The Most Important Election In America's History

November will witness the most important election in the history of

the United States. Its result will determine the future of America,

and of the world. An administration that subverted security and

falsified truth in pursuance of a sinister private agenda of its

leaders will be seeking another four years to complete it. Can the

American people stop this? On present reckoning they can. The

Democratic Party candidate Senator John Kerry leads President Bush in

the public opinion polls.

 

However, another terrorist attack like 9/11 could dramatically improve

the chances of President Bush. America has been put on alert because a

new strike by Al Qaeda is feared. By striking at this time, would

Osama bin Laden deliberately help President Bush retain power? Did

President Bush deliberately help Osama by half-hearted efforts for his

capture in Afghanistan after the ouster of the Taliban regime? And

then, by diverting the war from Al-Qaeda to the invasion of Iraq? Are

Bush and Osama complementary -- thriving on each other's excesses?

 

Even the watered down official 9/11 Commission Report concluded that

the Bush administration "was not ready to engage actively against

Al-Qaeda". There is strong circumstantial evidence culled from

impeccable sources like New York Times, Washington Post, London Times,

The Guardian and BBC to suggest that part of the American

administration was complicit in the 9/11 attack. American analyst and

Holocaust survivor Joseph Ehrlich, among others, has advanced

compelling evidence and arguments to authenticate this claim. Former

key official in the Bush administration Richard Clarke confirmed that

one day after 9/11, when US Intelligence had identified as Al Qaeda

being responsible for the attack, Bush and colleagues were urging him

to indict Saddam too. But while American mainstream media puts out

damaging isolated reports, its editors refuse to collate the

information and conclude the obvious: America is a subverted nation.

If this indeed is the case, what is the nature and identity of the

power subverting it?

 

The Bush administration and Al Qaeda act like instruments serving a

single power manipulating global events. And linked to them are China

and Pakistan. The Israeli intelligence website Debka File reported

that the Chinese government had established intelligence and funding

relationships with the Taliban during the years preceding 9/11. The

American government in May 2001 had gifted $43 million to the Taliban

from Secretary of State Colin Powell. Through the Pakistani

intelligence service, the ISI, the CIA had continually provided aid to

the Taliban, virtually up until the moment of the September 11

attacks. Within the knowledge of the Chinese government and with the

tacit blessings of the PLA, Uighur Muslims from Xinjiang have been

helping the Taliban. The same Uighur Muslims who are supposed to pose

a terrorist threat to China! Last month the PLA and Pakistani army

conducted joint anti-terrorist exercises. Both are patrons of

terrorist Jihadis. They deceive a gullible world press eagerly willing

to be deceived.

 

What, then, is the identity and nature of the power that can seemingly

coordinate activities of Americans, Chinese, Pakistanis and Al Qaeda?

It is the US-China-Israel Axis. To understand the origins and growth

of this Axis, one must go back in history.

 

After the Cuban crisis in the sixties President John Kennedy parleyed

with Khrushchev. Historian Arthur Schlesinger Junior recorded that

Kennedy sought US-USSR cooperation to contain a future threat by

China. But then Kennedy was assassinated. Later his brother Robert,

aspirant in the Presidential contest of 1968, was also assassinated. A

discarded Richard Nixon was retrieved from his political grave to

become President. After that a paradigm shift occurred in global

politics. Was Kennedy killed to facilitate this shift? Who was

responsible for his assassination? The mystery remains.

 

Author Michael Collins Piper, a former aide of Governor John Connolly

of Texas who was wounded in the same car when Kennedy was shot, after

extensive investigation concluded in his book, Final Judgment, that

China and the Israeli Mossad were behind the killing.

 

Noted Israeli investigative activist and crusader Barry Chamish

without discounting Piper's broad conclusions felt he had failed to

make his case. Chamish ruled out Mossad's involvement. According to

Piper, the Sino-Israeli action was provoked by a decision that Kennedy

took to launch a preemptive strike against China,s nuclear

installations. Piper alleged that Israel helped China obtain

technology to make the bomb. Shaul Eisenberg, Israel,s richest

businessman, was the conduit for the transfer of technology.

 

Eisenberg fled from Nazi Germany and was given refuge in Shanghai

during the war years. It may be noted that Shanghai was the only city

offering sanctuary to Hitler,s victims without demanding visas and

papers. During the war years the most sacred religious texts of the

Jewish community were housed in Shanghai for safekeeping. Later they

were transferred to Israel. Therefore pro-China sentiments in

Eisenberg and other Israelis were understandable.

 

Piper wrote his book in the mid-nineties. In 2000 official US papers,

declassified, confirmed that before he was killed Kennedy was indeed

contemplating a preemptive strike against China's nuclear

installations. In July this year, the former Israeli nuclear

whistleblower Mordechai Vanuni was released after spending 18 years in

an Israeli prison for divulging Israel's nuclear plans.

 

In a startling allegation he complemented Piper's thesis. He said that

because Kennedy exerted pressure on the Israeli government to shed

light on Israel's Dimona nuclear reactor, Israel masterminded his

assassination.

 

So, what was the paradigm shift that followed the Kennedy murder?

This: instead of accommodating the Soviet Union, America forged ties

with China. While there was worldwide grief over Kennedy's death,

China exulted. China's People's Daily carried a front-page cartoon

with the caption, 'Kennedy bites the dust'. The Nixon-Kissinger duo

helped create the most powerful global axis comprising USA and China.

Israel was the facilitator. Pakistan was the instrument required to

forge the axis. It is this transnational lobby, the US-China-Israel

Axis that emerged under Nixon and Kissinger and grew from strength to

strength to play the most sinister role in world affairs for the past

three decades.

 

Nixon as an ardent anti-communist was enticed in the enterprise to

become eventually history's fall guy. His anti-communist image helped

silence the American right wing as America somersaulted to befriend

Maoist China. The rationale was that the communist world would be

divided by weaning China away from the Soviets. Pakistan was the

strategic lynchpin used by the US-China-Israel Axis.

 

Pakistan backed by US and China cut off the Soviet threat of reaching

the warm waters of the Indian Ocean through Afghanistan. That suited

America. A strong Pakistan hostile to India ensured that South Asia

would remain divided to never become capable of balancing China. That

suited China. Indo-Pakistani hostility gave promise of a future Hindu

India hostile to Islam. That suited Israel. It also explains,

incidentally, Israel's open support for BJP leaders like LK Advani and

the Vishva Hindu Parishad (VHP).

 

Inexplicably, these hardcore Hindus looked up to China, not mindful of

their sworn enemies, the hardcore Pakistanis inside and outside its

army, doing the same! Yet both extremist elements, Hindu and Muslim,

continued to bitterly oppose each other.

 

It may be recalled that at about the same time when China introduced a

market economy in 1978, it changed its official policy to describe

Zionism as a nationalist instead of a racist movement as it did

earlier. Alongside the Soviets, Israel became China's biggest arms

supplier. With American and Chinese guarantees, Pakistan became

secure. That suited Islamabad. No wonder President Nixon was to state

later "the integrity of Pakistan is the cornerstone of American

foreign policy." It should be recalled that this axis took shape after

Nehru spurned President Ayub Khan's offer of joint defence in 1959,

and after the 1962 Sino-Indian conflict, which exposed India's woeful

military capabilities.

 

But Nixon soon fell by the wayside. Watergate took care of that. Years

later, commenting on the expanded US-China trade he sadly told his

former speech-writer and NYT columnist William Saffire, "I guess we

created a Frankenstein!"

 

While Nixon faded, Kissinger thrived. Through the decades he has

emerged as the key figure in the Axis. He is the inspiration and

architect of Sino-American ties that rope in almost all of corporate

America. Kissinger is the central adviser for the Business Coalition

for US-China Trade which has 1000 of the largest American corporations

such as Boeing, McDonnell Douglas Corp., General Motors, Ford and

others as its members. He is also the architect of the China-America

Society which has American Express, Chase Manhattan Bank, Coca-Cola

and other giants as its members.

 

Kissinger's proximity to China became evident when he helped set up

China International Investment Corporation (CITIC), the Chinese

government's banking merchant for carrying on business with the US.

Originally, Bush appointed Kissinger to head the 9/11 Commission.

Public protest forced Kissinger to back out.

 

Kissinger obtained the participation of powerful former US officials

Alexander Haig, Lawrence Eagleburger, Brent Snowcroft and others to

promote Sino-American trade ties. Kissinger and friends battled for 15

years to have China admitted to the World Trade Organization. US-China

trade ties have grown to such dimensions that American MNCs would lose

billions if these broke down. As American analyst Michael C. Ruppert

eloquently put it: "There's an old saying that in a ham and eggs

breakfast, the chicken is involved but the pig is committed." America

is the pig in US-China trade.

 

China desperately needs oil and gas to continue its economic

expansion. To get oil and gas from Central Asia, China would have to

build a pipeline nearly 4,000 miles long across the Himalayas and

through the mountains of Central China. That is beyond China's

technical abilities. The construction expertise of companies like

Halliburton - headed till 2000 by Vice President Dick Cheney would be

essential.

 

Meanwhile, China must bank on the proposed trans-Afghani pipeline

system to transport oil and gas from the Central Asian republics to

the Pakistani coast. This 1500-mile pipeline from the oil and gas-rich

regions of Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan is the

only feasible way to transport oil and gas to China. To secure this on

a stable basis China wants to enmesh itself with the economies of

South Asia.

 

Corporate America in its greed for short-term profit leans so heavily

on the political establishment that US security considerations are

ignored both by Republicans and Democrats.

 

America has been allowing a five-to-one trade deficit with China

importing low-tech Chinese goods manufactured by firms owned by the

People's Liberation Army (PLA). The profits of these firms are used to

modernize and expand the Chinese military and to bribe and subvert

American politicians. According to John Fialka of Wall Street Journal

over 450 of these firms are under investigation by US federal

authorities for stealing technology and passing it to the PLA. As NYT

columnist Abe Rosenthal wrote in the late1990s, both Republicans and

Democrats were corrupted by the PLA to help increase China's military

might.

 

China's abysmal record on human rights, on slave labour, on nuclear

proliferation, on being the fountainhead of the global drug trade, and

on promoting international terrorism - all documented by American

official and Congressional agencies - has been glossed over by

successive US administrations. China has emerged thereby as a

corporate version of Nazi Germany. Five per cent of its population

owns over 80 per cent of its wealth. The children of Chinese communist

leaders are economic tsars thriving on financial deals and

partnerships. Eighty per cent of investment in China is by foreigners,

mostly overseas Chinese, many of whom collaborate with the PLA. Most

Chinese exports are manufactured by subsidiaries of foreign firms,

mostly American.

 

As columnist Paul Craig Roberts commented: "The U.S. is not trading

with China in the normal sense. The Chinese have access to U.S.

markets for products made with Chinese labour. In exchange U.S. firms

have access to Chinese markets and U.S. markets with products made by

Chinese labour." In other words, China is a monstrous manufacturing

unit based on slave labour offering sops to the west. By its policy of

having "two systems in one nation" China befools the world with some

dazzling showpiece cities. It is sickening therefore to hear

constantly that China should be the role model for India.

 

But there are signs - small yet - of change in America. Newspapers

like NYT and Washington Post have started murmuring disapproval about

some of China's policies and actions. There are two prime reasons for

this change. First, economically China is gradually squeezing America

out of the Asian market. Secondly, the nuclear proliferation unleashed

by China through Pakistan and North Korea has spun things out of

control. The emergence of an Islamist terrorist bomb designed to

destroy Israel has become a real possibility.

 

A too clever-by-half corporate America had thought that after

enslaving the Asian market in a vice-like grip it would stabilize the

arrangement by democratizing China. The ascent of Hu Jintao as

successor to Jiang Zemin was expected to facilitate this transition.

 

China's links with nuclear proliferation, Islamic terrorism and even

Osama bin Laden himself, were kept under wraps by mainstream American

media. This dark side of China had tacit blessing of official America

because it served the long-term goals of the Axis. The calculation was

that once China became an open democratic partner in WTO its dark side

would become a thing of the past and get a quiet burial.

 

That's where the Americans went wrong. Jiang Zemin did not relinquish

chairmanship of China's Central Military Commission (CMC). He retained

firm control over the PLA. Like an old Maoist he knew that power flows

from the barrel of a gun. There is a silent struggle going on now for

control over China's future course. On current reckoning Jiang is

prevailing over Hu. Open differences between them surfaced after the

outbreak of the SARS epidemic.

 

The virus was first detected in a Chinese military hospital. Russian

scientists claimed it was man-made. Analysts speculated that the PLA

deliberately created SARS to make China inhospitable to international

investment, thereby weakening China's new rulers who would be cut off

from the West. Several official heads rolled and eventually President

Hu Jintao and Premier Wen Jiabao brought SARS under control. A key

role in aiding them was played by a Chinese military doctor, Yiang

Yanyong, the whistleblower on SARS. Yiang quickly became a cult figure

across China. Currently, Chinese communist officials and the PLA have

put Yiang under arrest.

 

Chinese newspapers are all owned by the state. Despite that brave

journalists criticize officials and expose corruption. They are being

harassed and hounded by the authorities, sometimes arrested. Going by

current trends therefore it does not seem that a smooth transition to

open society and to rule of law in China is on the cards.

 

If the assumption of the role of the US-China-Israel Axis, based on

the facts advanced thus far, is correct, a brief recapitulation of

events should indicate how the Axis succeeded only in damaging

eventually the interests of all three nations.

 

America was on its highest level of alert because of intelligence

warnings around July 2001. Mysteriously the Bush administration lifted

that alert. Then 9/11 happened. On 9/11 itself China's PLA signed a

memorandum of understanding with the Taliban government for upgrading

the communications system in Afghanistan. Mullah Omar heavily

influenced and financed by his brother-in-law Osama bin Laden --

deemed responsible for the 9/11 attacks -- led the Taliban government.

 

The 9/11 attacks targeted the WTO towers. These attacks preempted by

six days China's official entry into the WTO on September 17, 2001.

The entry was the culmination of sustained efforts for fifteen years.

The attacks by Osama, who was patronized by the PLA, failed to deter

China entering WTO. Later came the SARS episode, again traceable to

the PLA. This temporarily alarmed the west but did not halt the

growing US-Chinese trade ties. Clearly, the forces in China seeking

participation in a world order are being thwarted by powerful elements

within the PLA.

 

It is in this context that the Bush administration, left without

maneuverability, is stuck with its failed policies. Responsible

Americans, who earlier turned a blind eye to the activities of the

Axis, are now getting alarmed. The participants themselves in the Axis

cannot now change course because they are too deeply imbedded in it.

Contrast the Bush administration,s kid-glove treatment of nuclear

rogue states China, Pakistan and North Korea with its treatment of

Iraq, which had no weapons of mass destruction.

 

That is why India would be extremely foolish to hasten trade ties with

Beijing before the internal contradictions in China are resolved.

There is even talk in some quarters of welcoming China into SAARC. To

destroy the distinctive identity of South Asia and make it an

extension of the slave-driven captive market created and controlled by

the Axis would be nothing short of political insanity.

 

All this makes the coming American election crucial. The Bush

administration was hijacked by the Axis on 9/11. November will tell us

whether American voters can extricate their nation from its coils. The

US-China-Israel Axis was the real axis of evil that subverted

governments in all the three nations and dominated world events for

three decades. Now conflicts of interests and cracks have weakened

this Axis. It remains to be seen whether the American people can

destroy it to change the course of history and create a democratic

world order.
