taipei economic and cultural representative office which anti-war's dave decamp has described as the de facto u.s embassy in taiwan the war game simulates a conflict over taiwan which we are informed is set in the year 2027 in which china launches strikes on the us military in order to open the way to an invasion of the island we are not told why there needs to be a3/11
specific year inserted into mainstream american consciousness about when we can expect such a conflict but then we are also not told why nbc is platforming a war machine think tanks simulation of a military conflict with china at all it happens that the center for a new american security was the home of the man assigned by the biden administration to lead the pentagon task force responsible for4/11
re-evaluating the administration's posture toward china that man eli ratner is on record saying that the trump administration was insufficiently hawkish toward china ratner is now the assistant secretary of defense for indo-pacific security affairs in the biden administration it also happens that the center for a new american security has openly boasted about the great many of its other experts and alumni who have assumed senior leadership positions5/11
within the biden administration it also happens that cena's co-founder michelle flornoy who appeared in the meet the press war game segment and was at one time a heavy favorite to become biden's pentagon chief wrote a foreign affairs op-ed in 2020 arguing that the u.s needed to develop quote the capability to credibly threaten to sink all of china's military vessels submarines and merchant ships in the south6/11
china sea within 72 hours end quote it also happens that cnas ceo richard fontaine has been featured all over the mass media pushing empire narratives about russia and china telling bloomberg just the other day that the war in ukraine could serve the empire's long-term interests against china the war in ukraine could end up being bad for the pivot in the short term but good in the7/11
long term fontaine said if russia emerges from this conflict as a weakened version of itself and germany makes good on its defense spending pledges both trends could allow the us to focus more on the indo-pacific in the long run it also happens that cnas is routinely cited by the mass media as an authoritative source on all things china and russia with no mention ever made of8/11
the conflict of interest arising from their war machine funding just in the last few days here's a recent npr interview about with about nato expansion with cenos senior fellow andrea kendall taylor a washington post quote from cnos fellow jacob stokes about the chinese threat to taiwan a financial times quote from cnas indo-pacific expert lisa curtis who i've previously noted was cited by the mass media for9/11
her expert opposition to the u.s afghanistan withdrawal and a foreign policy citation of the aforementioned richard fontaine saying quote the aim of u.s policy toward china should be to ensure that beijing is either unwilling or unable to overturn the regional and global order end quote as we've discussed previously citing war machine funded think tanks as expert analysis without even disclosing their financial conflict of interest is10/11
plainly journalistic malpractice but it happens all the time in the mass media anyway because the mass media exists to circulate propaganda not journalism this is getting so so crazy that the mass media are now openly teaming up with war machine think tanks to begin ceding the normalization of a hot war with china into the minds of the public indicates that the propaganda campaign to manufacture consent11/11
for the u.s centralized empire's final hail mary grab at unipolar domination is escalating even further the mass scale psychological manipulation is getting more and more overt and more and more shameless this is headed somewhere very very bad hopefully humanity wakes up in time to stop these lunatics from driving us off a precipice from which there is no return
