Sunday Talks, Zelenskyy Says Willing To Talk to Russian President Putin, but if Talks Fail It Would Mean World War III


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on March 20, 2022

Appearing on CNN, the official state broadcast network for the U.S. State Department, Ukranian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy told the DoS Public Relations spokesperson Fareed Zakaria that he is willing to sit down to negotiate with Russian President Vladimir Putin.  However, in the worldview of Zelenskyy, if those talks failed it would mean World War III.

That’s an odd statement by Zelenskyy considering that any WW-III triggering would need NATO and the U.S. to enter it.  Why would Zelenskyy speak on behalf of the United States and NATO unless he has received that message in advance?   If the U.S. and NATO have assured Zelenskyy they would directly engage in a war with Russia, wouldn’t that be something the citizens of those countries -especially us- would have to be consulted on?

Either: (1) the statement by Zelenskyy is undiplomatically presumptuous; or (2), he’s trying to drag us into his war; or (3), U.S. government officials speaking on our behalf have already made those assurances.  None of those scenarios are good.  WATCH:

(Via CNN) […] “I’m ready for negotiations with him. I was ready for the last two years. And I think that without negotiations we cannot end this war.  I think that we have to use any format, any chance in order to have a possibility of negotiating, possibility of talking to Putin. But if these attempts fail, that would mean that this is a third World War.” 

Adam Kinzinger Threatens U.S. Aid to Israel if They Do Not Support NATO War in Ukraine

Representative Adam Kinzinger has a message for Israel, threatening U.S. support if they do not get into line and support the NATO objectives in Ukraine: (Source)

Akin to: ‘Nice Jewish homeland you’ve got there Israel; it’d be a shame if something happened to it.’

Kinzinger will likely win increased support, as if he didn’t already have it, from the far-left progressive movement who hate Israel.  However, as people start awakening to the reality that the U.S and NATO alliance have now aligned themselves with the ultranationalist Nazi’s in Ukraine, there might be a modicum of pushback from the Orthodox Jewish community.

The pressure on Israel to support the Ukraine nationalists came first from President Volodymyr Zelenskyy:

Of course, this position directly aligns with the recent changes by Google, Facebook and Twitter to support the Nazi movement in Ukraine by promoting the actions of the Azov battalions now being armed by the U.S. and NATO.

The Reuter’s article notes: “Emails also showed that Meta would allow praise of the right-wing Azov battalion, which is normally prohibited, in a change first reported by The Intercept.  Meta spokesman Joe Osborne previously said the company was “for the time being, making a narrow exception for praise of the Azov Regiment strictly in the context of defending Ukraine, or in their role as part of the Ukraine National Guard.” (link)

March 10 (Reuters) – Meta Platforms (FB.O) will allow Facebook and Instagram users in some countries to call for violence against Russians and Russian soldiers in the context of the Ukraine invasion, according to internal emails seen by Reuters on Thursday, in a temporary change to its hate speech policy.

The social media company is also temporarily allowing some posts that call for death to Russian President Vladimir Putin or Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko in countries including Russia, Ukraine and Poland, according to internal emails to its content moderators.

“As a result of the Russian invasion of Ukraine we have temporarily made allowances for forms of political expression that would normally violate our rules like violent speech such as ‘death to the Russian invaders.’ We still won’t allow credible calls for violence against Russian civilians,” a Meta spokesperson said in a statement.

The calls for the leaders’ deaths will be allowed unless they contain other targets or have two indicators of credibility, such as the location or method, one email said, in a recent change to the company’s rules on violence and incitement.

The temporary policy changes on calls for violence to Russian soldiers apply to Armenia, Azerbaijan, Estonia, Georgia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Romania, Russia, Slovakia, and Ukraine, according to one email.

[…] “We are issuing a spirit-of-the-policy allowance to allow T1 violent speech that would otherwise be removed under the Hate Speech policy when: (a) targeting Russian soldiers, EXCEPT prisoners of war, or (b) targeting Russians where it’s clear that the context is the Russian invasion of Ukraine (e.g., content mentions the invasion, self-defense, etc.),” it said in the email.

The Battle in Mariupol Is Intense and Filled With Western Propaganda – Russian Military Fighting Ukrainian Azov Battalions and Ultranationalists in Eastern Region


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on March 20, 2022 

The picture in Eastern Ukraine is becoming clearer as the residents begin being able to talk openly about the key battleground in Mariupol.

Keep in mind, the western narrative about the battles in Eastern Ukraine are all framed around calling the Ukrainian military, spearheaded by the Azov battalions and the ultranationalists, as the good guys.  Nothing could be further from the truth.  According to increasingly obvious reports, coming from ordinary citizens in/around Mariupol, the Ukrainian army has been using them as human shields and keeping them from evacuating.

There is a lot of war fog surrounding the conflict, however, it is the absence of any pro-Ukraine army sentiment from the local residents that supports the evidence the Ukraine military (Azov Nazi battalion, supported by U.S. and NATO alliance) are actually the bad guys in this region.  The eastern region conflict has been ongoing for years, with Russia supporting the residents and the Ukraine military attacking them.

The Russian army has been fighting the Ukraine military in/around Mariupol while the Azov battalions have kept the citizens captive.  However, the Russians are now surrounding the Ukraine military and slowly clearing each of the surrounding villages allowing the formerly captive people to leave or seek safety.

At least in this part of the conflict, the U.S. and NATO alliance is supporting the brutality against Eastern Ukrainian citizens by supporting the Nazi factions of the Ukraine military.   There is a genocide happening in this region, but it is the Ukraine military, the far-right ultranationalists in the Azov battalions and others doing the killing, not the Russians.

If the residents in Eastern Ukraine do not align with the ultranationalist factions of the Ukraine military and fight the Russians, they are subjected to gross human rights abuses, beatings and threats against their families.  Western nations are supporting this activity and deploying extreme propaganda messaging to cover it up.

There are no pro-Ukraine military stories from the residents in this region of the conflict.  All of the residents in the Eastern Ukraine region, including the city of Mariupol, are saying the Russian military are the liberators of the region.  A Telegram Channel is documenting the evidence – SEE HERE.

Against the reality of that situation in Mariupol, President Zelenskyy, NATO and the western media are promoting a narrative that runs completely counter to what little truth is able to escape from the area.

Within the western propaganda, the Russians are reported to have “taken captives,” with a propaganda spin of Russia setting up concentration camps for the citizens in/around Mariupol.

(MSM) […] Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said the siege of Mariupol would go down in history for what he described as war crimes committed by Russian troops and raised the specter of a “third world war” if negotiations with Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin fail.

“To do this to a peaceful city, what the occupiers did, is a terror that will be remembered for centuries to come,” Zelenskyy said in a video address to his nation Sunday.

 Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said Russia is killing citizens in Ukraine because its invasion has stalled, describing the tactic as “disgusting.”

“We’ve seen deliberate targeting of cities and towns and civilians throughout the last several weeks,” Austin said on CBS’ “Face The Nation.” (read more)

The propaganda out of the Mariupol battlespace is extreme.

As the Ukrainian military (Azov etc) take up positions in schools and public buildings, any Russian attack against those troops is then called an attack against civilians.  There is zero evidence of that taking place; exactly the opposite is true.  The Ukraine forces in this region are using the citizens as shields and cannon fodder against the Russian forces.

Despite the propaganda, truth is coming out in the form of evidence from the ordinary citizens in the area (SOURCE):

Again, when you are trying to find the truth, the voices on the ground are the most likely source of actual information.  In the example of the area in/around Mariupol, the people who live there are pointing out that the Ukraine military, paramilitary enforcers, and ultranationalists are the terrorists.  The Russians are viewed as the liberators.

Despite how the media is portraying this, there is ZERO evidence from the citizens in/around the area to support the western narrative.  That tells us the locals are up against the totality of western propaganda.

For emphasis…. IN THIS REGION:

♦The anti-Russia stories are all from corporate media, none from citizens.  The anti-Ukraine army stories are all from citizens, none from corporate media.

♦The pro-Ukraine army stories are all from western media, none from citizens.  The pro-Russian army stories are all from citizens, none from western media.  You decide.

Joe Biden’s press secretary was questioned today about the Biden family’s well documented dealing with Russian Billionaires, Ukraine officials and Hunter Biden’s deals with China.

The specific question was asking how the White House handles the conflicts of interest when engaging with policy decisions over Russia, Ukraine and China.  White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki nervously attempted to avoid the questions, but her responses shouted guilt. WATCH:

Japan has made the very same mistake just the following orders from Washington about seizing Russian assets. The Japanese government is freezing the assets of 17 more Russian politicians tycoons, and their relatives to step up sanctions and pressure Moscow to end its invasion of Ukraine. Russia froze, in turn, a list of US politicians which interestingly included Hillary Clinton because she was behind the whole 2000 attempt to blackmail Yeltsin which the American Press will never report no less investigate

Meanwhile, things are heating now around Taiwan as the US has for the first time in several years, sent an American aircraft carrier just outside China’s maritime waters demonstrating its’s read to launch World War III. China’s military leadership has put the country’s Armed Forces on alert for 12 days while they have now ordered the largest airborne and amphibious landing exercise in their military history.

China is moving rapidly to circumvent not just the SWIFT clearing system, but also to establish the Yuan as the next coming leading currency. The Euro has failed and China is negotiating even the purchase of oil from Saudi Arabia denominated in Yuan. The arrogance of the Neocons in really running the country has become well known outside the USA. They think they really can defeat both China and Russia and then Build Back Better with w new Bretton Woods. All I can say is they are seriously wrong and they will only create World War III, they will lose, and the financial capital of the world will shift to China. That has been the forecast of our computer for decades now and instead of listening, they try to defeat it.

The Chinese economy will peak in 2036 but the West in 2032. We are in the last three waves and 2023 does not look good around the world.

Russia, India Exploring New Trade Payment Channels in Aftermath of Sanctions


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on March 15, 2022

The BRICS trade and economic partnership group is made up of Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa {GO DEEP}.  The alliance was originated in part to explore alternatives to the dollar as a global trade currency.  They discussed several options in their prior meetings long before Russia took action into Ukraine.

With western sanctions against Russia now in place, there are increasing reports that China and India have developed alternatives.  This is one such example:

(Via LiveMint) – Russia, many of whose banks have been cut off from the Swift financial network, is exploring opening alternative payment channels with India, including linking Unified Payments Interface (UPI) with the Faster Payments System (FPS) of the Bank of Russia, to continue cross-border trade.

According to Dmitry A. Solodov, a spokesperson for the Russian embassy in New Delhi, his government has also asked Indian lenders to connect to the financial messaging system of the Bank of Russia to facilitate interbank transactions. In addition, the two sides are discussing accepting RuPay and MIR Cards within national payment infrastructures, Solodov said in an emailed statement.

“All these options are on the table and are being discussed by the two governments, the Reserve Bank of India and the Bank of Russia,” said a senior Indian government official, requesting anonymity. (read more)

The Coming WWIII


Armstrong Economics Blog/War re-Posted Mar 7, 2022 by Martin Armstrong

While people rush to kiss the feet of Zelensky, even some Ukrainians are now concerned that he is a puppet dragging their country to destruction all over Donbas. I have warned that this is going to turn into WWIII. China has now come out and warned the USA against trying to build what it called a Pacific version of NATO while declaring that security disputes over Taiwan and Ukraine were “not comparable at all.” They too are logging the same complaints against the US as Putin for creating biological weapons labs on their borders as well.

There are serious allegations that this is all being carried out to try to force Russia and China into the Great Reset and to comply with the United Nations’ mandates for climate change. It is hard to say whether these allegations are true or false. As always, time reveals the truth. But the WEF, which had claimed that Putin was a Young Global Leader, rejected that and shifted to supporting Zelensky also pushing for a continued war that Ukraine cannot win unless it gets so bad that they use this to justify NATO entering Ukraine.

My concern is that their mistake is they think they can take down Russia and then turn to China. Our model warns that that will be a fatal mistake, and China will join Russia.

How We are Being Taken Over by China


By David Pristash written on February 2, 2022

Background

Mao Zedong after taking complete control of China in 1949 developed a plan to achieve world dominance in 100 years by taking out the United States. The plan was based on Sun Tzu’s The Art of War which is now known in the west as The Hundred Year Marathon. Then when Xi Jinping took office in 2013, he embraced Mao’s plan and thought he could be the one to complete it by 2049 at or before the 100 year point. Today that looks to be very realistic as the United States is in bed with Klaus Schwab in Europe and following Schwab’s The Great Reset and his Build Back Better plan, which is now, intentionally, bringing down all of Western civilization.

In 2015, Michael Pillsbury published a book titled appropriately The Hundred Year Marathon China’s Secret Strategy to Replace America as the Global Superpower. In addition Martin Armstrong, who has develop an AI  program, that he named Socrates, to monitor the Global monetary system and that program predicts that Western Civilization will begin to collapse in 2039 and that sometime after 2043 China will become the dominate world power. Armstrong has a public blog ArmstongEconomics.com and a private website Socrates.com where you can look at the Socrates’ projections of Global cash flows and markets if you are a member. The date that Socrates predicts for the end of Western Civilization has not wavered in the 8 or 10 years I have been following him.

But these are not the only two that have made predictions describing the current problems that we are having socially and politically. Patrick M. Wood with his book Technocracy Rising the Trojan Horse of Global Transformation also published in 2015 has described a movement, Technocracy, started in the United States before the 1929 market crash, but then moved after WW II into a worldwide system much like Marxism. Much of what is in his book is a good fit to what is going on today. The last book I use to support my theory is The Fourth Turing, What the Cycles of History Tell Us About America’s Next Rendezvous with Destiny by William Strauss and Neil Howe published in 1997. The book describes their theory of a repeating cycle of societies’ moods which repeats in an 80 year +/- cycle. The cycle is made up of 4 20 year +/- generations each playing a similar role in a repeating pattern. We are in the last generation of the current cycle that always ends up in a major war (Russia?). By the book, this matches what we are experiencing today not so much from the “exact” timing but from the change in society that we are experiencing. However, it is still very close to Armstrong’s Socrates.

Others have also come up with similar theories of repeating social cycles, going back to the Roman Empire but this writing is about the period from now to midcentury which can easily be predicted from what China clearly wants and what Biden clearly wants to give them. Also, both Pillsbury and Armstrong are very credible men and in my opinion should be believed without question. Wood’s and Strauss & Howe give additional supporting material to the above patterns and they are also very credible.   

Over the past several decades, my curiosity in history and moral Philosophy got me reading everything I could get my hands on (many hundred books) and this background of reading, merged with my previous academic, my military training, and management experience allowed me to start seeing things fall into place about eighteen or so years ago. The only missing element was who was driving this fundamental change to the country. Was it Obama, Soros, Gates, Schwab, or someone else? Although I had ideas two events gave the answer, and it was not what I expected. The first was the revelation about Hunter Biden’s laptop in September 2020 and the second was the withdrawal from Afghanistan starting in April 2022.

 Analysis

Number one, Hunter’s laptop gave us a look at the amount of money that Hunter was bringing into the Biden family from contracts mostly outside the country. But the worst of them were the very large investments between the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and corporations set up in the US with Biden’s son as the controlling person. Although they were of dubious character, the major problem was Biden was running for the office of the President of the country. With over a Billion dollars transferred from the CCP to the Biden family to run, it would give the appearance that the CCP would have a hold on Joe Biden if he were elected; especially since this was kept very quiet during the campaign.

Worse, since some of the funds transferred to the US were being used to acquire assets, companies, and then transferring them or their technology to China it’s no wonder the media kept this out of the news. Hillary Clinton also did this when she was The Secretary of State when she allowed Russia to acquire a large portion of our Uranium resources. On the surface, this was a disqualifier for Joe Biden holding the office of the President of the United States by Article 1, Section 9, Paragraph 8 of the US Constitution known, in general, as the Emoluments Clause. That section contains words that limit various things that might compromise the President if he accepted them from a foreign power. Since that acceptance would give that foreign power control over the President especially if it was unknown either before or after an election.  

Number Two. The withdraw from Afghanistan by Joe Biden was a humiliating event for the Country, and it was approved by the countries President and the Joint Chiefs of Staff. After one year enlisted and 3 years as an officer I can’t understand how this group of idiots, and I’m being kind, could have achieved this debacle. I didn’t know anyone above the rank of E5 that could have bungled this that badly. If the joint Chiefs didn’t understand, what was going to happen then I don’t understand how they got to be Generals or Flag officers. So one can only assume that they did know, and were then over ruled by the white house. I would like to believe this but then, if that was true they should have all resigned their commissions. That would have at least saved the honor of the US Military. As it was, we lost the world wide respect of both. No real general would ever have done what they did.

So since this was such a bizarre event — who was calling the shots? It couldn’t have been anyone in the Whitehouse, Congress, the Department of Defense, or the State Department; as this debacle made everyone look really bad. So the only reasonable answer is it was someone outside the U.S. government.

Therefore, using the principle of Occam’s razor there is only one Country in the entire world that made out from what Biden did and that is China. Further since China has a hold on President Biden (tons of money to his family) Biden would have to do what Xi Jinping wanted him to do. I’m sorry to say but it’s the only reasonable explanation.

In support of this theory that China, Xi Jinping, controls the Whitehouse, we also know that both Nance Pelosi and Mitch Mc Connell are married and their spouses have financial connections to the CCP, I suspect others do as well but I do not have proof of that except for Dianne Feinstein Chairman Senate Select committee on Intelligence and Congressman Eric Swalwell who is on the House Intelligence committee.    

Discussion of the Proof

The premise is that Xi Jinping is in control of Joe Biden (Money to his family) and in addition controls Nancy Pelosi and Eric Swalwell in the House and at minimum Mitch McConnell and Dianne Feinstein in the Senate. There are probably others but I have no knowledge of that at this time. These four compromised politicians represent four of the eight members of the Gang of eight  and I would bet several more are in the pocket of Xi Jinping; giving him defacto control of the US Government. However, there is a very long list, shown later, of former representatives and Senators along with Department heads that are involved with giving China special access to America.

Fact Xi Jinping is following the basic principles in the Art of war in particular these four of the 13 Chapters in the book.

Chapter I laying Assessment and planning

 Chapter III Strategic Attack

Chapter VI Weaknesses and strengths

Chapter XIII Intelligence and espionage

This summery is my view of the China Verse America Strategy that China is following today. Look back 32 years ago to the Clinton election with the way they got money for example, illegal money bundling from Chinese sources. And then later we have the transfer of technology to them as well. So we have known facts, that are consistent with the theory I propose here in this paper; and consistent with the information found in Michael Pillsbury’s book. Therefor this is a reasonably theory to look at.

From Chapter I in The Art of War Assessment and planning: In the 1950’s after taking over China Mao knew what he wanted, which was to take control of the entire world? He also had two adversaries the U.S.S.R., now Russia, and the United States. The strategy that developed was to get the United States focused on the U.S.S.R. From the Art of War get you enemies to fight each other so they are weakened.

From Chapter I in The Art of War Assessment and planning: Get the U.S.S.R. to help modernize China especially to get nuclear power; and build up their military.

From Chapter I in The Art of War Assessment and planning: Get the United States to focus on U.S.S.R. not China so they could build their infrastructure.

Chapter III in The Art of War Strategic Attack: Consolidate internal power Mongolia and Tibet. Learn how to fight the United States in Korea.

Chapter VI in The Art of War Weaknesses and strengths: China was in a very weak position via both the U.S.S.R. and the United States. They needed time and a plan to eliminate this disadvantage.

Chapter XIII in The Art of War Intelligence and espionage: Let the U.S.S.R. take the lead in dealing with the Americans. While China, would study the Americans, and see where all their weaknesses were. While at the same time, promoting how weak and helpless China was.

The result of this strategy of China was a total misunderstanding of the goals of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) by the American political class with drastic consequences for the United States. The process started in earnest in 1971 when President Nixon opened up relations with China; after an overture from China. Our government was focused on the U.S.S.R. so they saw this as an opportunity to break up the relationship between the U.S.S.R. and China. This was of course a diversion. Whether China knew that, the U.S.S.R. would dissolve on December 25, 1991from the competition between the United States and the U.S.S.R. or not they certainly got the message that pure Marxism didn’t work.   

But that was yet in the future so, after the Vietnam War was over The United States policy toward China was continued support, thinking that they really wanted to be friends with us and join the world community. Two movements in the United States supported this view. The first was that a great number of the Boomer generation (born between 1942 and 1962) had turned to Marxism to avoid going to Vietnam. The Weather Underground was one of the most active even publishing a manifesto about the goals for the United States after they took over. This book was call Prairie Fire The politics of Revolutionary Anti-Imperialism published in 1974. Much of what is in the book is now being implemented in the United States today. The American communists also published a new “draft” Constitution for the New Socialist Republic in North America in 2010 probably still some of the same people. Now this was a real insurrection.

Whether this is fact or not money had to be flowing into these groups. Undoubtedly, some came for the U.S.S.R. but I suspect some came in from China as well. During that period I was the Deputy Post G2 at Ft Campbell during the beginning of this movement and saw in Top Secret classified material what was going on with the demonstrations and assorted criminal acts that were going on. I didn’t appreciate the implications back then to what I was reading about, as that Intel meant those groups were penetrated by the FBI.

As the radical cohort of the Boomers aged, they finished university and started working but never gave up their views of Marxism. Those that went into teaching gave us today, critical theory, and Critical Race theory. Critical Theory comes from Marxism first proposed by Max Horkheimer from the Frankfurt School in Germany which moved out of Germany after 19933 when Hitler took over first to Geneva and from there it moved to New Your City and Columbia University in 1935.

Those that went into politics are now running congress and are bringing us The Great Reset and Build Back Better from Klaus Schwab which was developed in his World Economics Form (WEF). The principle is to force a total economic collapse of Western Civilization including world trade so that those who believe in this idea could then it Build it Back Better.

What most don’t understand is that doesn’t mean back to the political system that we had before COVID-19. What they are planning is a system almost exactly like the one in China today. The only difference will be instead of the CCP it will be the PDP (Progressive Democrat Party), everything you do or say will be recorded, and you will be given a score like a credit score only this will be a social score meaning how good you are at following what they want you to do. The system was already developed by the tech giants and is in use, right now, in China. Your smart phone on which you do everything is the source of their knowledge about everything you do e.g. all places you go, all your social media activity, all your pictures, all your emails, all your conversations, all your texts, everything you buy, every dollar you earn and all the web searches you have made. Further, they will have all your school and work records and all your medical records since everything is now on line. This data collection is the main reason for 5 G.

From The Hindered-Year Marathon

Pillsbury in his book describes how by the complexity of the Chinese language they were able to get the Americans to believe one view while they actually meant another. This is coming from a person that was fluent in Mandurian and all of its subtleties. In his first chapter, he explains the processes that lead the Americans to believe that China would become a democratic country after they caught up to the western countries. This was official US policy until Trump stopped it. And now Biden has put the focus back on Russia, not China. Why the focus on Russia which is a shell of itself verses China which has now surpassed us in just about every aspect and is now expanding while we contract.

Back in 2012 on November 30th, an event occurred on the National Mall in the District of Columbia (DC). You can read about what happened in the books first chapter, titled Wishful Thinking; it was a turning point that woke Pillsbury to up to what China was really doing, hence his book. What follows next are short summaries of Pillsbury’s five false assumptions that US policy was based on and which have lead us to where we are today.

False assumption #1: Engagement brings complete cooperation

For four decades, my colleagues and I believed that “engagement” with the Chinese would induce China to cooperate with the West on a range of policy problems. It Hasn’t. Trade and technology were superposed to lead to a convergence of Chinse and Western views on questions of regional and global order. They haven’t. In short, China has failed to meet nearly all of our rosy expectations.

False assumption #2: China is on the road to Democracy

China has certainly changed in the past thirty years, but its political system has not evolved in the ways that we advocates of engagement had hoped and predicted. A growing minority of China experts is beginning to appreciate this. Aaron Friedberg of Princeton University has observed that instead of being on the verge of extinction the Chinese Communist Party may survive for decades.

False assumption #3: China, The Fragile Flower

In 1996, I was part of a US delegation to China that included Robert Ellsworth, the top foreign policy advisor to the Republican presidential nominee, Robert Dole. Shrewdly playing to the possibility that Dole might win the presidential election and Tap Ellsworth as secretary of state, the Chinese offered us what appeared to be an unpresented look at their countries inner workings and problems. …. In what appeared to be a forthright exchange of views with Chinese scholars, we were told that China was in serious economic and political peril – and that the potential collapse loomed large. …. I later learned that the Chinese were escorting other groups of American academics, business leaders, and policy experts on these purportedly “exclusive” visits, where they too received an identical message about China’s coming Decline.

False assumption #4: China Wants to be – And is — Just like us

In our hubris, American love to believe that the aspiration of every other country is to be just like the United States. In recent years, this has governed our approach to Iraq and Afghanistan. We cling to the same mentality with China.

In the 1940s, an effort was funded by the U.S. government to understand the Chinese mind-set. This culminated in several studies including one in which 150 Chinese emigrants in New York’s Chinatown were shown Rorschach ink block cards. The researchers, who included the scholars Nathan Leites, Ruth Benedict, and Margaret Mead, also analyzed the themes of popular Chinese books and films. One conclusion that emerged was that the Chinese did not view strategy the same way that Americans did. Whereas Americans tended to favor direct action, those of Chinese ethnic origin were found to favor indirect over direct, ambiguity, and deception over clarity and transparency. Another conclusion was that Chinese literature and writings on strategy prized deception. 

False assumption #5: China’s Hawks are Weak  

In the late 1990s, during the Clinton administration, I was tasked by the Department of Defense and the CIA to conduct an unprecedented examination of China’s capacity to deceive the United States and its actions to date along those lines. Relying on intelligence assets, unpublished documents, interviews with Chinese dissidents, and scholars, and Chinese writings that I read in the original Mandarin script, I began to see the secrets that the Chinese had been hiding — in plain sight – from people like me.

As I assembled clues contradicting the conventional narrative about China that I had always believed, I starting connecting the pieces of an alternative narrative of roughly the past four decades. Over time, I discovered proposals by Chinese hawks (yig pai) to the Chinese leadership to mislead and manipulate American policymakers to obtain intelligence and military technological and economic assistance. I learned that these hawks had been advising Chinese leaders, beginning with Mao Zedong to avenge a century of humiliation and aspired to replace the United States as the economic, military, and political leader of the world by the year 2049 (the one hundredth anniversary of the Communist Revolution). This plan became known as “The Hindered-Year marathon.” It is a plan that that has been implemented by the Communist Party leadership from the beginning of its relationship with the United States. The goal is to avenge of “wipe Clean” (xi xue) past foreign humiliations. Then China will set up a world order that will be fair to China, a world without American global supremacy, and revise the U.S.-dominated economic and geopolitical word order founded at Bretton Woods and San Francisco at the end of World War II. The hawks assess that China can only succeed in this project through deception, or at least by denial of any frightening plan.

Pillsbury’s book is a must read if you are to understand how America was out maneuvered by the Chinese; such by the time of this writing there is little to no chance of saving the Republic in its originally form as a Republic with limited federal powers over the citizens. We now leave Pillsbury and move to other sources. The next step of China taking over the world was their joining the rest of the worlds trading partners. What follows is taken from Government Archives.

China Joins the World Trade Organization (WTO)

In July of 1986, China applied for admission to the WTO’s predecessor, the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT). The GATT formed a Working Party in March of 1987, composed of all interested GATT contracting parties, to examine China’s application and negotiate terms for China’s accession. For the next eight years, negotiations were conducted under the auspices of the GATT Working Party. Following the formation of the WTO on January 1, 1995, a successor WTO Working Party, composed of all interested WTO members, took over the negotiations.

World Trade Organization (WTO) members formally approved an agreement on the terms of accession for the People’s Republic of China (China) on November 10, 2001 at the WTO Ministerial Conference in Doha, Qatar. One day later, China signed the agreement and deposited its instrument of ratification with the Director-General of the WTO. China became the 143rd member of the WTO on December 11, 2001.

From 1986 until 2001, a period of fifteen years the CCP negotiated with the various Western countries on how they would guarantee that they would work to become an open free market society. Virtually none of the promises were ever fulfilled; and in fact, quite the opposite accrued as China became a predator steeling technology, manipulating currencies and setting up trade agreements that allowed business to set up operations in China in a minority ownership position (less than 50%) while demanding that the interested company transferred all their technology to these new plants (possession is nine tenth of the law). What are you going to do if the Chinese nationalize everything?

Sensing that money could be made stating in the early 1980’s, firms like McKenzie & company were promoting Globalization a process of recommending downsizing and/or breaking up large American companies though hostile takeovers and much of that production end up in in third world countries and then after China got in the WTO, to China as well. During this period though 2008 it was very difficult to start a manufacturing company in the United States. I know this from personal experience when I was trying to start a company in North East Ohio in 2006 and I was told by local politicians go to China. Blue collar jobs were not wanted we were told all the future jobs would be white collar in service related companies.   

This process was not the only one promoting this new idea of Globalization. From the book Technocracy Rising written by Patrick M. Wood we find that in the 1960s and eary1970s that the Technocratic movement found purchase in politics during the Nixon administration when they formed the Trilateral Commission and infiltrated the The Council on Foreign Relations. From then on until Trump, every President had been a member of the Trilateral Commission. Now keep this in mind — the original members of the Technocratic movement believed that only scientists and engineers were qualified to run the world. So why were they promoting politicians to high offices? The only answer to that was, they apparently thought, those people they promoted could be controlled by them.

Patrick Wood goes into detail in his book about the importance of the Trilateral Commission proposed by David Rockefeller and Zbigniew Brzezinski at a Bilderberg group meeting in 1972. The next year it was formally created by three groups; Europe, Japan, and North America with equal representation from each. The focus was on a “New International Economic order” later referred to as a “New World Order” by George H Bush a Commission member. Virtually all new important political positions came from members of this club.

The Commission also seemed to take over the Council on Foreign Relations, which was formed in 1921, sometime after being formed as 40% of the Council’s board are also members of the Commission. So the two worked closely together but the Commission has the lead.

NAFTA and The North American Union are both ideas that came from this cabal. Along with the European Union (EU); and last but not least was the UN Conference on Environment and Development held in Rio Bazile in 1992 which gave us Agenda 21.

The Trilateral Commission wanted North America to form an EU like governing body the North American Union (NAU) and then merger both into the UN for a One World Government. The NAU would consist of America, Canada, Mexico, and Central America.

The Green environmental Marxist just wanted to turn America into a Marxist state using climate change as the reason.

The WEF and Klaus Schwab want to turn the EU and America, Canada and Mexico into a Marxist style union and then go to war against Russia and China.

The Chinese just what to take over the entire world so I would guess they are playing every one and will probably win. Armstrong agrees and says that it is because the Chinese believe in cycles while those in the West projects things in straight lines. His AL finds repeating cycles much like what is described in the book the Fourth Turning that supports that a major change is coming.

The one thing that is interesting, is that all these groups trying to destroy America: China, The trilateral Commission Fascist?), the Green movement (Marxists) and the World Economic Forum (WEF) also Marxists. How much China was involved here is probably unknown but I can’t see them not taking advantage of all of this power grabbing and reinventing everything to make it better. Everything was actually pretty good until they started to mess with everything.

Alexander Haig served as Honorary Senior advisor to China Ocean Shipping Company Coso

Madeline Albright Secretary of State and was instrumental in getting China into the WTO. Albright also set up a consulting company Albright Stonebridge Group (ASG) mostly promoting China.

Linda Thomas-Greenfield formally from the ASG was appointed by Biden U.S ambassador to the UN  

William Cohn formally a congressman, a Senator, then Secretary of Defense formed a consulting business the Cohen Group again mostly dealing with China. Generals James Mattis and Joseph Ralston now work for the group.

Condoleezza Rice appointed by George W. Bush as Secretary of State after leaving formed a consulting group Rice, Hadley, Gates, and Manuel (RHGM) Hadley was a former National Security Advisory, Gates was a form Secretary of Defense, and Manuel was formally in the state department. RHGM is connected to RWC both firms are involved in China.

Gary Locke the son of Chinese immigrants and after being the Governor of the State of Washington he joined a law firm dealing with China lobbing for them. He initially became Commerce Secretary under Obama and then ambassador to Beijing. Locke is now involved with high level Chinese companies and apparently advocating for them.

Former Senator Max Baucus and supporter of trade with China was picked by Obama to be Ambassador to China probably because of his close relations with the Chinese. After leaving that position, he formed a consulting company called the Baucus Group. He was also a supporter of the Confucius Institute set up on the campus of the University of Montana. During the COVID debacle, Baucus defended China against President Trump very vocally.

Trump appointed Terry Branstad as ambassador to China, he was once Governor of Iowa, and because of the farm trade, he knew Xi Jinping. Because of Trumps, focus on unequal trade with China It was apparently a conciliatory signal to Beijing. Interestingly Branstad con Marcus was a registered lobbyist for the American Chemistry Council (ACC) who opposed Trumps policies. Another son of Branstad, Eric, worked for the Trump campaign in Iowa and traveled with trump to China. Eric worked for a lobbying firm Mercury that represented the Chinese telecom ZTE, (at $75,000 per month) who was involved with the US Commerce Department. Eric claimed he did not interfere in the negotiations but after the trip, the US Commerce dept. claimed they had come to terms with ZTE.

Chinese Confucius Institutes located at U.S. Universities

Since 2004, the Chinese government has sponsored Confucius Institutes on college and university campuses around the world, providing teachers, textbooks, and operating funds. Until recently, an agency of the Chinese Ministry of Education, the Hanban, oversaw Confucius Institutes. In the wake of widespread criticism, the Chinese government has reorganized Confucius Institutes under a new organization, the Chinese International Education Foundation.

The Confucius Institutes were nothing more than propaganda centers promoting Chinese values as being superior to those in Western Civilization. In 2017, the National Association of scholars (NAS) released a comprehensive report on the way the Chinese government infiltrates American colleges and universities to enhance their own image. At that time, the NAS counted 103 Confucius Institutes in the United States. The NAS as of January 2022 has got that count down to 24. The National Association of Scholars website is nas.org and there is good information there.

This was just another way the China is attempting to destroy the United States from within. That have also, taken over the National Basketball Association (NBA) as the league got involved in playing games in china and their income from China probably tops that from the United States now. Therefore, the league will not to anything to upset the CCP. If the NBA does not change their ways they will lose their U.S. market, but then maybe they just don’t care.

Conclusion

It’s clear that Chinas involvement in the U.S. is extensive and comprehensive leaving no stone unturned. They have almost full control of the American government, from the President to the gang of eight and into the Senate and the House. There are also a host of retired Senators and Representatives now lobbing on behalf of China. China was involved with the Democrats with manipulating the 2020 election with the no controls “mail in voting” and the web connection to China that was involved in changing the votes in the voting machines.

Then on January 6, 2022 Pelosi and McConnell arranged the breach of the Congress using the FBI or their surrogates to trick some of the demonstrators into walking into the congress while some of the FBI operators brook some windows in another area. However, since there were, no weapons involved how could it be an insurrection?

Definition of Insurrection from the Cambridge Dictionary: an organized attempt by a group of people to defeat their government and take control of their country, usually by violence:

A group of unorganized protestors most of whom just walked in look around and left none of which had any weapons and the only victims were two protestors that were killed by the Capital police this hardly meets this definition. Hey, I was a trained Green Beret and some of our training was on how to take over a government. No one in Special Operations would ever have planned an insurrection that looked like this.  

Oh, and keep in mind that Trump wanted the National Guard there, just in case, but Pelosi nixed it and they gave a lot of Capital Police time off.

Since China had every reason to want Trump out, and Xi Jinping had leverage on Pelosi and McConnell and they were all involved in the 2020 election vote changes, China was likely a part of this fake insurrection. In addition, we have Bill Gates and Anthony Fauci supplying the COVID-19 so they could shut down the country and weaken the U.S; to make us ready for a takeover.

As a former Army infantry Officer who took the Officers oath, I have a moral obligation to defend the U.S. Constitution. Apparently, the current General staff has forgotten that oath, or we wouldn’t be where we are today.

Surgeon General Asks Social Media Companies for Target List of COVID Skeptics and Influencers


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on March 5, 2022 | sundance

Dr. Vivek H. Murthy, Vice Admiral, U.S. Public Health Service Surgeon General of the United States, is married to a woman named Dr. Alice Tu Chen.  If you look into the past of the surgeon general’s wife, you will discover Alice Chen is essentially a ghost – from the perspective of: who were her parents, where is her family?  The lack of early childhood, parental and familial history is a key characteristic of CCP plants in the U.S.

When the U.S. Dept of Justice recently announced they were dropping the Chinese spy initiative, a program to review how CCP officials had been working for years to seed the U.S. with Chinese operatives, indications are the DOJ motive was connected to serious internal discoveries surrounding the wife of the U.S. Surgeon General, Alice Chen. I do not say this lightly.

Unfortunately, a tangential outcome from eliminating the FBI “China Initiative’, is recognizing we now have a completely compromised U.S. Surgeon General who is a controlled mechanism for the Fourth Branch of Government to leverage.  This is the background context for this story.

Amid recent revelations surrounding the purposeful use of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic by government entities for political gains, which includes the structural control of social society vis-a-vis digital ID’s or COVID passports, The New York Times is now reporting the U.S. Surgeon General wants a list of people, groups and entities who were spreading “misinformation” about the COVID-19 vaccinations.

(NYT) President Biden’s surgeon general on Thursday formally requested that the major tech platforms submit information about the scale of Covid-19 misinformation on social networks, search engines, crowdsourced platforms, e-commerce platforms and instant messaging systems.

The surgeon general, Dr. Vivek Murthy, also demanded information from the platforms about the major sources of Covid-19 misinformation, including those that engaged in the sale of unproven Covid-19 products, services and treatments. (more)

Knowing what we know about the extent of the government activity, influence and manipulation in the vaccination process, we should likely view this story through the prism of government now managing their risk exposure.  [HHS notification Here] – [Federal Register Notification Here]

In July of 2021, Murthy previously targeted social media platform providers and gave them specific instructions to remove any content that was critical of the COVID-19 vaccination program. {Go Deep} We said at the time, “The government push to promote vaccinations for COVID-19 has gone well beyond reasonable advancement for the public health.  Now, we are entering a phase where the ongoing demand is becoming problematic, propaganda.  More government advocates are pushing toward mandatory vaccinations for a virus that has 99.9% survival rate. If you stand back – the scale of the demand far exceeds the known risk from the virus itself…. things just don’t add up.”

By the time we get to November of 2021, Murthy was pushing the children vaccination hard.

In July of last year, the Surgeon General asked Big Tech platform providers to remove content and censor anyone who would question the emergency use vaccine in adults.  His office put out a 22-page advisory [pdf HERE] in an effort to combat what he called “misinformation” about vaccines.  Now, in November 2021, Murthy is using that same approach to enhance his efforts toward childhood vaccines.  There is something creepy about the scale of the effort. {Go Deep}

Back to them now evaluating their risk exposure:

[…] The request for information is part of President Biden’s Covid National Preparedness Plan, which the White House detailed on Wednesday and which is a road map for a new stage of the pandemic where Covid-19 causes “minimal disruption,” according to the White House. Mr. Biden first revealed details of the plan during his State of the Union address Tuesday night.

In addition to demanding misinformation data from the tech platforms, the surgeon general called on health care providers and the public to submit information about how Covid-19 misinformation has negatively influenced patients and communities.

This is how you throw a bag over it.

First govt determines what adverse information exists (risk).

Then govt determines where the adverse information exists (target).

Then govt defends itself by labeling the adverse information process

Belarus Votes to Change Constitution & Deploy Nuclear Weapons


Armstrong Economics Blog/War Re-Posted Feb 28, 2022 by Martin Armstrong

I do not know what to say anymore. Biden is mentally incompetent to lead the world no less the United States. He could not find a lifejacket on a sinking ship. Belarus has now voted to change its constitution and deploy nuclear weapons. China entered a new arrangement with North Korea and they shot off a missile test today.

Some emails have come in saying my posts that we are opening the door to World War III was an exaggeration, I am sorry if my sources are real and I do not engage in hyperbole. This Western Press is so incompetent and it is so up the Democrats’ ass, they will never see what they are doing is fanning the flames of war.

I am sorry, but our computer is NOT biased. It looks at all the world markets far beyond what any individual could possibly do. It takes all the data on everything from politics, wars, unrests, disease, and it comes out with forecasts that have been spot on. I do not even sell advertising on this site. It is totally free, nobody has to even register to read it, and it is a public service so I have no conflicts of interest in stating the forecasts as they are.

The year 2023 is off the charts! We even have Panic Cycles in gold. Our Directional Change in Crude Oil picked the change in trend in 2021 and the volatility was to begin this year and it builds into a Panic Cycle Year in 2025.

I am deeply concerned that we have the worst possible crop of world leaders perhaps in history. They should not even be allowed to hold a pair of scissors and talk at the same time. They are leading the world into very dark days. Even Germany has politically lost its mind. Foreign Secretary Liz Truss of Germany, who is a British politician serving as Foreign Secretary of Germany since 2021 and Minister for Women and Equalities since 2019 with no geopolitical experience whatsoever, told parliament. “They have falsely cast Ukraine as a threat to justify their aggressive stance.” “Russia is the aggressor here.” Making Truss Foreign Secretary simply because she is a woman is nuts. Now they are putting Jennifer Morgan, the head of Greenpeace, as the Secretary of State. These are the people to confront Putin? Even Biden is appoint a black woman to the Supreme Court, not because she is qualified, only because she is black and a woman. The West is insane. People are appointed not for qualification, but for a dog and pony show.

In Ukraine, we have a comedian who is handing out AK47s and telling the people to shoot Russian professional soldiers. There are people who are not trained and he is turning them into targets for Russian troops. Worse still, he has asked Turkey to prevent Russian ships from entering the straights. All he is doing is pushing the world to war where he should have resigned and hopped on that plane to the USA. This comedian has no idea what he is unleashing on the world.

While the Western press is cheering Turkey to block all Russian ships and somehow its ships in Syria will be “cut off”, they seem to be ignorant of the magnitude they are cheering for Turkey. Syria is not isolated and Iran will join the fray in a heartbeat. We have a Directional Change this week in the Turkish lira and Panic cycle at the end of March. Be very careful of what you cheer. Sounds great but Russia is not alone. All of this because Zelensky refused to allow Donetsk and the Luhansk People’s Republics, 98% of Russian provinces, to vote on independence. Is this work burning down the entire world?

In just over one year from taking office, Biden has divided our society between vaccinated v unvaccinated, and the entire world West v Russia/China. I have warned that China would side with Russia and they have now brought in North Korea to the Mix and Belarus has changed its constitution to become nuclear.
