The Controlled Demolition of the American Empire

Rate this book
The American Empire is finished and will soon become another cautionary tale, tossed upon the trash heap of history, and destroyed by the very same societal issues that plagued the many former empires that share similar fates. It did not have to end this way, but when the most devious and ruthless members of a society are tasked with running the system, the outcome can hardly be in dispute. All empires fall, but it is the reason they eventually come apart that is surprisingly similar. The fate of America will not be any different. Like a 47-story steel and concrete building that is covertly slated for demolition, the American Empire was built on a rotten foundation and has been targeted for destruction. The core of the building has been pre-weakened over the decades through government policies, had its support columns identified and rigged with financial detonators, watched society be transformed into a culture incapable of recognizing their impending doom to sound the alarm, and as the plunger is pushed down and the destruction begins, many people will have no idea of what is coming their way until it is too late. Once the debris is cleared away there is hope that a new civilization can be built, but will they make the same mistakes, or can they learn from the past and chart a different course?

There's a reason I gave this book two stars, and it's because of the many, many statements that are made and purported to be fact without any citation of a supporting reference. I have real problems with that within an ostensibly nonfiction work. If the author had included such supporting evidence, I would likely have given it a higher rating; as such, it reads like a rant and comes off as the author pulling "facts" out of thin air.

I'm inclined because of the potential seriousness of many of his points to research the book point-by-point. However, some statements I know to be false and others I find highly questionable. Still, whenever one seeks to enlighten the self by reading a book of this nature, further study is warranted and at least a footnote to the source of critical information should be given.

Well worth the read

Jeff and crew do a brilliant job in laying out the elite’s plan for a new world order and the enslavement of humanity in a very readable and factual way. Some of the information would be known to those already researching these subjects but there is also a lot if information that will be new to even those of us that are “awake “. If we are to overcome this plan to euthanize and enslave us then we need to listen to the warnings of truth sayers like Jeff. Whether they turn out to be prophets of a new golden age for humanity or the harbingers of our destruction the choice is ours. I would not hesitate to recommend this book. Good luck to us all.

Wow! Nearly 400 pages never was read so fast. It was riveting! I’ve long wondered, why is American life so confusing and contradictory? Now it makes perfect sense. Because America is not a place for the best interest of its people. It’s government (and more accurately, shadow government folks) has been purposely infecting American bodies and minds to transform human beings into the perfect slave labor. But in spite of all the hard Truth that was just exposed in this book, I feel confident and hopeful because there was one very important truth; it’s willing slavery! So all one really needs to do is extricate oneself from the system. They can’t hold you forever!

Because face the facts- life has changed in 2020, pretty incredibly not for the better and it’s only the beginning!! So now our life goals have changed too. Stop relying on the American dollar, big stores, indoctrination “schools” and pretty much anything else the government encourages us to do.

It won’t be easy for lots of people, this I believe, but the most important part is growing your own food! And I think too, building something earth integrated homes that will be less affected by the coming power loss.

Wake up! Get started driving your own life! We can do it!

This book is full of useful information. As someone who was already familiar with the big picture points, this book was eye-opening, but not a big revelation. I learned a lot. The only points of criticism are that it's too long winded and that the organization is odd. The book jumps around in subject matter. Overall worth reading for sure.

This book is the truth. We need to break away from the government control, which government actually means to control the mind! Amazing book and I will recommend it to everyone.

Excellent book and hard to put down. The author opines quite a bit and I'm not sure I can agree with all of it, but the abundance of truth exposed is amazing. This book should be a mandatory read for all Americans. Thanks Jeff Berwick!

Controlled Demolition of the American Empire – From the Founding of the Federal Reserve, To 9/11, To the Coronavirus Panic (Self Published, 2020) av Jeff Berwick och Charlie Robinsson utgör en bra introduktion till en mängd så kallade ”konspirationsteorier”, eller rättare sagt ett ifrågasättande av regimens fastslagna ”sanningar”. Exemplen är många fler än vad bokens långa titel antyder. Vi låter följande citat ge ett smakprov på författarnas ton och stil:

”In March of 2020, the plunger was pushed down and the controlled demolition began for the American empire. An 'invisible enemy' that masqueraded as the organic event was needed to take the blame for the transformation of society that the controllers had been laying the groundwork for over the past few decades. The introduction of the Coronavirus, or COVID-19, was enough to submarine the economy of the Unites States while simultaneously altering the societal makeup of the country forever. The only thing that spreads faster than a live and deadly virus is the fear of the virus. In simple terms, the idea of the virus is actually just as disastrous as the virus itself because perception becomes reality once the mainstream corporate media gets involved in shaping the narrative.”

Boken är intressant med erbjuder inte så mycket ny kunskap för oss men för läsare med andra referensramar finns här ett stort antal små och stora ämnen som är väl värda att fördjupa sig i på egen hand.

Så vilka är det då som är ansvariga för den kontrollerade demoleringen av det (globala) Amerikanska imperiet? Författarna menar att de skyldiga finns inom finanssektorn, det politiska etablissemanget, bankväsendet, Big Pharma, The Military-Industrial Complex, utbildnings-systemet och den ytterst kontrollerade massmedian. Vidare erbjuder författarna en bra kritik av, och redogörelse för, många av dessa institutioners lögner, brott och svek mot sina egna medborgare. Vi noterar även, med glädje, att författarna hade modet att inkludera ett stycke om AIPAC (American Israel Public Affairs Committee) och deras massiva inflytande över den Amerikanska politiken. Detta stycke, är enligt oss, ett av de få tillfällena i boken där författarna beskriver ”sjukdomen” istället för dess ”symtom”.

Vi håller med om mycket av analysen men inte om de föreslagna lösningarna som vilar på idén om att ”väcka massan”. Troligtvis grundar sig detta felaktiga antagande på författarnas Libertarianska ideologi. Denna ideologi för tyvärr med sig en alldeles för naiv och oinformerad syn på hur politik samt makt fungerar och förhållandet mellan massan och eliten (se exempels Robert Michels Iron Law of Oligarchy). Trots detta är boken långt ifrån dålig och den kan säkerligen utgöra ett nyttigt intellektuellt trappsteg för dem som är nyfikna på det Amerikanska imperiets pågående förfall och även för de av oss i Europa som, efter 1945, lever i någon av deras vasallstater.

Good analysis, but the author lost me when mentioning Larken Rose, libertarian, libertarianism
being as silly as communism, since libertarians are living on other member's of society's labour, while claiming the moral high ground.

Timely Book

The authors demonstrate the highway we are on heading into a Global, tyrannical and criminally led New World Order. The book is deep, but the writing style is clear and concise with many examples from the past that show where our country and the world community is headed. For the folks who have recognized what has been happening with the loss of rights, protections and freedom, this book will be a confirmation of that view. For those who believe in the narrative put out by the government and mainstream media, this book will either open their eyes or leave then shaking their heads in disbelief. It takes courage to read this book, but it will take more courage to stand up to the tyranny that is here and will occur in the future if we do not work together to stop it. Excellent book.

Ideas to consider:
It's only a conspiracy theory, until it's not a theory.
Be wary when honesty is punished and corruption is rewarded.
Take time to research asbestos, wi-fi, GMO crops, fluoride, vaccines, glyphosate, cell pones and 5G.
There are "sheepole" the world over.
Orwellian double-speak abounds.

Stand. Have faith. Don't ever give up.

Good informational read

This will help open Your mind to how corrupt the system that we have been living in and following is so wrong. I have been a fool for this system for far to long but I am now opened minded and have taken the red pill.

Interesting factoids in Tweet format.

Hire an editor. Hope many encounter this book, and if considering a next edition, hire a f*cking editor. There's a difference between printing a book and publishing one.

Honestly bought this for curiosity and a joke. I gave up after 30pages. It wasn't badly written entirely just problematic.
