Signs of a dying empire that becomes dangerous

Ridiculous accusations and terror

More evidence that the US imperialistic empire declines, after the ridiculous claims by US officials that the Syrian government buys oil from the Daesh terrorists. In fact, this is an adoption of Erdogan's claims that Assad is buying oil from the Islamic State. The "empire" not only fails to impose discipline on one of its allies, but, furthermore, adopts its ridiculous claims. The US behaves more like a nervous medium power rather than a superpower.

From PressTV:

The US accusation against the Syrian government that it buys oil from the Daesh (ISIL) terrorist group is “mindboggling” that shows the corrupt American empire is in its death throes, a writer and political analyst in Boston says.

These false statements by US officials about Syria shows how bankrupt and unbelievable the US government has become, Daniel Patrick Welch told Press TV on Friday.

The United States has accused the Syrian government of buying oil from Daesh, following reports that Turkey is engaged in oil trade with the terrorist group.

Speaking at Chatham House in London on Thursday, senior US Treasury official Adam Szubin said that Daesh is earning some $40 million a month from oil trade, Reuters reported.

Szubin, the acting undersecretary for Terrorism and Financial Intelligence with the Treasury, said "ISIL is selling a great deal of oil” to the Assad government, without citing any evidence to support his claims.

Welch added characteristically that “I think what is interesting is that the game really is up. This is like a dying empire that is flailing, and is saying and doing literally anything, anything they can to keep the game going. The trouble is it's still the biggest military in the world. It's very dangerous; it's like a cornered, rabid dog.

Indeed, as we wrote in previous article: “What is new, and probably shows that the US empire declines, is that the latest round of imperialist intervention both in Latin America and Middle East, is a result of a nervous reaction by the empire against the geopolitical and economic expansion of its major opponents in the global arena. While in the past the global spheres of influence were more or less unofficially determined by all major powers, today's fierce antagonism for global dominance leaves no room for 'silent agreements'. But the declining empire is more dangerous than ever, and will use all means to retain its dominance.

But terror has become also the key tool by the "empire" to prevail against its opponents in the global arena. False flags, armies of mercenaries and proxy wars show a saturated and tired from the dead-end wars superpower that tries hardly to maintain its dominance.

As the American scholar and political analyst Dennis Etler, told at PressTV:

It can legitimately be asked, ‘who benefits from these attacks and the hysteria they generate?’ The clear answer is those in the US, Israel, Saudi Arabia, the other [Persian] Gulf States and Turkey who want to see the defeat and destruction of anti-imperialist nations, be they secularly or religiously motivated, they are the chief beneficiaries of the chaos that has engulfed the Middle East and other regions of the world.

The US wants to maintain its position of global hegemony and counter the rise of a multi-polar world led by Russia and China. One way of doing this is to fan the flames of war and instability on their borders, hoping that the destabilizing effects will spill over and threaten them at home,

[...]

Turkey under the leadership of the Pan-Turkic Erdogan wants to use the ‘War on Terrorism’ to expand its influence into Turkic lands in Central Asia, including China's Xinjiang. Saudi Arabia and the [Persian] Gulf states wish to use their Salafist clients in order to extend their influence throughout the Middle Eat in contention with Iran and its allies.

[...]

It thus matters little as to whether the terrorists are willing pawns of the imperialists, their dupes or autonomous actors with their own agenda. It doesn't make one whit of difference as to whether the terrorist attacks on civilians are ‘false flag operations,’ ‘set-up jobs,’ or simply attacks motivated by a malignant ideology. In any case the attacks serve the interests of the cabal of imperialists commanded by the US which includes a motley assortment of Zionists, Salafists, and Panturkists. Homeland terrorist attacks play into the hands of those who want to continue to wage war against those who are the primary victims of the terrorists that the US and its allies train, fund and supply directly and indirectly. It is the perfect example of a thief yelling 'Catch the thief,’” the scholar concluded.

But we should not forget the elites behind the scenes who pull the strings of the political puppets. It's all about power and money. And the best proof is that even the leaderships in the most "religiously" fanatic regimes are doing business for profit upon the Middle East chaos. Many related accusations have come to surface lately about the involvement of the Erdogan family, while we know that the regime in Saudi Arabia enjoys the super-profits form oil, when people are suffering from this brutal regime.

The "empire" is only the tool through which the elites try to maintain a system which secures their global dominance in every level and field. When the "empire" shows signs of degradation, it means that this system suffers from high instability, which makes it more dangerous than ever.

Norman Finkelstein & Jeremy Corbyn: THE INTERVIEW ISRAEL WANT TO BAN

Double Down News In a powerful and deeply personal conversation, political scientist Dr. Norman Finkelstein sits down with MP and former UK Labour Leader Jeremy Corbyn to analyse the ongoing crisis in Gaza, Western diplomatic inaction, and the media's framing of the conflict. From evaluating ICJ proceedings to dismantling mainstream media "gatekeeper" tactics, Finkelstein and Corbyn provide an unsparing critique of current geopolitical realities and explain why Gaza has become a defining moral touchstone for a new generation. Beyond foreign policy, the pair explore the broader societal shifts shaping world politics today. Drawing on four decades of political activism, they compare today's student movement to historical anti-Apartheid and anti-Vietnam War struggles, while examining the decline of social mobility, the commercialisation of higher education, and the impact of digital media on critical thinking and long-term political engagement.

CNN Host COMPLETELY DESTROYED By RFK For Lying About COVID & Vaxx!

The Jimmy Dore Show   In this video, Jimmy Dore offers a scathing critique of CNN's Dana Bash and her colleagues in the legacy media for their COVID-19 coverage, accusing them of being paid mouthpieces for pharmaceutical companies rather than skeptical journalists. He argues that Anthony Fauci systematically lied about masks, social distancing, natural immunity, and the virus's origin, while CNN and other networks censored dissenting scientists like Dr. Robert Malone and Dr. Peter McCullough. Dore points to documented financial ties between Pfizer and CNN, as well as statements from former medical journal editors confirming widespread industry corruption, to support claims that the pandemic response was manufactured for profit. The segment defends RFK Jr.'s questioning of vaccine science and measles narratives, concluding that mainstream media journalists who ridicule truth-tellers are cowardly accessories to a deadly medical fraud.

A response to misinformation on Nicaragua: it was a coup, not a ‘massacre’

There is so much misinformation in mainstream corporate media about recent events in Nicaragua that it is a pity that Mary Ellsberg’s article for Pulse has added to it with a seemingly leftish critique. Ellsberg claims that recent articles, including from this website, often “ paint a picture of the crisis in Nicaragua that is dangerously misleading. ” Unfortunately, her own article does just that. It looks at the situation entirely from the perspective of those opposing Daniel Ortega’s government while whitewashing their malevolent behavior and downplaying the levels of US support they have relied on. Her piece is an incomplete depiction of what is happening on the ground, ignoring many salient facts that have come to light and which have been outdated by recent events. The following is a brief response to Ellsberg’s main points from someone who lives in Nicaragua and has observed the situation directly and intimately: https://grayzoneproject.com/2018/08/15/a-res...
