Three Plagues Destroying America
As Americans watch their world power and respect slip away, they will have plenty of periods of idleness to ponder what happened. I, and many others, have predicted this early final period of the American Empire. We foresaw the “New American Century” deflating into the American decade.
I see the convergence of three primary inflictions. First is the Ronald Reagan resurrection of the failed 1920’s economic and political theories. They are failing this time also, inflicting a terminal cancer on the U.S.
Secondly, there’s the bloodless coup of 2000 that replaced the healthy heart of the U.S. with a defective one that inflicted cardiac disease on the U.S.
Finally, there is the attack by outside elements on September 11, 2001 that inflicted a mosquito bite on the nation. This resulted in an overreaction by leaders of limited ability, who knew only force as a tool in international relations. Their disproportionate response inflicted anaphylactic shock on the nation.
A mysterious, millionaire, religious fanatic on the other side of the world calculated that he had the power to bring down a world empire. He claimed credit for destroying the Soviet Empire during its involvement in Afghanistan, and felt he understood the minds of American leaders sufficiently to provoke them into destroying themselves also.
It was the mosquito bite delivered by Osama bin Laden that pushed the arrogant empire over the edge decades before its natural life span was reached. His God seems to be more powerful than George Bush’s God.
The demise of the American Empire should usher in a higher level of civilization. The United States has been emblematic of slavery throughout its entire existence. First it practiced Negro and indentured servant slavery. Next was wage slavery. Today is sweatshop slavery. All are despicable practices unworthy of enlightened people. The world should be a better place when both are gone.
