A MASSIVE ANTI-GOVERNMENT protest movement has again sprung up in Taiwan after yet another food scandal. Protesters are calling for senior officials to resign because of the scale of the problem. It started with the discovery that widely used type of cooking oil in Taiwan was contaminated with a cancer-causing chemical. But then it was gradually revealed that the oil had been used in more than 400 types of product, including instant noodles, ready meals, salad dressings, rice balls, bento boxes and so on. . NOTHING FELT SAFE In other words, almost everyone would likely have consumed it. Nothing felt safe. Worst of all, it was revealed to have been used widely in school lunches for no one knew how long. A local media poll found that more than 60% of people supported the anti-government protests. Focus Taiwan reported that a Legislative Yuan committee approved a motion proposed by opposition lawmakers calling for resignations of senior officials. One protest, on July 25, was huge – with organizers saying that 200,000 attended. Further rallies are planned. . ALLIED TO ISRAEL The Washington-controlled Democratic Progressive Party is deeply unpopular, but scraped back into power with the backing of less than 30% of registered voters, because of disarray among opposition parties. Taiwan’s DPP is closely allied to Israel, and is erecting a building in the west bank, a Palestinian area that is being gradually taken over by Jewish settlers. In recent years, the public in Taiwan has been deeply suspicious of pork products -- after the DPP removed restrictions banning the import of US pork containing ractopamine, a chemical additive to meat banned in China and many other states, including the nations of Europe. . .

THE PLANNED U.S. ATTACK ON IRAN has a hitch: most of the missile-targeting crew are queuing for toilets on the lead vessel, the USS Gerald R Ford. This is not a joke. A set of emails was obtained by NPR, a US public broadcasting group, revealing that toilet wars have broken out on board the most expensive ship the US Navy ever built. The Wall St Journal followed up to confirm the tale today. TLDR Summary: There are too few functioning toilets for 4,600 sailors and the problem is worsening daily—there’s no chance of fixing the system without returning the ship to the US dockyards. . BIG PROBLEMS TO DISCHARGE Problem one: Design planners screwed up by including too few toilets for 4,600 sailors, leading to 45-minute queues on a daily basis. Problem two: Engineers screwed up by installing a fragile vacuum system in which a single valve breakdown on one toilet can stop all the toilets in an entire department functioning—making the queues even longer. Problem three: Some of the temporary repair operations (such as using an acid flush to clear out calcium build-ups) can only be done while the ship is docked: no prospect of that. But with so many toilets out of order, too much pressure is put on the ones still working, so the problem will just spread. . KEY PLAYER IN U.S. ATTACKS And the issues have been gradually mounting for more than a year. “A March 18, 2025 email from the engineering department sent out to all chiefs on the ship said there were 205 [toilet] breakdowns in four days,” the NPR reported. The ship is at the heart of US overseas attack operations, working for months in waters near Venezuela, to support the abduction of the country’s president and the seizing of ships carrying oil to customers, and is now heading the planned regime change operation in Iran. Israel wants a pro-Netanyahu leader installed, as the US has done in many other countries. But how can they attack Iran while staff are queuing for the loo? . WAR OF WORDS ON BOARD One result of all this is war between sailors and on-board sewage staff (called Hull Technicians, or HTs). One sewage engineering head complained that the sailors put all sorts of problematic material down the toilets, including t-shirts: “Our sewage system is being mistreated and destroyed by Sailors on a daily basis. My HT's are currently working 19 hours a day right now trying to keep up with the demand.” Sigh. And the US taxpayer spent US$13 billion on the ship. On the plus side, it would be delightful if the carrier’s desperate lack of functioning toilets caused the attack on Iran was cancelled or postponed.

EVERYTHING JAPANESE IS REALLY CHINESE. Seriously? Well, yes. I mean, this title is clearly a generalization, so what it means is that the main cultural items that are widely assumed across the world to be Japanese actually come from China. . 1. Ramen Raman is a Chinese noodle dish, not Japanese. It was brought to Japan by Chinese travellers in the late 1800s. The original Japanese name for it was “shina soba” meaning Chinese noodles. . 2. Japanese writing The Japanese writing system known as Kanji has a name formed of two elements. Kanji literally means Han Writing. Han is the biggest ethnic group in China. . 3. The Kimono This was an adaptation of the type of draped silk clothing from China known as Hanfu. After the start of the Heian period in Japan in 794 AD, it became popular in Japan and started to acquire unique Japanese elements. . 4. Blossom trees Japan’s famous cherry blossoms actually come a tree indigenous not to Japan, but to the Himalayas, which border southwest China—in fact a long way from Japan. The practice of celebrating the annual blossoming of beautiful trees such as the cherry blossom and the plum blossom spread from southwest China to Korea and Japan, taking several centuries to make that journey. . 5. Sushi Sushi is fish with vinegared rice. It is vinegared to give it a pickled taste which is a clue towards its origins: a Chinese pickled dish in which salted fish was wrapped in fermented rice. Even today in Japan, a sushi kitchen is called a tsuke-ba, which means ‘pickling place’. . 6. The Japanese language Japan has its own language, sure – but statisticians say that at least 60 per cent of Japanese vocabulary comes from Chinese origins. . 7. Being ruled by an Emperor In the early 7th century, the Japanese adopted the title of Emperor from China for their own leaders. They used the same Chinese characters, and the same concept that the leader, by definition, was the Son of Heaven. This new rank was then retroactively applied to all past Japanese rulers, who all become emperors and sons of heaven. . 8. Bonsai. The practice of growing miniature trees and creating tiny landscapes developed in China, more than 1,500 years ago. It was known as penjing. The technique was introduced to Japan in the 7th century. . 9. Sashimi It was the Chinese rather than the Japanese who realized more than 1800 years ago that the flesh of certain fish was delicious eaten raw – no cooking necessary. Food historian Jacqueline Newman says that raw fish consumption began in southern China before 200 AD. It came to Japan about 11 hundred years later. . 10. The tea ceremony The tea ceremony originated in China during the Tang Dynasty, which is 600 to 900 AD, as a meditative health practice, before evolving into artistic ritual by the time of the Song Dynasty, which started in 960 AD. It was then taken to Japan by monks, like many Chinese cultural practices. . 11. The board game called GO In western culture, Go is a game associated with Japan. In reality, it is the world’s oldest known board game, originating in China about 4,000 years ago, according to Encyclopedia Britannica. The game was taken from China to Japan in 500 AD, which is “comparatively recently” in Chinese terms. . 12. Green tea Green tea, or matcha, comes from China and has been consumed for probably 4,000 years. It was brought to Japan by monks during the 8th and 9th centuries—very recently by Chinese standards! Two holy men, Saichō and Kukai, are credited with bringing it over the waters to Japan. . 13. Architecture The Japanese admired China’s extraordinarily long-lasting structures made of interlocking wooden elements and there was a lot of temple-building based on Chinese innovations in sixth century Japan. The Japanese capital, Nara, copied the checkerboard street layout of the Chinese capital, Chang’an. But, it must be said, the Japanese afterwards developed many of their own unique architectural elements. . 14. The Asian super-sword It was actually Tang dynasty scientists in China who revolutionized sword-making in the 7th century with a blade called the baogangfa – they fused high carbon steel (which enable sharpness) with low-carbon iron (which provided strength). The result was a blade that could slice through samurai armor. Japanese envoys brought Chinese swords back to Japan in the 700s. To give them due credit, the Japanese improved both the recipe and the design, to eventually come up with the curved katana sword. . 15. Cultural figures One of the most famous pop culture items from Japan is Dragonball. The creator of Dragonball fully admitted that his story was simply a retelling of the Chinese classic Journey to the West. Pokemon, another Japanese modern classic, has many ancient Chinese elements, too – research the nine-tailed fox for example. . 16. Zen An Indian monk named Bodhidharma came to China around 520 AD. His teachings became combined with Chinese philosophies such as Daoism. That led to the development of a practice called Chan, which is how the word Zen was originally pronounced. Records indicate that Chinese Chan Buddhism reached Japan in the 7th century but was not firmly established in that country until the 12th century. . CONCLUSIONS? Okay, there are 16 items – things assumed to be Japanese by many people, but which are rooted in Chinese culture. But there are others. So feel free to add more. Or shoot down the ones I have listed, if you prefer. Why do so many Japanese items come from China? Well, for much of history, China was the cool place, the happening place, the creative place, the dominant cultural center of the most highly populated part of the world. So naturally people wanted to visit it. One ancient record show that between AD 603 and AD 839, the Japanese alone sent at least 17 diplomatic missions to the Tang Dynasty royal courts in China. And I am going to add one more item to my list. Do the Japanese people themselves come from China? A short discussion of that somewhat controversial question comes at the end of the video. Read widely. Peace.

LARGE NUMBERS OF Americans harshly criticized China’s re-usable booster rocket on social media, saying that the US had already achieved similar feats. They are missing the point. The world took such an interest in China’s achievement not because they claimed to be first--they did not--but because a nation from a poor part of the world successfully did what the world’s wealthiest country had done. Remember, China had the same GDP as India as recently as 1986. It’s not specific achievements, but the speed and velocity of China’s rise that is terrifying the US political-media establishment. And that’s why the US is heavily arming Japan, Taiwan, Australia and a dozen other places to stand by to attack China. . COMPARE PROGRESS The missing context of the reports is this: The US, European nations, and New Zealand are ALL actively working on creating reusable rockets of one kind or another. For an Asian nation to zoom to second place is notable. What the Chinese did this week was to fire a rocket into space and successfully land an orbital booster at sea, for reuse. In achieving this, it can be said that China’s Long March 10B rocket is following in the footsteps of the US. Other rockets which have done this are Falcon 9 in 2015 (by SpaceX, helmed by Elon Musk) and New Glenn in 2025 (by Blue Origin, a Jeff Bezos project). . AHEAD OF EUROPE Yet the Chinese did not demonstrate a copy of those systems, but a unique set-up of their own, with the rocket guided down into a floating landing pad while firing retro-boosters. By achieving this feat, the Chinese have overtaken other rich countries, confirming the velocity of China’s rise. Europe’s Ariane Group has been working with the European Space Agency on a reusable rocket stage called Themis. A New Zealand-US project called Rocket Lab has fired boosters, and then parachuted them into the ocean, so parts can be reused on later launches. China has apparently overtaken both projects. . NEXT: SCI-FI ROCKETS It is worth noting that the Chinese are testing multiple systems—so they are also deploying systems where a rocket flies straight up and then returns to earth, intact, to land upright, in the style which has been seen for a half a century in sci-fi movies. Active Chinese companies in this area include LandSpace, Space Epoch, Deep Blue Aerospace and Galactic Energy. So China can say to its American critics: “Yes, you were first. But we’re happy to be making remarkable progress in this area.” Yet the elite in the US will think differently. Their attitude is more likely to be something like this: “Hey, we may be number one now, but at the rate they are going, we’re gonna be eating their dust. How can we Tonya them?” .

MI6 PLAN TO CUT CHINA INTO THREE COUNTRIES BREAKING NEWS: Unearthed documents show that MI6, the British spy service, planned to cut China into three separate countries. The British plan was formulated as recently as the 1990s—and part of it is STILL RUNNING NOW. This is an extraordinary story which researchers uncovered from historical documents, and which was presented at a university conference recently. Full details with sources are in the video report. Summary of 15 key points are below. 1.) In the early 1990s, agents at British spy agency MI6 consulted UK academic Gerald Segal of the Royal Institute of International Affairs on how to chop China into three countries. 2.) The UK’s key players would be Uyghur separatists. “Xinjiang has long been a target of British intelligence— with London hoping to manipulate the Uighur refugees from Xinjiang and Uighurs still there, into cannon fodder for London's plans to break up China…” (Journal of Strategic Studies). 3.) Enter a real-life secret agent—a Turkish man named Catli of the Grey Wolves, who shared MI6 goals in Xinjiang. A book about a related CIA venture called Operation Gladio said Catli “helped the Uyghurs… mount insurrectionary attacks that killed 162 people”. 4.) To understand this story, it’s vital to know that the west falsely presents an image of Xinjiang as a place where one ethnic group are prisoners and the other are oppressive overlords. Not true. In Xinjiang, people with Uyghur background can commonly be found as police officers, army soldiers, and local officials, including the ones right at the top—chairman of the regional government. 5.) In March 1992, the chairman of the regional government, Tomur Dawamat, issued a warning: “Hostile forces, both at home and abroad, have stepped up their infiltration, subversion and sabotage.” 6.) At the time, the CIA was backing separatist Isa Yusef Alptekin, another backer of the Grey Wolves. In a 1992 speech he said: "The time for collapse and dissolution has arrived for the Chinese empire.” 7.) The Americans gave his son Erkin Alptekin a job in US anti-China propaganda. In the 1990s, he worked for Radio Liberty, a US media propaganda unit, part of the Radio Free Asia cluster. 8.) By 1994, academic Gerald Segal had finished the map showing how to cut China into three countries. The US had already circulated stories of a “Tibetan genocide” to prepare for this. 9.) As part of their Central Asian program, the US had devoted hundreds of millions of dollars to get the mujahideen rebels to train groups of guerilla fighters. They added hundreds of Xinjiang separatists to join the training. (This project eventually backfired for the Americans – the central Asian guerilla groups they were financing give birth to al-Qaeda, ISIS and the Taliban.) 10.) Western forces worked further with secret agent Catli, who created more trouble in Central Asia and China. But he made lots of enemies and was killed in a suspicious car crash in Turkey in 1996. 11.) From 1996 to 2002, other agents continued to train Uyghur separatists in China, who went on to make multiple terrorist attacks. FBI whistleblower Sibel Edmonds later wrote: “Between 1996 and 2002, we, the United States, planned, financed, and helped execute every single uprising and terror-related scheme in Xinjiang.” (This US government denies this.) 12.) Problems arose for the western agents: UN data showed that the Tibetan population was growing faster than other Chinese groups– the opposite of a genocide. Also, there was also growing public knowledge that the “Tibet exiles/ Dalai Lama” project in India had been set up and financed by the CIA. So the “cut-China-into-three” plan became “cut-China-into-two”. 13.) In 2004, the US hosted the founding of East Turkistan as “a country”. For convenience, they decided to have the prime minister in Washington DC instead of China, selecting a man named Anwar Jusuf Turani from Fairfax, Virginia. The new “country” did not get international recognition by anyone – not even the United States! 14.) Between 2007 and 2014, there were a large number of terrorist attacks in China by members of the East Turkistan project the west had encouraged into being. In a 2009 operation, separatists used Facebook to co-ordinate a massive attack in which 197 people died. In another, a huge car bomb in Urumqi killed 43 people and wounded 94. At Kunming’s train station, an attack by eight knife-wielding terrorists killed 29 people and wounded 140. Xinjiang’s leaders, with help from the central government, sent in police officers and soldiers to halt the carnage—and, against extraordinary odds, succeeded. 15.) In the 20-teens, it was time for the Americans to use their superpower – narrative control. They needed to do three things: i) Get journalists and academics to cut all mentions of MI6 or CIA involvement in Chinese Uyghur stories. ii) Trick the public into seeing the terrorists who had killed so many innocent people as the oppressed victims. iii) Mislead everyone into believing that the authorities trying to stop the murder of innocents were the root cause of the problem. Creating this new, upside-down narrative may sound like a tall order – but, incredibly, they managed to attain all three goals. They did this by relentless circulation of mainstream media news reports which painted a picture in which “oppression” by “the Chinese” had “created” the violence. (See the video for detailed examples.) The US then organized a 2019 meeting in Washington to relaunch the debunked “Tibet genocide” narrative as a Uyghur genocide hoax. The story continues.

CHINA’S LEADER XI JINPING TOLD DONALD TRUMP the truth about Jimmy Lai on Thursday—and the US President immediately backed off on calls for him to be freed. Here’s what happened. Trump raised the topic and Xi “went through a whole thing”, the US leader said afterwards. The facts the Chinese leader gave him were so powerful that the discussion moved on to other topics. . THE DETAILS So what did he say? ‘He went through a whole thing.’ No press was allowed into that discussion, but the present writer has seen some of the China documentation on the Jimmy Lai trial and it is accurate, detailed and evidence-based—unlike the reports in the western mainstream media. No western media attended the Jimmy Lai trial, and all wrongly presented it as a press freedom issue. Not true. It was fundamentally a foreign collusion case with more than 2000 pieces of evidence, none of which were quoted in the international press. . SO MUCH TO SAY There’s so many facts the Chinese leader could have included. Such as the fact that Jimmy Lai was shown to be in communication with multiple anti-China people in Washington, including Mike Pompeo (director of the CIA and later Secretary of State); James Cunningham, a US diplomat who ran a notorious China demonization operation; defense official Paul Wolfowitz; and others in the White House and in the US State Department, including John Bolton, the mustache man who just likes to bomb everyone in sight. The Chinese leader may also have told him that since at least 2014, Jimmy Lai had secretly distributed huge amounts of overseas cash to anti-China agents cultivated in Hong Kong by the Washington-based NED, an operation that Trump’s own administration describes as one which “destabilizes sovereign governments”. And there’s much more, too. Whatever Xi Jinping said to Donald Trump, it was enough for the US leader to realize that this man could not be released—and they moved on to other topics. For the people of Hong Kong, who are STILL unfairly suffering from the sanctions that Jimmy Lai worked with Mike Pompeo and others to introduce, justice will continue to be done.

REVEALED: Israeli spy agency Mossad sold Donald Trump a plot to instantly take out Iran—but it had one fatal flaw. And that one little mistake has put the United States firmly in the crosshairs of a war it cannot win—and is creating global panic over oil prices. . The top secret dossier, sold to the US by Mossad director David Barnea had a clear argument, that we can summarize as a four part narrative. One: A network of fake “Iranian NGOs” in the west would circulate a story that Iran had massacred 30,000 or more peaceful protesters, The story would be spread in order to manufacture consent for the west to launch a war against Iran. Two: The Americans would demand to have negotiations with the Iranians to distract them, by having them focusing on peace plans. Three: During this distraction, the US and Israeli air forces would then launch an attack that would take out the entire government of Iran, leaving all seats of power empty—including the peace negotiators. Four: Radical extreme opposition members in Iran, cultivated by Mossad, the CIA, and the NED, would then take control of the country—and install US puppet Reza Pahlavi as a proxy for Washington and Tel Aviv. . IT WORKED. AT FIRST And you know what? Every part of that plan worked perfectly. Except there was one key detail they had got wrong. And that brought the whole edifice crashing down. . ONE: DEMONIZING IRAN The story really starts in January. Mossad and the CIA worked with radical opposition members in Iran to launch a coup at the start of January in which armed men destroyed 700 shops, 305 ambulances and buses, 414 civil service buildings and 750 banks. [SEE VIDEO] They attacked 350 mosques, which is very strange for supposedly Muslim rioters– but they attacked not one synagogue. This was a major insurrection in which people on all sides lost their lives, with more than 3,000 dead after the coup was put down. But this armed coup was repackaged by fake NGOs in the west as a massacre of at least 30,000 peaceful protesters - or maybe 50,000 or 70,000 - by “the regime”. Mossad wanted the fake number to be more than the actual number of people the IDF killed in Gaza. This part worked perfectly. Here’s Time magazine [video] reporting that 30,000 died. Most of the western media supported this. Not one of them reported that the funding for these NGOs could be traced back to western political propaganda groups such as the NED, a CIA spin-off group. . TWO: FAKE PEACE NEGOTIATIONS Part Two of the plan also went better than they could have hoped for. The Americans not only successfully held "peace negotiations", but the Iranians actually made multiple concessions, giving Washington virtually everything it wanted. So the Americans could simply have proceeded with those and got what they wanted anyway. But the US and Israel decided to go ahead with Part Three anyway. (More 'fun'?) . THREE: KILLING GOVERNMENT LEADERS And you know what? That also worked perfectly, from beginning to end – in a surprise, unprovoked attack, the US and Israel killed not just the leader, but 40 members of the Iranian government. Now just imagine the outrage if any country took out the entire government of the UK or Germany or Canada or Australia. The world’s media would be writing editorials about it for years, literally years. . FOUR: THE PUPPET The Mossad-CIA plot was going exactly as planned. All they needed to do was achieve part four: the transfer of power to a US Juan Guaidó figure—a man already selected and waiting in the wings. The western media found supporters of the opposition in Iran to film expressing happiness, and tried to pretend that this was “all” the Iranians. But this was clearly not true. The vast majority of Iranians, including people involved in the violent protest of January, were horrified. . FATAL FLAW Now here’s where the fatal error showed up. Mossad’s plan failed to take into account one thing. There had been a change of attitude last year. Between June the 13th and the 24th of 2025, Israel attacked Iran, killing nuclear scientists, politicians and civilians, as well as members of the armed forces. That was also, clearly an illegal, unprovoked attack. No western leader cared—but the people of Iran, all the political parties, did care. They were outraged. Why are Israel and the United States allowed to just murder people in other countries and get away it? Support for the Iranian government rose dramatically. Mossad assumed that because their contacts, the extreme radical members of the opposition groups, still opposed the government, that many Iranians did. But that just was not true. The Iranians in general had become far more supportive of their government, and opposed to the US and Israel, than Mossad believed. . IRANIANS UNITED Donald Trump told the Iranian people that it was now over to you – signalling that part four should go ahead: a takeover by people allied to Washington and Tel Aviv. But it didn’t happen. So part four of the plan did not work. The Iranians drew together and fought back. Under United Nations law, they had full legal rights to respond to an illegal attack. They made defensive forays to take out the military bases around the gulf which were attacking them, and they closed the Strait of Hormuz. Trump was horrified and furious – not with the Iranians but with Netanyahu and Barnea, the Mossad chief. And this explains why he kept making contradictory statements – he kept saying things that implied the war would be over very quickly, as the original plan said, while also acknowledging that the opposite was true. Remember how he used the phrase “short term excursion”. He also said the war would last four days only. And he also said the war was “already over”. And so on. So we can see that the plan, as sold to him, was a quick in-and-out operation, just as it had been in Venezuela – so that was what he had in his head. . IF YOU SHOOT THE KING… Netanyahu, deeply embarrassed to have helped sell a war to Trump that had spiralled out of control, went into hiding—he was so deep undercover that rumours circulated that said he was dead. For Mossad and the CIA, the plot failed. There’s an ancient saying that all plotters know. “If you are going to shoot at the king, you better kill the king.” What the US and Israel did was shoot the leadership of Iran. But they failed to kill the leadership of Iran. So now they are in trouble. And you know what? I don’t think there is any sympathy for them.

BOOKMARK, COPY OR DOWNLOAD THIS. Every time someone says “but the Iranians massacred 30,000 or 50,000 of their own peaceful protesters”, just share these 10 facts and/or the video. 1. In early January, Mossad and CIA assets armed radical opposition members in Iran to undertake an armed insurrection in which 3,000 people (on all sides) lost their lives. There’s plenty of video evidence for that. 2. That was turned into a fake massacre story of 30,000 or 50,000 or 70,000 victims, by so called “activist groups”, widely quoted, as fact, by the western mainstream media—although no evidence was provided. A simple investigation shows that every single one of these groups can be traced back to the US or its “five eyes” partners, the UK and Canada. 3. The western mainstream started pushing the fake story by quoting from a group called Human Rights in Iran, which is not in Iran—it’s from Virginia, home of the CIA, and is financed by the NED, the CIA’s soft-power spin off. 4. The fake news was backed up by a group called the Center for Human Rights in Iran, which is also NOT in Iran, and is also in the US. 5. Another group, Iran International, can be traced back to the UK. 6. Then there was the International Center for Human Rights, which turned out to be in Canada. 7. Still other sources backing the fake massacre turned out to be supporters of America’s Reza Pahlava (Juan Guaido II), such as the one quoted by Time magazine. 8. The most quoted person on western mainstream television is Masih Alinejad, who said “millions” were massacred. She worked for many years as a full-time anti-Iran propagandist, with financing from the NED and a salary from Voice of America. 9. The fake tale was further pushed by the Bouramond Center for Human Rights, another group financed by the NED, and 10. Tavaana, started by the US State Department and financed by USAID, a notorious group that disguises CIA politicking as aid. Those are the facts. Now here’s the key question: why does every western mainstream media group, not most, but… Every. Single. One. hide the above facts from their audiences? Delete the western mainstream media. Find out the truth for yourself.

The US is well advanced in preparations for a war on China. Here are 28 steps taken. Bookmark this, and please add others. 1. BATAN: The US quietly carried out a major operation last summer to deepen the harbour on the island of Batan, south of Taiwan—so that warships can use it on their way to the China coast. 2. LANDING STRIPS: A US team has compiled a list of long flat areas in Asia that can be used as aircraft runways for use in launching fighter jets to bomb China. 3. PRACTICE RUNS: US troops held exercises specifically preparing for an invasion of China last year with armies from Japan, Australia, and Indonesia. 4. TAIWAN TRAINING: The US military landed troops in Taiwan secretly to train soldiers---and they are now learning how to attack amphibious vehicles. 5. TROOPS IN PLACE. More than 100,000 US troops have already been assigned to what the US calls the "Pacific Theatre". 6. SHIFTING SUBS: The US has told Australia that its subs may not be delivered in time (or ever) because all attack subs will be needed close to China. 7. FLOATING ARMS DEPOTS: The US admits it has placed vast amounts of ready-to-grab weapons in places such as Taiwan. 8. DIVISION OF LABOR: Europe has already been told to replace all US troops and weapons in their own parts of the world with local equivalents, so that US troops and hardware can head to China. 9. FIRST WAVE: The first wave of fighters will be Taiwanese using the "proxy war" model to keep actual Americans at a safe distance, as specified in US strategy books. 10. DISINFORMATION: The Pentagon has set up a division called Perception Management to tell the public that China is an expansionist military power, not the USA. Mainstream media is hiding the fact that Taiwan is legally part of China and instead reporting that China "claims" Taiwan. 11. CONFLICT CREATION: The Philippines under new pro-Washington leader President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. has been working hard already for months to create conflicts in the seas. (Video includes specialist analysis of a ship-to-ship dispute.) 12. NINE BASES: Large sums of money have been paid in the Philippines so that it now hosts NINE China-facing bases. 13. OKINAWA: The US has quietly abandoned its 12-yr-old plan to reduce the number of troops in Okinawa. 14. CAMP SCHWAB: Nearby, a landfill bigger than the entire Pentagon will house US helicopters and Osprey rotating-rotor airplanes for use in attacking China. 15. PNG PROBLEMS: The US flew in to PNG to buy the use of three airports, two ports and one naval base, and are renovating a military base on the island to the north. 16. COMMS JAM: Electronic magnetic pulse weapons will be employed to jam communications in China. 17. VANISHING GPS: The US will weaponize the GPS system to force the Chinese to use their much younger homemade system. 18. BANKING ON TROUBLE: The world's main money transfer system, called SWIFT, will be instructed to allow no money into or out of China. 19. DOORSTEP DELIVERY: Standing by in the Pacific right now are special ships [image supplied] which beach themselves on enemy land to discharge 900 tons of attack forces. 20. DANGER FROM THE SKIES: Army paratroopers have recently been training in Hawaii for a mission that would see them ready to land in rural areas outside Chinese cities. 21. STAR WARS: The Pentagon has a special division working specifically on how to attack China from space. 22. SEAPATHS BLOCKED: The US plans a blockade of everything that could go in and out of China by sea by using what they call The First Island Chain and The Second Island Chain—basically friends that Washington has bought and paid for. 23. LAWFARE: Acts will be passed in the US demanding that the whole world boycotts China, exactly as the US did with Russia three years ago. 24. BLACK OPS: The US has been quietly penetrating parts of China with trained troublemakers, as they did in Hong Kong. These people will trigger street battles which the western media will portray as "pro-democracy" protests. CIA and US army intelligence groups will conduct "black ops" inside China in a bid to create chaos. 25. DRONES: The US has a long record of successfully using killer drones. The new generation ones, still under wraps, have AI built in so they can kill people without human help. 26. AIRSTRIKES: The US is currently letting its F-35 pilots practice dropping "bunker buster" bombs on Yemen—these bombs can go through 20 feet of solid rock to kill people hiding in shelters—and are preparing to target China. 27. CASH THEFT: Political leaders in the US and the UK and European nations have already said that they consider themselves entitled to freeze, take, and spend the assets of countries they judge to have behaved aggressively. 28. TECH BROS: The Pentagon has a division that monitors all major tech companies to pull them as needed into the war effort—and they won't be given a choice. .

TODAY: U.S. REHEARSAL FOR WAR ON CHINA Are you ready for war? You might think the world has more than enough wars, but these men [Images: Hegseth and Rubio] want more. The US today launches RIMPAC, seven days of war practice sessions to get ready for a planned US war on China. [Image: NYT headline about US preparing for war on China] The US has pulled in Australia, Japan, and other countries – 31 in all – to rehearse an attack against the world’s second largest economy. . NO ONE BELIEVES OFFICIAL AIM The official aim of the gathering is to “preserve freedom of navigation” but not one person believes it. There are 140 aircraft, 40 ships, five submarines and more than 25,000 personnel, in the Pacific near Hawaii, and I can guarantee that everyone involved knows what it is really about. The excuse, “freedom of navigation” has become a joke, since the ONLY nation that has gone out of its territory to illegal halt freedom of navigation in recent times is the United States, the organizer of this horrific display of warmongering. [Image: blockades in Iran, Cuba] Not only has China ever interrupted freedom of traffic on the seas, it would never do so. Analysts east and west agree on this. It is an export nation. Halting freedom of navigation would only do harm to its economy. . THE REAL DANGER Former diplomat Dr Alison Broinowski, said “There is no impediment to navigation in the Asia-Pacific, nor has there been any such impediment since the end of the Second World War. “We are not facing any threat to regional stability and security from China, our major trading partner. “Rather, it is the ongoing US and Australian provocations in the South China Sea that represent the real danger.” . CHANGING EXCUSE The war plan includes a casus belli – that’s a Latin term basically meaning “excuse to fight”. For a long time, the casus belli was Taiwan. The US creates a false flag explosion there, and off they go. But a number of generals have pointed out that the plan to steal Taiwan’s main industry and move it to Arizona is going slowly. An alternative casus belli is the Philippines. The US will blow up a Philippines ship and blame China. Asians, I hope, will be too smart to get caught up in this – but judging by the number of people who have signed up for RIMPAC, the US has a lot of influence. And by influence, of course, I mean… money.
