People are doing something. They're getting smoked. The only thing that matters to the power structure is money. Profit from guns, profit from oil, profit from pharmaceuticals and health care. America is full of consumers that slave for a system designed to exploit them. The victims of mass shootings, the sacrificial lambs of a manufactured war on terrorism, the ever increasing opiate addiction of the populace are nothing more than collateral damage to the people who run the business of America.
Louis Gomert had a chart:
Very disappointed that he missed the very important way Pizzagate and the death of Vince Foster is related to all this.
Why does the chart list Obama on his own multiple times?
Fate of Empires
Glubb's summary at the end of the essay:
(a) We do not learn from history because our studies are brief and prejudiced.
(b) In a surprising manner, 250 years emerges as the average length of national greatness.
(c) This average has not varied for 3,000 years. Does it represent ten generations?
(d) The stages of the rise and fall of great nations seem to be:
The Age of Pioneers (outburst)
The Age of Conquests
The Age of Commerce
The Age of Affuence
The Age of Intellect
The Age of Decadence.
Decadence is marked by:
Defensiveness
Pessimism
Materialism
Frivolity
An infux of foreigners
The Welfare State
A weakening of religion.
(f) Decadence is due to:
Too long a period of wealth and power
Selfshness
Love of money
The loss of a sense of duty.
(g) The life histories of great states are amazingly similar, and are due to internal factors.
(h) Their falls are diverse, because they are largely the result of external causes.
(i) History should be taught as the history of the human race, though of course with emphasis on the history of the student’s own country.
AMERICA IS NOT IMMUNE.

And what's he doing today?

That's not doing anything ... except accepting the outcome and dying.
