Prolegomena: Roughly ~6 weeks ago, the most wonderful Sir Alexander Macris, Mr. Contemplator on the Tree of Woe himself, was gracious enough to host a Guest Essay from me, your friendly, neighbourhood DOOM-Merchant. 

What follows is mostly the original text of the submission, verbatim. Some of the Imagery has been updated & retouched & some minor edits & whatnot were made likewise. I have decided to republish this piece for three main reasons: 

First, the DOOM spoken of in said piece is far closer today than when it came out in Late December 2023. 

Second, my list of Dear Readers has grown considerably, & many may have ‘missed out’ on this fine DOOM, especially when it first came out!

Third & finally, it feels & reads far more relevant & prescient today than it did back then. 

Ergo, doing a 'Remastered' version was exceptionally timely. Enjoy, Dear Readers!

& Remember… The DOOM Cometh!

---

The time has come.

The United States is about to be conquered.

Its people, already embroiled in social upheaval & widespread unrest (a de facto latent 'Civil War'), will eventually pick up arms en masse & begin the slaughter.

'Civil War' v2.0 will soon go kinetic, after which the term 'Civil' will be forever retired courtesy of the ensuing carnage. WW III will likewise go fully Kinetic once said hostilities erupt, for it is already here. Its fronts are simply latent at present.

The signs of this looming, simultaneous double conflict are everywhere.

Be it rapid de-dollarization, mounting national debt, total loss of control in West Asia, NATO (translation: primarily American) equipment burning on the East European Steppe, a looming war (& thus ensuing mega-migrant crisis) in Latin America, a looming war against the Chinese in the Pacific over Taiwan, a restarting of hostilities in the Korean Peninsula, loss of control in the Sahel to the military dictators of Mali, Niger, & Burkina Faso, the coming collapse of the Southern Border …

… you get the idea, Dear Reader(s). 'When it rains… it pours!'

---

Escalation (from latent to fully kinetic) will occur at varying speeds in each front above. Already, many of them are escalating daily (some even hourly!), alarming the ‘elite’ to varying degrees.

No empire lasts forever, & with the crumbling of the Empire comes the inevitable implosion back home. This precipice has now been reached.

That this implosion will occur is all but certain.

The masses subconsciously are aware of all this. Some may deny it; however, the Zeitgeist in American society is rushing towards affirming the obvious: That the nation is divided & that this divided house cannot stand!

The Predictive Programming by the so-called "elite" is already in full swing:

---

---

Make no mistake. These are not 'movies:'

They are equal parts documentary & prophecy that the so-called 'elite,' the majority of whom worship Satan & Demon-kind, have put in front of the American people.

2024 may not see the full outbreak of hostilities above, but the temperature will increase regarding the general 'direction of travel,' for it has now officially been given the 'go-ahead' by the Demonic ' elite.'

Strategists for the American Empire have long feared Eurasian integration (of the sort now in motion, with speed) precisely because the very existence of the United States as not only the 'exceptional nation,' but as a viable entity at all…

… is put into question.

Halford Mackinder’s “Geographical Pivot of History” in a nutshell. Little did he know that the successor to the British Empire (namely, US Global Hegemony) would lose not only the Pivot Area, but likewise the “Inner &/or Marginal Crescent” as well, & all in a matter of a few months! … As the Chinese like to say: “May you live in Interesting Times!”

---

Be it minerals, energy, metals, etc., the current level of American Industry (already hollowed out by the Uber-Financialization of the US economy) needs to sustain & cater to the already worsening standard of living in most of the US:

The social angst in American society is about to boil over. Be it the rise in homelessness, suicides, murders, gang violence, etc., the trend is clear: Now is the worst time for the Empire's foreign adventures & overseas holdings to go sideways.

In Mackinder's terms, The 'Outer &/or Insular Crescent' has eaten up its seed corn & is holding on for dear life. Any sequence of 'external shocks' sustained by the crumbling of the Architecture of US Hegemony overseas… will thus be fatal & irrevocably so.

At the Empire's darkest & most profound crisis, this man is allegedly 'in charge:'

---

---

Eurasia smells all around weakness. The consequences of this are grave. The Russian & Islamic worlds are already waging war against the Hegemon: 

Ukraine is a de-facto NATO proxy fighting Russia on the Steppes of Eastern Europe. Israel is an American client state engaged in the Genocide & Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine, an assault rubber-stamped & approved by the "Biden" Administration.

Dear Readers: You may disagree with my characterizations of the conflicts above. But you see, what matters is what the Regional Players &, more importantly, the people living there believe regarding these ongoing conflicts.

Said characterizations are precisely how the peoples of said Civilizations feel regarding the matter. Calling this 'dangerous' is an understatement.

Loss of control overseas will exacerbate the national implosion. This, in turn, will accelerate the loss of control overseas… which will accelerate national implosion.

This is a Doom Loop.

All signs presently indicate that The US has entered said Loop. The gravity of our moment cannot be merely dismissed on a whim of 'hope.' 

There was a time when the United States & its people could safely hide behind two Oceans, a robust economy, a homogenous society (ethnic, cultural & religious), technological prowess, etc. However, none of those are extant today.

America had its chance. It had an opportunity to pursue Empire in some 'benevolent' capacity. It had its shot at leading the rest of the world in a manner that could have been dignified, measured & temperate. It had all of that & much more.

But that is all in the past. What remains today is nothing more than 'inertia:'

Men, more clever, wise, & capable than any of the sorry lot of soy-drinking fools who claim to be 'men' today in CONUS & the European satrapies; such men have long passed on. With their passing, what they built can only endure a bit more.

Make no mistake: The Empire of Lies will not go down without a fight.

There are, however, too many 'small brushfires' worldwide to extinguish. Ergo, "Death by a Thousand Cuts" is the pursuant stratagem. Defeat is only a matter of time.

Doubts have already arisen about the Empire's ability to secure World Trade:

This is magnified by a loss of deterrence in West Asia despite the multiple carrier battle groups sent to the region to dissuade regional players.

The de facto blockade of the Bab-el-Mandeb strait by Yemen's Ansarallah is shaping up to be the 'Suez Moment' of the American Empire: 

If the Hegemon cannot lift said blockade & guarantee the safety of global shipping, it is no longer a 'Superpower.'

US Forces in West Asia, already under daily fire from the various Axis of Resistance members, will eventually be stormed en masse by the hundreds of thousands of militiamen who sport SRBMs, Rocket Artillery, kamikaze UAVs, etc.

---

Note: Most of these American force dispositions are on bases, assets, terrain, etc. which is completely indefensible. More specifically, the Topography is flat for most such sites, with very little (if any) Defensive multipliers nearby!

---

As Strategic Defeat in West Asia nears for 'Israel,' as well as the Empire, NATO (translation: primarily US) equipment burns without end on the East European steppe.

The Russian SMO in Ukraine has de facto demilitarized a large segment of NATO (translation: primarily the US) weaponry. Any 'surge' capacity is now lost, meaning the Americans will be helpless should other fronts become more kinetic.

Assets can be moved to said new fronts. However, able-bodied personnel who can be 'boots on the ground' are few & far between. Of the 450-500k or so Army personnel, only some 150-200k can fulfill said role… a number smaller than the Army of Bangladesh.

Air & naval power alone will not 'decide' anything. Add in the defensive power of the new MAD (i.e. Missiles, Artillery & Drones) with which its enemies are equipped, & it becomes clear: 

Without 'boots on the ground' to take & secure land, the Americans will inevitably lose. Thus, if the Chinese decide to 'rejuvenate,' the Taiwanese &/or the North Koreans decide to pounce &/or Venezuela seizes the Essequibo from the Guyanese…

… the Americans will be overloaded, & the dam will break!

These developments are catastrophic for the domestic front, which is already an utter basket case from an exponentially increasing national debt & de-dollarization coming home to roost. Meanwhile, the Southern border is simply nonexistent.

Inflation, unemployment, violent crime spikes, migrant waves, etc., will all be exacerbated. All this is when the various 'three-letter agencies' responsible for the common man's security within the Empire's borders are already overloaded.

The overall quality of said personnel is already at an all-time low courtesy of poor hiring practices, lack of trust in said institutions, gross inflation of the various 'Naughty' Lists of US citizens that they must keep an eye on, etc.

This means that reprisal attacks (all but guaranteed given the current international situation) will nearly all 'hit their mark' & do so with devastating effect.

In particular, one of the 'worst case scenarios' at present would be an attack on the One World Trade Center in Lower Manhattan, New York City, using a Dirty Nuke:

---

Surface burst of a 0.2 kiloton yield Nuclear device at the One World Trade Center. This hypothetical reprisal attack would murder nearly 30k Americans & leave a further 10k+ mortally wounded by the excess radiation.

Such an attack would also cripple the financial system, as Wall Street would need to close down courtesy of the nearby irradiated hellscape.

Dirty Nukes like these have another ominous name… “Suitcase Nukes”, courtesy of their relatively small size (i.e. weighing 15-45 lbs, roughly small enough to fit in an average backpack or large piece of luggage). They already exist in several nation states. The NPT does not have the gravitas necessary to regulate such small, low-yield nukes at present.

With payloads in the range of 0.2-2 kilotons, the danger in such munitions is that should one or more stateless entities use such weapons, justifications for a Second Strike are rather moot & far-fetched since:

(1) There are no national actors & assets to strike back anyhow & (2) The payloads are lower than conventional nukes by many orders of magnitude.

---

Given the fractious nature of the common man in the US today, rather than a 'Rally Around the Flag' effect that brings the country together, this 'repeat 9/11' would likely push ordinary Americans over the edge in a definitive manner.

The left would blame the right for 'antagonizing the rest of the world, which is why this happened to us! Shame on you racist fools!'

The right would blame the left for 'betraying everything this nation once stood for & allowing the enemies within the gates to kill us all!'

… you get the idea Dear Reader(s)!

Civil War v2.0 would kick off in earnest across the nation. & with it likewise, WW III would go kinetic across most of its currently latent fronts simultaneously.

When unity is lacking, & a common enemy cannot be found &/or identified… when even the very terms of debate are disagreed upon, the pathway is clear: 

Raise your hand against your neighbour, colleague, friend, family, etc.…

The sub-header for this essay is 'How The United States of America is Flirting with Annihilation.' 

Is that far too optimistic a reading of where things stand? 

…Perhaps we've passed the point of flirtation & moved to consummation. 

…Perhaps the 'bed has been made,' & we simply wait for America to lie in it!
