Perhaps you’re too young to know, perhaps you’re old enough to know and never bothered paying attention, or you’ve forgotten and don’t associate the constant, continued threads of history weaving the fabric of our current days that each of us then is required to don and live with. In July of 1971, Henry Kissinger, President Nixon’s Security Advisor, made a secret trip to Beijing, Communist China.

This all began in 1967, when Richard Nixon, as candidate Richard Nixon, wrote in the publication Foreign Affairs; “we simply cannot afford to leave China forever outside the family of nations, there to nurture its fantasies, cherish its hates, and threaten its neighbors. There is no place on this small planet for a billion of its potentially most able people to live in angry isolation.”

In 1972 it became known to the world of Nixon’s and Kissinger’s work to open up Communist China as then President of the United States Richard Nixon made a trip to Communist China.

This was the beginning of what the world is now contending with on a daily basis, including the COVID-19 virus and all its associations.

Until Henry Kissinger and Richard Nixon had their deluded, and it was purely deluded idea that opening up Communist China would benefit the world, in 1972 Communist China, a 100% closed society at that time, resembled a place more stuck in the 1930s. And that was in its major cities. In the bulk of Communist China, they resembled places stuck in the late 1800s. They were backward compared to the Western world. Many, many decades behind the Western nations.

Nixon and Kissinger decided that wasn’t good and that if Communist China were opened up and tasted capitalism? Which would also benefit American capitalism in their estimation? That within a period of time they would see the error of their communist ways and decide to become flaming capitalists all buying 3-piece suits and Bowler hats, and craving double-cheeseburgers forgetting, forgoing all those evil communist ways.

Do not believe their lying words for one nanosecond who say such a thing. If you hear or read of any politician or corporate leader saying such a thing. Why? Because all of this is connected to Bible prophecy even though most fail to see such. This had as well in its intent by Mr. Kissinger and Mr. Nixon, and every subsequent power broker, lobbyist, special interest, and politician — every single one of them without exception —  of bringing the world together. To attempt in the self-driven, human ego-driven worldly belief that men can bring about peace and create perpetual prosperity. Supposing that can be accomplished is if more people have more money, but not too much,  and if all nations eventually come together in agreement of one-world governance. NOT to be confused with there not being distinct, individual nations any longer, which is a misconception among many. The nations will remain. Individual nations. But the goal, what has been being worked towards by those who come into earthly power since the end of WWI has been to establish some form of one-world governance all nations would fall under AND ANSWER TO. Thus the League of Nations, and its successor, and just as failed and blind and evil, the current United Nations. Make no mistake — one-world governance is coming. And sooner, much sooner than later.

And EVERY U.S. president since Richard Nixon has pushed and pursued working more and more closely with Communist China. There is NO DIFFERENCE in the rhetoric of ANY U.S. President from Richard Nixon to the present when it comes to Communist China. The closest we’ve come to speaking reality and calling Communist China what they truly are would be former U.S. President Donald Trump, but in truth even he did little and nothing with regard to changing directions in our dealings with Communist China.

Here’s the bottom line before I turn this over to all you fine folks to read the article below:

It is WE THE PEOPLE OF AMERICA, WE THE PEOPLE OF WESTERN NATIONS THAT HAVE MADE COMMUNIST CHINA WHAT THEY ARE TODAY.

It is OUR U.S. and other Western currencies that have made Communist China accelerate into the superpower they are today at a rate faster than any other nation or society in world history. It is the U.S. CONSUMER, the U.S. CORPORATION, the U.S. POLITICIAN — all of us, all of them that have made Communist China what it is today.

And once the monster has been loosed from the cage and the doors were thrown open? And the monster fed? The monster grew and is not like us at all. Anyone ever read Frankenstein? Fiction perhaps, but a document on the delusions and evil, the sorcery men do in their vain attempts at believing they are gods. In either creating life, or greatly altering its course by their own strong wills. With each having within them an evil nature. So, how is anything to ever truly change?

When it is realized that everything EVERY president said was a lie, predicated on the myth that if we made Communist China RICH and STRONG they would want to become like U.S. and turn from their evil communist ways that is when understanding, truth, and awareness of just how it is we are where we now are is seen. Every president lied. Sold the people a bill of spoiled goods literally and figuratively. It was all predicated on greed dear ones. Pure blind greed. And massive egos. Massive out of whack egos. Always with the underlying lying intent of bringing about one world governance for world peace and prosperity.

And now? Now we have what we have…

Learn the history. Granted, we cannot change it but unless and until we’re aware of it, knowledgeable? We walk about either totally empty within to be filled with whatever we allow ourselves to be filled with, and for most that is utter nonsense and lies and misinformation if you’re being filled, have been filed by U.S. broadcast or print media, or the rhetoric of American politicians — almost every single one of them over the past 49 years.

Are you old enough to remember the presidential race that included George H. Bush, Bill Clinton, and Ross Perot? If so, did you ever watch any of the debates between the three of those men?

The only person speaking the truth and sense was Ross Perot, who both Bush and Clinton, reciting the same mantra almost word for word as their beliefs were cemented as one and there was no difference whatsoever between the two men — the two of them ganged up on Mr. Perot and made him out to be a lunatic not knowing what he was talking about. And the entrenched media took up the baton passed to them by Mr. Bush and Mr. Clinton and made Mr. Perot look like an idiot when in reality it was Mr. Perot that openly spoke the truth, unafraid. He was not a politician and naively believed the American people sought the truth and were tired of all the lies and dung fed to them.

And we are where we are now as a result. This is but a very brief history of matters since 1971. And since then, EVERY president, EVERY Congress has committed their efforts and work to ASSISTING and HELPING Communist China become what they are today.

And now? Now some are saying Communist China needs to be put back in the box.

That’s like buying a little 6-inch alligator, thinking “oh isn’t it cute, we’ll just put it into this five-gallon aquarium and it’ll make a lovely pet, the kids will just love this!” and after consuming 3,000,000 white rats that cute little alligator has broken out of the aquarium long, long ago and is now a fierce, snapping, wanting to devour you eleven-foot beast having the run of your house keeping you in constant fear…

…it’s just like that folks.

And we voted the idiots into office. We bought all the Communist Chinese cheaply made garbage while our corporations made record profits turning a blind eye and a deaf ear to what Communist China truly is and how and what Communist China truly does.

And we, all the people of America, made the mutation of what once passed for communism into the morphed monster of the amalgamation of even eviler communism mingled with Western capitalistic riches — making them being eviler possible.

Imagine that?

Vital for every professed believer in God, the Lord Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit to know and keep within their hearts, minds, and prayers? Communist China is one of the most oppressive, repressive, severe places on earth for those who put their hearts, their faith, their lives in the risen Lord Jesus Christ, and those who desire to live their lives in a Bible-centered, Bible-based manner.

Should we thank Mr. Kissinger, Mr. Nixon, EVERY U.S. politician since? ALMOST EVERY U.S. and other Western corporation? And let us not forget ourselves, our hand in all of this…

ACP — A Crooked Path

 

 

Cut Off the Blood Supply to China’s Communist Party: End Trade

 

 

  • The real problem for Beijing is that consumption, the only sustainable part of the Chinese economy, looks far softer than officially reported, something evident from the widely followed China Beige Book survey. Spending will not fully recover until the coronavirus pandemic passes, and that is unlikely to happen soon due to China’s barely effective vaccines.
  • In any event, Washington must begin enforcing laws, especially those banning the importation of products made with forced or slave labor.
  • Japan’s Uniqlo is not the only brand that has been implicated. Nike and Apple have, through subcontractors, apparently used such labor. Enforcement has been hampered by, among other things, lack of personnel and a failure of political will.
  • The larger goal has to be an ending of trade relations with China. “Because the threat posed by China to the United States results from its hostile system and includes economic, technological, and military dimensions, only systemic, not piecemeal, responses can possibly protect critical U.S. interests,” Washington, D.C.-based trade expert Alan Tonelson tells Gatestone. “Sanctions against individuals or companies will inevitably produce only pinprick effects, and even these are easily nullified with shell game corporate renamings and personnel changes.”

“I want to be clear on this, our goal is not to hold China back,” said U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken in a June 25 interview with Anne Claire Coudray of TF1. “It is not to establish a policy against China.”

Really? The Chinese regime spread a disease that has at last count killed 604,000 Americans; last year it urged the violent overthrow of the American government; it is killing tens of thousands of Americans annually with fentanyl and related opioids; and it steals half a trillion dollars of American intellectual property every 12 months. It has even declared a “people’s war” on America.

To defend itself, the United States should declare that its policy is to end the rule of China’s Communist Party.

At the moment, the Party is especially vulnerable because China’s economy is weaker than reported and the country is still dependent on the American market.

Beijing’s National Bureau of Statistics reported an 18.3% growth of gross domestic product in the first quarter of this year compared to the same quarter in 2020. Fortune described the results as “eye-popping.”

China’s Q1 result, however, was probably inflated and in any event fell below consensus estimates. Tellingly, the country’s Q1 GDP registered only a 0.6% increase from the previous quarter. That figure trailed the 2.6% quarter-on-quarter growth between the third and fourth quarters of last year.

The real problem for Beijing is that consumption, the only sustainable part of the Chinese economy, looks far softer than officially reported, something evident from the widely followed China Beige Book survey. Spending will not fully recover until the coronavirus pandemic passes, and that is unlikely to happen soon due to China’s barely effective vaccines.

Until consumption recovers, China will have to rely on exports. Growth for China in recent quarters has been largely export-driven, but as Bo Zhuang of TS Lombard told Fortune, “Exports and industrial production have slowed down from very high levels.” Export growth, he correctly says, “is running out of steam.” That is especially true now that COVID-19 outbreaks are substantially slowing the movement of goods out of Guangdong province ports.

An export-dependent China is an America-dependent China. Last year, China’s merchandise trade surplus with the U.S. was 58.0% of its overall merchandise trade surplus. China, therefore, remains extraordinarily dependent on its sales to America, a circumstance that gives Washington extraordinary leverage.

In any event, Washington must begin enforcing laws, especially those banning the importation of products made with forced or slave labor. U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) in January seized Uniqlo-branded shirts arriving in Los Angeles on the suspicion they were made with such labor in the so-called Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region.

Beginning in 2020 and continuing into this year, CBP has dramatically stepped up enforcement. In the current federal fiscal year, beginning in October, the U.S. has seized 1,255 shipments, up from just 324 cargoes in the preceding fiscal year and 12 the year before that.

That is a great start, but so far CBP has just scratched the surface. Japan’s Uniqlo is not the only brand that has been implicated. Nike and Apple have, through subcontractors, apparently used such labor. Enforcement has been hampered by, among other things, lack of personnel and a failure of political will.

The market still rewards companies utilizing forced and slave labor, “taking advantage of the weak,” onshoring expert Jonathan Bass tells Gatestone. The permissive attitude toward slavery is not only “morally repugnant, it punishes American companies by making them uncompetitive,” says Bass, CEO of Whom Home, which bought back its production to this side of the Pacific Ocean. “Who can,” he asks, “compete with a company that pays virtually nothing for labor performed in facilities resembling concentration camps?”

At the moment, the Chinese economy is benefitting from U.S. Customs not effectively tracking country of origin. Furniture manufacturers in China, including American public companies, are transshipping products through Vietnam to evade increased U.S. tariffs. This evasion is evident. According to Furniture Today, Vietnam’s furniture exports to the U.S. last year increased an astounding 31% from 2019. China’s shipments fell a too-good-to-believe 25%.

Such changes do not occur in the absence of tariff fraud, Bass, who is in the furniture and furnishing business, argues. Customs can stop this age-old Chinese stratagem. Its use is criminal, and everyone involved knows it is happening. Customs needs to stop looking the other way.

Ultimately, it is everyday purchasing decisions that fuel a hostile China. Cleo Paskal of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies has been promoting a Shopping for Victory program. A 2020 Deutsche Bank survey reported that 41% of Americans didn’t want to buy products made in China. “Online retailers deliberately make it difficult to know where products are made,” she tells Gatestone. “There should be an online retail portal where country of origin is clearly marked. The site would give consumers the choice to join the battle for what is right, one purchase at a time.” There are proposals in Congress to require online retailers to include COOL information, that’s COOL as in country of origin labeling. We all should support these bills.

In any event, China is no longer the world’s low-cost producer for many products, so even price-obsessed consumers can love products made elsewhere.

The larger — and longer-term — goal has to be ending trade relations with China. “Because the threat posed by China to the United States results from its hostile system and includes economic, technological, and military dimensions, only systemic, not piecemeal, responses can possibly protect critical U.S. interests,” Washington, D.C.-based trade expert Alan Tonelson tells Gatestone. “Sanctions against individuals or companies will inevitably produce only pinprick effects, and even these are easily nullified with shell game corporate renamings and personnel changes.”

China’s Communist Party runs a system where all entities are in service of the party-state. That means all Chinese entities should be treated as one and their products banned.

“It is, for all our countries, a very complicated relationship that cannot be simplified with a single word or a single sentence,” Blinken said in his TF1 interview, referring to Sino-U.S. ties.

No, Secretary Blinken, you are wrong. Sever ties with China right now, Mr. Secretary.

As Bass, the trade expert, says, “it’s high time to cut off the blood supply to the Chinese Communist Party.”
