A great power is a nation or state that has the ability to exert its influence on a global scale. Great powers characteristically possess military and economic strength and diplomatic and cultural influence which may cause small powers to consider the opinions of great powers before taking actions of their own.
The term "great power" was first used to represent the most important powers in Europe during the post-Napoleonic era. The formalization of the division between small powers and great powers came about with the signing of the Treaty of Chaumont in 1814. Since then, the international balance of power has shifted numerous times, most dramatically during World War I and World War II.
While some nations are widely considered to be great powers, there is no definitive list of them. The game of Imperialism consisted of five main powers: the United Kingdom, the Austrian Empire, Prussia, France, and Russia.
Over time, the relative power of these five nations fluctuated, which by the dawn of the 20th century had served to create an entirely different balance of power. Some, such as the United Kingdom and Prussia (as part of the newly formed German state), experienced continued economic growth and political power.
Others, such as Russia and Austria-Hungary, stagnated. At the same time, other states were emerging and expanding in power, largely through the process of industrialization.
The foremost of these emerging powers were Japan after the Meiji Restoration and the United States after its civil war, both of which had been minor powers in 1815. By the dawn of the 20th century the balance of world power had changed substantially.
It should be noted that China was feared as they looked different in skin color and facial features. China had practices uncommon to the Europeans and used resources that were unheard of. The great powers did not want China to participate in the game they played, “ King of the Mountain.” i.e. Imperialism.
The Eight-Nation Alliance was a belligerent alliance of eight nations against the Boxer Rebellion in China. It formed in 1900 and consisted of the five Congress powers plus Italy, Japan, and the United States, representing the great powers at the beginning of 20th century.
After the cold war China, France, Russia, the United Kingdom and the United States are referred to as great powers. These five nations were the only states to have permanent seats with veto power on the UN Security Council.
Let it be said, the United States has since lost its reputation as the only global superpower.
This is the time when two Kansas Brothers, Charles and David Koch are exposed as the “Head Team” to once again claim imperialism for the United States. They were taught by their father, Fred Koch, the beliefs of Vladimir Lenin. In 1916, Lenin wrote Imperialism, the Highest Stage of Capitalism. A new Preface for the French and German editions (6 July 1920), was first published in the Communist International No. 18 (1921).
Fred Koch was in the Soviet Union during that time. Koch worked with Soviet engineers who were longtime Bolsheviks. Koch came to despise communism and Joseph Stalin's regime. From this perception Koch wrote in his 1960 book, A Business Man Looks at Communism, that he found the Soviet Union to be "a land of hunger, misery, and terror.".
Conversely, during his time in the Soviet Union, he toured the countryside with his handler Jerome Livshitz. Livshitz gave Fred Koch what he would call a "liberal education in Communist techniques and methods". Koch was a student of the Communist techniques and methods.
After Koch had learned the last chapter in communism, he saw the last technique was destroying capitalism from within The methodology is one of the same, build a castle in the sand only to tear it down.
The game players of Imperialism were persuaded that the Soviet threat needed to be countered in America.
Today we are persuaded that communism has fallen and today’s war is a War on Terrorism.
However, every step to create a communistic society is at work.
To overtake supremacy the Koch’s would use what they had been taught, Communist techniques and methods. Fred, David and Charles Koch would take advantage of what Fred had learned from the Communists. In doing so, capitalism would have to be used on the American People.
In order for capitalism to generate greater profits than the home market can yield, the merging of banks and industrial cartels produces finance capitalism. This is what the 99% has seen.
The next step is the exportation and investment of capital to countries with under-developed economies. This is what the 99% has seen happen. Rather than meeting the need of the people in America it was more important that countries turning to communism. In this game for Imperialism the people of the free nation are ignored.
In turn, such financial behavior leads to the division of the world among monopolist business companies and the great powers. This is what the 99% sees today.
Therefore, imperialism is the highest stage of capitalism, requiring monopolies of labor, controlling wages, as seen by the 99%,, and natural-resource exploitation, which has been demonstrated time after time after time by Koch Industries, also seen by the 99%, and the exportation of finance capital, rather than goods, to sustain voters, usually illegally, as to influence an election which is an integral function of said economic model.
The super-profits yielded by the 1% of people and their economy, permit businessmen to bribe native politicians — labor leaders and the upper stratum of the working class and to politically prevent the occurrence of worker revolt and labor strikes; hence, the new exploited workers of industrial wage earners who, possessing neither capital nor production means, must earn their living by selling their labor and the forefront of an action or movement that is planned to come.
What is actually happening in the world we live in? People ask what created the span between the 1% and the remaining 99%. Take a deep breath. Reflect on the societies that have ruled the world. The answer is the same as to the question What Created the Fall of the Roman Empire?
A summary outline would look like this:
Fall of the Roman Empire Creation of the 1%
Decline of Morals and Values Yes Yes
Public Health Yes Yes
Political Corruption Yes Yes
Unemployment Yes Yes
Inflation Yes Yes
Urban Decay Yes Yes
Inferior Technology Yes Yes
Military Spending Yes Yes
Look at what caused the fall of Rome in 467 A.D. and the rise of the 1% in 2011 A.D.: Coincidence? I think not.
The things that are done to create Imperialism are the same things that make a nation fall.
It is no secret that the second generation of Koch’s are the prominent leaders for imperialism.
Is the mindset of Charles and David Koch, with the principles of communism, following father Fred’s instructions?
Have Charles and David Koch made their own final Chapter?
Does Charles and David Koch believe they are chartering new territory?
Does Charles and David Koch realize they are repeating history?
And the most important question I have for Charles and David Koch is, are you ready for the Chinese?
