GEOPOLITICS

The Essential Concept Missing from All the Other Candidates.

For many hundreds of years, superpowers have been struggling with each other for control of the various forms of wealth available on our little planet. Superpowers try not to fight each other directly because criminals always try to look innocent, and if nobody can prove you were in the fight, there is no shame if you lose.

Other reasons for fighting indirectly through puppets are to hold down the cost of the struggle in money and lives of the superpowers' own citizens, and as a means of controlling the innocent and uninformed populations of the countries being raped and plundered. If you bribe local leaders to convince the natives that it is their own fight, then they will be happy when the manipulating superpower gives them weapons.

Iraq is the unfortunate victim of Communist China and Communist Russia manipulating the extreme factions of Islam as unwitting puppets in their struggle against America.

Throughout Communist China, and throughout the ethnic Chinese sections of the Pacific, two slogans are ubiquitous: "One dream, one world,"  and " One people, one world." These concepts refer to China's interpretation of her 5,000 year history as leading to control of the entire world by the Han Chinese ethnic group which controls China.

Although I cannot read Chinese, I am told that all the Chinese language newspapers publish extreme anti-American articles featured prominently in every issue. If we have learned one lesson from Adolph Hitler, it is that we must believe what foreign governments publish.

A major focus of foreign policy must be to convince the Chinese leaders that the ordinary Chinese people should be the focus of their government, not America. The Chinese government treats its people worse than cattle, with slave labor wages and working conditions so that the upper members of the falsely labeled "Communist" party may accumulate billions of dollars. China has no effective safety mechanisms, as witnessed by the never ending discoveries of poisonous Chinese food, pharmaceuticals, toys, you name it. It is time for China to conduct itself as a responsible nation.

Communism, of course, is a philosophy based on lifting up the people. China totally ignores this most vital component of Communism. China's economy is totally organized upon exploiting its own people in order to make the elite into the richest elite in the world.

The upper echelons of the corrupt Chinese social order are now the richest people in the world, because they have obtained our expensive technology for free, pay their workers nothing, and commit the worst pollution the world has ever seen.

One third of the particulate pollution in Los Angeles comes from China. Aspen has hazy days from Chinese pollution. This is not acceptable.

The strategy of the past all our Presidents for the past 30 years has been to give everything to China in the false hope that this will encourage China to join the community of responsible nations. The opposite has been the result.

China believes, correctly, that it can get away with anything, so China does anything that enriches its elite, with no regard for laws or human welfare. China is a true rogue nation, and this cannot be further encouraged by our failed trade policy.

The key to Chinese greatness is to lift up its people with much, much higher wages, humane working conditions, universal free education, and universal healthcare.

When China eventually does this, China will create internal demand, instead of focusing on predatory business practices and exports to America. China will never have true security until it is a green, non-predatory, self-sustaining nation in which internal demand is sufficient to support its manufacturing complex. And of course, for any nation to be a proud member of the community of nations, that nation must have true, demonstrable respect for the human rights of its citizens, and of the people which it has conquered, including the people of Tibet and Nepal.

It is too bad that it took a third of a century and tremendous damage to our middle class, and to the world's environment, for America to find a leader who has the spine to stand up like a true leader should, and put a stop to these outrages.
