“The aim of this film is to break a silence: the United States and China may well be on the road to war, and nuclear war is no longer unthinkable,” Pilger says in his 2016 documentary The Coming War on China, which you can watch free on Youtube here or on Vimeo here.
“In a few years China has become the world’s second-biggest economic power,” Pilger’s introduction continues.
“The United States is the world’s biggest military power, with bases and missiles and ships covering every continent and every ocean. China is a threat to this dominance, says Washington. But who is the threat? This film is about shifting power, and great danger.”
As we’ve been discussing for years now, the relentless quest of the US-centralized empire-like power alliance for total world domination has put it on a collision course with the surging economic powerhouse of China which refuses to be absorbed into the imperial blob. The empire’s continued existence depends upon its ability to undermine China before it grows too powerful or the empire grows too weak to stop its ascent, at which point global hegemony becomes impossible and we are living in a truly multipolar world.
China has therefore always been the final boss fight in the global campaign of violence and domination by what Pilger calls the “empire which never speaks its name”. And the ramping up of anti-China narrative management by the US government indicates that we are being psychologically primed to accept this world-threatening confrontation, just as Pilger warned in 2016.
“The danger of confrontation grows by the day,” Pilger says.
The powerful film breaks down the way the USA has been encircling China with a “noose” of military bases since the Korean War, which all have massive amounts of military firepower, including nuclear firepower, pointed right at China’s cities. Pilger shows the psychopathic toll this has inflicted upon the people who live in the areas where the US war machine has set up shop in the Pacific, including an especially enraging segment on the use of Bikini Atoll natives as human guinea pigs to test the effects of nuclear radiation on people. Also deeply disturbing is the revelation of just how close the US came to launching nuclear warheads at China due to a miscommunication during the Cuban missile crisis.
The film describes China’s recent history and explains its climb in economic power which led us to this point, and the USA’s generations-long history of provocation and hostility toward its government. It also addresses the silly projection so many westerners harbor that if the US wasn’t bullying and slaughtering the world into compliance, China would take over doing the same.
The White House is launching a communications plan across multiple federal agencies that focuses on accusing Beijing of orchestrating a “cover-up” & creating a global pandemic, according to two US officials & a government cable obtained by The Daily Beast https://t.co/3Xjm08G2Mw
Back in 2016 it was harder for people to see this escalation on the horizon, but now in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic we’re hearing a frantic, disproportionate amount of anti-China sentiment from the Trump administration and its supporters, in the same way we heard Russia hysteria amplified over the last three years by Trump’s enemies. Trump was politically pressured to dangerously escalate cold war tensions with Russia, and he’s now being politically incentivized to pass the blame for his administration’s spectacular failures in addressing this pandemic on to the Chinese government in a way which manufactures support for escalations on that front as well. Two different narratives, same agenda.
“The new president, Donald Trump, has a problem with China,” Pilger says at the end of the documentary.
“The urgent question now is will Trump continue with the provocations revealed in this film and take us all to the edge of war?”
The answer to that question appears to be coalescing. It’s a good time for us all to watch this film.

We made china what it is today. The Banksters, the president and Congress at the time, some of whom are still there. We methodically removed factories from the states and reopened them in Mexico and China. Domestic businesses had to grovel for loans but anyone wanting to relocate could get loans galore.
This is nothing more than the usual perpetual war of Orwells 1984.

The US is on the list of China’s “10 Inevitable Wars”.
They have stated they will use bio-weapons, both in the document “Unrestricted Warfare”, and in General Chi Haotian’s speech to CCP leadership. Here is a paragraph from that speech:
“…Conventional weapons such as fighters, canons, missiles and battleships won’t do; neither will highly destructive weapons such as nuclear weapons. We are not as foolish as to want to perish together with America by using nuclear weapons, despite the fact that we have been exclaiming that we will have the Taiwan issue resolved at whatever cost. Only by using non-destructive weapons that can kill many people will we be able to reserve America for ourselves. There has been rapid development of modern biological technology, and new bio-weapons have been invented one after another. Of course, we have not been idle, in the past years we have seized the opportunity to master weapons of this kind. We are capable of achieving our purpose of “cleaning up” America all of a sudden. When Comrade Xiaoping was still with us, the Party Central Committee had the perspicacity to make the right decision not to develop aircraft carrier groups and focus instead on developing lethal weapons that can eliminate mass populations of the enemy country….”
The release of the corona virus was an act of war.
Yes, I’m quite aware of the century long takeover from within, and have read many of their own documents, the Frankfurt School, etc. But, make no mistake, China is not your friend either.
How about – the US Fed Gov sucks and the Chinese gov’t sucks. Or better yet, all gov’t sucks.
There are no good guys in the military. You only have murderers and malingerers, the M&M’s as I refer to them. The leadership is comprised of sociopaths and the grunts are amoral morons. That’s for absolutely every military on the planet, and especially the US military.

I just don’t think that the pathetic leadership I see in the US armed forces are going to war against any force that can actually beat them. US Navy ships with untrained deck officers, fired c/o’s, aberrant pilot training. Trannies and single mothers in the US Army, the Air Force depending on planes that do not operate, with no real plans to change. All they are good at is burning tax dollars and finding comfortable sinecures after they retire.
Military capability is a function of the culture that sponsors said military. I see the US armed forces like old athletes who have depended too long on steroids and chest beating. They may look muscular, and show well on tv, but have (wisely) no interest in a real fight. Flying over Tuscaloosa on Saturday afternoon is one thing, taking it to Bejing is quite another. No go showboat.
None of that is to derogate the fighting men and women of the armed forces. Great troopers, poorly led, defending cronies in a culture that is unworthy of their devotion, and the shedding of their blood.
Flea, What “heavy lifting” have the US armed forces done lately? The latest messes in Syris, Iraq, Afghanistan are not at all “heavy lifts” when one considers the ostensible strength of the opposition. Lacking the desire and leadership to win, and no just reason for either invasion in the first place, we never really fought to win. In any of those places. And that is a failure of leadership. Maybe the politicians got the ball rolling, but the Generals and Admirals are the ones who should have either stopped it, fought to win, or resigned their commissions to expose the political class as murdering traitors.
We used to have a Helluva good country. How did we ever let it get away?

It was an act of war but on Whom? Following the money trail leads to New Jew-ruse-salem.

Definately not a friend.

Right. We are basically reduced to hiring colonial armies and mercenaries to do the heave lifting.
Flea, What “heavy lifting” have the US armed forces done lately?

Read it again. I didn’t say they did any heavy lifting. I said they hire colonial armies and Mercs for the grunt work.
My father has been saying for weeks now that the US should nuke the hell out of China. He’s a seriously religious man. The world is so doomed.
