Last night’s speech concerning the war in Afghanistan was laughable. There is no reason to believe America will leave that country while its national security is threatened by the staunch military buildup of the Chinese forces. Why would the American government give up control of 90% of the world’s opium production? The new wars being fought today are not being fought with guns and missiles. They are being fought using financial markets, bio-weapons, societal influence and fear. If people would stop watching the local nightly news and read the 2004 Chinese military white paper, they might see what is really happening in the world today. In that paper the Chinese clearly state that the next world war will be fought not only with weapons but the mastery of the aforementioned.
Destabilizing the citizens of a nation will force that nation not only to use its forces to quell the resistance at home but also to thin the defense of the physical forces and the morale as well. By thinning the defense and morale of the defending military, any nation, with strong economic capabilities, could topple the defending nation with a quick financial blow and spread of disease. By crippling the credit rating of any country this day and age would disallow that defending nation to borrow enough money to stop the spread of dissent and disease. With any defending nation unable to keep the homeland stable, government destabilization would occur within a short period of time.
Once the government becomes destabilized, the offense could easily topple that government and replace it with a government that is sympathetic its cause. This has been done many times throughout history but it is so much easier now with today’s technology. With the manipulation of public opinion complete success or the complete failure is on the shoulders of the public. If the public begins a transformation into wide spread dissent, the government of that country will need to contain that dissent in the hopes it does not spread out of control.
History shows that dissent spreads quickly under situations where the people of a country are highly taxed and oppressed to the extreme in any way. Presently there have been certain countermeasures put in place to keep this from happening quickly. Some of these countermeasures are two or three party political groups hidden behind a democracy. By keeping the people arguing about political issues, the government can pit one faction against another and quell the dissent almost immediately with certain leniency toward one or two of the political parties. Religion is another way to keep the masses calm and accepting the government’s ultimate rule and decision.
The people of America need to really wake up to the times and look at the current global situation to see why they are loosing their jobs and why China seems to be weathering the storm fairly well. The continual threat of flu and sickness that is invading our population all of a sudden is questionable and alarming. Once a person has knowledge of the openly distributed white papers for Chinese military build up, there is little to debate on what is happening in this current global economic turbulence. China’s current refusal to allow its currency to be manipulated in order to keep the dollar as the top currency has only accelerated the global economic crisis. With America’s unhindered push toward hegemony it seems inevitable for another country to try to retaliate and keep one single country or empire from ultimate control. Are we at war?
