Crumbling Empire Lashes Out at Vassals

Watch this week’s False Flag Weekly News above. At the 48’46” mark Helen Buyniski begins discussing her new article “Invasion of the Country-Snatchers: The AI-powered surveillance state is un-American. Literally.”

You can tell an empire is collapsing when it starts cannibalizing its vassals. And you can tell it’s losing control of its vassals when it has to threaten to “bomb the shit out of them.”

Both conditions pertain to the Zio-American empire circa 2026. Last week, Trump, our American Caligula, exploded in obscene threats against US vassal Oman, and a hysterical diatribe against another vassal, South Korea. Neither vassal wants to mindlessly obey Trump’s most insane orders. Neither wants to be frog-marched into the front lines of Trump’s long-lost war on Iran. But both are working overtime to try to cooperate with the US, but get rewarded by vicious tirades from American’s rabid-baboon-in-chief. Oliver Boyd-Barrett summed it up in a headline: “US Gangland Chief Threatens to Blow Up Ally Oman, Befriend North Against South Korea, Sends Realtor Flunkey to Greenlight Genocide.” My only beef with that headline is that “realtor” is a euphemism for “Jewish gangster.”

CNN and other liberal media present these antics as if they were just symptoms of Trump’s madness. But the US began attacking and devouring its vassals under Biden, who ordered the destruction of Germany’s industrial lifeline, the Nordstream pipeline. Indeed, the whole US-orchestrated war on Russia through Ukraine is actually a disguised war on Germany and the EU, which, like China, would be a dangerous competitor to the Zio-Americans if it were thriving and independent.

For decades, the US dominated the world by presiding over an empire of contented vassals. The most important bloc of vassals was the EU. It could be reliably counted on to back Washington, embraced US occupation by hosting military bases, and in return was granted modest prosperity. When Biden blew up Nordstream, strangling German industry by doubling the price it paid for energy—US-produced LPG, not cheap Russian piped gas—the gargantuan involuntary wealth transfer from the EU to the US announced a new era, AIBO: the American Imperial Bust-Out.

What is a bust-out? There is no better introduction than this article by Indi.ca, which I quote:

The Mafianomics business model is simple, and what is happening is called a bust-out. You take over a business—when the owner gets into your debt or comes to you for protection against someone else—and then start running up bills on the joint’s credit. When the debts overwhelm the actual business you burn it and move onto the next one. You light a match. This is the colonial business model writ small.

In the exact same way, the White mafia has ‘busted-out’ entire continents. They corrupt local compradors, debt trap entire nations, strip the resources, and then ‘light a match.’ They have done this to every country on Earth and now there’s nothing left to bust-out, so they’re cannibalizing the imperial periphery (Europe, the UAE) before descending on their own corpse.

Will the US invade Canada to grab Alberta’s oil and gas? Or sponsor a secessionist movement there? Will it steal Greenland from Denmark and the EU? Will it demand exorbitant protection money from South Korea and Japan? Will it continue raping not just Venezuela, but the rest of Latin America?

Such treatment of “allies” (in reality, vassals) gives them a strong incentive to leave the empire, make alliances with the empire’s enemies, and band together for protection. America’s Persian Gulf vassals are on the brink of doing that—the topic of my interview yesterday on Press TV.

The empire’s frenzy approaches critical mass. It lashes out wildly and chaotically, with ever-more-obscene abandon.

The writing is on the wall. It’s almost over.

But will the Epstein class go down without taking the world with it?
