From China with love huh?!
Now they are emulating American foreign policy, getting involved in intrigues in Africa and other places, that would not seem to have any relationship to their vital national interests.
Oil, minerals and other natural resource plundering.
They have pretty abundant natural resources there in China, but I think the issue is that it’s more expensive to develop and exploit them. They could, like Japan, simply buy these resources on the market, but you can’t fuel a hemispheric domination program that way. You have to nationalize the resources to make them available at a low enough cost to underwrite such growth. So perhaps these resources they are seeking elsewhere are in amounts and at costs needed to sustain an unnaturally rapid economic development. They distribute these costs to other parts of the economy.
If Americans would just look on the bottom of things they buy and put it back if it says “made in China” they’d be participating in a form of economic warfare far more effective than planes and ships at curbing Chinese ambitions. We know perfectly well that the Chinese are intent upon becoming a superpower in every sense. I believe that they have every intention of trying to dictate to the U.S. what its foreign policy and trade policy should be.
Domestically everything has to be dirt cheap because, in our avarice, we have to have MORE of everything. This is something that the AWNs NEVER address, due to their commitments to a technocratic utopian vision for the future (the final defeat of scarcity). We don’t manufacture much anymore because, of course,
But standard microeconomic theory tells us that at a certain point a rising standard of living should result in savings because there is a natural limit to the discretionary and luxury purchases of the household. But that is in a vacuum. In the real world of scientifically designed advertising, galloping social materialism, and a disappearance of real human interaction, there is no limit, as we’ve seen. We’ll spend ourselves into debt so deep that we can never dig out without foisting the debt on the public. Debt-free living will never sustain that kind of economic activity and the economy would shrink. Corporations will do ANYTHING to prevent that, up to and including murder and treason. In fact, treason is their stock-in-trade. Foisting the debt on the public is the entire point for the banks that own this debt. By way of example, let’s look at the crisis that our economy underwent when the debt markets malfunctioned and stopped. Panic and chaos. An unemployment bomb then goes off. Why? Our economy is almost completely debt-fueled, that’s why. Who owns that debt, international banks and foreign governments. One of the largest holders of U.S. public debt instruments is China.
They want nothing less than economic enslavement of our population, and they achieve it through the medium of taxes that are imposed via the government’s monopoly of force. So the government, in collusion with banks (using the intermediary of the central bank -the Federal Reserve) becomes the enforcement arm of a protection racket. The system is essentially a racketeering system -basically organized crime that uses the illusion of democratic elections as a cover. The collusion and planning with banks and large industry (like defense contractors) makes it a Fascist system as well, but one not limited to domestic entities, since these are international banks, often, that own the debt.
The entire purpose for a central bank is to keep this kind of spree going as long as possible before a collapse, and then the market manipulators like Soros profit from the collapse as well. This is why economic secession is key in what we preach.
