The Soon Coming Judgment Of God Upon America and How To Escape It                46
Forum with Mikhail Gorbachev in 1995. The Forum seeks to establish a global network of
leaders to help guide the world into a sustainable global civilization, a NWO. Garrison stated:
The world has not seen power at the magnitude of Rome’s until the
emergence of the United States….
As the President stated in the National Security Statement of September
2002, the U.S. can and will act preemptively anywhere and at any time it deems
appropriate to secure its national interests…. The invasion of Iraq in defiance of
overwhelming opposition, both in world public opinion and in the UN Security
Council, has produced a situation in which many have concluded that America,
the global leader, has become America, the rogue imperium. In a strange
synchronicity, America is reaching the point of global dominion and
simultaneously triggering a global opprobrium for the U.S….
I assert that the United States is an empire: it is a continuation of history as
we have known it, defining empire as it classically has been defined: the control
of one nation over an aggregate of nations. Through its own force and through
mediating institutions such as the World Bank and International Monetary Fund,
along with numerous other bilateral and multilateral institutions, the US now
controls more nations in more ways than any nation in history….
What is it that constitutes durable imperial power? This is the question I
would like to ask because it not only affects the United States but the entire world
over which the United States now has dominion. Now and for the foreseeable
future, American power and the question of global governance have become and
will remain inseparably intertwined.
