Before It’s News – by Mort Amsel China’s most powerful military leader, in an unusual public statement, last week ordered military forces to prepare for combat, as Chinese warships deployed to waters near disputed islands and anti-Japan protests throughout the country turned violent.
Protests against the Japanese government’s purchase of three privately held islands in the Senkakus chain led to mass street protests, the burning of Japanese flags, and attacks on Japanese businesses and cars in several cities. Some carried signs that read “Kill all Japanese,” and “Fight to the Death” over disputed islands. One sign urged China to threaten a nuclear strike against Japan.

Who do you think would come out on top in a fight over the Gas and Oil rich Senkaku Islands? -Mort
You know, I’m beginning to think this whole war with Japan dilemma, which is instigated by the U.S. is just a way for the U.S. to distract or prevent China from attacking us when we attack Iran in the Middle East. It makes perfect strategic sense.
I’ve said it before, Japan is a mere pawn being played by the U.S. while they try and attack Iran. The only thing I’m wondering is how the hell they are going to distract or deal with Russia. Any thoughts?
Georgia is the answer… Georgia round 2 will keep the Russians busy.
Good point. That could be it. I think I remember Hitlery saying something about Georgia along those lines a while ago. It wouldn’t surprise me.
Yes , they are arming Georgia as we speak.
HAARP wars?
“Protests against the Japanese government’s purchase of three privately held islands in the Senkakus chain led to mass street protests, the burning of Japanese flags, and attacks on Japanese businesses and cars in several cities.

Apparently brainwashing works as well in China as it does with the sheeple in this country.
Hey, I’ve told my wife, that I find it strange that since they have been disputing these islands for decades, that all of a sudden when the U.S. is ready to attack Iran, that this thing is blown way out of proportion by the media. And the protests against Japan in China are true but my question to that is, why all of a sudden is there such a big protest about it. I’m thinking the Chinese media and these protesters are being paid by someone to start and exploit this for the mere purpose of distracting them from Iran. Also, this same thing happened to us when the Occupy movement began. I’m think a George Soros wannabe is funding these protests and media campaign. It’s the only thing that makes sense. It’s like the Occupy movement in China.
“Apparently brainwashing works as well in China as it does with the sheeple in this country.”
I completely agree with you there. After living in China, I can say that this thing is probably as big of a brainwashing propaganda as the Beijing 2008 Olympics was 2 years before it even took place. Everywhere you went, it was “Beijing Olympics! Beijing Olympics!” Now it is probably “Attack Japan! Attack Japan!” Especially with their new, warmongering/I don’t take no shit, president that they are putting in power soon, Xi Jin Ping. The U.S. better watch out. Xi Jin Ping is going to make Hu Jintao look like a saint.
I’ve said it before, the U.S. is becoming more like China and China is becoming more like the U.S. Both Communist/Socialist countries and both have many child-like sheeple who will listen to their government regardless of the gravity or reality of the situation. So sad.
All the years they had Mao in check are LONG gone.
Don’t be fooled this time by thinking that China will not know that they are being easily distracted. As I said before, NEVER underestimate the Chinese government. I’m sure they have a trick or two up their sleeve as well. You think the Zionists are masters of deception, well wait until they meet the Chinese government.
Yes, the last time they jumped out of the box, was with the EP3 incident, where the pilots showed to be able to down a plane without shooting it down, but just flying in front of its wings, and removing the lift…
(A trick American fighter pilots couldn’t reproduce on 911 with harmless airliners 😉
Chinese think diferently.
Let them them sleep in peace thinkin that we are under control.
They play GO not Chess. The profits of long term thinking over the short term investment of any sacrifice rendering profit.
700,000,000 available men for war. That is a lot of molten .50 barrels, and they still keep coming wave after wave after wave of flesh.
There’s an old Chinese joke that they like to say, “If we don’t have enough bullets to kill you, we’ll definitely have enough dead bodies to throw at you.” LOL
Also, TranceAm, to compare them with a 2001 incident is like comparing the technology and people of 20 years ago to technology and people of today. The Chinese have spent the last ten years upgrading their military while catching up with the world as far as the economy is concerned and I agree their quality is piss poor commercially, but militarily is a slightly different story. It could go either way. Also, their production is extremely fast because of their cheap labor and their high population. They can create a 20 mile superhighway (which was at least 20 feet above the ground) in 8 months to a year (which they did for the Shanghai Expo a couple years ago. I was living there at the time, so I know this first hand) and build a hockey style arena in less than 5 months by working day and night. Something that would take 3-5 years to do in the U.S. if not more. So they are NOT the little men with rickshaws that the media tries to portray. As a matter of fact, the Chinese government banned rickshaws because it made them look old-fashion and they wanted to look more modern to the world. So as I said, they are tricky and quick learners. Don’t underestimate them. In a lot of ways they are doing better than us economically, as you probably know, thanks to dickheads like Obama and Romney sending our jobs to them. Also, they’ve been buying real estate in Toledo, Ohio and Idaho, etc. So they are not that poor, either. lol
and yet it was the “Zionists” that created communism, so I am confused re China , but I still hold out some forlorn hope that there will be an opposition and that the solution will get us all on another plane of peaceful cohabitation.
a little primer.

and don’t forget Fukushima and Japan’s need for clean land, wherever it may be had (if at all).
NC,
And they better not underestimate us and our aptitude for creating technology. It is an ugly thing but a race specific virus could even the odds pretty quick. God pray it doesn’t come to that, and absolutely no offense to your better half.
Guess what else, NC. China and Russia just dumped the dollar. I sent in the article, it should post tomorrow.
And so the economic war continues…….
India also joined them in dumping the dollar, too, #1.
Hasta La Vista, Fed.
Did you get my email about the A.J. scandal?
I left Starbucks early last night, went home to watch a movie, but saw it this morning.
and what were you doing in starbucks?! it’s only the most zionist coffee chain :p
With all due respect, what company, store or corporation ISN’T a Zionist chain these days?
Modern Armed forces will win and not the evil red army!
