What the actual fuck.
So if I join an extermist group, I can say that I am a CIA operative? Tovi stay classy with that logic of yours.
Yes, that was the point I have made.
You need to wake the F up, what Empire? What Auxilliaries? You have a weird Roman empire fetish that you want to reflect to the US for some reason.
If the U.S wouldn't care about what us "cannon fodder" think, they could have just bombed the entire globe for lulz, then put their flag everywhere and claim countries as theirs. Did that happen?
Oh.
You do not understand what "control" or "influence" means. That do not means that the random goofy is an agent for the CIA. That means that your movment receive money/weapons/political support/ media coverage/ informations etc.
You can activate a terrorist cell under your control to make the national party under your influence win the next election. Both of them (suicide bomber and nationalist activist) won't know they works for the same goal.
That kind of things are really easy to do, because people are stupids. They never want to know what is behind the scene, they want to believe in epic stories with eternal nations and religions. And when you tell them the truth they insult you because you break their dreams.
About the Empire : The head of this empire is The City/Wall Street (I won't develop). The core is USA + UK, Australia/NZ, Canada, Israel+ english offshore islands (Caïman, Virgins, Jersey etc.). They have the same oligarchy, same culture, same laws.
Then you have the allies : NATO, Japan, South Corea, Columbia, Saudi Arabia etc. under influence. They need some military base or military aid.
And economic area : EU, South America ... under WTO rule. They must pay in dollar and accept all trade agreements.
As conventional wars are too expensive (Viet Nam, Iraq, Afghanistan) and can ruin your empire (like Soviet Union in Afghanistan), you must use auxiliaries : Al Qaeda, Contras, Blackwater, Gladio, Otpor (the list is long).
It's a brief picture but it's much more complex than that. I compare it to the Roman empire because it's more similar to it than 3rd Reich, Soviet Union or Napoleon's empires for exemple.
Every politicians around the world are aware about this situation.
The main danger in the 21st is that this empire don't need democracy anymore. In the past it was a good ideology to oppose the to the Communism, Fascism or the religious power, but now the illusion of democracy is sufficient and there is quite no more political opposition.
