The New Axis -- More on the China Connection

"I have long warned you that the New Axis might start wars in Kosovo and other areas as diversions to pull US forces away from the Persian Gulf. Kosovo's Moslem guerrillas have been receiving weapons smuggled from Moslem Albania, and rumor says some guerrillas were trained in Iran. If Kosovo becomes the next big war, watch the Persian Gulf, and consider buying more oil."

From time to time I give you secrets Washington does not want you to know. Here's another big one.

From 1945 to 1990, the USG (US government) had a "2-war" military strategy, sometimes called a win-win strategy. This meant the USG held the manpower and weapons to fight and win two regional wars at a time. If war broke out in one region, a distant enemy could not use this as an opportunity to start his own war unopposed.

Now, after the cutbacks, the Pentagon's strategy is "1-1/2 war" or win-hold-win. The idea is to defeat one enemy while holding the other in check until enough forces can be released to defeat them.

This win-hold-win strategy has a flaw no one wants to face: the USG has bought itself more than two enemies. Highly diligent in sticking its nose into other people's business, the USG has backed the regimes of Bosnia, Croatia, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Israel, South Korea and Taiwan. It has thereby become the enemy of their enemies - Iraq, Iran, Serbia, Syria, North Korea, Libya, China, Sudan.

None by themselves would be a match for US forces, but all of them together would be formidable, and if you and I know this, they do, too.

The USG's backing of the Kremlin probably means we can add Chechnya to this list, for a total of nine enemies [now eleven; see additional excerpts at end of article] scattered across Chaostan. None by themselves would be a match for US forces, but all of them together would be formidable, and if you and I know this, they do, too.

Unless the nine [now eleven] are a lot more obtuse than I think they are, they must be secretly planning something. Some of them hate each other, but they hate the USG more.

If I'm right that this secret alliance has been formed, we need a name for it. In World War II, the USG's enemies were the Axis, so I'll call this group the New Axis.

Mind you, I'm not saying I'm sure the New Axis has been formed, only that it seems logical - if I were them, this is what I'd be doing.

Few realize their main duty since World War II has been to aid the spread of socialism.

Another secret. One of the first things I learned in the Air Force is that the troops are rarely told the truth about their missions. Few realize their main duty since World War II has been to aid the spread of socialism.

Since 1945, the focus of US foreign policy has been to provide military protection for the USG's allies, and this has enabled these allies to spend less on their own defense and more on welfare handouts. We complain about America's welfare boondoggle, but it is a model of frugality compared to those of most other nations that are protected by the USG. Especially the rich Persian Gulf oil states.

The primary instrument of this socialist policy has been the aircraft carrier. No other nation has anything like a US super-carrier. The most terrifying weapon ever invented, a carrier is a versatile, self-contained mobile air base that can rain devastation almost anywhere on earth. For decades, White House aides have said that each time the USG runs into a foreign policy problem, the first words out of the president's mouth are, "tell me where the carriers are."

Fifty years ago, this socialist strategy was easy. The USG had 105 carriers. It began scrapping them until today it is down to 12, and several of these are always unavailable due to maintenance, training and crew rest.

Present US military strength is far more than adequate to defend our homeland, but I doubt it is 30% of what's needed to prop up all the tyrants US diplomats have pledged to protect.

Each carrier is awesome, but it can only be in one place at a time, and the USG's allies have not strengthened their forces to take up the slack. In fact, many of these socialist regimes have been cutting back their forces, too. The 1990 coalition George Bush assembled in the Mideast is impossible now.

Present US military strength is far more than adequate to defend our homeland, but I doubt it is 30% of what's needed to prop up all the tyrants US diplomats have pledged to protect.

The March [1996] Taiwan crisis looked to me like a test, a New Axis experiment to see how easily Clinton could be suckered into moving the carrier Nimitz away from the Persian Gulf oil fields. If this is what it was, it worked. The Chinese fired their missiles, and like a guard dog abandoning his post to chase a rabbit, the Nimitz headed for Taiwan. At the same time, Iranian-backed rebels were threatening trouble in Bahrain, so the carrier George Washington, which was in the Mediterranean protecting US troops in Bosnia, had to leave its post to make a mad dash to the Persian Gulf.

Apparently the USG does not know its enemies have acquired an amazing device that enables them to coordinate their actions, and this device is faster than a carrier. It's called a telephone.

If I am right that the New Axis exists and that it was testing the USG, we can expect more rabbits until these regimes are confident they can scatter US forces at will.

This danger will become more obvious as the next weeks and months pass.

Apparently the suicide bombers are over-rated -- only 6 of the 19 knew beforehand that they we going to die according to reports yesterday.

Hey bro!

Looks like I may have been on the same wave link with this guy.

Take a look, if you get a chance, at my as yet unlaunched site (hopefully will officially launch this weekend or early next week) for my latest project:

BREATH FO FIRE

It's a series of novels, the first now complete, on the coming third world war. Everything works at the site ... would be interested in your feedback. FRemail me.

Regards.

The thesis is interesting, and while there are those here that can't seem to read between the lines, I still insist that it contains a great deal of truth.

It does have weaknesses, however. The author saw it as a muliti-state axis, on a level with those we knew in WWII. So did EVERYBODY else. That's what we were used to, and what we all expected. And because those alliances were so weak, so unstructured, our own intelligence failed to comprehend that fighting a war with "terrorism" as the primary weapon, the 21st century method of warfare, the nation-states involved DON'T HAVE TO ACTUALLY BE UNITED in the 20th century sense. No one really anticipated that "terrorism" had potentially evolved into an extremely practical method of war against a nation-state like the powerful USA. I think that part is all pretty clear, in retrospect.

All that's needed is a united ideology, and significant numbers of individuals with either money or lives to put up. Hence we have countries like Saudi Arabia, not really united in a New Axis in the 20th century sense, our allies on the political and economic front, but with numbers of very wealthy radicals spreading a poisnonous "faith" through methods not unlike that of the Marxist. In fact it's from the Marxists they learned "Psycho-Politics". This is why it's not at all surprising to see the Chinese moving about in all this, sniffing for a weakness that they can exploit in their "Western Enemy".

So we've seen the first assault, a pretty good effort to economically, psychologically, and even politico-militarily hamstring the United States.

And of course, the author exagerates the notion that the role of the US military has been "promoting socialism" ever since the end of WWII. It's an extension of the Bircher thesis. Still, it's not without logic. Thinking of the carrier as a tool for the expansion of socialism is not unreasonable, if only an unwitting result of providing military support for -- as the author notes -- "welfare systems" that couldn't have afforded to build up on the socialist scheme if we hadn't been providing prop-ups to their military. Whether true or not, it is a logical idea.

Retrospectively, in even greater detail, most people don't realize we fought the Chinese TWICE in the 20th century, but by PROXY. Once to a standstill, and once to what's popularly perceived as a "loss". Both Korea and Viet Nam would not have survived if the Chinese hadn't supplied them with economic, military, and man power.

Down deep, I realize that the reason the US is hated is because we're perceived as the "top dog". And like any dominant animal in the competitive world of nature, being perceived as THE super power carries with it a significant price. Unfortunately, if we faile to be vigilant, the jackals are always there, and today in significant secretive numbers, ready to bring us down. And as we're now learning, with almost rabid fanaticism and dedication.

For these reasons, I thougt this old article had someting to teach us. Even though the author still saw the "axis" in the 20th century sense, he DID comprehend the overall bond these countries share. That bond is the common hatred of the US. And while we were busy with the Clinton administration, these loose psycho-political alliances described by the author as the New Axis HAVE indeed been built up, even if not overtly by the heads of the respective states, but covertly and surriptitiously. The Chinese, after all, was the culture that originated "The Art of War". The rest of us are still trying to shake off our old way of viewing the world, and really comprehend what Tsun Tsu was saying.

[harpseal]

Clearly this loose alliance you have described is what we are facing. I note that while working from hime today Mrs. harpseal called up to me about a Carl cameron story on FOX that the source of intel was refering to cached arms from China. I can not yet back that up from web sites or other sources but that may well be the case.

VERY interesting book, Jeff! A very ambitious undertaking. I'm wondering if you're going to have to manage a 'sequel', re-written to reflect the rapid changes occurring as we speak. Overall, I think I agree with your base premises. But then as I recall from FR, I always have. I did read the excerpt from chapter one just to get a feel. Pretty good style of fiction, and probably well worth reading.

Looks like you understand it as I do. This is NOT about Afghanistan. Or even Bin Laden. It's about the 21st Century, and who's going to ultimately end up top dog, isn't it. I just hope we can overcome the huge fragility we've developed during the socially destructive years where the unwitting dupes on the American left, and the smug, Globalist Elite, undermined so much of our resolve, our alliances, and our capacity.

Personally, I'm deeply unnerved by the situation. We're not being told everything. Neither the Americans or the Chinese want an over war between each other. But another proxy war, one who's first thrust was intended to deal a debilitating blow to the entire American position, is entire possible. A war where no one can point back to the perpetrator states because the warriors are secretive, isolated cells, allied by Religion and ideology, but buttressed by years of propaganda, intelligence gifts, and arms sales from our true enemies. I fear we've stepped into it pretty good, thanks to the eight years of the Clinton presidency. If we survive, I believe history will indict that bastard group, and the soft, dupped, immoral underbelly the left smeared all over this country.
