Credit creates money.  The desire for money is insatiable.  So too, therefore, is the growth of credit, the flip side of which is debt.  Our political system will fail, as many others have failed before, by over extension of empire and inability to pay off debt except by hyperinflation or repudiation.

 

This thinking portends only one thing.  As the previously stated the "unendorsed" CFR sponsored position paper, Building a North American Community envisioned, taking the FTA out of NAFTA and adding a U to establish the North American Union (NAU), a parallel to the European Union.  The addition of Canadian natural resources and Mexican human resources to our own, combined with a new currency, may prove to be an acceptable alternative to the chaos resulting from the loss of homes, jobs, savings, educational opportunities, pensions, social security, and health care of scores of millions of U.S. citizens resulting from a complete economic meltdown.

 

An alternative to, or perhaps a predecessor to the NAU, could be a Fascist State, a Corporate controlled military dictatorship resulting from the chaos associated with a complete economic collapse of the United States, a not unlikely condition.  Mussolini provided a model which the ALL in this country sought, but failed, unlike Hitler, to emulate.  The extension of free market capitalism and empire cannot be sustained by continued increases in debt.  Our plutocrats will continue to take rather than give.  

 

Another possible alternative could be the formation of a political union of Canada, the U.S. and Great Britain.  The inclusion of Australia and New Zealand cannot be ruled out thus moving the new world order one step closer to the dream of H. G. Wells and the Rhodes-Milner Roundtable, the discussion of which initiated this series of articles.

 

Mixed in with all of this is the real potential for resource theft by war in an attempt to save the American Empire.  Iraq may have been a practice event albeit a failed practice event.  Zbigniew Brzezinski, one of the chief geostrategic thinkers of the CFR, the TC, and the BG wrote of America's imperial project for the 21st century in his book The Grand Chessboard; "It is imperative that no Eurasian challenger emerges, capable of dominating Eurasia and thus of also challenging America."  

 

He went on to bluntly state, the Central Asian nations are more important to America "as a potential economic prize" than are the  "security and historical ambitions to at least three of their most immediate and more powerful neighbors, namely Russia, Turkey and Iran, with China also signaling an increasing political interest in the region".  Brzezinski emphasizes "that America's primary interest is to help ensure that no single power comes to control this geopolitical space" except, of course, it be us.

 

To conclude, this series of articles was intended to demonstrate a consistent logic from the examination of the public record of 16 institutions that clearly demonstrate that, while citizens are ruled by Government, Government is not ruled by its citizens.  Government by and for the people is a sham. National elections are meaningless. The U.S. is an under-developing nation.  National sovereignty is eroding.    

 

As wealth flows ever upward, as the U.S. under-develops to a third world country, and prior to its disappearance as a nation state, for the vast majority of U.S. citizens, the "American Dream" is dead except, as George Carlin says, "when you're asleep".
