	China, the new "Best Enemy That Money Can Buy"      When I state that our government and our media lie to us, some people respond by saying that it doesn't hurt them and so they don't care.      Some things do hurt us, however, and, more importantly perhaps, have the potential to have devastating effects on our children and grandchildren.   Let us consider China.  China has a huge population and is run by a Communist government.  This is the same government that used soldiers and tanks to slaughter thousands of pro-democracy students in Tienaman Square.  Under Communism, China has killed tens of millions of its own people; very likely the largest mass murder of people in the history of the world.  I am told that now, today, China has enough young men of military age to be able to assemble an army of 100 million men.  All they need is the manufacturing capacity to support such an army.  The international corporations of the world, in cooperation with the US government and others, is rapidly giving China such a capacity   China is becoming the manufacturing center of the world.  More and more products which were formerly made in the US are now made in China.  Go to Wal-Mart or Home Depot or virtually any large store and look at the products and where they are made.   I recall back in the late 1990's how US steel mills were hurting because of cheap steel coming into the US from Brazil and other places.  Then a few years later I began hearing people from whom I purchase steel products say that there was an actual steel shortage in the world.  The reason for the shortage was that China was, and is, buying huge amounts of steel for construction and production.  Recall that all the "scrap steel" from the twin towers 9-11 disaster (which was actually crime scene evidence) was rapidly gathered up and shipped off to China.   We are literally building up China to the point where China can become more powerful than we are.  China is a nuclear power.  China has had access to much of our missile technology, often thanks to Israel selling them secret technology which the US gave to the Jewish State.  In the next decade the Chinese navy is projected to be bigger than our own.  Combine this with the little known fact that China now virtually owns and controls the Panama Canal, and you have the scenario for the previously unthinkable; an invasion of mainland USA by a Chinese Army coming up through Mexico, supported by a huge fleet of ships.  Such an army would be able to suffer a loss ratio of ten killed on their side for every one US soldier lost and still win.   This was exactly the method articulated by North Vietmanese General Giap in the Vietnam War and was the loss ratio considered acceptable to the Soviet forces when fighting the Germans in World War II.   This support of communist countries by the US is nothing new.  The Soviet Union was literally built up to the status of a super power by the United States.  The Bolshevik revolution of 1917, which overthrew the Czar of Russia and led to the murder of tens of millions of Russian Christians, was largely financed with American money. See National Suicide, Military Aid to the Soviet Union by Anthony C. Sutton or None Dare Call it Conspiracy by Gary Allen.  These books extensively document how the Soviet Union was built up and maintained with American money and technology, and how our media cooperated with the government in hiding these facts from the American people.    Whether China is destined to be a real power or to be used as the threat that gets the US to continue to squander a huge part of our national wealth on "defense" remains to be seen.       When I look at a product made in China there are several thoughts likely to cross my mind.  Was this made with slave labor?  China still has millions of political prisoners who are used as slave laborers.  Was this made under conditions which exploited the workers?  How many American jobs were lost when they started making this product?  I am interested to see what happens when Chinese made automobiles enter the marketplace, projected to start in 2007. The Black Book of Communism; crimes, terror and repression by Stephane Courtois and others is a book well worth reading.  This book gives a country by country assessment of the history of communism.  It is not a pretty picture.   A couple things make this book especially significant.  First is that many records from the Communist government of the Soviet Union have been made available to scholars since the "fall" of the Soviet Union..  It appears that although the Soviets lied to the outside world constantly, they were also fanatical about keeping exact records for government use.  These records confirm in excruciating detail the multi millions of innocent people systematically murdered by their own Communist government.  This book draws on these records from the Communists themselves.      The other amazing thing is that the writers of this book are or were themselves dedicated Communists in the country they write about.  When these people talk about so many thousands or millions killed they have some authority.  Their bias, if any, would be assumed to be to minimize Communist party crimes yet here they document so many horrors in page after page.  They show you, for example, the hand scribbled note from Stalin approving the execution at one time of more people than all the anti-Czar agitators executed in over a hundred years before the Communist takeover.
