China has replaced Russia as the primary geostrategic rival and scapegoat. I sense lots of fear for China in and around Washington, the Pentagon, think tanks.. in media reports.

China is ambitious, that much is clear. Pakistan is a hug powder keg with a lit fuse attached. Somebody needs to put that out.

I do see confrontation with China as a possibility, for the simple reason that at some point in the (distant) future, both sides will be forced to, because they can't afford to lose control over regions which are key geographical positions from a military perspective or over regions which are rich in natural resources. As China's economy grows exponentially, and natural resources deplete, the chances of such a confrontation occurring within our lifetimes increase drastically to the point of inevitability.

China is a nuclear power, Pakistan is a nuclear power, plus, internally deeply unstable.... a catastrophe is brewing.

There is a reason why China has developed, among other things, anti-satellite weapons and cruise missiles which can destroy aircraft carriers...

Then there's North Korea - South Korea, also destabilizing, also at least one nuclear power involved... Seoul is a stone's throw from the Korean DMZ, you could just toss a nuke over the fence, Seoul would be wiped out with no warning.

And Iran.. possible future nuclear power... (If I were Iran, I would want one, because nothing else will keep the yanks out) How often has the U.S. battled nuclear powers directly since they last used a-bombs themselves?

We shouldn't forget Israel, estimated to have about 200 nuclear weapons and facing a possible wind of change in the countries around it, Israel's leadership must be in a swivet. There's no telling what Israel will do when its wingnut leadership starts behaving like a cornered animal.

both are things which Israel wants gone.

Thus, Pakistan was always going to be framed as on the "wrong side" in the fraudulent war on terror.

Thus, the ISI gets framed as drug-running terrorist hiding bad guys.

Thus, Obama expands the war by immediately reframing the 9/11 war in Afghanistan as AfPak, highlighting the created instability in Pakistan as it attempts to exploit it.

China is an empire, an internal empire, and always has been.

The Chinese leadership have always known that they have to keep their country together FIRST, or all is lost.

In order to do this, they HAVE to secure the resources necessary to give their people a reasonable standard of living while competing with the wasteful and corrupt U.S.

The Chinese know all about 9/11 and the U.S. plans for global domination and have to oppose it in order to insure their own INTERNAL security.

Thus, they shoot down their own aging satellite to demonstrate to the U.S. and Russia their capacity to defend the highest ground (space) AND they make deals with all their neighbors in central Asia (the Shanghai Cooperation Organization) to resist western (i.e. U.S. and British) meddling in their backyard.

Keep in mind that the U.S. has been funding terrorism in western China for years, if not decades.

As long as the Chinese maintain control over their currency, the possibility for serious hostilities perpetrated by the west remains.

The Chinese are not stupid, they have been fighting to maintain their internal empire for thousands of years and will not give that up easily.

Western containment of China is a delicate balancing act in that the west has to encourage China to follow the western economic model (especially the FINANCIAL model) while also building in fences and other obstacles to total Chinese domination, absent their self-subjugation via global monetary control.

Into this mix add a middle eastern bulldog hellbent on survival and expansion at any cost and what do you get?

Decades of mischief in central Asia (Grand Chessboard, anyone?), including the 9/11 false flag, and an end game designed to make Israel the only nuclear power in the neighborhood and large enough to be almost sustainable.

This should indicate who one of the main agents involved in creating 9/11 was and thus the primary agent for the ongoing cover-up, and the push back against this entity from those in the know in the U.S. who don't like the role assigned the U.S. in this game.

I recommend learning Mandarin, asap (hello = "nee how", thank you = "shay shay", that will get you started) if you want to work in international finance, because that's where all the money is going.

The truth shall set us free. Love is the only way forward.
