Is America Committing the Sin of Athens?

Guest Post by Martin Armstrong

This is the growing view of the United States thanks to the Neocons who are always scheming and want nothing but endless wars because they cannot sleep at night without hating someone as an enemy. Robert McNamara (1916 – 2009) who was a Neocon, at least repented for how he was wrong and let the country into a Vietnam War.  This Indian politician is explaining a view of America from the outside that I hear all the time, but you will never see it in the American press. It is deeply concerning for just as the propaganda has been turned up against Putin leading to unprecedented hatred of the Russian people, there is a major risk that the Neocons are turning the world to hate the American people as well. That is the requirement for World War III.

The Pelopesdian War that ended in the defeat of Athens in 404BC has ere parallels to our current situation. Athens had defeated the Persian invasion. They then established a league of nations where various Greek city-states paid tribute to Athens to protect them from another possible invasion that never came. The arrogance of Athens was crowned when they took the treasury of Delos and moved it to Athens. They then funded the construction of their acropolis.

The Peloponnesian War (430–404 BC) was fought between the Delian League led by Athens and the Peloponnesian League, which Sparta led. The cost of the 26-year war led to the first major debasement in monetary history. The Athenian Owl, which was the reserve currency of the known world which many countries issued imitations for commerce, was reduced from silver to bronze silver plated.

Here we are already starting to see unprecedented inflation running at 40% in many places.  The arrogance that brought down Athens has infected Washington, DC and our politicians think they can sanction the world and they will all tremble.

Athens also followed the Economic Confidence Model perfectly. We are now following that same cyclical model into our day of destiny – 2032. The West will lose its power just as Athens. There will be a new world order, but it will not be Schwab’s Great Reset. The power will shift to China just as it shifted from Athens to Sparta.

Video was great. The history lesson didn’t quite tie it all together. Would have liked to understand more about the folks in the video and the purpose of their debate… Chip

Don’t think so. Xi is not a team player. He wants it all.

We are in this mess precisely because the Atlanticists support neocon fantasies and see themselves, that is the WEF crowd, as taking out Russia, seizing its resources, and taking out the CCP to replace them in order to exploit the cheap labor for themselves. All to be done on the backs and blood of the Deplorables.

At least the chap in the video had something refreshing to say.

Pride goeth before the fall comes to mind for Evil Fucker regimes. And sooner rather than later.

Yes, I believe that most of the world is starting to see the US as a bully and a threat. Many of us see our government as a bully and a threat, too!

Over 90% Americans too busy w/ trivial life styles, have no idea what is going on, thinking all politicians are working for the people, like the clot shots and getting involved in foreign entanglements sending money to Ukraine, making things worse than ever ex: V. Nam and Afghanistan , Iraq and elsewhere. Haven’t won a war in 77 yrs. Depression ahead and starvation mass die off.

The real sin of Athens …. and you can look this up …. is that Greek men are the originators of fucking each other in the ass. Fact.

So, God destroyed them.

W.A.S.P. GOODBYE AMERICA 1995

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=75PaEFLPKKU

I’m politically incorrect and damn proud of it
I love my country but I’m scared to death of its government
Ya believe what you read cause it’s all that we give ya
Cause all of history is written by winners
I’m engaged in a frenzy of mass self-destruction
I feed upon your famine to fuel my corruption
I’m wholeselling hatred and international incest
To carnivorous hyenas in a global theft fest
I’ve mastered the arts of death and foreign nations genocide
And those who turn on me commit national suicide

I’m the queen of the global dream
And I rule a declining nation
I sit and watch all the violent screams
From the throne of your desperation
I killed them all and stole their land
Enslaved the blacks and slaughtered the red man
In God we trusted and I gave birth
To would be kings to rule the earth

I have more pigs than I have tits to feed
I embrace the world’s phoney leaders
And hold the sucklings to my breast
And I’d fool you all as I’d feed ya
I’ll prop you up then strike you down
And lick your blood up form your ground
Humpty fuckin dumpty
My empire’s falling down

Breakdown, goodbye America
So long the music’s died
Freedom’s last hero’s wasted
I made you, I’ll break you
Breakdown, goodbye America
It’s all gone, kiss it goodbye
There on bloody bended knees where
My nation died

It is the economy stupid. Every major empire has debased their currency and the USA is following the plan.
