ROME OR BRITAIN? 3

The thing about an empire is that when you go through all the hard work of getting one, some jealous bitch is all coveting your rightfully gained goods.  You stole it fair and square.  Yet, they can’t be happy for you.  No, they try to take it away.  Britain had a huge empire, largely an agricultural empire run on coal and rail, paying the elite in textile profits.  And everybody wanted a piece of that pie.  It was easy stealing the land from Little Brown People who had no industrial capacity, but much harder keeping other large powers away.

*

As stated yesterday, the primary problem-not the ONLY problem, but a big one-was that Britain had used half of her coal gaining the empire and that her two competitors the US and Germany had just started using their energy stockpile.  Germany faced the same problem with Russia.  A century of coal had been used by the time they invaded Russia, and the Soviets were only twenty years into industrializing.  Worse, they had oil as well.  A lot of it.  A coal power cannot go up against an oil power.  As Britain found out while she surrendered peacefully to the US.

*

Because Britain was already contracting energy-wise, the gold from South Africa didn’t help.  When you run out of energy, money just bleeds out faster buying it.  The Maxim machine gun didn’t help, as her true enemy was no longer Bush Bitches but other colonial powers.  Technology works great.  For a very short time and then you are back spinning your wheels.  And competing with other great powers no longer helps, because you are just hemorrhaging energy and treasure faster.  But what else can you do, right?  Surrender later or now, and most folks just pick later.

*

And don’t make fun of the French surrendering.  While she controlled Syria and had some oil, as we found out invading Iraq it is almost impossible to produce oil in the middle of counter-insurgency fighting.  What energy she did have was used policing her empire, primarily rubber to bring in income ( we didn’t invent artificial rubber until about the middle of WWII ).  France just really didn’t have the resources to fight.  They had the equipment at home but her energies were focused on protecting her diminishing resources.  And to be fair, Germany got all the cold parts anyway J

*

Britain had already lost the economic war by 1914.  It would have been smart to pour all her resources into protecting and exploiting the middle east, bypassing Europe.  To an extent they half assed that and placed a large number of Dominion troops in the trenches and the better home units in the middle east, but it was still a two front war.  Yet, Britain has used to defending her empire against the other powers.  She felt she always had to keep Europe weak in relation to herself as a preemptive measure and fought many wars to do just that.

*

It wasn’t a bad strategy.  It kept her in power for some time.  But by fighting that one time too many, while weakened already, her demise was assured.  She was still fighting using a coal powered economy in an oil economy world.  She had an oil powered fleet, but that was protecting a coal economy.  What WWI accomplished was that the world’s largest supplier of oil, the US, became the premier oil economy and had all the old coal powered colonial powers defeat each other.  It was masterful, and makes you all tingly to be an American.

*

Granted, the victory wasn’t complete.  The US then had to pit all the old defeated colonial powers against each other again so that Russia could be weakened enough for the US to best her in the new Oil Age war.  That is why we financed Hitler ( yes, I understand we did it for the profit of the banks.  But energy is wealth, ultimately ).  His only use to us was for him to drain Russia while we took over Britain’s colonies.  Everyone applauds Churchill as Britain’s savior, but he was just America’s bitch, dismantling the empire at our call.

*

What did she get out of it?  The smallest part of the Rothschild’s pie, a toe hold in the new financial order.  That is what allowed Britain to remain Detroit East instead of another Portugal or Spain, Bermuda East, just a once proud colonial power acting to pamper the tourists coming in from greater economies.  The US used starvation as a threat against Britain to assume world leadership position.  And that was us being NICE.  And before you think we can use the Wheat Weapon as we did in both world wars, stop.  And ponder our ethanol issue.

*

Let us recap the British Empire.  They used up their coal gaining an empire.  We used up our oil gaining ours.  When they started running out of coal, they were defeated economically if not yet militarily.  We lost the Vietnam War which was NOT a guerrilla war like Afghanistan.  It was a conventional war fought with total industrial production.  When we didn’t have troops to fight we just blew up the jungle or a bridge.  We used more tonnage of bombs in peripheral campaigns there than we did in WWII.  It was our last one, but it WAS an industrial war. 

*

It was lost as our oil supply peaked.  The politicians didn’t lose the war.  Not the left protesters.  Our energy situation lost us that war just as Britain actually lost WWI ( the only real winner was the US ) because of her lack of surplus energy ( SURPLUS being the key word here ).  Technology didn’t save her empire.  There are some indicators that Britain might have been the actual developers of the computer age, just from a technological sector point of view.  But she had no economy.  The US is losing our technological sector as well.

*

Britain had the Pound, the world standard currency.  And lost it all during WWI buying supplies from the US ( as we are from China ).  She had the Pound, South African gold, she had Peruvian nitrates for fertilizer and munitions, men and supplies from India and Oz, naval fuel from Iraq and did any of that save her?  No.  She was an old coal power, with diminishing supplies.  Her industrial centers were ruined before the bombs dropped ( just as Detroit was aflame before the riots started ).  War to preserve the empire just added another nail to her coffin.

*

Why is Britain being occupied and defeated by the Muzzies?  Because Globalizing America has degreed it so, and she has no power to resist.  Only by acting as part of the American banking system ( do you think it was an accident that she sold all her gold reserves in the 90’s at their lowest possible value? ) does she survive above Craphole Nation status.  America’s rulers jam immigrants down its own populations throats, and the other White Countries must do the same so as not to gain a competitive advantage over the US.  They must join us in the slide.

*

As the US weakens, mirroring Britain, we are using the last of our energy and power to drag down our allies ( with friends like the US… ).  Just as Britain drug down the other colonial powers.  To “compete” with our demise, the rest of the First World must have immigrant filled slums to destabilize the culture, gender wars to tamp down wages and religious wars to refocus the publics eyes away from the collapse.  All this crap we see in the PC Wars, is policy designed to divert us from the bankers losing their control. 

*

The last of the oil cannot be used to build renewable energy to Soft Land us.  The last of the oil is being used to keep those elites in power.  The system would collapse with or without them, but their desperation over losing their hookers and blow is why you are seeing this particular flavor of collapse.  Why did WWI start?  Not because of an assassination or Germans wishing to bayonet Belgium babies ( sarcasm ), but because England didn’t want to lose her power and because the US wanted much more for themselves.  It is as simple as that. 

*

Why will the US see civil war?  Not because Leftists or Statists or even OtherColors or anti-Constitutionalists.  We will see a very violent break-up of empire because our elite simply don’t want to lose their power.  Plus, other nations don’t want to lose theirs ( they aren’t going to be the new global power.  Impossible as the oil runs out.  They just want to survive ).  I’m done on the subject of the US mirroring Britain.  This is the end of this series of articles.  Tomorrow, I’d like to use the greed and sense of self preservation of the individual as a guide to how groups and nations act.
