The Decline Of The US Empire & The Rising Star Of Mexico

I’ve written extensively and in depth, for decades, in two published books and over a thousand published articles, with tens of thousands of references, on the rapidly shifting state of the world, the causes and major factors and historical unfolding of these changes, what it all means and entails, and what we must do about it. The following brief set of thoughts is the most concise possible summary of just one facet of these great, global tectonic shifts, which are now underway and accelerating fast. That is: a few brief, pithy thoughts on Mexico, the rising star of Latin America, in comparison with the declining and collapsing US empire and broader Western world.

Of course, no one should take my words as unquestionable gospel truth – nor take anyone’s word on anything: examine things for yourself; question everything. Think for yourself. These words should spark fresh thought, and begin a quest for truth and understanding, or galvanize and reaffirm such a quest. Provocative statements should spark thought and further the quest for truth, not curtail it. Let us bear that in mind always.

Amidst the US and Western media making its usual suspect and dubious pronouncements of “facts”, almost all of which are sheer propaganda, the actual facts, the truth, will sound shocking to some people. That is to be expected. The Western media is owned and controlled by the same oligarchy that seeks a consistent agenda around the world: divide, demoralize, disempower, dispirit, distract, loot, pillage and subjugate the people, by means of both propaganda and force, in order to further consolidate, protect and expand the power and wealth of the richest 1%. Of course the major media presents a make-believe image of the world, in order to camouflage the criminal actions of the elite, while deceiving the people into supporting, or at least docilely acquiescing to, the same criminal actions of the ruling oligarchy. How could we expect anything else of them?

The rising star of Mexico – and the declining, now collapsing, US empire and broader Western world: in a nutshell – a thesis to be corroborated or disproved, not simply skoffed away because it does not fit comfortably with our comforting delusions:

The reality is that Mexico, with the leadership of its new president, AMLO, is far more democratic, far more free, and far less corrupt, than the US, Canada, Britain or Europe. The corporate-state media won’t tell you that, of course, because they are deeply corrupt, functioning as a propaganda system for the ruling corporate oligarchy. If this is surprising to anyone, it means you need to read more, question more, and turn off the mainstream media. Now.

Question more. Assume less.

Global Tectonic Shift: The Rise Of China & The Collapse Of The West

To more deeply understand China’s rise, and the decline of the West, see my essay, The Failure Of Propaganda & The Resort To Fascism, which traces the history of the last 60 years. But I will summarize this global tectonic shift, or major parts of it, here. Hold onto your hats. The world is being turned upside down.

Essentially, the Western power elite, namely the business elite, always despised democracy (see Chomsky’s, Necessary Illusions), and despised competition, and sought oligarchy, monopolies and empire; thus, they despised FDR’s New Deal compromise between the 1% and the 99%, and ached to roll it back and obliterate it, prefering fascism, in fact (see my essay, Smedley Butler & The Business Plot). When an outbreak of democracy occurred in the 1960s, that was the red line crossed, in the minds of the ruling Western business elite. It was bad enough to share a bit of the wealth – but sharing the power was out of the question.

The Pentagon Papers, the Powell Memorandum, Tragedy & Hope, Between Two Ages, and The Crisis Of Democracy, spelled out the reaction and the plans of the Western power elite, in response to the threat of democracy. The plan was to gut the Western middle class and labour movement in order to crush Western democracy and popular power, by de-industrialization, offshoring manufacturing to China and other low wage countries, leaving the people of the West crippled and weak, unable to resist the globalist, neo-feudal, techno-fascist rule of the Western corporate elite. This is why Rockefeller sent his henchman, Kissinger, to open up China in the 1970s, and why trillions of dollars of capital was moved from the West into China over the past 50 years.

Qui bono? Who benefitted from that grand plan? The Western oligarchy became stratospherically rich and powerful, while the Western nations were driven into becoming the new Third World, under the bootheel of a globalist, neo-feudal, techno-fascism. And CCP China is their business partner, despite the very real rivalry between the two biggest organized crime syndicates in history: the WEF and the Western imperial corporate-fascist syndicate; and its business partner and totalitarian mirror image in CCP China.

Clearly, we must now find a better way. See my books and other writings, including, Enlightened Democracy, The People vs The Elite, Sinking All Ships, Importing From China, The Failure Of Propaganda, The Worst Of Both Worlds, Flash Drive Revolution, The Collapse Of The West, and Slavery & Rebirth (coming soon), for a clear vision of what that is.

Hint: It does not involved fascism or totalitarianism, but places sovereignty, multi-polarity and freedom at its core. That is the only road to a future that is something other than dystopian. That is the road to a better world for all.

Excellent video here, linked below, by a brilliant analyst – but it is still superficial in its analysis. My essay above was my response directly to him, on YouTube, and to the world.
Basically you now have sino-phobes and sino-philes, and no truly intelligent commentary that avoids the twin mirages. Until now. Read my essay above. It’s pithy and it’s brief – and it crystalizes everything.

The Big Picture: Markers Of The Global Tectonic Shift, Now Underway

Or,

The Big Picture:

Economic Strength vs Economic Insolvency:

US, Canada and Uruguay compared

Uruguayan national debt in 2023:
$40 billion USD
(52% of GDP)

Canadian national debt in 2023:
$1.4 trillion USD
Or
$1,400 billion USD

US national debt in 2023:
Roughly $30 trillion
Or
$30,000 billion
(Not including corporate and household debt, which brings the total to over $80 trillion)

Guess which countries are sinking ships.

Guess which country is called “the Switzerland of South America”.

The world, over the past 50 years, has turned upside down. North America, Britain and Europe are sinking. You can blame neoliberal globalization, deindustrialization and massive systemic corruption, aka, mass looting by the richest 1%, for that. Meanwhile, Latin America, the Global South and East, are rising fast.

The Titanic is going down. El Norte, the Global North, or (former) First World, the 500 year old empire of the North-West corner of the world, based in North America, Britain and Europe, is beginning to collapse. The Global Tectonic Shift is underway. Consider your options well.

BLOWBACK – And Collapse

JFK, MLK, The CIA – And The Collapse Of The West

Yes, the evidence is clear: the CIA killed JFK, RFK, MLK, and Malcolm X. They are the goons of the corporate-state oligarchy. What did you think they do? Defend freedom and democracy? Were you born yesterday? (Read, Killing Hope, Class Warfare, Necessary Illusions, Year 501, The Shock Doctrine, and The CIA’s Greatest Hits.) Of course they’re a goon squad.

Read Blowback: America’s Secret Recruitment of Nazis. The SS, the Gestapo, the CIA… same shit, different pile. They’re hired thugs. That’s all they are.

Rare exceptions, are people like Ray McGovern – an intell agent with actual intelligence, a brain, a heart, a spine, and integrity. For the rest, the more fitting name would be something like, the Central Ineptitude Agency – or the BTI… Brainless Thugs Incorporated.

Note also:

Did the CIA foresee the collapse of the Soviet Union? Nope. Central Ineptitude Agency. Did the major media, academics, talking head pundits, politicians, business “elite”, or pop culture gurus foresee the collapse of the Soviet Union? Nope. Only one person is on record as having predicted the collapse of the Soviet Empire. But it happened anyway.

Now, I am telling you, the Davos/WEF-based, Western corporate-state empire is collapsing, and it is taking down what has been called Western civilization, along with it.

Given that only five people predicted the global economic crisis of 2008 – and I was one of the five – you might want to take heed, when I say that something extremely big is fast approaching.

Or not. Your call. Be bug splatter if you choose to be.

Your choice. You have been warned.
