I was at a recent Bible study, and my pastor made a comment that the United States is not an empire, because we don’t have troops marching all over the world.
In one respect he’s right… we don’t have armies marching into other nations like Nazi Germany invading the Soviet Union in 1941, or the Roman Empire invading Gaul. But in reality, he’s wrong. He is wrong largely due to ignorance of how the Globalist American Empire (GAE) works.
Historically, empires were founded on one primary principle… a high birthrate. Julian Simon, in his groundbreaking book The Ultimate Resource argues that human beings are the most important resource for any nation, and the world in general. His essential premise is that people take raw materials and fashion them into usable products that can make life better.
When a nation builds an empire, it’s because their population is expanding rapidly. A classic example was ancient Rome during the Republic period, and a more recent example was the creation of the British empire. Yet, as the wealth of the empire grows, birthrates tend to decline and thus the empire wanes.1 By the time of the late Roman empire, the Roman armies were manned more by so-called “barbarian” migrants than by native-born Roman citizens.
But today’s Globalist American Empire is different, and there are two key reasons why, and the two reasons work hand-in-glove. The first is a banking system that allows for the printing of “free” money, and the second is the use of foreign populations as a substitute for American boots on the ground.
The creation of the Federal Reserve in 1913 allowed a privately owned central bank to engage in fractional reserve banking and thus help generate unsecured currency. By the end of World War II, the American dollar became the world’s reserve currency. These two events allowed for globalists in the United States, along with their cousins in Britain and Europe, to use the dollar as a weapon of empire building. The United States could now politically capture a foreign nation, either through direct bribes of its leaders or by giving their nation foreign aid, that they in turn embezzle for the gain of themselves and their closest friends.2
The United States then demands something in return. First, the nation is open to American big businessmen who then move in to exploit the natural resources of the politically captured nation. The second, is the captured nation must place its populace at the disposal to American foreign policy, with the caveat that they must accept our evil and perverse social “norms.” These captured peoples are held as a reserve, as the American globalists launch “color revolutions” to overthrow the governments of nations not yet captured, and whose leaders have refused American bribes. Should the color revolution fail, then a politically captured neighbor is pushed to wage direct war with the stubborn foreign entity that refuses to bow the knee to American globalists.
So what is the role of the United States’ military in all this? They are the elite, the GAE’s version of the Roman Empire’s Praetorian Guard, being the force thrown in at a critical moment to achieve regime change and politically capture a nation when a color revolution fails and the proxy’s battlefield efforts fall short. Concurrently, this elite maintains a series of bases throughout the world, installations that serve as operational and logistical nodes to launch operations whenever and wherever necessary. In this manner, the American people are kept happy… there are few, if any, body bags coming home and yet American globalists can achieve their agenda to plunder the resources of other nations.3
This is how the system works since the end of World War II. It started out gradually, but has now reached a fever pitch. The war against Russia in Ukraine is now the “crown jewel” of this system, where a nation of 40 million were deceived and manipulated into waging a war with a larger neighbor, just as little Georgia was manipulated to do so in 2008. Indeed, these “forever wars” and “regime change operations” were a few of the key catalysts that propelled Donald Trump to the White House.
But the GAE is a stubborn beast, refusing to give up their gravy train and the obsession with shedding the blood of “lesser” peoples. And thus, President Trump has been roped into their orbit. Whether he was a part of this system from the get-go, or got drawn into it later, is immaterial. The American people have once more been conned by an elite who are determined to… literally… rule the world.
As an aside, go back and re-read the U.S. Declaration of Independence. Look carefully at the charges leveled against the British Crown. And when you read it, read it through the eyes of somebody living in Ukraine, or Iran, or Venezuela, or Niger, or even Germany and France, with the charges now leveled against the United States. And then ask yourself, “what do I see here?” We are now doing to other nations in spades, what our forebears complained of regarding the British Crown in 1776.
The GAE runs into a serious obstacle when it encounters a nation that has nuclear weapons, or one whose populations and economies are very large and dynamic. Moreover, fewer and fewer nations are going along with this scheme. As the American globalists get into a tizzy over their stymied attempts to subjugate others, and as they double down on their efforts… Alexander Mercouris of The Duran notes that they have “no reverse gear”… the rest of the world will get so weary of our machinations that they will banned together to destroy us.
And when they do, the resulting war will go to nuclear weapons. And the United States, once a “city on a hill” and a product of the Christian worldview, will go the way of all other empires…
… except it will die in a pile of radioactive ash.

1 There are many who have postulated a host or theories for this. However, I postulate that the primary reason is that increased wealth creates more leisure time… and leisure allows many to engage in “extra curricular” activities, sexual and otherwise, that have nothing to do with maintaining the birthrate.
2 Past empires have co-opted other nations, but they typically incorporated them into the empire’s army, such as Rome creating foreign auxiliaries or the British having colonial troops. And of course, many empires have raised mercenary forces. Some have used proxies on a small scale, but never at the level done by the United States today.
3 One is reminded of the infamous whiteboard inscription that said, “America is not at war. The Marine Corps is at war; America are at the mall.”
