In order to understand why, the nature of imperialism, and thus of all empires, needs first to be explained (especially because almost no one knows about this):
Whereas a merely domestic dictatorship is no danger to other nations, an international dictatorship — or “empire” — is a danger to other nations, because every empire (i.e., each of the individuals who actually control it) craves to increase or expand its (their) control, and because this imperialistic craving is or ought to be part of the very definition of “empire” because every empire is built in that way (insatiable desire for growth), and also because any empire is heading for extinction to the extent that it quits this aspiration and abandons any area that it formerly did control. The difference between the regime of Franco in Spain, and the regime of Hitler in Germany, that necessitated a World War (specifically WW II) in order for other nations to protect themselves from Hitler’s fascism but not from Franco’s fascism, was precisely that Hitler’s was imperialistic and Franco’s was not. If Hitler and Hirohito and Mussolini had not been imperialistic, then there would have been no WW II. (The public in every nation were opposed to entering war against the imperialistic fascists but ultimately only the most rigid fools could any longer deny that the only alternative to war against the imperialistic fascists would be surrender to them — and so there was WW II. Isolationism and preaching ‘peace’ in the face of imperialists is short-sighted foolishness. That foolishness ends by being invaded: by means of subversion, sanctions, coup, and/or military action.) There can be no peace with an empire, unless it’s an expired one. Empires are the very engines of war, and of nearly constant war.
Starting from 25 July 1945, America became imperialistic — adopted, in fact, the goal of taking control over the entire world — when its new President, Harry S. Truman, decided to accept the advice from his hero, General Dwight Eisenhower (supported by the British imperialist Winston Churchill) for the United States to become not only an empire but the ONLY empire (which Churchill’s nation UK, would, Churchill hoped, secretly control behind-the-scenes) and take over the entire world, but especially win the Soviet Union — and so the “Cold War” that was to be (so the fool Truman was led to believe) ‘between communism=dictatorship versus capitalism=democracy’ started and then became permanently installed by Truman’s immediate successor, President Eisenhower. Those two Presidents actually created the military-industrial complex (MIC) or the U.S. Government that would become controlled by the largest corporations (such as Lockheed) whose main or entire market would be the U.S. Government and its vassal-nations or ‘allies’ (such as Germany, Japan, South Korea, and the entirety of the former British Empire), which would be the customer-Governments for those U.S.-and-allied, or imperial, weapons-manufacturers. And, when the biggest weapons-manufacturers control the Government, rather than the Government controlling the biggest weapons-manufacturers, that isn’t merely capitalism, but it is dictatorial capitalism: it is “fascism.” In fact: it is imperialistic fascism — the most dangerous type of Government that exists in the modern era.
What Churchill in 1946 dubbed “the Special Relationship” (the umbilical cord connecting the U.S. to the UK) had actually been invented by the British magnate Cecil Rhodes, privately, in 1877, before it was institutionalized by Rhodes in his will upon his death in 1902. One of his friends and followers was the then-young Winston Churchill.
The 1911 book Cecil Rhodes: His Private Life, says of Rhodes (p. 256), “He was very much entertained by Mr. Churchill’s ready wit and clever conversation, and he listened intently to his views on the political questions of the day. He admired his intellectual powers, which, in conjunction with his dash and ‘go,’ he said must inevitably bring him to front.”
Whatever else might be said of Rhodes, he was both extraordinarily prophetic and extraordinarily effective. (Likewise so, is Rhodes’s follower in the present day, George Soros, who cites the philosopher Karl Popper but acts like, and channels, instead, Cecil Rhodes.) However, now, after Rhodes’s operation’s enormous success, starting on 25 July 1945, it is taking desperate gambles to continue in control, which gambles are effective only in a short-term sense, because the sheer corruption within it is rotting it out so much as to be bringing it down. And that is what is happening. The UK/U.S. operation is now in its decline-phase and is responding the more desperately and destructively as that decline becomes evermore clear. Its arrogance is placing such pressure upon their vassal-nations as to be increasingly forcing a breaking-up of “The Western Alliance” — the (UK)/U.S.-and-allied countries. Yet, at the same time, the UK/U.S. alliance is doing all it can to bring some of its vassal-nations, such as Japan, South Korea, Finland, and Sweden, even more tightly into the fold. However, any success in that regard will come at a higher cost to the UK/U.S. empire than has been the case in the past. To most observers, the decline and fall of “The West” is now at least as apparent as what had been the case during the Roman embodiment; and if the UK/U.S. will persist now, the result will be even more catastrophic than what happened to the empires of Germany, Italy, and Japan from WW II. It will be even uglier than WW II.
On February 3rd, I headlined “RT: NATO Nations Start to Go Public About U.S. Government’s International Dictatorship” and remarked upon how amazing it was that on that date, both Turkiye and Hungary were publicly insulting the U.S. Government. Such boldness and independence from two of the current era’s lone remaining empire’s vassal-nations (or at least they had been, up till that point in time) is historically unprecedented. How the U.S. dictatorship will be able to continue to call itself a “democracy” after having been declared simultaneously by two of its vassal-nations to be instead an arrogantly bullying dictatorship, seems hard to fathom. Maybe it will even cause some other of the dictatorship’s vassal-nations, such as Japan, South Korea, Finland, and Sweden, to have second thoughts about drawing themselves even closer than they already are.
America’s Government is on the war-path and has been since 1945, in the name of ‘freedom, democracy, and human rights’ but lying all the way and now getting too close to the precipice of WW III. How many of its ‘allies’ will stay with it to that end?
There is sound reason why global polls show that America is the #1 country that is cited as posing the world’s biggest threat to peace. Global polls didn’t exist during World War II, but if they had, then America certainly wouldn’t have been viewed that way then; probably Nazi Germany would have been. And America has risen to take its place.
The U.S. Congressional Research Service’s list of U.S. invasions (including increases in existing invasions) lists and briefly describes 297 such invasions after WW II (i.e., during 1945-2022, a 77-year period), and is titled “Instances of Use of United States Armed Forces Abroad, 1798-2022”. That 297 U.S. invasions in the past 77 years is more than all of the instances put together during 1798-1945 — a 147-year period. And none of those 297 invasions was defensive. All were unConstitutional. Most of them were purely aggressions (some in order to help a foreign tyrant suppress his own population). America’s Founders had insisted there be no “standing army” in this nation. Until Truman established the ‘Defense’ Department and CIA in 1947, there wasn’t any. That created America’s military-industrial complex.
Anyway, Ukraine’s & Russia’s Defense Ministers agree (but NATO disagrees) that the war in Ukraine is between NATO & Russia, not between Ukraine & Russia; this is already WW III, and the only significant question about it now is whether it’s going to reach a final nuclear stage. This will depend upon how far Washington is willing to go in order to persist in the objective that Hitler had, to control ultimately the entire world. And the likelihood of its going all the way to global annihilation will considerably reduce if the U.S. empire soon starts to break up. Which could happen, starting soon.
Investigative historian Eric Zuesse’s new book, AMERICA’S EMPIRE OF EVIL: Hitler’s Posthumous Victory, and Why the Social Sciences Need to Change, is about how America took over the world after World War II in order to enslave it to U.S.-and-allied billionaires. Their cartels extract the world’s wealth by control of not only their ‘news’ media but the social ‘sciences’ — duping the public.
Because America’s evil masters are incompetent, crude, their “empire” is the shortest in History, the one that has had only defeats, a real record. About Eisenhower, a big idiot, Krushev once said “I am amazed that the Americans, such an intelligent people, let themselves be led by such a stupid one.”
He wasn’t so stupid, he did predict the dangers of the Deep State, namely the MIC.
On Jan. 17, 1961, President Dwight Eisenhower gave the nation a dire warning about what he described as a threat to democratic government. He called it the military-industrial complex, a formidable union of defence contractors and the armed forces.
JFK assassination marked a turning point on who really controls the US. After his death, Ex-President Harry Truman Called For CIA Abolition.
The Empire is completely out of control, I hope somebody, Russia or China, will put the genie back into the bottle and cast it into space.
At least for all their brutality the Romans had style,the American Reich is run by sordid gangsters.
It is true! The positive Romans were winners, the negative sordid gangsters are losers.
“Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower, as head of the American occupation of Germany in 1945, deliberately starved to death German prisoners of war in staggering numbers. Mr. Bacque charges that “the victims undoubtedly number over 800,000, almost certainly over 900,000 and quite likely over a million. Their deaths were knowingly caused by army officers who had sufficient resources to keep the prisoners alive.”
Eisenhower’s method, according to Mr. Bacque, was simple: he changed the designation of the prisoners from “Prisoners of War” (P.O.W.), required by the Geneva Convention to be fed the same rations as American G.I.’s, to “Disarmed Enemy Forces” (D.E.F.), which allowed him to cut their rations to starvation level. Mr. Bacque says the D.E.F. were also denied medical supplies and shelter. They died by the hundreds of thousands. Their deaths were covered up on Army records by listing them as “other losses” on charts showing weekly totals of prisoners on hand, numbers discharged and so forth. ”

All true! He was an idiot and criminal to the max. One with no soul, no feelings, no honor, a beast. He killed the Americans themselves with colossal casualties for secondary targets.
He was a swedish kike who hated Germans.
Very BY ASSED
All know the food situation was pretty bad.
You of course dont mention the Russians raped all the way to Berlin as well as they moved germans and poles to noy´thing. Many many more died by that.
Thsts no defence. But Your writing is partly correct but has to be compared to USA gave miions of tomns of food to USSR as well and fx Leningrad almost was starved away.
Good riddance…..throw it in the dumpster, light it on fire, and move on with your life
Remember fall of Karthago
Wasn’t Dwight Eisenhower responsible for one of the real holocausts of world war II?
Letting a million German prisoners die of starvation in open fields in France kinda tells you where this war criminal had his head most of the time. People like Dwight have no morals or remorse.
Science needs to get busy and figure some way to weed out these creeps before humans gain more lifespan.
Thats correct,at least those POWs should have been given the basics to stay alive.
While a student at West Point Military College, Eisenhower was called the “Swedish Jew” by the rest of the students.
What more needs to be said about that low IQ, self-chosen, psychotic war criminal?
No matter Your infection by using that nickname Eissenhower got 442 electers on 1952 and the opponent got 89.
Eisenhower won 39 states of 48 and by that got 34 mio votes against 27 mio.
You are typical finding a very inferior minority right wing speaker and make him and that speak for how Eisdenhower was in school as well as in work.
Most likely You are one of those only YandexSpandex Sputnik-Balal-Laika copycats – mijav mija bark bark.
No he wasnt moron. He had nothing to do with any prisoners. It was no part of his system apart fromsome transportation away from the frontzone.
No million prisoner died in west but it was hard times for many according food and healthcare. You seemes to ignore the nazis already had plundered alll ressources away.
So many died but it was not because of any american starvation but all thereand many soldeirs included already has a very bad health.
And You kind of forget the many prisoners the Germans had and their KZ camps as well.
Tpoy also forget the numbers of dead germans fx after Stalingrad, which are well descriebed.
Praise the Lord!!🙏
Right, right. People are earning more money. Industry and business are coming back to USA. New houses are getting bigger. Tesla and Lightning are 15% bigger than previous generation petrol cars… new computers are 100 times faster than i7 generation and only available in states… do you really think that is a sign o decline? large number of poor people without american passports working in US in your opinion constitute decline?
Great article,anyone who can’t see the reality of whats in this article doesn’t want to see it.
Ike was not stupid but very smart(and interestingly,human), watch his address to american people in 1960. on Youtube.
COmplex stuff there with Hitler and Franco. Hitler was a keen economist and belived in a Utopian National SOcialist socitey with heavily millitaried germany in the center. Franco Wasmore feudal and was fighting as the rear guard for a collapsed SPanish EMpire. They had lost CUba and the Phillipines to Freemasonic and AMerican backed revolution. Bolivar was like Napoloen and was made at the Lodge of Jamaica. A dangerous system Freemasonry when it attacks the old feudal preitshoods who served a social services role to cut off areas.
That shockwave of force hits when a Bourgeoises trading network is hijacke dinto an Empire. Trups Casino netowrk and rothschild ties are an example. He was going for an expansion into old asian states.
I’d say Hitler was a genius driven insane by the violence he saw growing up. Stalin never changed bu talways held the Soviet line.
. ALt J – Dead Crush AHiriman Scotland York…..
Hitler knew the SPanish flu was real. 5 percent of the population dead or crippled along with horrific encephelitus Lethargica epidemic. He knew what the Empires and hierarchy would sacrifice. Referred to as serum back then……not vaccines…..
Mr Sand Man – chordettes
Sachs Awakenings…..
YOu should look at their family backgorunds. RUmours Franco had his brother kille dfor betraying the SPanish Empire and being a moderate. Hitlers Nice went mad and shot herself in some accounts. Stalin let his son be captured and suggested he kill herself and was embarrassed by his dughters defection. Real world issues can effect psychology and dictatorial decision making a smuch as the purges. All men of violence. All correct in ways. The liberal west won’t learn in time because they ar eprotected by fake news.

YOu’ll understand why the massacres are inevitable when the Deep State andelite know they cna surivive. It has to get personal and people not willing to put their lives on the line to prove a point aren’t really fighting.

Federal AMerica is a mes sideologically. Its Hollywood and bizzare right wing mysticism. They are expeoritng something like Neo Liberalism with someview of the Golden age when they were practically socialist in the 50s. The EMpire is also paralyed by state latess IT. It’s a totally different fight. You could resist Coca Cola and Fanta or whatever and drink French WIne. Now the whole post human, post scarcity illusion is being exported with no recognition oog the OPEC choke hold after green energy failed. They don’t respect russia and china as true industrial powers and have no interest in Africa besides as elite colonies.
They are an EMpire of Lies and Madness…..The conflict is barely even a war just a series of commercials for the real chaos coming when they collapse.
“STARTING” To Fall Apart???…
Mi$$ed it by Thi$ Much https://ae911truth.org
boring predictable rhetorical boilerplate, eric really needs new material, he has an axe to grind with america that much is clear but the blade just keeps getting shorter lol today’s new empire is …glo-bal… corporatists who are buying up land internationally and in their future you will have a wireless tracking tag and a computerized credit account and history will be a forbidden subject…
Oh NO… S-F pull$ another one of mine regarding the beginning of America’s END actually starting in earnest after (3 buildings 2 planes) 9/11…
Roosevelt not Eisenhower or Trueman compromised America and manipulated it into war. The great mistake of the globalist was multi-nationalism where the wealth was stripped from the host countries by the elite until their economies became unsustainable and now their wealth is linked to the value of paper debt which will be eaten by inflation.The empire could have succeeded much longer without this and many other mistakes.
I agree.
Eisenhower was npo politician but a relative highly ranked military fx as hand for MacArthur in the Pacificis(Philipines).
I disagree in 95% of the rest.
As usual Your kind deny to understand Our world actually work and are doingpretty well compared to many others. No links are given for something better, because it don exist.
And You are incorrect using Empire. It became a look a like because Britts and French as the loosers of WW2 lost theirs.
Here You never mention the grabbing USSR all nthe way ro west of Berlin – Ukriane included. Thats an Empire. But it also just as the nazis has lost and by that is no more Empire. It has done it twice. USA is newer and has not.
Roosevelt another kike who changed his name. Are you beginning to see the pattern of Jewish supremacy over America.
And 2). You dont understand the rebuild named western Economics at all.
Does it work. Yes we do in livingstandards as well as living age.
You tell us we should be less clever by less schools, structures more ineffctive production and fewer people should decide more having some patent. made by themself – and to bow, obey and admire by Your kind as they have manipulated You to.
Abnd what are You? stoneage, bronzage, ironage and now for 100 years or more the “I deny to understand debt and learn no more about it”.
And its the same for Muhammed Economics. We also see the results.
What glues the USA together is money, propaganda and shadowy military operations.
Whichever political author you read, it seems the USA became imperialistic right after the author’s favorite president got replaced by the next one.
But in reality, the USA became imperialistic as soon as they started expanding westwards, with the Louisiana Purchase in 1803.
It’s alright, pseudo-Eric. You can sit down.
In no way the U.S.can be compared to the Roman Empire (see the picture) for many reasons. Most importantly, because of the insatiable and parasitic character of the former and its destructive impact on the existing civilisation.
Guess what minor religion controls the US empire?
Rusko musí vyhrať, musí poraziť fašistov v Kyjeve!!! Iná možnosť tu nie je.

As always, the burger nigger mutts swarm anyone that dares to unveil their retard empire as the sham it was, including mr.Zuesse. Their eternal seething against the Chinese, who are doing far more productive things to the world than their gangster empire of usury and oil stealing, is also a sight to behold
The rumours about America’s fall have been going on for a 100 years and will never happen. US is undefeated and a winner nation of winners and will win this little battle too…………………….LOL.
