William Engdahl on the dusk of American exceptionalism

[rollsthepaul]

There are no political solutions for the woes of the USA. Corrupt does not heal corrupt. The system must go but it will fight with all resources to maintain the status quo. Forget about the nonsense of elections.

[alpidistra]

When studying the decline and fall of the Roman Empire, we see the same pattern of exponential expansion of aggression and conquest in proportion to the steady decline of the state and it's economic sustainability. America's societal collapse is undoubtedly tied to it's people's inability or unwillingness to curb their government's criminal foreign policy and banking system. The failure to understand that what the country sows overseas, it will inevitably reap at home, is a fatal mistake.

[MyTube22T]

American exceptionalism = Phony Imperial Triumphalism

[98bigbutt]

While the world is changing,America still thinks Imperialist.

[TruthatCearcie]

Lately, I have been increasingly less supportive of this governments actions.

[TheNova1960]

It's time to cut foreign aid, end the Feds, bring all of our troops home, defend our borders not borders in the middle east, mind our own business, be friends with the world instead of one tiny country, and protect our Constitution! Ron Paul shows his allegiance to the USA not to the UN, NATO or AIPAC! Made in the USA...vote American...vote for Congressman Ron Paul or it will be hell on earth!

[krjourneyfan78]

Why do people have to spread hate? You don't see anyone here saying f*ck to any other nation, except those saying that about America.

[jczg08alt]

@krjourneyfan78

US goverment giving mexican drug gangs weapons.

US commiting acts of financial war against Europe (via Goldman Sachs)

US campaign of terror against the middle east + drumming up new wars.

US intimidating ASEAN trade block to exclude China.

US provoking Russia with nuclear containment (possibly compromising existing disarmament treaties)

US shoving troops into Australia.

That's just stuff off the top of my head, all of which are happening currently. America is the problem.

[krjourneyfan78]

@jczg08alt Well, that's all very interesting & that is not how our government justifies it's actions to us. Please know that many Americans do not support the actions of our government. Just like I don't hate Muslims because of the Taliban,and recognize that not all Germans were Nazis.There are reasonable, loving, kind, non-violent & generous people in America. Sure, our culture of consumerism & materialism is pathetic, but people have been brainwashed. :( It is the top 1% elite that does this.

[malahidecobra]

@krjourneyfan78 Yes, the Elite have been selling us their CRAP MAMMON since forever, but we need to take responsibility back, because it is US who have BOUGHT what their selling!!!

[malahidecobra]

@jczg08alt Yes, but to be more exact: Those who control America are a big problem. The American citizenrys' IGNORANCE of whats being done in their names is a MASSIVE problem..

[krjourneyfan78]

@malahidecobra Yes, many Americans are ignorant and the Occupy Wall Street movement shows that people are waking up! However, the brainwashing gets more and more sophisticated and our news gets more and more filtered and diluted. Unless people actively seek the truth, it is harder and harder to find.

[ParrhesiaJoe]

@krjourneyfan78 I disagree. Information.

Six years ago, I was an ass. I THOUGHT I was doing due diligence when someone would mention a non-mainstream story... but the easily accessible information was either a defense of the status quo or a low quality, poorly argued production in support of the alternative view.

I am arrogant. It took a mountain of evidence to wake me up, and that evidence simply wasn't easily accessible just a decade ago.

This is unstoppable now.

We win.

[landlogger]

As usual Canada has gone to the moon. We are ignored cause US can't take that we or any other country is better.

[lifeisaliewithoutaf]

america just keeps on pushing and pushing, and its reached the point where someone will push back

[lppoqql]

America is a RACIST country, look how America promotes Asian fetish, All Asians should fucken hate American for Asian fetish and the constantly insult of Asian men using their racist media!

[krjourneyfan78]

@lppoqql I've seen you make this comment before. I don't understand what you mean by "Asian festish." How do Americans insult Asian men?

[jczg08alt]

@lppoqql Asians are hardly an exception... America is a sadistic nation and subjugating others (all others little exception) is a part of their lifestyle & culture. At the heart of it all are Anglos (notice pretty much all Anglo nations have very violent, sadistic. racist histories).  As long as other peoples are too stupid, too gullible, and too greedy to stop trying to join the Anglo club and be their towelboys, this evil treachery by Americans/Anglosphere/Euro-goo­ns will just continue.

[TheReallitycheck]

1:32 - 1:46 What a cow!! 10% of Americans have passports. Americans don't know shit about the world. 70% can't even find Iraq on a map. Give me a break.

[GalaktikNinjA]

Things are gunna get worse before they get much worse.

[JanRichardus]

Why does the US only bomb countries that can't shoot back?

[enticed2zeitgeist]

@JanRichardus The same reason people like to play games with people who are easy to defeat.

[burnindownthehouse]

This man is correct. I wish more people would listen to guys like this. In other words, I wish more people would listen to reason.

[PhilDobson2010]

Not one country that USA has bombed in the last 50 years is better than it would have been if it had not been bombed.

Individuals in the USA have made exceptional fortunes from the debt slavery this bombing caused.

Slavery never ended in USA, it's methods changed to $ & debt slavery.

[donkiddick08]

@PhilDobson2010 as a brit, i'm sad to say that the only war the US has ever won on it's own was against us! mind you, they pick tough opponents. vietnam has never lost a war, nor has afghanistan. still, plenty of lovely dosh for the defence industries and, after, the building companies, eh.

[johnnycmajor]

America wake to fuck up. Do you not see how close we are to a nuclear war?

Ron Paul wins we all win, Dr. Paul loses we all lose. It is as simple as that.

[jose13666]

@johnnycmajor well said, if Ron Paul is not the president we are all toasted, game over.

[riethc]

@johnnycmajor

"Ron Paul wins we all win, Dr. Paul loses we all lose. It is as simple as that."

Why does this remind me of "Hope and Change": The belief the next president will fix everything? No more pipe dreams.

[TheReallitycheck]

@riethc At the moment there is no system to replace the one there is. Ron Paul is pretty much the last best thing left. Because we all know the rest is cookoo for coco puffs.

[enticed2zeitgeist]

@riethc Yes! Spread that message everywhere!

[1977Melville]

@johnnycmajor. Zerohedge just posted a piece about the U.S.S. George H.W. Bush positioning itself near Syria. Embassy also told all Americans to leave Syria. Not looking good considering there is a Russian boat there too.

[98bigbutt]

@johnnycmajor,Don't get your hopes up because what if Ron Paul becomes another Obama as far as braking promises?

[johnnycmajor]

@98bigbutt Nothing gained nothing lost then. We are doomed.

Load up and prepare to defend yourself.

[Dane42o]

@98bigbutt Ron Pauls record supports his stances. Obama's never really did. I'm not even a Ron Paul supporter ><

[98bigbutt]

@Dane42o,I hope you're right.
