What's worrying Hedda was that we were told that (to learn Mandarin) in the 1980s at school during an Economics lesson. Always stayed with me. |

fascinating interview with a US China watcher explaining their '150 year plan'..always knew they planned generations ahead but this has been underway since Mao.
Now moving into an important phase with the growth of the Middle Class- around 50 million but expected to double every few years.
Embracing best bits of Capitalism. Market Economy. Socialism (is JK Chinese spy?).. have the USA in debt to them, courting third world countries, Cuba, South America, South Pacific, especially Venezuala with largest oil deposits in world..and watching as US bankrupts itself with endless wars.
And with Russia- together they have more nuclear weapons that anyone else.
tell your grand children to learn Mandarin.  |

Today's Anglo-American agenda-and-media are a new form of Fascism.
"Had the Nazis not invaded Europe, Auschwitz and the Holocaust would not have happened. Had the United States and its satellites not initiated their war of aggression in Iraq in 2003, almost a million people would be alive today; and Islamic State, or ISIS, would not have us in thrall to its savagery.
They are the progeny of modern fascism, weaned by the bombs, bloodbaths and lies that are the surreal theatre known as news.
Like the fascism of the 1930s and 1940s, big lies are delivered with the precision of a metronome: thanks to an omnipresent, repetitive media and its virulent censorship by omission.
Robert Parry, one of America's most distinguished investigative journalists, who revealed the Iran-Contra scandal, wrote recently, 'No European government, since Adolf Hitler's Germany, has seen fit to dispatch Nazi storm troopers to wage war on a domestic population, but the Kiev regime has and has done so knowingly. Yet across the West's media/political spectrum, there has been a studious effort to cover up this reality even to the point of ignoring facts that have been well established... If you wonder how the world could stumble into world war three - much as it did into world war one a century ago - all you need to do is look at the madness over Ukraine that has proved impervious to facts or reason.'
Uniting fascism old-and-new is the cult of superiority. 'I believe in American exceptionalism with every fibre of my being,' said Obama, evoking declarations of national fetishism from the 1930s. As the historian Alfred W. McCoy has pointed out, it was the Hitler devotee, Carl Schmitt, who said, 'The sovereign is he who decides the exception.' This sums up Americanism, the world's dominant ideology. That it remains unrecognised as a predatory ideology is the achievement of an equally unrecognised brainwashing. Insidious, undeclared, presented wittily as enlightenment on the march, its conceit insinuates western culture.
I grew up on a cinematic diet of American glory, almost all of it a distortion. I had no idea that it was the Red Army that had destroyed most of the Nazi war machine, at a cost of as many as 13 million soldiers. By contrast, US losses, including in the Pacific, were 400,000. Hollywood reversed this."
