This video is non-political ( non-partisan ) and covers the reality of the choices being made NOW that are INSANE! We are bankrupting our own country over the outrageous amount of money and the propaganda about the Ukraine war. We have fallen down the rabbit hole and what was up is now down.

Our soaring national debt is going to shaft us all if our government doesn't wake up....and soon. Printing money with NO means of backing it up will eventually cause the value of the dollar to Crash. The U.S. ran up a massive debt during WWII, but in the late 40's/early 50's, taxes rose to as high as 90%, and the debt was brought under control. Try that today, and most people would "mutiny"....especially the wealthy.
Nations such as Argentina and Greece have seen their currencies crash in recent years, due to irresponsible governments, and we are headed down the same road. When, not if, the dollar is devalued, a loaf of bread will cost $5, and a gallon of gas $10, but wages will Not be doubled.
 
this empire is over cuz wallst has stripped the entire land mass of resources leaving nothing but dirt
dust and all thats broken in their wake.

our gov let them do it. 120 years is all it took to alter this continent for the next 1000years.
they did it elsewhere too.

everything else is a distraction. all the celebrity politics is a distraction. they fly over this land mass
all the time they SEE what it looks like, they Know what theyve done and they do not GAS.

the distractors will find ways to distract the people from the environment.

Thank you for posting this. I love Jimmy Dore! So many great points.
 
...The interest on the public debt for fiscal year 2021 is estimated to be $413 billion, according to the Congressional Budget Office (CBO)....

That is just an INTEREST payment, no Principal/debt reduction from it!! Congress has signed a death warrant for America. Those growing up don't stand a chance! Our own government has condemned us!!!

Misa and I are already planning on less of everything from now on. We are losing close to 20% each month on our budget! Sometimes I feel like I live in the beginnings of one of the third world countries we invaded and then failed to help them but we demolished their country....ironinc?

American Empire? Oh tut-tut.

Tut-tut is defined as something said to show annoyance or to call someone on bad behavior. An example of tut-tut is what someone says when talking about a congressman/empire who got caught in a sex scandal/burning rome. interjection. Could you please explain? I am confused about your context. Thanks.

I think that all the World's 'empires' are on the short path to ruin. The out-of-control cutthroat capitalism and out-of-sync political aspirations of the majors player worldwide will cost mankind dearly, in the long run. However, coping with the Stone-age the 2nd time around shouldn't be quite as difficult, as long as the toilet paper mills stay functional.

I don't know, maybe.

However we have faired as bad or worse, the Civil War, the depression, WWII, and Vietnam to mention a few and have somehow always managed to rebound stronger.

Hard to know where all this is really going...

Each of the recoveries involved having a thriving middle class. I don't see how we are going to put THAT humpty dumpty back together again. Please whenever possible...post good news about the middle class rebounding from where it is now, because if we wait 6 months there will be no such news I am afraid.

It is anathema to say, but the BIG eastern countries are looking pretty good and the "west" is encouraging them to partner up. They might be able to get us through the climate crisis and all it's repercussions.

Our foreign policy has lead to this...

4 days ago — Germany and Italy have allowed their energy companies to open accounts with Gazprombank to pay for Russian gas in rubles, reported Reuters.

This will continue to happen. Other countries near Russia will have to start paying in Rubles also.

I find it annoying and presumptuous when the US is referred to as The American Empire.

American policy has been aimed at extending the political, economic and cultural influence of the United States over areas beyond its boundaries(ie: Imperialism). This is U.S.History / Foreign Affairs 101.
The American Empire over the last 150 years:Cuba, Puerto Rico, Guam, the Philippines, the Northern Mariana Islands and American Samoa, as well as the Marshall Islands, Palau, and the Federated States of Micronesia.

This for information and engagement. No need to be offended. As for the reality of America being an Empire, do your own study and find out for yourself. I have, and I am convinced that is what it is and has been for quite awhile now. We could use other words that are much more nice like "spreading democracy", "nation building", "it is our destiny to help the world become a better more compassionate place". I don't believe those statements.

As best I can tell the only information about what is really happening in Ukraine is propaganda.

Not if you go to the right sources: the Ukrainians and Russians who are actually there. These aren't journalists, they're citizens and soldiers. You'll find them easily on YouTube. I watch several almost daily. You'll hear this from them and that from the others, a lot like news at home, and you're free to decide who's perspective and reporting rings like truth or propaganda to you.

That is America's policy, however too many among the powerful go about it the wrong way with the wrong connections/people, and they continually thwart those who have less power but the right ideas.

What are you specifically referring to with the US and the Federated States of Micronesia?

As far as I know, the toughest thing we did to the FSM and 15 other pacific island countries was to help create the South Pacific Tuna Treaty, a treaty that gave the US the task of training islanders how to keep complete, honest data, and to comply with monitoring and surveillance standards for the island’s fisheries, all of which has helped deter illegal, unreported, and unregulated fishing.

As for military engagements, imo it's important to remember that the US hasn't entered into a military conflict alone since 2004, if I remember right. Since then, US military engagements have been part of coalition forces and NATO forces up until 2015, when the US entered Libya to aid in the fight against ISIS. And I believe that's still ongoing.

But I might have missed something...or forgotten something. :unsure:

empires around the planet will go down. ours will, we have way too many humans, we cant manage this.
not enough food not enough land for it which is why they cut down the trees then go AG.
then theres not enough water left now.

free flowing water is gone. at least across the west it is.
the clear cut west had all its water evap'd to move east and rain there.

Use your search engine to find out how much farmland the US has compared to other developed countries, and how much food it exports and imports. You might be surprised.

True, there's been less rainfall and snowfall in the west for well over a decade, and record-high rainfall, snowfall, and ice-storms in various middle and eastern states.
