Hillary Clinton, the next US President, will be the most firmly established world ruler since Augustus, the first Roman Emperor. She is now busily making campaign speeches touching upon domestic issues like the need for money for schools, infrastructures, lower higher education costs, internal business investments, support for immigrants etc.. Even while emphasizing domestic issues to earn the presidency, she does at times explain the need to keep the American financial and economic systems strong and harmonious and warn that upsetting them would be bad for the world economy. She knows better than anyone after years in Washington and as Secretary of State for four years that the real basis for world prosperity is a continual sacrifice of internal domestic needs for average Americans and a total reliance on corporations, especially very rich corporations, to stabilize and produce global prosperity. Corporations govern the world and control its future. Politicians in the American Congress are bought and paid for with money from corporations to pass the laws they need. Augustus kept the Roman legions spread out in his empire for the benefit of worldwide harmony and peace. The modern legions in Clinton’s purview fighting to keep the world organized peacefully for private profit are global corporations. President Clinton will solidify her own power by supporting them. World money will dictate the main direction of her presidency. She will be ready to hear propositions from anyone worldwide with enough power to open roads globally to corporations. Domestic issues will slip as usual in Washington into the background. We can believe that she is sincerely interested in them. It is simply that they count for nothing in corporate headquarters. That is where the only power exists that can realistically make her political presence strong and meaningful.
But Emperor Augustus did have some room to govern independently of his legions. He supported the political and economic stability of thousands of flourishing city-states worldwide. Many of them built temples to him and worshiped him as a God. Will Clinton try her luck to do something good for the world even though forced to keep corporate needs as her priority? Whatever might make her worshipful worldwide like the Emperor Augustus will have to be approved by corporations and must make them more secure. How about using Article lV Section 3 of the Constitution that gives Congress the right to admit new states? New states in the American union located worldwide would secure and stimulate more corporate investment globally and would also stimulate the domestic American economy by greatly expanding its size. Clinton could give average Americans new economic perspectives and states worldwide new prosperity and freedom by allowing them to benefit also from the global corporate power that benefits her, the world’s new Emperor, and that she can not do without.
