Andrew, another very insightful analysis and reporting! I would only add that the "rest of the world," the "Golden Seven Billion" know the Truth and cannot be fooled. The USA and it's neocolonial slaves across Europe are destroying their own cultures, economies, and strength! The dying empire and its emperor are clearly exposed. As an American, I am both saddened and outranged at what has become of my country. I still believe in the Constitution and Bill of Rights which they have dismantled and trampled upon. Out of the ashes, perhaps a new Phoenix will rise!
