Spain's monarchy had its own version of the modern military-industrial-congressional complex. Marichal writes that, "many wealthy individuals and privileged corporations in New Spain openly collaborated with enormous sums extended to the monarchy for its war efforts," (Marichal, pg. 261). Spain's exploitative system exists in Washington today, on a much larger scale. But it won't last. It wasn't sustainable in 1810, and it isn't sustainable in 2010.
The Spanish empire went bankrupted in the beginning of the 19th century, which "was the prelude to the wars of independence," says Marichal, (pg. 265). America's empire may may soon crash and burn too, and what develops on its ruins could be a new world order in which the same criminal corporations and banks continue to profit at the people's expense, or a new found independence for America, and an age of universal and permanent peace for mankind.
America was never meant to be an empire. Thomas Jefferson warned his countrymen against allowing private banking institutions and standing armies a safe haven in America as they are the two evils that most threaten a country's freedom and security; the one by creating unjustified debts, and the other by creating unjustified wars. Jefferson's fear that amoral private bankers would give birth to tyranny if they ever hijacked the people's power to create money was shared by other Founding Fathers.
Their fear was warranted. After winning a few early battles against the international bankers in the 19th century, America was finally conquered by them in 1913 with the illegal passage of the Federal Reserve Act, which gave a group of private banks the gift of money creation that previously was in the possession of Congress. It was a handover of power that Satan would have approved of had he been consulted in Jekyll Island, a state-owned island off the coast of Georgia, three years prior to the establishment of the Fed, in November 1910, when key representatives of private banking houses like J.P. Morgan met secretly to conceive a game plan to implement a private central bank in the United States to rule its monetary policy, and thereby control its national destiny.
Earlier this month Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke commemorated the 100 anniversary of the secret bankers' meeting in Jekyll Island by speaking at a conference held on the island called "A Return to Jekyll Island: The Origins, History, and Future of the Federal Reserve." The conference came on the heel of the Fed's announcement of its disastrous QE2 policy, and was barely mentioned by the mainstream media.
Despite academic ignorance and media censorship pertaining to the anti-democratic origins of the Fed, the American people are rediscovering their nation's 20th century history, and beginning to understand the Fed's destructive role in the global economy.
Through the Fed, the international private banking establishment enslaved the American people, and established a military-CIA machine that is used solely to exploit and enslave other nations that resists the bankers' will. If it wasn't for the monstrosity that is the Fed, the U.S. empire would be less likely to wage war, and maintain its 1,000 military bases around the world. As long as the private bankers are allowed to get away with their historical treachery and crimes, America and other nations will be continually exploited and terrorized at their hands. The world's only defense from this secret establishment is if the American people dismantle the Federal Reserve Bank, and the godless Empire that came along with it.
Chalmers Johnson, who, sadly, passed away on November 20, laid out ten steps that the American people must take to bring an end to the U.S. empire. Johnson warned that in the absence of civic-minded reforms, financial bankruptcy will finally bring America down. He wrote:
"The failure to begin to deal with our bloated military establishment and the profligate use of it in missions for which it is hopelessly inappropriate will, sooner rather than later, condemn the United States to a devastating trio of consequences: imperial overstretch, perpetual war, and insolvency, leading to a likely collapse similar to that of the former Soviet Union."If the empire is not dismantled then the criminal wars in the Middle East will continue indefinitely, and America will be in a permanent state of siege. The time to resist is now. The time to left the siege is now. There won't be any opportunity for peaceful resistance under direct military rule, especially against an empire that has mastered brutality and murder in Vietnam and Iraq.
Ending the state of siege by the U.S. empire is our generation's responsibility, no matter where we live, because its reach is global. Not only will we create world peace, but we will bring justice to the Empire's many victims, which include American citizens who died on September 11, 2001, Iraqi children who died under the U.S. carpet bombing in Iraq, and President Kennedy who was assassinated for resisting the empire and its war mentality during the Cold War.
World peace, a dream shared by both Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr., isn't possible unless large military machines are abolished around the world, and America must set the example towards reaching that global goal. It is uniquely capable of bringing peace to the world because it is a country that was founded on the principles of freedom, and friendship with all nations. America was not created to be used to rule other nations, and wage endless criminals wars, but to be the shining city on the hill.
Under the right leadership America can be the greatest country in the world. I have no doubt about that. The Founding Fathers provided a sound base with the Constitution, the soundest of any nation, and gave subsequent generations the opportunity to improve upon it. America's enemies are not Al-Qaeda, which is a manufactured threat, or Iran, but the private banking cartel, neocons and their allies in Israel, and the Empire. Once they are shrugged off, the chances of world peace becoming a reality grow considerably.
When armed with knowledge about false-flag attacks and the real history of modern wars, nothing can stop mankind's quest for world peace and freedom. Freedom and world peace are attainable goals. Believing that the war on terror cannot be ended is an unacceptable failure of historical imagination. In the 21st century there are no reasons for conflict between nations and religions. Absolutely none. The War on Terrorism is a manufactured and criminal conflict. The official 9/11 story is science fiction. It is false. The War on Terrorism's Big Bang is a Big Lie. To deny this fact is to deny authentic reality, and to live in the empire's reality. In the end, the Washington Consensus will be mentally conquered by the Consensus of Humanity. The Word of the Holy Office of the White House is no match against the Word of Reality. The Heretics of the Apocalypse will be victorious against the Tyrants of the Apocalypse. A free America will reclaim its destiny. The Republic will be restored. And the traitors will be hanged.
But America can't recover its freedoms and destiny without help from members of the U.S. military, and military veterans. Their leadership in the trying times ahead is greatly needed. Damon Vrabel, a former member of the military, and founder of the website, Council on spiritual, psychological & economic renewal, addressed members of the military in his article "Financial Warfare and the Failure of US Military Leadership," telling them:
"Message to my old military colleagues: the US has been blatantly attacked by the most powerful weapon in history – leveraged finance – and rather than defending the country, you’re exacerbating it by killing poor people in deserts for the military-industrial-CIA complex to bring them under the rule of the global banking system and secure their resources. Despite the propaganda, there is no honor in being an assassin for corporate empire. Prove Kissinger wrong, the guy who according to Bob Woodward called you "stupid animals" to be used as pawns. This is what civilian strategists think of you, so stop being suckered by them into killing the weak on the orders of the strong."Hopefully there are wise and courageous men in the military establishment who are not part of the criminal conspiracy and understand that continual high treason is taking place in Washington which must be stopped. The fraudulent and criminal war on terror, also called the "Long War," must be brought to an end.
"All that is necessary for the triumph of evil" said Edmund Burke, "is that good men do nothing."
