‘American Empire’? Really?
The more “global” our government and economy becomes (like the Fed bailing out foreign banks and our troops being used upon the decisions of the UN and UN taxation globalists want to enact, free trade agreements, etc.) the more we are an empire ruling over the world. (Add to this what our government officials want but have not gotten yet - UN taxation on fuel and financial deals, a global currency, a global court with global law that supercedes our law, etc.)
Multi-culturalism is a mini UN set up where a bunch of foreign tribes compete for the American government to shower favors on their foreign markets, people and lands.
They call our president “the leader of the free world”! Sounds like an Emperor to me!
