China and the Final War for Resources

[McKenzie]

this article discusses economic warfare and how the Chinese are using it on the world stage. When one considers the essential role of oil, and US antipathy to both Iran and Venezuela, the picture starts to get a little sharper. It looks like war is actually ongoing; we just don't recognise it as such.

<snip>

China has made several deals with OPEC countries whose ideology is very much anti-American. Headlining the list is Iran who President Bush recently singled out as "the world's primary state sponsor of terror pursuing nuclear weapons while depriving its people of the freedom they seek and deserve."

Also alliances have been made with Venezuela who are threatening to cut off oil exports to the U.S. entirely while giving China as much as it wants. These new deals China is making with these and other hostile OPEC countries also involve trading oil in euros not U.S. dollars. The dumping of U.S. dollars for euros would be devastating to an already weakening dollar.

China’s plan is both brilliant and deviously well planned. New alliances with radical groups, arms for oil deals with Iran, a new military build up, major acquisitions of large western resource companies such as Noranda are just a few of the multifaceted maneuvers now taking place.

1. Thanks...

..for that link.
Vey illuminating.

WW3 is certainly being fought, but it's not war as we understand it, thank God. However, as in all war, to the victors go the spoils.
China has a very patient strategic plan, and it's working. It remains to be seen if the neighbouring stakeholders; ie, Nth Korea,Taiwan and Japan in particular, throw in their hands or play their own individual trump cards, and upset the big game.

2. An Interesting Item, Mr. McKenzie

An odd mixture of sense and hysteria. That blend is well summed by a line stating that the lack of any U.S. plan to prevent China becoming an oil consumer on a par with the United States is sure to lead to war. It is hard to imagine any policy but war that could prevent such a development.

The fellow Winston behind this thing seems a garden-variety market shill: valuable advice on investments is not sold for a $49 subscri[tion fee....

3. Same reason we invaded Iraq - they were switching to Euros.

The corporate 'powers that be' will not abide such heresy... the Dollar will collapse as soon as that happens.

Fortunately for 'the powers that be' they have PO boxes in the Caymans (and are probably investing in Euros).

4. The thing is...

The Bush Crime Family and the Chinese just might be on the same team.

A thirst for Cheap Labour and totalitarianism seem to be something they have in common.

Can you spell treason?

6. For you, a little something I wrote a while back...

The Coincidence Theory's Fatal Flaw
http://www.americaheldhostile.com/ed102902.shtml

excerpt:
Preston Peet, at disinfo.com, writes:

Just one month after the Tiananmen Square massacre in China, then-President George Bush, whose son is being actively sold as the Republican choice for President in 2000, sent two American envoys to Peking to meet with the Chinese government to reaffirm US business ties to China in secret, Brent Scowcroft, then the National Security Advisor, and Lawrence Eagleberger, the US Deputy Secretary of State. Both of these men had worked for Dr. Henry Kissinger's consulting firm, Kissinger Associates. Neither man would make public his business associates at their confirmation hearings before Congress, but they were confirmed anyway. Kissinger wrote Richard Nixon's China initiatives back in the early 1970s, and Bush's brother Prescott worked for a large consulting firm involved in big business deals with the Chinese government at that time.

7. again, many thanks - this stuff interest me greatly

I know there are conspiracy theorists all over the net. However, it's inconceivable that our complex world just trundles along...there are too many vested interests involved and the stakes are just too damned high.

Will read your article with interest.
