America is losing the world-wide war against America. That's right, the world-wide war against America.
This is not just our war against terrorists or terrorism. This is also about three or four-fifths of the rest of the world opposing the "Only Superpower."
Just as when ancient Rome became decadent and soft and hired more and more mercenaries to fight its wars; we Americans are discussing gay marriage at political "debates" while China and Russia make deals to oppose the U.S. plan to throttle Iran's nuclear program.
While John Edwards is getting his $400.00 haircut, about one million Chinese "hackers" are launching a cyber attack against U.S. computers.
Why does Newt Gingrich, a student of history and a well schooled Washington insider, add to his speeches, "We are in trouble, and somebody had better start talking about it in a blunt way."
You think that is just a cute tag line or does he believe it?
The war we are already engaged in is a world-wide war against the U.S. and that's us.
We at Peace and Freedom view "war" as a struggle for dominance in many areas: geo-political influence, resources, science and technology and everything else. The U.S. has already proven, with the assistance of terrorists and insurgents from around the globe, that the best military doesn't always "win." The lessons of the war in Vietnam are locked in which Pentagon safe?
What we are talking about is a war by every possible means that is being launched against the U.S. and to which the U.S. should respond. It is a war to assemble political, manufacturing, military, technological and mineral wealth.
And we are losing.
Consider China. You have read any news lately in any credible "world view" publication or web site that DIDN'T have some jaw dropping news about China?
Here are just a few topics and headlines recently from China (and a few other places):
Well, you get the idea.
During the last year, China opened the world's largest seaport: in Pakistan. China deflected international pressure on the genocide in Darfur so it could continue to hustle Sudan's leadership to gain a monopoly over that county's oil. China destroyed a satellite with an Anti-Satellite (ASAT) missile test. A Chinese submarine maneuvered undetected into a position that allowed it to surface within sight of a U.S. aircraft carrier. North Korea tested at least one nuclear device. Iran threatened to go nuclear and tested missiles of increasing range: perhaps they can already reach into Europe. And while the U.N. and U.S. wring their hands about pollution and global warming, China continues to hide behind the legalese that it is a "developing nation" and exempt from restrictions like those in the Kyoto pact. That air pollution over Beijing is from manufacturing, my friend. A manufacturing juggernaut.
During the last year Vladimir Putin in Russia has opposed the U.S. on all fronts, invoking old Cold War rhetoric. Russia has been reinvigorated by oil wealth.
Chihuahuas like Hugo Chavez upped their ugly rhetoric and initiated more anti-U.S. positions and actions.
Cindy Sheehan when to Venezuela to visit. Nancy Pelosi went to Syria to visit. And during a Democratic debate, Barak Obama said he's go anywhere to visit.
While Meredith Viera of NBCs TODAY Show tasted Chinese cuisine in Beijing to the delight of some grinning Chinese stooge Olympic handler, China was sucking as much iron and tin out of Africa as it could find.
While Americans sat transfixed to Paris Hilton and other meaningless and fleeting news, some ground-shaking world events have occurred. What we need to know is: has this been due to geological shifts or nuclear testing?
I don't want to be painted an alarmist and dismissed to a corner of the room. What we are urging is a reawakening of our view of the world situation and a change to the sleepwalking politicians at the debates so far. Get Dennis Kucinich off the stage for God's sake and let's hear what Mr. Gingrich has to say.
My friend Les Lothringer, who lives and works in China and has spent his lifetime understanding international business says, "The U.S. has made a mistake allowing so much manufacturing and R&D to come here [to China], or anywhere for that matter. It should be brought back to the U.S. The Chinese economy will slow. Americans will learn some financial discipline and American domestic technical know-how, which made the US pre-eminent, will assert itself."
To ignore Les' advice is folly, we believe. Viewed as a monopoly board, all the hotels and properties are headed out of the U.S.
And we are not even discussing this mass migration.
