Zbigniew Brzezinski: The Decline Of The US And The End Of The American EmpireBrandon Turbeville Riddled with massive unemployment, an overextended military, entrenched police state, crumbling infrastructure, and the ever-present threat to the US dollar, it is clear that the United States is merely the shell of its former self. Indeed, in 2014, the concept of long-term American primacy is only a fantasy maintained by the mainstream media with its constant repetition of meaningless and absurd notions of recoveries, humanitarian interventions, and national security. More credible researchers, however, are well aware of the fact that the United States, as an empire as well as a nation, is headed the way of every empire before it. There is little doubt that the United States will soon run out of steam in its march across the world and a crackdown at home while reckless economic policy continues to be dictated from the halls of Wall Street. Yet the decline of the United States is not simply the result of a few years of stupid mistakes made by the ruling class. The truth is that the end of America is nothing more than a waypoint in a script that was written long ago. In order to gain a deeper grasp of the level to which the fall of the United States is a scripted development, it is worth consulting the work of Zbigniew Brzezinski, the infamous geopolitical strategist, architect of al-Qaeda, former US government official, and current advisor to Barack Obama.[1] Particularly, it is important to consult Brzezinskis book, The Grand Chessboard: American Primacy And Its Geostrategic Imperatives. It should be remembered that it was in this very book that Brzezinski uttered the famous statement that America is too democratic at home to be autocratic abroad. This limits the use of Americas power, especially its capacity for military intimidation. Never before has a populist democracy attained international supremacy. But the pursuit of power is not a goal that commands popular passion, except in conditions of a sudden threat or challenge to the publics sense of domestic well-being.[2] He went on to write that The book, written in 1997, seemed to lament the fact that the public would not support such blatant imperialism unless they truly viewed the crusade to be in their own immediate self-interest. Only four year later, the public would receive such a sudden threat or challenge to their sense of domestic well-being as well as that widely perceived direct external threat in the form of the 9/11 attacks. The ultimate decline of the United States, however, is dealt with in Brzezinskis concluding section of the book which it tellingly titled Beyond The Last Global Superpower. Here, Brzezinski opens with the announcement that, not only will American hegemony soon come to an end, but that there will never be another superpower to emerge as powerful as the United States is at the time of the writing of the book, in 1997. He writes, Keep in mind that the permeable nature of nation states that Brzezinski refers to is a result of the process of globalization of economies and the harmonization of laws worldwide as well as the globalization of culture. Also notice that Brzezinski states that the concentration of hegemonic power will not be concentrated in the hands of a single state not that concentrated hegemonic power will cease to exist. Indeed, such world power will simply move from the hands of a perceived national entity to those of an international and global institution. Describing American primacy as having only a relatively brief window of historical opportunity, Brzezinski states that the fall of the American empire will be due to both internal and external reasons namely, pessimism and addiction to entertainment at home and overextension abroad. As quoted above, Brzezinski begins his argument by discussing the lack of will to go to war held by the average American absent the existence of the perception of some serious threat to their safety or the security of the country. He writes, Brzezinski thus describes a society that loses its taste for war with other cultures as a result of increased diversity in the makeup of the American public and a lack of cohesion of what has been American culture since the beginning of the country. The fact that America has itself earned the label of the hostile totalitarianism that was once foisted onto a number of other countries and governments has finally become too overwhelmingly obvious to hide for many Americans. Brzezinski also identifies the fall of the Soviet Union and the end of the Cold War as a potential hindrance to the drive to fight and conquer across the globe. In other words, the lack of the perceived direct external threat results in the lack of desire for empire in the minds of the general public. After all, the average person does not desire war or the glory of empire but merely the ability to provide for themselves and live in some level of comfort.[6] Empire is the goal of psychopaths. Still, Brzezinski sees the lack of the presence of the Cold War as a potential excuse for the sacrifice of sovereignty under the guise of genuine international multilateralism and, of course, globalism and globalization. One can clearly see from reading the Grand Chessboard that this concept only alarms Brzezinski in terms of the possibility that the lack of will to expand the empire might come before America has been exhausted in the pursuit of it. Unfortunately for those who will be the cannon fodder for any overseas adventure, that perceived direct external threat was provided to them in the form of radical Muslim fundamentalist terrorism in 2001 and, in 2014, the reemergence of the Cold War propaganda between the United States, Russia, and to a lesser degree, China. In this regard, Brzezinski appears to avert the question of direct confrontation only to present the possibility in apocalyptic terms. He writes, Of course, by restraint of the privileged one must read restraint against attacking ones military equal. Restraint is by no means a word that could be used when referring to the policies of Western or developed nations toward undeveloped countries. Brzezinski continues by stating, Yet, while the prospect of general war and the employment of nuclear weapons clearly exists, another possibly even more dangerous threat to the American empire is the culture it has deliberately created for the benefit of the ruling class. While Brzezinski presents the American cultural crisis as a threat merely because its hedonism and self-absorption precludes a desire to fight foreign wars, his acknowledgement of the existence of this crisis is revealing in terms of how the American culture has been manipulated into that of egocentrism and entertainment addiction and a type that eschews sacrifice, cultural connection, and identity. Thus, Brzezinski writes, After decades of increasingly decadent, demoralizing, and dehumanizing entertainment, the deliberate dumbing down of each generation, and the intentional destruction of cohesive social and cultural structures, average Americans undoubtedly lack the ability to engage in undertakings that require intellectual commitment or group cohesion that reaches across racial, social, gender, or other divisions. The growing egocentric nature of American culture renders most people entirely incapable of the empathy needed to interact with others in a positive and productive manner. In addition, this type of culture negates the value of self-sacrifice required for the undertaking of a project for the common good, particularly if that project requires long-term planning and effort with the ultimate effects that may not be witnessed in the workers lifetime. While the lack of motivation to fight foreign wars on the behalf of the ruling class is something that should be encouraged and nurtured, the lack of motivation and desire to engage in any activity outside of oneself or the immediate benefits of such activity spells the death of any culture in short order. Such a culture breeds ignorance, apathy, lack of empathy, and cruelty as well as the destruction of the potential for human progress. The latter, however, is of no real consequence to the ruling class. Brzezinski also points out the pervasiveness of drugs in a culture that is already obsessed with immediate gratification and escapism. Compounded with the absurd War on Drugs which violates the rights of all Americans in immeasurable ways, the persistent spread of drug abuse continues to the point of rendering a significant portion of the American populace unemployable and entirely disconnected from the plight of the nation as a whole or simply incapable of taking effective action to change their own miserable situation. A culture of hedonism coupled with an economic depression and an entrenched police state has undoubtedly produced what Brzezinski deems a sense of historical anxiety and pessimism is the order of the day, at least among the more articulate sectors of Western society.[10] Brzezinski writes that this pessimism or lack of confidence has been intensified by widespread disappointment with the consequences of the end of the Cold War.[11] Instead of a new world order based on consensus and harmony, he writes, things which have seemed to belong to the past have all of a sudden become the future.[12] Brzezinskis things which have seemed to belong to the past is a reference to the writings of historian Hans Kohn, who defined those things which have seemed to belong to the past as fanatical faith, infallible leaders, slavery and massacres, the uprooting of whole populations, ruthlessness and barbarism.[13] Brzezinskis answer, of course, is to provide fleeting optimism to the American people in order to keep the empirical ship of state temporarily sailing.[14] Keep in mind, however, that Brzezinskis analysis does not provide for an indefinite American empire. The United States will lose its empire as well as what little internal wealth it has left. Thus, whatever optimism is provided to the public, rest assured it will be false and temporary.

ZB Even the Russians are a voice of reason, compared to American politicians/The Media?the average dope on the street. THAT pretty much tells the story. Our fate was sealed in 1913 when they started the Income Tax and Federal Reserve. As if that wasnt enough, along came FDR, who was the Obama of his day. Im really amazed that weve lasted this long- albeit patched together with baling wire and duct tape. Pleaselet it endor maybe the rest of the world will have had enough, and will intervene? Any way you slice it this monstrosity has to end! (Although, what will replace it, will likely be just as bad- people being what they are these days. Even Pitcairn Island- 1000s of miles from anywhere, and with only 50 inhabitants, is ruled by a large government. Unless people en-mass start valuing their freedom and adopt the views of libertarianism, we will never be free of empires and tyranny and wars. I certainly agree; according to Juri Linas book UNDER THE SIGN OF THE SCORPION, Jews orchestrated the French Revolution (over 600,000 dead) the Bolshevik Revolution (over 20 million dead) the two World Wars (over 50 dead). They also orchestrated the Communist takeover of China (over 60 million dead). Indeed, the Khazar Jews have quite a bloody record. All one has to do is read their Game Plan to realize what they have planned for America and the World . The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion http://www.biblebelievers.org.au/przion1.htm#Table of Contents time we learn from the past and take action and put a stop their activities! Gee Zbig, Im just one of whom you assume are the terminally entertained. but I thought it rather convenient you have negated the mention of the deliberate dilution, dispossession and replacement of traditional Euro-Americans with foreign national third worlders; brought in legally under labor and humanitarian/political/diplomatic refugee cover and through the pre-planned invasion of M. S.A. illegals from our southern border w/Mexico. One would think numbers of the people in the ten thousands projected by the FED would have a decidedly negative effect on Americans abilities or will to execute long range planning for their posterity, as they see diminished returns for any of their efforts. I think it rather disingenuous on your part. If Mexico is our largest trading partner, what the hell are We getting for all these bodies to feed/clothe/house? Yes!! That is correct 100%!! It is the ZIONIST and the Sabbateans.. Theyre bringing this country to ruin and destroying America!!! They run our Govt., the IRS the FED! They run EVERYTHING and are bringing the U.S. to ruins. This nation is in serious trouble It is quite amazing how history repeats itself over and over again without any real change in human nature. And, as Adolph Hitler pointed out so well in his statement: the most wonderful thing for governments is that people dont think, this continues to be the reality that those who master themselves will always be the master of those who do not. No educational system in history has ever undertaken to teach even such Erick Dean Tippett Attn: Brzezinski In your dreams, and in your hat. The prophetic record of the United States indicates that the U.S. will survive, The coming catastrophe in the U.S. is the the karmic payback for abortion on demand, sighned into law by Ronald Reagan in January, 1972. ZBB has been helping it happen for years. He wants the U.S. to collapse for the New World Order People. What a Bastard he is. His daughter is Mikka on Hie in the Morning on MSNBC. Get back to your research a minority of the Jews in the U.S. are are soulless psychopaths whose history derive from infiltration of jewry by psychopaths known as Khazars. Most jews are are from the ancient tribe of Juda Gods people. Most jews will refer to the Ashkenazi strain of the virus, which comprises 85% of those presently living in someone elses country. The sad thing about most of these comments is that they externalise the blame. It isnt Jews, the IRS, immigrants, atheists or any other identifiable minority that you can hunt down and lynch. Its YOU. All of you. You let it happen. BTs article spells it out in detail. Worse, you have allowed your oligarchs to export your misery, cruelty, dishonesty, and violence to the rest of the world. Remember In a democracy, everyone shares the blame. Well its a good thing we dont have to share this blame in our REPUBLIC. He knows dam well that the ruling class via U.N. will have there multicultural arming running around the U.S. The american Empire will be Destroyed yep with the one world order via U.N. standing Army! Sad! Excellent article! The Anglo-American Establishment by Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) historian Carroll Quigley provides documentation that it is the British Elite, not the Jews, who planned and controlled all wars, the amalgamation of Europe, collapsed economies and engineered the cultural takedown of first world countries, like the U.S. since at least the late 1800s. They (the internationalist elite) always use front groups to take the heat. The shadow government is actually The Royal Institute of International Affairs, also known as the CFR in non-British commonwealth countries. Alan Watt has been talking about this for years. http://cuttingthroughthematrix.com/ Zbigniew Brzezinski is a baby killer of the first waters. He is an international war criminal who should be tried and the quickly shot. This anti Jewish stuff is unbelievable. Go to Wikipedia look up The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion. You will find this is a hoax, taken directly from anti-Napolean and other texts and re-written as a frame up of Jews. The only people today who still take this book seriously are rabidly anti-Jews in the Muslim world. The Muslims presently are in the process of taking over all the Middle East by drivng out Christians who lived in Lebanon, Egypt, Iraq, etc. since before Mohammed was born. They are the Boko Haram cutthroats. They are the knife wielding Chinese terrorists slaughtering innocents, the London butcher, they have instituted brutal Shariah Law in England, and are working on taking over Belgium and Europe in general, and Obama is working to legitimize the brutal Muslim Brotherhood here by installing terrorist connected Muslims in government. Unbelievably this effort is getting help from the very people who should oppose religious fundamentalism, liberalism. The liberals would be the first to oppose concepts like death to people who convert out of Islam, death to homosexuals, cutting the throats of non-Muslims,(Mohammed says, in the Koran, smite the necks of the infidels, DO you believe that God (or Allah) would command such a thing? Its your soul, bud, take your choice. As for Zbig, my take on the USA is that the Monsanto- led assault on human health is going to be some heavy karma to be paid and we as a people will become so emasculated by BPA plastics, GMO obesity and stomach inflammation, trans fat heart disease, fluoride bone and teeth weakness, immunization- induced autism, that is why there is no will to be strong in the populace, but the whole world is becoming weakened by all this, and more, Brandon Turbeville: The Decline Of The US And The End Of The American Empire Brzezenski, like Hank Kissinger, are globalist fossils who havent had the common decency to drop dead for their rewards in hell and our opportunity to make a trip to urinate on their graves. I havent read much of this post because what I have read is fear porn garbage, regardless of the authors intention. BUCK UP AMERICA. There may be a rough ride for a short time but you ALL OF US are on the brink of the greatest transformation in human history. Yes we are all to blame for what is you can bet your life it is because of our responsibility for the mess we have had to experience the horrors going on right now. If we didnt we would be right back under the same leaders doing same things again. These guys are going down they know it. The The decline seriously started after 9/11 when instead of a serious examination of why it happened a simplistic reason was given they hate us for our freedoms. The propping up of a corrupt Saudi regime was never even discussed and instead we have externalized our decline and turned the nation into the surveillance state of today. The rest, as they say, will be history.
