Chinese Politburo: "The United States Has Turned Out To Be The Biggest Villain In Our Age"

Tyler Durden's picture




 

You know the U.S. has hit rock bottom not so much when the official mouthpiece of the Chinese politburo accuses America of being the "biggest villain in our age", but when more and more Americans think it may be 100% correct.

From BBC:

China's official Xinhua news agency has condemned the US over continuing revelations about Washington's surveillance activities by intelligence fugitive Edward Snowden.

In a commentary, it said the US had turned out to be the "biggest villain in our age".

Xinhua says the latest allegations in the South China Morning Post, along with previous disclosures, are "clearly troubling signs".

"They demonstrate that the United States, which has long been trying to play innocent as a victim of cyber-attacks, has turned out to be the biggest villain in our age," says Xinhua.

"It owes too an explanation to China and other countries it has allegedly spied on. It has to share with the world the range, extent and intent of its clandestine hacking programs."

Xinhua says the Snowden developments provide support for China's position on cybersecurity.

"Both the United States and China, together with many other countries, are victims of hacking. For the uncharted waters of the Internet age, these countries should sit down and talk through their suspicions," says Xinhua.

"With good intentions, they can even work for the establishment of certain rules that help define and regulate Internet activities and mechanisms that can work out their differences when frictions do arise."

Obummer and the Chinese leaders have an agreement to pursue this Snowden affair so as to help keep both the U.S.and Chinese populations unfocused on their coming economic demise. Putin is also playing his role....several pooches are being wagged.

Putin now sending S-400 surface to air missiles to Syria, in addition to the very capable S-300's already in position.    Quite literally his line in the sand.  The S-400's are considered by the experts to be the absolute best.  Either the Rothschild led psychopaths stop their march eastward (to bring their democracy to the rest of our benighted globe and save lives/sarc) or we are going to see a lot of very bright flashes and big mushrooms.  They will destroy the village in order to save it.

Face it guys, spying on foreign countries has been a necessity since the beginning of time and I hope that we do it better than everyone else.   On the other hand, domestic spying needs to be controlled and used within the law.  The problem is that our political system is as corrupt as our financial system since it is run by the same people.  When government agencies are used to destroy political opposition we are just a few years away from a totalitarian state.

there is no distinction.
in wholesale spying (observation of EVERYTHING)

in trade secrets (business is global)
in "the foreigner" or "the citizen"

this is a global problem of a group of people trying to now seize control over the very system they've helped to wreck..

No wonder the chinese are pissed off. The TPP is about the asian sphere of influence.
It's also a welcome opportunity to them to garner sympathy.
This is the new reality of global business: cartels that stretch beyond the seperate spheres of interest (like banking, agro business, media, militairy, etc.) It's "almost" like the former communist bloc. (which wasn't really communist but hey.. it's all about perception)

it's a mess, and I think they did that on purpose.

I don't think we need to pay any attention to criticism from a country that aggressively spies on its own citizens, imprisons people who speak against the government, lies about pretty much everything from economic statistics to the quality of the food they produce and is run by a political system that pretends to be a democracy while in fact guarantees perpetual rule by a small oligarchy that owns the entire country.

what happens when you draw from incorrect analogies. wall street promoted China as post-war Japan. (recall when the term Made in Japan signified cheap products) when China isn't post-war Japan it's America in the 30's, industrializing. then its a capitalist state (with central planning) not the eastern flipside of Soviet Russia. (Soviet Union collapsed recall) so it was look the other way and make money, with the blessing of elected officials Clinton and Bush, who were bought and paid for, never mind. before China there was the maquiladora in Mexico, which made sense, but the rise of China stopped that cold, Mexico went back into poverty, we had to build a trillion dollar fence (and build it again) to keep them out, so we could subsidize communists at the expense of our catholic neighbors to the south. there's not enough rope ss

The final straw for me was HSBC. Laundering money for the Sinaloa cartel, Iran, and Al Qaeda. The "worst of the worst", according to the official Cheney/Obama narrative. And what happens to the HSBC execs responsible? Nothing. Gov. yawns and simply takes a share of the profits.

The war on drugs? The war on terror? The official narrative was just a psyops aimed at the sheep. Now we have the next psyops: the war on whistleblowers, the war on the Constitution and those who uphold it.

How deep does the corruption go? How thick are the lies? All the way to the basements of Fort Meade.

Nothing new for HSBC - they have a history.

Money. Power. Resources. He who has the Gold makes the rules. Same as it ever was.

One thing that is changing however, is that despite great odds and an abysmal general education system, more and more are starting to wake up. Especially the younger generation.

Obama is one giant loon...

In his original campaign for the presidency, he asserted that he would be open and transparent and it was clear to the world that he offered America to rejoin the ranks of the civilised world, after Bush had caused so such damage to the nation's global image and respect.

Yet here we are, as president in office he is outdoing Bush at damaging America and its global image. He's turning the office of POTUS into a laughing stock. Most damaging of all is that we know he does not speak for all of America. It's past time that he woke up, got a grip and took some very serious and urgent action to sort out the mess of his own making. Or be impeached for violating the American Constitution which he took an oath to uphold.

Cyber Weapons and Warfare development will follow the same path as nuclear weapons. First, everyone wants it to dominate and control their enemies. Inevitably, everyone will eventually have it via legitimate and illegitimate tech transfer. Then we’ll decide it’s too dangerous for anyone to have and spend the next eon and ten times as much as we spent to develop it in the first place trying in vain to prevent our greatest enemies from using it against us.

Brilliant, if your goal was to keep the NSA employed forever.


If only Stanley Kubrick were still around to make a cyber-sequel to Dr. Strangelove. Alas, everyone would probably go see World War Z and its recently announced sequel instead, because you know, zombies are just sooo cool.

Actually, domestic spying is the least of our problems.  We only have 1 1/2 political parties in the US since half of the Republicans are RINOs!  The government agencies, educational system and media is controlled by this party.  The educational system and media make sure that the voters remain ignorant and blame all the failures on the remaining 1/2 party and allied conservative groups.  I really don't see this ending well for a country based on the original constitution and bill of rights.

I agree. These have been settled issues for a long time. The aggressive push for gun control, gay marriage and secularization has forced the strong and loyal into fighting battles that should never have surfaced. In the mean time while being forced into resisting this huge attack on culture the world has been stolen beneath our feet. I wonder if the NSA is behind all the gay marriage referendums, gun control initiatives and supposed ACLU attacks on public symbols of piety...

How to identify CIA limited hangout op? | Dr. Webster G. Tarpley

Tue Jun 18, 2013

 

The operations of secret intelligence agencies aiming at the manipulation of public opinion generally involve a combination of cynical deception with the pathetic gullibility of the targeted populations.

There is ample reason to believe that the case of Edward Joseph Snowden fits into this pattern. We are likely dealing here with a limited hangout operation, in which carefully selected and falsified documents and other materials are deliberately revealed by an insider who pretends to be a fugitive rebelling against the excesses of some oppressive or dangerous government agency. 

But the revelations turn out to have been prepared with a view to shaping the public consciousness in a way which is advantageous to the intelligence agency involved. At the same time, gullible young people can be duped into supporting a personality cult of the leaker, more commonly referred to as a “whistleblower.” A further variation on the theme can be the attempt of the sponsoring intelligence agency to introduce their chosen conduit, now posing as a defector, into the intelligence apparatus of a targeted foreign government. In this case, the leaker or whistleblower attains the status of a triple agent.

. . .

Assange’s Wikileaks document dump triggered numerous destabilizations and coups d’état across the globe. Not one US, British, or Israeli covert operation or politician was seriously damaged by this material. The list of those impacted instead bears a striking resemblance to the CIA enemies’ list: the largest group of targets were Arab leaders slated for immediate ouster in the wave of “Arab Spring.” Here we find Ben Ali of Tunisia, Qaddafi of Libya, Mubarak of Egypt, Saleh of Yemen, and Assad of Syria. The US wanted to replace Maliki with Allawi as prime minister of Iraq, so the former was targeted, as was the increasingly independent Karzai of Afghanistan. Perennial targets of the CIA included Rodriguez Kirchner of Argentina, Berlusconi of Italy, and Putin of Russia. Berlusconi soon fell victim to a coup organized through the European Central Bank, while his friend Putin was able to stave off a feeble attempt at color revolution in early 2012. Mildly satiric jabs at figures like Merkel of Germany and Sarkozy of France were included primarily as camouflage. 

Assange thus had a hand in preparing one of the largest destabilization campaigns mounted by Anglo-American intelligence since 1968, or perhaps even 1848. 

 

If the Snowden operation can help coerce the vacillating and reluctant Obama to attack Syria, our new autistic hero may claim credit for starting a general war in the Middle East, and perhaps even more. If Snowden can further poison relations between United States and China, the world historical significance of his provocations will be doubly assured. But none of this can occur unless he finds vast legions of eager dupes ready to fall for his act. We hope he won’t.

In this morning's Radio news (Melbourne) there was an item covering the current spat between the US and China. Seems that the US High Command are a litte upset that China didn't roll over and deport Mr Snowden like good little lackeys, rather thay did what was in their interests (and I'd argue Global interests) and ensured his departur3e to "locations unknown".

I particularly liked the comment that "by doing this China has severely damaged the development of mutual trust".

So, it's OK for the US to hack into Chinese (and everyone else's) telecoms and IT infrastructure - this obviously has no effect on "mutual trust" - but Heaven forbid anyone that dares to show just how much trust abuse the US doles out.

This is beyond jaw-dropping hypocrisy. This is the mindset "we do whatever we like Woldwide and no-one else may even slightly inconvenience us".

Looking forward to seeing what other leaks Mr Snowden releases. Hope these do just as much damage to the facade of "Global Superhero", and maybe a few million others will start to wake

When the US releases tripe like this - you know everyone else is having a good laugh - and the World in supporting China for their stand against Global Terrorism - the US variety.

http://bigpondnews.com/articles/World/2013/06/25/Snowden_damaged_US-China_relations_882587.html

Wonder what would happen to the US "economy" should the Chinese decide to offload all those T-Bills? "First" World to Third World in the blink of an eye, and don't expect your "friends" to help out - America's "pissed in their Porridge" too many times in the past.
