The USA and UK think we can still run an imperialist foreign policy that steamrollers the world while at the same time, this axis is running on red ink supplied by the Chinese. Japan no longer is buying our bonds, it is now ONLY China. The Chinese are aggressively using their economic power to surpass the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund. On top of that, they and Russia are happily selling arms to anyone we want to weaken so we can invade with impunity. Europe is negotiating with Russia by the stupid method of barking as loud as possible.
Egypt welcomes more Chinese investment and is expecting China to be Egypt's main investor, Egyptian Minister of Investment Mahmoud Mohieddin said on Monday evening.During an interview with Xinhua and other Chinese media, Mohieddin said that Chinese investors are welcome in Egypt where its market welcomes competition and rejects monopoly.
"With growing interest, Egypt sees the rise of Chinese investment, which grows in various sectors, such as communication, technology, construction, manufacturing, agriculture, service as well as tourism, and currently financial service is the only sector still awaiting the Chinese investment," said Mohieddin.
The Chinese don't want to colonize the Middle East. They aren't herding millions of Muslims into ghettos and then bombing and starving them to death there. The Chinese want to create trading partners who have a growing wealth base. And they are also playing the World Game of Go wherein they wish to take over key areas and control world events but instead of doing it by invading other countries, paying Quislings to suppress the will of the people of these countries or paying for the military so they are beholden to the US/UK axis rather than being supported by their own people. And all this, so we can steal whatever we want on our own terms.
This old-fashioned European-style colonialism is very hated by billions of people and when we apply this style of rule, it causes riots, insurrections and wars. To deal with the world in this ham-fisted, brutal fashion means our own country must misspend our precious dollars to run the world's most expensive military system and this systems is, like all global military systems, bankrupting us rapidly.
China's trade vessels now rule the Seven Seas. The US has the world's biggest navy and they go all over the earth, wasting taxpayer's dollars, costing us an arm and a leg and what American trade ships are they protecting? Do I see the number "0" here? We have trade ships? No? ARGHHH!!!
The Chinese flotilla needs to pass through canals. They bought the Panama Canal and now they are essentially buying up the Suez Canal! And will they succed? Of course.
They are bending their wills towards this matter. We might sail our sitting ducks all over the earth but if they control all the choke points we are doomed as a naval power. And this takes me back to what a naval power is doing. Was the British Empire's giant navy sailing around the world protecting GERMAN shipping?
Yup. They were! And because the Germans before WWI were successfully out-shipping the Brits when it came to manufactured goods, this destabilized the balance of power and Britain sought hard to restrict German shipping to India and China and Africa.
Today, the US and Europe are scrambling to try to stop China from doing business with Africa and other nations we used to treat as servants, slaves or 'basket cases.' Just two years ago, every report on Africa I read talked sneeringly of how they were all basket cases that would never join the first world nations. This is why I report with full approval and honest surprise, the Chinese initiatives in Africa. They are taking the entire continent away from the West using their banking abilities and relying on their own history of never exploiting Africa in the past!
Africa's itch to borrow to hasten development is producing a flurry of ideas to limit the risk that the world's poorest continent could once more drown in a sea of unserviceable debt.After debt write-offs by international financial institutions and Western governments of nearly $50 billion, some African states have the headroom to start borrowing anew. Others do not.
Charting a way for both groups to tap the funds they need without repeating the mistake of over-borrowing was a key theme of this week's African Development Bank (AfDB) annual meeting in Shanghai.
Just look at how our media carries this same story! It is all about how Africa is irresponsible compared to...hahaha. Why, they had to be rescued with a $50 billion bail-out! $50 billion=10% of USA government overspending every year!!!! MY GOD. Right now, we are paying interest on our loans but we are doing this by running up even more loans! So our debt is growing, not shrinking. If Africa was $50 billion in the hole, we are $8.9 TRILLION in the hole! This hole is the biggest fiscal black hole in earth's entire history.
And the articles in the US hide this hideous fact. And this is being exploited by China because you can bet, now that China is our MAIN and increasingly, ONLY banker, this means they have a good laugh over drinks with the African representatives.
And as usual, this is a huge diplomatic loss for us. We can pretend it isn't happening but that doesn't stop everyone from mocking us and looking funny at us as they plot to join forces in upending our empire.
World powers are making a mistake by using the UN Security Council to pressure Iran over its nuclear programme and negotiations are the only way out of the standoff, an influential Iranian cleric said on Friday.The UN Security Council has imposed two rounds of sanctions on Iran since December over Tehran’s failure to heed a UN demand to halt uranium enrichment.
US officials have warned of a third if Tehran continues to ignore the demand.
“What did you gain by the forceful imposition (of your will)on others using the Security Council and (imposing) sanctions, especially in an oil-rich region that can truly lead the world to problems?,” Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani said in Friday prayers. “You are making a mistake,” he said.
He did not make clear what kind of problems the world could face but some Iranian officials have threatened to curb the oil exports of OPEC’s No. 2 producer if pushed, a move that would send world crude prices sharply higher.
In the past when the US/UK axis of evil wanted to punish Muslim leaders, they would get the Saudi Royals, their barking fat dogs, to up the production of oil. The game plan was, the Saudis would be all-powerful and the Shias and Baathists would have to kow-tow to the fat tub of lard lounging on his American throne. This is what fuelled bin Laden's revolution and now the Saudi royal puppy is scared to death because bin Laden is stealthily creeping closer and closer and will eventually win.
So now our threats as we parade more and more sitting duck ships off of Persia's shores, are increasingly stupid since Saudi Arabia can no longer hyper-pump oil to make up for any deficits we cause with our foreign military adventures. And worse, the more we restrict fuel, the richer everyone becomes and there is little desire to coddle American gas guzzlers anyway. The sight of Americans driving big, fat things, wailing as they go bankrupt, is highly amusing to most of the Muslim world.
The US/UK axis of invasions which have attacked the Middle East incessantly since the beginning of time, depend on disarming everyone so we can beat them up. And this is now reaching an end due to the totally illegal invasion of Iraq based on false charges that Iraq was attempting to arm themselves as if they were the US/UK axis of evil.
The House took steps Thursday to make it harder for Iran to acquire parts for its aging F-14 fighter jets, voting to ban the Pentagon from selling leftover spares from its retired Tomcat fleet to anyone but museums.Originally a separate measure called the "Stop Arming Iran Act," the ban was added to a $646 billion bill to fund the military in the budget year that starts Oct. 1. The House approved the legislation Thursday. A Senate vote is still needed.
Iran is no longer even slightly troubled by this news. So, they can't use American weapons? Well, there is a wonderful arms market out there, one run by someone who has no desire to butcher Palestinians and then herd them into ghettos where they will be starved to death. Since China loves money and wants to make money, they are now biting into our biggest export item: value-added weapons systems and especially, fighter jets and other aircraft.
From day one, my news analysis service has talked about the Chinese plans which go deep into the past, to dominate the world sales of military and civilian jets, and our blustering foreign policy which uses boycotts all over the place, plays directly into the hands of the Chinese government who comes rushing in to sell these same things to our potential invasion/coup targets like Venezuela and Iran.
From the Washington Post warmongers:
More than that of any other world leader, Blair's foreign policy approach is a rigorous, logical argument. Like advancements in communications and the global economy, political challenges, Blair contends, have "immediate impact, an ability to cross frontiers." Irresponsible and failing states become bases of operation for terrorist, crime and drug syndicates. This chaos is tamed, in his view, by promoting economic development, treating killer diseases, fighting global warming and achieving peace in the Middle East -- an agenda of exhausting idealism. "Justice," he says, "is the thing that is most powerful in its appeal to people."But Blair's liberalism not only purrs, it bites. When distant chaos grows too intense and threatening, Blair has advocated military interventions from Kosovo to Sierra Leone to Afghanistan to Iraq.
His muscular internationalism might best be described as half globalization theory and half Gladstone -- the Victorian-era, Liberal prime minister who symbolizes high-minded, humanitarian intervention. Blair speaks a neon language of right and wrong and sees Britain as a global force for good. And he has little patience for a trendy moral equivalence:
"The reason why the stance of a lot of public opinion is quite defeatist in my view is because we are still saying, 'Well, they've got a point, we understand their grievance, maybe it is our fault.' . . . We get rid of two of the most brutal and terrible dictatorships, who've killed hundreds of thousands of their people, we then say you can have a United Nations-backed process of democracy -- and you say that provoked them to terrorism. I mean, explain that one for me."
The Victorian invaders always looked for some excuse to invade. China wanted money for trade? Invade them, kill them, force them to allow addictive drugs that destroy the people's will and of course, loot the palaces and steal all the artwork and the little Pekinese puppies. Woof.
Africa: high-minded Brits invaded and enslaved many millions of Africans. Then they outlawed slavery and shifted to colonizing Africa and stealing all the land, resources and brutallizing the people with racist rules and laws. How high-minded of them.
The UK has a long history of invading the Middle East starting with King Richard I. Sword in hand, the UK has 'traded' with people the same way the Vikings traded: either you accepted whatever deals they offered or they killed you. And this stupid imperialism has provoked many wars and to this day, if Britain is weak, former colonies are friendly but if Britain uses the US forces to re-enter former colonies and attack them and steal from them, again, they fight ferociously to stop these invasions. This is why Iraq is destroying the US/UK axis of evil.
It is too expensive. Heh. Tony Blair snuck into Iraq yesterday. He couldn't announce he was coming, he did what all the US/UK axis fascists do: sneak, sneak, sneak. Of course, the insurrectionists shot a bunch of missiles at the Green Zone just before he came creeping in on his slithery belly. Note how China's diplomats and leaders travel! Openly and with full honors and red carpets and people throwing flowers.
This matters! Our inability to visit much of the world is in stark contrast with the world's new Bankers, the Chinese! And again: money matters! We can't go around blustering and yelling if we turn around and beg China for money. This makes us look like fools.
Blair's inability to understand that the US/UK axis invading a nation made helpless by the UN is the cause of our woes today is exactly why we will not only lose that war but lose the entire empire we built so bloodily. If Blair and Bush had even the slightest ability to understand what diplomacy is, we would never have invaded any Middle Eastern country and we would be working day and night to fix the real problems--our trade and budget deficits.
Money is power and we are losing that swiftly.
Two days of meetings between Putin and a European Union delegation led by German Chancellor Angela Merkel probably will not yield a single agreement on deep disputes over energy, trade and security, attendees said."I am not expecting, honestly, anything spectacular,"
*snip*
Many EU nations are concerned about rising energy dependence on Russia, which supplies a quarter of Europe's oil and more than two-fifths of its gas. Those worries increased after Moscow briefly halted gas supplies to Ukraine and Belarus in 2006 and 2007, resulting in supply shortfalls to EU countries.
Bark! Bark, bark! Grrr. The European dogs doth voice their fury. Why bother with summits if they aren't going to even climb the foothills? Talk about a stupid waste of time. Europe now has lots and lots of money due to the Japanese pouring in all of their trade surplus with the US which is over $70 billion a year, into the banks of Europe because they can't keep it at home, they would have to then admit they have no depression but are flush with loot.
Well, this new-found and I would say, totally FAKE wealth caused by currency games is making Europe's dogs happy puppies so they think they can bark at Russia. But Russia has that energy noose around their necks and since the dogs in the US/UK axis of evil are barking at the energy producers in the Middle East, this is driving up world energy prices which makes Russia stronger. Who are the Europeans going to get their energy from?
HAHAHA. Iran! Yes, what a circle jerk this is.
Mr Blair's premiership has been tainted by accusations he took the country into an illegal war. A recent poll by the Observer newspaper found 58% of respondents thought the Iraqi invasion was a mistake."We took a decision that we thought was very difficult. I thought then, and I think now, it was the right decision," Mr Blair said in Washington DC this week.
Violence has recently flared in the southern city of Basra, which is under the control of British troops. Twelve British soldiers were killed in Iraq in April.
In an interview published on Saturday, former US President Jimmy Carter criticised Mr Blair for his "blind" support of the war in Iraq.
And in the US/UK axis of evil, the actual citizens, the most helpless people on earth, are against these invasions, against the wars, aghast at the stupidity of all this and worried about all the red ink. And the leaders, being clones, nay, creators of Saddam, ignore all this and plow ahead. The military budgets are increasing, the red ink is flowing even harder and the Chinese might laugh themselves to death but I doubt this because they happen to remember the Opium wars!
