Default The American Empire Is Bankrupt



The American Empire Is Bankrupt

Posted on Jun 14, 2009

By Chris Hedges


This week marks the end of the dollar’s reign as the world’s reserve currency. It marks the start of a terrible period of economic and political decline in the United States. And it signals the last gasp of the American imperium. That’s over. It is not coming back. And what is to come will be very, very painful.

Barack Obama, and the criminal class on Wall Street, aided by a corporate media that continues to peddle fatuous gossip and trash talk as news while we endure the greatest economic crisis in our history, may have fooled us, but the rest of the world knows we are bankrupt. And these nations are damned if they are going to continue to prop up an inflated dollar and sustain the massive federal budget deficits, swollen to over $2 trillion, which fund America’s imperial expansion in Eurasia and our system of casino capitalism. They have us by the throat. They are about to squeeze.

Ziemlich gebrochenes Deutsch, oder? Auf jeden Fall verstehe ich deine Sätze und lobe ich deinen Versuch.

Und in Erwiderung auf die Anmerkung: Doch! Seit jeher ist der „Ουροβόρος” als ein göttliches prophetisches Bildsymbol anerkannt!

You guys have just activated a red flag against your names, underground at the Homeland Security supercomputer system. It could have been a simple translation error, instead of a terrorist alert, but how is the SC to know?

Come to think of it, rather good German actually - for a Texan.

Guten Tag, y'all!
