SECTION 2/10: How did the U.S. reach this seemingly insurmountable position? Part 1/4: Historical Roots and Corporate-Imperial Loop When a government prioritizes the interests of corporations, financial institutions, and the most privileged and wealthy elites within its society, it should not be surprising that such a trajectory has unfolded; indeed, from a historical perspective, it should have been expected. The allure of wealth accumulation manifested through the usurpation of land, natural resources, commodities, and human resources (stealing or destroying other nations’ intellectual talents) becomes irresistible when wielded through dominant military means. After all, from a short-term perspective, the military approach has historically and consistently yielded the highest return on “investment” for the victors — hence the U.S. post-1945 evolution into a global enforcer for corporate interests. Such an arrangement enables the U.S., U.K., and E.U. to easily issue new currencies to finance these military conflicts against relatively deficient opponents who usually lacked the resolve and means to fight back due to Western threats of potential nuclear retaliation combined with often limited military capabilities (Iraq 2003, Libya 2011, Syria 2011-present, etc.). Furthermore, with the help of international banks, these Western governments are able to manipulate domestic inflation rates by distributing extra currencies to other countries for international trade (as reserve currencies). This has often been achieved through lobbying and bribing sponsored regimes in targeted nations combined with importing vast quantities of products and commodities for domestic consumption. Over time, these countries, particularly the U.S., discovered the effectiveness of these inflation “management” strategies and gradually shifted their import preference to disposable/replaceable products in order to maintain continual domestic consumption, thereby maintaining a continual outflow of Western currencies. This configuration constitutes an elaborate Ponzi scheme requiring perpetual expansion. Like all such schemes, its sustainability depends entirely on the faith of participants – a faith now shattered by the rise of alternative financial architectures: Russia’s commodity-backed ruble, and China’s yuan-based development projects, combined with a BRICS alternative payment system, demonstrate the reserve currency’s accelerating unraveling. The empire can no longer mask its insolvency through monetary trickery alone.
