Born at the Crest of the Empire

What I believe

I believe that the American empire has crested. Sometime in the sixties when the United States went from being the largest creditor nation to the largest debtor nation, when the United States went from being a net oil exporter to a net oil importer, and when we lost a president for the young and lost the young to a war. And then there was Nixon.

We no longer hope for great things for all of us, only great things for ourselves.

Corruption and abuse of power are two of the signs of decline, and it is these symptoms I will attempt to document here.

Unfortunately, these things are so common that they rarely are the headline in the article anymore, and you have to dig down and read the inferences to get some feel for what's really being said.

This blog will have a viewpoint, although what it is, is not too easily classified, you will just have to read the posts and gather for yourself.
