As China Prepares for War, Will There Be a “Sleeping Giant” to Awaken?

As you may know, it was The Battle of Pearl Harbor that got the United States officially into WWII.  Japan attacked Pearl Harbor with “four heavy aircraft carriers” and the accompanying fleet.  The result of this attack was that 3,581 Americans were either killed or wounded, and numerous military aircraft, ships and facilities were either damaged or destroyed. 

It was stated that after the attack, the Japanese Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto wrote in his diary, “I fear all we have done is to awaken a sleeping giant and fill him with a terrible resolve”.  At that time America had a great industrial base and great energy base to power things, so indeed, a sleeping giant was awakened and America’s factories and energy were spent for the next four years becoming a war machine that eventually defeated the Axis powers.

Today we are in a different situation.  Too many American politicians have lined their pockets through encouraging American companies to invest in foreign nations instead of America.  So the great industrial base of America is skeletal at best.  In 1945 the US produced 67% of the world’s pig iron and 72% of the steel.  By 2014 the US was only producing 2.4% of the pig iron and 5.3% of the world’s steel.  In contrast, by 2021 the Chinese company China Baowu is the world’s top steel producer. 

I wonder what China could be doing with all this steel?  Let’s see, oh, they have just completed building their third aircraft carrier and the accompanying fleet and are on course to have five of six carriers, and their accompany fleet, by the 2030s or before.  In fact “President Xi Jinping has overseen an overhaul of the People’s Liberation Army since coming to power in 2012, and has pledged to build a “fully modern” force rivaling the US military by 2027”.

Well, what else would China be doing with all of its steel?  Well, they are building amphibious landing craft that are as tall as 15 story buildings, and presently their numbers of amphibious landing craft are ranked second only to that of the US in global amphibious capability.  According to a US Defense Department report released in November 2021, China has the biggest maritime force on the globe with 355 ships, and that number is projected to increase to 420 ships within the next four years and to 460 ships by 2030.  Obviously, all of this naval force is needed to patrol the South China Sea.  Right?

Well, surely you don’t think they would use such a force to take Taiwan, do you?  Taiwan is the last refuge of the Democracy that China once was before the communist takeover in 1949.  So surely we can believe Biden when he says he sees no “imminent” threat that China would use force to take Taiwan, ---except for the fact that President Xi himself said in the opening speech of the Communist Party’s 20^th congress in Beijing, “We insist on striving for the prospect of peaceful reunification with the greatest sincerity and best efforts, but we will never promise to give up the use of force and reserve the option to take all necessary measures”.

So, who cares about Taiwan?  Why don’t we just allow China to take Taiwan and “unify” what they say is their country.  Well, because of US foreign investments, and the lining of the pockets of globalist US government officials, Taiwan manufactures “most of the world’s microchips”, which are used in everything from cars, to coffee makers, to combine harvesters.  In fact Taiwan makes ~92 % of all advanced microchips in a handful of coast-based microchip factories that could easily be destroyed before the US could even respond.  Remember, we use these microchips in military applications also.  If China chose to take over these factories instead of destroying them, then China could easily hardwire-in back doors to these chips where a specific signal could render them useless.  So now have US globalist forced our country to have an interest in preserving Taiwan as a friendly democracy?  I think the answer is, “yes”.

Well, we have overlooked something.  How is China going to have enough energy to make this war machine that they are making.  Oh, that is easy.  China is building over half of the world’s new coal-based power plants, dramatically increasing their power production.  Now one of my references stated, “In all fairness China…said it will drastically cut coal use in 2026 to meet that (clean energy) goal”.  Let me see, President Xi said he plans to have a military that will rival the US in 2027 and he is going to start worrying about “clean energy” in 2026.  With a military might that rivals the US, how much do you want to bet that China will not be going “Green”.

Does that mean that I think that China will have a face-to-face conflict with the US?  China’s military leaders have published two books.  The titles are “The Art of War” and “Unrestricted Warfare”.  “The Art of War” is an ancient Chinese military book of tactics focusing on 13 steps to winning a war among which is exploiting the weakness of an enemy.  “Unrestricted Warfare” was written by two Chinese Senior Air Force colonels and explains how a nation, such as China, can defeat a technologically superior nation, such as the United Sates.  “The book argues that the primary weakness of the United States in military matters is that the US views revolution in military thought solely in terms of technology”.  The book also argues that the United States does not consider the wider picture of military strategy, which includes legal and economic factors, and says that the US is vulnerable to attacks along these lines.  The book states that reducing one’s opponent can be accomplished in a number of ways, other than direct military conflict, and have the same, if not even greater, destructive force.

Let’s see, is there any evidence that China could be attacking the US in other ways other than using its military might? 

Well, let’s see, there is evidence that China is interfering with US elections, helping US voters to agree with China as whom we want to run our country. 

China has also, thus far, purchased nearly 200,000 acres of US farmland, much of which just happens to be near US military bases.  Has anyone checked to see what is in their grain silos? 

China clearly has been buying politicians with millions of dollars going to the Biden family.  “Please move along.  Nothing of interest here”. 

In 2021 illicit fentanyl overdoses was the number one cause of death among adults ages 18-45 in the US, causing more deaths than COVID-19, cancer, heart disease and all other accidents.  According to an unclassified DEA Intelligence Report, China is the primary source of precursors for fentanyl, supplying these materials to Mexico, where they are then trafficked into the US.  I am sure China’s involvement is simply ---that it is just interesting chemistry. 

Lastly, an excellent article by Lt. Col. Zumwalt published in March of 2020 entitled, “Whose fingerprints are on the coronavirus?” clearly shows that China was responsible for the COVID-19 worldwide pandemic.  After researching Zumwalt’s references and following a few more into the scientific journals, I realized in March of 2020 that not only were China’s fingerprints on the COVID virus, but we had the smoking gun, the ballistics of the bullet, and were looking into the face of the criminal suspect.  It is extremely clear what happened at the Wuhan Laboratory.  COVID did not begin with people eating bat-meat from a fish market that did not sell bat-meat.  It began in the Wuhan Lab after American Scientists taught them how to do the work.  This is another example of “how stupid can you be”.  Worse than the release of the virus, was the truth that while China contained the virus in Wuhan by fencing off the city, they actually encouraged international flights out of Wuhan until March of 2020. 

Surely, China would not have purposely caused the spread of COVID.  Please remember that the first confirmed case of COVID was reported December 1, 2019 in China.  This brings up an interesting point.  In the summer of 2019 President Donald Trump, in an attempt to help American manufacturers, businesses, and jobs, placed tariffs on billions of dollars of Chinese goods to level the playing field in the market place.  I understand that there was an additional 300 billion dollars on the table that brought China to a negotiating stage concerning trade.  Isn’t it interesting that just two months later the Chinese COVID virus hits. 

I am sure that some would say that all of these things are just coincidental, but are they? ---or are they part of the “Art of War” with “Unrestricted Warfare”?

With globalist politicians wanting to tax businesses so that they move offshore, and globalist politicians wanting to shut down our coal-fired power plants, and globalist politicians want to shut down our use of fossil fuels, even though 61% the nation’s power grid depends on these fuels, ---the obvious question is, “If America were attacked, will there be a sleeping giant left to awake?”
