Journalist Abby Martin starts a new series on The Real News and Telesur, the
Empire Files. In this opening episode she examines US Empire around the
world, tracing its history and describes its empire of military bases.

It is good to see the word "Empire" used in the media. The corporate media
avoids this term. Even though the United States is the largest empire in
world history, it is a secret to most Americans because it is never
discussed by politicians or the press.

If the US Empire were discussed and people understood it there would be
growing opposition. People would realize the US economy is an 'empire
economy' and this creates many problems. Among those problems are immense
military spending rather than spending on the needs of people and planet;
creating wealth for the oligarchs and political leaders in countries that
are part of the US Empire; and creating wealth for transnational
corporations even if it means going to war to do so.

Understanding US Empire would also make it easier to understand US military
and economic interventions around the world. It would explain the US
supported coup in Ukraine, working with oligarchs to try and create a coup
in Venezuela, the movement of weapons with NATO surrounding Russia, the
Asian Pivot surrounding China, the corporate rigged trade agreements like
the TPP. so much would become much better understood, often just by looking
at a map. We look forward to Abby exploring these issues, each is filled
with falsehood in the US media, so lots of clarity it needed.
