Richard C. Cook comments:

This morning, the famed commentator Simplicius released a new article on The Psychological Stake in Greenland.

Simplicius writes that President Trump’s coveting of Greenland is not being viewed correctly by commentators:

In short, the claim is that the White House’s strategy currently being played out is not a Monroe Doctrine-esque “retreat” from the outer world as many have assumed, with the US focusing on a ‘Fortress America’ strategic enclave in the Western Hemisphere, but rather is a fully offensive strategy aimed at impeding China from its now-inevitable ascendancy. The US’s focus on “interior” projects like Venezuela and Greenland is meant only to empower the US to act abroad by stripping China and other adversaries of life lines and advantages, etc.

Here I beg to differ. I do indeed view Trump’s actions respecting Greenland as a retreat to “Fortress America,” with similar action on Canada, Mexico, and the rest of Latin America to follow.

What Simplicius and many others fail to emphasize is that World War III has been fought and is coming to an end. The project that has been going on since 1900 of the creation of a consolidated Anglo-American-Zionist Empire is over. The Empire has been defeated, as aficionados of Star Wars have seen coming for a couple of generations.

For the U.S., the madness of the Wolfowitz Doctrine, the Project for a New American Century (9/11), and Full Spectrum Dominance have bitten the dust. Someday historians will mark the end of these follies with the Empire’s defeat at the hands of Russia in Ukraine and the 12-Day War whereby Iran proved that it has the power to obliterate the neocolonial outpost of Israel at will.

What we are now seeing is the aftermath of the Empire’s defeat as the new multipolar world takes shape. Unilateral U.S. retreat to Fortress America is part of this. Also part of the “New World Order” (LOL) is the collapse of Britain into oblivion and the gradual but inevitable transition in the Middle East to a demilitarized Palestine with freedom of religion and right-of-return for displaced peoples.

This gigantic change will take several centuries to complete and will be marked by “wars and rumors of wars” as a constant. Individuals of good will are advised to prepare accordingly, secure the safety of themselves and their loved ones, and see to their own spiritual development. After all, as my German confidant told me recently, individual life on this small planet is only a “two-week vacation” between eternities.

Love and peace to all.
