What do you think, Chinese Posturing? or something that has the potential to blow up into a major conflict?

http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-china-36781138

I think the Americans have the grunt to deal to China, but there would be a huge amount of damage done to that region in doing so.

China has a deep belief that the area belongs to them ... similar to Israel v Palestine. They have a pretty good military although I think only one aircraft carrier which i think they bought from Russia. Many coast based missiles though so they have a long reach.

For an interesting take on how this could turn out I refer you to the Tom Clancy novel 'Threat Vector'.

China has backed its expansive claims with island-building and naval patrols. The US says it does not take sides in territorial disputes, but has sent military ships and planes near disputed islands, calling them "freedom of navigation" operations to ensure access to key shipping and air routes.

So what has it got to do with America? - Why don't they just MTOB for a change? - Leave it to the dis-United Nations to sort out! :facepalm:

There is an old adage if things are not going well in the economy create a diversion.
#note China growth while being above the worlds av, is not meeting their own promised projections.
They don't really want a revolution but its inevitable, given the peoples hunger for Mcdonalds, Coke and Levi jeans.

Oldie Japan is allied with USA as is Korea and the Philippines, remember the waters that China is now asserting as their own are hundreds of KM's into the international waters zone.
Hence freedom of navigation operations, who do you seriously expect to call china's bluff?

The current drama has been simmering for years but China is now pushing hard. There are oil deposits around the Spratly Islands but it's not just about oil, it's also about fishing rights. Malaysia, The Philippines, Vietnam, Brunei, and Taiwan, all have claims on the Spratly Islands in addition to China.

Everybody had been watching China build a military airstrip and nobody has done anything about it. Now what? Helen might be better off if she didn't win the race for Secretary General of the UN? The new appointee may inherit a giant problem.

Its either " why hasn't America done anything" or " War mongering Americans"

How is China's claim any different to America claiming :

Puerto Rico,Guam Northern Mariana Islands, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and American Samoa. Ten territories are small islands, atolls and reefs, spread across the Caribbean and Pacific, with no native or permanent populations: Palmyra Atoll, Baker Island, Howland Island, Jarvis Island, Johnston Atoll, Kingman Reef, Wake Island, Midway Islands, Navassa Island and Serranilla Bank. Uninhabited Bajo Nuevo Bank is administered by Colombia, but claimed by the United States under the Guano Islands Act.

and in a collapsing economy , and especially if you need a world paradigm shift. You need a global event.

been saying that for a while , I was looking back , yesterday , through me old notes... evernote!


The global economy is slowing to the point of collapse
The same conditions as in the 1933 stock market crash are in place , stratospheric stock market, zero interest and 99% of the population dumber than horse manure ( they weren't in the 1930s)
When you look at the trends of the us economy, right before a Regime change they tank the economy. The very nature of a capitalist debt based economy is that it is cyclic and NEEDS to be reset..
And if you want a global paradigm shift you need a global event, such as Breton woods and how did Breton woods come to be?
So with a high probability of a reset coming , it doesn't matter what buffoon you have as a mouthpiece. They are not the ones calling the shots. Look for the money. the trilateral commission, Rockefeller .Zbiginew Brzinsky.. Kissinger... these nut-jobs are the real power ..and there are probably people controlling them . I can't prove that point though, they have increased their rhetoric since the Soviet collapse, as this cleared away any opposition.
Either way If American keeps its current foreign policy it will end in war with either Russia or China .. possibly through a third party .

If Britain remains in the EU the Anglo American money will use the EU to step up provocations towards the Russians and or China or the third party ... if Britain leaves the EU then expected the pound to be attacked and devaluation to occur. Either way
This will cause large social unrest ..war is the easiest option as it will most likely be nuclear and the resulting mess is easier to police.
So if it inevitable that large social unrest will happen therefore:
You as a government need ... a small compliant population.. ,either brain-dead or unarmed. Scared shirtless that the boogie man will eat their children for breakfast false flags such as Paris ,Brussels , sandy hook ,,and a controlled media, help no end in the scaring of the sheep.
So that under the pretense of protecting society draconian laws can be introduced. Kiss good bye to any freedoms you have now. Internet, the right to free speech , healthy food privacy , these are all being discussed and removed right now ..not if ..but actually happening
The technique of how this happens is well thought out . Trilateral commission and globalists have a plan , outlined above. They set out an agreement using a event that effects us all , such as global warming , environmental concerns . Using such an agreement ,agenda 21 or agenda 2o30 as it is called now. Policies are put in place at the local level using people who think they are helping humanity, when actually they the people are assisting in the creation of this hunger games society , such as , steering committees ICLEI ( Rockefeller owned and operated ...and Auckland New Zealand "5 point plan" is really just ICLEI's plan in different colours.

So while the word conspiracy may evoke all sorts of ideas , there is provably a global plan for the few to relive the golden age, based of the sufferings of us , the great unwashed ....

Finally , if you the person reading this thinks I'm wrong , now is your chance to offer evidence either for or against and to ask me for my evidence. Wake up people , she's all on .......



and


I havent settled on how, its is only a matter of when things get interesting and people start to dust off the pitchforks

a deflationary cycle , or an inflationary one

At the moment there is a lot of money churning between the government and private banks increasing at the very minimum of the 10 year bond rate.

Due to the removal of the glass steagal act , banks may also speculate leading to an over inflated stock market and bubbles in assets , housing etc .

If, due to the dedollarisation and/or a combination of the above, people start to feel alienated , unempowered or just pissed off, one small unconnected event may be all it takes. London , bedroom tax march , or NHS and London goes south!

The collapsing reserve currency, In Europe , a grexit will happen followed by Spain or Italy and that will lead to possibly a total European economic collapse/ readjustment . Greece was 300 billion , spain owes over a trillion

I can't prove that point though,

Now, I'm not saying that the scenario painted is impossible - but as you say - you can't prove it, the problem here is that we have heard these doom and gloom predictions before, they couldn't prove it either and despite all the incidents that people point to as 'proof' that there is an GUCT (Grand Unified Conspiracy Theory) - it hasn't resulted in the civilization ending apocalypse that the proponents claimed it would.

The United Nations Security Council "power of veto" refers to the veto power wielded solely by the five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council (China, France, Russia, United Kingdom, and United States), enabling them to prevent the adoption of any "substantive" resolution, as well as decide which issues fall under "substantive" title.

Because of the use or threat of the veto, the Security Council could at best have a limited role in certain wars and interventions in which its Permanent Members were involved – for example in Algeria (1954–62); Suez (1956), Hungary (1956), Vietnam (1946–75), the Sino-Vietnamese war (1979), Afghanistan (1979–88), Panama (1989), Iraq (2003), and Georgia (2008)[

This has been going on now since before I moved here over four years ago, but has escalated in the last year.

It's getting to the stage now that the Chinese warships are chasing Filipino fishermen from their traditional fishing grounds. The Spratleys have always been claimed by the Philippines and are in the West Philippine sea, NOT the South China sea, as claimed by China. They are a lot closer to the Philippines than they are to China.

I see this as invasion by stealth.

The United Nations Security Council "power of veto" refers to the veto power wielded solely by the five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council (China, France, Russia, United Kingdom, and United States), enabling them to prevent the adoption of any "substantive" resolution, as well as decide which issues fall under "substantive" title.

Because of the use or threat of the veto, the Security Council could at best have a limited role in certain wars and interventions in which its Permanent Members were involved – for example in Algeria (1954–62); Suez (1956), Hungary (1956), Vietnam (1946–75), the Sino-Vietnamese war (1979), Afghanistan (1979–88), Panama (1989), Iraq (2003), and Georgia (2008)[

I was rather surprised they were on it myself, I also thought the UK would have been on it as well. That said, I doubt China takes much interest on the humanitarian side of the UN though.

Relations between them are still rather frosty still on account of it. Japan didn't even formally apologise until 1972 and even then, it was a pretty weak one at best

Well I'm not the one who's been running around in circles crying about the sky falling every second tuesday since Bretton Woods.

I'm the one who's been pointing at you and laughing for almost as long.

So let's let the facts demonstrate who knows what, eh, I know it's not your usual méthode, but given that it hasn't worked, ever you might want to consider changing your vision du monde.

It's getting to the stage now that the Chinese warships are chasing Filipino fishermen from their traditional fishing grounds.

I see this as invasion by stealth.

china don't send warships to do their dirty work. They use their "coast guard" vessels (which are occasionally warships that have reached the end of their useful life and then repainted white/red) to intimidate and ram other vessels.
Also, commercial vessels are expected to do "AS ORDERED" by the military, which involves ramming and sinking - even at the cost of their own vessel. Compensation will obviously be paid to them for doing so.

All of the south china sea, the Mallacan straights AND the Indian Ocean are claimed by china. A great country which has never had blue-water aspirations or abilities previously.


The "death by a thousand cuts" approach is the preferred method of chinese criminal activity here.

I've been telling you lot this for the past five years though, so you should be appreciating the situation...

Well they did wallow around a lot of the area in those fucking huge junks, somewhat before Her Majesty's finest ventured into it. The size being a necessary feature for the particular style of trading prevalent in the east, then. Piracy basically. Anything smaller was fair game.

A lot of it is very thin, which caused a lot of the western fleet quite some difficulty. Unlike the locals, which drew a mere couple of feet.

Ruling against China

http://www.msn.com/en-nz/money/markets/breathtaking-ruling-against-china-will-have-lasting-impact-everywhere/ar-BBugoDG

China suffered a major defeat Tuesday morning as an international court rebuked its claims on distant waters that contain the world's busiest shipping lanes and declared some of its expansionary tactics illegal.
A tribunal at the Permanent Court of Arbitration in The Hague, Netherlands, issued the ruling in a dispute between China and the Philippines, and the decision — and the responses of both those countries and others — could mark one of the most significant geopolitical events in years, according to experts

China is threatening to slap tariffs on New Zealand dairy, wool and kiwifruit imports if this country investigates allegations of steel dumping, according to a report.

The warning shot from our major export market comes as dairy farmers struggle with low prices and follows substandard Chinese steel forcing a redesign of bridge piles on the Huntly section of Waikato Expressway.

No don't think so , IMHO
It still looks like Ukraine that area.. Russia has been ring fenced . Both in china and in Poland etc
Putin , has clearly told the west who is doing what, I mean he said to the western press the other day " what do I have to do ,to get it through to you , the world is in danger of sleep walking into ww3..."
Now the German and Italian banks are broke ... in the case if ze jermans ,too much exposure to derivatives 70 trillion I believe ..and the Italians have had bail ins I believe,, zem jermans want that Italian gold hahahaa
So which is first the banks melt then a distraction or will the distraction reset the banks.
Either way, the people running the joint are bat shyt crazy.. I mean total helter skelter looks
Prince Phillip " I want to return as a virus" .. Kissinger, article 200 ,,and big zbiggie styles ( Zbiginew Brzinsky) almost pathological hatred of the Chinese and Russians ( read his books)
Though the Philippines are getting a bit pissy ..
