Bush Military Official: US Citizens Must Stand Up to Stop the Empire

Washington’s Blog – by Robert Barsocchini

From ‘Empire Files‘: “Abby Martin interviews retired U.S. Army Colonel Lawrence Wilkerson, former national security adviser to the Reagan administration, who spent years as an assistant to Secretary of State Colin Powell during both Bush administrations.”

A few of the points made by Wilkerson:

US’s foreign bases are “colonial, imperial” stations over the globe.

‘The empire… is run by about one percent of the people, if not fewer, in this country, constituting essentially a plutocracy.’

Military officers retire from the military, go to arms manufacturers and media jobs to make the media ‘want war’.

US is ‘oriented towards first what increases its power, and second what makes it rich.’

US military ‘isn’t an all volunteer force. It’s an all-recruited force, because we’re spending billions of dollars to entice these people, who feel that they don’t have many other prospects, into the armed forces.’

What made Wilkerson speak out?  Bush and Cheney both personally encouraged heinous acts like torture and other violations of the Geneva Conventions.

‘Empire never has enough. That’s the nature of imperial power. It never has enough. It never has a stable status quo. It has an increasingly unstable status quo.’

To stop the empire, ‘a powerful minority, or a majority’ of US citizens must ‘stand up … and say, I’ve had enough.  Does that mean revolution? It might.  It might indeed.’

  1. “Empire never has enough. That’s the nature of imperial power.”

    No, that’s the nature of our crooked monetary system.

    When money is loaned to nations at interest, there’s always a shortage of it, because what’s been lent is always less than the loan + interest. This is what’s at the root of endless struggle and competition, and this is what causes the need for endless expansion.

    Off the top of my head (I could be wrong about this), I think you have to go back as far as Alexander the Great to find an empire that wasn’t using the Jew’s crooked money.

  2. “US is ‘oriented towards first what increases its power, and second what makes it rich.’ ”

    Disagree.

    Unless if by “it” you mean the jews.

  3. Ok, Colonel…………………..

    Let’s make a deal, since all y’all w/ Oak Leaves & above, are privy to some pretty good intelligence gathering…how ’bout you guys…start providing “us” … w/ some serious intel-data/info etc…etc.

    We know ’bout the ‘grape-vine’ hush-hush talk…that circulates thru the O-club bars @ 00:30hrs…on most AFBs / Army camps / Squid-harbors….scattered world-wide.
    .
    Hence, y’alls collection of intel…shouldn’t be that difficult to collect, decipher, vet & then distribute / disseminate onto those of us…who know what to do w/ such.

    FYI…..
    We need travel itineraries (times/dates/civilian carriers/flt. #’s etc.),we need their home & vacation addresses, business / political contacts, associates,
    & observed personal habitual patterns….their body-guard / security competency & comm frequencies of such… what clubs / orgs. do they haunt, any fetishes or routines that stand out….I could go on ‘ad-infinitum’….but you know the drill, yes?

    We know ‘who’ the enemy is/are….we simply require up-to-date, near real-time monitoring info…

    ———

    Sadly, the “starred-cowards” of our current active duty command structure….. lacking the courage to remove the current Marxist regime…necessitates the likely obligation of….former senior NCO’s…

    ..having to cover your ..(but, my retirement benefits!!!) asses…one more Gawd-damned (last) time!!!!!!

    …if you’re for real, you know the contact protocol…

    …otherwise, … f*ck-off…sir.
