Is War Next?

May 27, 2020

Authored by James Rickards via The Daily Reckoning,

Remember the pro-democracy protests in Hong Kong against Chinese authoritarianism?

Well, guess what? They’re about to start again.

And U.S.-Chinese relations could get even worse than they are right now.

Are you prepared for a bumpy ride?

Let’s unpack this…

Last year’s protests came in response to a proposed law that would have allowed the extradition of Hong Kong residents to Beijing for trial on charges that arose in Hong Kong.

That would have deprived Hong Kong residents of legal protections in local law and subjected prisoners to torture and summary execution.

The legislation was proposed by Hong Kong’s Chief Executive Carrie Lam, who many consider a puppet of Beijing.

The demonstrations grew exponentially, ultimately involving hundreds of thousands of protesters.

The list of demands also grew to include more democracy and freedom and adherence to Hong Kong’s rule of law.

Due to social media, these protests were seen around the world.

The proposed bill behind the original protests was scrapped last October, which was a victory for the pro-democracy protesters.

The protests didn’t end altogether, but tensions were at least diffused to a great extent and the world moved on.

Well, here comes round two…

China’s Communist parliament is preparing to roll out legislation that would ban “treason, secession, sedition (and) subversion” in Hong Kong.

This is different from the previous legislation because this bill actually originates in Beijing, not Hong Kong. It’s a direct assault on Hong Kong’s democracy. The Chinese parliament would insert the legislation directly into Hong Kong’s constitution.

After 100 years of British rule, Chinese in Hong Kong are not taking well to China's Iron Fist in a silk glove.

I assume you mean Bush 45.

The common thread is they were all part of the War Party. That is the only party.

FDR knew that Pearl Harbor was coming since the code breakers had broken the Jap Naval Code. He let it happen so the country would get on a war footing and the pacifists would get knocked down for the count.

LBJ was behind JFK's assassination. This was according the Jack Ruby and his mistress, Madeleine Duncan Brown. ;)

And Shrub wanted to be a war President, so he ordered the invasion of Iraq.

The premise for the invasion was that Iraq had WMD's. But the U.N. Weapons Inspector Scott Ritter said there were no WMD's in Iraq.

But the reason this was done was because Saddam was selling oil for Euros. He said, "I do not want to deal in the currency of the enemy."

Saddam was hung on December 30, 2006 for "crimes against humanity".

But he was really hanged for dissing the U.S. policy of Dollar Supremacy. ;)

Here is the reason Shrub went into Iraq. It was personal and cost lives.

Clinton took action within bounds against Iraq, Shrub did it for personal reasons.

"""In retaliation for an Iraqi plot to assassinate former U.S. President George H.W. Bush during his April visit to Kuwait, President Bill Clinton orders U.S. warships to fire Tomahawk cruise missiles at Iraqi intelligence headquarters in downtown Baghdad.

On April 13, 1993, the day before George Bush was scheduled to visit Kuwait and be honored for his victory in the Persian Gulf War, Kuwaiti authorities foiled a car-bomb plot to assassinate him. Fourteen suspects, most of them Iraqi nationals, were arrested, and the next day their massive car bomb was discovered in Kuwait City. Citing “compelling evidence” of the direct involvement of Iraqi intelligence in the assassination attempt, President Clinton ordered a retaliatory attack against their alleged headquarters in the Iraqi capital on June 26. Twenty-three Tomahawk missiles, each costing more than a million dollars, were fired off the USS Peterson in the Red Sea and the cruiser USS Chancellorsville in the Persian Gulf, destroying the building and, according to Iraqi accounts, killing several civilians."""

Party does matter in that World Communism has preferred to work within democrat party.

Why democrat party?

Dem party is amalgamation of "minorities" that are easy to manipulate.

One has only to view and digest statistics of Trump win over Shrillary.

Rural minority Americans did NOT buy Shrillary, hence Trump electoral win. The Founding Fathers were men that knew of human failings, that men could be led by the nose.

Communists work with other communists. Bush was every bit the communist that Wilson, FDR, Truman, LBJ, and you left out Clinton, Carter and Reagan were. The truth is D.C. is actually a blended socialist-fasci-commie cabal. Trying to find some major ideological difference between the assholes sitting in the White House before Trump is fraught with difficulties. (And, I'm not giving Trump a free ride either. Time will tell about him. At this point he has been bombarded with false claims and an impossible but time consuming impeachment attempt.

Trump is surrounded by anti-american self-centered sell outs to foreign interests. Up to this point he has shown himself equal to the task and has in many instances out played the players. Trump needs to know that the public has his back so he can unleash holy hell on the mealy mouthed traitors like Pelosi, Schumer, Mueller, Schiff, and every Governor that refuses to open up their States.

The mainstream media needs to be held accountable for the lies they have delivered every night on the news for Trump's entire presidency.

In the final analysis, Cyni, there's only one party in D.C. and that's the sell-out party. America is available to the highest bidder. Every creature in the swamp has dirt on every other scumbag in the swamp so that they are "ALL" compromised and can't be pointing fingers at their fellow traitors.

The democraps vs. the republicraps is such a bullshit waste of time and an offense to reality. It's a One party system, the money party that has two factions which take turns fucking the public at large. They take their orders from whomever bribes them. WalMart is open but churches are closed. (Not that I have even the least bit of respect for the churches today).

The silent majority spoke out last election cycle. They put Trump in office because they know these life term parasites in D.C. are sucking the country dry.

As you know I don't vote and I don't like any of the cockroaches in D.C. The problem is D.C. and both parties are guilt ridden.

Good heavens....

Well now, that is the writing akin to what I have expected and respected for such a long time.

Consider this...In my lifetime there have been only two Presidents that have stood tall, above the political scum of the system. Both were former democrats, both were never POLITICIANS.

Is there a remedy for our system? I fear it is far too late. There is one step that could be taken by Trump, if re elected, bring about term limits, abolish lifetime office holders. If that is not done NOW BY TRUMP, it will be too late.

We cannot "hang" the Middle East" on any one president.

From FDR on, all are complicit to some degree.A hint to this is, in Trumans hand written diary. In 1947, Truman wrote this.."No matter how much you do for the Jews, it is never enough". Note that did NOT say Israel????

Well my friend I have never been so pissed off in my life as I am these days and because of current events. There are so many reasons to be angry but my primary concern is for my children and grand children.

Many Americans have suffered the ravages of wars fought with the notion that they were preserving freedom, somehow, even when there weren't rational indications of this being true. One thing that is true is that none of those dead or wounded soldiers offered up their patriotic services to come home to the shit oozing out of D.C. every day chipping away at the liberty they thought they were fighting to maintain.

The cast of characters occupying the policy making positions in D.C. today have to be the least common denominator between queers, pedophiles, eugenicists, thieves, murderers, traitors, bribe taking sell outs, banker butt boys/girls, that are highly educated for the most part but seemingly make every un-American choice in their decision making process.

Frankly, I'm fucking tired of the mediocre response made by the American people up to this point, myself included. Sure, I exited the system and refuse to fund the D.C. (District of Child-Molesters) or have any attachment to the FEDERAL RESERVE BANK OWNED GOVERNMENT. That being said (publicly) I haven't done my duty to the country and neither have millions of people that know just exactly how threatening the current situation of shut downs, potential for forced vaccinations, I.D. 2020 among other things are with us and the enemy is within the gates. (no pun intended).

But, having mentioned that pussy motherfucker, Shill Gates, it's time he was put in his rightful place. He doesn't deserve it but should get a speedy trial, a noose about his scrawny neck, and his dead wife anchored to his feet as he is dropped from the scaffold unto his meeting with satan. He is the spawn of a baby killing daddy and has raised the family ambition to a new level of depravity. And he's still among the living ?

Why ?

In the Bible it says that in the last days people's "hearts will wax cold." and they have to a very high degree. Love of family and friends has deteriorated under the constant barrage of racial/political/ethnic/religious baiting from the media giants that want America divided because a united America would grab the pitch forks and rout D.C. immediately.

When I was a kid and my old man would inform me as to how the cow would eat the cabbage in our home, I might whine and say the neighbors down the street don't have the same theory as you dad. He would remind me whose house I was in and even offer to help me pack my shit so I could move in with the neighbors. I left home when I was 15 and only went back home to store my "shit" when I enlisted in the Air Farce. My dad took me to the recruitment center to be shipped off to Lackland, Air Farce Base, with a tear in his eye, wished me the best, told me not to volunteer for "anything" and handed me a bottle of Vodka to drink on the plane.

My dad and I battled for the first 15 years of my life because I was an insolent self centered, trouble making, stubborn brat. I have never respected any man more than my dad because he was intelligent, direct, and sacrificed much for the sake of his 5 children. I respect and miss my dad more than anyone I've ever known because of his directness and honesty even when it hurt (him).

Sorry for the escape to the past but I just want to let it be known that I am capable of learning a hard lesson and admitting when I'm wrong. And I want it known to everyone on this 4UM that I am not satisfied with our efforts to reclaim our country when most of us have been sent 10,000 miles away to fight, bleed and die for some other people's country, and I know none of us would have expected to come back "to the world" after living in a war zone only to find ourselves under the surveillance police state existing today.

The U.S. Inc. has made every move to incite a civil war in America. The dumbed down American public doesn't even notice it. Every time I hear someone acknowledge "appreciation for your service" I cringe. It's complete bullshit and no one really gives a rat's ass about your service and frankly I didn't ever give it a second thought myself. I'd appreciate it if we taught our children to stay away from the military unless we are attacked directly. Our country has become the most powerful terrorist organization on planet earth.

You may be right in thinking that it's too late to resurrect freedom in America. I believe that's somewhat of a defeatist attitude. I've tried to simply separate myself from the FED GOVT believing it a waste of time trying to convince others to do the same. My little demonstration has done nothing to improve the conditions we are experiencing today nor will it have any impact upon the very real and dire future the FEDERAL GOVT has relegated to us and our offspring. I know I'm stubborn to a fault. I have been raised and trained throughout my life to love my country and to cherish liberty. My exercise in futility was for the purpose of possibly demonstrating non-compliance is the only way outside of physical violence to undo the evils of D.C., either way the day of reckoning will overtake us and when the inevitable comes to pass I only hope I'm healthy and vibrant enough to give those cocksuckers in D.C something to make them aware that they cannot encroach upon the liberty of a free people forever and get away with it.

When people that have joined the police force, the National Guard, the active duty service, begin to use force against Americans for their government masters it will be a terribly sad day. We are already witnessing some of these police forces using force to enforce governor's edicts regarding social distancing and other nonsensical machinations of STATE, but there will come a moment when the first shot is fired around the United States by some over aggressive cop or military man to light this powder keg of injustice. We will all wish we could have stopped this coming civil war peacefully.

This plot originated with Israel and the Rothschilds.

So JFK was opposed to Israel having nukes. But they got them anyway.

Mordechai Vanunu blew the whistle on the nuclear plant in Dimona, Israel in an interview with The Sunday Times that was published on 5 October 1986. According to Vanunu, this plant had been producing nuclear weapons for 10 to 20 years.

The identity of actual assassin (on the grassy knoll) is unknown.

But it is apparent the driver of the limo may have been in on it since he slowed his pace when the shooting took place.

Also, the Secret Service agents were called off from running alongside the limo.

WTF was up with that? :-/

There was a man with his family alongside the road when the shooting occurred. He had been in the Army and knew what incoming fire was. He got them down on the ground real quick. ;)

Stirring, very well stated and direct from the heart. Sharp as a good fish-boning knife.

Is a significant and serious Secession Movement out of the question?

Is one even possible in a Zionist-infected freedom-deprived reality??

We are all on the clock, all the time, however... it's very, very late.

Olde age and history...

The ballot box will NEVER take us out of this death spiral, we must accept that as a truism. In my 88 years, man as an individual is meaningless.

Ayn Rand, 100 years ago, speaking for the ruling elite said this...

"""Nearly all humans born are but mere lice, with barely a right to life""".

When we realize and accept that concept is alive and well,with the ruling elite in the shadows, we understand our plight.

Is this a recent or modern day issue? History is open that Hamilton believed that the few should govern, the rest wear the yoke.

The only tolerable yoke is centered in the white of a fried egg !

Often quotes appear in the posts here on 4UM. I sometimes ask myself why should I care much about the quotes of long dead men and women. Some of them are actually prophecy or great predictions that are applicable now more so than when initially stated.

But what about agreements or consent given by some old men back in the 18th century ? I certainly haven't given my consent to any 200 year old agreement or constitution. The thing that really needs consideration is the fact that even if one agrees with the Constitution and Bill of Privileges, it's obvious that those in government positions don't agree with it.
