If The U.S. Loses Syria… The U.S. Loses Its Empire

Hillary's-big-mouth

US threatens Russia, China for not supporting ‘campaign of terror’
in Syria. The US’ increasingly unhinged rhetoric reached a new level of
absurdity.

This week  US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton
called on Western nations and their Arab proxies to “make
it clear that Russia and China will pay a price because they are
holding up progress
” in regards to the US’ premeditated
campaign of terrorism and violent regime change in Syria.

It was made public as early as 2007 by Seymour Hersh in his
report “The
Redirection
” published in the New Yorker that the US,
Israel, Saudi Arabia and others were gathering, funding, arming,
and deploying a front of violent sectarian extremists, many with
ties to Al Qaeda, to undermine, destabilize, and eventually lead
to the overthrow of the governments of Lebanon, Syria, and Iran.

The violent campaign was rolled out publicly in the wake of a
similarly premeditated geopolitical ploy, the so-called “Arab
Spring,” and has since then been clearly exposed as the work of
violent terrorist networks.

Ironically, these terrorist networks
are those allegedly the impetus of the “War on Terror,” now
paradoxically being funded, armed, and politically backed by the
West.

It was reported that Libyan terrorists

led by Abdul Hakim Belhaj
, commander of the Libyan Islamic
Fighting Group (LIFG),

a US State Department-listed “Foreign Terrorist Organization
,”
had

joined the so-called “Free Syrian Army
” (FSA) along with
sectarian extremists from Iraq who specialize

in the indiscriminate terrorist bombings now ravaging Syria
.

In fact, the true nature of Syria’s “rebels” has become so well
known, that recent attempts to sway public opinion with
continued, but unsubstantiated reports of “atrocities” aimed at
demonizing the Syrian government have been met with skepticism,
doubt, and even indignation by the public – giving nations like
Russia and China not only the opportunity to defy Western
dictates, but a moral imperative to do so as well.

Collapsing Legitimacy Leads to Collapsing Empires

The global hegemony of Wall Street and London has been built
behind a facade of “human rights,” “freedom,” and “democracy.”
As these principles are eroded back home in the West, their use
for dressing up otherwise naked imperialism, corporate
monopolization, and military aggression abroad has become overt
and increasingly ineffective.

While the US Secretary of State attempts to blame Russia and
China for “holding up progress” in the West’s campaign of
premeditated destabilization in Syria, it is more likely that
the West’s own loss of legitimacy is the true reason it has not
successfully convinced the world to go along with what is
increasingly appearing to be a self-serving and very untenable
agenda.

Should the US fail in its attempts to overthrow the government
of Syria, and quite likely even if it does manage to succeed at
this late hour.

So much damage has been done to the West’s
credibility, as well as to the credibility of its allegedly
independent institutions, that future gambits will be even more
difficult to execute.

As the West’s economy and geopolitical
power crumbles and its reach becomes less subtle and more
adversarial, shareholders will seek more secure investments,
financially, politically, and even tactically.

Maintaining an empire relies on an immense global infrastructure
the West still possesses – but it is an infrastructure that is
meeting competition from not only rival hegemonies, but from
within individual nations as well, on both a national and
grassroots level.

Empires are also built on psychological
factors such as faith in one’s institutions and fear of one’s
military prowess.

The West has been increasingly faltering in
all respects in a world where these concepts are becoming
increasingly challenged by shifting social, economic, and
technological paradigms.

What the West should be doing is positioning itself for this
changing world – instead it is clinging to a crumbling empire,
scrambling to build a global paradigm rendered antiquated long
before it has even been implemented.

Boycotting

the corporate-financier interests
behind this attempt at
establishing global hegemony will accelerate and ensure its
failure.

While resolving ourselves to creating genuine
institutions on a local and national level for and by the people
will ensure that we are not left in disarray once these corrupt
globalist institutions are rendered moot.
