Thinking the unthinkable: China's future colonization of the USA

---

See the Lev Navrozov Archive By Lev Navrozov SPECIAL TO WORLD TRIBUNE.COM Lev Navrozov emigrated from the Soviet Union in 1972 He settled in New York City where he quickly learned that there was no market for his eloquent and powerful English language attacks on the Soviet Union. To this day, he writes without fear or favor or the conventions of polite society. He chaired the "Alternative to the New York Times Committee" in 1980, challenged the editors of the New York Times to a debate (which they declined) and became a columnist for the New York City Tribune. His columns are today read in both English and Russian. .

Before launching the website www.worldthreats.com, Ryan Mauro had been a geopolitical analyst for a maritime security company called Tactical Defense Concepts. I have decided to publish his interview with me in my column because it Òstarts from scratch,Ó a useful approach, since in the last eight years or so, the media created an honest-to-goodness vacuum on the subject.

Lev Navrozov Interviewed by Ryan Mauro (PhilNDeBlank9@aol.com) for www.worldthreats.com

I am thankful to Lev Navrozov, an expert in post-nuclear superweapons, as he calls them, for granting this interview.

RM:ÊÊMr. Navrozov, your Ònano weapons columnsÓ on Newsmax.com and WorldTribune.com are intriguing. What is nanotechnology and how can it neutralize the U.S. means of nuclear retaliation?

LN:ÊÊÊThe word ÒnanoÓ means Òone billionth.Ó Nanotechnology is a field of many fields, some of them civilian, dealing with such small systems. What is of interest to us is tiny systems (they are called ÒassemblersÓ) of molecular nanotechnology. Such assemblers can penetrate molecules and transform or destroy them.

The world peace has been based on Mutual Assured Destruction. That is, every nuclear power such as the United States, Russia, or China has had means of nuclear retaliation, which an enemy nuclear attack cannot destroy. Thus, nuclear weapons can destroy New York, Moscow, or Beijing, but they cannot destroy submarines deep underwater, carrying nuclear missiles, underground nuclear installations, or bombers on duty high in the air carrying nuclear bombs. Nano assemblers are expected to be able to find these means of retaliation and destroy them by penetrating in between their atoms. Thus an attacked country can be destroyed safely by nuclear weapons because it has no means of nuclear retaliation to retaliate after the enemy nuclear attack and destroy the attacker by way of Mutual Assured Destruction.

RM:ÊÊÊIf nanotechnology is to be used as weapon, how does it work?

LN:ÊÊÊLet me recall the description a nanotechnologist has e-mailed. A molecular assembler I spoke about is a device capable of breaking and creating the chemical bonds between atoms and molecules. Since a molecular assembler is by definition able to self-replace, the first could build a duplicate copy of itself. Those two then become four, become eight, and so on. This compounding capital base could lead to a massive and decisive force within days. As Eric Drexler described it in his bookÑwhich he published in 1986!ÑÒa state that makes the assembler breakthrough could rapidly create a decisive military force--if not literally overnight, then at least with unprecedented speed.Ó

Such a device is capable of rapidly manufacturing and deploying billions of microscopic/macroscopic machines at relatively little cost. These machines could comb the oceans for enemy submarines and quickly disable the nuclear arsenals they carry. Similar acts of sabotage could be carried out simultaneously against land-based nuclear facilities and conventional military forces in a matter of hours, if not minutes.

The race to build a molecular assembler, if won by China, will result in its worldwide nanotechnic dictatorship. We are certainly at a crucial juncture in history, not unlike 1938 and its nuclear scientists who foretold the atom bomb. This time, we cannot afford to be caught sleeping.

RM:ÊÊÊWhat countries are developing the post-nuclear superweapons involving nanotechnology?

LN:ÊÊÊIt is worthwhile to speak only of China, Russia if dictatorship comes back to that country, and the United States if it awakens from its sleep, which may well be its last. To make the nanoweapons useful, a country must have the ability and the will to either world domination or to the defense against another country's world domination.

RM:ÊÊÊWhat do you believe are the motives and goals of the countries that are developing the post-nuclear superweapons?

LN:ÊÊÊThe national student movement of 1989, associated with Tiananmen Square, endangered the Chinese dictatorship more than any group in Soviet Russia endangered the Soviet dictatorship two years later. Yet the Soviet dictatorship fell. What a lesson for the Chinese dictators! We know authentic information about the Tiananmen Square movement from Zhang Liang's publication ÒThe Tiananmen Papers,Ó a 514-page collection of Chinese government documents. It is clear that the dictators of China saw how absolutism was endangered in China and understood that the only way to prevent future Tiananmens was to annihilate or subjugate the source of subversion, viz,.the West.

RM:ÊÊÊWhat do you believe are going to be China's next steps in terms of acquiring territory?

LN:ÊÊÊIn contrast to Hitler, who stupidly grabbed the rump of Czechoslovakia in 1939, China has been very cautious in its territorial claims, since the position of China now is the best for the development of ÒSuperweapon No. 3,Ó such as the nano superweapon.

RM:ÊÊÊWho does China see as allies and enemies?

LN:ÊÊÊThe worst enemy is the democratic West, whose very existence produces Tiananmens able to destroy the Chinese dictatorship. The best ally is the democratic West, supplying China with everything necessary for the annihilation or subjugation of the democratic West.

RM:ÊÊÊAre the other post-nuclear weapons being researched to this day? If so, are they known? If not, can you enlighten us?

LN:ÊÊÊSince the nano ÒSuperweapon No. 3Ó is a hypothesis, and not an absolute certainty, the Chinese Project 863 has been engaged in genetic engineering and at least six or seven other fields.

RM:ÊÊÊIf China has or is close to, molecular nanotechnology to be used in war, what is the purpose of having a large, advanced conventional army and ÒtraditionalÓ nuclear weapons?

LN:ÊÊÊEric Drexler, the Newton of nanotechnology, alive and enriching us with his wisdom, discusses the problem in his historic book of 1986 ÒEngines of Creation.Ó My assistant Isak Baldwin says that, according to Drexler, ÒA nation armed with molecular nanotechnology-based weapons would not require nuclear weapons to annihilate a civilization. In fact, it seems that a rather surgical system of seeking and destroying enemy human beings as cancerous polyps could be developed--leaving the nation's infrastructure intact to be repopulated.Ó

Nevertheless conventional weapons might be useful even on the ÒD-day,Ó after nanotechnology has been successfully weaponized. Conventional non-nuclear weapons have been useful even after 1945. Please recall that two Òatom bombsÓ were delivered in 1945 by conventional U.S. bombers with conventional machine guns and all.

RM:ÊÊÊWhat beliefs or desires are motivating the rulers of China? The belief that Communism must triumph over Capitalism?

LN:ÊÊÊA New York taxi robber risks his life, life imprisonment, or death sentence to acquire the taxi driver's $200. Hence the bullet-proof partitions in taxis. The dictators of China defend not $200, but their power, which is worth trillions of dollars, apart from what cannot be expressed in terms of money (royal grandeur, cult, and glorification). Remember the French king who said, ÒThe stateÑit is meÓ? Many dictators have been saying and can always say: ÒCommunism/ capitalism/democracy/freedom/socialism/national socialism/our great country/the meaning of life/the goal of history/--it is me.Ó

RM:ÊÊÊIf the U.S. is the most technologically advanced country, does this mean we have been surpassed?

LN:ÊÊÊThe Òmost technologically advanced countryÓ is an ambiguous generality. In the 1950s, Russia was still a technologically backward country, with most of its population deprived of running water, to say nothing of passenger cars. Yet it did not prevent Russia from outstripping the United States in space rocketry, when the Soviet space satellite was launched before its American counterpart. In its annual ÒSoviet Military Power,Ó to which I subscribed, the Pentagon could not help praising certain Soviet weapons as second to none in the world.

RM:ÊÊÊWhat today is holding China back from becoming overtly aggressive and reshaping the geopolitical world?

LN:ÊÊÊ The dictators of China are not insane! China's government-controlled Òcapitalist corporationsÓ have been penetrating the entrails of the Western economies, absorbing the latest science and technology -- or sometimes entire Western corporations, induced to operate in China on cheap local labor. To become Òovertly aggressiveÓ? What for? To invade Taiwan? To perish, along with the West, in Mutually Assured Destruction? No, the dictators of China are not insane! They are developing superweapons able to annihilate the Western means of nuclear retaliation.

RM:ÊÊÊWhat are your suggestions for defending the U.S.? What steps must be taken?

LN:ÊÊÊIt is necessary for the U.S. political establishment to understand what is going on. Then the right steps will be taken. This is not a recipe that one person or one group can offer. This must be a national effort.

In 1978, to enlighten the West, I convinced nineteen outstanding Westerners to join the Advisory Board of the Center for the Survival of Western Democracies under my presidency. The irony is that when we concentrated on Soviet Russia, before 1991, we had all the grants we needed. But in the last eight years or so, China was the American holy cow, and we have had no funds to carry on our research of China and the enlightenment of the West.

RM:ÊÊÊHow much progress have you made in alerting the government and intelligence apparatus about the Chinese threat?

LN:ÊÊÊSince our Center for the Survival of Western Democracies began to regard China, and not Russia, as the key geostrategic player, the donations to our organization stopped. My assistants work without pay or with a token pay. We need a top-level publicist at $10,000 for four months, Chinese translators at $100 a week, etc. Quite unlike a conjectural $200 billion on the war in Iraq, where WMDs are still being hidden (presumably under Hussein's bed, which is also being hidden) and a conjectural $600 billion for the reconstruction of Iraq (well, once it has been destroyed by the Coalition bombs, missiles, and shells, it is to be reconstructed).

RM:ÊÊÊWhat do you predict will occur in the future?

LN:ÊÊÊFor the time being, the prediction is not difficult: unless the situation changes, the West will be annihilated or will become a Chinese colony with all the consequences arising therefrom.
