Empires fall

Empires fall

It is the law of gravity. What goes up comes down.

In these last desperate days for the US Empire, all the patterns of demise are there.

Greedy, vainglorious rulers who spit on the ‘common’ people. Capture by big money blinded by their historical black gold rise to wealth, dinosaurs in lag. Holding countries hostage, bullying the tactic of choice. Increasing disparity between the haves and have-nots. Desperate acts of violence to sway rogue countries to submission.

Yet precession is in play. Countries realise that backing the hegemony is now foolish. Instead, they form alliances with one another. China becomes the leader in clean energy, and energy is where the power is, no pun intended. The Empire has lost this hand without even knowing it.

The global south, finally shrugging off the mantle of being called socialist for caring about their people and wanting to maintain the rights to their natural resources, form alliances, as the hegemony continues to brand them as evil, or terrorists, or whatever fear-mongering title grabs the zeitgeist.

The question of this Empire’s fall is whether it will be like a candle snuffing out, or will it be violent?

And, will it be replaced by another Empire, or can we humans be done with Empires?

I suspect violence, and I hope for global collaboration and coordination to replace Empire.

Beauty of Beginnings - July 1st - How shocking

July 1st 2025 How shocking How shocking I love the grassroots movements of art, music and culture. Festivals have shocked the world. Woodstock is an example of counterculture for the boomer generation. The same generation reluctant to give up their entitlements to enable our youth a better future in 2025. Over this past weekend, we had Glastonbury in the UK. Claiming people are dangerous terrorists because they speak up against genocide is business as usual in many parts of the world,...

Beauty of Beginnings - June 29th - A little Oasis in a storm

June 29th 2025 A little Oasis in a storm A little Oasis in a storm Yesterday, we became proud parents to four chickens. We have a lovely big yard, surrounded by bush, so they can roam all day. My partner, Tony, built what I call the Taj Chickal, a very secure safe haven for our chickens to sleep and feed. Milly the dog, now deaf from age, was beside herself with excitement. At one point, we found her sitting guard after the chickens had gone to bed. Hopefully, in a few days, when the chickens...

Beauty of Beginnings - June 28th - Pardoning corruption

June 28th 2025 Pardoning corruption Pardoning corruption Oh how far we have fallen. One corrupt leader seeks to force another corrupt leader’s country to pardon him. The White House produces a video, surely a parody, of daddy returning home, after a European ‘leader’ puts Trump and daddy in the same sentence. The sycophancy of global ‘leaders’ to appease daddy is disgusting. Oh for brilliant humanity, where art thou? Yet people who have done nothing criminal except seek a better life, people...
