Yes. There is something “big” in the works on the USA side. I am getting multiple confirmations from my resources. No one is saying anything tangible. And when you are in the “black world” (American special access programs – being a “spook”), this absence of Intel speaks volumes. Something “big” is planned. And the components and pieces are moving into place.
Head’s up everyone.
This is coming from numerous sources.
Including my own brother.
Today I was pleasantly surprised by an email from my brother. I was surprised because I haven’t heard from him in about a year, and he never answered my emails, skype messages or anything like that. It was just “dead air”. After a while, you know, you just stop and think “well, he’s lying low key” and let him be.
He’s gone “X ray”.
His email was interesting. He said that the reason why he wasn’t writing or answering any of my “pings” was because he was “too busy”.
People(!) no one is more busier than I am, and look at all that I churn out.
Anyways, I just let that all roll off my shoulders and read the content of the email.
- He just came back from a visit with a mutual boyhood friend of ours. Who is now in San Diego and while he works in civilian government he is still directly tied to the US Navy and the submarine basing forces there.
- Right after he chatted, and came back home, he told me that he had to send me an email.
He just “had” to send me an email.
The content reads…
- It’s not “safe” in China.
- I should get the next flight to the USA where it is “safe”.
- Leave immediately, he said. Do not put it off. Leave THIS week.
Oh my!
Well, seeing that I have businesses, homes, not to mention a family with wife and children, and friends, and all of that, it seems rather strange for him to insist that I “bug out”. Leave my wife, and my children behind. Abandon my homes. My jobs. My lifestyle and my society for what ever the hell the United States is collapsing towards.
Especially since his ideas and impressions of what is safe and what isn’t doesn’t resemble anything that I experience. So maybe he is talking about world war III. Ah. If America cannot be number one, then no one can.
Anyways, there’s nothing in the USA for me. But it’s worse than that, the USA is collapsing head over heels.
Now, I don’t know what kind of “news” is popular in the United States today, I pretty must assume that it’s the same old repackaged lies of “China is collapsing”, “war is any moment now”, and all of that horse rot. But I am not falling for it, though it seems that everyone inside the United States is.
I don’t know what they all discussed on their visit, but I’ll be willing to wager that it is based on some absurd impressions from the “news”, and some observations from talking with other all of the same mindset. Like maybe this…
Anyways, I replied. I told him…
- China is doing good. All is great here.
- China and Russia are aligned militarily, and war against China will include Russia. And it will be nuclear.
- Were a war to happen, the USA would be completely devastated. It would lose, and lose very badly.
Now, I am sure that he doesn’t want to hear that, but that’s the way it is.
He did say that he is now locked inside of the USA because the State Department sill not issue him a new replacement passport because the IRS has alerted the government that he is a “Tax Protestor”.
Funny that a person that is stuck inside the USA gulag wants me to join him. Misery loves company, perhaps?
This article
We all know this; the USA is pushing, pushing, and pushing in all levels of provocation to force a war with China. The American people are primed for this war. The military is ready, and the Washington DC folk are as excited as young children on Christmas eve. War is gonna happen, and the USA has special “tricks” that will make it happen.
Hoyeru says: October 28, 2021 at 4:52 am GMT • 9.3 hours ago (This is a) strange column that somehow manages to miss the obvious. So i will add it: The US is so pissed and upset about china winning, they are willing to destroy the whole earth including themselves. If they can't control the world, nobody else will. It's pure spite.
We will start off with this great article I pulled from Ron’s operation…
Bumbling Menace Blinken Says Taiwan Should Join the UN
Like every individual in the Biden Administration, the bumbling menace Antony Blinken stumbles from weird event to ensuing weird event.
His latest strange and confounding behavior is asserting the claim that the false country of Taiwan should join the UN.
What the Biden Administration is doing is the equivalent of poking China with a stick.
RT:
After the US secretary of state claimed Taipei’s accession to the UN would be pragmatic, Beijing hit back, reiterating that Taiwan should not be granted permission to join the body because the island was part of China. Speaking on Wednesday, Ma Xiaoguang, spokesman for the Taiwan Affairs Office in Beijing told reporters the UN was an international governmental organization made up of sovereign states – and Taiwan wasn’t one. “Taiwan is a part of China,” Ma stated, adding, “Taiwan has no right to join the United Nations.” The spokesman’s comments came after US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said in a statement on Tuesday marking 50 years since the UN General Assembly voted to replace Taipei’s seat with Beijing’s that he regretted Taiwan’s absence. Blinken said the reason the island’s participation in the UN would be welcomed was not political but pragmatic. “As the international community faces an unprecedented number of complex and global issues, it is critical for all stakeholders to help address these problems. This includes the 24 million people who live in Taiwan.”
The statement is not political or pragmatic – it’s a provocation.
This is what the plan is, apparently: the Biden plan to “contain China” is a bullying harassment campaign.
Instead of just declaring war, they do things to attempt to publicly humiliate China.
The concept of “face”
It’s worth noting that decades ago, the West was trying to understand China and became fixated on the concept of “face.” They talked so much about it that we actually have the loan idiom from the Chinese language – “saving face.”
The Chinese – and general Asian – concept of “face” is similar to honor, but more complicated. It is also related to what we would call “prestige.”
It includes honor, just like our idea of honor: being a good member of the community and nation, who is respected and viewed as being morally righteous, and willing to sacrifice for others and the good of the community or nation.
But ” building face” also includes wearing certain clothing styles (now associated with brands), driving certain cars, living in certain areas, going on vacations, and other things we associate with prestige.
Another aspect, which I guess we would just call “power” or “authority,” is the ability of an individual to exercise his will in society, and to make things happen. (Just for example, if you ask someone to get you tickets to a sold out event and they deliver, that person would be “building face” as someone capable of making things happen.) All of this is combined to create a person’s “face,” which is his persona as seen by the world.
(For the record, the concept of “face” is also the basis of the social credit system, which is why virtually all Chinese people support the social credit system – it’s built on a foundational element of their society.)
Anyway, this is what the boomers who analyzed Chinese culture in the 1970s determined was the driving force behind Chinese psychology.
I think that is more or less true.
The United States is following a plan that is no longer viable, but doing so blindly out of ignorance.
As I explained in my very long piece about China a couple weeks ago, the current regime in America is clearly acting on plans laid by more competent men who are mostly dead.
So, when I see something like Blinken coming out and saying “hey, wouldn’t it be cool if Taiwan joined the UN?”, I am able to see that this is part of a very shoddy attempt to cause the Chinese authorities to “lose face.”
It’s very vulgar behavior, and it is intended to appear vulgar. What Blinken is attempting to do – more likely, what his advisors are attempting to do – is insult the Chinese authorities and make them look inept and incapable.
What isn’t clear is what exactly the goal of this is. It would make sense in the context of attempting to:
- Humiliate the Chinese leadership to the point that the regime collapses (this isn’t possible, and the US authorities really should understand that by now), or
- Try to bait the Chinese into doing something stupid to “save face” (Xi is not ever going to do anything he doesn’t mean to do, so this also doesn’t make sense)
Really, all I’m able to do personally is just observe.
America has no goals with China
I do not understand the goals of the US State Department and Department of Defense with regards to China, beyond the fact that they are fixated on regime change.
I’m not an expert on military strategy, and I’m highly skeptical of anyone who claims to understand how a war would unfold in this third decade of this third millennium after Christ.
However, given what I understand about the current social situation inside China, I am quite certain that there is no possibility of doing a Ukraine-style color revolution. It’s just not happening.
The Chinese people love Xi like they loved Mao, and just do a little bit of research on what the Chinese people tolerated from Mao.
I am completely unclear on how well the Washington establishment understands China, but having seen their actions, I would say not very well.
That’s why it looks to me as if Blinken’s team simply read some book talking about “face” and decided to attempt to humiliate them.
Mike Pompeo and the Deep State
We should also note that Mike Pompeo took a very similar approach, and that he is still planning State Department strategy at the Hudson Institute, where he is billed as an expert on foreign policy and China.
The State Department is one organization in the US government that is very obviously “deep state” in that it never changes from administration to administration. Whether officials are appointed by Republicans or Democrats, they move in and out of these same think tanks, which active government officials consult with so habitually that they are effectively extensions of the state.
Pompeo’s big play was to incite an Antifa revolution in Hong Kong.
I still do not understand what the purpose of that was, exactly. In theory, it would have been to cause Xi Jinping to lose face, to make it look like he was unable to control the city, and maybe to attempt to stir up discontent in the mainland.
Again, this shows a total lack of understanding of the situation.
The end result of the violence in Hong Kong was that Beijing closed the city down, and started banning all of the State Department’s schools for indoctrinating youth into revolutionary liberal ideology. If I had planned the strategy, I would not have wanted to have sacrificed the ability to influence Hong Kong so recklessly.
By fomenting those strange riots, the State Department gain literally nothing, and in fact they severely damaged their own image, and hardened the Chinese in all territories against the US.
Hilariously, the right-wing in Taiwan now cites the Hong Kong riots as a reason not to trust the West.
Chinese people are all very aware that these riots were incited by the West, and this is viewed as distasteful in the extreme, and also mystifying.
(In general, there is an overwhelming sense of confusion among the Chinese as to the intentions of the United States, but there is a certain amount of natural good will based on a positive perception of Hollywood and certain American companies, such as Apple. Instead of using that good will for definite ends, the State Department has pissed it away recklessly, and continues to do so.)
Clueless America
Obviously, the average American has literally no idea what is going on.
Even Americans who are semi-engaged with politics think that Taiwan is somehow a real country, that it is independent from China, and that China is planning to invade it.
In fact, Taiwan is not a country. It is a part of China.
Because it is an island, a separate revolutionary entity opposed to the CCP fled there during the 1940s. The Kuomintang had failed as China’s government and been overthrown by Mao’s forces, but the West protected them as they fled to the island. To this day, the “Republic of China” still claims to be the real government of China, despite the fact that it is nearly a century since they lost control of China in the 1930s.
At the end of World War II, just as the US quickly turned against their war ally the USSR, and established West Berlin, they also turned against their former ally the CCP, and established Taiwan. Modern Taiwan is as much of a relic of the post-war era as East Germany, it is simply that Taiwan still exists, because unlike the USSR, China was well-managed and did not collapse.
Illogical American leadership
The logical conclusion of any thinking person would be that the conflict between the East and West is over, and we should all just move on with our lives.
The US should negotiate a peaceful Chinese reunification, get a lot out of the deal in terms of reasonable Chinese concessions, and be done with it.
But that obvious thing cannot happen, because the regime that controls the United States – which, for a lack of a better term, can be referred to as “ZOG” (Zionist Occupation Government), is hellbent on creating a global government, and it is impossible to do that while China remains standing as an independent, traditionalist, nationalistic state.
So at this point, the purpose of Taiwan is to use it as a battering ram against the government of mainland China.
But there is no clear chink in the Chinese armor wherein to jam that battering ram. Thus, the State Department is instead opting for irate harassment and bullying.
Real Options
This is obviously not a long-term strategy, and given that the CIA has completely failed to create any significant fifth column inside of China, their only real option is to start a full on war with the Chinese and I guess just hope it works out.
If you understand all of this, it is really crazy to watch.
Apparently, they want to manipulate China into drawing first blood.
But then what happens?
What is step two?
The United States is going to have a nuclear war with China?
A nuclear war?
It’s unlikely that the US could win that war.
Frankly, the mere suggestion that people like Mark Milley and Lloyd Austin are going to successfully manage a war against China is both laughable and viscerally offensive.
It could be massively destructive, resulting in hundreds of millions of dead.
But a decisive victory by the US just doesn’t seem possible.
What’s more, there is no possibility of negotiation, given that the Chinese are so nationalistic, and have more or less zero interest in being part of the “international community” beyond selling people high quality products at reasonable prices.
What’s more, they are basically holding all the cards.
If you game out any potential outcome of this conflict, China wins.
Maybe the US could land a few nukes and wipe out some people, but if there’s one thing China has a lot of, it’s people. And unlike the US, the Chinese would be able to deal with being nuked.
The destruction of one or more major US cities, on the other hand, would completely obliterate the psyche of the American population.
You also have the fact that funding the war machine would be virtually impossible. The dollar as global reserve currency could not survive very much war, and it would come down to sheer raw productivity.
All previous wars have been won based on who had the bigger production output capacity, and the Chinese beat the US on that front, probably by an order of magnitude in real terms.
If the American leadership were smart…
If the people in Washington were smart, they would back off, and try to regroup. The problem is, they don’t have anything to regroup.
They’ve already gone all in on “diversity and inclusion,” putting what should be their most capable human capital on fentanyl or labeling them domestic terrorists.
If I was running this show, I would have skipped this moronic virus hoax and allowed Trump to remain in office on the condition that he start a war with the Chinese.
It still would have been a long shot, but it would have been within the realm of possibility. You could have stirred up the competent segments of American society with patriotic war energy, and used that to reestablish a production base in the United States.
But they didn’t do that.
They did something totally insane.
They stole the election for Joe Biden, who is probably the single least popular leader the country has ever had, with a plan to replace him with the much less popular Kamala Harris.
Then they effectively declared war on the native population of the country, labeling them domestic terrorists.
They are now attempting to force vaccinate the entire population, and they are willing to cripple the country’s productivity in order to force through this inexplicable gene therapy agenda.
Complete cluster fuck
If I had to guess, I would say that you have very little communication and possibly even very little awareness between whoever is running this plan for a war against China and whoever is running this domestic war against the domestic population.
The whole thing just looks totally chaotic and demented.
The bottom line is this: I do not think there is any possible way that the World Economic Forum’s “Agenda 2030” is going to come to fruition in 2030, or ever.
If the US were to back off of this push for conflict with Russia and China, they would simply end up totally crushed economically by China as they put their own population into extreme austerity using bizarre technological tyranny.
What is likely going to happen is that the US (and to various extents the rest of the West) is going to get increasingly brutal and weird, while China continues to advance economically, technologically and militarily.
You’re going to have a situation where the United States is just an utter mess, where no one really even understands what the goals or agendas are, and eventually the dollar is going to collapse, and that will be the end of the American Empire.
The end of the American Empire will be the beginning of the end of our tribulations.
For the American people, I do not think there is any solution to what is happening now, political or otherwise.
The only logical thing for an individual to do is try to stay out of the way while this lumbering beast staggers and eventually collapses.
After it collapses, we can reassess, and figure out how to build something new from the ashes.
The exciting part is that those of us who make it through this time of such trouble alive will probably live to see the other side. I’m as optimistic about the mid-to-late 2030s as I am pessimistic about the next decade.
So says one person
The truth is that no one really knows what lies in store in all of our futures. But we do know a couple of things. These are as obvious as the keyboard in front of my hands.
- The USA “leadership” are following a script mindlessly.
- The script is out of date.
- The USA has numerous “bubbles” that are about to pop.
- In a move that reeks of desperation, the USA is aggressively pushing and pushing and pushing for war.
- The only way for these trends to be mitigated is for the USA to get on with it, and collapse already.
Now, there are many, many aspects of issues all tied in in regards to this. The next article looks at the IC, AI and supercomputing realms…
China has already reached exascale computing
From HERE.
US is trying to kneecap China AI and Supercomputing by hitting it at the lower stacks (semiconductor fabs) but its in Chinese interest to reclaim its rogue provinence sooner than later…
Right now US is forcing Taiwan TSMC to cut ties with mainland Chinese firms yet prioritizing chip making for US origin firms like Intel, Apple, GM, Boeing etc…
The conflict between US and China is an economic conflict, not a political one.
The economic conflict arises exlusively from the the unnatural and unsustainable state and position of the US economy which operates as a global rent-seeker.
The US’ primary export good is the US dollar which is sold globally with the threat of force backing the sale. Officially the arrangement operates as follows: the US provides security – typically against a third party – and the “protected” countries in turn buy dollars. Unofficially the US uses direct threat – typically in an an indirect attack against the country’s economy and destabilization of its security – to facilitate USD sales.
This is in particular true of the so called “allies” – most importantly Germany and Japan in the 80s and 90s.
Though it might seem as a “security arrangement with a subscription fee payable in USD” in reality it is the exact opposite – and arguably always has been for any money producer throughout history.
The military establishment rarely seeks to expand its power as numerous examples of military dictatorships demonstrate. Military dictatorships tend to expand only as means of reinforcing their internal power structure. Consistently throughout history the primary driving force for war and imperialistic expansion are the banks.
Not the industry – as the industry has ways to compete for foreign markets through innovation or currency devaluation.
The banks however have only one product – money – and its value is entirely dependent on its unit of account and its purchasing power. What is also important it is the banks and fiat currencies that operate exactly on the principle of economic exploitation.
Marx was wrong about this being a general principle of “capitalist” mode of production and the 20th century provided evidence for that.
However when applied to the description of for profit production of money it necessarily works along the principles of exploitation since the nature of the good/product (money) makes it extremely inflexible in terms of deriving profits.
They can only be achieved through devaluation of purchasing power – which leads the users to abandon currency – or through increased demand. Money is literally a “unit of account”. There is no room for optimization. You either take it as it is or leave it as it is.
The only way to enhance money as a product is to package it with another basket of goods. Germany and the EU package the Euro with the access to highly valuable markets or export goods.
The US used to do so early in the history of the global dollar system (early after WW2) when the US had 40% of world’s industrial production, 60% o the world’s oil, a majority of the world’s food production and the world’s most potent military.
However this position was ruined by predatory behavior of American ruling class and currently the US offers very little in terms of voluntary transaction. Even the most dynamic industry – IT – operates on the basis of the theft of value (data) rather than the provision of it.
The problem arises from the mutually supporting structures of US global financial cartel and its military machine.
The financial cartel finances the military machine and the military machine enables the financial cartel.
One can’t exist without each other and the weakening of each will result in the necessary weakening of the other.
Here’s a short run-down of US vulnerability.
In nominal terms the US economy currently constitutes approximately 24,5% of world’s GDP. In comparison the Euro area constitutes approximately 15% of the world’s GDP. China in nominal terms, measured at the current artificially lowered exchange rate, has approximately 17,5% of world’s GDP.
In PPP terms the US economy is actually slightly smaller (due to the overvaluation of the USD), while Eurozone is slightly larger, and China is substantially larger.
Now compare it to the share of global currency reserves – the USD constitutes 59% of global reserves, the EUR constitutes 21% of reserves and the RMB constitutes 2% of reserves having been listed only since 2016.
This is crucial to understand American vulnerability.
The Euro
If Euro takes a hit on international markets it retains its natural ability to resist since its loss of value will improve the attractiveness of Eurozone exports which are the main source of demand for Euro. Even if Euro loses some of its demand it can be absorbed internally by the Eurozone.
In fact, this has been precisely the case since the Eurozone crisis which started a few years after 2008.
The vulnerability of the Euro is political (hence America’s attempts to destabilize the EU) and not economic.
Furthermore if the Eurozone was dissolved it would lead to the creation of a stronger currency – since Euro is the German Mark weighed down by various weak currencies like the Franc, Lira, Peso etc – that could take comparatively greater share of world reserves just like it was the case in the 80s.
The Chinese RMB
If Renminbi takes a hit on international markets it has almost no consequence at this point.
The US Dollar
If the US takes a hit on international markets then this hit will be translated through the magnitude of the global dollar reserves which are circa 140% greater than America’s share of the global economy at present moment.
The dollar reserves are helping to increase the nominal size of the US economy so any loss of demand will necessarily lead to smaller economy i.e. a death spiral since the US has largely deindustrialized and its industry is incapable of supporting its currency.
Therefore the dollar depends on the US military power and its ability to continue enabling forcible sales of USD.
The moment American “security” no longer is has value it results in loss of demand for USD.
How does American “security” loses value?
It has to be credibly challenged and made impotent.
This applies anywhere on the globe so if US is engaged in a protracted large conflict with China it means it can’t provide “security” anywhere else.
Remember that the UK won the WW2 and still lost the empire simply because they were not able to match supply of Sterling with the demand for it since they no longer provided global security for trade.
This means two things:
Any conflict over Taiwan is advantageous to China in the long term regardless of the outcome in the short term.
Any conflict over Taiwan is disadvantageous to America in the long term regardless of the outcome in the short term.
And this means that the conflict over Taiwan is not a real conflict in its own right, but a tool for something greater.
It is a tool for America’s attempt to physical separate its rent-generating properties from the globalized world which no longer allows them to retain their advantage in perpetuity.
America established a global economy under its hegemony because it was the global American empire with USD as its currency.
Now that the position of USD and the hegemon is vulnerable it wants to dissolve the empire and establish a new one, which will be then followed by inflationary escape from external debt (Weimar solution) and establishing of a “new dollar” backed by American military power.
In other words the US wants to return to the days of the cold war where “1st world is American sphere of influence” , “2nd world is China sphere of influence” and “3rd world” is the contested area.
Taiwan does not matter.
The US wants to change the rules of capital movement through state action so that the new rules continue to benefit its ruling class.
This is why
This is why they instigate tensions in Europe with Russia and push their European vassals to recognize Taiwan. It is all about decoupling the Eurozone from Russia and China and reinstating American military power as solution to “Russian threat” and “Chinese threat” as the foundation of its money production and rent-seeking.
And this explains also the psyop relating to Hongkong, Xinjiang and attacks at Chinese investments and commercial activities.
Not to mention Covid the covert CIA biovirus that carpet bombed the economies of the developing world.
It is not about attacking China since the US knows it is impossible.
It is about tearing the current global economy apart to protect its position.
American ruling class is attempting to secede from the international system to protect its position much in the same way as the ruling class of the American South seceded from the Union it created to protect its position.
Similarly the ruling class of United Kingdom seceded from the EU to protect its money-laundering and tax-evading industry.
An interesting perspective…
Both of these perspectives show reasons and observations. And they all seem to be pretty “spot on”.
Both argues that the USA is collapsing, and it is thrashing out of an ignorant leadership to pull back and regain or maintain some of it’s control. This is true whether it is military or economic, or social. I can understand that.
Now, let’s look at a third perspective.
Taiwan Demonstrates that the American Empire is a Paper Tiger
Taiwan has long been the rationale for meddling in China’s affairs but the latest interference poses great danger for “paper tiger” nation.
Mao Zedong often referred to U.S. imperialism as a paper tiger. This is truer today than it was in the mid-20th century when Mao frequently employed the phrase. No matter how bellicose the American empire becomes, its strength is more appearance than fact. Brutal violence and exploitation are thus signs of weakness, not legitimacy or credibility. The U.S.’s recent military maneuvers around the issue of Taiwan clearly signal a growth in the decay of the American Empire.
Taiwan has been a topic of conversation in the U.S. corporate media throughout the month of October. Headlines have circulated that claim China has escalated military tensions by flying military aircraft over Taiwan’s so-called Air Defense Identification Zone (ADIZ). The ADIZ was created by the United States after World War II and isn’t recognized by international law. In fact, Taiwan’s so-called ADIZ includes large portions of mainland China. This hasn’t stopped the U.S. media from beating the drums of war with China.
The U.S. Department of Defense under Joe Biden has affirmed its commitment to threatening war with China over Taiwan. Pentagon Press Secretary John Kirby has warned China that its so-called “pressure campaign” on Taiwan requires the United States to step up efforts to “protect” the island from “danger.” Just days after Kirby’s speech, U.S. and Canadian warships sailed through the Taiwan Strait in a show of joint military force not seen since the U.S. normalized relations with China in 1979. This blatant intensification of military aggression came just a week after reports surfaced that the U.S. had spent the last year secretly deploying special forces to Taiwan.
The American empire has a long history of using Taiwan to meddle in China’s affairs. After pouring heavy financial and military support into the Kuomintang’s (KMT) brutal war against the Communist-led revolution of 1949, the U.S. supported the KMT’s exile to Taiwan. The U.S. heavily militarized Taiwan and even threatened to use nuclear weapons in an attempt to undermine the Chinese revolution. More than two decades would pass before the U.S. cease the prevention of the People’s Republic of China to gain full recognition at the United Nations in place of the “Republic of China” government located in Taiwan. In 1972, the U.S. signed the Shanghai Communiqué —a document that stipulates U.S. recognition of Taiwan as part of China and clearly articulates that the U.S. will cease all attempts to military intervene in its affairs.
That Taiwan is part of China is not controversial outside of the parasitic lens of U.S. and Western imperialism. Taiwan has experienced centuries of colonial incursions. This includes a half-century of Japanese colonialism that ended only after Chinese resistance forces sacrificed more than fifteen million people to win historic victories against fascism in World War II. The return of Taiwan to China is thus an important victory for the anti-colonial movement. And it is this victory that the United States is currently working hard to reverse.
Former U.S. President Donald Trump and current President Joe Biden have provided staunch support to the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP), the separatist political party ruling in Taiwan. In 2019, Trump signed the TAIPEI Act into law which encourages the U.S. to facilitate deeper ties between international organizations and Taiwan’s separatist-led government. This blatant violation of the One-China policy has been followed up with billions worth in military arms deals to Taiwan. After Trump approved $1.8 billion in arms sales to Taiwan to end his administration, Biden signed off on $750 million more in military weapons transfers to Taiwan which included 40 M109A6 Medium Self-Propelled Howitzer Systems. These maneuvers bolster the Western-oriented government in Taiwan led by President Tsai Ing-wen, a devout separatist who has openly called Taiwan “vibrantly democratic and Western.”
U.S. interference in China’s relations with Taiwan has made a profound impact on U.S. public opinion. More than half of Americans now support U.S. military intervention in Taiwan . Of course, the poll conducted by the Chicago Council on Global Affairs added “if China invades” to the question for added anti-China effect. That the poll would promote the propaganda that China could invade its own province should come as no surprise. The Chicago Council on Global Affairs is funded in large part by the Pritzker Foundation . The Pritzker family’s enormous wealth derives not only the from the Hyatt hotel but also from its deep connections to war profiteering and the CIA.
Taiwan is the clearest expression of the U.S.’s agenda to reassert neocolonialism in the Asia Pacific as a means to counter China’s rise. However, attempts to bully China over Taiwan have no legitimate end goal. China will not bow down to the claims that Taiwan is an “independent country” since no such thing is acknowledged by international law. The United States must think long and hard about escalating militarily with China. Despite an enormous shift of U.S. military resources to the Indo-Pacific Command, war strategists and profiteers alike would face heavy casualties in a direct conflict with China’s high-tech military armed with a nuclear deterrence.
Unlike the first Cold War, the American Empire is in precipitous decline. Economic immiseration is all the American Empire has to offer the vast majority of humanity. U.S. military policy only facilitates death, destruction, and displacement. U.S. domestic politics are mired in stagnation and lack the capacity to address any fundamental problem facing working class and oppressed people. The paper tiger of American Empire is being ripped apart by its own contradictions. Crisis is the only stable feature left remaining of the American Empire’s so-called dominance.
China does not possess such problems. China’s government has shown consistent respect for international law with regard to Taiwan. China’s stable, prospering socialist economy has eliminated extreme poverty and contained COVID-19. These achievements alone have gained China’s socialist model immense prestige both with the Chinese people and the people of the Global South. Still, the American Empire remains dangerous precisely because its desperation requires the escalation of a New Cold War that threatens to bring about a confrontation between two nuclear powers.
Taiwan is but one piece on a chessboard designed by the United States to undermine China and thus the world from charting a course of history free of imperialist domination.
Anyone who calls themselves “the Left” would be foolish to follow the imperialist paper tiger into a trap of its own making with regard to Taiwan or any other feature of the U.S.’s New Cold War against China.
Yet this is exactly what has happened.
Most of the “left” has abdicated its responsibility to oppose U.S. imperialism and therefore shares responsibility with the right for the U.S.’s hostilities toward China.
U.S. interference in China’s affairs regarding Taiwan should thus be seen as an opportunity to reverse this dangerous course and place the demand for the U.S. to respect international law at the forefront of the movement.
Now, for my point…
I think all of these points are valid. But, I want to throw something else (a “monkey wrench”) into the mix.
Suppose that those who “lead” the United States, whether it is President Biden, political factions, the military or the oligarchy, are actually crazy psychopathic personalities. Perhaps they did not get to their positions through merit, but some other means, and they have a view of the world that we “normals” have a difficult time understanding.
And while we can point at the various strange actions of the United States leadership with our ideas, our historical or economic references, they do not address the frightening possibility that irrational people are in control of a very large and powerful nation with lots of nuclear bombs.
The entire globalist elite having devolved into a decadent and dumb state is the single explanation that explains everything that is going on right now, and does not require any kind of ridiculous leap in logic to mush everything together in a coherent way.
Now, I argue that the deafening silence on my black world contacts are screaming “Big Event” is on the way.
Heads down, alert up.
I hope to hell that I am wrong, but for all practical purposes, it appears that the USA is planning a first strike action against China and IT WILL be nuclear.
There is some degree of confidence in their ability to carry it though. Whether or not it is really well thought out or not is immaterial.
The fact is that the USA is going to do something very bad, very big, and it will change the global social economic calculus for centuries hence.
I believe that the USA is planning a first-strike nuclear sneak-attack against China.
From a MM contributor who is also a spook like myself…
I checked some old BBS's: Silent. I know my reasons why I have maintained radiosilence, but there is only one reason why other spooks have; something big is afoot. What if the idiots are planning a 1st strike move on China? Ran into this idiotic piece just now: https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/us-nuclear-weapons-electronic-sensors-accuracy/2021/10/28/79533ff0-34cc-11ec-9bc4-86107e7b0ab1_story.html
Let’s see what happens. Remember that seriously mentally deficient people are running the US government today. They do not “have all their marbles.”
Here’s a thing which is happening: people – probably most of you reading this – are confusing the total power of the current US government for competence. This is very natural, psychologically – it makes fundamental sense that people with absurd amounts of power would have to have competence. But, if we break down the fact that these people inherited this power structure, then you might look at it like the logic of assuming a guy driving a Lamborghini must be rich, before you find out it was stolen. It took me a long while to process it myself, and I definitely didn’t have a full understanding of it until Joe Biden took over as our overlord, but these people are not competent. Upon closer inspection, we realize they are actual morons. As a thought experiment: try to think of one single thing that the Democrats have done since assuming total domination of America that is indicative of competence. The only thing you will likely be able to think of is the fact that they’ve managed to keep this virus hoax rolling, but that is obviously virtually entirely managed by the media. And the success of the project is entirely dependent on the docility of the American people.
Prolog – Why I say that this might as well be the case.
For two decades I was married to a woman with a severe mental illness. It’s schizoaffective. And one of the things you learn, as a caregiver, is that they think and believe that they are making valid and good decisions, but in reality their decisions were terrible, based on all sorts of things, and off the wall.
I once asked her what the idiom “people who live in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones” meant. She, in all seriousness, told me that the idiom meant that glass breaks and has sharp edges.
...people who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones Those who themselves are open to criticism or vulnerable to attack should not attack others. This proverb dates from the time of Chaucer, who used a version of it in Troilus and Criseyde (ca. 1374). -People who live in glass houses - Idiom
I am convinced that the American leadership, no matter who it is, is wildly dysfunctional and dangerous. They do not know that they are ill, and they have surrounded themselves with similar people who are equally crazy.

There were two generalized endings for the American Empire, on a spectrum.
One ending, a nice, slow centuries long decline. As the USA was the world’s richest empires, it is like a whale’s corpse on the beach, and would take a long time to decay.
… or, at the end, a cataclysmic nuclear war with China and Russia. This would be due to hubris, we are invincible, we are the world’s policeman, and the world needs us. Etc, etc, you know this already.
The real “tell” will be when the billionaires and 1%ers start getting on planes to their bunkers in New Zealand, Fiji, Raven Rock, and so on. Watch for the banks and credit card companies to pull the plug too.
You have good genes, MM! Your brother was a tax protester. Usually the harder they censor and butt up against a man today, the closer he is to the truth.
Even very strong minds have weaknesses and blind spots – and that goes for me also.
You are safer in China, and they have my blessing to do what they need to do. The Beast is no friend of mine.
There are various interpretations.
I argue – that the Glubb Limit has been reached -250 years or 10 generations. 1776-2024. Right on time, the tenth generation again self-kevorkians. Regular as clockwork, and “someone or something” engineered it into Homo sapien, as a feature of the Prison Planet.
This is the “kill switch” built into man. Mouse Utopia. I do not know why I was chosen to be “the remenant.”

Suddenly I am reminded of PL’s warning on why the US left Afghanistan in a hurry. From what I gather there is a bomb. Also from my speculation it’s very small, about two kilos. So very portable.
Now, I’m guessing here, but what if it’s not nuclear? But the blast radius reaches Afghanistan from China from a 2kg bomb? Not nuclear, but possibly antimatter bomb. As PL said, it’s an alien artifact, and Obama/Biden had the means to trigger it. A 2 kg device with shielding would mean it’s just a few grams of antimatter but it would be enough for a planetary bomb.
Now what PL hinted and said makes a lot of sense. There was a visit by Biden to Ulan Bataar many years ago and 2kg is a very small gift. Nobody would know. The Americans are crazy enough to do this because it wouldn’t affect them on tho other side of the world.
This is my mad theory that might not get any traction. And this would be something that even you, MM couldn’t get any information about from your sources no matter how close or well placed. No earthbound source would be able to confirm this, MM. I hope you understand what I’m saying.
This, I wrote in a reply to a comment, which I see you refer to as well. I’ve edited it and am posting it here, as I tend to comment in an impulsive, emotional way, somehow sarcastic and not very respectable when commenting in the forum.
Something that can be offending for people which I consider as my friends, and I regret for that. I am Referring especially to my comments on the domain, among others.
And now for the edited, long comment for both articles.
Marvelous @bochen2021. I will keep the article.
With great respect, these are my comments:
“The conflict between US and China is an economic conflict, not a political one.”
– It is actually an ideological one, aka philosophical conflict. grossly put, it is basically a clash between civilizations.
“Remember that the UK won the WW2 and still lost the empire simply because they were not able to match supply of Sterling with the demand for it since they no longer provided global security for trade.”
– It was a designed process, sealed around 1944, when the base of the empire moved to the US. together with Europe’s and England’s gold reserves. But i agree, what gives you the power is the big stick you’re holding. the people at the top knows that.
“Any conflict over Taiwan is advantageous to China in the long term regardless of the outcome in the short term.”
– I do not agree.
More than that, what we see is far from any form of rationality. It is actually a form of madness.
It is not a mistake, pushing your greatest rivals to unite against you, is no mistake. It is systematic. Suicidal.
My only explanation is that the people in charge are basically a cult or cults.
They are divided between themselves but the end result is the same, a destruction of the world as we know it.
one cult representative was Mike Pompeo, and he was looking forward for the Rapture. They used a brutal force for that, a bio weapon and an armada to fight a weaken China at the same time.
On the other side in the cults zoo, we have the new democrats, which are pushing the climate agenda together with an obscure “vaccine” strategy.
Their ideology is different but the end result is the same, they are Malthusian, hence the Georgia guide stones.
Getting rid of China was only the beginning of an operation, a process we are caged into, and not the end of it.
A rapture agenda from the evangelical right, or a depopulation agenda from the left provide us with similar result. And this is what these cult’s drive us into.
Any simple mathematics will do the trick. to get a “stable” planet with under a billion habitants, it would take much more then annihilating the “inferior races” (as per the cult ideology).
listening to Putin’s last speech, you can read between the lines, as Xi made a warning for the puppets in Taiwan, a war is not in China’s interest, nor the worlds. if things get tough, the puppets head will be in danger, and if needed will be separated from the body, a la democratic empire style. Then would be served. a la carte.
Taiwan is part of china. China was patient for decades, some years more or less won’t change. No need for war.
Now to Putin’s speech; it is long, yet impressive and important, I would for the sake of the reader, discuss only a fraction.
“I have another important point to make. The pandemic, which, in theory, was supposed to rally the people in the fight against this massive common threat, has instead become a divisive rather than a unifying factor.”
A remark by Andrei from the Saker:
“Western capitalism is all about individualism. It is based on the notion that the sum of our greeds will result in the best human society possible. Of course, this is a lie, and while it does force people to work hard motivated either by greed (the rich) or survival (the poor), it cannot generate a society, a civilization, which can act together against a common threat: everybody pulls the blanket to himself, that is all there is to the so-called “western civilizational values”: the rest is just ideological prolefeed for the deceived masses.”
Putin:
“We look in amazement at the processes underway in the countries which have been traditionally looked at as the standard-bearers of progress. Of course, the social and cultural shocks that are taking place in the United States and Western Europe are none of our business; we are keeping out of this. Some people in the West believe that an aggressive elimination of entire pages from their own history, “reverse discrimination” against the majority in the interests of a minority, and the demand to give up the traditional notions of mother, father, family and even gender, they believe that all of these are the mileposts on the path towards social renewal.
…The advocates of so-called ‘social progress’ believe they are introducing humanity to some kind of a new and better consciousness. Godspeed, hoist the flags as we say, go right ahead. The only thing that I want to say now is that their prescriptions are not new at all. It may come as a surprise to some people, but Russia has been there already. After the 1917 revolution, the Bolsheviks, relying on the dogmas of Marx and Engels, also said that they would change existing ways and customs and not just political and economic ones, but the very notion of human morality and the foundations of a healthy society. The destruction of age-old values, religion and relations between people, up to and including the total rejection of family (we had that, too), encouragement to inform on loved ones – all this was proclaimed progress and, by the way, was widely supported around the world back then and was quite fashionable, same as today. By the way, the Bolsheviks were absolutely intolerant of opinions other than theirs.
…This, I believe, should call to mind some of what we are witnessing now. Looking at what is happening in a number of Western countries, we are amazed to see the domestic practices, which we, fortunately, have left, I hope, in the distant past. The fight for equality and against discrimination has turned into aggressive dogmatism bordering on absurdity, when the works of the great authors of the past – such as Shakespeare – are no longer taught at schools or universities, because their ideas are believed to be backward. The classics are declared backward and ignorant of the importance of gender or race. In Hollywood memos are distributed about proper storytelling and how many characters of what colour or gender should be in a movie. This is even worse than the agitprop department of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union.
..Countering acts of racism is a necessary and noble cause, but the new ‘cancel culture’ has turned it into ‘reverse discrimination’ that is, reverse racism. The obsessive emphasis on race is further dividing people, when the real fighters for civil rights dreamed precisely about erasing differences and refusing to divide people by skin colour. I specifically asked my colleagues to find the following quote from Martin Luther King: “I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the colour of their skin but by their character.” This is the true value. However, things are turning out differently there. By the way, the absolute majority of Russian people do not think that the colour of a person’s skin or their gender is an important matter. Each of us is a human being. This is what matters.
…In a number of Western countries, the debate over men’s and women’s rights has turned into a perfect phantasmagoria. Look, beware of going where the Bolsheviks once planned to go – not only communalising chickens, but also communalising women. One more step and you will be there.
…Zealots of these new approaches even go so far as to want to abolish these concepts altogether. Anyone who dares mention that men and women actually exist, which is a biological fact, risk being ostracised. “Parent number one” and “parent number two,” “’birthing parent” instead of “mother,” and “human milk” replacing “breastmilk” because it might upset the people who are unsure about their own gender. I repeat, this is nothing new; in the 1920s, the so-called Soviet Kulturtraegers also invented some newspeak believing they were creating a new consciousness and changing values that way. And, as I have already said, they made such a mess it still makes one shudder at times.”
And this leads to that.. a very important message ( my comment)
“Not to mention some truly monstrous things when children are taught from an early age that a boy can easily become a girl and vice versa. That is, the teachers actually impose on them a choice we all supposedly have. They do so while shutting the parents out of the process and forcing the child to make decisions that can upend their entire life. They do not even bother to consult with child psychologists – is a child at this age even capable of making a decision of this kind? Calling a spade a spade, this verges on a crime against humanity, and it is being done in the name and under the banner of progress.”
“Crimes against humanity..”. a harsh warning. – my comment.
“Arguably, political HISTORY has NO examples of a stable world order being established WITHOUT a big WAR and its outcomes as the basis, as was the case after World War II. So, we have a chance to create an extremely favourable precedent”
And for the punch line, which you my friend, MM, long time forecasted:
“This transformation is not a mechanical process and, in its own way, one might even say, is unparalleled. Arguably, political history has no examples of a stable world order being established without a big war and its outcomes as the basis, as was the case after World War II. So, we have a chance to create an extremely favorable precedent. The attempt to create it after the end of the Cold War on the basis of Western domination failed, as we see. The current state of international affairs is a product of that very failure, and we must learn from this.”
A last note, MM, I appreciate everything you write, I embraced it. And I trust your judgment. I feel as you feel.
I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again. There aren’t going to be any wars anywhere until the summer of the year 3016. You can quote me on that. Rev.20, the thousand years of peace started in the summer of 2016.
I know first hand.
I’m guessing you’re not from Detroit or Philly…
Hello,
I am near speechless, plus outraged by the leadership of the USA
that are a sickening mass of poison snakes sans any moral compass.
Obviously JB is not any “leader.” Who are the leaders then?
Bankers? World force corporations? Legacy super wealthy “bloodline
families” that seek depopulation of all “inferiors/useless eaters”?
Maybe all of the above plus military people and the paid media, and
now also, the bribed medical system. There are indeed American people that have no education or any quality of thought whatsoever.
Yet there are many that are appalled and disgusted with the upside
down and inside-out country we find ourselves a part of.
I do believe there is a deep abiding mental illnesses manifest. There
is a profound sadness experienced by the general population that has
a brain. There are also people that have fled the cities to live rural
with very little income opportunity/people that have downsized their
lifestyle to bare minimums. As a retired person that is very practical
as well. We are doing our best to be valuable and trusted members
of our community. The barbarians are at the gate however. The
cruelty of our masters, and their disdain for any Godliness, is
palpable and a horror to contemplate. It is a sad time for many in
the world, and particularly for Americans. TY for your work, and
the “heads up.” Rationalization and Denial are defense mechanisims
against unbearable anxiety. Many people may be stuck in those modes.
Best regards,
Suzanna
Thank you for that. Indeed, I think that there are many who also feel the way you do. But the forces of evil are truly formidable.
What is the time frame for something big to happen? Keep in mind all the Doomers have been predicting something big for a long time. A few big things were even supposed to happen last weekend but never occurred. I’ve noticed many of the well read Doomers are now pushing The Big One out to 2030. However just read a financial article today and they are saying Feb/March 2022 for the Big crash. Can we have something more substantial or is it a wait and see type of scenario?
Maybe nothing. Maybe something. Doom and gloomers have been forever predicting SHTF and nothing sudden ever occurs. I would advise living your life and turning off the “news”. “Adults” are in charge of the world now. The idiocy that the United States is, will have a staged decreased role in global affairs. As far as the “warnings” are concerned; well, it could be something or nothing. I’m not overly worried. As long as a person is well stocked, has great local resources and connections all will be good. Just be the Rufus and don’t worry too much.
In your article you say “the USA is planning a first strike action against China and IT WILL be nuclear.” In the comments you say “Adults are in charge of the world now” and “don’t worry too much.” Am I the only one confused?
Both are correct.
The USA is PLANNING…
But,
Real Adults are in charge of what will actually happen.
Does everything make sense now?
Talking abt clueless Americans, my ex-brother-in-law (white) once asked, is Singapore located in China? Two, he said, Malaysians… do you all still live in trees? This is the 21st
century, brother. Clueless, ignorant, and no interest in searching for the truth.
It is amazing, isn’t it. The big problem is these brainless idiots have inherited the most dangerous weapons on the planet and are using them like the bullies they are.
I am confused here, maybe you can clarify something regarding the “virus!” In your other articles and comments you considered it real and created by US at Fort Detrick and how the B variation was dropped on China while the A variation (milder) was released here in the US, and then in this article you called the whole thing a “Hoax!” Could you elaborate on that please.
I never called it a hoax, the articles that I referenced do.
The USA carpet bombed China with 8 bio-warfare agents, and numerous insects and pests to destroy the Chinese food supply chain and induce famine. It did not happen. Then in 2019, the first of three lethal attacks on the Chinese population occurred. The first is COVID, and you are correct. One strain inoculated the West, and the other attacked the East.
When I write an article, and I borrow other works in it, I always place the author and a link to where it came from. I don’t always agree with the authors, and I most certainly do not agree that the virus is a hoax.
I am so sorry that you are confused. I do hope that I cleared up this matter. Please accept my apologies for the misunderstanding. It is, after all, my fault.
Thank you for the clarification.
“The whole thing just looks totally chaotic and demented.
The bottom line is this: I do not think there is any possible way that the World Economic Forum’s “Agenda 2030” is going to come to fruition in 2030, or ever.”
Yep, totally demented. Watch Chris Martinson expound on some of the details about why the psychopathic WEFers will fail, and fail very, very badly. And take a lot of the west down with it…

Hello everyone.
The USA is on a suicidal mission, governed by vandals that are trying to liquidate what remains, and push us into the hyped “Great Reset” of the Davosians/WEFers. Since our rulers still consider perception as an important tool, they keep pushing others they hate to destroy us. Luckily the Chinese and Russians know the game and do not react impulsively but instead act tactically. We have never seen a chess game played so brilliantly in history.
Sadly, we can be as analytic and logical as we can, push our capabilities of understanding to our limits, and still get it wrong. It seems we are left to study their actions and are always steps behind their actions. The Chinese and Russians have more powerful and comprehensive intelligence resources than us. They should be able to figure out the scenarios and be ready to react and hit back.
Capitalism is not the cause of our self-destruction. The greed, stupidity, vanity, drug addictions, pedophilia, and God knows what else of our rulers (the powerful influence from the Old Empire), and an oblivious population are taking us (the west) to a societal collapse.
When your brother states you should leave China, bla bla bla, that means that you are safe. Whatever he says, lets invert it. That leaves us in the west in a very precarious situation.
Maybe I am not deserving of being considered worthy by those who you call “the adults in the room”. To them I want to say Thank You if myself and my loved ones are given the opportunity to continue alive and eventually thrive. I do not want to lose my loved ones. What is the point of being without them?
See you everyone.
