America's unenviable situation in relation to China is a mess of our own making, or more accurately, a mess made by Wall
Street, with the help of their bought and paid for political whores in
Washington. They justified the uprooting of America's manufacturing base and
the outsourcing of American jobs to China and elsewhere with the promise
that this "Free Trade", as the Wall Street Capitalists like to call this
criminal act, would be good for the American worker. As it has turned
out, this was nothing but a pack of lies.
The gigantic imbalance of
trade, especially with China, is proof that
this nonsense called "Free Trade" has failed miserably. The only
Americans profiting from this dismal state of affairs are the
Corporate thieves who engineered this obscene sell-out in the first
place., while the average working man is rapidly losing his standard of
living.

The corrupt economic and political leadership of the United States must be ousted and replaced with those whose priorities are that of the American people, not Wall Street nor any of the myriad domestic and foreign lobbies which presently influence policy making in Washington.
Nothing short of this will save us from endless war, economic ruin, and martial law imposed by the corporate-fascists in Washington and their rubber stamp Congress.

And while the politicians pontificate about National Security,
American Dollars flood into China, enabling the Communist dictatorship
(that's right folks, the same tyrants who control things with zero
tolerance for dissent, remember the Tiananmen Square massacre?) to build
the Peoples Liberation Army into a modern fighting force second to none.
When the Chinese communists finally move to take back Taiwan, having only waited
this long to build up their amphibious capability, should the US
dare to oppose them our .military will find itself on the receiving end
this time. No cakewalk like Grenada, Panama, Bosnia, or Iraq, but a
major military power with modern weapons and inexhaustible manpower
reserves.

The US military locked horns with the Chinese Peoples Army
during the Korean War in the early 1950s. They attacked us at the Chosen
Reservoir in North Korea, which precipitated the longest retreat of US
Forces in American military history. They fought us to a standstill in
Korea with basic weaponry and no air force to speak of.
A conventional
war with China would entail massive casualties on both sides -- hundreds
of thousands of Americans and Chinese would be killed and wounded in a
very short time, fighting for control of the vast reserves of oil in the
Middle East. With America's manufacturing infrastructure no longer
capable of supporting a major war such as it did in World War II,
American military forces would be at a definite disadvantage, suffering
from shortages of all kinds. With American ground forces being bled
white, US military planners would have to go nuclear to stave off
defeat.
However, China, having a nuclear arsenal of its own and a
missile system in which to deliver them, would give even the most hawkish
of American military and political leaders second thoughts.
It is
therefore unthinkable that a war with China could in any way be in
America's interests. Besides the possibility of defeat in a conventional
war, and the destruction of American cities and the deaths of millions
of Americans if the war escalates into a nuclear exchange, add total
American economic failure to this scenario -- all triggered whenever China pulls the plug, so
dependant upon China has America become.

In order to avoid becoming
further bogged down the road of economic and military disaster, such as
an attack on Iran which the present occupiers in the White House are
pushing for, the corrupt economic and political leadership of the United
States must be ousted and replaced with those whose priorities are that
of the American people, not Wall Street nor any of the myriad domestic and
foreign lobbies which presently influence policy making in Washington.
Nothing short of this will save us from endless war,
economic ruin, and martial law imposed by the corporate-fascists in
Washington and their rubber stamp Congress.
