China Warns US To Not Arm Taiwan

Elaine Meinel Supkis

Just after we passed through a terrible time when the money flow from Japan and China to our own banks and hedge funds collapsed, the US is back at yanking China's tail over Taiwan. The Chinese promised we would have a rough ride if we continue to ignore their wishes. Well, a top Pentagon official threw more oil on that fire yesterday. I expect this Fall to be a rather wild time for everyone.

From the LA Times:

The Navy admiral poised to become the U.S. military's top officer reiterated Tuesday that the U.S. would not support a push for independence by Taiwan, but added that Washington would continue to urge the government in Taipei to acquire defensive weapons to hedge against an attack by Beijing.

At the end of a five-day trip to China, Adm. Michael G. Mullen said the issue of Taiwan came up in nearly every meeting he had with Chinese officials, including a question-and-answer session with lower-level officers. Beijing's displeasure with U.S. arms sales was "pointed out to me" repeatedly, he said.

"My president has made it pretty clear that we're not supportive of Taiwan's independence, and any unilateral move in that direction on the part of Taiwan won't be supported by the United States," Mullen said at a news conference here. "At the same time . . . we encourage Taiwan to invest in defensive capabilities. We view that as having a deterrent effect."

The issue of Taiwanese independence, always at the top of the agenda between Beijing and Washington, has become increasingly sensitive here as Taiwan heads toward legislative elections this year and a presidential election early next year, just before Beijing plays host to the Olympic Games.

Taiwan isn't demanding more weapons of mass destruction, the US is doing this. There are two reasons: we want to hem in China and Taiwan is a knife at China's belly and number two, the main thing we export are weapons. We are militarizing the world rapidly. And everyone around us are arming themselves for WWIII. I see no other reason. The irrationality and recklessness of the US is now obvious to everyone. Our behavior during this summer as we struggle to once again set the world into a matrix whereby we buy tons of stuff and everyone simply parks the dollars in their FOREX reserves...this is now going to end. The last of our trading partners have done this and now nearly all of them have squirreled away over $3 trillion in their FOREX reserves and there really is no point in doing this anymore. Do we really imagine the Chinese will hold $3 trillion or $20 trillion in their FOREX accounts?

The ONLY reason they would do this is if we are cooperating with them in the diplomacy realm.

And this is what isn't happening. The US is very arrogant and imagines China must fund our sales and eat our inflation forever. Why, they are hosting the Olympics and like when we boycotted Russia, we will boycott them. The Chinese are aware that the US is itching to boycott China's hosting of the Olympics and they are getting ready for this. They really aren't so concerned anymore that Americans will go to the Olympics because we are throwing ourselves into the financial hole so fast, the dollar will probably be worthless by next summer anyway and no American can afford a wheelbarrel of Deutsche Marks a la Weimar Germany to fly anywhere.

We need China to not just hold dollars but to give us loans. Quite specifically, buy our government debts and loan money to international banks and invest it in hedge funds and private equities. If China withholds money from this and instead, spends it all on buying up as many world oil and mineral installations and facilities as well as ports and transportation systems, we will be stuck locked outside.

This has already begun and the US has tried to stop it by making threats such as threats of bombing Iran, for example, or threats against the various 'stan' countries that have decided Uncle Sam is too cheap to bankroll them while Uncle Hu is loaded with dough. Taiwan is a special case here. Taiwan can see that Hong Kong has flourished even more under Beijing's rule than under the British rule. Taiwan can also see that Japan is bent on hogging as much of the US trade surplus, the devil take the hindmost. And China is courting both Taiwan and both Koreas most ardently.

From Xinhua:

Chinese President Hu Jintao and his South Korean counterpart Roh Moo-hyun Wednesday sent congratulatory messages on the inauguration of a cultural exchange event in Beijing.

In his message, Hu said the event, carrying the title of "Dynamic South Korea," is an important cultural exchange between China and South Korea.

Since the two countries established diplomatic ties 15 years ago, bilateral exchanges and cooperation in various fields have developed rapidly, he said.

"We should make concerted efforts to continue to push forward the healthy and stable development of the China-South Korea comprehensive partnership of cooperation," Hu said.

China has been strengthening its alliances with a host of nations. The Europeans and Americans hate China right now because of the trade surplus China has with both. But this is silly since the entire reason for the trade surplus is because the US and Europe had to use China to get rid of inflation so they could have low interest rates and corporations could have record profits. Now this is ending due to the very simple reason, Europe and America can't go much deeper into debt. They are already at the cliff or off the cliff.

Today, the Bank of Europe is mulling raising interest rates..again! They are already pitching into a depression once trade dries up as it will when the other giant goes under: the USA. We definitely are reaching the limit of debt a nation can run up! Domestic debt is now at 100% the value of our domestic consumer assets (housing, credit cards, student debt, health costs and cars). Will China continue to bankroll us until after next year?

Only if we leave the Taiwan issue alone. China will dump the Olympics if it looks like we will hyper-arm Taiwan. And this can turn to a hot war, fast. For the US is floudering badly. Anyone can see this. We can barely keep our banking system limping along at great cost!

From Xinhua:

Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh expressed the hope that Japan would support India-U.S. civil nuclear deal at Nuclear Supplier's Group (NSG) here on Wednesday.

Speaking at a joint press conference after signing an agreement with Japanese counterpart Shinzo Abe, Singh said he did not back down on the nuclear deal with the United States, and asked Japan for help on the deal.

The US is hyper-hyper arming India. Right on China's flank. Note that it is Japan that is standing alongside in this deal as India hotly states they have a right to develop WMD and use them! The inconsistencies in all this are obvious. Iran has every good reason to do the same. For the international community to stop Iran from defending themselves is pure nonsense. India is on the Security Council and it voted to disarm Iraq and Iran while Pakistan and India go totally nuclear. But the US is disarming Pakistan for fear that Islamic revolutionaries will take over but of course, we ignore why Islamic revolutionaries are taking over everything in sight.

From the NYT:

Pakistan’s Supreme Court ruled today that former prime minister Nawaz Sharif, who was thrust into exile in 2000 following a military coup, could return to the country, in what could be a direct political challenge to Pakistan’s president, Gen. Pervez Musharraf.

Mr. Sharif, a critic of the current government, leads one of the strongest political movements against General Musharraf, and he wants to run against him for president in elections later this year. The ruling could lend momentum to the return to the country of Benazir Bhutto, Mr. Sharif’s predecessor as prime minister, who has also been living in exile and is another potential challenger to the president.

Will this CIA dictator fall? The US is grinding its teeth. The US wants to be allies with India so this balances off China and Russia who are now allies. But this means losing Pakistan. But here we are, listening to the Democrats discuss nuking or not nuking Pakistan! And of course, China will come over and tell Pakistan, 'We are neighbors, let's be allies.' And then we grind our teeth again.

From Xinhua:

Visiting Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki rejected on Wednesday U.S. criticism of his government, saying no one has the responsibility to set a timetable for the Iraqi administration.

Maliki made the remarks at a joint press conference with his Syrian counterpart Mohammad Naji Ottri at the end of his three-day official visit.

"The Iraqi government was elected by the Iraqi people. No one has the right to set a timetable for it," he said, referring to U.S. demand for the Iraqi government to achieve political reconciliation among Iraqi factions.

"Maybe those people who made such statements were disturbed by our visit to Syria. These statements do not concern us much. We care for our people and our constitution and can find friends elsewhere," he said.

A bunch of powerful Democrats, following their AIPAC orders, have openly talked about overthrowing Maliki, a guy supposedly elected by the Iraqis themselves. So much for sovereignty. I see no hope in our future as far as Democratic leaders are concerned. They are total tools of Israel except for KUCINICH. Vote for him. Please.

We need to get control of our diplomatic fates or we will end up very dead. The last thing the Zionists want is for the Sunnis to unite under any banner. They are desperate to keep everyone divided. But the long range plans of the oil Arabs, for example, is very much to unite for they fear the Shi'ites who are growing stronger every day. In Iraq, tools of the American occupation are being assassinated, blown up or chased out by revolutionaries on both sides of this fraternal war. Iran and at least half of Iraq and maybe all the say to Kuwait, will unite soon. And so the Sunnis are giving up on America controlling the Shi'as and are now working on new plans, plans to form a Commonwealth. With an emphisis on 'wealth'. Also, this will stop the US from stealing all the oil which is our secret desire in the end.

From Xinhua:

Georgia said on Wednesday a Russian aircraft had violated its airspace for a second time this month, but Russia denied the accusation.

"The aircraft that ventured into Georgian airspace from Russia flew at an altitude of 4,000 meters at a speed of 470-490 km per hour and penetrated 5 km inside Georgian territory," the Georgian Foreign Ministry said in a statement.

Georgia has registered two similar violations this month and the recent intrusion of Russian aircraft into the country's airspace occurred near the village of Omarishara, in Upper Abkhazia on Tuesday, said the statement.

Russia is flexing its muscles. I am now convinced that Bush Sr tried to buy him off last month. And the price was way too low. For Putin has been twice as belligerent as before. And if the neo cons in America think the Cold War will make them rich and powerful, I must remind them that the Cold War bankrupted not just Russia but THE UNITED STATES.

We were not forced into court like Russia but that was due to Japan and Europe. And the price Japan extracted was for us to deindustrialize and become a colony of Japan. And Europe's demand was that we muscle Russia and even more, muscle the Middle East. They have not given up on their dream of world domination yet. Which is why they think a strong euro is going to make them powerful.

Japan Embraces India As US Anschluss Onslaught Continues

Elaine Meinel Supkis

Japan is suddenly courting India and is now moving factories like a windshield glass factory, for example, to India. Japan is very afraid of China. Of course, the process of depressing wages and moving factories will continue which is why we have 'no inflation' but is also why the older industrial powers are losing steam and declining relative to the oldest of the empires, India and China. The reversal of the Industrial Revolution's flow is a great historical event. The Japanese recognize that they are competitors, not allies, with Europe and America. I wonder when we understand this fact of life. Meanwhile, the right wing rulers of Mexico and Canada conspire in secret to engineer the US Anschluss.

From the New York Times:

As Beijing’s influence in Asia and around the world has grown, their common interests have forced Tokyo and New Delhi to begin warming their historically chilly relationship and to start forging closer economic ties. “The key issue facing the whole region is how to accommodate the rise of China,” said Suman Bery, the director general of the National Council of Applied Economic Research, a New Delhi research group. Indian economists estimate that Japanese investment in India will reach $5.5 billion by 2011, compared with just $515 million in the 2006 fiscal year.

This is part of a general panic that Japan is undergoing as they realized the dragon next door is no longer containable but is rather increasingly in control. Japan can still conn the other G8 nations into supporting attacks on China's markets while Japan insidiously undermines both Europe and American markets for its own benefit...when will everyone figure out that capitalism is all about cut-throat competition? The rulers in Europe and America think this is a good-old-boy's clubhouse where they conspire and drink together and play golf while armed thugs beat up demonstrators far away beyond the barbed wire fences surrounding the country clubs where these rulers hang out. And they imagine that Japan is one of THEM and not another force altogether. They think, Japan wants to make them strong and rich so they can continue to rule the world, see?

The idea that there is a competition running and the way to gage who is winning is laughably simple: look at the FOREX reserves and one can see instantly who has trade surpluses and who is losing the capitalist game. The US is the biggest loser, not the biggest winner, by far. We are dirt poor and deep in debt! How bad can it be?

India's FOREX reserves are growing fast, by the way. Like Brazil, they figured out the new game. Seeing China's successful foray in this brave new FOREX world, first Russia then the other large-sized nations rushed to imitate Japan. Now Japan has to imitate CHINA which has signed an incredible number of treaties and trade deals across the planet in the world's biggest, most coordinated diplomatic rush ever seen in history. Hu and Wen were outside of China so often, they could have been considered immigrants. Heh.

Now Japan's new leader is rushing about, trying to do the same. His attempts to do this with neighbors brutalized by Japan have been a failure. They are all hoping Japan falls on its face. As the Times notes:

“India is a much safer bet, in business terms,” because it lacks the historical baggage, said Richard Tanter, professor of international relations at the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology in Australia.

A massive world war and an attempt at open enslavement is pretty heavy baggage, I might suggest.

Note that like China, Japan is rushing to lock up all future energy and raw material resources in deals for Japan. And the US isn't doing a hot job of this since we are following the older Japanese model of invasions, coups, assassinations and other military messes that cause increasing hatred and counter-strikes. Note that no one is attacking Japan or China! This is the weakness of hyper-militarism: the much cheaper and finer-tuned tools of diplomacy are rejected and instead, brute force is applied with disasterous results.

From the Times:

Japanese business leaders traveling with Mr. Abe will disclose similar deals this week — on natural gas, transportation, currency swaps and Japanese investment in Indian educational projects, Indian officials said. Chief executives from Toyota, Mitsubishi, Canon, Hitachi and others have joined a new India-Japan business leader forum, which will meet for the first time on Wednesday in New Delhi.

Consultants are trying, so far in vain, to coin the catchphrase, like “the Samurai and the Swami,” that will sum up the nascent strategic economic relationship between the countries.

How about, 'Holy Cow, Bat Samurai!' The Japanese will discover a flaw in their plans, though. India has this tendency towards anarchy and the central government has distinct problems. My parents were stationed in India a lot. Once, rioters tried to burn them out of the government building giving them shelter. Another time, a train was hijacked in the desert so the people could drain the water from the steam engine. The military had to come to collect them. And so on. Lots of chaos.

The transportation system is still very primitive more like Africa or the United States, hahaha. Well, roads with lots of cows on them. Another hazard of modern technology there, by the way. Don't hit them thar cows! My father's greatest fear was that. But India isn't a third world country, it is the home of modern mathematics and other things. They invented not only the zero but Nirvana, the land of nothingness! They also understood infinity and invented chess. The intellectual depth of India is great indeed just like China. Both are not third world countries that are unable to cope with modern concepts, not at all. So if Japan wants to make India stronger, that is a good thing!

A unipolar world is a disaster! Look at the mess we made of this! The more balance of power there is, the better off all people are for then no one power can start a world war all that easily.

Japan’s trade with India was about $6.5 billion in 2006, according to the Indian government — about 4 percent of Japan’s trade with China. “Whatever doubts Japan had for so long, now India is smelling like roses,” said Jagdish N. Bhagwati, an economist and a professor at Columbia University and a fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations. “They want to get in before it is too late.”

China is courting India too. And so is Russia. And India has a long, long history of triangulating everyone. India should be very happy to be in this position. There is one problem: Pakistan and the growing Islamic revolution that is shaking the pillars of power and which could be key to any world war developing depending on how the oil business evolves when we hit the Hubbert Oil Peak's declining side of the mountain.

From the News of Pakistan:

Supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei on Sunday launched a new attack on the United States, saying Iran’s arch enemy was stuck in a whirlpool and would sink deeper in the future.

America is weaker compared to 20 years ago and it does not have its previous power and grandeur, Khamenei said in a speech to participants in a religious conference, state television said.

Just had to include that little remark from Iranian Kitty. The cat is correct, of course. US power is declining. Right now, we are kept alive only because everyone is ringing up ruinous debts against us. This is going to end our power once and forever in due time. This is why we see such a rush to form alliances all over the planet. The decline in US power has shifted alliances significantly.

From Associated Press:

The broad theme of the summit is economic prosperity, built around several topics: border security, competitiveness with India and China, product safety and energy solutions.

Bush will also be faced with matters of specific concern to each of the countries.

He will first meet with Harper at Fairmont Le Chateau Montebello, a luxury resort made out of one of the world's largest log cabins.

Bush is sure to thank Harper for Canada's commitment to keeping troops in Afghanistan.

Meanwhile, Harper is frustrated over a U.S. law that tightened passport rules for Canadians visiting the U.S., although Bush has pledged to enforce it and has little leeway.

Harper is also expected to assert his nation's claim to the fabled Northwest Passage through the resource-rich Arctic. Competition to control the Arctic has intensified with global warming; Russia sent two small submarines to plant a tiny national flag under the North Pole this month. The U.S. and Norway also have claims.

The US has a long history of Anschluss with Mexico. We Anschlussed Texas. Then we Anschlussed California and then Arizona, Utah, Nevada, New Mexico and Colorado. Now we will Anschluss the rest in order to get all that oil. And Canada! Oh, the wars we fought with both the British empire and the French empire! Canada became a nation in the end but the US has always had invasion plans if we needed to invade again. The fight over the Northwest Passage was a severe test on Canadian/US relations only there was no passage so that was dropped. The US suddenly bought territory held by the Czar when he had to pay for his war with Japan, for example. That trumped Canada and put us on top as well as bottom of the map.

This latest Anschluss attempt is a conspiracy by three guys all of whom were put in power in elections that can barely be described as 'democratic' and in the US and Mexico, featured outright theft and manipulations and of course, the media working to put in power someone who will serve the ruling elites. Now the elites are fed up with democracy and Dissident Bush who feels put out because we have no democracy and he can't end tyranny, will end tyranny by conspiring to destroy our sovereignty and did I say something about arresting traitors?

Treason is fun when it makes themselves rich. So many people are conspiring against America, it isn't funny. HAHAHA. Arrest them all. And hark! There are actually young, brave souls willing to travel long distances to these hidden Eagle's Airy Nests high in the Alps or in the wilderness in the Northlands. These good youth risk life and limb, literally, to protest these many Bilderburgian meetings. The meetings have become more and more remote and more and more dangerous to democracy and if Bush wants to end tyranny, he could imitate the General who visited Hitler's bunker with a briefcase, no? Naw.

From Canada:

(Reuters) - Protesters and riot police clashed on Monday outside a posh Canadian resort where North American leaders are meeting to discuss trade, security, and the recent turmoil in global credit markets.

Police fired tear gas as they pushed back about 150 people outside the Chateau Montebello resort in Montebello, Quebec, which is about 70 km (40 miles) east of Ottawa. The demonstrators tossed bottles and vegetables, having tried earlier in the day to break through police lines.

One person was arrested, police said.

The protesters were among about 2,000 people who demonstrated for several hours outside the site of the meeting of U.S. President George W. Bush, Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper and Mexican President Felipe Calderon.

The leaders downplayed the demonstration. "I've heard it's nothing... A couple hundred? It's sad," Harper said to reporters before going into a meeting with Bush.

Hear that, fellow Ameros? The leader who leads Canada thinks you are all 'sad'. Pathetic. He thinks you are all stupid people daring to interfere with him joining the other rulers in redrawing borders and eliminating your civil rights and your citizenship privilages! He didn't say, 'Let them eat cake' but he did say that, actually.

Remember the Bastille!

Tyrant Bush Whines He Can't Kill Tyrants Fast Enough

Elaine Meinel Supkis

Even the New York Times can't compete with the Washington Post when it comes to warmongering and wailing about fighting for freedom and democracy while secretly working to enslave all humanity. This latest attempt at rewriting reality a la 1984 by Peter Baker is a classic piece worthy of the inane writings of Six Months More Friedman of the NYT.

By Peter Baker
Washington Post Staff Writer

By the time he arrived in Prague in June for a democracy conference, President Bush was frustrated. He had committed his presidency to working toward the goal of "ending tyranny in our world," yet the march of freedom seemed stalled. Just as aggravating was the sense that his own government was not committed to his vision.

Already, we have fallen through the entire length and breadth of reality and are now in Never Neverland. Or Neener-neenerland. Or just plain total-reverseland. Up is down, in is out and black is white. Bush and his fellow wizards at Pigwarts know the secret to magic spells is to make opposites switch. This leads to turning words on their heads and it spreads madness and insanity and an inability to think. The fact that the world's #1 dictator who openly snarked that it is easier to be a dictator than to deal with a 70% disapproval for an unpopula war, for example. This 'decider who decides' who is the 'leader who leads' went slinking off to Europe recently to play Lenin to a room full of 'dissidents' begging the imperial wizard to please give them freedom and elections like the ones he gave to the Palestinian people.

Today, Israel has gotten another $30 billion of taxpayer funds for free while they cut off all electricity to Gaza and have seized even more olive groves from Palestinian farmers on the West Bank. And the US has imposed a dictatorship again upon the Palestinians and is working with the Zionist Jews to extend the destruction of the Gaza Ghetto. So much for freedom. And the war with the Iraqi people rages onwards, not even slightly abating. Sadr openly boasted today that he now controls Basra. The quisling govenors of several Iraqi regions have been blown up this week, judges are being murdered and the biggest bombing of all has hit the Kurdish sector and the US is openly talking about bombing Iran which is one of the very few Ottoman provinces aside from Turkey that has anything close to an elected government.

And Bush was in Europe meeting with dissidents from these parts? He gave an award of freedom to a neo-con Zionist praising the New World Order which means stealing stuff from Muslims, enslaving and murdering the Palestinians and destroying freedom in South America and Asia while spreading chaos in Africa. Right!

Baker continues to babble wildly:

As he sat down with opposition leaders from authoritarian societies around the world, he gave voice to his exasperation. "You're not the only dissident," Bush told Saad Eddin Ibrahim, a leader in the resistance to Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak. "I too am a dissident in Washington. Bureaucracy in the United States does not help change. It seems that Mubarak succeeded in brainwashing them."

The #2 nation after the Jewish fascists (Palestinians get virtually no money so I have to point out that the recipients are ONLY Jews), the #2 nation to get US foreign aid is...trumpets, please: EGYPT. The despot there rules courtesy of US money spent on keeping him firmly in power! The last thing the US wants is elections in Egypt. The brutality of the Egyptian pharaoh is bankrolled by Bush! For the last seven years, in order to fool everyone, the neo cons, the Jews in our government and the oil barons all worked tirelessly to pretend they want elections in all Muslim lands and our oil soaked invasions are not for oil or for extending the Jewish colonization of Muslim lands but is for saving the Muslims from tyranny of their own rulers!

The stupidity of all this is obvious. An analysis proporting to be talking about the lunacy of our demented and very unpopular ruler going off and trying to spread democracy and freedom but instead, spreading chaos and death, should be the topic of this article which was stuck on the FRONT PAGE, for god's sake! By the Post. Obviously, the Zionists at the Post feel it is time to wipe the blood from their hands and try yet again to innoculate their bloody rule by pretending they are bringing great gifts and not booby traps to Muslims.

It is quite notable that Bush and his gang working in concert with fascists infesting the Holy Land, have destroyed our Constitution and eliminated many of our freedoms in this fake quest for the Holy Grail.

Baker continues to lie:

If he needed more evidence, he would soon get it. In his speech that day, Bush vowed to order U.S. ambassadors in unfree nations to meet with dissidents and boasted that he had created a fund to help embattled human rights defenders. But the State Department did not send out the cable directing ambassadors to sit down with dissidents until two months later. And to this day, not a nickel has been transferred to the fund he touted.

Does Baker, a notorious Zionistic neo con, tell us that Bush obviously lied to those 'dissidents'? Of course not! If Baker is going to be lying nonstop, he will lie about lies! The devil the Skull and Bones pray to is the Lord of the Flies and the King of the Lies. So these magicians ruling us think, if they wave words around and reverse their intent, this isn't lies at all, this is MAGIC! And they will fool people and this is good since fooling people will make Israel stronger and stronger and oh-oh. I recall the whole business of the Apocalypse is when the world follows a lying bastard who is the exact opposite of reality!

It should be obvious to anyone with a brain that Bush promised things he had no intention of carrying through. THE ONLY PEOPLE WHO GOT MONEY THIS LAST TWO MONTHS WAS ISRAEL!!!! How obvious can this be? And a record amount of money, too! This is utterly disgusting and totally expected.

More half-baked Baker:

The story of how a president's vision is translated into thorny policy is a classic Washington tale of politics, inertia, rivalries and funding battles -- and a case study in the frustrated ambition of a besieged presidency. Bush says his goal of "ending tyranny" will take many generations, and he aims to institutionalize it as U.S. policy no matter who follows him in the White House. And for all the difficulties of the moment, it may yet, as he hopes, see fruition down the road.

Here it is: the world's most powerful emperor is fighting to end 'tyranny'? Why doesn't he go hang himself after shooting Cheney in the face like Cheney shoots people in the face??? I would applaud his efforts. Tyrants should all go hang just like Saddam was hung. We should petition our emperor to do this! He has to succeed at SOMETHING, gads! This, he can do!

But he won't. And this is what this entire article which drones on and on and on as this magician, Baker, tries to upend reality and pretend it doesn't exist.

From Raw Story:

Protesters will be "seen and heard" when North American leaders meet next week in Montebello, near Ottawa, but only virtually -- via an audio-video feed set up by organizers.

And the heads of the United States, Canada and Mexico may opt to change the channel.

The arrangement is "in compliance with (a Canadian) court's decision that protesters have a right to be 'seen and heard,'" said Sandra Buckler, a spokeswoman for host Stephen Harper, the prime minister of Canada.

However, the novel plan to give protesters a voice, while maintaining strict security for the talks, has riled protesters being kept out by a fence, three meters (10 feet) high and 2.5-kilometers (1.5 miles) around the meeting place.

All hail freedom and democracy! Stay behind the fence deep in the woods thousands of miles away from where the dictators meet in high secrecy as they plot their global rule! And hark, what is that I hear? The flapping of dragon wings as China meets INTERNALLY in secret to discuss rule of the world?

The US is setting up a new country that is Canada, Mexico and the US as one entity ruled BY OUR MILITARY. This hyper-empire will fix the US trade deficit by eliminating half of it in one fell stroke! And since the US has the bulk of the population and the military, this hyper-empire will be ruled by emperors using our military which is the biggest but most expensive on earth. And since many people find this move to unite the US with our neighors in an Anschluss that will ultimately hurt all of us, the rulers must keep protestors far away or murder them or both. The ruling elites crushing us all meet all over the planet in secret ways. The stupid Bush meeting with dissidents was a Potemkin event that was concealed from the general public because it would have been besieged by screaming hordes demanding Bush eliminate himself as the key despot in this world!

Argh.

The news about this coming union is being concealed carefully by our media which is in cahoots in this New World Order. As Israel increases its grip on power in the West, our collective good credit and our ability to do diplomacy collapses as the entire system is forced to go in a direction we can't travel on much further without sliding into WWIII.

From Rense:

FMCSA - Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration proceeding with cross-border plan

"They are determined to open our highways to Mexico-domiciled trucking companies and truck drivers regardless of the concerns that have been raised by Congress and the American people.
While the vast majority of the comments were submitted by individuals and were "no more than a few sentences," the FMCSA notice stated that a number of groups and organizations had submitted detailed comments, including OOIDA, AFL-CIO, the Teamsters, the ATA, the Oregon DOT, Public Citizen, PATT, CRASH and 114 members of Congress.

http://www.landlinemag.com/Special_Reports/2007/Aug07/0
81707_FMCSA_proceeding.htm

This is how we plan to get rid of inflation. All remaining internal jobs held by Americans will now be eliminated or the competition internally will be such, everyone's wages will fall just like in Japan and we will have no more inflation even if oil keeps going up in price. This is also why Bush refuses to patrol our borders to the south. The flood of illegal aliens let in after 9/11 were all about flushing out inflation when we dropped interest rates to 1%.

From the Telegraph:

President Vladimir Putin and his Chinese counterpart, Hu Jintao, will attend an unprecedented show of joint military force today amid fears that the Russian leader is trying to turn an increasingly powerful central Asian alliance into a second Warsaw Pact.

The United States will be anxiously watching the military manoeuvres - held under the auspices of the six-member Shanghai Co-operation Organisation (SCO) - from afar after its request to send observers was rejected.

Meanwhile, the Russian/Chinese alliance grows. And note that they locked out Europe and America. The Europeans will bankroll the US as we try to rule the world. Europe still hasn't, not even after WWI and WWII, given up the notion that they can rule the world. And so we get a world of conflicts and the CIA working overtime to overthrow democratic elections we don't like while pretending to be helpless when it comes to unseating despots we put in power in the first place and pay to stay in power.

These wretched foreign policy efforts will, like our economic efforts, continue unchanged until we fall completely off the same stupid cliff all empires heave over. Then it will be China's turn at last at world rule.

The Chinese Aim For Moon And Russia For Arctic

Elaine Meinel Supkis

China just sat and watched with bemused fascination the G7 nations struggle to keep their banking system afloat. The Chinese now know who has control of the earth's economy. They will now request the IMF and the WTO now restructure themselve to reflect the new reality. But this won't happen. Meanwhile, the US accuses the Persian kitty of being mean and the US worries about Pakistan's nukes and Russia and China do joint military war games while the Chinese cow plans to jump over the moon. And map it, too.

From the BBC:

As the race to back up claims over the resources of the Arctic Ocean heats up, Canada has said it will build two new military bases in its far north.
Prime Minister Stephen Harper made the announcement during a tour of Canada's northern territories.

It comes as a Danish mission prepares to sail to the North Pole to map the seabed under the ice.

First, the race to Santa's workshop. Putin wasted no time after turning down Bush's bribes. He ran off to conquer the roof of the world. The US wants to dispute this but we can't except along Alaska's frontiers. But the ocean is deep there! Unlike where the ridge is which connects Russia to Canada. As global warming removes Greenland's ice, the battle over that smaller continent will heat up too. Then there is the Antarctic. Another treasure trove. That isn't being fought over..yet. But it will be. Then there is another landmass we should all wonder about: the moon.

From Xinhua:

China plans to measure every inch of the soil of the moon in its planned lunar probe program, said Ouyang Ziyuan, chief scientist of the program.

By measuring the soil of the moon we can figure out the exact amount of helium-3, a resource for nuclear fusion, said Ouyang.

Earlier reports said China's first lunar orbiter, Chang'e I, would most likely be launched in the second half of 2007.

When I was participating in the L-5 Society which was launched by my sister, Carolyn and my brother in law, Keith Henson (he who is fighting the crazed mob of Scientologists), we often discussed the moon and its probable mineral resources. The fact that there are who-knows -how much mineral wealth there is obvious. Of course, exploiting this requires setting up habitations like in 'The Moon Is A Harsh Mistress' by Heinlein. We hear all the time like this week here in the US, all about the dangers and hazards and deaths involved with mining anything and the moon will be the ultimate mine. Our futuristic plan hatched in 1972 was to build colonies half way between the earth and moon so it could be a transit point between the deep gravity well of this planet and the moon---so we could build space interstellar as well as interplanetary space craft and launch them from the L5 orbit.

This collapsed because the US decided to go the Star Wars route of dominating this planet by threatening everyone with nuclear warfare while making America 'safe'. If ever there was a fool's goal, this was it. As we can see, it isn't mere nuclear war but a complete break-down of all our systems including our economic system, we had to fear.

The US has run a half-dead space program starved of funds thanks to the need to wage futile and expensive wars over the possession of oil pumping nations and holding down the Afghanis who hate our guts and are growing opium in record amounts. Anyway, I expect China to take over the role of Space Cadets faring forth to conquer the world. So much for idealism.

From Prison Planet:

President Bush charged Thursday that Iran continues to arm and train insurgents who are killing U.S. soldiers in Iraq, and he threatened action if that continues.

At a news conference Thursday, Bush said Iran had been warned of unspecified consequences if it continued its alleged support for anti-American forces in Iraq. U.S. Ambassador to Iraq Ryan Crocker had conveyed the warning in meetings with his Iranian counterpart in Baghdad, the president said.

Here, Kitty, kitty! Come get the nice bowl of milk! Of course, the US is wasting all its money and energy trying to bell this cat and after one failure after another, it never ends. Israel wants us to destroy Iran and the corrupt, fat little kings and princes of Saudi Arabia can't wait for us to crush the Shi'ites. Why are we doing this while China prepares to take the moon and Russia, the crown of the planet earth, baffles me. What do we imagine we will gain? Already, these wars have cost us trillions of dollars. We can't bankroll more. In the news is the story that the Democratic candidates except for Kucinich, are expecting to keep our troops in Iraq for fucking forever.

Excuse me as I go off and scream. GAAAAHHH. Sigh--this will never end except with our bankruptcy and it looks rather sooner than later if the Chinese continue to withhold the $400 billion they get each year trading with the G7 nations. Perhaps they will use the $400 billion for their moon colonization/mining project? Certainly, they don't care if the Moon is a very harsh Mistress, they lived with Madame Mao, after all!

From Fars News:

TEHRAN (Fars News Agency)- Iran and Iraq will sign a deal in the next few days to build a pipeline that would transfer crude from southern Iraqi oilfields to refineries in Iran, a senior Iranian official said yesterday.

Iraq announced in May it had agreed to begin discussions with Iran over the pipeline that will carry 200,000 barrels of Iraqi crude to Iran per day.

Last week, Israel ordered the US to jump to it and install a pipe from Iraq to Israel. The US pretends Iraq hates Iran but the SHI'A of Iraq LOVE the Shi'a of Iran and it doesn't take a genius to figure out why. Any pipeline to Israel is doomed. And eventually, Shi'a Iraq will unite with Shi'a Iran if the Sunni keeps sending in suicide fighters to kill the Shi'ites. And of course, Sadr is very busy and most dangerously, very invisible. Like bin Laden.

I am running out of inspiration for my Persian Kitty versus Miz Liberty cartoons. The Liberty character has been clawed up so badly now, she is quite pale. And she has strongarmed Europe into attacking Iran further but this simply makes life easier for the Chinese Dragon! 'Isolating' the Iranian cat while the US and Europe have to spend all their FOREX reserves to protect the banking system here is too funny. The US is trying to prevent Iran and Cuba from using any banks?

HAHAHA. Right! And what if WE can't use any banks? This is a distinct possibility. And smacks of the sort of backlash the goddess of Hubris specializes in. Namely, karma strikes.

Rafsanjani: US in Desperate Need of Iran's Assistance

TEHRAN (Fars News Agency)- Tehran's provisional Friday Prayers leader Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani said the United States' efforts to get rid of its humiliating situation in Iraq and Afghanistan would lead to nowhere unless it revises its wrong policies and attracts Iran's positive view and assistance.

It seems that Iran is winning this diplomatic game, hands down. We may want to shove this Cheshire cat around but all we get is its grin. We need to get the devotion and love of Maliki and his group but we aren't getting it, we get IEDs. And Iran continues to cement its very real victory. Saudi Arabia and Israel are united in wanting to murder all the Palestinians and kill all the Shi'as but they are both losing more and more and bin Laden's revolultion continues to advance in Afghanistan, Pakistan and other lands.

From Xinhua:

PYONGYANG, Aug. 10 (Xinhua) -- The Democratic People's Republic of Korea(DPRK) on Friday criticized the United States for intruding in Afghanistan and urged Washington to take the responsibility for rescuing the South Korean hostages held by Taliban militants.

"The United States is entirely accountable for the (kidnapping) crisis," said the statement issued by the official National Reconciliation Council.

The US allowed and encouraged a flood of evangelicals to invade Afghanistan. And in turn, this makes our situation totally impossible since this is exactly what bin Laden predicted we would do. In Malaysia this weekend, Muslim radicals had a huge congress where they declared they must revive the Great Muslim Empires of the Abbasids.

From Xinhua:

U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice had talks here on Thursday with Japanese Defense Minister Yuriko Koike and thanked Japan for continued logistical support for American military operations in Afghanistan.

Rice thanked Koike "for Japan's efforts in fighting the war on terrorism, especially with respect to their mission out in the Indian Ocean in support of Operation Enduring Freedom," State Department spokesman Sean McCormack told reporters.

The LDP's support of US invasions of Muslim lands is quite unpopular in Japan as it is nearly everywhere these days. The psychotic need to pretend we are in this global push against a bunch of barely armed peasants is highly important to the US which puzzles me since these wars are bankrupting us and the entire world's economic systems are about to crash about our ears and here are our neo-con men and women running about the planet, doing stupid symbolic garbage like this that endangers us and our allies. The Democratic opposition leader Ozawa, refused to even talk to ole' Condi. This is a major embarrassment for her and she shouldn't have played this little psycho drama. It weakens America and makes us look the fool. Which, I suppose, we are.

From CNN:

U.S. military intelligence officials are urgently assessing how secure Pakistan's nuclear weapons would be in the event President Gen. Pervez Musharraf were replaced as the nation's leader, CNN has learned.

Analysts wonder how secure Pakistan's nuclear weapons would be if President Pervez Musharraf were replaced.

Key questions in the assessment include who would control Pakistan's nuclear weapons after a shift in power. The United States is pressuring Musharraf, who took control in a 1999 coup, not to declare a state of emergency as he faces growing political opposition.

We hope to violate Pakistan's sovereignty. Right on the heels of giving India the green light to continue and expand their nuclear generation and weaponization programs! The nuclear cat is out of the bag. It escaped 62 years ago when we used it exclusively against civilians in Japan. The dead will haunt us forever. Our present hysteria about nuclear bombs is plain silly. Either we disarm or we shut up. These fears and demands are demeaning and we have lost immense amounts of 'face' due to this.

From McClatchy News:

Russia, China and four former Soviet Central Asian republics have sent some 6,500 troops to participate in a multinational war game, in which they've deployed paratroops, 80 aircraft and hundreds of armored combat vehicles to suppress an Islamic uprising, similar to one that occurred in Uzbekistan in 2005.

The joint exercise, which started Thursday and runs through next Thursday, is the biggest organized yet by the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, a six-year-old security forum that languished in near-obscurity for some time but may be turning into a form of security alliance.

And the counter-imperial alliance grows stronger. Since the participants represent a huge proportion of the world's FOREX reserve wealth, we must take them very seriously. Namely, it isn't merely military. The winner of this game is the party who has the fewest enemies, the most money and the strongest leaders.

State Department Wants No Talk About Apocalypse

Elaine Meinel Supkis

The top international issue facing the US is the evolving Apocalpyse. WWIII will end modern civilization and perhaps all humans on earth. I have thought, throughout my life, this is the most important thing to talk about. So our candidates are cheerfully talking about it....WANTING IT TO HAPPEN! The State Department wants them to shut up and say nothing even as the State Department arms everyone so they can create it. I say, we MUST talk about it or else. And it is important to know that the top four to six candidates supported by our warmongering media are all for launching nuclear war on not only 'enemies' but even 'allies'!

From the USA Daily:

The State Department has a message for White House candidates wanting to expound on sensitive diplomatic issues: Shut up.

Traditionally silent during presidential campaigns filled with divisive foreign policy debates, the department on Friday delivered a rebuke to would-be nominees of both parties whose recent comments have complicated U.S. efforts to overcome deep suspicion about the war on terrorism in the Muslim world.

"Those who wish to hold office can speak for themselves and whoever is elected in 2008 and comes into office in 2009 will then be in a position to talk about what they intend or plan to do," said deputy spokesman Tom Casey, a career foreign service officer.

First it was Barack Obama's talk of dialogue with dictators and invading Pakistan to kill Islamist militants, then it was Hillary Rodham Clinton refusing to rule out the use of nuclear weapons to that end. Now, the Democratic front-runners have been joined by radical Republican Rep. Tom Tancredo, who threatened to bomb Muslim holy sites to stop terror attacks.

The State Department had hoped to steer clear of controversy, complaints and public protests sparked by Obama and Clinton, but Tancredo's comments bumped up against the limit of diplomatic patience.

Oh, I see now! We have 'elections' that talk about 'issues' but if a person is planing on nuking Mecca, they should HIDE this and then sneak into office and only then should they let us know their true plans as we watch them doing it? I happen to believe that elections are times to examine the true plans and true natures of candidates. My opposition to Clinton and Obama shot through the roof this week as these two nuts tried to out-AIPAC each other. Not to be left behind, all the Republican creeps except for the notably different Ron Paul, all talked WWIII and spat fire and hate too.

There are 3 antiwar Democrats, the top one being Kucinich who actually voted against the illegal Iraq invasion. Edwards and Clinton both talk out of both sides of their very-stretched mouths when talking about wars. We know they went to the big AIPAC bash where the Jews were screaming for war, war, war. The media refused to cover this event. A great number of our media outlets ---now including the Wall Street Journal, are owned or run by Jews who had easy access to the AIPAC hate fest. Yet not one of them bothered to tell the American voters about this.

Here is a good interview with Kucinich talking sanely about war.

In that astonishing meeting, the top Democratic candidates were cheered loudly when they discussed their future WWIII plans. A End of Times 'Christian' leader even got a standing ovation when he urged everyone to rush into the Apocalypse. When I was a naive child, I was distressed about the whole 'God decided to kill all living things except for a few' Noah story and then, when I learned about the Antichrist and the Apocalypse, I thought no one could be so insane as to fulfill this prophesy.

Well, life has taught me a sharp lesson. Just as the Christians embraced a man who belongs to a family that has worshipped the Devil that is Death and practices satanic rituals, they not only bowed to this obvious satanist who even flashes them the devil's horns hand sign while sneering, they loved him as he showed every sign of being the exact opposite of Jesus. They did this because he promised to lead them into the Apocalypse. This makes him a form of Antichrist on nearly every level.

Ronald Reagan ran for office, promising 'Morning in America' but he filled his offices and promoted within the Pentagon, a gang of complete lunatics who wanted to see the End of Times! Somehow, in his dotage, he changed direction thanks to Gorbechev. But since then, the right wing has redoubled its efforts to create WWIII. The fall of Russia put a cap on their expectations but now they are in full lather, pushing events towards this with all their might. This dovetails with Jewish dreams of stealing absolutely everything from the Palestinian people and enslaving all Muslims so they serve Jews and let Jews run their affairs from top to bottom using the might of American military power to do this. This stupid plan would get nowhere if Christians opposed this but they support it merrily because they were told, in the Bible, this would bring Jesus back to earth to murder most humans.

I try and try to be loving and kind to Christians but I cannot. This is due 100% to the Bible and the Apocalypse therein. Jesus himself, using the Bible's own logic, IS THE ANTICHRIST. By definition. The Bible stories of Jesus is all about how he raises people from the dead and heals the sick and lame. Yet this same psychotic book has him coming back through the mighty Gates of Death to....murder everyone. This issue should be discussed in public and it is very much a part of our election system. Clinton and Obama have been trumpetting their religious values and the demonic right wing Republicans blast this business from coast to coast. They all promise they will be good Christians. And since they all talk openly about nuclear war with all of Islam, we must take them very seriously.

Namely, they are all running on the Armaggeddon bus to hell.

From Rense:

For the past 24 hours, Baghdad has had virtually no running water.

Major parts of the city of six million people have lacked running water for six days, while daily high temperatures have ranged from 115 to 120 degrees. The tiny amount of water dripping through the pipes is causing many of those who must drink it to suffer acute intestinal illness.

According to reports, not enough electricity is available to run Baghdad's water pumps. This in a country with vast energy resources.

Corporate media outlets-to the extent they have reported this horrific and mind-boggling story at all-have treated it as a failure on the part of Iraqis.

We have turned Babylon into hell. Far from fixing anything anywhere, we are the Destroyers. And we mean ill. We have no desire to save anyone, we went into Iraq filled with lust, desire and murderous intent. Every day since, this has continued. Even if people went in with kind intentions, this swiftly changed to hate as the Iraqis resisted our cruel embrace. The conflict we started ourselves is due 100% to our own lusts for oil and power. And the iron crown of demonic rule sits upon our own brows. And if we elect a President who voted for this obviously illegal invasion---there were no WMD---and if we vote for pro-Israel war mongering, we will be directly responsible for WWIII and the Apocalypse.

I have an unfortunate problem, I can see into the future. And when I was very, very young, I saw total nuclear war and every day of my life, I have struggled to prevent this horror. I had raging battles with my very influential dad over this subject. I was forced from my home at a very young age because of this and today, my father and mother have disowned me totally over this issue. They are born again religious people who WANT this to happen and I know their plans! I know all these people's plans! I know that they imagine this will save the earth from overpopulation. And since the Muslim lands are seeing some of the fastest growth rates on earth, this is not me talking insane. It really is the true plans.

The last Presidental election was between two Skull and Bones satanists both of whom claimed falsely, to be Christians, both voting for or sponsoring illegal invasions of Muslim lands. And both barely talked about all this except to talk about how they were going to protect us.

Magic is an important element in wealth and power. Universally, both of these things are seen as 'evil' and not 'good'. People seeking both end up monsters like the Roman Emperors or Egyptian god-pharohs or the Emperors of ancient China, the priest-kings of Central America. Cruelty is born of the loins of the goddess of wealth and the god of power. According to the Bible, when Jesus was still a Jew and not a god, he begged his followers to share their wealth and to cut their cloaks in two rather than exploit their fellow man. He begged them to help strangers and not try to rob them if they found a Palestinian Samaritan lying on the road, ill. He talked as if he were a communist revolutionary and the key ceremony in the Church was, until 1200 AD, 'Communion'.

But all religions end up being systems for exploiting the poor and oppressing the people. Just like all communist systems do the same. The temptation to do this is tremendously strong since it happens all the time. This is why our Founding Fathers tried to prevent this by writing this document called the Constitution. It was set up to divide power and frustrate total rule. And it is totally dead now. We have no Constitution, we have power and wealth dictating to us what we shall do next and both are totally focused in creating the conditions that will relentlessly and logically drive us into WWIII.

From the New York Times:

Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, embracing an appointed Palestinian prime minister here in the West Bank, said Thursday that the United States still supported democracy in the Middle East. But she defended the American refusal to recognize the earlier, elected, Hamas-led government.

Standing next to Mahmoud Abbas, the Palestinian president, during a news conference here, Ms. Rice said, “We believe strongly in the right of people to express themselves and their desires, in elections.” But, she added, once elected, “ you have the obligation to govern responsibly.”

The US has never, ever supported 'democracy' in the Middle East or the South East or South or North or West. We have a long, nasty record of dominance and power. We put on our iron crown and go off, overthrowing ANYONE on earth who dares to elect ANYONE who isn't our puppet or servant. We also pay for and totally support a religious dictatorship in Palestine's Jewish-dominated half, a dictatorship that passes laws that are cruel and oppressive in the extreme. Unfair and undemocratic. And we prop up the despots in Arabia.

The mixed up foreign policies based on all this leads to lots of tension as countervailing forces tear at our Ship of State as it sails though these icebergs. Just as our ancestors tried to paper over slavery in our Constitution, we are now papering over our support of religious bigotry and dictatorship in all the regimes we sponsor in the Middle East. Foolishly, we are encouraging a conflict between Sunni and Shia, we have done this for years and years and years. Foolishly, we arm everyone and try to use the concept of disarmament to put nations we wish to dominate, into powerlessness. This mad process is driving us into war. And our candidates must talk about disarmament. Honestly. They must talk about how they plan to either continue our hyper-expensive arms build up and global occupation forces build up or they must talk about how they will stop this madcap process.

They have to talk about money. And wealth. We are spending more than the whole world, on our arms. And this isn't making us or the world safer at all. The logic of disarmament is, the more we arm, the more likely WWIII can be accidentally triggered. But our military is thoroughly infested with people who itch to fulfill the prophesy of the Apocalypse. These maniacs run riot in our Airforce and at the bases where missiles are kept. Their plans must be discussed by our candidates. But our media people won't do this. No one with any power over Americans want to talk about any of this except behind our backs. The Pope won't talk about it but this is his dream, too. He is a creature from the Dark who relishes sitting on a throne, he dresses like a tiny wren thinking it is an exotic peacock. This, in stark contrast with the austere Shi'ite religious leaders who resemble Moses and Jesus much more than Ratzinger. And this is the really shocking part: these Middle Eastern leaders are people Moses and Jesus would recognize as their own! Modern Jews live like the people in pre-Moses invasion of the Holy Lands. They run around dressed provocatively. I saw a huge ad in the New Yorker touting this fine Jewish young lady covorting on the beach and it said, if Jewish men wanted to have fun with half-dressed young ladies, they should rush to Israel and have sex!

This was jaw-dropping for me. I heard they were planning an ad campaign to attract men of draft age. But the tools they use are exactly that which the Muslims condemn as irreligious. Not to mention the pious right wing Jewish fanatics who won't veil their women but keep them in old-European-style 'modesty' as if this were the Victorian era. Aw, scratch that. My great grandmother would perish than to go in public showing her ankles! And after a death in the family, unveiled. And here is another intersection in history: even as the West pretends it is moral and upright, we live more and more like ancient Egyptians which is fine with me, I fought hard for my human rights to be free and not muffled in veils! But we can't wave the Bible at Muslims and yell at them when we are so obviously living totally at odds with the way Jesus wanted us to live. This is plain silly.

And another sign of the Apocalypse. This thing happens when everything is the exact opposite of what they claim to be. An explosive '1984'. And this is why we must debate all of this including these contridictions.

From the News:

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said on Friday he was “amazed” by Western mockery of Russia’s landmark expedition to the North Pole seabed this week, including a flag-laying on the ocean floor.

“I read messages about the statements that my Canadian colleague made. They truly amazed me,” Lavrov was quoted by news agency Inter fax as saying during a visit to Manila.

Lavrov’s Canadian counterpart poured scorn on the expedition, in which a Russian mini-submarine reached the bottom of the Arctic Ocean as part of an initiative to advance Russia’s territorial claims over the resource-rich seabed.

Washington was equally dismissive. “I’m not sure of whether they’ve put a metal flag, a rubber flag or a bed sheet on the ocean floor,” said State Department spokesman Tom Casey. “Either way, it doesn’t have any legal standing or effect on this claim.”

Millions and millions of people die because of maps. Fighting over a few square miles of Europe in WWI saw millions of deaths in just a few months! Either the US honors the UN's charter and begins to withdraw from our plans of world domination so we can tap the wealth of the world, or we go into WWIII. The US can stop this Russian move if the UN were an organization that resolved such issues. But the temptation to use force to get one's own way is great. And leaders always end up pushing for more. And Russia's siezure of the North Pole was a direct response to Bush's attempt at bribing Putin into betraying Russia to the US. He has literally thrown down a gauntlet. And this is because the US keeps attacking China over China's currency while allowing Japan to run riot.

From Xinhua:

China has lodged a stern representation to Japan for playing the "national anthem of the Republic of China" at Asia men's basketball championship.

An official with the Chinese Foreign Ministry on Friday summoned an official of the Japanese Embassy in Beijing and lodged a stern representation in this regard, said a press release from the ministry.

Deeply embedded in our souls is this death wish. I would suggest, we have this because we can see our own future deaths. The fear this inspires is great so we rush forwards into the arms of death, seeking relief from our own inner pain and terror. This is why religions were first created. But thanks to this death wish, many religions ended up being death wishes incarnate, not refuges from this! And this is the ultimate contridiction!

We want to live forever and we fear this utterly. We fear peace more than we fear war. And our desire for security makes our lives less secure. Nay, this leads to tyranny and oppression as well as war. And the wheel of history continues its relentless turning.

One of my readers recently asked me to talk about the Roman empire and how they spread their troops around, never letting them serve in countries where they were born or had families. This was done to prevent uprisings like the one in the conquered kingdom of Israel. So troops from the Middle East were stationed in England or Germany, for example. This led to the opposite problem: military power was increasingly concentrated on the fringes were the troops were and since they didn't live where they were stationed, they would happily heed any leader's cry to march on Rome and take control! So wave after wave of military leaders led their troops merrily to Rome and they constantly were overthrowing the government. The borders would become unstable because of this so Emperors had to turn around and march back and this led to corruption, chaos and insane dictators taking over again and again. And over the years, this destroyed the Roman Empire utterly.

And this takes me to yet one more story: Bush is withdrawing the National Guard from patrolling our southern borders. The US seeks 'protection' by massing our National Guard inside Babylon while at the same time, leaving the borders to the heart of our empire hanging wide open. Our security at home drops every year even as our dictator claims he is securing our borders by moving our miltary deep inside Muslim territory where everyone hates us. And which inspires them into attacking us at home.
