Chalmers Johnson on American Hegemony

submitted by geo321

1 decade 4 years 4 weeks ago

Chalmers Johnson has literally written the book on the concept of American Hegemony. A former naval officer and consultant of the C.I.A., he now serves as professor Emeritus at UC San Diego. As co-founder and President of the Japan Policy Research Institute, Mr. Johnson also continues to promote public education about Asia's role in the international community.
In this exclusive interview, you will find out why the practice of empire building is, by no means, a thing of the past. As the United States continues to expand its military forces around the globe, the consequences are being suffered by each and every one of us. -Vimeo

Chalmers Ashby Johnson (August 6, 1931 - November 20, 2010)

Why do informative videos never inspire comments and debate? QM is amazingly quiet on actual thoughtful videos.

Is it better to try to save the US empire or let it fall to make way for a new empire? Or even to have no empires at all?

As a Canadian none of these options are good ones. Our economy is so tied to the US that its fall would take us down too. But the influence of US politics is ruining our culture and changing our political culture to one of secrecy and lies. But Canada has always leeched off empires and defined itself by emulating the empire and rejecting it at the same time. So without an empire to follow Canada has no identity.

While most people don't give shits about Canada I'm sure we are not the only country that will have to redefine itself after the US empire ends.

Come one people, join the discussion. Tell me I'm full of shit (which is hardly new). This is where opinions can actually matter.

My grandfather is of Chinese descent, and he has always talked of America in this way.
