Following the brilliant and brave Caitlin Johnstone about the war pigs who are now after China.
War is Yang. Logic is Yang. Just because something is Yang doesn’t make it right or good. Yang and Yin are amoral energies. We, the People, are the moral agents. We, the People, are not beholden to a fake morality of a distant God, no. We are as Gods. It is up to us People to make wise choices. As long as we pretend to be victims, we will be.
As they say, Fake it Till You Make It! Maybe we People can get together and fake real morality on a global scale, beginning with “Thou shall not kill.”
When I was young, our leaders opened China for our Corporations to plunder, I mean trade with. The bosses sent our middle class wages over there so they could profit. We lost our jobs, our middle class wages, and our dignity to the Corporate adventure. For years China took our literal garbage. Yes, Emily, our garbage was loaded onto ships that chugged across the ocean to dump our literal shit in their poor country. Their literal third world poverty stricken country.
These industrious people worked and literally slaved for fifty years and now they are a world power. They no longer take our garbage, literally. So what are we doing in response to their coming of age in Modernia? We want to blow them up.
This strikes me as an abusive parent whose child has achieved a success in adulthood. This parent is not a centered person, no. S/he is an insecure person with low self esteem and too much money. What does s/he do to her adult child? Discredit the bastard! “That is no child of mine. You should have seen this baby when it shit its diapers! I wiped its ass. Ungrateful kid.”
Well, China now poops in the potty like a big person and Mom and Dad are mad. I mean mad in the old way. Crazy. And now, Emily, where shall we put our garbage? This is what our government is doing with the money you give it for five months of your earning every year. We work from January through May - for the government.
Here’s the actual published piece from anitwar.com
“That takes resources to be able to accomplish and so those are some of the resources that I argue for when I go back to the headquarters,” Wilsbach added. He said the Air Force requested funds for additional construction in the Pacific for its 2024 military budget.
Wilsbach said that every new base in the region is a new area China would have to target. “Every single additional airfield that I can operate from is another in a contingency or crisis, or a conflict is another airfield that China has to put into their targeting folders and, and then allocate resources toward them, which dilutes their ability to shut us completely down,” he said.
The Biden administration has been working to expand the US military footprint in the Asia Pacific. This year, the US signed a deal with the Philippines to gain access to four new bases in the country and inked an agreement with Papua New Guinea to gain access to airports and sea ports in the Pacific island nation. The US is also expanding its presence in Australia under the AUKUS pact.
Thank you as always, Caitlin, for keeping me awake!
