Empires Never Benefit the Citizens of the Empire
Empires enrich the elite…never the majority of the citizens. Rome bestowed wealth upon the few while the many were either slaves or destitute depended upon grain from the Elite. The lowly citizen of the Austro-Hungarian Empire was deemed worth of the role of cannon fodder. Throughout history Empires only enriched the few to the detriment of the many.

Why should we expect an American Empire to be different in character? Launched by the PNAC our quest of hegemony and empire building is enriching only the corporate elite. Our government is dedicated fully to fulfilling the dreams of the upper-class elite. Our role is supply the blood and tissue for the expansion of the American empire.

Our salvation lies in understanding the dreams of the elite. For only then can we revolt against their intent for our destiny.
