Chapter 4 - The Three Hundred Years War

      "By the time the war started, America was prepared. It was able to support eighteen million men in battle," I said proudly. "All were located overseas fighting the Nazi forces. In addition, America supplied China logistically with an Airlift across the Himalayas throughout much of the war. It also supported Russia and England logistically. Without American logistics there wouldn't have been much of a war. China would have lost ground against the Japanese invasion. Russia would have faltered, and England would have been overrun. Hitler would have won the world. In very real terms, the American System of Economics saved civilization from being defeated by imperial universal fascism.

      "It all seemed to have been done with relative ease," I continued. "While the war ground on, which sucked out vast resources in men and materials out of America, the American economy continued to grow. It is being said that World War II was primarily won with Russian heroics and American logistics. And when it was all over, in spite of the huge waste that the war had imposed, America stood in the world as the most powerful economic force that ever existed on the planet, and the richest nation on Earth."

      I paused. "All of this is history now," I continued. "When Roosevelt died America's renaissance system of Love-Based Economics was scrapped once again and the nation became subjected again to imperial cultural warfare. So, what do we have to show the world today as the result of the still ongoing cultural warfare shift back to a Dark Age environment? The result is exactly what one would expect for a nation operating totally contrary to the principles of economics. We became a nation embracing fascism and imperial looting to the fullest. After four decades of racing down this imperial track we now stand in the world as the biggest debtor in history, the staunchest developer of poverty throughout the world, with the biggest private financial empire that has ever been created in the world that has also become the word's Number One gambling casino. America has furthermore become the biggest bully in the world with the largest arsenal of nuclear bombs, and the foremost promoter of fascism. In addition we are leading the world in deindustrialization, covert international terrorism, assassination squads operating internationally. In the proud new American century austerity has become a new world-feature, pioneered at home and spread around the world, together with the unyielding 'resolve' to attack other nations whose policies we don't like. We've become the world's biggest liars and haters of the truth, and admirers of violence and insanity, and the staunchest advocates of lawlessness, corruption, and the use of the force of might. Of course we are still the world's leading advocates of the death penalty, the proliferation of civil firearms, and we are leading the world with the highest ratio of incarceration of our citizens per capita that even the Soviet Union can't match. We've become all of that while we suffered only a few losses, like not being rich anymore, or not being secure anymore, or not being loved anymore and respected. Since we are fully committed to remain on the fast track into the sewer, we may soon be in a position to drown ourselves with the products of our own creating. We are also in a position to take the world down with us, since we have successfully implemented the full globalization of the modern American Way."

      I turned to the Russian woman and congratulated her for the fact that her country has survived as well as it has in the shadow of the same intense cultural warfare that is rapidly destroying America.

      Anibal intervened and predicted that the New Venetian Empire's Three Hundred Years War would soon end, which has gripped the whole world, including Russia and America. He said it would end either by society waking up and reverting its existence back to the Renaissance-Based Principle of Economics, meaning Love-Based Economics, and thereby uplift the world with it on a global scale. Or, as he said, the Empire would win and impose a New Dark Age that few people will be able to survive, especially with the Ice Age coming up. Anibal promised that in either case, no matter who would win, the Empire's Three Hundred Years War would come to close. He suggested that the only question that remains unanswered at this stage is whether the Empire would survive or civilization would survive.
