America Falls Because of Debt
Expert on Western civilization Dr. Eugen Weber outlined the steps that caused the fall of the Roman Empire in A.D. 476, and the demise of others from around B. C. 300 to A. D. 1500.

"… industrial production …" plummeted. Therefore, because sufficient goods were not being made to sell, enough money was not circulating; hence, those persons who became unemployed were supported by "… public assistance … "

Political leaders overtaxed the wealthy in order to keep governments in operation. However, eventually, the rich had no more money that their rulers could take. Hence, "… cost of army and administration … (italics supplied)" resulted in the empires' fall.

Steve Cobb, Ph.D., explained that economists defined free trade as " … the most efficient producer making products, putting their resources into those products, and then trading for things that they don't produce as efficiently … ". Additionally, per Professor Michael Bernstein of the University of California, free trade mandates no restrictions for corporations to set up their businesses in nations because, according to Thomas Zeiler, Ph.D., the result for citizens would be " … greater prosperity, greater development."

Free trade emerged in the 1800s between America and Canada and culminated in the 1980s under then-President Bill Clinton's North America Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), which legislated seamless trading between Canada, America, and Mexico.

However, NAFTA caused America not to have sufficient manufactured goods to sell. Therefore, as past empires, that was the same as "… industrial production …" plummeted.

Since items were not being produced for sale because NAFTA caused them to be manufactured elsewhere, according to the television program Transforming America: U. S. History Since 1877: "In the late 20th and early 21st centuries, millions of U. S. jobs were lost." John Cavanagh, Director of the Institute of Policy Studies, verified that many Americans became unemployed. Thus, per Columbia University's Alan Brinkley, Ph.D., there was decline in the high living standards that Americans once enjoyed. Consequently, Professor Bernstein made known, the result was " … hardship … " for Americans. Therefore, they went on public assistance.

However, that mimicked past empires' populations who were supported by "… public assistance … " because they became unemployed from low industrial production.

George W. Bush's law decreased taxes for wealthy Americans because, he informed the public, the extra funds for the rich fostered job growth. However, unemployment and underemployment continue to be high. Nevertheless, some members of Congress refuse to reinstate the original tax bracket of the rich. Therefore, America can not get more money from them.

However, before past empires became defunct, leaders could not tax the rich.

Loss of income from reduced production and inability to tax the wealthy made it impossible to cover "… cost of army and administration … " for the past empires, per Dr. Weber. Therefore, they became extinct.

America lost revenues from manufacturing, and she lacks the power to tax the rich. Therefore, because America secures loans in order to pay for wars in Afghanistan and Iraq and for governance, America does not have enough money to maintain herself. Hence, by deducing from Dr. Weber's lesson, America has fallen.

Therefore, because through her New Evangelization the Roman Papacy is to take America's position as superpower;

and because the Roman Papacy and Freemasons indebted America;

and because debt vanquished America, the Roman Papacy and Freemasons overthrew America.
