The U.S. Regime’s Plans to Control the World

Eric Zuesse (blogs at https://theduran.com/author/eric-zuesse/)

The U.S. Government’s plans to control the world are displayed not merely by its lie-based invasions, such as against Iraq in 2003, and against Libya in 2011, and against Syria in 2012; but also by its coups, such as against Honduras in 2009, and against Venezuela in 2012 and again in 2019, and against Ukraine in 2014; and by its sanctions, such as against Iran, Venezuela, Russia, Iraq, and Syria; all of which kill and destroy millions of people, and produce tens of millions of refugees, etc.

An excellent example of the planning that the U.S. Government devotes to expanding still further its empire — the lands that it controls, America’s colonies or ‘allies’ — was provided in a 28 February 2023 hearing by the House Appropriations Committee, Subcommittee on ‘Defense’ (Aggression):

Betty McCollum, the leading Democrat on the Subcommittee, addressed the U.S. Secretary of ‘Defense’ (Aggression), Lloyd Austin: 

As General Milley [Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff] said, we don't go to war alone. So if we include Australia, Canada, NATO, you know, all the great powers that we work with, we would have a multiplying effect that neither China or Russia has.

    Would that be a fair statement, Secretary Austin or General Milley?

    Secretary Austin: That is, in fact, correct, Ranking Member McCollum. We will always fight with our allies and partners. And, again, the capability that they bring to the table magnifies our overall capability. So you could expect that in any instance we would be able to draw upon some of their capability as well. So we work on a routine basis to make sure that we are interoperable and make sure that----

    Ms. McCollum: Thank you. Thank you.

    I would like you to, a little, go into more importance on the recent--on February 2, the agreement that you signed with the Philippines, whichever one of you gentlemen want to answer that.

    President Marcos seems to have made some deliberate decisions to align more closely with the United States' interests and away from China. Could you kind of tell the committee more about this agreement with the Philippines and how you see it enhancing our efforts in the region, because I think this goes back to the whole question of the multiplying effect of having resources that China and Russia do not have, and if there are any other nations in Indo-Pac that you see wanting to align more closely with the United States. …

    Secretary Austin: Well, I was, as a matter of fact, out in the Philippines and engaged the President on this particular issue. And I was really pleased that the President made the decision to move forward and increase the number of sites where we could work along with the Philippine forces to increase interoperability and develop their skills as well. And it is actually a benefit to them, as you know. So this really is a significant movement forward. …

    General Milley: Just two points. One is you are correct on the allies and partners, Australia, Japan, but there are many other countries there as well, to include European countries. We have done exercises with the Brits and the French also in the Asia-Pacific region. So they are force multipliers.

    Secondly is our sub force, which is rarely talked about, and I am not going to talk about it in detail right now, but our sub force is incredibly--submarine force--incredibly capable and very deadly and extremely lethal. So those two pieces I think would make a huge difference and help deter any kind of aggression by China.

    The last thing is the Philippines, but the Philippines and other countries in that region, they sit astride the key sea lines of communication that China relies on for their international access to the Middle East oil, et cetera, et cetera.

    So those allies and partners of ours are fundamental. …

    The strategic end state [in Ukraine] is [that] the [U.S.-required] global rules-based [not U.N. laws-based] international order, that was put in place [by Truman] in 1945, is upheld. How do you do that? How do you know you have achieved that end state? You achieve that end state when Ukraine remains a free, sovereign, independent country with their territory intact. And then you know the rules base was upheld.

    If that rules-based order, which is in its 80th year, if that goes out the window, then be very careful. We will be doubling our defense budgets at that point, because that will introduce not an era of great power competition. That will begin an era of great power conflict, and that will be extraordinarily dangerous for the whole world.

General Milley also said:

    Our joint force is the most lethal and capable military in the world. Our troops are the best-led, best-equipped, and best-trained force anywhere because of your support. So thank you for what you have done. And yet again, I ask that you support this year's request with an on-time budget approval.

    Our mission, the mission of the uniformed military and our purpose is very simple. It is to defend the United States of America.

In other words (according to this “global rules-based international order”): Invading Iraq and Syria and Libya, and arming Ukraine against Russia, and arming Israel against the Palestinians, and arming Taiwan against China (of which even the official U.S. policy is “The United States acknowledges that … there is but one China and that Taiwan is a part of China”) etc., is being done “to defend the United States of America.” Adolf Hitler likewise said that what he was doing was necessary in order “to Defend Germany.”

Excellent insights into this are provided by Fritz Pointer, brother to Anita Pointer of the Pointer Sisters, in his article that I received by email on August 29th, which opens:

American Propaganda Brings Memories of Nazi Germany

By Fritz Pointer, submitted to DWF NEWS 

Today the basic method of American propagandistic activity, as in Nazi Germany, is in the omission of important facts, and false presentation of facts: (e.g. Mexican immigrants are rapists, drug dealers and criminals, Palestinians beheaded babies), the dissemination of provocative lies (e.g. America is a white man’s country, Israel is a democracy,) and the systematic deception of public opinion (Americans want endless wars for national security, Russia is our eternal enemy, and maybe China too). 

Such false “media reports” are as necessary to the US for the realization of its plans for military and economic global domination, as are the production of military equipment and the drafting of military plans. “They are coming to get you”: “The Enemy is at the Gate”: “They hate your way of life”: “Better to fight Them over there, than here”: and this latest one, I offer, for media: “Palestine has a Right to Defend Itself”.

Without deliberately spreading lies and rumors, attacking freedom of the press and of speech and arresting journalists, it would not be possible for American endless wars to pursue their stated goal of “full-spectrum global domination” and to put in practice the war crimes and crimes against humanity of which it is guilty.  In this U.S. propaganda system, it is the daily press and television that are the most important weapons and are all as guilty of war crimes as Hans Fritzsche and the propaganda work he did for the Nazis. [Denazification proceedings after the IMT, brought forth evidence against the intensely anti-Semitic Fritsche that had been hidden — perhaps by Americans — from the prosecutors there, and so he then became sentenced in a German court in 1947 to 8 years in prison; then he got a pardon in 1950 in West Germany, and remained a deeply committed Nazi till his death in West Germany in 1953.]

Today, [without] the role of the American press in habituating the American people to the suffering of other peoples and, even, urging war crimes, like extrajudicial murder and assassinations of a country’s leader; it is possible that many Americans would never have participated in or tolerated the atrocities being committed throughout the Middle East, had they not been conditioned, inured, goaded, and manipulated by constant media propaganda and lies.  The media’s very success in manipulating public opinion is one of the strongest proofs of its culpability in the commission of war crimes.

In Craig Mokhiber's  8/24/24 article in Mondoweiss: “Western Media can be Legally Accountable of Gaza Genocide”, Mokhiber punctuates and embellishes my concern here with a focus on Israel/Palestine.  He first notes that “the Israeli genocide machine in Palestine, and the direct complicity of the U.S., UK, and other Western governments, are two key pillars in the horrors being perpetrated against the Palestinian people.” 

He continues: “But there is a third pillar: the role of complicit Western media corporations knowingly disseminating Israeli disinformation and propaganda, justifying war crimes and crimes against humanity, dehumanizing Palestinians, and blocking out information on the genocide in the West.”  Lying deliberately and by omission. Providing just enough information for people to think they’re right; but not the knowledge to know they’re wrong.

So, for example, the Democratic National Convention (DNC), this August 2024, welcomed on stage, a Jewish family of one of the 109 hostages being held by Hamas as the cameras spanned the sniffling, and sobbing general audience. There was not one Palestinian allowed to say a word about the more than 100,000 killed by the (IDF) Israeli Defense Forces (as per recent Lancet numbers).

Helping to exterminate Palestinians, a Final Solution

Any ordinary, reasonable and prudent person knows that the U.S. cannot be a neutral or objective negotiator for peace when it is supplying literally billions of dollars in military hardware, intelligence, manpower, etc. to the Israeli side of the conflict. In effect, saying to Americans and the world, “We share the Zionists’ view of you, Palestinians, as ‘human animals.’ That is why we are helping them as much as we can to exterminate you – a Final Solution. We support Israel unconditionally.”

Then, out of the other side of their mouths, offering platitudes to the Palestinians about Israel’s right to defend itself; and you, Palestinians, don’t have that right; you must accept your apartheid condition, your ‘inferior’ human status, without complaining and certainly not fighting; perhaps you could sing an updated version of “We Shall Overcome”? ...

All of the members of the House’s Subcommittee on Aggression agreed with all of this aggression everywhere. Though there are two Parties in the U.S. Congress, there is unanimity in support of more and more and more U.S. aggression. Like in Hitler’s Germany, all of official Washington, and all of the ‘acceptable’ media, support it.

The only thing that is not yet known about the U.S. regime’s plans to control the world is whether or not it’s willing to destroy even the entire world (in a nuclear war against Russia and/or China) in order to achieve this. (An article of mine on 29 August 2024 argued that the answer is probably yes, that the U.S. Government is willing, and is preparing, to do that.) However, one thing that’s virtually assured in advance, is: neither Russia nor China would ever willingly accept to become another country’s colony. Nobody can say whether there will be a WW3; but, if it will happen, then it will be because the U.S. regime will have forced it to happen — either by doing it itself (blitz-nuking the other’s central command), or else by giving the other side no other option than to initiate it (blitz-nuke) against the United States. The obviousness of the fraudulence of the U.S. Department of Aggression being called instead the “Department of Defense” is simply blatant — it’s proven by all of post-1945 U.S. history, especially after 9/11. The U.S. Government, at least in recent times, is a fraudulent ‘democracy’.

Investigative historian Eric Zuesse’s latest book, AMERICA’S EMPIRE OF EVIL: Hitler’s Posthumous Victory, and Why the Social Sciences Need to Change, is about how America took over the world after World War II in order to enslave it to U.S.-and-allied billionaires. Their cartels extract the world’s wealth by control of not only their ‘news’ media but the social ‘sciences’ — duping the public.

What All of the Billionaires-Controlled ‘News’-Media Hide

Eric Zuesse (blogs at https://theduran.com/author/eric-zuesse/)

Both of America’s political Parties are as corrupt as can be, and represent all of the corrupt industries that fund their winning politicians’ careers, and most especially these winning politicians represent Lockheed Martin and the other megacorporations which sell ONLY to the U.S. Government and its colonies (‘allies’), so that they need “perpetual war for perpetual ‘peace’”. This corruption benefits the funding billionaires (who control those ‘defense’ contractors) at the expense of the U.S. public; and, so, America — now that this country has become SO corrupt — needs a Second American Revolution, in order to disempower the gangsters (those living vampires) who basically control the U.S. Government.

On August 21st, a great and patriotic American, Colonel Douglas Macgregor, was interviewed by the retired Judge Andrew Napolitano, “LIVE! - Col. Douglas Macgregor: How the Ukraine War Will End”, and Napolitano asked, and got honest and highly informed answers on, the most urgent problem in the world, which is: Can WW3 still be averted, and, if so, how? Here is that interview:

LIVE! - Col. Douglas Macgregor: How the Ukraine War Will End

On August 28th, I headlined “The U.S. Govt. Now Definitely Wants WW3 Against Russia” and cited a leading independent scholar of Russia, who quoted from a Russian military veteran who now is a member of Russia’s Senate, saying that the invasion of Kursk in Russia is by Ukrainian troops under U.S. command.

On March 7th, I headlined “Biden Now Seeks WW3 Against Russia, Says High U.S. Defense Expert”. That expert was virtually predicting the U.S. Government would get Ukrainian troops armed and guided by the U.S. to invade Russia and, from there, to blitz-attack The Kremlin. Now it seems to be what Washington (Biden) is planning. And it might happen very soon.

On August 14th, I headlined “The world is far closer to nuclear annihilation than the ‘Doomsday Clock’ shows”, and documented that the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists and their “Doomsday Clock” showing the consensus opinion of ‘atomic scientists’ regarding the current danger or threat-level or urgent warning about there soon being a WW3, is so fraudulent that even during the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis, the clock was not reset closer to “midnight” (WW3), and that it has never been at all “scientific,” but instead represents the U.S. Government, its own Deep State, which treats Russia — not America — as being the global aggressor-Government. It’s so crazy that even after the U.S. Government’s coup in February 2014 which replaced Ukraine’s democratically elected neutralist President by a U.S.-appointed rabidly anti-Russian leader of that nation, which has the closest border of all to The Kremlin a mere 317 miles from it, there was no mention of this cataclysmic event, which now is widely recognized to have created the war in Ukraine that threatens to trigger WW3. When the Clock was reset in 2015 after it, no mention was even made of Ukraine. The announcement “January 2015 Doomsday Clock Annual Statement” devoted almost all of its 6 pages to global warming instead — an issue irrelevant to (and far less urgent than) what that clock had been set up to measure, which is WW3-risk. The rest of it bemoaned the lack of progress toward arms-control agreements. The actual hot war that America had started in 2014 against Russia was ignored. They couldn’t have done a better job for America’s ‘Defense’ firms if they had been hired by it. They are a ‘charity’ PR front for that industry, parading as-if they were peaceniks. Their track-record is scandalous. I wrote to them about this, requesting a response. They never replied.

And, ALL of these things are hidden by all of the billionaires-controlled ‘news’-media. This proves that a Second American Revolution is now necessary. Because democracy cannot exist when the censorship within a nation is THIS extreme.
