The Geopolitical Agenda behind the 2010 Nobel Peace Prize by F. William Engdahl* Hier vorgeschaltet ist der erste Teil meiner Übersetzung des englischsprachigen Originals, die bisher noch nicht autorisiert ist. Ich werde mich heute Nacht noch um die Fertigstellung dieses wichtigen Artikels bemühen.  wenn die Augen mitspielen und beim  voltaire netzwerk wegen der Autorisierung anfragen. Mir erscheint er so wichtig, dass seine Verbreitung keinen Aufschub duldet. Die Geopolitische Agenda hinter der Friedensnobelpreis-Verleihung 2010 an Liu Xaiobo von F. William Engdahl mit einem nahezu fehlerlosen politischen Timing kündigte das Friedensnobelpreis-Komitee des Norwegischen Parlaments die Verleihung des Friedensnobelpreises 2010 an den China-Kritiker und politischen  Aktivisten Liu Xiaobo an. Die Bekanntmachung kam pünktlich zu dem Zeitpunkt, als US-Finanzminister Timothy Geither den Druck auf die Chinesische Regierung erhöhte, eine wesentliche Aufwertung des Yuan vorzunehmen, ein schritt, der zwar dem angeschlagenen Dollar wenig nützen aber dafür die Chinesische Wirtschaft um so stärker treffen würde. Das NobelPreisTheater ist teil einer langfristig angelegten Strategie wachsenden Drucks Washingtons gegen die VR China. Im April 2010 stattete der US-Finanzminister dem chinesischen VizePremier Wang Qishan China einen Überraschungsbesuch ab, um mit ihm den Yuan „zu diskutieren“. Die Verleihung des Friedensnobelpreises an Liu Xiaobo war offen erkennbar  kein zufälliges zusammentreffen von Ereignissen. Vielmehr muß nach meiner Einschätzung diese Verleihung als einkalkulierter teil eine langfristig angelegten Strategie begriffen werden, nicht die einer kleinen Zahl von norwegischen Parlamentsmitgliedern sondern all Strategie der führenden Eliten der hegemoniale Weltmacht, der vereinigten Staaten, um Chinas schnell Schritte in Richtung einer souveränen und führenden Kraft in der Weltwirtschaft zu bremsen. Aus ihrer Sicht muß China auf handlebare Größe „zurechtgestutzt“ werden. Der weltweite Medienrummel um den Nobelpreis ist ein eingeplanter Teil dieser Strategie, die versucht China einen „Gesichtsverlust“ in den Augen des Rests der Welt beizufügen. Das ist alles Teil einer gut orchestrierten Konzert-Partitur, die bei der Klaviatur der „Menschenrechte“ in die Tasten hauen läßt, ein Netz von NGOs instrumentalisiert und Organisationen nutzt, die Washington direkt oder indirekt kontrolliert und als Waffe für die US-Geopolitik einsetzt.  Diese Strategie nicht viel erfolgversprechender als die Anstachelung der Tibetischen Krawalle durch Washington, die von Zirkeln des Dalai Lama im März 2008 angestiftet wurden, sie ist nicht viel erfolgversprechender als die verdeckte Washingtoner Verstärkung der Unruhen in der chinesischen Provinz Xinjiang im Juli 2009 oder als der Versuch der Destabilisierung in Chinas Nachbarland Myanmar im Jahr 2007, die sogenannte „Safran-Revolution“. Die Kreise, die diese „Nadel-Stich“-Operationen ausführen, wissen das. Was sie jetzt versuchen, ist die vorsichtige Beeinflussung des internationalen Klimas mit dem Ziel, das Ansehen der Volksrepublik China als Partner und „Freund“ in ein neues „Feindbild“ zu verwandeln. Es ist eine für Washington höchst riskante Strategie. Sie basiert auch auf einer gewissen Verzweiflung der US-Eliten über die geopolitische Lage der USA. Liu Xiaobos lustige Freunde im Ausland    Es gibt ein altes Englisches Sprichwort, das viel Wahrheit beinhaltet:“Sag mir mit wem Du umgehst und ich sage Dir wer Du bist!“. Mir steht es nicht zu, über die Person Liu Xiaobo zu urteilen. Ich habe den Mann noch nicht getroffen, noch habe ich seine Bücher gelesen. Trotzdem finde ich es bemerkenswert , mit welchen Leuten er es zu tun hat, besonders mit welchen lustigen ausländischen Freunden er verkehrt. Liu Xiaobo war bis 2007 Vorsitzender des Unabhängigen Chinesischen PEN-Zentrums und hat, nach der offiziellen Biographie auf der Website des Internationalen PEN-Zentrums – immer noch einen Sitz im Vorstand. Das Internationale PEN-Zentrum ist nicht irgendeine dem Zufall überlassene Ansammlung von Schriftstellern. Es ist ein wesentlicher Teil des anglo-amerikanischen Netzwerks von Menschenrechts- und Demokratie-NGOs und privaten Organisationen, die die erklärten geopolitischen Ziele ihrer Sponsoren vertreten, Das internationale PEN-Zentrum bezeichnet sich selbst als „die älteste Menschenrechtsorganisation der Welt“. Es wurde in den 20ern des 19. Jahrhunderts in London von den beiden damals führenden geopolitischen Strategen des britischen Empire gegründet: von George Bernhard Shaw und H.G. Wells. Es wird unterstützt durch ein Netzwerk privater US- und Europäischer Stiftungen und Gesellschaften , von Bloomberg ebenso wie vom Norwegischen Außenministerium  und „anderen Geldgebern, die anonym bleiben wollen.“ Sein Ziel ist es etwas zu schaffen, was das PEN selbst als „Welt-Kultur“ bezeichnet. Das klingt verdächtig nach der anglo–amerikanischen Melodie von der „Global-Governance“ oder David Rockefellers „Neuer Weltordnung“. Das PEN ist Teil eines übergeordneten Netzwerks mit dem Namen International Freedom of Expression Exchange oder IFEX, einem internationalen Network, mit Sitz in Canada, von rund 90 NGOs mit dem nobel-klingenden Ziel der Verteidigung“ des Rechts auf Freiheit der Äußerung“, was immer das heißen soll (wahrscheinlich die Freiheit der Meinungsäußerung in Wort, Schrift und Bild; HaBE). Zu den IFEX-Mitgliedern gehören das in Washington ansässige Freedom House, das durch das US-Außenministerium finanziert wird, und die National Endowment for Democracy (NED). (( Nationale Stiftung für Demokratie; HaBE))   Freedom House, das 1941 gegründet wurde, um den Kriegseintritt der USA  zu promoten, diente während des Kalten Krieges als Instrument für die CIA gelenkte antikommunistische Propaganda. Mit seinen neuesten Aktivitäten spielte es eine zentrale Rolle als NGO bei der von Washington gesteuerten Destabilisierung in Tibet, Myanmar,  in der Ukraine,  in Georgia, Serbien, Kirgisistan und anderen Ländern, die keine Politik verfolgen, die gewisse mächtige Leute in den USA zufriedenstellt. Der letzte FREEDOM HOUSE-Präsident war der ehemalige CIA-Direktor James Woolsey. Der aktuelle FREEDOM HOUSE-Chairman, Bette Bao Lord, war  2008 zur zeit der Krawalle in Tibet auch eine der führenden Figuren im Internationalen Tibet-Komitee.  FREEDOM HOUSE hat eng mit den Instituten für eine Offene Gesellschaft“ des George Soros zusammengearbeitet und mit dem Norwegischen Außenministerium bei der Unterstützung solcher Projekte wie der von Washington finanzierten „Tulpen-Revolution“ in Kirgisistan, die 2005 den mit Washington befreundeten Diktator und Drogenboß Kurmanbek Bakiyev an die Macht brachte.   So viel zu den PEN-Verbindungen des Liu Xiaobo. Nun sollten wir untersuchen, warum ihm der Nobel-Preis verliehen wurde.   Die kaum bekannte Geschichte vom Tiananmen – Platz des Himmlischen Friedens 1989   In seiner Begründung für die Nobelpreisverleihung nennt das Komitee Liu’s Rolle bei den 1989er Protesten auf den Platz des Himmlischen Friedens als Hauptgrund, sowie seine Mitarbeit 2008 bei der Formulierung von dem, was sich Charta 08 nennt und vom TIME-Magazin als „ein Manifest der Forderung nach demokratischen politischen Reformen im unterdrückerischen kommunistischen China“ bezeichnet wird.[3]   CNN machte sich (erst)1989 weltweit  bekannt während des Massakers vom Platz des Himmlischen Friedens.  Washington gab vor, erst aus dem Fernsehen von den Ereignissen erfahren zu haben, als ob die CIA in China nicht präsent gewesen wäre   http://www.voltairenet.org/article3…   Liu Xiaobio – so wird berichtet – kam 1989 im Frühling von seiner lehrtätigkeit an der amerikanischen Elite-Universität, der Ivy League Columbia University, zurück nach China, um dann in Peking eine führende rolle bei den Studenten-Protesten auf dem Platz des Himmlischen Friedens zu spielen. Die Ereignisse vom Tiananmen-Platz im Juni 1989 werden durch die CNN-Bilder vor der Weltöffentlichkeit verschleiert. Nur wenige wissen, dass „der Platz des Himmlischen Friedens im Juni 1989“ (Tiananmen Square in June 1989)  ein früher versuch der US-Geheimdienste war,  in die Inneren Angelegenheiten der VR China einzugreifen und das durchzuexerzieren, was sie später die „Color Revolutions“ nannten. Ähnlichre „bunte Revolutionen“ wurden später von Washington in Serbien gegen Milosevic, in der Ukraine mit des sogenannten „Orangenen Revolution“, in Georgien mit der „Rosen-Revolution“ und anderen geopolitischen Destabilisierungsmaßnahmen mit dem Ziel durchgeführt, US-freundliche Regime-Wechsel zu erreichen.   Wie ich es in meinem Buch „Full Spectrum Dominance: Totalitarian Democracy in the New World Order“ beschreibe, der mann, der den späteren Präsident George Herbert Walker Bush dazu drängt, wegen der Ereignisse auf dem Tiananmen-Platz strenge Sanktionen gegen die Regierung in Peking zu verhängen war US-Botschafter James R. Lilley, langjähriger Bush-Freund und CIA-Mann. Es gibt gute Gründe anzunehmen, dass Lilley der Führungsoffizier war, der die Destabilisierungsoperationen leitete. Gene Sharp von der Albert Einstein Institution in Boston, der Autor des Handbuchs für „Gewaltfreiheit als eine Form der Kriegsführung“ . wie er es ausdrückt, war auch in Peking ein paar Tage bevor die Proteste auf dem Platz des Himmlischen Friedens eskalierten. Sharps Organisation und  sein Text, besonders sein Buch, Civilian-Based Defense: A Post Military Weapons System,  spielte -wie berichtet- eine bedeutende Rolle in den Colour Revolutions in Serbien, in der Ukraine und ebenso in Georgien. Vielleicht war es nur ein Zufall, dass Sharp im Juni 1989 in Peking war … vielleicht aber auch nicht [4].. Und während der destabilisierenden Ereignisse auf dem Tiananmen-Platz 1989 mußte eine von George Soros geführte Stiftung „für die Reform und Öffnung Chinas“ – wie ebenfalls berichtet- ihre Pforten schließen, nachdem die Chinesische Justiz sie anklagte wegen Zusammenarbeit mit der CIA mit dem Ziel China während der Tiananmen-Ereignisse im Juni 1989 zu destabilisieren.   Es ist nützlich, sich daran zu erinnern, dass die US-Geheimdienste gerade zu dieser Zeit sich eifrig auch um den Zusammenbruch der UdSSR bemühten. Dementsprechend hinterläßt die Tatsache, dass Liu Xiaobo sich entscheidet eine vielversprechende akademische Karriere an New Yorks Elite-Columbia-Universität abzubrechen, um im Frühling 1989 mitten in die Ereignisse vom Tiananmen zu springen – den Eindruck, dass er dazu schließlich vielleicht doch durch einige seiner lustigen Auslandsfreunde in den USA ermutigt wurde.    Was Lius Rolle beim Verfassen der Charta 08 betrifft, ist sein Timing dabei genauso bemerkenswert aber auch etwas seltsam: Zu einer zeit, wo China seine Wirtschaft modernisiert und erlaubt, was einem in vielen Fällen als mehr individuelle Freiheit erscheint als man sie in gewissen westlichen sogenannten Demokratien findet, genau zu dieser zeit verstärkt Liu den politischen Druck auf die Regierung in Peking. Und er tut es 2008 in bester Kenntnis der Tatsache, dass die Chinesischen Regierung UND JETZT FOLGT VORLÄUFIG DER ORIGINALARTIKEL: With almost flawless political timing, the Nobel Peace Prize Committee of the Norwegian Parliament announced the giving of the 2010 Nobel Peace Prize to Chinese critic, political activist Liu Xiaobo. The announcement came just as US Treasury Secretary Timothy Geither was upping the pressure on the government of China to agree to a substantial revaluation of the Yuan, a move that would do little for the embattled dollar but cause great harm to China’s economy. The Nobel Prize theater is part of an escalating long-term pressure strategy of Washington against China.

In April 2010, US Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner made a surprise visit to Chinese Vice Premier Wang Qishan to „discuss“ the yuan. The award of the Nobel Peace Prize to Liu Xiaobo was clearly no coincidence of events. Rather it must be understood in my view as a calculated part of a long-term strategy, not from a few members of the Norwegian Parliament, but from the leading elite circles of the world’s hegemonic power, the United States, to break China’s stride to become a sovereign and leading world economic factor. From their point of view, China must be “cut down to size.” The Nobel Peace Prize’s world media theater is a calculated part of this strategy – trying to make China “lose face” in the eyes of the rest of the world. That is all part of an orchestrated deeper game, using “human rights,” and a web of NGOs and organizations that Washington controls directly or indirectly, as a weapon of Washington geopolitics. It is not likely to succeed any more than Washington’s calculated incitement of Tibetan riots around circles tied to the Dalai Lama in March 2008, or its covert encouragement of unrest in China’s Xinjiang Province in July 2009, or its attempt to activate a destabilization in China’s neighbor country, Mýanmar in 2007, the so-called Saffron Revolution. The circles running these pin-prick operations are aware of that. What they are doing is carefully preparing the international climate to turn the Peoples Republic of China from a partner and „friend“ into the new “enemy image.” It’s a very high risk strategy on Washington’s part. It is also rooted in a certain desperation over the USA’s geopolitical situation. Liu Xiaobo’s funny foreign friends There is an old English expression that bears much truth, that a man is known by the company he keeps. I am not qualified to speak to the person of Liu Xiaobo. I have never met the man nor have I read his works. What I find significant however, is the company he keeps, especially Liu’s funny foreign friends. Liu Xiaobo was President of the Independent Chinese PEN Center until 2007 and currently holds a seat on its board according to his official biography at the PEN International website [1]. PEN is not just any random collection of writers. It is an integral part of the Anglo-American web of human rights and democracy advocacy NGOs and private organizations used to achieve defined geopolitical goals of its sponsors. PEN calls itself the “world’s oldest human rights organization,” and was established in the 1920’s in London by two of the leading geopolitical strategists of the British Empire at the time, G.B. Shaw and H.G. Wells. It is supported by a network of private US and European foundations and corporations including Bloomberg, as well as the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and “other donors who wish to remain anonymous.” It aims to create something it calls a “world culture.” That smells suspiciously like the Anglo-American theme of “Global Governance” or David Rockefeller’s “New World Order.” PEN is part of a larger web called the International Freedom of Expression Exchange or IFEX, an international network, based in Canada, of some ninety NGOs with the noble-sounding aim of defending “the right to freedom of expression,” whatever that might mean. IFEX members include the Washington-based Freedom House, itself financed by the US State Department, and the National Endowment for Democracy (NED). Freedom House, created in 1941 to promote American entry into World War II, was used during the Cold War as a vehicle for CIA-directed anti-communist propaganda. Its recent activities have been a central role as NGO in Washington-directed destabilizations in Tibet, Myanmar, Ukraine, Georgia, Serbia, Kyrgyzstan and other countries apparently not pursuing policies satisfactory to certain powerful people in the USA. Its past president was former CIA Director James Woolsey. Freedom House chairman, Bette Bao Lord, was also a leading figure in the International Committee for Tibet at the time of the 2008 Tibet riots. Freedom House has worked closely with George Soros’ Open Society Institutes and the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs in promoting such projects as the Washington-financed 2005 Tulip Revolution in Kyrgyzstan that brought the Washington-friendly dictator and drug boss, Kurmanbek Bakiyev to power [2]. So much for the PEN relations of Liu Xiaobo. Now we should look at why the Nobel award was made to him. The little-known story of Tiananmen 1989 In their announcement of the Nobel award the committee cited Liu’s role in the 1989 Tiananmen protests as a major factor, as well as his co-authorship of something called Charter 08 in 2008, which Time magazine called “a manifesto calling for democratic political reform in oppressive communist China.” [3] CNN made itself globally known in 1989 during the massacre of the Tiananmen Square. Washington pretended it learned about the event from television, as if the CIA were not present in China. http://www.voltairenet.org/article3… Liu Xiaobo reportedly flew back from teaching at America’s elite Ivy League Columbia University in spring of 1989 to play a leading role in student protests at Beijing’s Tiananmen Square. The events of Tiananmen Square in June 1989 are shrouded in the images of CNN for much of the world. What few know is that Tiananmen Square in June 1989 was an early attempt of the US intelligence to interfere in the internal affairs of the Peoples’ Republic of China and to implement what later came to be called Color Revolutions. Similar Color Revolutions were later run by Washington in Serbia against Milosevic, in Ukraine with the so-called Orange Revolution, Georgia’s Rose Revolution and other geopolitical destabilizations aimed at creating Washington-friendly regime changes. As I describe in my book, Full Spectrum Dominance: Totalitarian Democracy in the New World Order, the man who urged then-President George Herbert Walker Bush to impose strong sanctions against the Beijing government for the events of Tiananmen was US Ambassador James R. Lilley, long-time Bush friend and CIA official. There is good reason to believe that Lilley was the case officer running the destabilization operation. Gene Sharp of the Albert Einstein Institution in Boston, the author of the textbook for “non-violence as a form of warfare” as he terms it, was also in Beijing days before the Tiananmen protests escalated. Sharp’s organization and text, especially his book, Civilian-Based Defense: A Post Military Weapons System, reportedly played a significant role in the Color Revolutions in Serbia, Ukraine and Georgia as well. Perhaps just a coincidence that Sharp was in Beijing in June 1989…perhaps not [4]. And at the time of the destabilizing events of Tiananmen in 1989, a foundation headed by George Soros, Fund for the Reform and Opening of China, was also reportedly forced to close down after Chinese officials accused it of working with the CIA to destabilize China during the June 1989 Tiananmen time [5]. It is useful to recall that US intelligence in just this time was active in bringing the collapse of the Soviet Union as well. So the fact that Liu Xiaobo decides to drop a promising academic career in New York’s elite Columbia University to jump into the middle of events at Tiananmen in spring 1989 suggests at the very least he might have been encouraged to do so by some of his funny foreign friends in the US. In terms of Liu’s role in drafting the Charter 08, his timing here is also remarkable and curious. At a time when China is modernizing its economy and allowing what appear to this writer as in many cases more individual freedom than one finds in certain Western so-called democracies, Liu escalates political pressures on the Beijing government. And he does it in 2008, clearly knowing well that Chinese officials are extremely sensitive to possible efforts by Tibet and other groups such as Uighurs to embarrass Beijing during the Olympics. The US State Department admitted that the 2008 Tibet Dalai Lama-supported protests and riots were the most serious internal unrest in the history of the Peoples’ Republic. It was hardly a time to demand more opening of dissent if one were really serious about such themes. It suggests that the activities of Liu Xiaobo might have another deeper agenda which perhaps his funny foreign friends provide. The Nobel Prize Nomination In this context, the list of names who formally nominated Liu Xiaobo to get the Nobel Peace Prize in 2010 is worth noting. The nomination was proposed by none other than the Dalai Lama, a long-time recipient of US Government financial largesse, from both the CIA and the US Congress via the National Endowment for Democracy. The fact that the Dalai Lama nominated Liu says much of the geopolitical nature of this year’s Nobel Peace Prize. If we then look at a list of the other persons who nominated Liu Xiaobo, it reads like an international membership list of David Rockefeller’s very secretive Trilateral Commission, an ultra-elite membership-by-invitation-only group of three hundred of the most powerful persons in North America, Europe and Japan (China has not been invited to this select club). Along with Dalai Lama, Karel Prince of Schwarzenberg and Czech Foreign Minister, former WTO head Mike Moore, Russian free market opposition politician Grigory A. Yavlinsky, all nominated Liu. Prince Karel, Moore and Yavlinsky are all members of the elite Trilateral Commission suggesting that might be where plans were made to make Liu Xiaobo the Nobel winner. Pro-NATO former Czech President Vaclav Havel, who is chairman of the International Council of the George Soros financed Human Rights Watch, also joined in nominating Liu for the prize. Havel, who is close friends with Prince Karel, notes that Liu’s Charter 08 was modeled on Havel’s Czech Charter 77 which was used, with covert US backing, to destabilize the Soviet Union in the 1980’s [6]. It all suggests a close-knit club as Havel, and the club dues are paid by Washington in this case. Secretary General of the Council of Europe and Chairman of the Norwegian Nobel Committee, Thorbjørn Jagland helped „shepherd“ the Nobel Peace Prize to U.S. President Barack Obama in 2009. (Associated Press) About the Nobel Committee of the Norwegian Parliament little is made public. Their website stresses their complete independence which is less than credible if one looks to the list of names they have awarded the prize to. It includes the Dalai Lama, Burmese jailed opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi, Barack Obama who got the award after only two weeks in office and despite the fact his military buildup of the war in Afghanistan was explicit before his nomination, Henry Kissinger who as Secretary of State backed repressive death squad regimes of Latin American dictators during the 1970’s. And of course, just when Wall Street banks and Anglo-American establishment decides to promote the fraud of global warming, the Nobel Peace Prize is awarded to the discredited UN IPCC and to global warming promoter Al Gore. To put the facts in the open, evidence is clear that the Nobel Peace Prize is part of the geopolitical instruments of the NATO circles used to put pressure on governments it does not completely approve of. Norway is a founding member of NATO and has extremely close ties to leading US circles. Liu’s Legal Advisors Interesting as well, among the funny foreign friends of Liu Xaiobo is the organization which serves as his international legal advisors, a US-based NGO called Freedom Now. According to their impressive website, their aim is „to free prisoners of conscience through focused legal, political and public relations advocacy efforts.“ In addition to Liu their clients include Aung San Suu Kyi of Myanmar. The NGO was founded in 2001 by Harvard-trained American lawyer, Jared Genser. Regarding China Genser has a clear political profile. Genser received Amnesty International’s Honored Activist Award for his pivotal role in organizing the 50-group, 5,000-person protest of Chinese President Jiang Zemin’s visit to Harvard University in 1997. In spring 1998, he brought Chinese dissident Wei Jingsheng to speak at Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government in response to Jiang’s speech. A short time later, at the request of the Dalai Lama, Genser and other organizers of the protest met with the exiled Tibetan leader. Genser has also been a Visiting Fellow with the National Endowment for Democracy (NED). As I detail in my Full Spectrum Dominance book, the role of the NED, a private NGO based in Washington, is, to quote its founder „to do what the CIA did 30 years ago but do it privately.“ The NED was behind the 2008 Dalai Lama Tibet riots, the destabilization in Xinjiang Province in 2009 and every political destabilization rub by Washington in the last years [7]. Another Board member of Liu’s Freedom Now is Glenn Kaminsky who is an attorney in the Office of the General Counsel at the US Department of Homeland Security. US civil liberties critics have termed Homeland Security, created by President Bush after 2001, an „American Gestapo“ for its ability to wiretap citizens, enter their homes without probable cause and other violations of basic US Constitutional rights of citizens [8]. Freedom Now board member Daniel Silverberg is Counsel to the Committee on Foreign Affairs of the U.S. House of Representatives. Previously, he served in the Office of General Counsel in the U.S. Department of Defense responsible for counter-terrorism strategy. In short the legal counsel to Liu Xaiobo is intimately tied to US government agencies and strategic interests. Again, funny foreign friends… The Deeper Geopolitical Significance The question as to why US powerful circles chose this moment to escalate pressure on the Peoples’ Republic of China by awarding the Peace Prize to Liu Xaiobo is evident from the recent emergence of China as a strong and dynamically-growing world economy at the same time that the United States sinks into the worst economic depression in more than two hundred years of its existence. Official US strategic policy remains that elaborated in the September 2002 National Security Strategy of the United States, sometimes termed the Bush Doctrine which states that „America’s political and military mission in the post-cold-war era will be to ensure that no rival superpower is allowed to emerge in Western Europe, Asia or the territories of the former Soviet Union.“ That formulation has been explicit Pentagon doctrine since 1992 [9]. The reason China is being targeted? Simply because China today exists, and exists as a dynamically emerging world factor in economics and politics, creating foreign alliances to support that growth in places like Sudan or Iran where Washington has less control. At his point China’s existence as a dynamic stable nation is a growing strategic threat to the United States, not because China threatens war as Washington is doing all round the world. The threat is that the United States and those who dominate its policy lose that global hegemonic position as China, Russia, the Shanghai Cooperation Organization countries of Central Asia as well as countless other countries move toward a far more diverse multi-polar world. According to the Bush Doctrine and US strategic geopolitics, that further dynamic must be prevented at all costs now while it is still possible. The recent escalation of sanctions against Iran by the UN Security Council under strong US pressure had less to do with Iran and its nuclear ambitions than with the fact that Iran is a strategic economic partner of China. The award of the Nobel Peace Prize to Liu Xiaobo, far from a gesture in promotion of peace ought better to be seen for what it is: a US-guided, NGO-fostered part of a declaration of irregular warfare against the sovereign existence of China. British Balance of Power geopolitics since two hundred or more years has had as axiom that the hegemonic empire must always seek out the weaker of two potential adversaries and ally with it to destroy the stronger. US policy with regard to India since 2001 and with regard to China since 2008 has been just that, pursuit of a military and strategic alliance with the vastly weaker but useful India against strategic Chinese interests in Asia especially Pakistan and Afghanistan. The official presence of NATO in Afghanistan, far away from the North Atlantic area of NATO ought to signal that all this is not about promotion of democracy or freedom of expression, but about a declining hegemon desperately trying every weapon in its arsenal to reverse reality. Liu Xaiobo is but a convenient tool in their efforts, one of countless many, like the Dalai Lama or Rebiya Kadeer of the Washington-backed World Uyghur Congress. They seem to have less effect as American credibility declines along with its economic stability, a highly unstable mix. Share this F.
