“The United States today is like a cruise ship on the Niagara River upstream of the most spectacular falls in North America," Johnson warned.

But no one yet seems to have realized that it is almost too late to head for shore. Like the Chinese, Ottoman, Hapsburg, imperial German, Nazi, imperial Japanese, British, French, Dutch, Portuguese, and Soviet empires in the last century, we are approaching the edge of a huge waterfall and are about to plunge over it.” - Chalmers Johnson
