It's The China, Stupid

The quip, "The economy, stupid," was the retort of Bill Clinton's election strategist when campaign workers asked what topics they should raise among voters. In the presidential election just past, it could have been China. Except, that any mention of China was censored.

With a strictly non-professional interest in popular psychology I've been interested in the phenomenon of projection in politics.

I always thought they did the pointy-finger thing at Russia because they didn't want to confront China directly. In military planning, Moscow served as a proxy for Beijing. China, after all, challenges Western dominance in both population and economic growth while the Russian economy is about the size of Italy's. 

We should not demonize any country and certainly not Russia in place of China or the other way around. Should we be honest in our relations with other countries, however, and with ourselves?

The West is avoiding confrontation, I told myself; demonizing Russia while it's really sending an indirect warning to China. Never did I imagine that the obsession with Russia, from the Russiagate hoax to those dreary British intel pronouncements of imminent paralysis at the hands of dastardly Easterners, are actually a cover for their close ties to that larger group of Easterners. What a tangled web we weave...

Mi5 — CLUELESS OR COMPLICIT

Commentator and former GCHQ insider Alex Thomson has pointed out that GCHQ allowed Huawei to install communications equipment for an arm of British state security. Are we to believe that the British branch of the crucial Five Eyes state security network was clueless until the Trump administration imposed sanctions on Huawei in May 2019? Clearly Mi5 is incompetent and was duped by the Chinese or the wannabe spies overestimated their skills in connivance   —  or some hanky panky was going on under the bed sheets all along.

Crowdsourced investigators of the truth are finding that Huawei was aided in looting the intellectual property of Canada's Nortel by politicians and state security insiders. Canada's move to arrest the CEO of Huawei was a showboat.

Remember that the most powerful commercial and institutional forces of the west, from HSBC to the Rockefellers, were active in China long before the communists. I suspect the real relationship with China is the absolute reverse of what the Corporatist Media leads us to believe.

CHINA MADE IN 

Writers about technocracy, such as Patrick Wood and the late Antony Sutton, have argued that globalism is a cover for technocracy, a shift from political to corporatist state. In this analysis it was necessary to grip the lever of political control in the U.S., using the world's biggest economy as a fulcrum to put in motion the Chinese rock: this would fall back upon the U.S. economic system, smashing it. 

The Chinese were easily persuaded of this strategy because it comports with the teachings of Sun Tzu: To secure ourselves against defeat lies in our own hands, but the opportunity of defeating the enemy is provided by the enemy himself.

As for persuading the American people, it required “a catastrophic catalyzing event such as 'a new Pearl Harbor'.” In the destruction of the domestic U.S. economy the people are presented with a problem. They demand government do something: the reaction. Finally, technocracy is transplanted from China as the solution.

In plain English, China would pilot technocracy so that, once built, it could be imposed on the U.S. in one, swift movement.  This avoids the opposition that would mount in the West if the technocratic system was assembled on site. This process can be seen in a series of events: 

"The Trilateral Commission is a non-governmental, nonpartisan discussion group founded by David Rockefeller in July 1973 to foster closer cooperation between Japan, Western Europe and North America."    —  this is from Wikipedia. Notice no mention of China.

The Trilateral Commission is used this to inject the plan into the UN and the U.S. political system. Everything moves very quickly: 1972 Nixon visits China, 1973 Trilateral Commission founded, 1979 Chairman Deng visits U.S., 1980 U.S. grants China full trade access. 

This was presented under the guise of liberalizing trade and thus free enterprise    —  though the resulting state of affairs in China is something quite different.

FOUNDATIONS OF WORLD TRADE

Sun Tzu may have strategized that one should appear weak when strong and strong when weak but he never suggested you should abandon the pretence of strength altogether. It is clearly vital to send consistent messaging to your troops to that they act towards a common purpose. 

A project so fundamental as to reconstitute society requires more than a few lunchtime talks to build consensus among political leaders, if such a project proceeds by consensus at all. Once you are 'messing' with ownership of the means of production and changes that affect the value of assets held by the most powerful people in society, you are no longer talking about decisions that politicians will be allowed to make on their own. 

Even if you believe that politicians wake up one day and think, hey, I'll abolish private ownership for the masses and close down small businesses, you are talking about the customers and the workforce of the top 500 corporations, the people who deposit their earnings at the bank and pay taxes that subsidize the weapons manufacturers. Indirectly, those consumers also support the Chinese corporations. 

Do you imagine a decision to shut down the economy, as we have seen in 2020, is made at the level of politicians, without close direction or control from the people whose wealth and position depends on how the worker ants are organized? Quite the reverse. And thus it was that David Rockefeller built not just the United Nations building but also the World Trade Center. 

David Rockefeller broke ground for the World Trade Center on August 5, 1966.

The demolition of those foundations on September 11th, 2001 brought down not only four buildings of the World Trade Center (one and two, six and seven) but also shook the foundations of the American economic system.

In the late 1990s, working as a reporter for CNBC, I was paid to sing the praises of the free market and I did so honestly, though I can see in hindsight that I was a propagandist. I traveled frequently between Europe and the United States and marveled at the smooth logic of the American economy. If a corporation pays its workers well, it creates the customer base for its own products. There was even room for meritocracy in the U.S. system, in contrast to nepotistic Europe. As asset prices and wages rose in the 1990s, it seemed to be further proof of this virtuous circle. 

And then the Dot Com bubble burst and the fraudulent nature of the U.S. stock market was revealed. I was told at the time by an economist that the Federal Reserve would simply cut interests rates and reinflate the bubble and so it turned out.  The Fed did this again and again over the next two decades until 'printing' digital money became a permanent state of affairs. The foundations had fractured. The reset was underway.

Just as something must have cracked beneath the Twin Towers before they fell at freefall speed, so something had cracked in the western economy long before the markets began to tumble. This is not the article for that save to say that wages had not been rising in real terms since the early 1990s. Governments don't create money: banks do, by lending credit. Banks filled the gap created by stagnant wages but then the people went insolvent, followed by the banks. Meanwhile the Treasury, through the Federal Reserve, was printing money and lending it to the banks who used it to avoid having to mark their balance sheets to market and thus propped up asset prices and the stock market. 

MAO'S BLANK SHEET OF PAPER

The FBI's decision, once the presidential election was safely out of the way, to reveal it had been investigating the Biden family all along — since 2018  —  is not a brazen middle finger to the electorate nor a mea culpa. It is, according to this line of thought, a distraction. The fact that the Corporatist Media reports it — when it previously censored any reference to the China Bidens — points the same way: read between the lines.

For the second time in three elections, we are facing a 'president from nowhere,' with an unexamined past and an unspoken agenda: Kamala Harris avoided scrutiny because she was never the candidate.

Her mentor is likely Barrack Obama, who after he left office never moved out of Washington D.C. I challenge you to name a person who is better positioned to guide the former state prosecutor who is now on course to assume the reins of the world's superpower. Obama loyalists have are already being lined up for round two.

Much as the press may call them "Biden loyalists" and evidence of "bold new thinking"  —  some journalists even imply that Joe Biden was Obama's handler  —  the fact is his key picks are veterans of the Obama administration.

Throw in a bit more and you have a hot pot, a cauldron of pragmatic potluck, with no label to show the ingredients, though its flavours remind us of something.

The World Economic Forum said in its now-suppressed video, “you'll own nothing, and you'll be happy.”

Chairman Mao compared the Chinese people — poor and stripped of their culture — to a blank sheet of paper.

Proposals for a Great Reset, calls for supra-national government, the shift to monopoly and oligarchical collectivism, the promotion of Google and Facebook as barely-cloaked agents of the state, of Amazon as a communist-style universalniy magazin, the largely-privatized nature of the surveillance state, allowing it to embed itself deeply in China's social credit system... and the compromise and penetration of individuals at all levels by agents of the Chinese state all point the same way.

And all the time the Corporatist Media is urgently shifting your gaze, and murmuring Russia, Russia, Russia...
