| | + | :*[[ [Alastair Crooke]]: [ The 'War of Grand Design' Transforms to More Narrowly Bolster US Hegemony]. |
| | + | {{quotebox-float|The networked supra-national stratum that long has pursued its global ‘'[[Grand Design]]’ through manufacturing public consent for wars of imposed compliance has, at last, run up against the limits to power. We are, indeed, at an ‘emperor has no clothes’ moment. All can see it. |
| | | | |
| | + | Its traditional tools — the [[US]] [[military]], the [[dollar]] system, the credit trap, the [[Bretton Woods]] structures, shock [[economic]] therapy and [[currency]] [[war]]s — are failing to preserve the [[US]] [[elitism|élite]] ''weltanschauung'' wherein it would be ‘unimaginable’ that the US having won the [[Cold War]] were it to face a world in which the US did not continue to dictate the blueprint |

| | + | “In the golden light of an [[Athens]] evening, with the [[Acropolis]] over his shoulder”, [[US Secretary of State Marco Rubio]], on 7 October, openly praised [[colonialism]]; he engaged in egregious erasures of [[history]], and demanded a return to [[Western]] domination of the world. Rubio asserted that [[the West]] must use [[military]] force to “maintain its place at the head of the world”; [[the West]] is “the greatest [[civilization]] in the world”, he declared, emphasizing that it is a “civilization that we must fight to defend today with the same passion as our forefathers did”. |

| | + | But now, those traditional tools to preserve its place at the head of the world are proving less effective against states that possess alternatives — [[China]], [[Russia]] and [[Iran]] are clear pointers to the trend that [[economic]], [[financial]] and even [[kinetic]] [[war]]s are failing to produce quick results. Quick victories for the Matrix are no longer so readily available. |
| | + | |
| | + | To suggest, on the other hand, that [[civilisational state]]s could stand up to the [[US]] more forcefully ignores everything about the deep nature of this conflict. The ‘[[One Global Government]] Grand Design’, is a war to eliminate those [[Civilisational States]] that offer a different consciousness through which to view and understand the world.}} |
