The end of the American empire – Stage 6 of 7

It has been evident that the era of scientific achievements has now passed, it has taken two Republican governments to seal the faith of science as a cornerstone of the American system. Don't believe me, look at who leads the nation today; lawyers and idiots – think Robert Kennedy or the recent candidate to the CDC – obvious examples of people who are driven by ego and "truthiness" rather than the cold reality of science.  


The seven stages are:


  • The Age of Pioneers: Small, energetic nations burst onto the world stage with high courage, dynamic leadership, and a strong sense of collective purpose.
  • The Age of Conquests: Territorial and political expansion through military might, building upon the momentum of the pioneer phase.
  • The Age of Commerce: Great enterprise and trade flourish, bringing massive influxes of wealth and transforming the nation into a global economic hub.The Age of Affluence: Wealth peaks and comfort becomes widespread; however, greed begins to replace public duty, and civic responsibility gives way to self-interest.
  • The Age of Intellect: Society focuses heavily on academic debate, cleverness, and theorizing rather than action, which gradually fractures shared traditional values.
  • The Age of Decadence: Characterized by materialism, obsession with celebrity culture/frivolity, pessimism, a weakening of social cohesion, and shirked civic duties.
  • The Age of Decline and Collapse: Final internal fragmentation, economic distress, and loss of power render the nation vulnerable to external pressures or implosion.

Everyone recognizes these various stages of America's growth and now decline.  Funny enough the one aspect of America that would delay the decline and collapse, its powerful and effective military is now proven to be an albatross to the nation.   Think about it for a minute, in the war with Iran, America has consumed more than 50% of its weapons.  It has parked its aircraft carriers in the red sea far away from the conflict zone.  Worse, it is getting its ass quicked by  Iran. Let's be clear, Iran is not a good place, and its leadership has a lot to answer for.   There is no doubt in anyone's mind that Iran has been the major source of destabilisation in the Middle East.   

What is interesting, is that the world's two major powers have been dominated by upstarts, Ukraine and Iran.   Both countries have strong scientific backgrounds.  With nearly the same size of population.   Against Russia 220 million and America 350 million, and where America spends more on its military than the next 18 countries combined.  Yet they are getting their asses kicked.

In addition, America had friendly acquaintances in Europe, at best today they are hostil powers that view the United States as a global threat.   How things have changed!  Yesterday Italy told America to get stuffed, no more use of Italian bases to refuel their aircraft going to the gulf.  Lets not forget the italians were the FRIENDLIEST of the bunch (well maybe Hungary too before the change of government).   

Anyone looking at the seven stages can see that America is now truly inside the 6th stage – the Age of decadence, starting with the kleptocraft in chief and all his minions looking for the easy graft.  Trump even offered, in exchange for a monthly payment, to create a "road to insider trading" with the support of the White House.  

Iran is showing that America's military might may be far less imposing than anyone believes, it is entirely possible that the emperor has no clothes.

The end of Tesla?

 it takes a special kind of idiot, to think that he can antagonize his entire customer base, and think that it will not impact his business. When Elon Musk went to work for Donald Trump, and created the doge department, he antagonized every liberal, and these people represent 90% of his client base.That’s not a brilliant move. Now Elon Musk is worth hundreds of billions of dollar, so he shouldn’t care a great deal, however, he needs to care because of several other issues. The cyber truck has been a disaster, most have had to be recalled because of defective glue, it’s not a truck, it’s not a car, it’s noisy, relatively uncomfortable, but great as a development platform. What Tesla has learned in making car manufacturing more seamless is truly amazing. The problem was that Elon Musk was so pissed with the Democrats, and with Joe Biden, in particular because of some slight, which were just plain stupid too. By the way, that he decided to support with hundreds of millions of dollar, ...

Donald Trump‘s bad bargain

 The entire of 2023 and 2024 when Donald Trump was running for the White House, his mantra was no war, that the Ukraine conflict would be resolved in a day, and that he would do everything not to involve America and war. How the world has changed! He finds himself facing three conflicts; Ukraine, still going on almost 5 months after he became president. Gaza, an unspeakable crime against humanity, is obviously going to go all the way to its bitter end. And finally, Israel’s attack against Iran. It’s important to note, that Benjamin Netanyahu first indicated at the United nation that the Iranian were 3 to 5 years away from having the nuclear bomb. He made that statement in 1995. Therefore, no one is surprised that he uses the same two lines every so often. It’s entirely possible, that 30 years after he first announced it, that Iran has finally developed the bomb. It’s also remarkable that Iran, local power has been destroyed, from Yemen, to Syria, via Lebanon and Gaza to small exten...

TACO again, but worst!

 Donald Trump got the rare earth metals that he had thrown away on April 2, liberation day as he called it. What did the Chinese get in exchange? The whole deal, is on the wrap right now. But let’s be clear. It’s the Chinese that have the upper hand.Some of the materials made by the Chinese, are simply unavailable anywhere else. suspicions are that the Chinese got the high-end chips that they lost under Biden. Tariffs will probably return to the level of April 1, and in the end Donald and his friends got nothing for it. It gets worse, Chinese exports to United States are down 40%. The Chinese have found new markets, I probably never gonna buy American grain again. Once again, Donald Trump proved he’s a great negotiator. He got absolutely nothing for his Showmanship. He told the world, that everyone would come and kiss his ass, instead they’re laughing At him. There’s no joke about Donald Trump, a 25 and inherited a huge fortune and proceeded to make it a small one. Bottom line, the...
