This is significant.

"The main architect of Washington’s plan to rule the world has abandoned the scheme and called for the forging of ties with Russia and China. While Zbigniew Brzezinski’s article in The American Interest titled “Towards a Global Realignment” has largely been ignored by the media, it shows that powerful members of the policymaking establishment no longer believe that Washington will prevail in its quest to extent US hegemony across the Middle East and Asia."

This is one of the primary people advocating and planning for the post Cold War American Empire, an architect of the creation of Al Qaeda to fight the Russians in their ill advised war in Afghanistan in the 80's. Look up American Empire Scoundrel in the dictionary and you'll see his picture. Here's what he said back then:

“…The last decade of the twentieth century has witnessed a tectonic shift in world affairs. For the first time ever, a non-Eurasian power has emerged not only as a key arbiter of Eurasian power relations but also as the world’s paramount power. The defeat and collapse of the Soviet Union was the final step in the rapid ascendance of a Western Hemisphere power, the United States, as the sole and, indeed, the first truly global power.” (“The Grand Chessboard: American Primacy And Its Geostrategic Imperatives,” Zbigniew Brzezinski, Basic Books, 1997, p. xiii)"

Here's what he's saying now:

"As its era of global dominance ends, the United States needs to take the lead in realigning the global power architecture.

Five basic verities regarding the emerging redistribution of global political power and the violent political awakening in the Middle East are signaling the coming of a new global realignment.

The first of these verities is that the United States is still the world’s politically, economically, and militarily most powerful entity but, given complex geopolitical shifts in regional balances, it is no longer the globally imperial power. But neither is any other major power."

"As it's era of global dominance ends"

We've watched this happen in real time. From the Fall of the Wall to 9/11 to 15 Fucking years of war to now when Ziggy the Empire Man proclaims the end of the American Empire.

This requires analysis. I'll have to get back on that. But it's important. The changes are happening fast. What happens next appears to be a pivotal point in human history. Imagine that, here we are at a pivotal point in human history. This isn't the end of the English Empire. This is the American Empire, the one with over a 1000 military bases around the planet, special forces in nearly every country, the Empire waging war on the world right now, the Empire with the greatest military machine in the history of the world (except those Russian and Chinese weapons that are giving the American MIC and the Pentagon the shivers). This is America, the land of the free and home of the brave.

So how is this realignment going to happen? Ziggy has some suggestions but to him it's still all about power. The American Empire may not be The Shit but it can still be the Leader. So maybe we'll go from The Shit to The Leader. For We the Serfs it hardly matters, we'll still be Serfs. In reality this is a step closer to the New World Order. So in the end it could be worse than we've got now, and we've got it bad.

Our next new warmonger imperialist President is clearly on record to continue and safeguard the American Empire. The Neocons are still clinging to their quest for the New American Century. But the times they are a changing. Ziggy says so. I'd like to say this is hopeful but my instincts tell me otherwise. This train isn't going to be easily halted. As stated earlier, Russia and China have developed military weapons that rival and surpass those the daunted American military machine possesses. The ability to win a non nuclear war against either of them is now seriously in doubt. Here's Ziggy regarding what may come next.

"That era is now ending. While no state is likely in the near future to match America’s economic-financial superiority, new weapons systems could suddenly endow some countries with the means to commit suicide in a joint tit-for-tat embrace with the United States, or even to prevail. Without going into speculative detail, the sudden acquisition by some state of the capacity to render America militarily inferior would spell the end of America’s global role. The result would most probably be global chaos. And that is why it behooves the United States to fashion a policy in which at least one of the two potentially threatening states becomes a partner in the quest for regional and then wider global stability, and thus in containing the least predictable but potentially the most likely rival to overreach. Currently, the more likely to overreach is Russia, but in the longer run it could be China."

A global People's Revolution is needed at this point to stop this madness.
