Of all the July 4th think pieces I read this year, the most surprising was Kit Knightly’s piece for Off-Guardian.org, “America Was Never the Problem.”
I say “surprising” because most such Independence Day articles are written by and for Americans and are generally some variation of the lament that “kids these days don’t know what Independence Day is really about!” Knightly, however, is a Brit writing for an international (but presumably mostly British) audience, and he has a very different point to make.
To wit:
America was never the Empire, it was just where the Empire lived for a while.
It had other homes before, it will have others in the future. A hermit crab shedding shells as it swells.
The Nation of the United Statesโhowever you define the idea of nationhoodโwas as much a victim as any of us.
You should read the whole piece. It’s short and well-written and it makes an important point. The Global(ist) Empire has surely been headquartered in Washington for the last 80 years, but it isn’t a fundamentally American phenomenon. Rather, it’s a parasitical entity that has existed for centuriesโperhaps millenniaโand has infested various hosts over that time.
Now, it looks like the globalists are set to slough off their American skin and decamp to sunnier climes elsewhere.
But if they are about to make such a move, it raises an interesting question. Namely: where will the Empire move to next? Which country will these parasites infest next, and where will their next base of operations be located once America has been plunged into chaos and violence?
Today I offer some possibilities about where the Empire might go once it abandons the USA.
Are you ready? Let’s strap on our thinking caps and take a look.
The most difficult thing I have experienced since I started doing this blogging thing is the “pachyderm” in room, on any subject, is what is the validity of the source.
If a group of nefarious folks are bent on this or that behavior ‘in secret’ then how do the authors privy to the info?? Or even aware of a ‘secret’ group.
Years ago it was put out in the alternative media that DC, ‘City of London,’ and the Vatican were the rulers of things.
Lately the consequence of digital nonsense everyone’s theory about everything gets pushed as being ‘going viral.’ So now it is the overlords are really a profoundly powerful AI simulation, backed up with a dozen movies to ‘prove’ it :-/
Basically, if I met representatives from another galaxy I would be embarrassed to admit
being from this planet.

IMPORTANT UPDATE TO THE BUTLER SHOOTING of July 13, 2025:
Judicial Watch, had filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) in July of 2025 and apparently the 75,000 pages so far have come to a halt. The FBI has run out of black felt tip pens for redacting :-/
what a delightful article and speculation, thanks James! I love imagining another country far away relieving Americans of our Empire status, and perhaps booting out the empire-lovers with them, while the rest of us all turn Amish. ๐
I’m happy to spread the wealth and that new city Astana looks epic. But, where are their theme parks? Doubtful you’ll get the masses to adjust without a few dozen of those first. Perhaps if they host the next Olympics that will get the ball rolling?
OK, so maybe all the Oligarchs are not Zionists but this special group of them have taken control of the U.S. Government and are using that control to stomp out freedom and free speech around the world. For some reason it seems that JC fails to mention that Israel might be a consideration for the New World Order Empire. Based on all the shit I am seeing the War Mongers doing around the world today and tracing most of it back to Israel, I would say that the fact they they have access to all the Big Tech Severance Data which they use to manipulate Administrations around the world (including the President of the U.S.), that they seems to run the Empire from behind the scene at this point in time.
RE: James Corbettโs article โWhere Is The Empire Moving?โ
Ya knowโฆif I retain just 10% of one of these Corbett articles, my neighbors will call me a genius. I enjoy exploring some of the hypertext links, like Corbett Member Mishelle did. There can be some cool stuff there.
I must have missed class that day when we studied about Maurice Strong moving to China.
With Carneyโs โDefence, Security and Resilience Bankโ (DSRB), the bit about 10 then 9 then 8 founding members made me grin.
Speaking of โdefenCeโโฆ
— SPELLING —
There must be a new spelling trend for Turkey. Maybe they figured out the American slang definition. Corbett gives us the correct spelling versions of “Kyiv”, “Tรผrkiyeโ, and “โตโตโตโตโต.”
Canadian spelling is worser than Oklahoman spelling.
Using a Belgium-French spelling on the same Hershey chocolate bar doesnโt make it taste better.
So, whatโs up with Canuckistani spelling?… โฆcolour, neighbour, honourโฆandโฆcentre, theatre, metreโฆand the two โLโ trick ofโฆ traveller, labelled.
Which brings me back to โdefenCeโ.
In the U.S. under Donald Rumsfeld we had the “Department of Defense“. The proper spelling is โdefenseโ.
Everybody in Texas knows that โdefenceโ is a partition.
Example: โThe bull was out, so I jumped de fence.โ
Just as an accent slip in spoken words can reveal an imposter’s true country of origin, so can a spelling slip in written text reveal the same.
That may be one of the main reason they have perpetuated the spelling differences (and perhaps the measurement system differences and various colloquialisms).
Not just to identify imposters but also simply a quick way of identifying the likely nationality of the author of any English document (post cards, telegrams, blackmail, death threats, complaints, letters to editors, manifestos, whatever) where the author didn’t bother to change their usual writing style.
new base of operations if (when?) America descends into chaos
subsequent to being gutted of every possible resource
All the above and more. The parasites are in every country but I am surprised that Tel Aviv was not mentioned.

This is simply a link to an article that James featured in his links in this essay.
You may find it worthy of not glossing over…
I’ve been thinking they will move to China for years now. As for the the US, there was a very noticeable change in public discourse that happened from the Reconstruction Period into the Progressive Era. The main focus of political discussions shifted from the nature of Liberty to topics such as ‘quality of life’, ‘safety’, & ‘equality’. There is a reason that workers unions are so closely associated with authoritarianism, they abandoned their obligations to the work they had agreed to because they felt they were being treated unfairly. Equality activists sought to use the force of government to create equality, instead of respecting others rights to do what they wish with their property. People began to demand safety standards which did not exist for thousands of years, but somehow became necessary around the turn of the century. Liberty gradually began to matter less & less, & it has been taken for granted since then.
All of this is information I picked up from history class. It’s a topic that deserves a deep dive, but I’ve never done one.
“There is a reason that workers unions are so closely associated with authoritarianism, they abandoned their obligations to the work they had agreed to because they felt they were being treated unfairly. Equality activists sought to use the force of government to create equality, instead of respecting others rights to do what they wish with their property”
This does deserve a deep dive, kinda the crux of it all, n’est ce pas?
‘the work they agreed to’ well let’s start there. Because the popular saying goes, ‘no industry ever ended up with a union that didn’t deserve it’ or some such. The perfected trick is, get them in the game, then exploit them. So, get them in debt, as in decades of schooling and/or other ponzi-type schemes like mechanization of everything, then burst that economic bubble, and indebt the next generation while extracting any fake money from that equation to create a ‘wealth’ class of degenerate gamblers.
I expect ‘what they wish with their property’ does not include paying increasing taxes for nothing and answering to an ever-increasing class of bloated bureaucrats who come take photosofyour meager cottage to post everywhere to insure you aren’t extracting more fromyourland than your overlords are.
and on further personal history reflection, the bait and switch rules. When I started in online education we had 3 days off, now the norm is 12 hours, and that’s considered generous, as for time you are allowed away from the constant demand of students, bosses, general public forcing your schedule towards their demands. you think the corporatocracy didn’t plan that?!
I too sometimes like to put my common sense and pattern recognition on the shelf and pretend they don’t have a subterranean society.
— EUGENICS — 2026 style
In Corbett’s “Recommended Viewing” section, he has a Tucker Carlson video entitled:
Exposing the State-Sponsored Death Cult Disguised as Healthcare & Preying on Whites and the Weak
(You don’t have to view it, the audio alone works well for understanding.)
I’m learning some stuff.
You’re not allowed to grow/formulate pain-killers/aesthetics, but the government is.
You’re not allowed to choose whether or not you’ll suffer in unfathomable pain, but the government is.
You’re not allowed to choose when you exit this world, but the government is.
You’re not allowed to develop – or even discuss – exit methods, but the government is.
You’re not allowed to help a suffering loved one exit this world, but the government is.
They literally believe you are their property, and you can be certain that one of the requirements for receiving euthanasia will be that you agree to donate your functioning organs – or donate your entire body for ‘scientific research’, just as one of the requirements for receiving UBI will be providing proof that you’ve had all of your government-mandated pharma injections.
The real kicker came when Tucker said “not one thing that I’ve ever heard about Iran is worse than that” @ 2:03:02
Interview starts at 41:30
-and yet I have canadian friends who insist MAID is great and that it’s only used in extreme end of life cases.-
She mentioned a Jillian Michaels interview and @59:22 of said interview expanded on her justification of Israel’s treatment of Palestine and it was pretty shocking.
The questions leading up to her rant were “would you do it again (go to war)?”
and “are you anti-war?”
She is clearly still very unwell. I can see why people distance themselves from her. Sorry sweetie but doing DMT with Blackwater assassins maybe isn’t a great look.
CRM114 says,
“She is clearly still very unwell.”
You are right…she is wrestling with stuff.
CRM114, That is interesting about the MAiD attitude of some of your Canadian friends.
I like the way that you note parts of a video. It helps. It logs the historical record in print, which is very important.
I feel that written video summaries are important.

The True Origins of Chinaโs โSocial Credit Systemโ Part I
Cynthia Chung Jun 11, 2026
One of the most infamous criticisms of China over the past several years that has formed the basis for viewing the country as an Orwellian surveillance state and its citizens as mere drone-like-automatons is its supposed โsocial credit system.โ But what if I were to tell you that the origin of this Orwellian โsocial credit systemโ and the fintech (financial technology) credit loan bubble crises were actually created by the same Anglo-American institutions that also created the United Statesโ 2008 financial crisis? Or that fintechs such as Alipay, Antpay (both created by Jack Ma) and Wepay (Tencent) are not truly Chinese creations but have in fact been managed and funded by Anglo-American institutions that overlap heavily with Project Stargate? Or that China in fact cracked down on this back in 2020 which was portrayed by western press as a global scandal when the poor Big Tech billionaire Jack Ma was taken down a few pegs? …

I predict the globalists will move headquarters to Halifax immediately after the Templar treasure is found on Oak Island.

Oh, but what about having the Empire move its headquarters to the sunny climes of western Japan? That would be hilarious!
