Lev - Why is the West asleep?
This is what I was asked by Jonathan Smithson, an Australian (half English half Chinese), who sent me a piece from a speech delivered by Chi Haotian, the Minister of National Defense of China up to 2004 and a top military analyst today, and published by the dissident Chinese newspaper The Epoch Times, sold in English in the English-speaking countries. The space allocated by The Epoch Times to Chi was summarized as follows: "A leading Chinese Communist Party official argues for exterminating the population of the United States."
In Chi's 12-page (8-pt type size) speech, which The Epoch Times published on June 6, 2009, under the title "WWIII: War Is Not Far from Us and Is the Midwife of the Chinese Century," Chi devoted on what is page 2 of The Epoch Times publication to his demonstration that the Chinese are the superior race to win in WWIII its right to the "Chinese century." Says Chi:
"Hitler's Germany had once bragged that the German race was the most superior race on Earth, but the fact is, our nation is far superior to the Germans."
Jonathan Smithson sent me two e-mails. One contains a piece of Chi's speech from The Epoch Times. In the other, Smithson (who has degrees in law and medicine) is asking me "Lev-Why is the West asleep?"
Let us see the piece of Chi's speech from The Epoch Times, as sent to me by Smithson.
"We must prepare ourselves for two scenarios," Chi begins. What are they? (1) China succeeds in the surprise attack on the United States. (2) China's attack fails and triggers a retaliation from the U.S. The result? "More than half of the population of China would perish."
The conclusion? "Whatever the case may be," Chi goes on to say, "we can only move forward fearlessly for the sake of our Party and state and our nation's future, regardless of the hardships we have to face and the sacrifices we have to make. The population, even if more than half dies, can be reproduced. But if the Party falls, everything is gone, and forever gone!"
But Chi looks into the future without fear or hesitation. "In any event," Chi goes on, "we, the Chinese Communist Party, will never step down from the stage of history!"
So? "In my view, there is another kind of bondage, that is, the fate of our Party is tied up with that of the whole world. If we, the Chinese Communist Party, are finished, China will be finished, and the world will be finished."
Chi is actually kind: "It is indeed brutal to kill one or two [or maybe three?] hundred million Americans." You see? "But that is the only path that will secure a Chinese century, a century in which the Chinese Communist Party leads the world."
Chi wouldn't want to kill one, two (or three?) hundred million Americans just for nothing! "We, as revolutionary humanitarians, do not want deaths." There is one "but" though.
"But if history confronts us with a choice between death of Chinese and that of Americans, we'd have to pick the latter, as for us, it is more important to safeguard the lives of the Chinese people and the life of our Party." Why? "That is because, after all, we are Chinese and members of the Chinese Communist Party. Since the day we joined the Chinese Communist Party, the Party's life has always been above all else!"
It is curious that the "Party," possessing China and aiming at possessing the world, no matter what victims, is represented by Chi as an infinitely priceless living being whose "life has always been above all else."
We can now answer that question Jonathan raises in his e-mail to me: "Lev-Why is the West asleep?"
The "Western democracies" have survived owing to the Industrialization, including science and technology producing ever more effective weapons, up to the nuclear bombs in 1945 by the United States and its allies. But in the 20th century it also turned out that Stalin's slave society can also produce no less effective weapons. And in the first decade of the 21st century here is Chi arguing that China should be the first to annihilate the U.S.A. first, to be on the safe side.
In China, all humans, except the owners of the country, are slaves used as producers or users of weapons. Now, in the free countries, defense is a matter of will of most citizens. Defense requires money as well as the people with outstanding military abilities.
Is the West asleep? On the contrary, the West is wide awake, in its daily hunts for money and for the best bargains as well as enjoying life in every other way possible. But even purely financial preparations for war will impose higher taxes, and who wants them of their free will?
In short, the free people of the free countries must do of their own free will what slaves in state slavery countries do out of fear of ruthless vindication, including torture. Is this possible? Or are we living at the end of sociopolitical freedom, and mankind will soon be in global slavery forever and ever and anon?
