The Empire Self Destructs: America is on the Brink!
The Empire Self Destructs: America is on the Brink!
Akhbar Elyom, Egypt
By Ibrahim Qa'oud
Translated By Andy Allred
August 23, 2007


The dominance of U.S. power is part of its weakness, which is why the American Empire's collapse bears a direct resemblance to the fall of the Roman Empire. With the arrival of new centers of power on the global scene, the countdown to the end of America's global hegemony has begun. Sudden and dramatic changes threaten it with economic collapse, while at the same time, American moral values are disintegrating - to be replaced only with "laws of the jungle” which prevailed before modern history.

The bloodshed that has begun to afflict the American giant is inhibiting its capacity to act and is speeding its collapse. Bush is hammering the nails into America's coffin by carrying out the policies of conceited right-wing interests, which hold that they carry a divine message for all human beings!! Nearly everyone has abandoned him to drown alone, particularly his architect and brain, Karl Rove.

Russia, China, India, Japan and Iran now threaten to impose the surname "Former" on the uni-polar world. Meanwhile, America's social fabric is coming apart and disintegrating due to racism and hatred that has been lurking deep within!

2. All this talk equating American’s collapse to the fall of the Roman Empire is preposterous...
... but amusing.

3. The ruination of our country by the...
...AIPAC/PNAC Neocons who illegitimately seized power seven years ago is quite intentional. They want absolute dictatorial power and if that means the nation must first be torn apart with false flag operations and illegal wars, then that's just what it will have to mean, so long as they achieve their aim of the totalitarian state under their rule.
