Camille Paglia, the liberal-conservative lesbian who adores men, observed recently that nations must never neglect their basic strengths and survival skills. As she put it, “The earth is littered with the ruins of empires that believed they were eternal.” Perhaps she was thinking of the United States; this is, after all, a time when the gap between our towering international presumption is being undermined by our crumbling domestic reality.
The same Paglia-esque thoughts of political mortality came into Hamilton’s mind when he read the news about the near collision, on December 5, of a US Navy ship and a Chinese Navy ship.
Hamilton is reminded that plenty of American conflicts--including the War of 1812, the Spanish-American War, World War One, World War Two, and Vietnam--started with naval incidents.
So suppose we did end up in a war with China--maybe not today, but in five or 10 years. Who would win? Let’s remember, this hypothetical war wouldn’t necessarily be anything like what we have seen before; it could be waged with little more than cyber-hacking, satellite-blinding,and a few long-range missiles--which could be enough to establish military dominance.
In the meantime, we can see plenty of signs that our ability to prevail is ebbing. In 2010, for example, the website ZDNet reported that 80 percent of the world’s communications have a Chinese “back door”--and that China is working on accessing the remaining 20 percent. In other words, America could pass a law preventing the US National Security Agency from snooping on us, but we would still not be able to stop the Chinese from snooping on us.
The conservative pundit David Goldman, also known as “Spengler,” argued recently that the most under-covered story of 2013 was China’s strategic rise:
China just made the first soft landing on the moon in four decades....

it’s not high tech that will save our skin. it is a friend in high places. if we have not turned our back on him that is.
Pei-Ping.
With the meteoric rise of Christianity underground in China, He just might save them. But with the declining, backsliding state of American culture which in one month has made the jump from sodomic marriage to polygamy, I fear the worst is yet to come. Let’s just hope it falls on the libtards first.
Looks like former is paving the way towards the latter.
But China doesn’t own valuable property in Iraq and Afghanistan like we do.
And look at the booty we got in Libya too.
Clearly *we* spend our money and lives wisely.
The Romans didn’t know their civilization was a terminal case for at least a hundred years.
This article is BS.
What’s important is universal gay marriage and the end of don’t ask-don’t tell in our military.
We still have to destroy white male privilege, income inequality, and an end to the rape culture against wymyn.
Sarcasm off.
We need leadership and all we got is affirmative action.
People don’t even know the Chinese just snapped up all the Gold in London recently.They want all debts to be paid in gold while Americans know zip about it.These people aren’t playing games and they have the power to end paper fiat currency in the near future.
The problem is that most of the world, and virtually all of the leaders, have indeed turned their back on him.
Nevertheless...
Psalm 2
Why do the nations conspire
and the peoples plot in vain?
The kings of the earth rise up
and the rulers band together
against the Lord and against his anointed, saying,
“Let us break their chains
and throw off their shackles.”
The One enthroned in heaven laughs;
the Lord scoffs at them.
He rebukes them in his anger
and terrifies them in his wrath, saying,
“I have installed my king
on Zion, my holy mountain.”
I will proclaim the Lord’s decree:
He said to me, “You are my son;
today I have become your father.
Ask me,
and I will make the nations your inheritance,
the ends of the earth your possession.
You will break them with a rod of iron;
you will dash them to pieces like pottery.”
Therefore, you kings, be wise;
be warned, you rulers of the earth.
Serve the Lord with fear
and celebrate his rule with trembling.
Kiss his son, or he will be angry
and your way will lead to your destruction,
for his wrath can flare up in a moment.
Blessed are all who take refuge in him.
Wonderful is Gods word.
With China you know up front what you’ll get.
With Obama, you know you’ll get it in the back.
Where is the gold going?
I see Civil War in this country before I see waring with China.
No, I don't claim to be a prophet.
America is in a civil war already it’s just not reported.
Psalm 9:17 The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.
I’ve long wondered why the Bible never mentions the United States. The answer, I think, is that by the end times America will have been rendered irrelevant. IOW, not worth mentioning!
I’ve heard that Scripture does speak of an eagle and it’s supposedly a metaphor for the U.S., but I don’t know.
Where are the gold mines located?
i am certain in every declining one there is a segment or two that do know it.
