49i. 20th Century (Part 9) | The Cold War and the Petrodollar Economy

from The Wisdom Tradition | a philosophy podcast · host Alexander Sachon

In this episode, we continue our series on the secret history of the 20th century by examining events taking place in the decades that followed the conclusion of WWII. The significance of this period comes not from the Cold War but from the onset of the "American Century" that was taking place behind it.The "American Century was the name that the elite think tank The Council on Foreign Relations gave to  their plans for a global economic empire controlled by the American nation security state.  These plans were formulated during the war years, announced in 1945 at the war's end, and swiftly implemented in the years and decades immediately following its conclusion: these being the same years when the Cold War was also at its peak. As it turns out, the Cold War was as a mask for America's imperial campaign: it was an engineered "forever war" designed to  justify the buildout of a permanent military-industrial complex. Concealed deeply within this compartmentalized behemoth, where secrecy and black projects abound, resides a secret think tank and R&D unit that is developing world-changing technologies of the nature few can imagine. The real purpose of the Cold War was to mask the creation of this secret scientific institution.This is the thesis I present in this episode.
