Episode notes
Signs of American Empire Decline
- The American empire has been in slow decline since World War Two due to overextension and constant war.
- Declining pride in the nation marks a cultural shift, similar to empires in decline historically.
Flawed Political Leadership System
- Our political leadership is largely made up of career politicians skilled in persuasion, fundraising, and deception.
- This system rewards such politicians and punishes rare individuals who speak honestly.
Undiscussable Influence of Israel
- Unlike past influences, the current dominant foreign power (Israel) over U.S. politics is untouchable and un-discussable.
- We cannot openly debate loyalty or influence regarding Israel as we did historically with Britain.
