The Last Swing of a Dying Empire

 

By: Stewart Brennan

Although many already seem to know that a financial collapse is imminent, some may not know or see the whole picture due to the dystopian hysteria and blinding lies emanating from the wall of western mediums, governments and think tanks; a sickening noise with its roots in the lunatic asylums of the United States government.

To give a brief overview as to what the driving force of economic destruction is in the world as opposed to the insanity being echoed by our pathetic governments and mainstream media, (Tucker Carlson of FOX news seemingly being the exception), I will sum it up with a few brief points.

1. US Economic Growth & Consolidation
2. US Energy Demand
3. US Dollar Expansion
4. US Military Growth
5. US Corporate & Military Government
6. US Empire (800+ Military Bases)
7. US Wars, Coups and Sanctions
8. US Global Economic Dictatorship
9. US Economic Wars Against Powerful Nations
10. US Global Power Decline
11. US Unpayable Debt
12. US Empire Collapse and / or Global War

Ukraine

Right now, as most informed people know, Ukraine is the battlefield being used in a proxy war between US led NATO and Russia. A war in which Russia is going to win.

I know, I know, your government and news reports say that Russia is losing and that a united NATO helping Ukraine will certainly beat Russia. However, if one is bold and adventurous enough to look for the censored alternative sources that are not affiliated with the western propaganda mediums, then an entirely different picture unfolds which shows a completely different story. (For alternatives to the noise, See Global Research [01] Consortium News [02] Mint Press News [03] New Eastern Outlook [04] and Off Guardian [05])

Further investigation through the many interviews of the Ukrainian people affected by the US proxy war conducted by investigative reporters ON THE GROUND in the Donbas region of Ukraine / Russia also tells a different story than western mainstream news. (See Patrick Lancaster [06] Alina Lipp [07] and Eva Bartlett [08]) And so the alternative circles that discuss these topics from a position of greater knowledge, offer a more rounded view on which to form your opinions. (See The Duran [09], The Saker [10] Southfront [11] and 21st Century Wire [12])

Without a clear uncensored picture, no one can truly make a sound decision unless presented with all the facts, right? Unless of course you’ve done a 360-degree research and dared to read and listen to what the west is censoring. Common sense and critical thinking can then connect the dots to a realistic picture which is much more palatable to what mainstream medias are reporting.

The United States and NATO, an organization filled with European vassal states controlled and occupied by the American economic system, who are driving a massive sanctions war on Russia, are currently in meltdown mode in the knowledge that they are losing the war in Ukraine.

The U.S. led energy sanctions war that NATO countries are driving on Russia has backfired on them bigtime, and so the economic destruction of Europe is now underway as the US has forced all EU and NATO nations to impose sanctions on Russia or face economic consequences.

As the world falls into economic collapse due to the massive disruption in economic supply lines that the energy sanctions cause, Europe leads the way as there is no replacement for Russian Gas and oil, the energy which powers economics.

The destruction of the Nord Stream one and two gas pipelines from Russia to Germany by the west was a terrorist attack and the US government's exclamation point to Germany and to anyone else in Europe that dares to defy the American economic policy.

Germany was once the economic powerhouse of Europe, but not anymore as their economy is now heading for total collapse without a cheap supply of gas and oil.

Occupied Germany

Since the end of World War II, the United States has occupied Germany and never left. In doing so, the U.S. Government has had the final say on every geo-political and geo-economic trend in the country. I suppose it would be considered foolish or unwise for an occupied country to think about any type of independence, especially when tens of thousands of U.S. soldiers occupy their nation. But then, Germany seemed to have its own independent economic decision making, which made it the power-horse of the European Union…that is until the US government disapproved of Germany’s growing energy and economic ties with Russia.

What little independence that German business leaders made over the past few decades has been destroyed by U.S. policy. Today, destruction of the German economy is almost complete due to the sanctions on Russia that Joe Biden said that the Americans “Insisted” [13] their European vassals implement on Russia. No doubt there were a few threats to occupied Germany and then came the destruction of the Nord Stream one and two pipelines which Biden promised would be destroyed [14] during a press conference with the German chancellor Olaf Scholz in Washington on Feb 07th, 2022.

Where has U.S. occupation brought Germany today? There is a massive contraction in their economic viability which means they will most likely be consumed into the American maw of economic consolidation and dictatorship with no way out but a popular revolution from the German people.

The same situation is playing out right across Europe as the US drags the entire block of nations down with them into the economic abyss and possible war with Russia.

The Energy Shift

Russia is the largest energy producer in the world so forcing Europe and the world to not buy Russian energy creates upheaval throughout the global economy. Nations are faced with an economic ultimatum; [A] economic disaster if they follow the American government dictates due to loss of energy streams to feed their economies or [B] economic sanctions by the United States government if they do not obey.

Those who obey are given a front row seat on the American road to collapse as the high cost of energy and soaring inflation go hand in hand with soaring U.S. dictatorship and debt.

Although in the past, refusing an American government dictate would prove perilous due to U.S. military dominance, it is not the case today, as many nations are seeing an alternative option for economic viability and protection as Russia and China stand up against U.S. global economic dictatorship. Russia and China are not only standing up against the Americans, they are much stronger together. The Russians are much more advanced and years ahead of the Americans in the military sphere, while China has become the anvil of industry with advanced technology, telecommunications, and business sense.

Russia’s SARMAT ICBM’s, their hypersonic missiles, and S-500 missile defense systems are far superior than the older outdated American weapons, while the Chinese have emerged as an advanced technological nation that has checkmated the US economic model of parasitism.

Seeing this new option, nations around the world have made their decisions to survive economically and defy US sanction dictates on Russian energy, with the exception of Europe, the U.K. and the commonwealth of nations it seems, who’ve decided that riding on the American road to collapse would be great fun.

In essence, the world is no longer a unipolar American World Order but a multipolar world where two economic spheres are now present. {A} The US and all its NATO vassal’s trading in U.S. dollars, and {B} the rapidly growing B.R.I.C.S. sphere (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa) that has a number of new applicants already trading with each other in their own currencies.

Now that Saudi Arabia is going to sell its oil to China in China’s own currency [15] instead of U.S. dollars, the momentum of excluding the U.S. dollar in business transactions between nations is quickly expanding. Panic is unfolding, as the NATO nations under the US economic yoke have been trying to drum up more weapons for Ukraine during the 2023 World Economic Forum Meeting in Davos Switzerland. It seems that they believe that if they pull together and drive Russia to defeat in Ukraine, they will somehow solve their energy and economic problems.

There is no doubt that momentum in global economics, which relies on oil and gas energy, has shifted away from the U.S.A. and you can also be sure that the more wounded the U.S. government gets, the more vicious it will become.

Although the economic downturn with its soaring inflation and high cost of energy have begun to light the fires of rebellion across Europe, the European governments seem to be focused on winning a losing war in Ukraine rather than focusing on the well being of their own people. Three years of totalitarian mandates with a brutal enforcement of them should have convinced people in NATO countries that their governments really care for them…right?

The solution for the European leaders is actually quite simple, but they seem to be hypnotized into committing economic suicide with the United States and destroying their own nations, when all they need to do is to stop following U.S. dictates and look to their own economic survival. After all, Europe does not need the U.S. to supply them with oil and gas if they can forge their own foreign policy and make deals with the oil producing nations next door, such as Russia, Iran and the many other oil and gas producers in the region where more than 72% of the worlds recoverable oil is.

However, if the E.U. countries continue to obey American dictates, well, there won’t be any hope for economic relief anytime soon, if ever…and the longer they take to do the right thing, the more damage they will do to their own nations.

Soon, Russia will win the war in Ukraine while European borders will be flooded with additional economic refugees (already the case) which of course adds an additional burden to their already collapsing social programs, healthcare and economies.

What will the NATO nations do if the economically wounded American animal who controls NATO decides they will make their war in Ukraine against Russia their final military stand? Europe just gave away a bulk of their weapons to Ukraine and don’t have the ability to defend themselves…The panic and anxiety around this very question is now spreading amongst the most vocal antagonists [16].

The Undeclared Declaration of War on Russia by Western Windbags

(This Essay was Published and shared on Global Research)

By: Stewart Brennan

As the western proxy war with Russia in Ukraine begins turning in favor of the Donetsk & Lugansk Peoples Republics [01], the western cartel (i.e.; the U.S., E.U., U.K. & Commonwealth nations ++) are continuing to ramp up their war rhetoric and economic sanctions on Russia while sending vast amounts of military weapons to the Ukrainian military.

Meanwhile, every single government that continues to support the illegitimate evolved western backed coup government in Ukraine and their all-out sanctions war on Russia, now have bigger things to worry about which comes at the expense of their own economies as panic ensues regarding the fallout of their supply lines, food, energy, security, and runaway inflation that is gathering momentum while they blame Russia for their own short sightedness. (See Here [02], Here [03], Here [04], Here [05] and Here [06])

I suppose its easier to blame Russia than to shoulder the blame on themselves, considering that rising public discontent due to these economic realities will eventually come back to bite them in the a$$. And yes, the thought of economic uprisings throughout the European Union is not far from reality as we continue down the road of high energy costs and inflation.

The stark reality is, that those who govern us in the western nations are solely to blame for unleashing the proverbial four horsemen of the apocalypse in their belligerent quest to control global economics since the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991.

Now, in 2022, experts from around the world are sounding the alarm bells of economic disaster, famine, disease, war and widespread death while the same coalition of monsters, US, UK and EU wage a proxy war on Russia through Ukraine with no signs of ending anytime soon.

War on Russia and China

How far will the western pariahs go in bringing us closer to WWIII? 40 billion US dollars now approved and earmarked for Ukraine to wage war on Russia [07] is a huge step in that direction.

The USA and its European vassals have also continued their isolation of and economic war on Russia while the U.S. military continues to occupy Europe via NATO [08] with over 140,000 + troops spread out across the continent running joint military exercises on the Russian border.

Finland and Sweden who were once neutral countries have made formal applications to join NATO [09] causing another uptick in tensions between the west and Russia.

Although, two members of NATO (Turkey and Croatia) have publicly stated that they do not approve the Nordic states inclusion into NATO, (See Here [10] and Here [11]) it is believed that the Americans will eventually find some form of deviant compromise to get them to change their minds and approve Finland and Sweden’s inclusion into the NATO gang.

Every step the US & EU makes, brings us closer to war and economic collapse.

You can be sure the western economic cartel of nations led by the U.S. military won't lie down and accept the economic losses that they inflicted on themselves over the past 20 to 30 years in their resource and sanction wars. Collapse is now knocking in the USA, UK and Europe, hence, their current level of insanity and baited plans that continue against economically independent oil producing nations like Russia, rather than accepting them as equals or even business partners.

Since the USA started the 2nd cold war in South Ossetia against Russia in 2008, almost everything that doesn't go the west's way is blamed on Russia...somehow the west has a "🤡 Pox" upon them as they begin losing ground in their battle of horse shoes and hand grenades...and NOW, those that handle U.S. President Joe Biden have given him the nod to threaten China by saying that Washington is willing to use military force to defend Taiwan [12] if the Chinese try to take Taiwan by force.

It appears that America’s agreement to China’s “one China policy” is mere rhetoric and does not apply as the Chinese may have believed. Is anyone surprised by Joe Biden recent declaration? I mean, was President Brandon prompted to say it, or was that his dementia speaking what was always unspoken? What do you think China’s response [13] will be? You can be sure they won’t sit on their hands as this subject makes them crazy, so a more rigid position against the global NATO powers will be forth coming.

I use the term “Global NATO powers” because the USA always speaks in gang talk. NATO is a “You fight me you fight my gang” kind of group and so we can expect more of this alignment against China and Russia going forward which includes the regional U.S. occupied powers of Japan and South Korea.

U.S. Threats and Vassal Echolalia, a Two Front War

Since the first cold war against the Soviet Union shortly after World War II, the U.S. superpower and leader of the “free World?”, has threatened weaker, non-aligned nations economically and militarily if they or their European vassal’s corporations, did not get what they wanted in terms of resource extraction, this is especially true when it comes to energy resources. All of which has been conveniently labeled throughout the years in their war-like press conferences as, “threats to THEIR Economic Interests”.

However, in 2022, the global American bully is no longer a leader of anything, with the exception of hubris and a gang of impoverished paper wind bags. The leaders of Germany, France, Britain, Poland, Norway, Canada and many others in the NATO circus are militarily small and depend solely on the American Military to do their bidding. All of which has been extremely provocative to the levels of insanity.

After all, reading the same US teleprompter rhetoric as president Joe does, makes their nations threats towards nuclear powered Russia laughable but scary at the same time. The threat of war does not inspire confidence in paving a way back from the economic and long-term damage they are causing…

The term “impoverished paper windbags” applies especially to petty dictators like Canada’s Justin Trudeau who clearly demonstrated that he’s lost his marbles when he turned on his own people with the war measures act during peaceful protests. A brutal action which is the stuff that dictators do to their own people. I mean seriously, is this how we, “Build back Better”?

But, Canada’s pip-squeak leader aside, Britain’s Boris Johnson certainly leads the contest as the hot air king of the century with his delusional perception that there is still a powerful British economic and military Empire intact to wage war on powerful nations that don’t comply with British government dictates. That delusion is already coming home to roost as Briton stares full-on economic hardship in the face. (See Here [14] and Here [15])

On this serious note, it’s important to say that if western governments with clowns like Boris Johnson and Joe Biden are not forced to come to their senses soon, the consequences for the people of our nations will be disastrous and will heap misery on endless generations to come, if indeed we are to survive that long.

The British, American’s and the NATO gang, are far behind the Russians in military technology, while China has also surpassed them all technologically. So why open a suicidal two-front war?

The NATO gang, with its incompetent U.S. leader, are famished economic skeletons that have dwindling support of their own people at home. People are growing more-angry and impatient with their governments by the day. Populations tend to get that way after having discovered that they’ve been lied to, have their freedoms taken away, and face a growing systemic totalitarian governance while their bankrupt economies plunge into the abyss of inflation and scarcity. History provides many great examples of what comes next.

Although we do live in the age of the Internet it is also the age of censorship and mass propaganda campaigns made to confuse people about what is really going on. However, poverty always has a way of opening eyes…

The rapid decline of the U.S. global hegemon is on an economic and military war footing around the world with the global population caught in the middle. Poverty, the high cost of Energy and runaway inflation are now rearing their heads everywhere and so the prospect of military conflict looms as the ongoing economic war with Russia and China continues on two fronts [16]. War is no longer just a possible distant threat, it’s already here as the economic wars on both China and Russia have shown. How far will the western pariahs go?

If depopulation is the objective as United Nations agenda 2030 states, then we are at the cusp of that depopulation right now with one long winter away from a major die-off as the web of poverty that follows economic collapse will be enough to achieve their goals.

It should be abundantly clear that the disease obsessed, windbag politicians of the west have made everyone pay for their insane decisions, the consequences of which are still unfolding.

How much longer will we allow their insanity to continue?
