The Real Enemy of the U.s. and the World Is the U.s. Empire: Not Russia, China, North Korea, or Iran

"The Soviet Union and something called communism per se had not been the object of Washington's global attacks. There had never been an International Communist Conspiracy. The enemy was, and remains, any government or movement, or even individual, that stands in the way of the expansion of the American Empire; by whatever name the US gives to the enemy - communist, rogue state, drug trafficker, terrorist."

~ William Blum

The real enemy of every American citizen (and all others) is the ruling master class (often referred to as the "Deep State") and all its political pawns and enforcers in the U.S. government. The planted (selected) head pawn at this time is the evil narcissist Trump, but the next puppet will likely be even worse, if one can imagine that, because that is what history tells us. The U.S. is currently the most brutal empire that has ever existed, if one considers all those hundreds of millions harmed, slaughtered, and murdered in war, through regime change, through military aggression, due to economic interference and tariffs, due to sanctions, due to fully funded proxy wars and genocide, and due to attempted control of most every country on earth.

As far as American citizens are concerned, they are horribly abused at the hands of government in multiple ways, not the least of which is the fact that there are more arbitrary laws, regulations, restrictions, debt, theft, and incarceration for victimless 'crimes' than anywhere else on earth. For some time now, this country's residents have been in a physical and psychological hell. In addition to all this, the intense tyranny these past 6 years has been beyond insane.

Regardless of how bad it gets before this empire implodes and fails, which will likely be sooner rather than later, the blame for the downfall of this heinous empirical experiment will be levied against some claimed 'enemy' state, and that will be a lie. It is not China, Russia, North Korea, or Iran that should be feared, it is this State and its government, the same State that most voluntarily accept and worship. This means that fault also rests with all in this country who support this governing monster, and who stand by without resistance to this totalitarian system of evil.

Many will think this assessment harsh, because many will never seek the truth, nor will they take responsibility for their failure to secure their own freedom. You see, as far as I can tell, this is the nature of the humanoid creature called man. While it seems that this could be a learned behavior, based on gullibility, indoctrination, and propaganda, I do not accept that excuse. I consider this to be weakness, cowardice, indifference, or dependency, or whatever other term can be used to describe it, but it is a pathetic flaw and therefore not a legitimate excuse for failure. In the end, it is not the fault of any master willingly allowed to rule, but falls on the shoulders of those voluntarily accepting their own enslavement.

I should mention once again that government actually does not control anything, as the politicians in government are but pawns of the real power. However, government is the most vital connection to the people, and without that middleman position, the real ruling class could not achieve power at all. Therefore, by eliminating government and making impotent the political class, actual progress toward a free society would become possible, albeit that the plebiscites did not demand just another government with different people, which is what has been the case since the beginning.

Over the past 100 years or so, the masses have accepted tax on income, a huge controlling central banking system, WWI, the State-created depression, WWII, Korean War, Vietnam War, complete economic chaos, the Gulf war, the 9/11 inside job hoax and false flag, the War of Terror, torture, the Patriot Act, blanket surveillance, the housing crash and bank bailouts, the fake 'covid pandemic,' poisonous injections called 'vaccines, lockdowns, the American taxpayer funded Zionist Israeli genocide, globalism, and now digital ID and the digital takeover of all. This of course, is a very short list, but apparently "the people" never learn anything from being the cattle herded by their chosen masters into the cages of tyranny to await slaughter.

All empires fail, but with that fall will come much pain and suffering. All of us are now in the position of awaiting a digital prison, where some will be allowed to participate at times, and others not at all. Tracked, traced, and fully programmed, so that all activity, movement, finance, personal information, and life itself will be controlled by the coming technocratic State. This will require that all property and assets be confiscated, tokenized, and used to enrich the rich even more, as the great taking comes to fruition. The control grid once this digitization takes place, will be all consuming and completely inescapable by the lowly masses. That means all of you.

In today's world, the mass majority, which is a super majority, do not care whatsoever about their own freedom and liberty. They go along to get along, never understanding that they are committing financial and personal suicide. But fear not, as many will be forcibly suicided soon enough, when the depopulation agenda goes into high gear. It has already begun and few understand this paradigm, but with time, it will accelerate greatly, and without apology. Open culling will be deemed necessary by the State; which could then lead to a land similar to that of Soylent Green.

Remember, once you are inside of and consumed by Digital ID and the digitally-controlled State, it will be too late to escape. Any remedy has to occur before that time, but the only viable solution is for a large minority to completely abandon the State. that means ignoring it, mass disobedience, and dissent, especially concerning digitized currency, which will be programmable and financially crippling to all, making total control a reality. At this point, this is without question in my mind. Honestly, I do not see large numbers of people deciding as individuals to abandon this heinous system of rule, and there is very little time left for that to be an option.

Why not destroy this empire now, and in fact, destroy any and every empirical system that ever again rears its gruesome head?

"Why do you accept being treated like an inmate?" "Power cannot survive when its subjects free themselves from fear."

~ Antonio Negri and Michael Hardt - "Empire"
