Being old now, I don\u2019t know if I\u2019ll live to see the outcome of the great experiment that our oligarchy is currently embarking upon.\u00a0 What this experiment is I\u2019m not completely sure of.\u00a0 I can see the actions being taken and make some assumptions about what is planned, but much is still speculation.\u00a0 Let\u2019s review.<\/p>\n
The industrial basis for our modern economy has been almost completely moved to Asia.\u00a0 High skill manufacture is located in Japan, South Korea and China and the low skill assembly is farmed out to Thailand, Vietnam and other backwaters.<\/p>\n
The use of fossil fuels is being curtailed in the United States, Canada and Europe.\u00a0 This will have the effect of impoverishing the majority of the former middle class and their descendants.\u00a0 And the knock-on effect of this is the discouraging of these young people from marrying and having children.<\/p>\n
At the same time the United States, Canada and Europe are being flooded with migrants from Latin America, Sub-Saharan Africa, various parts of Asia and the Middle East.\u00a0 These migrants have the effect of further depressing the economic opportunities of the younger American and European citizens while at the same time plunging the whole of these areas in a chaotic environment that further discourages stability and political action by the supposed sovereign citizens.<\/p>\n
So, what is this experiment?\u00a0 Apparently, the oligarchs find representative democracy, at least one that doesn\u2019t accord with their dictates as inconvenient.\u00a0 So, what they are doing is reshuffling the deck.\u00a0 If those pesky Europeans and European descendants have gotten demanding (things like a living wage and a middle-class existence for their children) why then let\u2019s just find some people whose expectations only include a tin shack and a dollop of beans.\u00a0 After all, if the Chinese can get the Uyghurs to assemble smart phones while they\u2019re being genocided in the camps then surely, we can expect Guatemalans to pick fruit and work in an Amazon warehouse for practically nothing.<\/p>\n
Ultimately, these supermen see the whole world and all the people in it as their tools.\u00a0 They decide what the world will look like and even who gets to live in it.<\/p>\n
But for this to continue to work, the Global American Empire has to be able to control basically the whole world.\u00a0 Asia has to continue to make our tech equipment and America has to run things without producing anything except Artificial Intelligence and high-end war equipment.<\/p>\n
But is this a stable system?\u00a0 That\u2019s the part that will take time to discover.\u00a0 Already there appear to be some parts of the machine that are coming loose.\u00a0 The extension of the European sector into Russia and its satellites has turned into a land war that has the earmarks of a catastrophe for the West.\u00a0 If Russia overwhelms Ukraine, then the much-vaunted NATO alliance will have failed at its primary task of keeping Russia in check.<\/p>\n
On the other side of Asia China is preparing to call America\u2019s bluff over Taiwan.\u00a0 That is a much more serious threat.\u00a0 Such a move would cause a panic in South Korea and Japan and alter the way things are looked at throughout East Asia.<\/p>\n
And even in a nothing place like Niger in Africa, the dominant role of the West is in retreat.\u00a0 Warlords are kicking over the West\u2019s puppets and telling the United States and France to take their troops out.<\/p>\n
Now which way all this will go is completely unknown.\u00a0 Maybe our oligarchs are playing ten-dimensional chess and they\u2019ve already looked fifty moves ahead and know to a certainty how all of this global pinball game settles out.\u00a0 Maybe the much-vaunted AI has run the simulation ten trillion times and every time the result shows the masters of the universe winning the game and the peons being crushed down to dust.<\/p>\n
That\u2019s what I\u2019d love to know the answer to.\u00a0 Do they know something we don\u2019t or are they guessing?\u00a0 My hunch is they\u2019re winging it.\u00a0 The face of the oligarchs is Joe Biden.\u00a0 That\u2019s not the face you get from a directorate of super geniuses.\u00a0 That\u2019s the face you end up with from a bureaucracy of hacks, crooks and hucksters and a shoddy one at that.<\/p>\n
So maybe this regime will last long enough to outlive me.\u00a0 But I\u2019m holding out hope that the awful people running things aren\u2019t as smart as they or even we think they are.\u00a0 They\u2019re just more ruthless than we are.\u00a0 In which case they won\u2019t have things all their way.\u00a0 The global empire will end up as all empires do; in the dustbin of history.\u00a0 I just hope to see it and get the last laugh.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
