Abby Martin: Rise Of A US Corporate Empire & Global Resistance Bringing It To Its Knees - YouTube
The U.S. empire gives all its predecessors a run for their money,
especially in terms of human and resource exploitation. But is
resistance building that could bring the U.S. empire to its knees,
MintPress Editor-in-Chief Mnar Muhawesh asks Abby Martin, host of “The
Empire Files.”
The swords and horses of the empires of antiquity
have been replaced with shiny metal guns, drones and tanks. And our
rulers are made up of a 1% elite and multinational corporations aiming
to totally dominate the world -- a world where they own 60% of the
wealth.
The tentacles of empire today stretch throughout the
world via U.S. military alliances with institutions like NATO. The U.S.
works with the U.N. and big banks like the IMF and World Bank to exploit
resources and wealth, and to topple democratically-elected governments
and prop up dictators instead.
Yet the corporate media will
never refer to the United States as an empire, nor will it cover the
horrors of exploitation at home and abroad.
