How the American Neoconservatives Destroyed Mankind’s Hopes for Peace

When
Ronald Reagan turned his back on the neoconservatives, fired them, and
had some of them prosecuted, his administration was free of their evil
influence, and President Reagan negotiated the end of the Cold War with
Soviet President Gorbachev.
The
military/security complex, the CIA, and the neocons were very much
against ending the Cold War as their budgets, power, and ideology were
threatened by the prospect of peace between the two nuclear superpowers.
I know about this, because I was part of it. I helped Reagan create
the economic base for bringing the threat of a new arms race to a
failing Soviet economy in order to pressure the Soviets into agreement
to end the Cold War, and I was appointed to a secret presidential
committee with subpeona power over the CIA. The secret committee was
authorized by President Reagan to evaluate the CIA's claim that the
Soviets would prevail in an arms race. The secret committee concluded
that this was the CIA's way of perpetuting the Cold War and the CIA's importance.
Thus was mankind's chance for peace lost along with America's leadership of the world. Under neocon influence, the United States government threw away its soft power and its ability to lead the world into a harmonious existance over which American influence would have prevailed.
Instead the neocons threatened the world with coercion and violence, attacking eight countries and fomenting "color revolutions" in former Soviet republics. The consequence of this crazed insanity was to create an economic and military strategic alliance between Russia and China. Without the neocons' arrogant policy, this alliance would not exist. It was a decade ago that I began writing about the strategic alliance between Russia and China that is a response to the neocon claim of US world hegemony.
The strategic alliance between Russia and China is militarily and economically too strong for Washington. China controls the production of the products of many of America's leading corporations, such as Apple. China has the largest foreign exchange reserves in the world. China can, if the government wishes, cause a massive increase in the American money supply by dumping its trillions of dollars of US financial assets.
To prevent a collapse of US Treasury prices, the Federal Reserve would have to create trillions of new dollars in order to purchase the dumped financial instruments. The rest of the world would see another expansion of dollars without an expansion of real US output and become skepical of the US dollar. If the world abandoned the US dollar, the US government could no longer pay its bills.
Europe is dependent on Russian energy. Russia can cut off this energy. There are no alternatives in the short-run, and perhaps not in the long run. If Russia shuts off the energy, Germany industry shuts down. Europeans freeze to death in the winter. Despite these facts, the neocons have forced Europe to impose economic sanctions on Russia.
Thanks to the greed of US corporations that boosted their profits by offshoring their production to China, China is moderinized many decades before the neocons thought possible. China's military forces are moderized with Russian weapons technology. New Chinese missiles make the vaunted US Navy and its aircraft carriers obsolete. The neocons boast how they have surrounded Russia, but it is America that is surrounded by Russia and China, thanks to the incompetent leadership that the US has had beginning with the Clintons. Judging from Killary's support in the current presidential primaries, many voters seem determined to perpetuate incompetent leadership.
Last August a joint Russian-Chinese sea and air exercise took place in the Sea of Japan, making it clear to America's Japanese vassal that it was defenceless if Russia and China so decided.
The Russian defense minister Sergey Shoigu said that the joint exercise illustrates the partnership between the two powers and its stabilizing effect on that part of the world.
This boils down to extraordinary failure. It is time to hold the neoconservatives accountable, not elect another puppet for them to manipulate.

The George H. W. Bush administration and its
Secretary of State James Baker kept Reagan's promises to Gorbachev and
achieved the reunification of Germany with promises that NATO would not
move one inch to the East.
The corrupt Clintons, for whom the accumulation of riches seems to be
their main purpose in life, violated the assurances given by the United
States that had ended the Cold War. The two puppet presidents-George W.
Bush and Obama-who followed the Clintons lost control of the US
government to the neocons, who promptly restarted the Cold War,
believing in their hubris and arrogance that History has chosen the US
to exercise hegemony over the world.Thus was mankind's chance for peace lost along with America's leadership of the world. Under neocon influence, the United States government threw away its soft power and its ability to lead the world into a harmonious existance over which American influence would have prevailed.

What if Russia responded in kind?
NATO, as US military authorities admit, has no chance of invading
Russia or withstanding a Russian attack on NATO. NATO is a cover
for Washington's war crimes. It can provide no other service.Thanks to the greed of US corporations that boosted their profits by offshoring their production to China, China is moderinized many decades before the neocons thought possible. China's military forces are moderized with Russian weapons technology. New Chinese missiles make the vaunted US Navy and its aircraft carriers obsolete.

Judging from Killary's support in the current presidential primaries, many voters seem determined to perpetuate incompetent leadership.
Despite being surrounded, the neocons are
pressing for war with Russia which means also with China. If Killary
Clinton makes it to the White House, we could get the neocon's war.
The neocons have flocked to the support
of Killary. She is their person. Watch the feminized women of America
put Killary in office. Keep in mind that Congress gave its power
to start wars to the president.
The
United States does not have a highly intelligent or well informed
population. The US owes its 20th century dominance to World War I and
World War II which destroyed more capable countries and peoples. America
became a superpower because of the self-destruction of other countries.
Despite neocon denials that their hubris has created a powerful
alliance against the US, a professor at the US Navy War College stresses
the reality of the Russian-Chinese strategic alliance#mce_temp_url#.
Last August a joint Russian-Chinese sea and air exercise took place in the Sea of Japan, making it clear to America's Japanese vassal that it was defenceless if Russia and China so decided.
The Russian defense minister Sergey Shoigu said that the joint exercise illustrates the partnership between the two powers and its stabilizing effect on that part of the world.
Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said that Russian-Chinese relations are able to resist any international crises.
The only achievements of the American neoconservatives are to destroy
in war crimes millions of peoples in eight countries and to send the
remnant populations fleeing into Europe as refugees, thus undermining
the American puppet governments there, and to set back the chances
of world peace and American leadership by creating a powerful strategic
alliance between Russia and China.This boils down to extraordinary failure. It is time to hold the neoconservatives accountable, not elect another puppet for them to manipulate.
