The Biden administration, on behalf of the Anglo-American elite,  continues to do everything in its power to ensure that even after Trump  takes office, the policies of the United States will not—cannot—stray  from those of maintaining the hegemony of the bankrupt imperial world  order. Lyndon LaRouche compared this imperial elite to a slime mold: “The controller of the system is a  Venetian-style system of private financier interests, sort of like a  slime mold, which assembles and asserts its collective power, and uses  the instruments of government, under its compulsion, to cause societies  to submit to its will. That’s an empire. That was the empire, the  medieval empire, of the Crusaders and the Venetians, the usurers. That’s  been the British Empire since February of 1763, when we broke from the  British on that issue.”

This unnatural, anti-human system is  doomed to fail, but its purveyors would rather rule in Hell than lose  power—or, perhaps, they delude themselves to believe that current  scenarios of control over the world’s resources and development can  somehow be indefinitely extended, even though they are blowing apart at  the seams.
