The USA’s corporate oligarchy made the fateful decision to go for global empire during World War II. This led the US to rescue and repurpose Axis fascists so that the US could consolidate and rebrand the Anticommintern under US management. >From this decision to go for global dominance flowed other fateful choices like the dropping of the atom bombs, the launching of the Cold War, the creation of the CIA, alliances with organized crime, the clandestine overthrow of foreign governments, and political assassinations. The deep state and tripartite state constructs were devised to allow us to name this new form of governance which essentially gives plausibly deniable veto power over democracy to an oligarchy of corporate wealth. Exceptionism describes this institutionalized abrogation of the rule of law. Today, the empire forged by the exceptionist deep state is tottering. With no effective democratic check on its power, the empires excesses have dialectically generated the forces which are now collectively bringing about the collapse of US global primacy. As such, this is an exciting—if dangerous—historical moment.
