Max Eternity - It has often been said that the revolution will not be televised, and in a move that is perhaps not so surprising, yet none the less shocking, the world's major oil producing nations have decided to dump the US dollar.  This comes just weeks after President Obama and The City of Chicago were rebuked in their attempts to secure the 2016 Olympics for the United States.  Yet, while the rest of the world continues to move on with its various independent adgendas, the US seems intent on staying in denial of its tremendous loss of power and influence on the world stage.  Still, with a bankrupt economy, no healthcare for its citizens, an increase in police state activities and other signs of domestic erosion, it is quite clear that the US imperialist empire has certainly declined as of late.
