China and Russia have already fallen.
What was once the "USA" is controlled by an international plutocracy that sees the US as a resource.
Basically, the US is a farm that harvests American Tax Dollars, and lets face facts, the American tax payer doesn't have much say in what it does.
There is no :"one true conspiracy" that controls everything, but there many organizations and organizational hierarchies that exert tremendous amounts of influence.
Imagine a corporation that's primary purpose is to brainwash politicians.
Now imagine a dozen corporations in competition.
Corporations from Texas, New York, France, Russia, China, Israel. Denver, Colorado. London, England. The Vatican.
The highest bidder, all competing against the
American taxpayer.
As long as that fat herd of cattle keeps paying their taxes, there will be those who bid on ownership.
That's the USA.
