Global Research Referral Drive: Our Readers Are Our Lifeline
***
My book, Our Country Then and Now, traces US history from Native American prehistory through early European arrivals, through the pioneer phase of settlement, to the disasters of the 20th century until today, when our government is on the verge of taking us into World War III.
We had two centuries of Indian, white, and African-American indigenous development, not without serious conflict, prior to American independence in 1776. A lot of hardship, but a great deal of nobility, beauty, and heroism.
Starting with the Revolutionary War, we had a gradual takeover by globalist finance, using fractional reserve banking and usury as their chief instruments of power. Around 1900, the British Empire and the US money power began to merge, with the Morgan/Rockefeller interests taking control of the US through the Federal Reserve Act of 1913.
This merger between British and American power started and carried out World Wars I and II for world control and is now trying to complete the project via WW III which is now starting. The action arm of lawless and futile US imperialism is the “Neocons.”
Put succinctly, the “Collective West” is run by money-grubbing lunatics, who also happen to be genocidal maniacs towards their own population. One of their projects is the Covid pandemic, with more to come with the 2024 WHO “treaty.”
My belief is that they cannot defeat the combined nations of Eurasia and the Global South. But a stalemate would allow the US to assume its proper role as one important nation among many others, not the world hegemon. The US does not have to pretend to be an “exceptional” or “indispensable” nation, nor does it have to climb to the top of the international heap by demonizing or hating others.
We should be friends and collaborators with Russia, China, and Iran, not enemies.
On the 2024 presidential election, if, of course, we have an election and the Biden administration doesn’t cancel it, from one standpoint we have a very old and fundamental rivalry between the “internationalist” Democratic Party run by Big Finance vs. the nationalistic Republicans who have found themselves a spokesman in Donald Trump. There is also a lot of support for Trump among the working level of the national security establishment. One figure often mentioned for a cabinet post is Col. Douglas MacGregor, who is a hero among conservative voters.
The most important issue Trump is riding on is the Biden administration’s open border policy that has allowed the entry into the US of millions of illegal immigrants. The state of Texas in particular has taken a strong stand against this.
The internationalists, heavily Zionist, and strongly behind the Ukraine war, control the Democratic Party and the top echelons of the US Deep State, which has been running a slow-motion assassination attempt against Trump and seems to be doing the same against Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.
RFK Jr. has little real platform except his family name and record as an environmental attorney but has progressive creds and could take enough votes from Biden to swing the election. Sinking Biden would constitute potent revenge against the Deep State and its endless machinations.
The only candidate that could make a difference in policy is Jill Stein, the Green, whose platform includes peace in the world and monetary reform, the two issues that really matter. Obviously she has no chance to become president.
Once Biden, or whoever they substitute for him, is elected, we would likely see the nuclear WW III that is in the works, since it’s the only way the Anglo-American-Zionist Empire could defeat Russia-China-Iran/BRICS+, etc. It was Democratic President Harry Truman that nuked Japan.
One way to put it is that the Democratic Party, along with similarly aligned parties in other Western nations and Israel, is controlled by a malign destructive force determined to kill or enslave most of humanity, reducing the planet to a totalitarian anthill. This destructive force is spearheaded by the strongly pro-Israel Neocon faction, the ones who brought us 9/11 and the ongoing regime of endless war.
In my opinion, the only answer to these dilemmas is spiritual, and that involves the revival of humanity’s traditional religions. This does not mean creating state religions. It means people acquiring a spiritual center that guides their personal, family, and public lives, that awakens their conscience. It means living by the law of love, not hate.
The key is reform of the monetary system—essentially nationalization of the Federal Reserve and the elimination of fractional reserve lending and usury.
