The
drive of the Rockefellers and their allies is to create a one world government
combining super-capitalism and Communism under the same tent, all under their
control.... Do I mean conspiracy? Yes, I do. I am convinced there is such a
plot, international in scope, generations old in planning, and incredibly evil
in intent. - Congressman Larry P. McDonald, 1976.
The economic approach seems today
more important than ever, there should be a shift from prophecy to philosophy,
from Church to Global Organization, from God to Multinational as the veil of
mysticism comes off and power is slowly transfer with every treaty and every
agreement to surrogate organizations that by definition are not accountable to
anyone, operating under a separate set of rules in the name of human rights and
free trade.
It is in this environment that they
are trying to achieve the New World Order, a continuation of dynamics set in
motion over a hundred years ago. Globalization is the materialization of the
temperament or speed of the metaphysical currency, a more basic or ignorant generalization
connecting to a larger demand and generating pressure on the world and its
resources. The magnifying glass empirical abstraction that consumes energy and
reduces the spaces, replacing cooperation with one single prerogative and all
kinds of cultural exchanges with financial proceeds, setting the countries in
direct competition with each other for the bottom line.
In 1989 after The Tiananmen Square
incidents the United States broke relations with China and enter into a twelve
yearlong protracted period of economic and political pressures. The U.S.
imposed a number of sanctions and called for reforms in mainland China citing
“human rights” violations. After the attacks of September the 11th on the World
Trade Center where many Chinese citizens died the relationship between the
United States and China changed drastically reducing significantly the
traditional anti-Americanism, and the Chinese Government offered public support
for the war on terrorism, voted in favor of Unite Nations SCR 1373 and the
campaign in Afghanistan, and contributed $150 million of bilateral assistance
to Afghan reconstruction. The U.S. and China also commenced a counterterrorism
dialogue, holding the third round of the talks in Beijing on February
2003.
By 2006 The China-U.S. Strategic
Economic Dialogue was initiated by President George W. Bush and President Hu
Jintao to establish a “framework” to discuss topics related to economic
relations between both countries. Leaders of both countries would meet twice a
year at locations alternating between China and the US. A total of five
meetings were held between 2006 and 2008. The First meeting to place on
December 14th of 2006 in Beijing and second on May 22th of 2007 in Washington,
DC. The Strategic Economic Dialogue was eventually expanded to give the U.S.
State Department a bigger role by the Presidency of Barack Obama. The creation
of the S & ED was announced on April of 2009 in London at the G-20 summit.
The upgraded mechanism replaced the former Senior Dialogue and Strategic
Economic Dialogue started under the George W. Bush administration.
But these were only the last events
in the ongoing process and long pursued strategy of “carrot and stick”, triple
doses of economic pressures, human rights manipulations and dual morality
diplomacy executed in the tradition of very old strong arms tactics to pressure
China into position. In 1969, the United States initiated measures to relax
trade restrictions and other impediments to bilateral contact, to which China
responded.
On April 6, 1971 the young American
ping pong player Glenn Cowan missed his U.S. team bus and was waved by a
Chinese table tennis player onto the bus of the Chinese team. Subsequently at
the 31st World Table Tennis Championship in Japan, Cowan spoke with the Chinese
players in a friendly fashion once again, the Chinese player a three-time World
Men’s Singles Champion, presented him with a silk-screen portrait of the famous
Huangshan Mountains. According to sources of information from China, the
friendly contact between Zhuang Zedong and Glenn Cowan as well as the
photograph of the two players in Dacankao had an impact on Mao, who had earlier
decided not to invite the U.S. team along with teams of other western
countries, and the American ping pong team was invited to tour mainland China.
In July 1971 Henry Kissinger, while
on a trip to Pakistan, faked an illness and did not appear in public for a day.
In fact, he was actually on a secret mission to Beijing to open relations with
the government of China. On July 15, 1971, President Richard Nixon revealed the
mission to the world and announced that he had been invited to visit China and
he had accepted. In May of 1973, the United States Liaison Office was established
in Beijing and a counterpart Chinese office in Washington, DC. George H. W.
Bush and Leonard Woodcock served as chiefs of the United States Liaison Office
with the personal rank of Ambassador.
In 1975 President Gerald Ford
visited China and reaffirmed the U.S.’s interest in normalizing relations with
Beijing. Carter’s National Security
Advisor Zbigniew Brzezinski and senior staff member of the National Security
Council Michel Oksenberg encouraged Carter to seek full diplomatic and trade
relations with China. Brzezinkski and Oksenberg subsequently traveled to
Beijing to work with Leonard Woodcock, then head of the liaison office, to lay
the groundwork to do so.
The United States and the People’s
Republic of China announced on December 15, 1978 that the two governments would
establish diplomatic relations. In the Shanghai Communiqué the United States
transferred diplomatic recognition from Taipei to Beijing and reiterated
acknowledgment of the Chinese position that there is only one China. Beijing on
his part acknowledged that the American people would continue to carry on
commercial, cultural and other unofficial contacts with the people of Taiwan.
On March 1, 1979 the United States and the People’s Republic of China formally
established embassies in Beijing and Washington, DC, outstanding private claims
were resolved and a bilateral trade agreement was concluded.
The Unite States retained
independent relations with Taiwan which would become very significant. The
Taiwan Relations Act produced the changes in U.S. domestic law to permit such
“unofficial relations”. In June 1981 then Secretary of State Alexander Haig
visited China in an effort to resolve Chinese questions about America’s
irregular relationship with Taiwan. Eight months of negotiations produced the
U.S.-PRC joint communiqué of August 17, 1982 in which the U.S. stated its
intention to gradually reduce the level of arms sales to Taiwan.
Following the Chinese authorities’
suppression of demonstrators in June 1989, the U.S. and other governments
enacted a number of measures to express their condemnation of the China’s
violation of human rights. The U.S. suspended high-level official exchanges
with China and weapons exports from the U.S. to China and imposed economic
sanctions.
The
U.S. Trade and Development Agency suspended new activities in mainland China
from June 1989 until January 2001, when President Bill Clinton lifted this
suspension. Overseas Private Insurance Corporation also suspended new activities
starting June 1989.
Development Bank
Lending/International Monetary Fund Credits - the United States does not
support development bank lending and will not support IMF credits to the PRC
except for projects that address basic human needs.
Munitions List Exports - subject to
certain exceptions, no licenses may be issued for the export of any defense
article on the U.S. Munitions List. This restriction may be waived upon a
presidential national interest determination.
Arms Imports - import of defense
articles from China was banned after the imposition of the ban on arms exports
to China. The import ban was subsequently waived by the Administration and
re-imposed on May 26, 1994. It covers all items on the Bureau of Alcohol,
Tobacco, and Firearms’ Munitions Import List.
In
1996, China conducted military exercises in the Taiwan Strait triggering the
Third Taiwan Straits Crisis. The United States dispatched two aircraft carrier
battle groups to the region in spite of the Shanghai Communiqué. Subsequently,
tensions relaxed and relations between the U.S. and Taiwan improved, with
increased high-level exchanges and progress on numerous bilateral issues,
including human rights, nonproliferation, and trade.
In June 1998 President Clinton
visited China. He traveled extensively and had direct interaction with the
Chinese people including live speeches and a radio show, allowing the President
to convey first hand a sense of American ideals and “values”.
In May 1999 NATO’s bombed the
Chinese embassy in Belgrade severely straining relations temporarily; the
“accident” was accredited to an intelligence error. On January 2001, right
before leaving office, President Clinton reestablished relations with China,
after twelve years of sanctions and harassment.
In April 2001, a Chinese J-8
fighter jet collided with a U.S. EP-3 reconnaissance aircraft flying south of
China, in what became known as the Hainan Island incident. The EP-3 was able to
make an emergency landing on China’s Hainan Island despite extensive damage;
the Chinese aircraft crashed with the loss of its pilot, Wang Wei. It was
widely believed that the EP-3 recon aircraft was conducting a spying mission on
the Chinese Armed Forces before the collision.
Coinciding with these pressures two
lines of dependency were extended between the two countries, the relocation of
manufacturing industries to China and the transfer of most of American’s
external debt, along with the additional loans at an exponentially higher cost.
Completely unreasonable but serving as a shock absorbent for the load about to
be dropped on the world, making it temporally viable only to continue streamlining
the supply lines and generating higher demands. Holding America’s debt also
provides China with a false sense of security inhibiting the will to discuss
matters that might affect the “supply lines”. China who has basically been
coerced into buying insurance, becomes the new beacon of hope, and goes to the
moon as the United States grounds its shuttle program, and we see a past and a
future, blame ourselves and continue to believe.
The Strategic & Economic Dialogue
At the Strategic Track under the
framework of the Second Round of the U.S.-China Strategic and Economic Dialogue
the two sides discussed major bilateral, regional and global issues energy
security, climate change, United Nations peacekeeping, counterterrorism and law
enforcement. The Dialogue produced 26 specific outcomes; the word nuclear is
repeated 8 times, energy 16 times of which 5 in the context of security or
intellectual property restrictions and radioactive threats. Human rights are
mentioned 3 times and The United Nations 4 times, 37 references that set the
tone of the conversation. There is no direct reference to trade or economy
related issues other than the extending of funds to corporations, no mention of
poverty, training or education, taxes or safety nets, actually the word economy
does not come up in the economic dialoged. The only agencies involved are
Department of State, Health and Homeland Security, no mention of The Department
of Commerce either.
Taking advantages of the need
cooperation especially in the face of adversity the good will is harnessed to
advance the second front in the offensive triggered by 911. A similar strategy
of misinformation was used to manipulate public opinion and invade Iraq; we
even came out with a new celebrated product, “shock and owe”, and a new low in
the competition for dehumanization. In addition to the conflict of interest
created by the codependency and the huge debt, these issues cannot be dealt
with due to the abnormal nature of an economic system that is not subject to
the political scrutiny and social structures. The negotiations take place in a
different forum where the conditions of trade and the details are worked out,
including the realignment that needed to take place in the U. S and China; the
agenda moves on out of the public eye. In addition, other measures were taken
to preempt concerns about the treaty and reinforce the false sense of security
on a global scale.
# 4 Signed the Memorandum of
Understanding between the Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Customs and
Border Protection and the General Administration of Customs of the People’s
Republic of China Concerning Bilateral Cooperation on Supply Chain Security and
Facilitation.
# 5. Renewed the Memorandum of
Understanding for the Collaborative Program on Emerging and Re-emerging
Infectious Diseases between the Department of Health and Human Services of the
United States of America and the Ministry of Health of the People’s Republic of
China.
# 6. Welcome the progress made on
implementing the U.S. China Memorandum of Understanding to Enhance Cooperation
on Climate Change, Energy and Environment and the Ten Year Framework on Energy
and Environment Cooperation, and are to enhance practical cooperation in areas
such as climate change, energy, and environment.
#19 Are to cooperate to fight
corruption, including bribery of public officials, through the U.S.-China Joint
Liaison Group’s Anticorruption Working Group, the APEC Anticorruption Task
Force and other multilateral.
The United Nations and “human
rights concerns” set the general tone of the conversations and dictate the
agenda; controlling the world’s energy decisions and climate related issues,
protect the strategic goals and insure we remain committed to fossil fuels.
Finding fresh grounds is an existential condition of the systems; hidden in the
performance adjustment will be the pressures on Chinas political system. The
political structures are reduced to the role of watch dogs in charge of
peripheral activities, developing law enforcement protocols and legal matters,
protection of the means of exchange, the supply lines and other “vital
interests”. China’s government cut sales
taxes on smaller, fuel-efficient cars and spent $730 million on subsidies for
buyers of larger cars, pickup trucks and minivans. Stimulus spending on
building highways and other public works also helped to boost sales of trucks,
which was not expected to exceed the US market until 2020 but the speed with
which the recession affected consumers in the States combined with incentives
from the Beijing government accelerated the trend. For the first time more cars
were sold in China than in the United States.
The threat of an arms conflict is
also used to generate pressure and coerce “cooperation” under specific
conditions. On January 2010, the US
proposed a $6.4 billion arms sale to Taiwan. China threatened to impose
sanctions on US companies supplying arms to Taiwan and suspend cooperation on
certain regional and international issues. On February 19, 2010 President Obama
also met with the Dalai Lama, whom China has accused of “fomenting unrest in
Tibet”. After the meeting, China summoned the U.S. ambassador to China.
This is clearly an unadulterated
continuation of the American project, and an example of the true nature of the
expansionist nature of the system once again. These deals are taking place
behind closed doors as usual, society gets lip service on the important matters
and phrases such as fuel-efficient and economic prosperity calm the anxiety
amidst the efforts to increase the car population in the billions, serving too
as an anesthetic loan. In terms of investing in the future it is the worst
possible alternative, beyond the immediate activity generated by these
maneuvers it will leave China with a negative return. The huge dependency on
oil, interest rates, cars’ short lifespan, maintenance and infrastructure
requirements, as well as utter inefficiency as a form of transportation will
gradually offset the initial gains and the well-placed funds, and will start
absorbing much of the productivity. Those connections will be tied to a
constantly rising cost of living caused by the empiric negation and low
coefficient capitalization, forcing China into a similar “rat race” and
perpetual expansion and environment pollution patterns just to keep up.
Previously optimistic estimations
of peak oil production had forecasted the global decline to begin by 2020. At
2006 consumption levels the world oil supplies would have been down to zero by
2056. A study published in the journal Energy Policy predicted demand would’ve
surpassed supply by 2015 and that major investments in alternatives would have
to occur before a crisis. Amazingly, so far The United Nations approach has
been creating a fund that will start off in the year 2020. The United States
has some of the highest relative poverty rates among industrialized countries.
The top 10% possess 90% of the wealth, Americans constitute 5% of the world’s
population but consume 24% of the energy; as much oil as the United Kingdom,
Iran, France, Mexico, Canada, South Korea, Saudi Arabia, Germany, Brazil,
Russia and India together, hardly a success. There are about 800 million cars in
the world compare to 400 just a decade ago, over 300 million in the United
States. Oil consumption is 2.67 gallons per person a day; compare to 1.3 for
Europe and .53 the rest of the world, and greenhouse emissions are 24.5 tons
per capita for a total of approximately 7 trillion tons a year (no other
country with over 30 million people surpasses 15 tons per person).
Asia, which accounts for over 60%
of the world population with more than four billion people grew by 237.771
million between 2000 and 2005. China accounts for about one fifth of the world’
population, being conservative it would need between 70 and 80 million barrel a
day, doubling today’s global demand, which at the current $120 per barrel would
costs them over 8.5 billion dollars a day, over $3 trillion a year, and gas
emissions would go from about 4.5 trillion tons to 33 trillion tons a year,
almost the world’s total of 40 trillion.

In 2008 the big oil companies were
worried about the impact of huge profits on their images, since Americans were
bearing the burden of record prices in the middle of an economic crisis. To
soften the public’s perception, they launched a green public relations
offensive to convince society that they were part of the energy solution,
instead of the problem. But a CAP analysis of their investments reveals that
the big five oil companies invested just 4 percent of their total 2008 profits
in renewable and alternative energy ventures. This reality contrasts with their
ads that promote greener, cleaner images. Despite being the highest earner of
all the oil companies, ExxonMobil invested the least, less than 1 percent of
its 2008 profits.
Recently, employees in BP’s
renewable energy division in the United Kingdom were laid off with the
cancellation of several clean energy projects, such as two power plants that
would have captured and stored their carbon dioxide emissions in spite the $125
billion made since 2001. It is expected that global operations will be affected
as well, and proposed wind farms in the United States may be delayed.
Interestingly, the apparent investment caution has not prevented BP from
pursuing a tar sands project in Canada, announced at the end of 2007. Oil from
Canada’s tar sands is the most expensive form of crude oil to produce. The
extraction and conversion of tar sands to a usable energy source can cause as
much as five times the greenhouse gas emissions compared to conventional crude
oil, and contamination of waterways by pollution from tar sands development is
suspected of causing bizarre mutations of marine organisms.
Globalization is displacing the
axis trumping all other structures. This means is relocating the center of
gravity and creating a new giant production line that will magnify the problems
and redistribute consumption, an increasingly alienating concentration of
resources and cascade of information. In America excess labor will grow and
become increasingly evident generating more of the speculative activities and
financial bubble. Reducing the capabilities and expanding the customer base
which undermines the potential, causing the rush to the bottom that keeps us
from the right development and defining the standard of wellness. In other words,
improves the Multinational’s leverage and hinders society’s ability to respond,
producing a bigger deficit and exacerbating the dependency (raising the
stakes). Forty-two thousand factories closed in the United States in the last decade,
one third of all the manufacturing.
The economic entities with their
financial systems supersede all political structures and continue to displace
relative value to create a more unstable vortex, limiting the options and
mobility further and accelerating the compensating factors, environmental degradation
and the introduction of more money to the world. With this change of gear an
increase in velocity can be justified while temporarily reducing the tension
and the burden, generating the massive pressure on the environment as well. The
question is only what’s going to give first, society as we know it,
civilization or the habitat? What does the promised rapture look like? One
thing we know for sure is that we cannot catch up before destroying the planet.
