We are witnessing the collapse of the Empire that has ruled the world from DC since 1990, a collapse that will be faster than that of the USSR, and much more violent on both the civilians within the Empire and without. 1/
It is important to understand the mechanisms that brought down this Empire as we witness its collapse, if we want to predict what will come next. 1990 and the collapse of the USSR, planted the seeds of the collapse of the USA based Empire. 2/
With the collapse of the USSR, the jubilation in the White Supremacist based western order was fervent; they declared the End of History and the end of their need to mask any of their Supremacist fervour. 3/
This attitude meant the Empire rushed unchecked to claim the world by force, Somalia, Panama, Yugoslavia, Iraq, Afghanistan, Georgia, Ukraine, Libya, Yemen, Palestine, Syria, etc; all were invaded by the Empire. 4/
30 years of wars of conquest, of looting of whole nations, described as civilizing the less human Slavic, brown and black masses. 5/
The propaganda was so vulgar, so profane in its hate of the other, blasted on steroids by mass media, and echoed in some fashion by every western person no mater their political stripe. 6/
Were it not for Arab peoples resistance, illogical when consider odds & tragic costs, 30 years with +6 million Arabs sacrificed, with an absent Russia/China for most of this battle, up until 2015; the Empire’s armies would have been at the doors of Moscow and Beijing long ago. 7/
As the slaughter in Somalia, Palestine, Iraq, and Lebanon, pulled the Empire into an un-winnable Civilizational war against the Arab people, their Ancient Culture and pride; Russia and China were able to regroup... 8/
Venezuela and Latin America were able to escape the clutches of an Empire busy far away, and Iran built its military and industrial power while its rivals were busy killing their own peoples. 9/
As the Empire got desperate and rushed into Syria, Libya and Yemen, it made even more mistakes, and became much more violent; it exacted violence never seen since the days of mass genocide in the Americas and their conquest. 10/
Millions of Arabs bombarded to ashes, millions formed largest human migration wave in modern history, timeless human treasures that survived Mongol invasion looted & destroyed; to rewrite history, to fashion a human in its image; god-like they thought of themselves. 11/
You can find the seeds of the Empire’s collapse in the victories of Hizbullah against Apartheid Israel in 2000 and 2006, in the victories of the Palestinians in 2008 and 2014, in the martyrdom of every Palestinian man, woman and child. 12/
You can find those seeds in the victories of Syria against the Wahhabi Contras of the Empire; and in the victories of the barefoot Yemenis holding the Empire’s Saudi Hoards at bay. 13/
You can find the seeds of the Empire’s collapse in the bravery of the Venezuelans and the steadfastness of the Cubans; and you can smell it in the sacred ashes of the bodies of General Sulimani and Commander alMuhandis. 14/
you can visualize the collapse of the Empire as Iran bombed the Occupation bases in Iraq, and as its diesel tankers shattered the siege on Venezuela. 15/
All this looting, piracy & genocide for past 30 years, were not enough to maintain t heSupremacist life style of the west, not even looting the oil of Libya, Syria & Yemen, was enough to recover from the financial collapse of 2008. 16/
The Empire was so fragile, that when a pandemic hit this world; it began to cannibalize itself. They tell us 30 million US citizens are now unemployed; this number doesn’t include anyone who has been employed for more than a year. 17/
In reality, if you count all those who are homeless, all those languishing in jails, all those unemployed for more than a year, all those undocumented; more than 100 million are out of work in the USA. 18/
If you look at the demonstration that ignited after the murder of George Floyd, you see a different crowd than you saw during the Black Lives Matter uprising; a much more diverse one. 19/
This is because the masses of unemployed have been watching for months, how Armed White Supremacists can march into state capitals unobstructed, while black and brown people get attacked by the police for not following social distancing guides..20/
They saw how the poor and elderly are dying in the tens of thousands from a Pandemic with no aid in sight. 21/
Tonight, the Empire is on fire, but it will not go down in a whimper, it will go down in a bang; it will lash out at all its undesirables, and all the nations of this globe. 22/
The Empire that is deploying its army on its own people rather than uplift them from poverty; will lash out on the world, on Arabs, Latinos, Africans, Slavs, and Chines, rather than share the wealth and accept a common humanity. 23/23
