[George Soros has recently said that Chinese leader Xi Jinping poses the biggest ever threat to free society ie the West. https://www.straitstimes.com/asia/east-asia/soros-flags-xi-as-biggest-threat-to-free-society The statement was met with varied responses, the most interesting of which was the Chinese response saying this statement is not worthy of a response. https://www.rt.com/news/449705-soros-china-response-meaningless/ ]
Mr. Soros is perhaps right in saying that Mr. Xi Jinping is posing a threat to the West, but in the authors’ way of thinking, he is merely doing so with his enormous nation-building program that is poised to put China at the top of the world; not necessarily militarily, but rather economically and technologically. Moreover, if we were to rationally and analytically look at this very complex situation, we will easily see that he is only able to do so because the West is resting on its laurels, capitalizing on the previous achievements of a golden bygone era.
As China has been steadfastly moving forward with reinventing itself with a long term vision, the West has been busy fighting expensive and needless wars, squandering trillions of dollars’ worth of precious resources, including finite resources, to achieve nothing at all.
The Taliban are slowly but surely regaining control of Afghanistan. As for Iraq, during the days of Saddam neither America’s sworn enemy Iran nor the Islamists had any foot hold there. And even though ISIS has been officially defeated, there seem to be many pockets left. Furthermore, if anything, the Iranian influence on Iraq and the region as a whole has been inadvertently bolstered as a result of the ill-thought-out Western gambles.
Back to China, or should we say forward.
Apple CEO Tim Cook said recently that his company goes to China not to seek cheap manufacturing, but for the quality. He stated that in America he cannot fill a room with the kind of technicians and experts he needs, but in China, he can fill a football stadium. https://www.inc.com/glenn-leibowitz/apple-ceo-tim-cook-this-is-number-1-reason-we-make-iphones-in-china-its-not-what-you-think.html
This is the truth because as Chinese people are increasingly becoming fascinated with science and technology, Western high-school graduates are growing increasingly interested in sports, rap music, art, travel, etc. In 2017, China produced 4.7 million STEM graduates (science, technology, engineering and math), India produced 2.6 million and America produced a meager 588,000. The difference is not due to the higher populations of China and India, because the population of China is 4.3 times the population of America, yet it is producing 8 times the number of STEM graduates. In other words, on per capita basis, China is producing nearly twice the number of STEM graduates in comparison to America. On the other hand, on per capita basis also, the number of American STEM graduates is almost identical to India’s. What makes the situation more dire for America is that this gap is widening.
We are talking about comparing the USA China and India here. We are not talking about comparisons with long established developed countries. We are not comparing it with Scandinavian countries or Switzerland, not even with economically-struggling EU nations. Just a few decades ago, China and India lagged by far behind the West on science and technology, and at the time our parents were born, China was afflicted with the problem of TB and opium addictions, and India experienced searing famines and poverty. China was occupied and usurped by Japan and India was still a British colony. For either country to be doing better than America now or just even be on par with it, there are definitely good enough reasons to call for making America great again.
The core issue is the lack of interest of American students in becoming STEM graduates. Ironically, if an American student is scientifically-inclined, he/she will be branded as a nerd. There are countless Hollywood movies that ridicule nerds. But what is the West doing to encourage STEM education? Nothing, because any attempt from Western governments to influence people is seen as totalitarian and socialist.
As a matter of fact, many American hi-tech companies often import English-speaking technical experts from countries like India; not to save on cost, but because they cannot source the skills they are seeking locally. The list includes Microsoft, Intel, IBM and even NASA. https://www.quora.com/What-percentage-of-NASA-employees-are-Indian
If a fraction of the funds wasted on the above-mentioned needless wars was spent on education and promoting education, perhaps the West, especially America, would not now be in this predicament. Isn’t this a plausible assumption?
In more ways than one, the West is committing suicide. The cycle of the rise and fall of empires hasn’t changed since the rise and fall of the Assyrian Empire and later on Rome. It is a complex subject and we won’t get into it, but to build empires requires generations of builders. Once built, empires need generations of protectors. But eventually, empires end up plagued by generations of destroyers.
When the destroyers get hold of the reigns, there is no one to blame for the consequences of their actions other than the overall failure of the empire they are destroying.
What is happening to the West now is not very different to what happened to Rome when it began its decline, and there is no one to blame but the West itself. No one can honestly attribute the whole responsibility to any particular person or even group. But if we do want to point fingers, we can easily identify self-serving interest groups which are encouraging and nurturing the suicidal trend in the West. To this effect, the biggest culprit will have to be the Neo Left and its allied NGO’s.
Ironically, much is said about the Neo Cons (neo conservatives). This term came to prominence during the first term of George W Bush. This group is not exactly the opposite of the Neo Left; despite the diametrically conservative versus left labels. Notwithstanding the evil of the Neo Cons, which is beyond the scope of this article, for fairness to them, they do not attempt to manipulate minds. Their rhetoric of promoting and exporting western style “democracy”, using B-52’s as the mode of delivery, has an onion skin deep façade. No thinking mind in the world believes their lies. The Neo Left, on the other hand, is an entity that is increasingly becoming popular and credible. It capitalizes on passions and ideas that are so close to the hearts and minds of well-intentioned people. Whilst the Neo Cons and the industrial giants feel at ease to pillage the world for financial gain, the Neo Left pretentiously carries the “progressive” banner such as that of environmental protection among other popular, sensitive and seemingly humanitarian topics; all sentiments predominant among caring anti Neo Con people. They use the same technique to evoke similar wholistic concerns and this is where the danger lies.
Ironically, the definition of the political Left has changed recently, though not formally. By the mid 1990’s theories were proposed from sociologists for example, like Anthony Giddens among others, philosophers and other academics who radically re-examined the nature of “Left” and “Right” and what was happening to them. For the purposes of this article, we hark back to the not too distant past, where Left was best and typically represented by East European leaders like Lenin and Trotsky, Latin Americans like Castro and Guevara, Asian leaders like Ho Chi Minh and Chairman Mao, all of whom fought against colonialism, capitalism and imperialism seeking independence, freedom, justice and the rights of the underprivileged proletariat, or so they said. Whether they were all truthful to their words is another story, but today’s “revolutionary” often is a privileged Westerner, a couch activist, fixated on gender and environmental issues, advocating for legalizing late term abortion, teaching school children that there are 15 different genders and counting the carbon footprints of others, often forgetting his own.
And this brings another aspect of the Western suicide. In addition to the overwhelming prevalence and focus in the West on gender issues, including that of questioning and challenging the value and future of traditional family structures, many Western couples have little interest in procreation. They just want to have fun in life without having the responsibility of children. In a way, this is good because we need to curb the global population growth. But the other 3 billion people on the other side of the planet do not believe in this and, with or without the technological advances they are making, they are generating the manpower to become huge economic hubs.
Respecting people’s inclinations and choices, including sexual ones, is one thing and how the Neo Left is hijacking and manipulating this issue is something else. Most of us have friends and family members who are homosexual, and they are always loved and respected. Many express they are unhappy with how the Neo Left is portraying them. The Neo Left however seems to be driven by men and women who have nefarious agendas which smack of interference in societal structures that have formed the backbone of strong, productive, competitive and viable self-sustaining societies. The focus on challenging and dismantling these age-old structures is evident in the thug-like attacks some of these leaders in the Neo Left display, including their open contempt for the traditional family unit.
It is not too far-fetched to say that in future, if these thugs have their way, pressure, with legal backing, will be put on any “offenders” who challenge this restructuring of family, sexuality and society by way of insisting to live the “old” way and, their human rights may be seriously violated.
Much of these movements driven by the Neo Left are far from being liberation movements. They do not endorse and enact any reform. They are mere cults. They think like cults, preach like cults and act like cults. The authors often wonder who is behind them and benefits from the destruction and havoc they are causing to families and communities.
We read the news today Oh boy about an unlucky woman who made the grade. She was arrested for “misgendering” https://www.rt.com/uk/451202-trans-gender-arrest-trump-johnson/. And to think that radical prohibitions and policies on heterosexuality and traditional family structures are not on the way?
Turning to matters of the environment; every time the Neo Left closes down a factory in the West for its impact on the environment, China builds ten, using the same technology and manufacturing the same product that goes for consumption in the West. See the irony and hypocrisy here?
With a diminished interest in science and technology, coupled with a decreased interest in procreation, top it up with living in a fantasy world of gender identification obsession, Western carbon foot prints and governments that plunder and pillage other nations squandering trillions of dollars on needless wars, how does the West expect to be able to compete, let alone survive?
China and India are doing what is right for their nations, and they ought to be commended for their diligence. It is the West that is to be blamed for sitting back and expecting itself to magically maintain its wealth.
But here’s one aspect of the problem, and we are not sure if many in the West put two and two together. Most school children in the West today do not learn about their history and the achievements of their forebears. They do not know why their countries are in privileged positions, and this is why they take their fortunes for granted.
Western children do not know that Western scientists of yester years have given them the technological advantage that they are still capitalizing on, but also slowly losing.
They would not know or find out, because instead of teaching them history, the loud and noisy Neo Left has pushed in its twisted and nefarious views and agendas and coerced Western governments to focus primary school education on ill-supported theories about climate change, how to use condoms and that young children have the right to have sex change operations as we have seen in some Western countries.
The Neo Left did not only add stupid foul words and verbs such as the verb “to misgender” to the dictionary, but they have also demonized important words and rendered their use subject to ridicule and criticism. We are talking about words like honour, duty, obligation, decency, morality, sacrifice, shame, humility, patriotism, and the like. Alas, but the authors cannot see one good thing that the Neo Left has done to the minds of people of the West, especially young people.
Now compare this to young Russian students who know what VE Day stood for. All Russians, old and young, celebrate the 9th of May. They parade the streets in solemn remembrance to commemorate an expensive victory that has cost tens of millions of Russian lives. They march proudly festooning their presence with the photos of their loved ones who perished to honour them and their victory, a victory that was not meant to be only for Russia, but for the whole gamut of Allies.
But what is the percentage of Westerners, old and young, who know what that day stands for? How many Westerners in a million remember the date of the downfall of Hitler? What percentage of Westerners take a minute of silence on the eleventh minute of the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month?
China, India, Russia are more of international competitors than they are a source of threat. They are a threat because the West has become lazy, indifferent and entitled. The only way for America to deal with such “threats” now is to impose trade sanctions because it has lost its competitive edge. Mr. Xi Jinping is hardly to blame. The culprit is more than home-grown; it has become inbred in the Western psyche. It is more demographically diverse than the Marxism that many Westerners purportedly loath.
It is the Neo Left and the NGO’s that come with it, all the way from political correctness to gender confusion to theories of man-induced global warming, just to name a few. This is not to forget NGO’s that capitalize on refugees and migration for their own gain.
Ironically, such organizations consider wholesome and positive awareness education campaigns as acts of totalitarianism as mentioned above, but they have no qualms at all about manipulating the public mind by spreading lies and misinformation. They seem to thrive on spreading ignorance and fear.
They cloak themselves with sanctity, but they are wolves in sheep clothing. We can name only a few of such organizations herein, beginning with the UN, not to forget Amnesty International, AVAAZ, Get-Up, Human Rights Watch, etc. And how can we forget Greenpeace? We urge readers to take the time to read this article written by Dr. Patrick Moore, a co-founder of Greenpeace. See how he sees that Greenpeace has “lost is moral compass” http://www.cfact.org/2013/10/05-greenpeace-lost-its-moral-compass
Do the names of such NGO’s sound familiar? Some people with vested interests in the West must be benefiting from this kind of propaganda, misinformation, brain-washing and fearmongering, without giving a second thought to their detrimental effect to their own people and communities.
This is not to forget the thousands of willing recruits who sell themselves to the highest Neo Left bidder, interfering and meddling in global affairs and wars, portraying themselves as supporters, with the sole intention of serving their real masters. They manipulate opinion, take the causes they allegedly support on tangents, create mess and mayhem, open the gates for infiltrators and then move on to new turfs.
This is social engineering at it worst/best. It is all about creating controlled opposition, a tool that diverts the focus and energies of well-intentioned good people and turning them into groups and individuals that can be goaded and manipulated.
It is the Western morally-corrupt element which is solely and merely profit-driven, that is causing the most significant harm to the West, and we can hardly blame Mr. Xi Jinping or China as Mr. Soros did.
In the post-Sputnik era, I was one of the young Americans who showed the aptitude and which the system was encouraging to be a STEM student and professional. From that lifetime experience, I would strongly recommend to any young Americans around me with the same STEM aptitudes not to do follow this path.
The American system treats such technical people as temporarily useful, but ultimately expendable. The modern corporate environment pushes such people out the door by age 50. The ‘tech leaders’ like Cook at Apple want to see a room full of 20-somethings working for them, and hate to walk into a room and see any employees with grey hair. More and more those jobs are also disappearing, replaced first by outsourcing overseas and eventually by AI’s.
My recommendation to a bright young American with STEM sorts of aptitudes would be to go into either Finance or the Law. Health care might seem like a good path, but doctors have no more power than engineers in the society, and will soon be replaced largely by robots. Its the Lawyers and the Wall Street types who have political power in American society, which of course makes them very well paid.
A society that punishes the bright people who choose to go into STEM, and which creates dis-incentives (beyond being labeled a ‘nerd’) for bright people to go there, is of course going to have a very hard time maintaining any sort of excellence in STEM fields. America lived for at least a generation by importing foreign talent. It has been obvious for several decades to anyone who attends the graduation ceremonies of a good STEM university that the advanced degrees go almost entirely to foreign students. When American was a melting pot that provided opportunities, this could work as many would stay here. But now that America is becoming a Xenophobic horror show of a society where ‘dang ferriners ain’t welcome’, that technique is sure to fail as well. The Xenophobia is of course required by the lawyers and the Wall Street types to make sure that the ordinary people who get continuously shafted by the lawyers and wall street types have someone else to blame for their problems. But over time it will also reduce the flow of the bright, talent youth from the rest of the world who still believe in the value of Science and Engineering and who haven’t figured out that the American system is a confidence game for lawyers and bankers.
Thank you for the invaluable comment Opie. Actually, Intibah and I are quite aware that a significant proportion of American STEM graduates are actually foreign students, but given that the number of 588,000 was bad as it was, we didn’t want to split hairs. And speaking of hair, the fact that you are highlighting about the attitude towards STEM employees with grey hair is frightening to say the least. Companies like Apple should be diligently searching for people with long term knowledge and experience. Thank you again for the wonderful, though sad input.
Opie, excellent comment. Many years ago, my next door neighbor was working as service manager at IBM, one day he said to me those words of wisdom: “if you do not make it to be a manger by the time you are 42, you will never be one”. Not to long ago, I was talking to a fellow from Boston who happens to do contract work at many prestigious Universities (MIT, Harvard) and so happened to comment on large number of Chinese students there.
Saying I heard a few short years ago (paraphrased); “What is an American (STEM) University? Where Russian Professors lecture Chinese Students.”
Documentaries regarding Shenzhen in China often highlight the electric bus fleet of 17,000 vehicles, the high-speed train links, the numerous beautiful parks, and the number of foreigners including Europeans, who have traveled there to put their high-tech ambitions into reality, because venture capital, partners and cheap hardware are so readily available. Superannuated US STEM workers ought to consider moving to China, to share their experience and expertise.
Opie: You might want to try reconciling some of these statements:
My recommendation to a bright young American with STEM sorts of aptitudes would be to go into either Finance or the Law. . . Its the Lawyers and the Wall Street types who have political power in American society, which of course makes them very well paid.
. . . But now that America is becoming a Xenophobic horror show of a society where ‘dang ferriners ain’t welcome’, that technique is sure to fail as well. The Xenophobia is of course required by the lawyers and the Wall Street types to make sure that the ordinary people who get continuously shafted by the lawyers and wall street types have someone else to blame for their problems. But over time it will also reduce the flow of the bright, talent youth from the rest of the world who still believe in the value of Science and Engineering and who haven’t figured out that the American system is a confidence game for lawyers and bankers.
By your comparison of scientific ambition in the USA, in China and in India you mark a good point. By the way, Iran is also a very important example in this context.
Unfortunately, you do not deepen this important subject. Instead, you begin a discussion of Neo Left which, excuse me, is quite boring and old-fashioned for me. Analysing more concretely the lack of scientific ambition of the students in the USA would have been much more interesting.
The plutocracy running the USA is internationalist and understands that bringing an MD from India whose education was paid for by the economy of India to the USA is profitable especially as this person will be on best behavior due to a provisional visa and the desire to bring over as many family members as possible.
It is all about the “Benjamins”. And it is deliberate. I spoke to a young waitress the other day about her educational goals. She wants to be an X-ray tech but she is on a three year waiting list. No matter that she will be in bone crushing debt just to gain this skill.
The American working class knows it has been had. I expect a total disinterest in elections to manifest itself very soon.
The US doesn’t have a left. It has a center right relative to an extreme right ( with a insignificant handful of politco-economic “left”). In any case, the left-right meme is a myth in the us, and increasingly the West. We have a top-bottom split where the Corporate financial top controls the propaganda that divides the bottom into pseudo right and left.
“Left” and “right” as political terms were invented to produce mass confusion and take away the possibility of understanding politics. Never forgetting the “government” is a collection of people who call themselves government and pretend to a right to rule all outside their institution by any means they can impose on the productive people who vastly outnumber them, let us look to the proper scale of the stages of progression of every collection of such parasites.
The obvious scale is no institution of government at one extreme and total government at the other – zero control and manipulation to 100% control and manipulation of productive people.
There is no “left” and no “right” at all.
The fascist regimes of Mussolini and Hitler on this true scale are seen to be almost identical to the socialist regimes of Lenin and Mao, instead of the typical depiction of Hitler’s Nazi party being at one extreme and Stalin’s Communist party at the other. As Solzhenitsyn pointed out, there is socialism or collectivism with many stages of progression in robbing people of their property by various levels of terror and intimidation. In the “free” United States of America, the most hated and feared terrorist organization is the IRS with Homeland Security and the local cops and sheriff’s deputies as the iron fist inside the velvet glove of the national monster US government.
Our first move is to destroy Hamilton’s system of spoils and restore the Articles of Confederation. Then we can work on eliminating all coercive government and institute self government under the rule of God’s universal eternal law.
Well said, Blue. When I see the Democrats and their fellow travelers described as ‘Left’ I just have to laugh.
”/…/ instead of teaching them history, the loud and noisy Neo Left has pushed in its twisted and nefarious views and agendas and coerced Western governments to focus primary school education on ill-supported theories about climate change, how to use condoms and that young children have the right to have sex change operations as we have seen in some Western countries.”
Sorry, but the above passage strikes me as plain ludicrous. As if the West’s governments and media were coerced by any other force than Big Finance/Big Business. Amusingly, I get the impression that the authors, while mentioning Soros right in the blog post’s very introduction, still fail to see that he is, in fact, the very personification of their mysterious ”Neo Left”. Soros promotes both neoliberalism and Cultural Marxism, mind you.
”China, India, Russia are more of international competitors than they are a source of threat. They are a threat because the West has become lazy, indifferent and entitled.”
And, it might be added, because all three of them have suffered immensely at the hands of sheer Western barbarism.
Nussiminen, read in between the lines my friend.
The latest fashion in the Western MSM is to state that socialism does not work. Debatable. Russia and China had communist governments. For all their faults, they did produce an impressive number of educated people. Russia today is not a communist state, but it has kept many socialist features, like free education.
Compare this to the US. What is shocking is the disrespect shown by US authorities towards their young people. Yes, elementary and high school education is free, financed through taxation. How about college education ? Why the 1.5 trillion dollar student debt ? Both shocking and unbelievable.
The elite in the US has used college education as a means to control the US population. This means only those who could afford it went to university, ie. the elite. The sons of the elite, of course, ended up getting top jobs. And the result ? This article gives the answer. Many people don’t know that Microsoft uses Indian engineers to design it’s programs, like Windows. Yes, the programs are officially American, as they are produced in the US. However, Indian engineers designed them.
Worse for the US, we have the attitude of it’s young people. Some years back a survey was made of high school students, who were asked what they wanted to be. For every one who stated that he wanted to be an engineer, 66 stated that they wanted to be lawyers. What is America going to do with an army of lawyers ? I fear this attitude will make it’s contribution to the demise of the US.
@B.F.
If anything, US elementary and High Schools teach children Pindo chauvinism and a lot of nonsense, such as venerating the Pindo flag and singing the US National An(a)them(a). The only somewhat real education there are the shooting sprees. Russia and the rest of the civililized world will have none of it.
Corporate America wants cheap technical and scientific labor. As a result, financial opportunities for prospective students are simply not there. The role of the engineer is to support industrial production and since large portions of the industrial sector have been liquidated and outsourced, it’s no surprise that job prospects for engineers are not promising. Of course no student will study a STEM field just to make America great.
Ghasan & Intibah Kadi: brilliant brilliant article. One of the best I’ve read in ages, thank you. Identity Politics: divide and rule – divide and conquer. I’ve known about such controlled opposition like AVAAZ, Get Up, Democracy Now, etc for ages. There’s an excellent site called Wrong Kind Of Green (Cory Morningstar) who exposes these charlatans and fakes. I despair how many well intentioned people have been lead down a one way dead end by these ‘groups’ and I also include various ‘revolutionary socialist’ groups who are drowning in the crud of identity politics. And yes, I’m also gay, and yes, I was implacably opposed to gay marriage in Australia. I viewed it as a total diversion from much more important issues. The gay movement has been completely subsumed into a pro Neoliberalist, pro Imperialist, pro the Status Quo, compared to the staunchly anti capitalist movement of decades ago. Same with the Feminist movement – bought off, sold out, and thoroughly defanged. Apparently, women who become CEO’s or high up Managers of large Corporations is a great victory for women! And ‘The System’ -the status quo remains, there is NO equality under Capitalism. To state otherwise is bullshit. The vast majority are still being ground into the dirt, countries like Venezuela are still being attacked, and the environment continues to be ravaged for $$$. Its an Orwellian World we live in.
Thank you Gezzah, Yes Cory Morningstar’s work is amazing but she has also been misguided by some from those Neo Left groups that we write about. They are embedded everywhere and, for all we know, we could be looking through their periscope at some things without even being aware of it. For example, take Aung San Suu Kyi: she was endorsed by Hillary Clinton and then dropped like a hot potato and I feel that I am no longer able to determine what is going on there, not that I have investigated it.
Intibah Kadi: thank you. I’ve said this elsewhere, but there are times I feel like I’m living in Alice In Wonderland and 1984 at the same time! Truly, everything seems upside down and back to front. War is peace…. Save countries by bombing them back to the stone age, and overthrowing their Govts, on and on does Imperialism’s bloody rampage go. Aung San Suu Kyi was exposed by quite a few in alternative media, and her disgusting, callous handling of the Rohingya progroms made her a liability for the toads in the West. I think Oxford (?) revoked her key to the City after much pressure from activists. There’s been a big backlash against her.
Gezzah, queer matrimony is now no longer a question, and it drove the fascist haters mad. Well worth it. We need to get on with more vital questions, like the abolition of capitalism, if we still have the time left, but clearing up glaring injustices on the way is never wasted effort. After all, queer matrimony is still voluntary-they haven’t made it compulsory.
Gezzah, I was thinking about your comment on Aung San Suu Kyi and the Rohingya issue. Back in around 2012 I came across photographs of purported massacres of Rohingya by monks only to discover they were Tibetan monks retrieving/dealing with victims of an earthquake. Here are some details of the fake reports. https://loperonline.com/news/seret-biksu-dan-militer-myanmar-ke-mahkamah-internasional/24721/
and
https://www.thedailystar.net/frontpage/fake-photos-trolling-1320613
Now given everything we were experiencing with Syria and given that I was one of a small group right at the beginning of the war running with Syrians the biggest group on FB, investigating and exposing all the lies years before a particular group of Westerners took control of the narratives on Syria’s defence, my alarm bells began to ring about the Rohingya narrative. I didn’t have time to investigate but did collect a bit of information and I passed it onto a journalist named Gearoid O’Colmain. Some of that information I collected included visits of Erdogan, his family and Davutoglu in 2012 to Rohingya leadership and follow up visits including his wife visiting Rohingya in Bangladesh. https://www.rttnews.com/1944954/turkey-holds-talks-with-myanmar-on-rohingya-muslims.aspx
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tPDy6drXKKw
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aXQbKWuqH5c
Also I found that in 2015 George Soros was visiting the Rohingya leadership and also his NED foundation in America was openly sponsoring them. https://www.opensocietyfoundations.org/press-releases/open-society-foundations-and-brac-sound-alarm-rohingya-ahead-monsoon-season
Syria’s Grand Mufti even warned about what was going on with the Rohingya crisis. I am not saying I believe it to be one way or another as I haven’t delved enough into it all, but I am putting forward some things I came across in 2012 and later on and alternative views. What Syria’s Mufti said https://youtu.be/0w-z91HS0Mc
I believe Rohingya terrorists and their families turned up in Syria too.
There seems to be a lot of evidence of Rohingya being recruited by terrorists in Kashmir and I have many contacts in India telling me so. The author in the link I just quickly googled below says “ Rohingya Muslims from far off Myanmar didn’t come to Jammu after passing through no less than six states of West Bengal, Bihar, UP, Haryana, Punjab and Delhi on their own. They were brought and are being induced by Kashmiri Muslims to come to Jammu and settle there. And the process of illegal settlement was started way back in 2008 when the pro-autonomy National Conference and Congress coalition was at the helm of affairs.”

Bangladesh accused Pakistan of using Rohingya to destabilise their country
https://www.ndtv.com/india-news/obaidul-qader-rohingya-bangladesh-minister-accuses-pakistan-of-conspiring-with-rohingya-terror-group-1790342
I can’t find it now, but back in 2012 I collected some information about plans by Myanmar’s enemies to carve out a state with sea access to it, using this area where many Rohingya live. I had some documents related to it.
So there’s a lot of regional and geo-politics going on and of course various agenda related to extremist Muslim ideologies.
Intibah: much appreciate the links and info about Soros & Erdogan visiting Rohingya leadership, and other info. I’m pretty gobsmacked. My beliefs on what happened in Rohingya have just been turned upside down. And bloody wicked Soros, the NED, and all the other ‘NGO front organisations’ are everywhere. Follow the money – look where their funding is coming from, look who is behind these groups. And yes, as the Grand Mufti pointed out: vast amount of coverage in the Western media (espec here in Australia) on the Rohingya crisis, virtual silence on the slaughter in Yemen, and Palestine. Sigh….
Soros, in my opinion, is a Zionazi grandee, a hyper-parasitical financial gangster whose billions were looted from victim societies like the UK. He has invested many millions, and is a ‘bundler’ for other elite loot, in maliciously interfering in societies in order to install stooge regimes that will open those countries for looting by the likes of his grisly self. His hatred of China is rooted, I would say, in straight racism, and the Zionazis’ concomitant fear of a great civilization that they will never be able to suborn, corrupt and control, as they have the West, the USA in particular. If China rises to global power, all the efforts of centuries made by the Judaic supremacists and moneyed interests, to control the West and thereby make Israel and their own racketeering safe from opposition, resistance and justice, will be dashed. No self-adoring and self-worshiping Zionazi or Judeofascist will ever tolerate being reduced to the status of mere fellow human being, which is all that is on offer from the Chinese, for Israeli or Palestinian alike.
Mulga: well said M. Zionism is like a supremacist cult. Completely brainwashed, and deeply racist. Trying to debate a couple of hardcore zionists on another site in Aussie, its almost pointless. You can’t reason with them. The West is sinking, society is shredding and we are becoming more alienated and isolated from ourselves and each other: atomised. All staring at our phones and laptops. Escapism from the reality around us. And the Anglo Zionist Empire is getting desperate, they will do anything to maintain their hegemony. Scary, nerve wracking times.
The Zionazis, a category almost congruent with Zionists, are, in my opinion, the most hate-crazed people on Earth. Only they don’t see themselves as ‘people’ but as something higher.
I believe the hatred displayed by the Zionazis, who do not represent all Jews, but, unfortunately, a large proportion in Israel, and among elites in the Diaspora and the usual fanatics, is driven by three or so factors. First, Judaism is a cult or modus operandi based on radical separation from non-Jews, and eternal conflict with them. That is certainly still true after 3500 years of the Talmudic Orthodox and Ultra-Orthodox and the secular supremacists. Many Jews do not still think like this, but are prone to collective solidarity lest they be ostracised as a ‘self-hating Jew’ or, bizarrely, an ‘antisemite’.
Second, Zionazis display the usual Western settler colonists extreme hatred of the indigenous untermenschen who must be expelled or exterminated so that the European Herrenvolk can steal their God-ordained lebensraum, and anyone, Jew or goy alike, who dares defend them. And, third, many Jews are still afflicted by hatred and fear of the goyim after the horror of the Nazi Judeocide. These factors produce crazed fanatics driven by hatreds and rancour so extreme that it poisons Jewish societies everywhere, and inside Israel in particular.
Thanks Mulga: in my utterly futile battles with these ‘people’ elsewhere, I’ve name dropped numerous Jewish people like Illan Pappe, Max Blumenthal, Mondoweiss, B’Tselem, and others, and the rote response every time is these people or organisations I mention are “self hating jews”. The zealots are literally robotic in their replies. Scary shit.
Soros had early lessons on how to loot:
The 60 Minutes Interview George Soros Tried To Bury!
@ 6:47 min
You have to go back to the very beginning to Budapest where George Soros was born 68 years ago [to] two parents who were wealthy well-educated and Jewish when the Nazis occupied Budapest in 1944.
George Soros his father was a successful lawyer. He lived on an island in the Danube and liked to commute to work in a rowboat. But knowing there were problems ahead for the Jews he decided to split his family up. He bought them forged papers and he bribed a government official to take 14 year-old George Soros in and swear that he was his Christian godson.
But survival carried a heavy price tag. While hundreds of thousands of Hungarian Jews were being shipped off to the death camps George Soros accompanied this phony Godfather on his appointed rounds
confiscating property from the Jews.
These are pictures from 1944 of what happened to George Soros [and?] his friends [and] neighbours. [Hungarian Jew who escaped the Holocaust by posing as a Christian.],
“[Y]ou watched lots of people get shipped off to the death camps.”
“Right. That was [when I was] 14 years old and I would say that that’s when my character was made”
“In what way?”
“That one should think ahead, one should understand and anticipate events. One is
threatened; it was a tremendous threat of evil. I mean it was a very personal experience of evil.”
“My understanding is that you went out with this protector of yours who swore that you were his adopted godson.”
“Yes yes when I would in fact help in the confiscation of property from the Jews, yes.”
“I mean that’s that sounds like an experience that would send lots of people to the psychiatric couch for many many years. Was it difficult?”
“No not at all, not at all. It may be I says ciao.”
“You don’t see the connection.”
“But it was it created. ”
“No, no problem at all no feeling of guilt know for example, that I’m Jewish and here I am watching these people go ? I could just as easily be there I should be there?”
“None of that. Well of course I could be on the other side or I could be the one from whom it the thing is being taken away. But there was no sense that I shouldn’t be there because that was well, actually funny [in a ?] way. It’s just like in markets; that if I weren’t there of course I wasn’t doing it but somebody
else would be taking it away anyhow. Whether I was there or not I was only a spectator. The property was being taken away so I had no role in taking away that property so I had no sense of guilt.”

soros is an agent of “empire” as are most if not all NGO’s. what country typically benefits from his distructive criminal manipulations.
The neocons are CIA spawn. see the article “neoconservatism a cia front” This article first appeared in 1997 in The Rothbard-Rockwell Report.
Correct, The US has no True left. it has been infiltrated and destroyed and what is now considered left has moved an inch away from the right or even moved to the right of the right.
They are virtually indistinguishable as many have said for 100 yrs about.
two heads of one snake now worse than ever.
PC and all that other garbage is social engineering to divide and conquer the masses and have you looking overthere while they steal everything including your life. Most likely all coming out of the slew of corporate / intelligence complex think-tanks.
And not one of the worlds socialist experiments has been allowed to succeed or fail on their own. Look at Venezuela, Yugoslavia, USSR, Cuba to name a few.
As for STEM when I was a electronic techician (with AAS degree going to school at night for BSET) in late 90’s engineers had already told me about getting out of the field, but being young I didn’t understand. well now i understand. After many companies i worked at being taken over (hostile destructive) and being told many times by management that no jobs would be lost and of course they lied. first lay-offs, then eventually some doors closing.
Running from coming lay-offs to another job many times and seeing more foreigners (on visas) less american born working as techs, engineers programmers etc. then going on interviews being only american born. till never got a call anymore. Already in your 40s they were trying to “age” you in interviews. Till no more reply’s at all from resumes or success with all the new web services because everything shifted to internet. Then the Headhunters always found something totally unrelated to any experience you had. This was typical for many americans I know from there 40’s on No matter how competent and I have known many very good techs engineers etc. who went through this.
Also One Engineer told me a Headhunter let it slip that they placed the visa applicants first ahead of Americans.
Moral of this story; If I knew better would have taken engineers advice when young and gotten out of stem and not wasted (yes wasted time getting AAS then BSET then one year towards master in comp-sci) all that time. instead would have become electrician or plumber or something.
Also the west is not becoming Lazy. THe globalists are fashioning this world. forging their one world transnational corp control fuedal system where only their profits / power/ control matter. A corporate culture of materialism and garbage as in america where High culture or any old cultures are destroyed for MAMMON for the few. The drive to the bottom for all.
Billy: “the drive to the bottom for all”. Really appreciate your spot on comment Billy. I had a manufacturing job that got sent to China. As a New Zealand citizen living in Australia, I get no welfare here, even tho I paid taxes in Australia. I sell a street magazine to survive (The Big Issue). Thats my only income. Have applied for hundreds of jobs in the last few years – Hundreds; Manufacturing, retail, cleaning, charity fundraising, warehouse, even car wash jobs. Don’t even get replies, nothing. Am in my 50s, and have basically given up looking. As you said ‘The drive to the bottom for all’. I agree with you that there is no true Left in the United States, apart from scattered miniscule groups, who undoubtedly would be infiltrated and smashed if they started becoming a threat. Same situation here in Australia, billy. Any threat to the status quo is terminated or otherwise is controlled opposition to lead people down a blind alley. Most trade unions have been completely co opted and bureaucratised. Long gone are the days of Eugene Debs, Daniel DeLeon and Paul Robeson to name 3 examples. The future is looking pretty bleak, aye. And the real irony is we vastly outnumber these bloodsucking parasites who kill so many human beings and are raping and pillaging our Planet for their own pathological greed.
I celebrate the fact that I can read excellent articles such as this and many others on this site-articles and analysis that have completely disappeared from the mass media that is owned by the corrupt ruling Elite in America. Thank you Saker and all the wonderful authors.
Now the question is how do we get this type of rather complex analysis to Joe six-pack. After all unless we get through to Joe six-pack the corrupt ruling Elite will remain on the throne.
i am latin american and a socialist. Needless to say why in a world where capitalistic laws and social behaviours has led to a global presstitute media and to a dominance of monopolistic giants. Who devour us.
What the hell is new left?
I don t know. But if you say that Putin, xi, AMLO and lula da silva are new leftists, then for sure i am one of them. And give a damn to your rabbid labels.
