• Can a Broke America Fight a Cold War With China? by Hal Brands from Bloomberg. 

My commentary: US/Anglo/Zionist Empire media corporations are full of stories that imply a new cold war, even a hot war, and they seem to be having some success. Just the other day I received in a mail a newspaper called The Epoch Times which I think was sent from Chicago. The headline and the front page was devoted to an article "How the Chinese Communist Party Endangered the World". My neighbor received the same newspaper. (That got me wondering about the financial backing for such a mailout.) This together with the increasing bellicose nature of "news" regarding China made me think that the ruling class was preparing for some conflict with China. I don't think that they have a hot war mind--but what? I thought: maybe it has something to do with money. The following links also suggested this: here, here, and here. Maybe the US could default on its huge debt to China and China could promote a global yaun to replace the US dollar.

• What It’s Like to Believe Everything the Media Tells You (MUST WATCH) from Anti-Empire. (Total parody, also see this.)

• Back to work? On OUR terms! by Susan Rosenthal from her weblog. (Note: I thank an activist for alerting me this article.)

I'm running short of time today, and have other obligations to attend to.
