CFR Says China Must Be Defeated And TPP Is Essential To That
Wall Street's Council on Foreign Relations has issued a major report, alleging that China must be defeated because it threatens to become a bigger power in the world than the U.S.
This report, which is titled “Revising U.S. Grand Strategy Toward China,” is introduced by Richard Haass, the CFR’s President, who affirms the report’s view that, "no relationship will matter more when it comes to defining the twenty-first century than the one between the United States and China.”
Haass gives this report his personal imprimatur by saying that it "deserves to become an important part of the debate about U.S. foreign policy and the pivotal U.S.-China relationship.” He acknowledges that some people won’t agree with the views it expresses.
The report itself then opens by saying: "Since its founding, the United States has consistently pursued a grand strategy focused on acquiring and maintaining preeminent power over various rivals, first on the North American continent, then in the Western hemisphere, and finally globally.” It praises "the American victory in the Cold War.” It then lavishes praise on America’s imperialistic dominance: "The Department of Defense during the George H.W. Bush administration presciently contended that its 'strategy must now refocus on precluding the emergence of any potential future global competitor'—thereby consciously pursuing the strategy of primacy that the United States successfully employed to outlast the Soviet Union.”
The rest of the report is likewise concerned with the international dominance of America’s aristocracy or the people who control this country’s international corporations, rather than with the welfare of the public or as the U.S. Constitution described the objective of the American Government: “the general welfare.”
The Preamble, or sovereignty clause, in the Constitution, presented that goal in this broader context: "in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity.”
The Council on Foreign Relations, as a representative of Wall Street, is concerned only with the dominance of America’s aristocracy. Their new report, about “Revising U.S. Grand Strategy Toward China,” is like a declaration of war by America’s aristocracy, against China’s aristocracy. This report has no relationship to the U.S. Constitution, though it advises that the U.S. Government pursue this “Grand Strategy Toward China” irrespective of whether doing that would even be consistent with the U.S. Constitution’s Preamble.
The report repeats in many different contexts the basic theme, that China threatens “hegemonic” dominance in Asia. For example:
“China’s sustained economic success over the past thirty-odd years has enabled it to aggregate formidable power, making it the nation most capable of dominating the Asian continent and thus undermining the traditional U.S. geopolitical objective of ensuring that this arena remains free of hegemonic control.”
The report never allows the matter of America’s “hegemonic control” to be even raised. Thus, “hegemony” is presumed to be evil and to be something that the U.S. must block other nations from having, because there is a "traditional U.S. geopolitical objective of ensuring that this arena remains free of hegemonic control.” In other words: the U.S. isn’t being “hegemonic” by defeating aspiring hegemons. The report offers no term to refer to “hegemony” that’s being practiced by the U.S.
The report presents China as being supremacist, such as what (to quote again from the report) "historian Wang Gungwu has described as a 'principle of superiority’ underwriting Beijing’s 'long-hallowed tradition of treating foreign countries as all alike but unequal and inferior to China.’ Consistent with this principle, Henry Kissinger, describing the traditional sinocentric system, has correctly noted that China 'considered itself, in a sense, the sole sovereign government of the world.’” America’s own ‘Manifest Destiny’ or right to regional (if not global) supremacy is not discussed, because supremacism is attributed only to the aristocracies in other countries, not to the aristocracy in this country.
Rather than the “general welfare,” this document emphasizes "U.S. Vital National Interests,” which are the interests of America’s aristocrats, the owners of America’s large international corporations.
This report urges:
"The United States should invest in defense capabilities and capacity specifically to defeat China’s emerging anti-access capabilities and permit successful U.S. power projection even against concerted opposition from Beijing. … Congress should remove sequestration caps and substantially increase the U.S. defense budget.”
In other words: the Government should spiral upward the U.S. debt even more vertically (which is good for Wall Street), and, in order to enable the increased ‘defense’ expenditures, only ‘defense’ expenditures should be freed from spending-caps. Forget the public, serve the owners of ‘defense’ firms and of the large international corporations who rely on the U.S. military to protect their property abroad.
The report says that China would have no reason to object to such policies: “There is no reason why a China that did not seek to overturn the balance of power in Asia should object to the policy prescriptions contained in this report.” Only a “hegemonic” China (such as the report incessantly alleges to exist, while the U.S. itself is not ‘hegemonic’) would object; and, therefore, the U.S. should ignore China’s objections, because they would be, by definition ‘hegemonic.’ Or, in other words: God is on our side, not on theirs.
"Washington simply cannot have it both ways—to accommodate Chinese concerns regarding U.S. power projection into Asia through 'strategic reassurance' and at the same time to promote and defend U.S. vital national interests in this vast region.”
The authors make clear that U.S. President Obama is not sufficiently hostile toward China: "All signs suggest that President Obama and his senior colleagues have a profoundly different and much more benign diagnosis of China’s strategic objectives in Asia than do we.”
Furthermore, the report ends by portraying Obama as weak on the anti-China front: "Many of these omissions in U.S. policy would seem to stem from an administration worried that such actions would offend Beijing and therefore damage the possibility of enduring strategic cooperation between the two nations, thus the dominating emphasis on cooperation. That self-defeating preoccupation by the United States based on a long-term goal of U.S.-China strategic partnership that cannot be accomplished in the foreseeable future should end.”
The report’s "Recommendations for U.S. Grand Strategy Toward China” urges Congress to "Deliver on the Trans-Pacific Partnership, … as a geoeconomic answer to growing Chinese economic power and geopolitical coercion in Asia,” but it fails to mention that the Obama Administration has already embodied the authors’ viewpoint and objectives in the TPP, which Obama created, and which cuts China out; it could hardly be a better exemplar of their agenda. The authors, in fact, state the exact opposite: that Obama’s objective in his TPP has instead been merely "as a shot in the arm of a dying Doha Round at the World Trade Organization (WTO).” They even ignore that Obama had cut China out of his proposed TPP.
Furthermore, here is what President Obama himself told graduating West Point cadets on 28 May 2014:
"Russia’s aggression toward former Soviet states unnerves capitals in Europe, while China’s economic rise and military reach worries its neighbors. From Brazil to India, rising middle classes compete with us, and governments seek a greater say in global forums.” He was saying that these future military leaders will be using guns and bombs to enforce America’s economic dominance. This is the same thing that the CFR report is saying.
His speech also asserted: “I believe in American exceptionalism with every fiber of my being. … The United States is and remains the one indispensable nation. That has been true for the century passed and it will be true for the century to come.” (That even resembles: “Henry Kissinger, describing the traditional sinocentric system, has correctly noted that China 'considered itself, in a sense, the sole sovereign government of the world.’” Obama is, in a sense, saying that America is the “sole sovereign government in the world.”)
He made clear that China is “dispensable,” and that the U.S. must stay on top.
However, there is a difference between Obama and the CFR on one important thing: Obama sees Russia as the chief country over which the U.S. must dominate militarily, and China as the chief country to dominate economically. But in that regard, he is actually old-line Republican, just like his 2012 opponent Mitt Romney is. The only difference from Romney on that is: Obama wasn’t so foolish as to acknowledge publicly a belief that he shared with Romney but already knew was an unpopular position to take in the general election.
Furthermore, whereas the CFR report ignores the public’s welfare, Obama does give lip-service to that as being a matter of concern (just as he gave lip-service to opposing Romney’s assertion that Russia is “our number one geopolitical foe”). After all, he is a ‘Democrat,’ and the authors of the CFR report write instead as if they were presenting a Republican Party campaign document. No ‘Democrat’ can be far-enough to the political right to satisfy Republican operatives. The pretense that they care about the public is therefore far less, because the Republican Party is far more open about its support of, by, and for, the super-rich. Mitt Romney wasn’t the only Republican who had contempt for the lower 47%. But even he tried to deny that he had meant it. In that sense, the CFR’s report is a Republican document, one which, quite simply, doesn’t offer the public the lip-service that Obama does (and which he politically must, in order to retain support even within his own party).
Perhaps on account of the CFR report’s condemning Obama for not being sufficiently right-wing — even though he is actually a conservative Republican on all but social issues (where China policy isn’t particularly relevant) — the report has received no mention in the mainstream press, ever since it was originally issued, back in March of this year. For whatever reason, America’s ‘news’ media ignored the report, notwithstanding its importance as an expression of old-style imperialistic thinking that comes from what many consider to be the prime foreign-affairs mouthpiece of America’s aristocracy — the CFR. The report’s first coverage was on 2 May 2015 at the World Socialist Web Site, which briefly paraphrased it but didn’t even link to it. Then, two days later, Stephen Lendman wrote about the CFR report. He briefly paraphrased it and passionately condemned it. He did link to the report. But he didn’t note the WSWS article, which had first informed the public of the CFR report’s existence — an existence which, until the WSWS article, all of America’s ‘press’ had simply ignored.
The present article is the first one to quote the CFR report, instead of merely to paraphrase and attack it. The quotations that were selected are ones presenting the report’s main points, so that readers here can see these points stated as they were written, rather than merely as I have interpreted them. My interpretation is in addition to, rather than a substitute for, what the report itself says.

They are fast tracking this abomination through congress and won't even let us read it. Believe me, it's written to completely subvert the sovereignty of the US. All of congress needs to be brought up on charges of Treason! If it is so great, LET US READ IT!!!!!
One hundred percent correct in calling it WallStreet's CFR...
Say goodbye to your sovereignty of nations, their currencies, and their governments.....
Say hello to Globalization & One World Order....

Clinton, while signing the NAFTA bill, stated that "NAFTA means jobs. American jobs, and good-paying American jobs. If I didn't believe that, I wouldn't support this agreement."
Scoreboard since 1994 says?
US population +59 million (+20% more Americans)
US manufacturing jobs -5 million (-30% fewer manufacturing jobs)
US debt +$13.4 Trillion (debt to GDP from 64% to 101%)
Real median household income up $1,750 or $83 dollars a year increase ($50.2k to $51.9k)
US corporate profits (after tax) up from $386 b to $1.8 trillion (+475%)
(btw - this is in no way promoting the Republican sellouts as a viable alternative...just stating facts).
Somehow seems the TPP is likely to only accelerate these trends.

You obviously don't get it.
This is supposed to keep world war three at bay.
You either get his or world war three.
Its an offer you cannot refuse.
that's what I call closing the barn doors after the horses have run away.
are you CFR freaks really that out of touch? or is this some kind of new psyops?
it's all over but the crying, boys, but what is really puzzling to a useless eater is why you really care at all. certainly, you've got your diamonds, your matisses, your gold and mansions, but it's never enough, is it? no, what you really would miss is the power, isn't it? but it's not like you fought your way to power like a Genghis Khan or something respectable like that. no, you are thieves and cheaters who can't win a fair fight, so you fix it in your favor and then feel very proud. you are the type who would rather shoot fish in a barrell than go out to sea with a rod and a reel.
in other words: YOU ARE ALL COWARDS
So far all CFR characters turned out to be nothing short of amateurish inbred morons. I doubt that the Chinese are too worried about their noises... though they might have a good time occasionally, listening to their lunacies.
More to the point (pg 23):
"...Nothing would better promote the United States’ strategic future and grand strategy toward China than robust economic growth in the United States. Recent economic data suggests some optimism in that regard...." LOL !
QED !!!
okay...okay....I finally stopped laughing. Did someone from the CFR actually infer with a straight face, that the biggest threat China poses to the US is it's military, and to combat that threat we should borrow a few trillion more dollars!!
CFR....brought to you by....THE MILITARY INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX
Yes they did, for reasons explained above...
Collection of Fucked-up Retards.
anti... means imply but is generally on track.
CFR is another Zionist outlet.
The CFR. These would be of the same criminal class that shipped the better part of our manufacturing and associated GDP to China in the first place, right?
As a young man I never predicted that shameless lying, across the board, would become the rule.
Precisely, these are not people who have a vision of a better foreign policy for the American people.
This is a den of lizards, founded by David Bilderfellars family, to find ever increasing ways to skew American foreign policy in such a manner as to fatten the bank accounts of the oligarchs of the upper East Side. Hence it makes perfect Kissingerian sense to ship all of America's manufacturing prowess to its supposed chief rival, so long as it buys MIC enabling T-Bills.
It makes further sense to stoke fascist tendencies in Japan in order to provoke another military conflict for the MIC to gorge on.
At this point everything is indeed transparent only because you can see straight though it.
No wonder the CFR has an Upper East Side zipcode.

So true, but only half the story -- JP put his two cents into its founding as well.
CFR report has Neocon Richard Hass thinking throughout. Ironic that Nixon/Kissinger opened up China to undermine USSR and in the end it undermined the US and created an economic/financial deficit catastrophy. Now we have two major rivals--China and Russia. So much for exceptionalism.
TPP is necessary so that China will Win.
Part of the NWO Banksters plan to destroy the USA
so that Jews can rule the world.
Aren't they doing that now?
I think there will likely be a power struggle on the European side of the fence, but knowing the elite, this result in a lot of population control, and that will entail many people dying.... (I can see it all about to escalate now.)
zionists and yes they are.
but they are doing all one can imagine to give birth to the antithesis (vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle, And what rough beast, its hour come round at last, Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?).
You prolly have noticed that the Jews have never ever told anyone what they were chosen to do.

It is much, much worse than simply lying. These baby-eating luciferian demons have succeeded only in creating a living hell requiring that the rest of humanity must suffer through. Fortunately, this isn't our final home, we're just passing through.
But for them, it will only degrade into a very real hell that they have trapped themselves into and where there is no escape. Sad really.
Unfortunately the bad guys don't play fair, there will all sorts of shit released on humanity as a reult too.. =(
I did.

Then we eat each other

It doesn't help to say that...either.
PS, who give's a flying fuck what those asshats at the CFR think? Who the hell are they to set policy or even have a voice? Does anyone know how to get on that committee? Let them run for election if they want to set policy.
Think tanks like the CFR (and others) along with the foundations which support them are the policy makers...the shadow government. To get on the committee, you must be vetted by the higher authorities.

Those "asshats" have been running the US government, media "think" tanks, corporate board rooms and all other important institutions in the US since the 1930's, predating your birth I assume.

Seriously? That's about the nuttiest sentence I've read in my life.
The Council on Foreign Relations, as a representative of Wall Street, is concerned only with the dominance of America’s aristocracy.
you missed this sentence... its really cute

Go back to the Eisenhower Minimum. No need for large occupation oriented armies in the 21st century. Massive nuclear deterrence is the only way to shrink the Military Industrial Complex and tell the plebeians they're safe without utterly bankrupting whats left of Amuurica's wealth.
The U.S. can't even make its own transformers anymore, so all China has to do is not supply them.
E.M.P. nukes at high altitude over the U.S., then say "so solly, awl out of stock!".
"Just In Time" genocide.
The Preamble, or sovereignty clause, in the Constitution, presented that goal in this broader context: "in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity."
The sovereignty clause???
The Preamble is simply a preamble. Otherwise you get silly statements like: "as the U.S. Constitution described the objective of the American Government: “the general welfare.”"
Edit: as to the CFR - simply sounds like a regurgitation of the Grand Chessboard. They laid this out years ago.
the main plot is there is no coherent plot,
that remains the central plot and plan;
and we sorrow that this does not satisfy?
.
oh, there is a main plot.
the plot is to destroy personal,
local and national sovereignty once
and for all; rename it terrorism
and insanity. aka, chaos and slavery to
the whims of unknown tyrants from near and afar.

The Blood never Dried. A Peoples History of the British Empire
''John Newswinger decodes Anglophile rhetoric which glorifies the true costs of British Imperilialism.......
> "Giving independence to India" was the result of a long anti-colonial struggle. After WWII the British could not maintain control. PR spin would like the world to beleive all was done on British terms i.e.,coaching Indians to "govern themselves".
> Until the late 50's, Struggles ensued between the British & US over control of colonial possessions. Attempts were made to develop nuclear weapons independent from US technology. The Brits gave the program up & allied thmesleves with the USA. Often mainstream british/american Historians depict the struggle as a Cold War Struggle USA V USSR e.g., Nasser was intitially supported by the CIA to depose British puppet King Farouk.
Newswinder sites several case studies of British rule,including Ireland, Middle East, the Carribean & Africa
Very interesting read. I highly recommend this book. Lessons could be learned for the future of Pax Americana as well. If history tells us anything Empires always fall & create an unstable environment with violence & instability.''

The CFR report assumes that the TPP simply needs to pass the US Congress. There are many Asian nations doing big business with China who may not be willing to sign in the end. The AIIB, along with other Chinese initiatives, may offer more for them than the TPP (nice timing on China's part) tying them to a declining empire for generations.
You are close, but in reality Asia and China are red herrings. They are to keep people looking "over there," while Zion bends us "over here."
Liberty is a demand. Tyranny is submission.
"Don't believe the hype. It's Zionist tripe."
IMHO, building of Thorium liquid-salt reactors and concomitant Fischer-Tropsch process liquid synth fuels production facilities would be a better investment of Taxpayer funds.
Cheap renewable electricity and liquid petroleum alternatives will just as valuable for the US Military as it will for the domestic economy.
Solving US economic dependence on imported petroleum will also crush the price of crude and the foreign despots that control the majority of the petroleum resources with it.
...and cheapen energy for all other economies left trapped in the outdated petro-economics paradigm...
Thorium liquid-salt nuclear is an economic/security triple play or better: cheap electricity and a by-product gasoline/diesel/heating oil replacement infrastructure, depression of crude prices cheapen costs for petroleum users resulting in production costs deflation...
At the end of the day it's more about cheap energy than printing dollars that fuels a growing economy.
On the other hand there are vested interests in the conventional nuclear and thermal coal industries that can buy a lot of political clout to keep it from happening.
One day these jokers want a NWO and the next day they don't. My guess is that it's all merely about the oligarchs coming terms for the division of the spoils.
The difference between a functioning clean renewable Thorium/Fischer-Tropsch economy and a resource constrained and pollutive petroleum/fired coal economy will be as stark as Jetsons and Flintstones...
Throium plants can also burn nuclear wastes for fuel and solve the dangerously unresolved problem of what to do with tons of conventional nuclear cycle 'waste' as well...
Oh, so is their latest excuse to pass TPP? You watch, they pass it and it will more likely finish what NAFTA started.
I guess if the motherfuckers would let us read the gdm thing we would know, huh?
You are wise.
Liberty is a demand. Tyranny is submission.
In case you didn't know, the Council Of Foreign Relations is the real power behind the presidency.
Obama merely dances as instructed and then heads out to the golf course.
Sorry, but Zion "is the real power behind the presidency."
The CFR is just Zion's branch management team.
Liberty is a demand. Tyranny is submission.
so, I "grokked" that I'm a slave, i.e. Morpheus to Neo, but they were on Team Zion and it seemed like the Architect was not pleased with Neo, Morpheus, Trinity & Team Zion....There is still much to learn about the MATRIX....shine the Light, please :)

Based on my reading the TPP is just another step toward world governmnet by Zion, and a further step in demolishing the plundered DC US and American Country.
But, then I could be wrong.
Liberty is a demand. Tyranny is submission.
There seems to be only 3 of the dozens of articles in the TPP which are trade related. The rest, as you say, merely establishes a regional supranational authority with powers that negate sovereignty in the member states. The so-called "stakeholders" in the negotiations are corporate lawyers, lobbyists, and bankers even though it will change life for a fourth of the planet's population. The Atlantic version of the TPP is currently in negotiations.
It seems like the CFR is a bit too late. Their greed pedicted their downfall. No CFR or NWO can survive a banksters greed. They are like people that have lost their path because of their actions and now find that there is no way back. They thought lawlessness would allow them to gather more money and make them more powerful instead it has left them in the past as the future moves on without them.
Arrest them. Arrest Lloyd Blankfein. Shut down Goldman Sachs. Arrest Jamie Dimon too.
Yes. Yes. If only The Great Unwashed would give a damn.
The traitors and the dual-citizens who have hijacked this country are putting the American people in the path of extinction.
Anybody can make a plan. Getting it implemented is something else. I for one have no intention of getting on a train for Auschwitz.

The rats are going down with the ship they ate their way through. Good.
This is the biggest 'POS' foray of obtuse propagandized 'BS' I've ever read. Period!
Truths, half truths, and outright lies spun in a NWO centrifuge!
Ever since Nixon sent Kissinger (Mr. Constructive Ambiguity?) to China, preparing for his first of many visits with Mao in 1972,... the Chinese have been on a tear! Bush #43 welcomes China into the WTO on Dec. 11, 2001, exactly three[3] months after 9/11 ? WTF!?!
Victoria Nuland single-handedly pushes Russia into China's arms, and now we have a formidable-alliance with ~4x the population and ~4x the land mass of an isolated USSA? Why?
Since the 70s, the NWO had set-n-stone China as the Giant-Yellow-Race-CARD[?]' in control of this shrinking giant dwarf of a linear sphere. All that was missing was Russia untying the proverbial 'Gordian-Eurasian-Knot'!-- in which the CFR & Co. Nuland pro-created.
It unbelievable for me to make this statement, but... looking at all the USSSs foreign policy blunders with baby Bush doubling the US debt in two-terms to ~$8 tn, and Obama doubling Bush's debt to ~ $16 Tn, with the next two-term ([or, one term per president in times of turmoil? each 4 years [?]) doubling the deficit to ~$32tn-- we are burnt-toasted BANKRUPT'd!
Ye`all know what happens to a country that defaults on its debt?
Summary: America has been set-up to fail, by our last nine presidents, since Kennedy's assaination!
Think Johnson, Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan, Bush#41, Clinton, Bush#43, Obama, and the next female[?latino] president that will shake-n-bake what's left of a once 'Great Country'?!?
But, remember the #11 which is symbolically a ominous omen could very well mean a Thatcher? and, a Latino...[?]
That's all... over
Bombs Away:-)
The CFR needs to update their name to something a little more precise, like, "The Council for Military and Petroleum Contracts" or "The Council for Foreign Invasions" or "The Council of Important Assholes."
CFR- Completely Fuck the Republic
Please nuke China right now before it's too late. The guys who created the Fed created the CFR in the following year right after the Fed. Interestingly, the guy who was there to supervise Nixon's first China visit in person also happens to be the Honorary Chairman of the CFR. here is the link: http://www.cfr.org/staff/b987
Wasn't that long ago the dearies at CFR were taking action so that the 'arrogant' 'unilateral' USA would get out of the way and make room for a new multipolar world allowing up-and-comers like China to be equal players, hence, WTO and "Most Favored Nation" status, etc.
That was back in the Clinton-Rubin days. So, where is Herr Rubin now? Co-Chair of the CFR and Bilderberger star member, of course. The worm has turned.
The United States of America is in the shitter because of the overarching hubris of the Council on Foreign Relations, and they motherfucking well know it too. Frankly, the Council on Foreign Relations is a fully defunct entity, and O'Bummer, and the Whore House advisors, know full well that the CFR is antiquated, overtly fascist, and damaging to the reputation of the USA on an internationalist basis. What is manifesting here is a last gasp for political air that the CFR is not going to get when brighter Americans than the NeoCONs set their minds to the task of diplomacy rather than World War Three. The USA cannot afford to act aggressively on the World stage because the entire Global village is at the ready to slap American politicians down if they even think of attempting any of the lunacy proposed by the CFR, or their minions.
The days of American supremacy are finished forever for the Russian Federation, China, and India. The USA is a fully insolvent bankrupt country with a so-called 'ruling class' that is slowly starting to realize that they don't matter anymore, and the jig is up. America is viewed as a failed hegemonic state with no future aside from being a necropolis once the entirety of the metropolis decays from the poor vision that was promulgated by the Council on Foreign Relations to begin with. In brief, the CFR hubris and hegemony has already destroyed the USA from within. World leaders are well aware of that fact and the bluster emanating out of the CFR.
NOTE: American Banksters can start leaping from tall buildings if they really believe they are SUPERMAN for all I fucking give a rat's ass.
JUMP motherfuckers!
JUMP!!
Speaking as a China Hand since 1984, I have forgotten more about China than most of these MTV generation CFR control freaks will ever know.
China is an ancient civilization with a deep set of cultural values and mythology that most outsiders will never know.
If it helps, think of China as Israel, but with a billion grinning Zionists.
If you are not part of the tribe then you are a fish in the sea. A barbarian at the Wall. A crumb on the table.
The West's "engagement" strategy has been fun. A fantasy that somehow all those US companies and banks would be selling INTO China.
Put despite its 100 year spiritual depression, China still plays Chess instead of Checkers.
China, Inc. is also in favor of the TPP because any increased outside influence helps support its iridescent desires and other seething nationalism. You could nuke half the country and nobody would notice.
If they are building islands to defend the Spratlys what is the next 100 years going to bring?
Take note to the way the British spirited away with China's silver via the Opium Wars. The same model is already in effect between the US and China for the last 20 years.
What will the next 20 bring?
The CPS reads these CFR missives and just laughs.
When the machines return to the USA you know folks are serious about countering China.
Until then, it seems the CFR and the idiot few that smoke that hopium of injecting inflation to break China into pieces are children truly lost in the wilderness.
TPP is about a global corporatocracy, which China already plays just fine.
"CFR Says EU Must Be Defeated And TTIP Is Essential To That".
Well, the EU is already defeated but must be controlled. TTIP will do that for ya.
If I was China (and I am not), based on the CFR's words, I would look at the American aristocracy as a potenial threat and consider ways of possibly eliminating that threat. Once eliminated the two countries could co-exist in a mutually beneficial relationship.
Never heard of that Haass guy, but he strikes me as a moron of the first class.
"The United States should invest in defense capabilities and capacity specifically to defeat China’s emerging anti-access capabilities"
Should US invest eeven more money than it do now? The Military Lobby is completely crazy.
The biggest trouble for Peace is called United States of America.
The Military Industrial Complex are all listed in Wall St.. All are for profit and riches of their CEO.. We are pretty much screwed when our bullets and missiles cost 10 times more than what the China and Russia produce. We will go bankrupt with defense budget if we don;t address the cost equation.
Yeah, and when OUR economy collapses, we'll all be using Yuan in our black markets because our dollar won't be worth shit.
The good news is that TPTB won't admit defeat until the very end, so you can all pay off your debts with soon-to-be-worthless dollars.
Criminal Fuc#ing Retards
Citizen Fuc#ing Rapist
Criminal Front Racket
CFR members and past members should have there pensions and assets stripped prior to prison for treason.
America seems fixated on starting wars anywhere it can in the world and fighting imaginary terrorist threats internally and externally around the world, anything to allow its Military to bribe congress into increasing its defense budget yet again.
As part of this the US is also busy carrying out economic terrorism worldwide, I don't particularly mind as there is nothing any of us can do about it, but I would love to come back in 200 years and see what they have done to the world by then.
TPP is neofascist crap. This is crap even for CFR. Crap, crap, crap.
China is “dispensable,” and that the U.S. ...
Oh pulease... Obama is dispensible. This guy is such a douche bag.
Too little too late, you sold all your major economic and manufacturing for cheaper consumables, you cannot turn back time on this one, just go have a walk through Detroit, that's your future, with the only lights on at Wall St and Fed Reserve whoring the fake ponzi market.
Here is part of the tpp, frame work, and analysis.

Asian and other Pacific nations need to sign on to TPP for it to be worth anything. Other than Australia, Canada, NZ and Japan, most won't.
"China must be defeated because it threatens to become a bigger power in the world than the U.S."
neo-con fascist crap.
brought to you by the same folks that supporting the 3rd reich.
all exceptional americans.
The amusing thing is that both sides in that cartoon are getting a figment of their own imaginations and pretend to themselves it is significant. Both sides are thoroughly completely deluded. What each really wants is the products they can trade for that, which they actually need. The exchange mechanism is of no consequence in the trade, it is just a means to enable the trade to be settled in the most simple and rapid convenient way (hence in exchangable digits now). It is the trade that people really want, and need. That's what makes you feel 'affluent' and seem 'rich', or well to do. You can have all the paper or PM bars that you want, or can accrue, but if no one wants to trade for those, or finds them too inconvenient, you're not 'rich' at all, you are simply broke and totally deluded that you are not, for now.
It's what you have, and also can trade, in a market, and deliver, that matters.
Absolutely typical of a fucking arrogant fucking jew boy.
this us precisely the type to round ip and stuff in a fucking gas oven when it all comes crashing down. Andd its cunts like this that cause all the crashing
"State sovereignty must be altered in globalized era. In the age of globalization, states should give up some sovereignty to world bodies in order to protect their own interests"
Richard Haass (2006).

There it is from the horses mouth - TPP is about giving up sovereignty.
Even better, it appears that an anti-Israel boycott provision has appeared in TPP.

What made China the country it is today?
The US and the West off-shoring all its manufacturing there.
Do those in charge have even the slightest idea what they are doing?
Wall Street's Council on Foreign Relations cannot see the biggest danger to the US because ......
That danger is Wall Street.
Wall Street's first suicide mission in 2008 nearly took down the US and the Western financial system.
Now derivatives are backed by US tax payers, Wall Street's next suicide attempt will take the US with it.
So we ship all our jobs to China and than moan that they are growing strong.
What a dumb country we are.
The US economy exists at China's pleasure. Nothing in my house has made in the USA stamped on it. These guys are some seriously arrogant dickheads to count US factories overseas as US economic power, and then make an assault against country that actually owns these factories.
TPP was always about a feeble and pathetic attempt at "isolating" China. The famous "pivot" towards Asia.
America's rulers are behaving like spoilt little bitches, feeling "entitled" to poke their unwanted noses all over the world.
How dare China project power in its own backyard!
How dare Russia stand up to our attempt at destabilizing Ukraine!
How dare Iran pursue a nuclear deterrent!
How dare Al Qaeda go against us (after we funded and trained them)!
US has already lost a whgile ago. US is in debt to the neck with CHina, US gold reserves go down and China go up. US is going out in a whimper. The CFR guy has not realized that the United States has been destroyed from within by the Financial Aristocracy.... funny.
If the elite were serious about hurting China economically they would have pulled all the jobs from there and brought them back home where they belong. To me it sounds like they are afraid that China may seize their assets in the same way that they stole it from us the American people.
All the elite really want is to force us the poor to pay for their own protection. They are so pathetic and greedy that like Socrates said they won't even bother to spend one penny for their defence. When I say defense I mean the companies that are located in places like China which in my opinion deserve no protection whatsoever from the USA. After all they are expatriots.
"Since its founding, the United States has consistently pursued a grand strategy focused on acquiring and maintaining preeminent power over various rivals, .." And now it's over.
Every disease will sooner or later kill the carrier or be cured. The Anglozionazi Empire of Chaos, its alpha tribe slash money changing sect and snaggle tooth employer of sub working class ghouls-Petnacon Kill Industries are all getting by on borrowed time.
Go gently into the night like the Britlander Empire before you or be destroyed.
Who is CFR kidding? Like GATT and NAFTA, TTP will further rape and pillage U.S. economy.
