mike pompeo's revealing hudson institute speech former cia director and secretary of state mike pompeo gave a speech at the hudson institute last week that's probably worth taking a look at just because of how much it reveals about the nature of the u.s empire and the corrupt institutions which influence its policies pompeo is serving as a distinguished fellow at the hudson institute while he waits for the2/14
revolving door of the dc swamp to rotate him back into a federal government position the hudson institute is a neoconservative think tank which has a high degree of overlap with the infamous project for the new american century and its lineup of iraq war architects and spends a lot of its time manufacturing beltway support for hawkish agendas against iran it was founded in 1961 with the help3/14
of a cold warrior named hermann khan whose enthusiastic support for the idea that the u.s can win a nuclear war with the soviet union was reportedly an inspiration for the movie dr strangelove a think tank is an institution where academics are funded by the worst people in the world to come up with explanations for why it would be good and smart to do something evil and4/14
stupid which are then pitched at key points of influence in the media and the government think tank is a good and accurate label for these institutions because they are dedicated to controlling what people think and because they are artificial enclosures for slimy creatures pompeo's speech is one long rim job for the military-industrial complex which indirectly employs him he repeatedly sings the praises of the weapons that5/14
are being poured into ukraine two of them by name the patriot missile built by raytheon and the javelin missile built jointly by raytheon and lockheed martin both of whom happen to be major funders of the hudson institute he repeatedly decries what he calls the disastrous withdrawal from afghanistan and excoriates the biden administration for failing to control the world's fossil fuel resources aggressively enough in its efforts6/14
to prostrate itself to radicals pompeo easily ranked among the most fanatical imperialists on the entire planet hilariously says that china's belt and road initiative is a form of imperialism he decries a genocide in xinjiang and repeatedly implies that china deliberately unleashed kovid 19 upon the world calling it the global pandemic induced by china he repeatedly claims that vladimir putin is trying to reconstitute the soviet union7/14
along with praise for nato and for the various anti-china alliances in the indo-pacific pompeo names ukraine israel and taiwan as the three lighthouses for liberty which those alliances must work to support militarily you will notice that those three lighthouses just so happen to be the hottest points of geostrategic conflict with the top three opponents of the u.s empire russia iran and china respectively but there are8/14
a couple of things pompeo says which have some real meat on them by aiding ukraine we undermined the creation of a russian chinese axis bent on exerting military and economic hegemony in europe in asia and in the middle east pompeo says we must prevent the formation of a pan-eurasian colossus incorporating russia but led by china he later adds to do that we have to strengthen nato9/14
and we see that nothing hinders finland and sweden's entry into that organization that's all the major international news stories of today are ultimately about right there underlying all the smaller news stories about conflicts with nations like russia china and iran there's one continuous story about the u.s power alliance trying to secure planetary domination by relentlessly working to subvert any nation which refuses to align with it10/14
and about the nations who oppose that campaign working against it with steadily increasing intimacy this is all the russia hysteria from 2016 onward has been about this is all the phony hypocritical handwrit ringing about taiwan xinjiang and hong kong have been about this is all the staged histrionics about human rights in iran syria north korea venezuela bolivia nicaragua and cuba have been about it's all been11/14
about manufacturing international consent for an increasingly dangerous campaign to secure unipolar global hegemony at any cost it's worth calling to mind as nato for the first time designates china a threat due to its alignment with russia and as nato's secretary general admits that nato has been preparing for a conflict with russia since 2014 it is worth calling to mind the fact that the us has had12/14
a policy in place since the fall of the soviet union to prevent the rise of any rival superpower to prevent any challenge to its planetary domination it is worth calling to mind that in 1997 the precursor to the us space force committed to working toward full spectrum dominance meaning military control over land sea air and space people like to talk about secret conspiracies to establish a13/14
one world government but what is by far the most tangible and imminent global domination agenda has been orchestrated right out in the open the us government has long sought to unite the world under a single power structure no matter how much violence and devastation it needs to inflict upon humanity and no matter how much world threatening nuclear brinkmanship it needs to engage in to attain it14/14
this is the us empire which corrupts psychopaths like mike pompeo support a power structure which wages non-stop wars in order to keep the peace which continually oppresses populations around the world in order to protect freedom and which risks nuclear war with increasingly reckless aggression in order to save the world you
