Washington DC is an imperial city. It masks as Athenian democracy housed within Roman republicanism and underpinned by Judeo-Christian values. But behind the mask is a cold monster: the “interagency.” And the monster is committed to global domination.
The imperial agenda has met with great resistance, most stunningly in Ukraine, where Russia has been degrading Washington’s proxy forces with extreme lethality. But the most poetic resistance has come from a group of Zaidi Shi’ites in Yemen, the Houthis. Formally known as “Ansarullah (a.k.a. Ansar Allah),” the Houthis control Yemen’s central state.
DC hates them so much it continues to have its captive media refer to them as “rebels” and “militants” more than a decade after they seized the capital city Sana in downright Shakespearean style. The Houthis are the unintended consequence of previous imperial intervention in Yemen. They have been terrorizing Red Sea shipping and attacking Israel in solidarity with the Palestinians since October 2023. And they have been withstanding (and responding to) direct U.S. counterstrikes. All this could escalate to front page New York Times blowback. There is the very real possibility that the Houthis could do massive damage to (maybe even sink) a U.S. Navy warship.
How did we get here?
DC maintains different zones of domination (domi-nation). There are the fifty states, the zone of “domestic imperialism.” As Libertarian Institute Managing Editor Keith Knight said, “The domestic population is the group that the government is at war with but has surrendered.”
There are the Federal Indian Reservations throughout the mainland and Alaska. These are “permanent tribal homelands…where the federal government holds title to the land in trust on behalf of the tribe.” So, basically museums of Manifest Destiny or imperial trophies.
