Japanese Covid-19 Fatigue Makes Opposing China An Interesting Distraction

Compared to the rest of the world, Japan has fared well in relation to Covid-19, but missteps with vaccines and the death of a baby due to restrictive hospital admittance rules marred an otherwise stellar reford. The result has been the resignation of Prime Minister Suga but many Japanese leaders now want to talk about anything but Covid-19.

The temptation is for Japan’s leaders to turn to the bogeyman to their west, namely the Chinese monstrosity that is pushing ever harder on its neighbors to grow their control over surrounding waters and gain control over natural resources. As the Chinese Communist Party is returning to its totalitarian roots and as China returns to its more ancient imperialism, it is a great candidate for a distraction from domestic problems. The temptation will be to push back even harder against all perceived or real instances of Chinese aggression.

One example is that Japan could urge The Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP). CPTPP is a free trade agreement (FTA) between Australia, Brunei Darussalam, Canada, Chile, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, Peru, New Zealand, Singapore and Vietnam. The CPTPP was signed by the 11 countries on 8 March 2018 in Santiago, Chile.

Bringing Taiwan into the deal would not be contestable by the US or China, for example, though China would be riled by it and the US might see it as too provocative. Still, neither of these powers could prevent the deal from being extended to Taiwan. Indeed, the CPTPP may be seen as a sort of anti-China coalition aimed at pooling the economic might of its partner countries to offset and even reduce China’s economic advantages.

We can look forward to more Japanese push back against China, both as a distraction from domestic woes as the ruling Liberal Democrat Party faces a stronger opposition in the upcoming 2022 elections for Japan’s lower house, and out of fundamental concern for China’s very real threatening moves.

Germany Likely To Shift Hard Left In Elections

The September 26th election in Germany is likely to see a coalition of Die Linke (old line communists), the Social Democrats, the Free Democrats, and the Greens, driving Germany into a far left authoritarianism not seen since the days of the DDR. The Christian Democrats (CDU/CSU) are down to 21%, with the mushy Free Democrats at 12% and the AFD at 11% and holding. An SD, Green, Linke, and FDP coalition led by the Social Democrats would possibly emerge with over 61% of the vote. But without the FDP a minority coalition would be required.

The loss of CDU/CSU support has mostly been a failure of leadership, driven in part by the migration crisis and the Covid-19 response.

But this scenario isn’t set in stone as the Germans now have a voting system that gives both a primary and a secondary vote which could make calculations based on polls alone more difficult. A leftward, authoritarianism, which the Greens and Die Linke would necessitate in order to join the coalition, could have a major negative impact on the German economy and German foreign policy.

With an underfunded military focused more on gender issues and the whole rainbow agenda, as opposed to warfighting, such a coalition would continue to denominate the armed forces, thus rendering Germany dependent upon the US for its security.

The AFD has failed to seize the advantage caused by recent downturns and failures or to capitalize on growing German anger at the establishment over things like the floods, Covid-19, and migration worries. Poor leadership, messaging, and marketing have contributed to this.

The Unraveling of The Fiat Order

We face the eventual unraveling of an economic system that controls our social, cultural, and civic life, as well as our economic life, through force and which basically trades in human blood. The alternative is a system of social, cultural, civic, and economic exchange based on freewill participation and mutual, equitable benefit. But the very erection of such a parallel structure will eventually earn the ire and violent reaction of those who rule the present, corrupt system.

To understand the present system, we must begin with fiat currency.

Fiat currency is currency backed by authority, which is force, and not intrinsic value. It is evil and yet it is our money system. Our money system is based on a luciferian model which is a trading floor in which human blood is the medium of exchange. This doesn’t in any way mean the monied powers are luciferians, they don’t have to know or understand the deep and wicked spiritual roots of their system in order for us to say it is luciferian. Satan trades in human blood, he essentially has a human trafficking, as in slavery and murder, trading system which is the essential quality of fiat currency, because it is based solely on force and the shedding of blood.

We can use the term “fiat order”, because it is an order of affairs in which force controls life and the real unit of exchange is human blood. This fiat order is destined to fail because it violates the laws of causality which govern the universe and human civilization.

Those who claim to be interested in rectifying the gross wealth inequality and inequity, especially for women and minorities, and for poorer communities like Appalachia, who don’t advocate for a return to a gold standard, for money backed by value and not enforced through government authority alone, are lying. There will never be any rectifying of social injustice without monetary reform that ends the fiat currency and, therefore, our luciferian economic model.

The development of trade scripts or private cryptocurrencies that may be backed by commodities of value, like gold, may allow for islands of a Kingdom Economy, which is an economy based on equitable exchange of value in freewill participation, which can prosper even when the luciferian economic system begins its inevitable collapse. As these alternatives emerge, the ruling class are using corporations and government, their vehicles of power, to suppress the trade scripts or cryptocurrencies and either ruin them or force them underground, thus limiting the number of free people.

It should be clear: never, ever, will the ruling class totally control the whole population all over the world all the time. There will always be islands for freedom and a minority of people who remain blissfully disconnected to a substantial degree from the controls and influence of this present system. But these will remain in the minority and will always be somewhat insecure until the edifice of this system falls.

The aside here is that only a few will ever ve ALLOWED to remain outside the system’s influence and control before violent suppression is used to prevent the escape of too many people at once. The Berlin Wall goes up when the number of people waking up and escaping is too high for the system to sustain itself. But the erection of such a system leads to the eventual fall of that system: when it can only be propped up through naked force it signs its future death warrant.

In seeking to liberate people from a fiat order to a Kingdom order, from bondage to freedom, we must understand that initially the liberated will be in the smallest minority, which in a sense is its best defense. It is a defense of stealth, in the sense the ruling class and their very limited means of exercising force and intervention have bigger problems than a few people who somehow found gaps for freedom through parallel social, cultural, economic, and civic structures erected among themselves on the basis of freewill participation alone.

Very few people will get this and relatively few even of these will adopt the intentionality and discipline needed to erect their own unilateral parallel structures for social, cultural, economic, and civic life that is effectively divorced from the present system which uses force and trades in human blood.

Panjshir LIves!

The State of Panjshir still lives as the Taliban have been unable to go into the valley to claim the whole of Afghanistan.  The Valley is located in the northwest corner of the country.

KABUL, Afghanistan — Taliban forces and fighters loyal to local leader Ahmad Massoud fought in Afghanistan’s Panjshir Valley on Thursday, more than two weeks after the Islamist militia seized power, as Taliban leaders in the capital Kabul worked on forming a government.

Panjshir is the last Afghan province resisting rule by the Taliban, whose overthrow of the Western-backed government as U.S. and other foreign troops withdrew after 20 years has left the country in chaos.

Each side said it had inflicted heavy casualties.

“We started operations after negotiation with the local armed group failed,” Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid said.

Taliban fighters had entered Panjshir and taken control of some territory, he said. “They (the enemy)…

Excerpt:

 

Police in western China’s Sichuan province have ramped up their enforcement of a ban on photos of exiled Tibetan spiritual leader the Dalai Lama, arresting a further 53 Tibetans found with the prohibited images in their homes last week, Tibetan sources said.

The arrests in the Dza Wonpo township of Sershul (in Chinese, Shiqu) county in the Kardze (Ganzi) Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture follows the arrests earlier this month of at least 60 other township residents, bringing to over 100 the total number taken into custody during the campaign.

Following a first raid on Aug. 25, Chinese authorities swept through the town, searching every house, a Tibetan living in India told RFA, citing sources in the region.

“They were looking for pictures of His Holiness the Dalai Lama and for any messages that may have been shared on their cell phones with people outside Tibet,” RFA’s source said, speaking on condition of anonymity.

“And from Aug. 25 to Aug. 29, 53…

Jihadit Looking to Form Alliance with Turks, Assad in Northern Syria

Why this jihadist warlord is calling for a ‘united administration’ with Turkish-occupied northwest Syria

From globalcomment.com
2021-08-31 18:52:04

Excerpt:

 

Abu Mohammad al-Jolani, the leader of the powerful Islamist Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) group that controls large parts of Syria’s northwestern Idlib province, has called for the establishment of a “united administration” between his HTS-controlled territories and Syrian territories controlled by Turkey and its Syrian militia proxies.

Jolani was referring to the Turkish-occupied Kurdish region of Afrin that borders Idlib, which Turkey invaded in 2018, and the so-called Euphrates Shield Zone to its east, which Turkey seized from the Islamic State in Operation Euphrates Shield in 2016-17. Ankara used thousands of former Free Syrian Army (FSA) militiamen as proxies to invade and occupy these territories. These Turkish-backed FSA proxy groups call themselves the Syrian National Army (SNA).

“It is important that there is one authority, one set of institutions, and one authority to administer all the liberated areas controlled by the Syrian opposition,” Jolani said in…

Excerpt:

 

Overview

On 1 February 2021, the military-nominated then Vice President U Myint Swe (who is now the current President of Myanmar) declared a state of emergency for a period of one year (“Declaration“) pursuant to Article 417 of the Constitution of the Republic of the Union of Myanmar 2008 (“2008 Constitution“). The Declaration was issued after the military detained government leaders including the State Counsellor Daw Aung San Suu Kyi, President U Win Myint and other senior government officials from the National League for Democracy (“NLD“) in the early morning of 1 February 2021.

In connection with the Declaration, the legislative, executive and judicial powers of Myanmar were transferred to the Commander-in-Chief of Defence Services, Senior General Min Aung Hlaing, who in turn established the State Administration Council (“SAC“) as the governing authority during the state of emergency. Since then, the military authorities have replaced the NLD government, removing NLD appointed…

Chinese regulators summon 11 ride-hailing firms over illegal behavior

Excerpt:

GUANGZHOU, China — Chinese regulators have summoned and interviewed 11 ride-hailing firms asking them to rectify non-compliant behavior.

The Ministry of Transport, along with a number of other regulators including the Cyberspace Administration of China and State Administration of Market Supervision, jointly interviewed the companies including Didi, T3 and Meituan.

Chinese regulators alleged that the services are recruiting unapproved drivers and vehicles.

“It’s required that these platforms should check their own problems, rectify illegal behavior, safeguard market orders of fair competition, and create a sound environment for healthy development of the ride-hailing industry,” the Ministry of Transport said.

Regulators said that all platforms should make sure they have the necessary approvals for cars and drivers.

Ride-hailing platforms should not entice drivers to join through fake promotions or transfer any business risks to…

Myanmar Junta Chief’s Wild Economic Plans at Odds With Reality

From www.irrawaddy.com
2021-09-01 11:01:02

Excerpt:

 

Recently, the senior general said that the Tatmadaw, as Myanmar’s military is known, had been growing tissue-culture bananas. Bananas are nutrient-dense and good for health, he explained, as he offered to provide banana saplings at reasonable prices to departments at the regional, state, district and township levels that wished to grow the crop. The move reminded Myanmar people of Min Aung Hlaing’s predecessor as dictator, Senior General Than Shwe, and his fruitless state project of growing castor oil trees across the country—including at schools—to produce biofuel for energy security. The ambitious scheme never came close to producing biofuel, and succeeded only in wasting time and money.

After Withdrawal: How China, Turkey, and Russia Will Respond to the Taliban

Excerpt:

Having cultivated a good relationship with the Taliban for the past decade, and with a recent high-profile official visit by a Taliban delegation led by the group’s number two leader Abdul Ghani Baradar on July 28, Beijing sees itself as having finally bet on the right horse in Afghanistan. Since the Taliban’s takeover of the country, China has demonstrated an unprecedented level of positive reception, political endorsement, and diplomatic support of the Taliban. However, there are ferocious debates ongoing in China as to what the best strategy is moving forward vis-à-vis its poor, unstable, and destabilizing neighbor.

Having proclaimed the Afghan Taliban a “critical military and political force in Afghanistan,” China’s abandonment of the former Ghani government, and of its balancing diplomacy, was swift despite high-level engagement with both parties as recently as July. Beijing has not moved to recognize the Taliban, or the Taliban-led regime, yet. However, such recognition is implied in the many messages Beijing has sent. On Aug. 18, the Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson subtly commented that recognition of a…
