unlike the Soviets, were insulated within their North Atlantic metropolis by the
possession of a global, as distinct from a merely continental, base of economic rapine, so
the economic and political manifestations of the Soviet collapse were more spectacular.
The day of reckoning for the Anglo-Americans was not far off, but in the meantime the
breathtaking collapse of the Soviets opened up megalomaniac vistas to the custodians of
the Imperial idea in London drawing rooms and English country houses. The
practitioners of the Great Game of geopolitics were now enticed by the perspective of the
Single Empire, a worldwide Imperium that would be a purely Anglo-Saxon show, with
the Russians and Chinese forced to knuckle under. Like the contemporaries of the Duke
of Wellington in 1815, the imbecilic Anglo-American think-tankers and financiers
contemplated the chimera of a new century of world domination, not unlike the British
world supremacy that had extended from the Congress of Vienna until the First World
War. The old Skull and Bones slogan of Henry Luce's "American Century" of 1945,
which had been robbed of its splendid lustre by the Russians and the Cold War, could
now ride again.
True, there were still some obstacles. The Great Russian rout meant that German
reunification could not be avoided, which brought with it the danger of a
Wirtschaftswunder reaching from the Atlantic to the Urals. That, and the continued
economic dynamism of the Japanese-oriented sphere in the Far East, would be
combatted, by economic conflicts and trade wars that would take advantage of the Anglo-
American control of raw materials and above all oil, with the Anglo-American lease on
the Persian Gulf to be vigorously reaffirmed. Even so, the end of the partition of
Germany was a real trauma for the Anglo-Saxons, and would elicit a wave of true
hysteria on the part of Mrs. Thatcher, Nicholas Ridley, and the rest of their circle, and a
parallel public episode of consternation and chagrin on the part of Bush. The Anglo-
Americans were moved to sweeping countermeasures. A little further down the line, a
war in the Balkans could bring chaos to the German economic Hinterland. From the
standpoint of British and Kissingerian geopolitics, the countermeasures were necessary to
restore the balance of power, which now risked shifting in favor of the new Germany.
German ascendancy would mean that London would occupy the place to which
Thatcher's economics had entitled that wretched nation- a niche of impotence,
impoverishment, isolation, and irrelevance. But the British were determined to be
important, and war was a way to attain that goal.
There were also governments in the developing sector whose obedience to the Anglo-
Saxon supermen was in doubt. The 250,000,000 Arabs, who were in turn the vanguard of
a billion Moslems, would always be intractable. The out-of-area deployments doctrine of
the Atlantic Alliance would now be the framework for the ritual immolation of the
leading Arab state, which happened to be Iraq. Later, there would be time to crush and
dismember India, Malaysia, Brazil, Indonesia and some others.
Then there was the inherent demographic weakness of the Anglo-Saxons, especially the
falling birth rate, now exacerbated by Hollywood, television, and heavy metal. How
could such a small master race prevail against the black, brown, yellow, Mediterranean
