German secret service, the Germans had come to the conclusion that a Franco-British attack by hundreds of thousands of mobilized British and French troops roaming the French country side was immanent and they decided not to wait to receive the first blow and dealt it themselves, in line with international law, since it had been the British and French who had declared war against Germany on September 3, 1939 (not the other way around).

If you scroll down a little in the linked source you will see a Dutch newspaper headline from 1969, quoting the official #1 Jewish-Dutch historian of WW2, Lou de Jong, admitting that Holland “wasn’t that neutral” in the run up to WW2 and that there had been military contacts between the Dutch, French and British at the highest level. Lou de Jong wrote 24 thick tomes on orders of the Dutch government about the Dutch history of WW2, now all available on-line:

De Jong knew what he was talking about and, considering his background, not inclined to do the Germans any favor, not even in hindsight.
The Americans had what they wanted: a full scale war in Europe, the outcome of which only they could decide.
A war they had brought intentionally about by pressuring the British and French in the Polish War Guarantee and once that had succeeded all the Americans needed to do was encouraging the Poles that they could do what they wanted since the Americans, the British and French would come to their aid anyway. And the Poles believed this bald face lie and began to persecute the Germans living in Versailles Poland with the aim of ethnic cleansing, forcing the German government to intervene, which got them trapped into an undesired war with Britain and France. The very fact that after September 3, 1939 nothing happened for 8 months, is a clear indication that neither the Germans, nor the French and British had any appetite for the war. It was Winston Churchill, the American stooge, who ensured that the war would materialize by pushing for anti-German action in Norway in April 1940. The Germans now knew for certain that they could not escape war in the West.
For American government the challenge now was how to overcome the resistance of the American public who had no appetite to participate in the war whatsoever, in which they were supposed to do the dying part.
That opportunity offered itself when Japan joined the Axis. A few days later the Roosevelt advisory McCollum told his boss that this was the best way to get into the desired war with Germany, now that Japan and Germany were allies: impose a total boycott against Japan, accompanied with impossible demands to get the boycott lifted (give up on the entire Japanese empire in Asia). Everybody knew that the Japanese would try to get the oil elsewhere and that could only be the Dutch East Indies. And that by doing so they were obliged to eliminate the threat in the flank: the US fleet in Pearl Harbor.
In Holland it is a forbidden question to ask WHY the Germans invaded Holland.
In America it is a forbidden question to ask WHY a country with a 6 times smaller economy attacked giant USA.
There is a good reason for that, because Dutch and American officialdom don’t like the answers:
– The Dutch government because they would have to admit that they weren’t neutral at all and as such got what they deserved : the German occupation.
– The American government because it would expose that they intentionally had provoked the Japanese attack with the aim to get into war with Germany via the “Japanese backdoor”, which would enable them to end 5 centuries of European hegemony and advance to planetary pole position itself. The idea that “noble America had come to the aide of the beleaguered Europeans and liberate them from the evil Nazis”, sounds so much better.
From the reasoning above it is easy to understand the remarks make by British PM Chamberlain to Joseph Kennedy:

Game, set and match America and most of all its deep state.
And the age of American global hegemony began.

Old dutch your house ain’t the world either and unless you die soon, you ain’t seen nothing yet as far as migrants from across the Med goes. Egypt is ground zero for Sea Level Rise and crop land does not need to be permanently under water to be ruined by salt water intrusion. There are many more places getting hammered by sea level rise than Miami beach, it’s just that it’s the most amusing example of human stupidity to watch them keep building houses, condos and business that will be useless in a decade or so. Some days, potential buyer will actually have to drive through roads with a foot of water on them to go view the property. The middle east and north Africa are running out of water, energy – it’s turning to desert and like all animals they will natural migrate to the nearest pole. So get ready. Lucky for me they can’t cross the Atlantic on a make shift raft like they can cross the Med. All your stupid politics and nationalism and racism will come to naught – it’s meaningless. The humans are not in control and they can only make things worse and bring about their end faster.
Egypt’s Nile River Delta is sinking into the sea
It’s not bad luck hurting Egypt’s farmers—it’s the sea. It’s warming, rising and expanding onto the low-lying, delta lands and seeping into the water that feeds them.

It’s going to happen faster than most of the estimates. Just pay attention and you will see reports come in that faster than previously expected is happening.
