China Writer T.P. Wilkinson : The “West’s” long-term strategic action.
For some years I have argued in these pages that perspective is crucial for comprehensive understanding of otherwise contradictory or seemingly incoherent events. Since the ordinary academic disciplines segment perception and analysis rather than broaden it, I have preferred to call my approach comparative cultural history.
In my collection Unbecoming American I outline and exemplify this way of examining and assessing historical and current events—to discern processes. Diop in his Civilization or Barbarism laid considerable groundwork for this approach as did Bernal in his Black Athena. Methodologically I am indebted to Morse Peckham’s Explanation and Power. Stanley Aronowitz’s Science as Power is also quite useful when placing the religions of science and economics in this perspective.
As far as I know none of these books has made it into the canon of critical political economic research. They are not even widely read in their respective fields of study. However if any reader feels inclined to pursue the framework of the following remarks then I can only recommend they be added to the reading list.
The war against Iran is not a mistake or a miscalculation but a culmination of decades of aggressive cultural warfare. When Donald Trump announced the attempt to assassinate a civilization this was no hyperbole. He simply uttered a vulgar truism about the aims of the West for the past 500 years. As offensive as the statement was to anyone with a conscience, it is an honest articulation of that “heart of darkness” that beats in the bodies of the Western ruling class. It ought to be taken very seriously, even while speculation continues as to the capacity of the US war machine to execute the mission to which it has been called.
Although in fact consonant with my thinking– and therefore not surprising– there is a Chinese-Canadian teacher/ podcaster named Zhang, who discusses the war against Iran as part of a Greater North America strategy driven by a confluence of interests in what I call the Anglo-American-Israeli elite (whereby Israel in my view is just the operational terrorist arm of the underlying hedge fund oligarchy).
Attention should be given to Mackinder’s 1904 paper “The Geographical Pivot” when trying to understand the Ukraine war and its inevitability from the Western point of view. The distortion of 20th century history by the scholarly-publishing cartel established through the Rothschild-Rhodes-Milner Group (Royal Institute, Chatham House and its subsidiaries) has been enormously successful in diverting attention from the continuity of long-term strategic action in the 20th century. This includes the complete falsification of those events in WWII upon which the myth of settler-colonialism in Palestine was based.
Here it is worth carefully reading Quigley’s posthumous The Anglo-American Establishment. Correctly Zhang sees Trump, Kushner et al. and naturally Netanyahu as the expendable faces of this strategy. Hitler and Mussolini (a paid British agent) were expendable monsters in the 20th century.
The revived manipulation of Japan can best be understood by recalling its adoption in the circle of “honorary white” countries after the Treaty of Portsmouth. Kissinger and Obama were not the first war criminals to receive Nobel Peace prizes. What is the core of this strategy? Total control over the Western hemisphere and its key natural resources shielded by geography from assault by anything less than ballistic missiles.
For this to be the fortress of world control it is necessary to control the Middle East– now by denying access to it. He does not say so but this is why the Ukraine and Israel form a continuous front against the East (Russia and China). That is also why these wars will not stop in the near future.
Neither Russia nor China are positioned to fight the US at its source and are limited in their ability to confront the US in Eurasia by virtue of the complexities of such campaigns and the demands of their domestic policies.
As I have also argued the COVID campaign was part of this long-term strategy since it made substantial contributions to destroying the SME sector and weakening the expendable populations of all those who succumbed to the vaccination craze. From the US point of view, destroying the EU as an industrial and commercial power was important, too. After COVID the extensive penetration of the EU economies by post-war US AAIE financial interests made the pressure to relocate whatever high-value industrial capacity the EU had to the US relatively easy. This process continues more or less unabated.
This depressing scenario notwithstanding there is never a guarantee that the strategy will succeed. However, the fact that it is being aggressively pursued means we will suffer global war in Eurasia for some time to come.
