Referencing Ulrich Teusch's book, "The War Before the War," Phil takes us on a journey about how we are being lied into another war, this time with the 1.4 billion people of the People's Republic of China. As is so common today, there is no discussion among our "elected representatives." Canada simply follows U.S. policy.
The self-appointed "exceptional nation," the U.S., finds that it can no longer compete with Chinese business, and therefore seeks to suppress a sovereign country. America is ramping up its trade war, and broadcasts an avalanche of poorly-substantiated propaganda about China's Western region that does not hold up to scrutiny. Make no mistake: this is "pre-war propaganda."
Trump is back to calling COVID the "China Virus," which endangers the lives of Asian citizens in the Anglo countries. We're asked to be suspicious of Chinese students, diplomats, and businesses. This is a political virus. It is contingent on you as a citizen to find out what China's government is saying. They don't believe in a hegemonic power. They believe in the United Nations and international trade. We need to avoid the U.S.'s "zero-sum game."
If there is to be a peace movement in Canada, it must go directly to the decision of the U.S. and Five Eyes allies to create a problem that is outside the sphere of the United Nations Security Council - to act as if they have a privileged space as white Anglo-Saxon countries to make rules for themselves, and to create political havoc.
As Danny Haiphong and others have noted, we have a phenomenon where people who think that they are anti-war try to find a "middle way" between what America and what China are saying. But the U.S. is looking for trouble, and says it is looking for trouble, with the great nation of China. That is problem #1, and comes before what somebody is saying about 'human rights issues.' We are facing pre-war propaganda, and we have to confront it and defeat it.
