USA’s Military/Monetary Hegemony is Over

September 6, 2025

We Forced the World to Unite…Against US!

Freedom, Indiana – Our nation’s founders warned us.  Eisenhower warned us.  Innumerable politicians, economists and even losers like me have warned through generations and decades, against central banks, empire-building, entangling-alliance meddling, nannying, and military/monetary bullying.  Our costs are rising, our standard of living is falling, and the recent meeting of international leaders, and expo of military might in Beijing, presaged that USA’s costly exertions of global domination will end, one way, or another.  As all proud empires fall, so shall ours. 

It’s not all Trump’s fault.  Our century-old fiat currency system and Federal Reserve Bank cabal doomed us to the twin perils of the Cantillon Effect, which made the rich, richer at the expense of the non-Investment Class; and, since the Breton Woods Agreement after WWII, the Triffin Paradox, which describes the inflation and inevitable collapse of the dollar’s dominance as the global Reserve Currency.

But Trump’s manic gyrations of military and monetary bullying, piling on more international sanctions on everybody, particularly after the EU/Biden freezing of Russian assets, and recently, the helter-skelter tariffs and regime change efforts, accelerated moves already begun by nations around the world, to end our empire’s destructive carrot-and-mostly-stick manipulation and subjugation of the planet.  Economic alliances like BRICS and ASEAN, and a new military axis of China, Russia, Iran and North Korea, now comprise most of the world’s population, and economic production.  We’ve funded, armed and trained our enemies, and betrayed our friends.  We turned against what made this nation successful, and subjected ourselves to demagogues and plutocrats.  We have literally forced most of the world to turn against us. Who can blame them?

But we can come out of this OK if we do a few things that should’ve been done long ago.

First, stand-down our Military-Industrial Monster, and focus on free trade.  Real free trade.  Now.  Today.  Globally.  We ought to publicly issue a very humble and honest mea culpa that we’re broke, and that we can no longer govern, aid, punish, defend or nanny any country but our own.  Sorry.

Second, End the Fed, and reestablish a sound, and BTW, constitutional, monetary system.  G. Edward Griffin wrote a workable, stepwise plan to do this in “The Creature from Jekyll Island.”  I’m not aware of a better plan.

Finally, and this is the hardest sell, but must happen if we’re to avoid casting our seniors into ditches.  We must phase-out and privatize both Social Security and Medicare.  I’m on SS and Medicare myself, and I’m certain this would be a massive improvement for all of us, not the catastrophe our rulers would have you believe.  This would stop our slide into destitution, and start us marching toward real prosperity. 

If we’d prefer to continue our acceleration toward destitution and the sociopolitical drainpipes of history, we can of course keep reelecting the corrupt millionaire politicians that are protecting the Epstein files and care more about Netanyahu, than you. 

But if you give anything I’ve said above any credit at all, please start pressuring the politicians we’ve been reelecting, AND start looking now, today, for better replacements.  Encourage people that you know would be moral, responsible, constitutional public servants to run for office, and/or run yourself.

We can fix this, or at least clean up a big mess and avoid real catastrophe.  But the clock is ticking, and the USA now has real competition for King of this rock.  And that doesn’t have to be the end of the world.

Through three decades, I’ve written, spoken, sued and campaigned against corruption, the danger of war, collapse of the dollar, rise of BRICS against us, and in general, the fall of the USA Empire.  I’ve exhaustively proven that the unconstitutional, self-appointed and inherently-divisive “Two Party System” our founders warned against, has to go.  And for thirty years, I’ve been proposing solutions that are not only different from what the crony parties foist upon us, they’re also proven to work better than anything humans have ever tried.  Of course, for thirty years, I’ve also been fighting an organized system of deceit and mind-hacking.  Sigh…

But all of that was in a looking-forward, prepare-for-the-future mode that is now too late.  It’s too late to avoid major financial calamity, social unrest and, well…political governments do have a 100% eventual failure rate, after all.  No matter what we do now, USA hegemony is done.  Our standard of living will fall. …As it has begun falling already.

But what then?  We’ll have an awful mess to clean up.  How big a mess?  Will we clean it up?  Can we come back, better-than-ever?

That depends upon what we do with foreign entanglements and what Eisenhower called “the military-industrial complex,” and the “scientific-technological elite,” right now.  More importantly, it depends upon how We The People decide to live, right now.  And I mean, like, right now – before self-immolation in nuclear war.

I of course hope I’m wrong about the war with Iran that’s been on the Greater Israel Plan list of nations to destroy for decades. But Iran is powerful in its own right, and has strong ties to both Russia, and of increasing importance, China. A war on Israel’s behalf could end up a global catastrophe. It will at least be a tragic mistake with long-lasting consequences…at the very least will be debt, inflation, and skyrocketing fuel prices.

We The People have always had the numbers, and power, and accountability over everything.  We have both weapons of peaceful revolution in our votes, but also the power of nullification in our actions.  It’s only by ignorance and passive obedience that we humans are ever oppressed, enslaved and murdered by the millions, by the governments we empower.

It’s time to choose.  What next, my fellow citizens?

Liberty or Bust!

Can rethink our war policy, please?

Freedom, Indiana – Author Andrew Horning is the Libertarian Party of Indiana’s candidate for Indiana’s US Senate seat in 2024.

With my mother’s side of the family long disregarding some genealogical and DNA evidence to the contrary, I allege that I am not at all Jewish.  I certainly wasn’t raised in any way to make me claim hereditary ownership of Palestine, or maintain enmity toward the sons of Ishmael.  I’ve in fact read a lot of history about Zionism, and the many prophetic warnings from T.E. Lawrence about western meddling in the Middle East.  So perhaps this disqualifies me from saying that we citizens, voters and taxpayers of the US of A, should stay the !@#$ out of the Middle East, and stop serving that shyster Netanyahu’s desire to cajole every nuclear power (including and especially the forever-almost-nuclear power, Iran) on the planet into war. 

After all, these days, only some people are allowed to speak on particular subjects.

But I nevertheless have what I think are good reasons for my disinclination toward WWIII and self-immolation, no matter the geographic spark of the conflagration:  We’re past-broke, falling apart in every way, and on the verge of a very ugly multi-faceted civil war over, among other things, illegal aliens and partisan idolatry.  In other words, We The People are a hot mess, are in no condition, and simply cannot afford, what is already a rapidly escalating global war with a growing number of BRICS block nations who’ve tired of our global hegemony.  Besides, we’ve not finished our war on Russia yet.

However, I can offer instead, proven solutions to our internal problems that would set us on a course toward peace, prosperity, security, justice, as well as political and economic freedom such that none of us alive today have ever experienced.  I suggest we consider this offer, instead of serving the ravenous greed and power lust of the Malthusian eugenicist puppet master psychopaths pushing the world toward Armageddon.

Once we have, as suggested by our Declaration of Independence, righted ourselves by opposing the political forms to which we are accustomed, then we can go ahead and discuss blowing up the planet.

Does that sound reasonable?

The coming monetary catastrophe

For Immediate Release

Horning for US Senate

July 22, 2024

Freedom, Indiana – Author Andrew Horning is the Libertarian Party of Indiana’s candidate for Indiana’s US Senate seat in 2024.

For most of the last three decades, I’ve written extensively about the USA’s monetary madness, inflation, impending monetary/economic and social collapse, and how to fix it all.  But now’s not the time to detail the Cantillon Effect, the Triffin Paradox or the still-constitutionally-required gold/silver “specie” backing of all official notes and currency, because we are about to get smacked upside the head by a world that is sick of our $#!+.

Some necessary history: Before our entry into WWII, the USA had acquired a huge percentage of the world’s monetary gold, and still had a fair bit of it after the war.  So, given the stability and growth of our society back then, the Breton Woods agreement made the US Dollar an at least partial “reserve currency” for the world – a sort of monetary exchange/credit card system that paid the USA a debt-based credit of 2-3% on all dollar-denominated transactions because of our inherently inflationary “fiat currency” Fed scheme.  This is what the French Minister of Finance Valéry Giscard d’Estaing famously called our nation’s “exorbitant privilege.”   So, in 1967, Charles de Gaulle called the bluff on the USA’s gold reserves on the claim that we’d spent it all on the CIA, Vietnam war/military-industrial complex, and political spending recently spurred by LBJ’s “Great Society” programs.  This led to a sort of global “run on the bank” of US Dollars, prompting Nixon to end the aforementioned Breton Woods agreement.  This led to rapid inflation, and an emergency deal with Saudi Arabia to create the “petrodollar system,” whereby we fought wars for the House of Saud, in exchange for a global market for USD in the oil trade.  The USA has since used that petrodollar leverage, and military force, to get what we want out of other people’s countries.  Through the years, our sanctions, manipulations, and recently, the REPO Act, to literally steal other nations’ assets (specifically Russia’s, for now), have made nations lose so much faith in the worth of the US Dollar, that the BRICS nations, and their growing list of partners, are launching a new monetary exchange system, and a major effort to “de-dollarize” in October of this year…as many of us (not just me!) have warned for some time. 

Whew!  That’s a lot of stuff, I know.  But it’s important to understand how we’ve used our money as a weapon of global hegemony, a scheme that has now turned against us.  What this means to USA citizens is that, starting very soon, maybe even by early 2025, we’ll see inflation like we’ve never imagined, a massively decreased standard of living, perhaps even World War (if we’ve not started one for other reasons), on top of the economic depression already underway.

In other words, our incumbent parties, politicians, and the puppet masters who own and operate them, have brought us to the edge of actual ruin.  But we could fix it.  I’ve a proven plan to do so.  You ought to ask me for details.

Liberty or Bust!
