Well, of course it is. Its been known for a long time. Its the same gang of turds wrapped up in different packaging for marketing purposes. The both have the same goal: power.

The U.S. is poised for a new round of political evolution that isn't so much a transformation but a bid for hegemony.

Hegemony is right. I submit that if you incorporate new global 'ideals' into the system that would no doubt be well timed and in concert with the financial collapse card or any fear, or survival based tactic. This would make for a new, different, and stronger type of control. The type of hegemony you meant, I think, was the kind in which a negative global perception of the Mohammedans will be utilized as kind of dogma, for the purposes of further advancing the money making war machine and to ensure future revenue.

It just doesn’t sit right with me though. It doesn’t seem logical that all the generations of men deeply involved in the real absolutely ingenious planning would sacrifice their lives work on something, generation after generation, that had goals they would never come close seeing. It doesn’t ring true that humility would be a virtue expressed by those who are now obviously seeking ultimate control of the planet. Although I think from reading your work that you would probably suggest that only when the financial plan has come to a successful (for them) end, and no more can be taken that wasn’t already had. Then they might try some fun things like trying to be worshiped as a god, like some late Pharaoh, for the sheer fun of it. I alternatively think monetary control is only a way to the means. And that setting up a system for being worshipped has been the goal from day one. I know this is probably an unpopular stance so I shall try to refrain from getting started on that aspect in further posts..[/quo
You'll find plenty of people on this board who think like you do. Check out the religion forums, and you'll see what I mean. Idolitry isn't limited to theocracies. The rick and famous who promote themsleves to the point of market satuartion are buying just as much 'worship' as they can afford.
These people don't have to be true believers to recognize the value of good PR. For most, you will find that the trappings of "greatness" are just part of the cost they pay for doing business. Hubris comes when they start believing their own press. Remember that the trappings of office are most often used to make a point. As a weapon, religion is dangerous in the wrong hands, but it's not always used that way.

There is no rule that say you've got to be absolutely stone cold 'right' before you start typing. This is a discussion. We are talking about pure theory. Your guess is as good as mine. The best anyone can do is to make their point and see where the conversation goes from there.
