As State Department security personnel broke into the Chinese Consulate in Houston just hours after the 72 hour deadline to vacate, the U.S. Consulate in Chengdu is being quickly vacated to meet the reciprocal 72 hour deadline imposed by Beijing on Monday. The Global Times editorial asks: “How far will the current China-U.S. confrontation keep going? Will a new cold war take shape? Will there be military conflicts and will the possible clashes evolve into large-scale military confrontation between the two?” They conclude: “The tragedies in the 1910s and 1930s must not be repeated again.”
The Schiller Institute sponsored two international fora in the past three days featuring former NSA technical director William Binney, who reviewed his proof that the intelligence community claim of Russian interference in the 2016 election was a hoax, calling for the end of the NSA surveillance state and the jailing of the perpetrators of that criminal policy. Binney also implicated Secretary of State Mike Pompeo in the continuing coup attempt against President Donald Trump, describing his briefing to then-CIA Director Pompeo on the fraud of “Russian interference,” which Pompeo ignored, endorsing instead the Obama intelligence team’s lie that Russia hacked the Democrat emails to help Trump get elected. If there were any doubt that Pompeo is part of the campaign against his own boss, his trip to London last week, giving fulsom support to the current “China-bashing” campaign being run by former MI6 officials Richard Dearlove and Christopher Steele — the very kingpins in the Russiagate coup attempt against Trump — put those doubts to rest.
As to Pompeo’s willingness to risk a nuclear war with China to preserve the imperial power of the British Empire, listen to his words in London: “And if we don’t act now, ultimately our children’s children may be at the mercy of the Chinese Communist Party…. General Secretary Xi is not destined to tyrannize inside and outside of China forever, unless we allow it.” To an imperial oligarch, vast infrastructure development through the Belt and Road Initiative constitutes “tyranny.”
The Anglo-American war party is still pushing for confrontation with Russia, despite the near-collapse of Russiagate. In both Washington and London, military leaders are accusing Russia of launching a “weapon-like projectile” into space (with no effort to describe what a “weapon-like projectile” may be), and announcing therefore a review of their militarization of space policies. As with the U.S. withdrawal from the ABM Treaty and the INF Treaty, it was first declared that Russia was “cheating” on the treaties, justifying a takedown of the treaty altogether, and leading the world into a new arms race and potential military confrontation.
In the case of Russia, President Trump continues to counter the provocations from within his own cabinet through personal diplomacy, conducting a long phone call with President Vladimir Putin on July 23. The call covered many critical areas — most importantly, plans for a Summit of the leaders of the five Permanent Members of the UN Security Council, which would bring Presidents Trump, Putin and Xi Jinping together. President Trump has demonstrated in many crucial situations that his personal meetings with potential adversaries can override the confrontational and provocative policies of his cabinet and his military. Never has such personal diplomacy been more urgent. The Democratic Party leadership, including their pathetic presumptive Presidential candidate Joe Biden, far from posing an alternative to the insane anti-Russia and anti-China hysteria, are promising to be even tougher on them than the Trump Administration.
Meanwhile, the Democratic Party-supported insurrection taking place on the streets of the United States against Trump, and against the nation itself, has escalated even further over the past week. The role of Barack Obama personally in orchestrating and encouraging these Jacobin mobs is not hidden — simply “part three” of the Democratic Party’s “Russiagate” and “Ukrainegate” efforts to bring down the government of the United States.
The multi-pronged crisis facing civilization — the pandemic, the economic disintegration, the financial bubble, the threat of mass starvation in Africa, the threat of war — can not be resolved “one at a time.” “The LaRouche Plan To Reopen the U.S. Economy — The World Needs1.5 Billion New, Productive Jobs” provides the comprehensive resolution, both ending the danger and launching the necessary new paradigm for mankind. The proposed Summit of the P5 leaders, which has been agreed upon but without a date certain, is the minimum, and essential, structure to facilitate this urgent process.
