America is a falling empire. War is imminent

really the signs are all over the place. we are currently in a recession, with the collapse of sub prime loans, and the dollar falling to historic lows. The country of Dubai Just bought 20% of the NASDAQ stock market. so, yeah, economy is falling.
furthermore it would seem that there is a new war brewing over in the middle east. This time involving Iran, Syria, turkey, and Israel backed by the USA.
There has been an increase of pre-war rhetoric that is very similar to the rhetoric that we heard before the beginning of the Iraq War. Furthermore there has been a very large escalation of military readiness and aggression between Israel And Syria.
Most recently Israel bombed something out in the desert in Syria. Some say it was a weapons cache, possibly of nuclear material donated from N. Korea. possibly conventional weapons. one thing that is known for sure is that the united states aided Israel with Intelligence prior to this act.
Israel is so tense right now that they actually scrambled fighters over a small possibility of an air attack from Syria, which turned out to be a flock of birds.... They are definitely awaiting a military response to their attack inside Syria.
http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=070921083056.g92owiam&show_article=1
it just looks so unstable....
Oh also, Russia has once again began keeping a strategic contingent of nuclear weapons in flight at all times. their fighters are also constantly breaching airspace over the EU. fighters have been scrambled several times from the EU to shadow these Russian flights.
Then about a week ago, Russia detonated the largest ever non nuclear weapon, called the FOAB, mocking the usa's MOAB. basically it was a large fuel air bomb.
Oil is also at an all time high, over $80 a barrel.
its all so scrambled. people taking sides... it just looks like conflict is imminent.

In such times as ours however, when there is too much order, too much m management, too much programming and control, it becomes the duty of superior men and women and women to fling their favorite monkey wrenches into the machinery. To relieve the repression of the human spirit, they must sow doubt and disruption" "People do it every day, they talk to themselves ... they see themselves as they'd like to be, they don't have the courage you have, to just run with it."

I keep thinking of something I remember my grumpy crusty ol history teacher sayin in high school - the sign of a failing empire is one that fields a mercenary army...all this Blackwater talk really brings that quote back to mind

Happy you finally figured it out. America, along with every other country will fall.
People have believed America would not make it ever since it claimed independence. I don't understand why people keep bring up the whole issue with america is going to hell. None of this shit is knew. We have gone through it before and, in my personal opinion, we will make it through fine. Its a giant cycle.
The past always seems so much better then it was. (That the best part about it!) Well it was just as fucked up as it is now and we will continue to be as fucked up in the future. There will always be hero's, villains, wars, and peace. (of course, we can hope technology will help us direct these very deep instincts towards something other then the earth/other people.)

I'm looking forward to a massive collapse that surpasses even the bleakest of economic worst case scenarios.
I want to see Americans sneaking into Mexico and canada in search of a better life.

my beliefs go against serving the army of this country.
aka if they do by some small chance get a gun in my hand it will accidently go off in the wrong direction. or maybe ill rampage somewhere else
bottom line is i didn't start any war and i don't know who did or why were really their. I won't chance killing an inocient and being dammed for eternity

It might be cool if America broke up into smaller countries. It's the Federal government that wastes all our money on their bullshit. I would love not to have to be in the same country as some of these assholes who want to have a Christian fundamentalist republic.

The one true religion, is to not create any war of any kind on Earth!
So we'd better go collect all of those Bic lighters from all those poor dead Christians!

Fuck cleaning up the mess, our country itself is in a mess. We've got a lot of work to do to this country before it's even close to ready to fix up any mess outside of its country, whether it be its own mess (like this case) or someone elses mess (I have no examples...)

And dammit! I missed my favorite hurricane, so we ducked out to New Orleans a year early, and I landed in the middle of a shitstorm of Rainbow pride, masquerading as a party, a year early, dammit, so I could save my whole fucking family!
And so along came Jack and Jill! my favorite family of Flintstones!
