China Flogging – A Media Pastime

Posted on by Helena

Listening to various media outlets vilify China has become an international pastime. The Chinese government is blamed for everything from the US economic woes, to the global wavering, to the housing crisis, to instigation of all confrontations with Japan. They are at once called on to stabilize the world and at the same time demonized for not doing it in such a way that the US and Europe are the primary recipients of prosperity.

I hear pundits criticizing the Chinese government for not knowing how to stabilize the world economy, when their economic growth has outpaced every other nation for the last ten years!

And while the government is saddled with the job of stabilizing our current market wallops, the media picks and prods as though this is a singular effort.  Fox News, O’Reilly went so far as to scoff at the name of the President of China as though he and no one else should deem the name worthy of their memory…  What?  Childish bully tactics.  In addition, he grossly misstated a claim that all historical wars and conflicts between Japan and China were instigated by China and won by Japan.  Ouch!

We rely on China to bolster our economy, to give us cheap goods, to drive up oil prices for our benefit, to keep the dollar strong, and then drag them through the mud if they miss a step.

Why?

The truth of the history behind China and Japan is interesting. Similar to the Iran-Iraq war in which Iraq was the provocateur and yet Iran was labeled the evil empire, China has a similar history with Japan.

The first recorded conflict between Japan and China was in 663 AD in which Japan was the aggressor seeking to invade Korea and China. Japan was defeated roundly! The second large scale aggression was in the 16th century and again Japan was the aggressor seeking land and power. They invasion was successful initially given it’s surprise manipulation, but ultimately once again Japan was defeated.

The late 1800’s again saw Japan attempt to ignite war when it set its sights on capturing Korea and Taiwan. And in the 1930’s the Japanese invaded Manchuria. In was during this time period that the Japanese were involved in contentious war crimes including looting, rape, civilian massacres, and medical atrocities in which millions of Chinese civilians were murdered.

In 1938, the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor and became a part of WWII. Their treatment of prisoners of war was heinous, terrorizing and disgustingly brutal.

And yet, our memories are short and our media would have us believe that the tensions and wars between China and Japan were inflamed by the Chinese. Not so. The importance of the written word is sacrosanct. Without it, the carelessly false and deceit impregnated by the press might actually appear to be truth.

Certainly there are despicable stories regarding China’s history, US history, UK history, Spain’s history, Russian history, etc…, but altering history is a dangerous precedent. And while I have no desire whatsoever to become a citizen of Iran or China, relaying the truth is necessary to a global society wishing to evolve while holding to ethics, morality and intellect. Lying has no place in that past, present or future.

So if you are looking to China to save the world, I would suggest demonizing will not produce the desired results.

China vs US – While Nero Watched Rome Burned

Posted on by Helena

A new world order is being created, but it isn’t here. While the US, Canada and Europe squabble and promote division in every corner of the world, there is a quiet, under-reported affiliation that is taking root. China, Russia, India, Brazil and South Africa are forming an allegiance of cooperation and growth. While they may have tensions, they are attempting to rise above those age old embitterments and focus on something far more important – patriotic commitment.

What would happen if the US blew a giant hole in its relations with China?

As the second largest economy in the world, China is at the forefront in growing internal relations, trade, and a more diversified economic profile as oil has remained relatively flat. While the US continues it’s bizarre strategy of making unproven claims regarding a hack as being fomented by the Chinese government, and puffing their proverbial rooster chest at the South China Sea, the Chinese continue their strategy of the tortoise and the hare.

The BRICS do have power, and it is growing. Who are they opposing? NATO, UN, The World Bank and the IMF. These outdated, corrupted agencies are set to fall as a re-organization of power shifts.

NATO: China, Russia, Brazil, India and South Africa are not members of NATO.

UN: China and Russia have recently aligned in their stance within the UN. Their agenda? Sovereignty. The right of other countries to not have the will of the UN or other countries placed on them via regime change and/or orchestrated coup. Unfortunately, Samantha Power used that statement by Chinese Foreign Minister, Wang Yi, as a stage to tweet, “Too often govts use it (sovereignty)as a shield behind which they commit atrocities—WW2&Rwanda show peril of looking away.” In other words, Samantha Power arrogantly implied that Wang was lying and that the US is simply policing countries for their own good.

This does not make for a good allegiance with China and speaks volumes at the lacking integrity of Samantha Powers as a person in a position of power.  She has no clue what diplomacy means.

World Bank: The BRICS are slated to open their alternative to the World Bank this year – New Development Bank. The purpose is similar to the World Bank but with a redistribution of power to the founding members. The NDB comes on the heals of the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) which was also established by the BRICS. Despite scoffing by the US, the AIIB has pulled in 57 members including; Most of Europe, The Middle East, South America, Most of Asia, Australia, New Zealand, Indonesia, Vietnam, Pakistan and The Philippines. Three notable nations have refused – US, Canada and Japan.

By holding to ideologies that belong in antiquity, the US has managed to propel itself into a spiraling decay of power. A short sighted view, by not becoming a member nation, the US can now never hold the same member power in the AIIB even if it later decided to join.

IMF: The US, UK, Germany and France combined hold about 32% of all the votes in the IMF. Despite China’s attempts to gain greater voting power, ultimately, they felt snubbed. And as we speak, China is pressuring the IMF to recognize the yuan as an international currency on par with the dollar and euro.

While the US fallback is to demonize, the world is changing and the American public is left uninformed, puppets in the hands of the masters. Russia is and has been a diversion. The Middle East is in the midst of a re-organization proxy for the takeover by Saudi Arabia. Creating more demons than allies the US will be left with a bankrupt NATO, IMF, UN and World Bank. Focus on a demon and watch as the US slides down an economic hole from which there is no recovery.

Reading comments by Soros, his opinion varies nearly month to month. From a stance of arrogance, to a stance of China being the model world government, to warning of a China meltdown, to recommending joining China, to investing in Chinese stocks, to instigating protests in Hong Kong, to a stance of predicting WWIII. Ultimately, the US was always the greatest obstacle to Soros’ agenda for a One World Order.

While Nero watched, Rome burned.
