The US Is Doomed

It is scary to think about what is about to happen soon in the world. But it is necessary to talk about it, since the bitter truth is always worse than a lie. [This is especially true] when talking about the U.S.—police state number 1. Comparisons between the fall of this regime and the last years of the USSR in decline are more than obvious.

In all likelihood, the existing regime in the West will crash. The amoral authority in the U.S. gained unlimited power over the people through total control over all communications. They did it so that all communication processes were tied up in the Internet—and that’s why it’s under the intelligence community’s total control. The same thing is happening in Russia and other European countries. Even in their dreams, the savviest committee members of Andropov’s time couldn’t envision the possibility of ruling the minds of the masses through an all-encompassing wiretap. And now, such a possibility has appeared for the current generation of scoundrels. The authorities block telephone calls, record conversations, intercept emails, defame and misinform—convenient tools to squeeze their enemies.

But a controlling society like this will quickly ruin it. No matter how perfect the power, the destruction of the opposition will destroy the regime. The opposition plays an important role in any political system: It protects the power from mistakes. Imagine an organism whose intestine has been entirely removed of its microorganisms. Such an animal won’t live long because the immune system degenerates, having been deprived of antigenic stimulation. It is fair to say the same about society. Having gained a universal and reliable way of destroying the opposition, U.S. authorities are dooming themselves to death.

The system in the U.S. is cruel. I remind you that it is practically the only country in the “developed world” where a giant police force exists, where every association, office, shop and study group (if we are talking about college) has a snitch. The U.S. borrowed from the Soviet system of total denunciation by creating the Department of Homeland Security, an analog of the Soviet KGB. The country lives in fear. Take an illustrative event in New York: A bonkers local cop told colleagues that he was going to shoot the President’s wife, Michelle Obama. As a result, the American KBG put not only this “terrorist” in prison, but also those with whom he was talking. “Just in case.”

I don’t know when the U.S. political system will collapse. I don’t agree with Kalashnikov that it will happen “very soon,” since these police states have great potential for self-preservation. In fact, the KGB kept a tight “Yezhov”* grip on the USSR for nearly 15 years, despite a slow disintegration of the regime. But the collapse of the U.S. is inevitable, just as the death of an animal without an immune system is inevitable. It is obvious that the crisis is hard-wired in this government’s set-up, which they chose after Sept. 11, 2001.
