Introduction
Let me ask you a few questions. Which country is richest in the world? The answer depends on what you mean by the question. If we talk about citizens, it is not the USA, it is Switzerland, based on per capita GDP. But if you talk about the country, the USA has the largest GDP.
Do you know that half the population of the USA barely makes the two ends meet? They are gloriously poor? No? We will get to it.
Why was America created? It was created to fight or resist the British Empire. The American war for independence was a war against the British.
Why is the USA always in war, directly or indirectly? What is it fighting now? You may have your favourite word as an answer like “protect democracy” or “human values” or anything but that is as far from truth as it can be.
What did Iraq, Libya, Iran, Venezuela, and Russia have in common?
You might say they're all countries that have clashed with the United States. You'd be right. But that's not the real answer. You might say they all have oil. Again, you'd be right, but you're still not hitting the bullseye. Here's what they really share: ** they all tried to challenge how global currency prices are set** . And most people have no idea what that even means.
Now tell us what is Russia, China, Brazil and India has in common? I will not answer this time. You know it now. Short answer is BRICS.
The Question Nobody Asks
When you hear about international conflicts on the news, you get the usual explanations: “spreading democracy,” “fighting terrorism,” “preventing nuclear weapons,” “protecting human rights.” But here's a question that rarely gets asked:
Who decides what a dollar is worth compared to a euro? Or a yuan? Or any currency, for that matter?
Most people assume it's some kind of natural market force. Supply and demand, right? The invisible hand of economics? Wrong.
Those prices are set by just two computer platforms. Two. And they're controlled by the same handful of American financial institutions. Each platform deals with different currency pairs. Eventually it comes down to just one Platform for each currency pair. If you like you may say, these machines control the supply of currency and thereby controlling demand and the prices itself in the process.
Everything else you're about to read in this book; every war, every sanction, every “regime change,” every nuclear threat would make perfect sense once you understand this simple fact. America didn't wake up one day and decide to rule the world. Instead, they found themselves with massive industrial capacity after World War II while everyone else was rebuilding from rubble. Then, through a series of accidents and clever moves, they ended up controlling the infrastructure that determines global currency prices.
What happened next was almost inevitable. Once you control how money works globally, every other form of influence follows. You no longer need to conquer nations; you only need the world to keep using your system.
Yet this power, instead of being used to uplift ordinary Americans, was largely spent on protecting the power itself. And it is not invincible. The pandemic exposed its limits. The Afghan Taliban defied it. Russia cannot be coerced into halting the war in Ukraine. Even China, which cut down soybean purchases and threatened to withhold rare earth minerals, cannot be forced into submission by mere tariff threats. Somalians ignored it. The Houthi of Yemen fired on ships of the United States, beating it to retreat from the Gulf of Aden.
Now, American technology companies are monopolies to control the flow of information. They make kind of profits which surpass the GDP of many countries. It has never happened before in the history of the world. This was result of unlimited supply of money i.e. dollar at nearly zero rates of interest.
Empires that are born by accident can just as easily fall by accident. That is the course we are witnessing now. It is not a question of if, but when. That is the real question that no one can answer.
But it will be demonstrated that the beginning of decline is far more pronounced than it appears in newspapers. In these pages, you'll read about:
America’s founding fathers who did not want a government much less an empire
America’s past, which is its current liability
Nuclear weapons and how they accidentally created dollar dominance
Oil wars that weren't really about oil
Space programs designed to protect financial infrastructure
Academic institutions that teach self-destructive economic theories
Revolutions that did not look like what they really were
Drift Governance Policies that have no strategic depth now
The rise of Russia and China and India as they build alternative systems
Each chapter might seem like a separate story. But they're all connected by one hidden thread: ** the fight for control over global currency and protecting the empire** . Once you see that thread, you can't be unseen. Every news story starts making sense in a completely different way.
By the end of this book, you'll understand:
Why do certain countries keep ending up in America's cross-hair? (hint: it's not about democracy)
How two computer platforms in London and Chicago control more wealth than any emperor in history ever did
Why your gas prices, your grocery bills, and your electricity costs are connected to geopolitical conflicts happening thousands of miles away
How a system that started as “better technology” became the most sophisticated control mechanism ever created
A clamour for resources and territories, especially in the North, recently
Why the American Empire is starting to crumble, and what might replace it
A Different Kind of History
This isn't a history book in the traditional sense. We're not going to march through events chronologically or debate whether presidents were good or bad people. Personalities are irrelevant but the decisions they took are relevant.
We will investigate a bundle of events together mostly within the past century but occasionally may have to revisit events deeper in the past. It is the effort to keep the language conversational but in some of the chapters, it may get academic or boring. Feel free to skip and get back to read it later. It would become interesting when you have finished reading the whole book.
Experts complicate simple truths to protect their established positions. This book presents observable reality without academic theatre. Numbers and facts do not lie if you understand the language they speak.
Instead, we're going to look at the machinery hidden in plain sight, that makes the modern world work. The infrastructure that most people never see, but that affects every aspect of their daily lives. We have heard “Deep State” too many times in recent past. It looks like some kind of government. It is not. It is vested interest of people who want a “status quo” or no change in the way things work.
We're going to follow the money. Not the money you can see but the money that flows through systems most people don't even know exist. Understanding how it works isn't just academic knowledge. It's the key to understanding why the world works the way it does and where it might beheaded next.
So, let's begin. Let's pullback the curtain on the most powerful empire inhuman history and yet hidden in plain sight. * Once you see it, you'll never look at the world the same way again.*
An Empire that nobody planned, that most people can't see, and that may not survive the next decade.
Welcome to the story of the American Empire. We will begin with the beginning. It is important to know how the USA was founded and what were the objectives for its creation.
