"The Russians are coming!" There was even a crazy TV film depicting a Soviet invasion of the United States, culminating in the Soviet shooting of all members of the U.S. Congress. The only act of the U.S. resistance was the sobbing as the dead bodies of the shot members of the U.S. Congress were discovered. The United States was represented as a virtually defenseless small Third-World country, and Soviet Russia as an advanced superpower like Great Britain versus Transvaal at the beginning of the 20th century.

In the early 1970s, the Soviet rulers launched (in reality!) the development of post-nuclear superweapons, carried further by China in 1986, to circumvent Mutual Assured Destruction. For the first time in its history, Soviet Russia and then the dictatorship of China became (a real!) mortal danger to the United States. Absurdly enough, the Cold War in the West was cheerfully superseded by "the relaxation of world tension," friendship, and trade.

In the 1970s, Howard Phillips was the director of one of the offices of President Nixon's administration. A brilliant career for a young man who had graduated from Harvard only a few years earlier. The trouble was that Nixon was "as insane as everyone else": once a Cold War Republican when the U.S. was safe, he became the Soviet dictators' friend when they were becoming a mortal danger. Phillips resigned, and left the Republican Party (he had been assistant to the chairman of the Republican National Committee).

In 2001 I quoted the "Howard Phillips Issues and Strategy Bulletin" as demonstrating how mortally dangerous is the friendship of the U.S. political establishment with China's dictatorship. Yet that insane friendship is flourishing today as it was five or ten years ago and will possibly flourish when the dictators of China present the United States or the West as a whole with the ultimatum demanding: surrender unconditionally or be annihilated by post-nuclear superweapons.

The "Howard Phillips Issues and Strategy Bulletin" is published today as it was five years ago. But Howard Phillips cannot become the U.S. president as long as insanity reigns supreme in the U.S. mainstream media and thus affects the mentality of most Americans, including most members of the U.S. Congress.

A reader of mine has recently sent me a Newsweek article describing "Program 863." He knows that I have been speaking of Program (or Project) 863 since the time it was founded in China in 1986, while the U.S. media and hence the U.S. administration, and U.S. Congress have been silent about it for nearly twenty years, and hence my reader sent me the other day the amazing news: "Program 863 in a Newsweek article" of Jan. 16, 2006!

According to the Chinese press, Program 863 was founded to develop post-nuclear superweapons in seven fields, able to shashou jian (incapacitate at a blow) the United States or the West as a whole unless they surrender unconditionally. But the Newsweek article is entitled "High-Tech Hunger." You see? As a backward country, China is hungry for high-tech. Why not? A backward country is hungry for wealth and urban conveniences. Why not high-tech? As the author (Melinda Liu) puts it: The "863 Program"-so named because in March 1986 Deng Xiaoping decreed Beijing would begin bankrolling key science and technology research-aims to vault China into the ranks of developed nations.

Who can be against the vaulting of an undeveloped country into the ranks of developed nations? Three cheers and best wishes!

The total Western public silence about Program 863 at least led to uneasy suspicion. Why this silence about it? The insanity in 2006 of the Newsweek and of Melinda Liu leads to insanity. Even a person who has heard of Program 863 is reassured-is misled by Melinda Liu's ravings.

Says Melinda Liu:

Beijing's ("high-tech") boom has prompted some [!] Western strategists to warn that China might . . . threaten Washington's Asian friends militarily.

Not Washington, of course! Or Western Europe! To say this would be as ridiculous as to suggest in 1900 that Transvaal might, "in the not-too-distant future," threaten the British Empire. But "some [!] Western strategists" are worried about "Washington's Asian friends." Thank God, there are the United States and the West in general to keep China from hurting them. True, in contrast to China, the United States has not been developing post-nuclear superweapons, such as molecular nano weapons, which Eric Drexler, the founder of nanotechnology, describes in his seminal book of 1986-in the chapter "Engines of Destruction." But who needs them? Look at Iraq!

Three years have not yet passed since the beginning of the Coalition's invasion, yet what a victory! The Chinese dictators must be shaking in their boots! God forbid that they make the United States angry by hurting one of "Washington's Asian friends"!

As the Newsweek article came out, the key public subject in the West was the need to bomb out the nuclear research in Iran since its nuclear research would lead to the production of nuclear bombs. In China, the successful testing of nuclear bombs began in 1964. Not only does not the Newsweek article mention China's nuclear arsenal of 2006. The article does not mention China's development of post-nuclear superweapons, for which Program 863 was founded in 1986!

No, in this cultural atmosphere, tantamount to mass insanity, Howard Phillips could not and cannot become the president of the United States.

It is necessary to launch sane national television programs and introduce a bit of sanity into the mainstream media. Helpful could also be a sane film for a national audience to depict the national tragedy of the United States through the personal tragedy of an American scientist of genius, who has been studied and eulogized in China, but has not received a cent from the U.S. Congress for his research.

As I noted in my Internet column of April 25, 2003, "Will Howard Phillips Be the Next U.S. President?", Winston Churchill became the British prime minister since the mass insanity of 1938 vanished dramatically in 1939 after Hitler gobbled up "the rump of Czechoslovakia" and invaded Poland. We cannot expect any dictator of China to invade Mexico or Canada: the dictators of China are shrewd geostrategically. After Japan's unconditional surrender in 1945 as a result of two U.S. "atom bombs" (superweapons of that time) they understand that the geostrategy must be shashou jian, the fatal blow, not a protracted conventional war.

The only way is to awaken "the majority of the American (or Western) people" to the mortal danger of shashou jian, prepared in China since 1986. Then Howard Phillips will be the president of the United States.
