911: Friend of Foe; Chinese a Foe

Core Concern: Advance of the Rules Rapers
There are many parallels between raping the rules of society for the aims of immediate collateral destruction
and the raping of rules of intellectual property for economic destruction.

China has been waging a stealth economic and intellectual proper war against the US.
China's cool premeditation and planning the hanging of US's economic engine by selling US the rope and convincing our
corporate head that it's in it's own best interest. While the body dies.
We ship all of our "real" jobs actually making "real" stuff overseas,
leaving us with the "knowledge economy" that evaporates like a fart in the wind
because "knowledge" only has value if people respect intellectual property laws.
China does not as well as many in our own economy do not.

In China's effort to pull itself up, it is pulling us down.

And who do you think will be the first to take advantage of the situation when we are concentrating on pounding Ossama and Saddam a new one?

I would be willing to bet that CHINA will be visiting Taiwan just about then!

Clue: CHECK A MAP. China borders Afganistan directly, small but real.

I heard in passing that the Chinese leaders expressed sorrow for the bombing. IMO, more crocodile tears.

..."knowledge" only has value if people respect intellectual property laws.

This is obviously false.
"Knowledge is power." (Glad that's not copyrighted!)

Diplomats are always puzzled by the obvious.

[Plummz]

It means that Communists like dead Americans, and plus they get to reverse engineer anything a US soldier drops in Afghanistan.
