A New Phoenix Rises From The Ashes

"According to legend, each Phoenix lived for 500 years, and only one Phoenix lived at a time. Just before its time was up, the Phoenix built a nest and set itself on fire. Then, a new Phoenix would rise from the ashes."

As we can see, the Phoenicians move their empire every 500 years. It's a bit like the endless tea party in Alice in Wonderland. Furthermore, the Phoenicians take steps to cripple their old nest after they move to the new. This is particularly relevant to us because America (and Britain) is on the losing side this time around.

Starting in the year 2000, the 500 year-old US/British Empire began to be put to the torch. The Phoenicians have flown across the Pacific Ocean, carrying their fortunes with them. The new nest of the Phoenix is in China. What they leave behind is ashes. The best way to predict the future is by examining the past, specifically Venice.

"The 16th Century was one of the most difficult periods in the one-thousand-year-old history of the Venetian Republic: the war against the League of Cambrai (1507-08) , the conquest of Cyprus by the Turks (1570-73) and the Plague (1575-76)."

"A slow political and economic decline had begun by around 1500, and by the 18th century the city of Venice largely depended on the tourist trade, as it still does, and the Stato da Màr was largely lost."
