The United States Collapsed Empire
[media=https://youtu.be/PyQldBbtVqU?is=lTmWpUSbn4m9ejHL]
Debt topples powerful Empires, Rome, Spain, France, Britain, or the Soviet Union.
The typical pattern in these examples of collapsing Empires is:
Stage #1:Empires achieve success and become overconfident.
Stage #2:Overconfidence leads to extravagant spending on luxuries and Wars.
Stage #3:Empires finance this lavish spending by going into Debt.
Stage #4:The Debt grows to an unsustainable level and creates a crushing burden.
Stage #5:Empires finance the Debt through Taxation and Currency debasement.
Stage #6:The populace bears the brunt of Debt repayment as Empires raise Taxes and debase the Currency —to the maximum extent—until it causes internal instability.
Stage #7:Empires cannot finance their militaries because of their debt burden. This is usually the tipping point.
Stage #8:Underfunded Militaries plus internal instability make Empires vulnerable to Foreign Invasion, Domestic Revolution, Civil War, and other existential dangers.
Stage #9:The Empire collapses.
It’s the US Empire’s turn.
The US Government Debt is growing at a rapid, unstoppable pace.
Annualized Interest on the Debt exceeded $1.2 Trillion recently and higher exponentially, higher than the Defense Budget. It’s exceeded Social Security and become the BIGGEST Line item in the Federal Budget.
Consider this:
1. The American Public is at its breaking point as Taxation and Inflation rise.
2. Interest on the Debt exceeds Defense Spending and is set to become the BIGGEST expenditure, and it will keep growing.
As a result, the US Empire is somewhere betweenStage#7and #8 in the Empire collapse pattern described.
The US Government will:
1. Cut Defense Spending amid the most chaotic Geopolitical period since WW2.
2. Default on its Pyramid Scheme promises regarding Social Security, Medicare, Veterans’ Benefits, and Welfare, which will not be paid.
The US Government cannot continue to pay for the Entitlement Ponzi Scheme it forced on the American Public, Taxpayers, Consumers, and Defense. All will grow exponentially.
Tens of Millions of Baby Boomers—about 20% of Taxpayers and Consumers —will enter Retirement. Cutting Social Security and Medicare is the ultimate Third Rail of Politics and Political Intransigence.
Former Secretary of Defense Robert Gates recently said: "Barely staying even with inflation or worse is wholly inadequate. Significant additional resources for defense are necessary and urgent."
The most likely outcome is that the US will try to have its cake and eat it too by paying for both growing Defense and Domestic obligations via Currency debasement. However, it will likely end up just like other powerful collapsed Empires that preceded it—with a Broke Military and Domestic Bankruptcy.
The truth is that Donald Trump cannot make America great again any more than Gorbachev could save the Soviet Union. Once an Empire cannot pay for its Military, the decline is impossible to reverse.
The US Dollar has lost over 98% of its value against Gold since 1971.
Just as Roman Citizenry realized their Government was defaulting on its promises to them through Currency debasement, I'm confident that Social Security and Medicare Recipients, the Disabled Kids/Adults, and others who've been promised something from the US Government will know they're paid in debased Currency. They'll be pissed off, desperate, hopeless, and violent. Their Adult Children and other Family Members can't and won't be there or able to care for them. Survival of the Fittest will be the reality. The idea of them starting over or having any chance at a Standard of Living will fall through the floor.
I'm confident US Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, Marines, and Coast Guardsmen will realize the same. They'll be pissed off and violent after they find out they were nothing more than Hired Help and Hired Guns for the Corporate Paymasters who bought off the US Government and Foreign Governments alike. Their chances at a Quality of Life, the bottom will drop out of that too.
The United States' crushing Debt burden will cause the Military to be Flat Broke and Unrest as average US Citizenry bears the brunt of Debt Repayment through increased Taxation, Inflation, and broken promises on Social programs. After all, Promises are a comfort toa Baffling Fool. The Piper will be at their doors demanding to be paid.
It won't be long before the exploding Interest Expense crowds out Defense, Social Security, and other Domestic commitments.The United States has a disaster of historical proportions. The collapse of the US Empire, which has been in place since the end of WW2—otherwise known as the US-led World Order —will befall sooner than most thought. The Global Geopolitical situation was already trending towards a Multipolar World Order. The US Debt Crisis is compounding this.
Many will be unprepared for the collapse of the US Empire. When private Businesses go bankrupt, shareholders get wiped out.
When Governments go bankrupt, those who hold its Fiat Currency get wiped out.
The US Government will desperately try to service its Debt with Currency debasement like many collapsed Empires, the US Dollar will be about as valuable as Toilet or WallPaper.
As the US Government resorts to increasingly aggressive Currency debasement to fund its obligations, the value of the Dollar will rot—and Capital will be in scarce Assets.
