And what this means for everyone else…
Western civilization is at best a subterfuge and at worst, a grand larcenous scheme, which is backed by the most effective propaganda machine in history of humankind.
The business of justifying genocide and the wholesale theft of assets requires an elaborate framework, which demonizes the victims, while depicting the perpetrators as saints.
And this has been the case for the last few centuries, by way of enslavement of West Africans and the unpaid labour which funded the wealth of the private capitalist class and the process which became known as the industrial revolution.
The decline of European empires didn't end the pillaging of the resources of non-Europeans; it assumed different forms and this took on a whole new meaning in the decades following the defeat of Nazi Germany.
Britain and France collaborated on fighting Abdel Gamal-Nasser when the Egyptian revolutionary nationalized the Suez-canal and the CIA worked with Churchill's government in overthrowing the democratically elected Mohammed Mossadegh of the Islamic Republic of Iran, replacing him with a puppet, who did their bidding until he was defenestrated in the 1979 revolution.
The lessons of history wasn't lost on the Iranians and this was at the heart of the fundamental changes which took place throughout the 1980s, 1990s and 2000s.
Iran's literacy under the theocracy has increased exponentially— Adult literacy stands at 89% in contrast to 42% in 1976, while youth literacy is close to 100% — under a theocracy than America's under a democracy where a vast number of its citizens are functionally illiterate.
The Epstein paedophile class, which has destroyed the world with its depravity, insatiable avarice and genocidal racism are getting their comeuppance in real time and Iran is leading the charge.
Iran's years of investing in its greatest asset — its people — has led to this moment, in which it is waging a war of decolonization against its great foes.
In rejecting America's ceasefire terms and closing the Strait of Hormuz, it is doing what many thought possible and should things continue in this vein, there's every likelihood of American deployment of nuclear weapons, which will lead to World War III.
A global war will line up North Korea, China, Russia and Iran on one side with America and Israel with Germany on the other side.
African nations, mostly staffed with self-serving and profoundly stupid leaders and a highly conditioned population, will back the west, failing to see the intrinsic benefits of the death of the American empire.
The Iranians are fighting the mother of all wars, which will change our planet forever.
The new world order which will arise from the ruins of war, will lead to The People's Republic of China supplanting America as the preeminent economy and the yuan becoming the global reserve currency.
As upset as we all were when Donald Trump was declared winner of the 2024 presidential elections, his stewardship of his nation's affairs, has helped accelerate its decline and this is a welcome development.
His hubris has brought us to this point and this is why millions of people across the world are supporting Iran in its effort to bring the empire to heel.
We should all be so thankful.
