The Sad, Sad Karma of Empire | Philip A. Farruggio

To this writer, empire is not exactly what the dictionary defines it as: A group of nations or peoples ruled over by an emperor, empress or other sovereign or government; usually a territory of greater extent than a kingdom.
Another definition can be found stating: A powerful and important enterprise or holding of large scope that is controlled by a single person, family or group of associates.
Putting these two definitions together, one can perhaps begin to understand what our American Empire looks like. The heinous marriage between mega wealth via corporate capitalism and elected government. The first born bastard child they named The Military Industrial Empire!
When the victors of WW1, including the quickly dying British Empire and the up-and-coming American one, chose to push the Versailles Diktat on Germany... the seeds for radical government were planted. The Third Reich was the bad karma to the nth degree resulting from the overbearing decisions at Versailles. Of course, our empire, with its corporate boosters, profited the most from the Nazi horror while our European allies were being beaten down by it... along with of course the multitude of innocent Jews, Communists, Socialists, trade unionists etc.
