Where Is The Empire Moving?

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 States—however you define the idea of nationhood—was 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 centuries—perhaps millennia—and 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.
