The Hidden Machinery of Power: The Empire’s Toolbox

What can we learn from the war in Ukraine, Israel’s brutal genocide of Palestinians, and its aggression across the Middle East?

These events expose a grim reality: U.S. foreign policy, cloaked in the rhetoric of democracy and cooperation, operates as a force of imperialism, perpetuating domination under the guise of noble ideals.

Since World War II, the United States has consistently dressed its military interventions in the language of liberty—”spreading democracy,” “defending freedom,” or “fighting terrorism.” Yet behind these platitudes lies a calculated pursuit of global hegemony. From Iraq and Afghanistan to Latin America, the real agenda is the violent assertion of U.S. dominance, often at the expense of the very democratic principles it claims to uphold.

The moral outrage of Washington is always selective. It is not the atrocities themselves that matter but whether they align with U.S. strategic interests. In Iraq, fabricated claims of weapons of mass destruction justified an illegal invasion that devastated a nation. In Vietnam, the pretence of fighting communism led to untold suffering and disregard for sovereignty. In Afghanistan, decades of conflict were fueled by U.S. actions under the guise of countering Soviet influence.

The U.S. preaches democracy but supports authoritarian regimes when it suits its goals—Saudi Arabia, apartheid South Africa, Pinochet’s Chile. Salvador Allende, a democratically elected leader, was overthrown in 1973 with U.S. backing. This hypocrisy is central to U.S. multilateralism, where the “rules-based international order” is a weaponized concept: international law for others, but impunity for the United States and its allies.

At the core of this strategy lies NATO’s relentless expansion, supported by a sprawling network of around 750 military bases in 80 countries worldwide. These serve not to foster peace but to maintain control, intimidate adversaries, and prepare the ground for regime change. The language of security is used to justify actions that perpetuate global inequality, displace populations, and destabilize regions.

The U.S.-led system concentrates wealth among elites, Big Tech corporations, financial corporations, resource corporations, and the military sector, eroding the middle classes and exacerbating global inequality. Allegiance to the US will not protect its allies and anybody from its violence. From trade tariffs and asset freezes to the weaponization of economic penalties against adversaries, the United States employs a range of mechanisms to maintain its hegemony.

The “toolbox” of U.S. domination is extensive: economic sanctions, political destabilization, proxy wars, propaganda, and military coercion. These tools are blended to maximize their effect. Propaganda manipulates public opinion, painting aggression as a necessity or benevolence. Economic sanctions choke populations by destroying the economy, creating desperation by eliminating social services and impoverishing people, which fuels unrest. At the same time, USAID works with NGOs officially “to deliver services, enrich democratic processes, and meet constituent needs in all regions and sectors,” informally helping intelligence agencies to inflame dissent and foster regime change.

The Middle East today is a case study in this machinery. Sanctions, covert operations, and the calculated manipulation of the “War on Terror” are wielded to advance U.S. and allied interests. Israel’s actions, supported by Washington, serve as a proxy for reshaping the region under the pretext of fighting terrorism when the goal is to grab land and resources in the Middle East.

To understand these events, one must look beyond the rhetoric of the imperialist machinery driving them. The U.S. does not wage these wars to defend democracy but to secure its position as the world’s dominant power, ensuring its rules apply to others while it operates above them. Recognizing this pattern offers a lens to comprehend not only the immediate conflicts but the larger system of control shaping our world.

Dismantling Regime Change Machinery- TheDuran

The "Hit Man" in Action: John Perkins Confesses Himself

American-Backed Coups, Mapped by Johnny Harris

I was born in 1954, and I’ve seen nothing but US wars of choice and CIA ops, and I’m tired of them. There were no fewer than 64 covert regime change operations by the United States, 64 between 1947 and 1989.

The Deep State Unveiled: How Unelected Power Undermines Democracy

Johnny Harris, an Emmy-winning journalist and New York Times contributor, investigates the pervasive influence of the deep state by examining historical documents and speaking to experts. His exploration reveals a stark reality: the deep state is not a conspiracy but a network of unelected officials and institutions operating with autonomy and secrecy, often beyond democratic oversight.

The origins of this power structure are rooted in institutions like the CIA, which, established to centralize intelligence, quickly expanded into a global force conducting covert operations. From orchestrating coups in Iran, Guatemala, Congo, and Chile to influencing elections in Italy, the CIA has repeatedly acted without accountability, pursuing agendas aligned more with elite interests than the public good. Its ambiguous mandate to undertake “other functions and duties” enabled unchecked operations, shielding its actions from scrutiny and democratic control.

The CIA’s misuse of personal information to blackmail politicians underscores the chilling dynamics of the deep state. Fear of exposure or retaliation has silenced lawmakers who might otherwise challenge these shadowy entities. This culture of impunity is mirrored across agencies like the NSA and FBI, where informal networks of senior officials manipulate national security policies, often transcending presidential administrations.

This nexus of government and corporate power solidifies the deep state’s grip, where public authority serves private interests. Defence contractors, multinational corporations, and intelligence agencies collaborate to prioritize elite agendas, operating in secrecy and bypassing democratic accountability. Harris’ investigation exposes this troubling dynamic, urging a reckoning with the unaccountable forces shaping policy in ways that erode democratic principles and public trust.

The Elite Networks Shaping Global Power and Suppressing Democracy

The term “elite club” serves as a stark illustration of the deep state’s covert yet far-reaching influence—where decisions that shape national and global affairs are made behind closed doors, shielded from public scrutiny. Far from being a monolithic entity, this elite operates as a tangled web of intelligence networks, military-industrial interests, corporate powerhouses, financial institutions, and social alliances. These actors move seamlessly between government, industry, and think tanks, their influence unchecked by transparency or accountability. This is governance not by consent but by shadow, prioritizing their power and profits above the needs of ordinary people.

Take, for example, the Five Eyes Alliance, a transnational intelligence-sharing network involving the U.S., U.K., Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. It operates in secrecy, its activities insulated from the public eye, representing the very antithesis of democratic oversight. Another tentacle of this machinery is the military-industrial complex, that unholy trinity of defence contractors, policymakers, and the armed forces. Giants like Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, and Boeing dictate defence budgets and foreign policy, their strategies amplified by think tanks like the RAND Corporation and the CSIS, which are often funded by the same defence contractors they serve.

Let’s not forget the role of Big Tech. Companies like Google, Meta, Amazon, Microsoft, and Apple are indispensable to the Israeli Defence Forces (IDF), providing the technological backbone—cloud services, storage, and artificial intelligence—without which Israel’s military would struggle to carry out its systematic violence against Palestinians. As detailed in my article, these corporations enable the infrastructure of oppression, merging corporate power with state violence.

The financial sector is another lifeline of the deep state, manipulating economic policies through entities like BlackRock, the Federal Reserve, hedge funds, and global financial institutions such as the IMF and the World Bank. Remember 2008? The Obama administration, faced with a crisis engineered by reckless banks, chose to save those very institutions while ordinary people bore the brunt of the disaster.

Power is further consolidated in exclusive gatherings like the Bilderberg Group, the World Economic Forum (WEF), and Bohemian Grove, where political leaders, corporate executives, and financiers forge informal agreements prioritizing their shared interests over those of the public.

The media, too, plays a sinister role—not just as a watchdog but as a collaborator in shaping narratives that sustain this shadowy power structure. The CIA’s Operation Mockingbird, which planted operatives in media outlets to skew public perception, finds a chilling echo in today’s biased coverage of events like the Israel genocide of Palestinians. Owen Jones’ exposé of the BBC’s internal biases reveals how mainstream outlets perpetuate disinformation, shielding Western-backed atrocities from scrutiny.

And what of the ongoing genocide in Gaza? The complicity of Western nations and their media silence underscores how the deep state functions not just in the shadows but in plain sight. The military, corporations, finance, and media have formed a seamless nexus, one that profits from war, suffering, and oppression. This is not democracy. It is a machine of control and exploitation, and the public—manipulated, surveilled, and lied to—is its ultimate casualty.

BBC, CNN, Sky, LBC, Washington Post, New York Times, Financial Times, Guardian, The Times, Telegraph, Corriere della Sera, Repubblica, La Stampa, Libero, il Giornale, il Foglio, and Huffington Post, for instance, all made possible the genocide.

Empire’s Shadow: Colonialism, Military Dominance, and the Global Spread of Influence

Five years ago, the historian Daniel Immerwahr wrote “How to Hide an Empire: A History of the Greater United States.” Immerwahr explains that when most people think of the United States, they imagine the contiguous 48 states. However, those borders have only represented the country for three years of its history. He sought to write a history of the greater United States, including all territories under its jurisdiction. He highlights that the creation of the U.S. empire did not begin with the Spanish-American War of 1898, as many histories suggest, but earlier, during westward expansion. The Constitution provides little guidance about territories beyond the territorial clause, but the Northwest Ordinance shaped how the U.S. expanded. It established a process for territories to become states, but only if populated by white settlers. Immerwahr discusses how territories like Indian Territory (now Oklahoma) attempted statehood, proposing the State of Sequoyah, which would have had a Native American majority. However, this was rejected, and the area became part of the white-majority state of Oklahoma. Lastly, Immerwahr examines the role of language in U.S. territories. Empires often enforce linguistic and cultural homogeneity, and the U.S. was no exception. The United States has forcibly erased native languages in colonial territories and oversaw brutal medical experiments on marginalized populations, like in Puerto Rico, where Cornelius Rhodes exemplified this cruelty, conducting inhumane experiments on locals, dismissing them as “experimental animals,” and escaping justice.

Meanwhile, America’s expansionist ambitions extended to uninhabited islands repurposed as strategic military outposts and staging grounds for experiments on soldiers—many of them Puerto Rican. Even as these actions unfolded, language became a tool of erasure, reframing “colonies” as “territories” to obscure the imperialist agenda.

Across the Pacific and beyond, the United States’ “pointillist empire” of bases and artificial islands continues to project power, echoing the strategies of imperial predecessors while redefining modern colonialism.

Today, the echoes of this dominance reverberate through Trump’s rhetoric. He expresses a desire to claim Greenland from the small nation of Denmark and envisions annexing Canada as the 51st state, even referring to Prime Minister Trudeau as the “governor” of this hypothetical new addition to the United States.

The Profiteers of War: How Militarism Undermines Democracy

Europe needs to grasp that the US is not a reliable ally. US leaders are making it clear they will not hesitate to seize territory, violate international law, interfere in elections, destroy the European economy, and send Europeans to die in proxy wars if it serves their material interests.

Behind NATO’s militarism lies a deeply entrenched system of profiteering that prioritizes corporate greed over the welfare of European citizens. Western military contractors have effectively hijacked democracies, eroding their foundations while fueling unnecessary wars. These corporations peddle overpriced, overrated weapons, siphoning public resources, bankrupting nations, and impoverishing their populations—all in the name of “security.”

NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte’s recent address to the European Parliament was a textbook example of this narrative in action. Framed as a call to “protect European security,” his speech emphasized the need for increased defence spending, stronger NATO-EU cooperation, and ramped-up military production. He warned that the outcome of the war in Ukraine would determine Europe’s future, calling for unity among NATO allies and advocating for higher military spending, claiming the current 2% target is inadequate.

But who decides that this spending target is insufficient? The United States.

Global map showing US military bases and troop numbers across 159 countries, including major presences in Japan and Germany.

And what justifications are used? A carefully curated list of existential threats—Russia, China, terrorism, disinformation, climate change, and instability in regions like the Western Balkans and the Mediterranean. These narratives of Russophobia, Chinaphobia, and Islamophobia, paired with vague references to “hybrid threats,” serve as the foundation for propaganda warfare, designed to manufacture consent for endless militarization.

What is Rutte asking for? Not investments in industrialization, healthcare, education, poverty alleviation, or crumbling infrastructure—urgent human needs that would improve lives—but instead cutting them and doubling down on military expenditures.

This agenda escalates wars that endanger humanity’s survival, driving systemic collapse under the guise of protecting peace. Germany’s current struggles exemplify the consequences of this approach: a nation that was the driver of the European economy is funnelling resources into militarization while its citizens face rising inequality, economic instability, and neglected public services. This is not security—it is a roadmap to societal disintegration. NATO’s call for increased spending does not defend democracy; it sacrifices it on the altar of American corporate greed.

Ukraine: A Battlefield of Narratives, Resources, and Reckoning

Now we turn to Ukraine, celebrated in Western capitals as a moral front line against Russia’s so-called “unprovoked aggression.” The irony is breathtaking. Recall 1962, when the United States brought the world to the brink of nuclear catastrophe over Soviet missiles in Cuba—an intolerable threat at its doorstep. Why, then, should Vladimir Putin quietly accept NATO’s relentless advance, with troops and weapons amassed along Russia’s borders?

The Western narrative conveniently erases the pivotal events of 2014. That year, a coup in Ukraine—brazenly orchestrated with U.S. backing—unfolded before our eyes.

The infamous leaked call between Victoria Nuland and Geoffrey Pyatt exposed American officials selecting Ukraine’s next government as if from a menu. This was no triumph of democracy; it was imperialism masquerading as liberation. (Source: BBC).

Fast forward to 2024, and the mask slips further. U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham, during a visit to Ukraine, declared the war’s real stakes: “This war is about money.” Ukraine, he noted, holds vast reserves of rare earth minerals worth trillions, alongside agricultural exports that sustain much of the Global South. “They’re ready to do a deal with us, not the Russians,” Graham stated bluntly, reducing Ukraine’s suffering to an economic transaction. For Washington, Ukraine is not a victim to protect but a prize to exploit.

Jean-Daniel Ruch, the former Swiss ambassador to Turkey, laid bare the grim truth in a recent interview: the US and UK deliberately sabotaged near-successful peace talks to prolong the war and strike at Russia’s very core. He argues that this is not just a strategic move—it’s a deeply immoral act, perpetrated with full awareness of the catastrophic consequences that would unfold mass escalation and untold suffering.

Glenn Diesen’s The Ukraine War & the Eurasian World Order sounds an urgent alarm. As Western-led hegemony unravels, the stakes for global security could not be higher. If this crisis isn’t met with genuine diplomacy and systemic change, the consequences will stretch far beyond economic collapse—they will imperil the very ideals of peace and democracy. This is not just a conflict; it is a reckoning. See Jeffrey Sachs’ interview with Prof. Glenn Diesen.

Romania and Beyond: Democracy Undone in NATO’s Shadow

Eastern Europe, including Romania, Georgia, and Poland, faces regime changes like the US did in Ukraine in 2014.

Democracy in Romania is being systematically eroded under the influence of the European Union and NATO, mirroring tactics deployed in Moldova, Ukraine, and Georgia. The playbook is as transparent as it is insidious: if a candidate champions NATO’s agenda, opposing Russia with zeal, their victory is celebrated as a beacon of “freedom, truth, and justice.”

But suppose a candidate dares to advocate for peace in Romania, Georgia, Poland, or Ukraine and pursue EU integration while seeking dialogue with Russia. In that case, the narrative swiftly changes—elections are suddenly tainted with cries of “Russian interference.”

The suppression of anti-war voices in Romania and across Eastern Europe lays bare NATO’s willingness to expand its conflict zones under the guise of democratic values. In Romania, Călin Georgescu, an anti-war candidate and the frontrunner for the presidency, became a target of extraordinary resistance. His campaign met a dramatic end when the presidential elections were abruptly annulled by a panel of nine judges. In the aftermath, sweeping new laws handed control of Romania’s military to the United States. Georgescu himself faced personal attacks—his internet and heating were cut off, his supporters were arrested en masse, and dissent was stifled through aggressive censorship. Georgescu’s TikTok campaign was banned, the X platform heavily restricted, and Realitatea Plus TV, the sole critical broadcaster, was silenced. Meanwhile, NATO moved forward with plans to establish the largest NATO military base in Europe, in southeast Romania, Constanta, near the border with Ukraine, signalling the country’s intended role as the next front in the ongoing war.

The same pattern plays out in Moldova, where pro-NATO leaders are lionized and anti-war candidates advocating balanced policies are swiftly undermined with accusations of Kremlin meddling.

In Georgia, the script evolves but remains familiar. Weeks of protests against the EU- and NATO-backed government culminated in the December 2024 presidential elections. Mikhail Kavelashvili claimed victory with the support of 200 parliamentary votes. Yet, in a move that epitomizes instability, former President Salome Zourabichvili has refused to concede, declaring herself the rightful leader and further deepening the country’s political crisis. The charade didn’t work for now.

Across these nations, the rhetoric of democracy serves as a veneer for a deeper agenda: turning Eastern Europe into a battleground while tightening NATO’s grip on the region. Europe has lost its sovereignty, and the US is destroying its economy. The European politicians are letting this happen, turning to a war economy. What is presented as a struggle for freedom is, in truth, a march toward escalating confrontation.

The Middle East: Genocide, Occupation, and the Geopolitics of Plunder

In the Middle East, Palestinians endure an unrelenting genocide under the shadow of Israeli apartheid, facilitated by the U.S.-backed Palestinian Authority. Tasked with enforcing Israel’s control in the West Bank, the PA operates against the will of the Palestinian majority. Reports from UN Human Rights reveal a chilling reality of underground prisons and systematic torture, underscoring the depth of repression engineered with international complicity.

Meanwhile, the dismantling of Syria continues as part of a U.S.-led agenda, with Israel playing a pivotal role in reshaping the Eastern Mediterranean and West Asia. On December 8, 2024, the Assad government fell, and the West hailed Syria’s so-called “liberators.”

Yet these are Islamist factions: HST and Abu Muhammad al-Julani, a founding figure of Al-Qaeda’s Syrian branch who was part of ISIS. HTS is currently labelled a “terrorist” organization by the United Nations, Turkey, the US, and the European Union.

Meanwhile, Israel exploits the gas riches of the Mediterranean, laying pipelines that reshape the region’s geopolitical landscape. The U.S. plunders Syria’s oil, undermines China’s Belt and Road Initiative, and deepens its military entrenchment across the region. This is not liberation but systematic devastation—a new colonial order cloaked in the language of freedom and security.

The term “terrorist organization” serves as a narrative weapon of empire. In this lexicon, it translates to “disobedient population needing bombs.”

Rebalancing Power: How BRICS is Redefining Economic and Geopolitical Influence

Professor Jeffrey Sachs analyzes how “historically, there was a moment of potential cooperation during the 1990s when Russia joined the G7 to form the G8. Leaders like Mikhail Gorbachev and Boris Yeltsin sought peaceful integration with the West. However, this opportunity was undermined by US arrogance and neoconservative agendas aimed at global dominance. Simultaneously, policies driven by hardline Zionist goals, such as those advocated by Benjamin Netanyahu, pushed for destabilizing Middle Eastern regimes, leading to costly wars with devastating consequences for both the US and the region. Today, the world is at a crossroads, with rising powers like China, Russia, and their allies forging new paths through frameworks like BRICS. Altogether, the 10 BRICS nations account for 36% of global output, compared to the G7’s 30%. Including the additional 26 countries at the meeting, this group represented 47% of global output and 57% of the population. These numbers highlight a shifting balance of power, challenging outdated notions of Western dominance.”

For Professor Richard Wolf, the reality is stark: “the United States has outsourced the bulk of its manufacturing to countries like China, India, and Brazil—many parts of BRICS. Why? Wages in the U.S. are too high for corporations aiming to maximize profits, and the growing global market is no longer centred here. China and BRICS nations now represent over 55% of the world’s population, compared to just 4.5% in the U.S. These numbers should be a wake-up call before enacting reckless policies. The decline isn’t inevitable. What’s needed isn’t trade wars or tariff policies, but a grassroots movement—a collective push from the American people. The rest of the world would welcome it. As Americans, we must confront the truth: our political establishment is bankrupt. To avoid going down with the empire, we need to forge a new path forward. The power to change lies in our hands.”

The resignation of Canada’s Finance Minister, Chrystia Freeland, on December 16, 2024, underlines the deepening fault lines within Western leadership. Freeland cited “irreconcilable differences” with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau over how to respond to the U.S. administration’s latest barrage of tariff threats, wielded by President Donald Trump as instruments of economic warfare.

This episode is emblematic of a world in flux, where the ascendancy of BRICS and China’s unrelenting economic rise challenge the long-entrenched dominance of the U.S.-led capitalist order. For decades, Washington has relied on coercive tools—sanctions, threats, and the weaponization of global institutions—to enforce compliance. Today, over 60% of developing nations are subject to U.S. sanctions, a damning indictment of a system that punishes dissent and undermines sovereignty.

Yet, resistance is growing. BRICS and allied nations are crafting a blueprint for a more equitable global order. Their vision is rooted in economic independence—liberating trade, finance, and monetary systems from U.S. control to safeguard against arbitrary sanctions that destabilize nations at will. This push for sovereignty is not just an economic strategy; it is an act of defiance against imperial domination.

True justice demands dismantling the double standards of the imperial powers. The principle of international law must be upheld universally—not wielded selectively to protect hegemony. The mechanisms of modern empire, from manipulating multilateral bodies to redefining terrorism for political convenience, have been laid bare. These masks have slipped, revealing a system built on subjugation rather than fairness.

A multipolar world represents not just a shift in power but a promise of accountability, equality, and peace. Its realization, however, depends on nations uniting to challenge imperial narratives and practices. This is not just about resisting the old order but building a new one—a world where justice is not an ideal but a reality.
