I want to clarify something as it can be confusing when we use the term America. When I refer to America as an empire, in this context, I mean the state, which is controlled by competing groups of elite bankers and multinational corporations. These groups use the United States government to control an empire of vassal states.

I believe today we are in the midst of a shift from the old world order of democracy to a more traditional national-based or people-based empire. There will no longer be one superpower, but multiple smaller powers is how I see this playing out over time.

Again, I don't think this is because of Trump. I think these are trends that happen over time that are above someone like Donald Trump. While there are definitely reasons for concern and possible outcomes that could be very disastrous, I don't think the previous trajectory of the world was lacking those same risks. In many ways, the previous world order was untenable and doomed to failure from the start.
