Senators Warn China That Escalations In South China Seas Threaten US "National Interests", China Likely To Retaliate
Just because China was already delighted with Obama's reception of the Dalai Lama, here come John McCain and John Kerry warning China to mind it territorial waters, because apparently US national interests are threatened. Per the FT: “We are concerned that a series of naval incidents in recent months has raised tensions in the region,” said John Kerry, the Democratic chairman of the Senate foreign relations committee, and John McCain, the former Republican presidential candidate. “If appropriate steps are not taken to calm the situation, future incidents could escalate, jeopardising the vital national interests of the United States.” The logical follow up is glairngly obvious but here it is: "China is likely to see the comments as a provocation as they echo remarks by Hillary Clinton, US secretary of state, last year that infuriated Beijing. Speaking at the Asean Regional Forum (ARF) in Hanoi last July, Mrs Clinton angered Beijing by saying the US had “a national interest in freedom of navigation . . . in the South China Sea." What is surprising is that the US is dumb enough to bait China with such provocations as the US Treasury market is now, more than at any other point in the past 3 years, reliant on Chinese bond purchases. And for all those who claim that China has no other alternative where to recycle its trade surplus dollars, we bring you exhibit i) the EURUSD, where China sells dollars and buys euros, and ii) Eurozone bonds over the past months, which it has been gobbling up ravenously. So yes: it does have alternatives, and it may very well make a rather forceful statement to that extent.
From the FT:
The South China Sea includes vital sea lanes for most of north-east Asia’s oil imports and other trade with Europe, the Middle East, Africa, India and south-east Asia. China, Vietnam, the Philippines, Malaysia, Brunei and Taiwan claim all or parts of the area, but China’s claims are the most extensive.
The comments from the US senators follow a period when the Obama administration has publicly toned down criticism of China’s increasingly aggressive behaviour in the contested energy-rich waters.
At the Shangri-La Dialogue regional defence summit in Singapore in June, Robert Gates, then US defence secretary, disappointed some south-east Asian officials by taking a relatively soft public line on China, which partly reflected a desire not to harm improved military relations between the powers. However, Mr Gates reassured US allies in the region that Washington would maintain a “robust military engagement” in the region.
China is already not too happy with the latest developments:
Underscoring the mounting tensions, five Filipino lawmakers on Wednesday plan to fly to an island claimed by Manila in the disputed Spratlys archipelago, prompting the immediate ire of China.
China said on Tuesday that the mission “serves no purpose but to undermine peace and stability in the region and sabotage the China-Philippines relationship”, according to Agence France Presse.
Both the Philippine government and the leadership of the country’s House of Representatives distanced themselves from the visit. A government spokesman said the move was unofficial and a private initiative of the lawmakers.
However, the politicians who organised the visit said they had secured the permission of the Philippine military commander in the area to fly a private aircraft to the island.
Then again, since the source of this consternation are US politicians, these days better known as the best diversionary actors outside of Hollywood, we won't take it far too seriously until such time as China gives an indication such a stance is wrong.

Not till after WWIII.
This would be a ridiculous notion, CD!
Wait a minute...
[pulls out dusty old copy of The Report from Iron Mountain]
I keep an electronic copy that never gets dusty. My back up paper copy is stored in Iron Mountain.
http://www.teachpeace.com/Report_from_Iron_Mountain.pdf
This Iron Mt report is a pile of old garbage. Nothing but a poor attempt to "philosophically" justify continued expansion of the US Military-Indutrial complex.
If "you gotta love war" then obviously you also "gotta love TBTF bail-out recipients. The US "intellect" itself has always been fase, pseudo-intellect - making up crap to cover for its moronic, rudimentary "human" character, which, if it is as un-improveable as Iron Mt report claims - i.e. it cannot devise any alternative structuring principle to organized mass violence - in my estimation deserves the physical self-destruction attained by its own mediocrity.
Goodbye USA.
I'm sure we haven't seen the most ridiculous wag the dog scheme yet. I'm sure they'd like nothing more than a new cold war with China to justify more power grabs, but I don't think anyone is going to buy it at this point. It has be more creative than that.
Stand by for false flag alien invasion in 3.......2.......1....

Why waste 50 years of movie and television predictive programming by not serving up what we have all been primed to accept is inevitable? One of the wonderful side benefits of the movies and TV, aside from manufacturing consumers, is the predictive programing it provides. Want to make something plausible? Make a movie or TV show about it.
Brilliant! The CIA was on this back in the early 50's and they have never stopped.
The global psyche needs to be softened up before they accept that big show.
OK, have it your way.
But immediately after WW3 I expect massive star ships in the sky and ugly aliens raping the male Congressional representatives and senators.
Deal?
Deal! But be sure you're close enough to a cell tower so you can hear the audio.
that would be OK with me at least. But can i have the female reps and senators then?
Wait, wait, waaaaait a minute here... Cancel that. You almost had me baited into one of those "careful what you wish for" scenarios.
So are you then insinuating the aliens wouldn't touch the females there either?
Hold on a second. I need to consult the triple top secret false flag script. Let's see.
Aliens raping male Congressional pukes. check
Massive star ships in the sky. check
Ummmm, nothing here about female Congressional pukes one way or another. I need to call the script writing boys and tell them to tighten things up a bit more. Thanks for a great catch.
You know, you look like you might have star potential bigdumbnugly. Interested in a walk on? Call me baby.
my people will be contacting your people shortly.
Does this imply that Barney is an alien?
From Planet Klendathu...Barney Frank is...
is
OUCH !!
now, that is reeaallly, truly gross....
I'm confused. This appears vaguely human but I cannot place it. Is that the top or the bottom or has someone been turned inside out? Exactly what is that?
It appears to be someone bent over facing away from you.
It is truly disgusting.
I'll Echo the question... what IS that?
Never MIND!
Joy Behar before the liposuction.
I am so sorry that I asked that question . . .
That may be the grossest thing I have ever seen.

If this could be guaranteed, then I would simply be forced to graciously welcome our new Alien Overlords.
So I'm assuming this is your one and only demand during surrender negotiations? They were gonna do it anyway. Think bigger. :)
Hold on, I just thought of something: what do you suppose they're using porn to program us for?
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm.......
- Chumblez.
Thanks for the wonderfully deep belly laugh on that one. And the reminder of my very sore ass. Eyes tearing up and everything.
You'd better leave now Chumba while you're way ahead. :>)
Hentai! Those alien tentacles swing both ways, you lucky Humans, you! :>D
There's no need to go all out like that until millions are actually starving. The election season starts in a few months. All the sheeple need for distraction is a rerun of the guns, gays and god debate. That's guaranteed to whip them into a frenzy, where they'll be glued to the TV. An occasional reference to Iran when the attention span wanes (Pavlov's bell).
It appears that China might deploy & place on a strategic alert additional 20 MERV with 10 1MT-nuclear payloads each targeting additional US cities.
Thank you Zionist Rothschild agents (a.k.a. members of the US Congress) for gravely endangering America and its people. Looks like cowards, imbeciles, and traitors are running our country.
PS
After all, brainwashed iPad-crazy America deserves this shit.
Exactly! Watch the other hand when you hear the saber rattling.
Isn't this super awesome? That the mistrust of government is so high that the initial reaction from everyone is government conspiracy to distract voters from a deflating economy, heist by bank fraud and high CPI in essential goods. The US has been poking around, seeing which war the voters are interested in. Israel versus Iran on the Al Jazeera network or China versus US on Fox News. Pissing off the Chinese using Dali Lama. Shit talking about water passage rights. Israel threatening Iran over basically nothing... The only way out of a depression is to create a destructive event- see world war 1,2, Civil War, rome versus Huns. You name it. Its coming
Isntreal v Iran and us v china is same thing: western banksters seeking to control china via oil. Gold standard or SDR fookery depend on this, IMO

I think the next move is clear. If China does not desist, we will have no other option but to invade Germany.
Invade us? Why? :)
warm-ups; "just business - don't take it personal"
The Americans want to learn how to build real cars like Audi, BMW, Mercedes...
but they want to build them with plastic components.
GOOD LUCK WITH THAT!
They got their chance with Chrysler. Cost MBz a pretty penny, it did!
BUT BELGIUM WILL NOT ALLOW THIS AND RETALIATE AGAINST THE US!!
Don't worry Germany... we'll save ya...

As long as you don't switch off the lights on your highways at night. Now that would be scary...

No no, it's invade Canada.

I suspect much of the rest of the world sees the USA as the US sees Pakistan.
A failed state with nuclear weapons.
IMHO, except for a few of those nations on the US payroll the rest of the world believes the US is the major terrorist as of many months ago.
The rest of the world is constantly trying to move ahead in spite of u s military, financial, political, and media intervention. It seems as though we are at the station watching the train pull away, calling frantically on our cell phones to get a train back that has forgotten us, the u.s.
Power has its limits.
You are not far off the mark there.
sees it how? On the TV we invented? Or on the iPhones we invented connected to the cell towers we invented, across the internet and fiber optics we invented to the computers we invented to the "mass media" we also invented?
IOW, fuck the rest of the world, and especially China

Every time I can, when I see a Chinese, I tell them they do not have to worry, that US citizens are coming to see them at home.
This is a US world order.
Will you be swinging by Toronto and Vancouver en route?
Real U.S. citizens want peace with China, and respect the Chinese people. We remember our alliance in the Second World War. I am worried about the warlords in Washington and Beijing, however. "Great men" send the peasants to die... that's the way it's always been. Peace is the only way in the time of the atomic bomb.

No kidding! They want to defend Communist Vietnam's sovereignty claims! LOL! Talk about Stockholm Syndrome! Who wants to die to defend the corrupt Manila oligarchy's claims for some rocks in the South China Sea??? B.S. Let the Chinese take it all, 56,000 Americans died face-down in the mud of Vietnam, now the Vietnamese Communists run the show, let them sweat this out. The U.S. has no business meddling in this crap.
I hear you. It pisses me off all those lives wasted, not to mention the residule effects that remain with those that made it home.
@SoNH80, With oil under the spratleys someone (china) will push someone (P.I./Vietnam) else off. Why must the US be involved??? I agree with you, not a US problem. Besides US troops are closer to proven reserves in SA.
(-21) times 39 equals -819 whf?
It's China's backyard, and if one Commie country wants to steal another's oil, so what. If this were happening off of Key West, would we appreciate the Chinese getting involved in a U.S. squabble with Cuba over oil rights? Of course not! I firmly believe that this planet is getting very small, and for the good of mankind, we shouldn't be poking around there above and beyond keeping the sea lanes safe. Likewise, China should mind its P's and Q's in Latin America (especially the Caribbean). Good fences make good neighbors, and all that...
correct. let 'em duke it out themselves, in their own neighborhood but NIMBY
Chop Suey Bitchez
Watch the other hand when you hear the saber rattling.
Did Kerrie and McGruber get told to say that or are they retards? Admittedly I'm not a foreign affairs expert but it doesn't seem like a good time to be picking fights.
The answer to your question is yes.
The U.S. doing what it does best:
Picking fights all over the world.
Your leaders are really really stupid assholes.
Since when is the "south China sea" U.S. American territory ?
Fuck you !
It's a little bit closer to China than to the U.S., isn't it ?
Who gives the U.S. the right to tell other nations what they can and can not do, all the while breaking each and every international treaty ?!
Hillary Clinton is a worthless American CUNT !!!
A stinking piece of human garbage !
Our "leaders" have nothin' on their European handlers as relates to stinking human garbage!
Why in sult garbage?

just started reading it for the second time.
Believe me, Griffin does not hold back in this book. He goes after all the major banking families- Morgans, Rockefellers, Rothschilds, Schiffs, Warburgs- to name a few. Also explains in full detail the inner workings of the world banking system, fractional reserve lending, central bank manipulation of interest rates and everything else pertaining to the world financial system.
Make sure when you buy it to get the 5th edition which is updated to cover the 2007-2008 crisis and subsequent bailouts.
Double-Post
Just re-read it. It leaves no doubt that the Fed cartel of the US and the banking cartel of Europe are the primary causes of wars and booms-busts and why the fiat ponzi is collapsing. Read it and weep.
can't believe Griffin didn't meet with an "unfortunate accident" over that (he is still with us, right?)
indeed. Yes, he is still with us. He is an avid supporter of the Ron Paul campaign.
Here is a speech he gave in 2008 at a Ron Paul Liberty rally.

Also (to everyone), don't forget to donate to Dr. Paul's money bomb today. He needs a lot of supporter if he is going to compete with Romney's type of fundraising.

Be thankful most of you are old enough not to have to worry about a draft.
My ass is on the line if this ever gets out of control into an all out war with China.
just get knocked up you won't be drafted.
Just pregnancy plus 6 months now and may be waived by combatant (under pressure from bills and commander)

interesting, thanks. I don't plan on starting a family for a longwhile yet.
The last thing I will ever turn into is a draft dodger. Hopefully the inevitable war with China over empire will not come for many years.
I think Jim Rogers predicted 2020 for a major war between the US and China.
A war between China and the U.S. would be an epic disaster for both countries. No sane person should cheer for it. It may happen anyway. China and the U.S. were close allies in WW2, that residual goodwill should be revived. "There was never a good war, or a bad peace." -Ben Franklin
china needs a war much more than the usa does

It's called resignation.
"state of uncomplaining, utter frustration"
The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation. What is called resignation is confirmed desperation.- Henry David Thoreau
Always admired Thoreau. Walden - a great book. Read it the last time around '09. Should read it again. But then there is still so much to read and to learn...
It's just something I noticed while I was reading your posts. But maybe it's just my own feeling. :)

Ha! But we don't have such beautiful forests like you have. Tiny, tiny Germany. You could never get lost in any of our woods. Not even in Bavaria.
Isn't that better than the alternative of being a coward who won't stand up against evil men? Check your nationalism at the door, it's a convenient control mechanism. Nation state versus nation state is irrelevant, everything boils down to individual versus institution.

I certainly hope that you are smart enough not to roll over and let them draft you into an unjust cause.
Conscription is just a euphemism for slavery. Enjoy your chains. Hopefully you won't come back a limbless freak or a drooling retard, but if that happens you can never say that you didn't deserve it... strutting around in somebody else's country like you own the place has consequences.
If everyone was a draft dodger, how could big wars be fought? The righteous draft dodger may be the real patriot.
"Why of course the people don't want war. Why should some poor slob on a farm want to risk his life in a war when the best he can get out of it is to come back to his farm in one piece? Naturally the common people don't want war: neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country." -- Hermann Goering

Become a Sovereign and tell them to stick the draft ,because you are no longer a Federal citizen
I didn't think they draft females. [Oh wait, maybe you are male and only your avatar is female.]
there isn't any draft as it stands now.
Why would you think a reinstituted draft would only include men? With all the PC crap the last 50 years or so since the last draft.
We would be hearing cries of "Sexism" left & right.
Baby..., are you giving us cause to doubt your anatomy? It is disturbing to think you are just another swinging d--k!
uh, you pretend to be a young girl on here, you would not be drafted

I turn 21 this Sunday.
so you claim to actually be a girl of 20 who stacks silver and likes Ron Paul?
This is like the loch ness monster of credibility
You're just swimming in the wrong circles Trav. There are many young women more turned on by a silver-hoarding man with a Ron Paul bumper sticker on his car than by a slimy Goldman-Sachs worshipping wall-street banker with a Ferrari and a black metal AmEx offering a weekend in the Hamptons. Extra points for the silver-hoarder Ron Paul supporter if he has read Human Action and can shoot worth a damn.
If it weren't for my older brother, I would have never had a passing interest in any of this stuff.
