“Narratives
are a product of a media system, of a controlled corporate media
matrix. And that is really what we have in the United States and in
the West, generally speaking. … The media is an appendage of the
ruling establishment, the public relations arm of the imperial
system.”
The late
German statesman Konrad Adenauer once said: “History is the sum
total of things that could have been avoided.”
Adenauer was
speaking in the post-World War II period, but with Cold War rhetoric
being bandied about again today across the media airwaves with
“Russian Aggression” as the main talking point by pundits– it
almost feels inevitable that we’re careening toward World War III.
But why do
politicians continue to refuse to learn from the past mistakes of
empires? Why do they continue to read past atrocities as a how-to
guide for running the world today?
The Plymouth
Institute for Peace Research reported last year that “the and
(NATO) have been encircling Russia and China with military bases and
missile defense systems,” aiming to gain “control over natural
resources to keep competing markets dependent on the U.S. as well as
in line with its interests.”
Thus, after
years of economic and political maneuvering, the long-simmering
tensions in U.S.-China relations may be finally coming to a boil. The
Pentagon is openly calling for a military buildup off of China’s
shores, and both sides accuse one another of engaging in
cyberwarfare.

As
the US seek to isolate China, it seems that the
Chinese are turning to the Shanghai Cooperation Organization
(SCO), seeking to shield their inner security.
The US moves in Asian Pasific, show the ultimate target. It
appears that the SCO formation in 2001 was another tactical win by
the Sino-Russian block, against the - occupied with the war on
terrorism - West, to be used
against future plans by the global neoliberal dictatorship, which
would probably include the dissolution of the vast Russian
territory and the dangerous isolation of China by land and sea.
