Igor’s prediction merely projection?
Igor (or is it eye-ghore?) Panarin made the news a few months back with his interesting prediction concerning the fate of America.
Finally there is some news of dissent from his fellow scholars which, it being Russia, is always a good thing to hear about.
Igor thinks that the USA will break apart into 4 separate areas, each controlled by near and far interests such as Russia, China, Canada/EU, and Latin America. All this due to financial and ideological stresses. The analysis is actually quite interesting whether or not you agree with his conclusion. In any event, that other Russian scholars discount is conclusion as being more applicable to Russia itself is interesting. One then has to wonder if Igor is doing a little ‘projection’ of Russia onto the USA.
Now, I personally think Obama’s ideology and that of the majority in Congress are diametrically opposed to the Constitution – a document they all, ironically, are sworn to support and defend. I am sure that there is some rationale they make in their own conscious minds to defend themselves from the stunning disparity of their promise and actual execution of offices. But the evidence is quite clear that they either hold the Constitution in contempt or are ignorant of its contents and history. If Rahm Emanuel thinks that you “never want a serious crisis to go to waste”. Then one can easily understand The Legislature and Executive branch prodding the economy into further crisis and use it, again, to further their own private grabs at power; sacrificing this Nation’s core values: Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness.
The Constitution was meant to limit Government. Lets get back to our Founding Documents (which Obama mentioned at his inaugeration) or in some fashion Igor’s prediction may come true with a Second Civil War by “We the People”.
