Japan warns of Chinese military rise


Hmmm.  What’s the order here?  If I were writing the history book it might read something like this:
  1. Japan screws up and preemptively strikes the USA during WW2 at Pearl Harbor.
  2. Japan gets double nuclear smack down courtesy of Fatman and Littleboy.
  3. Japan surrenders to USA.
  4. USA behaves like victorious Romans of old, collecting the spoils of war capturing women and children as slaves, putting all the men to death and burning their villages is one of the first nations in human history to realize that all future value comes from human labor, that slaves have always been the best way to achieve cheap labor, and that dead slaves are of little use.  America also perfects the notion that the best slave is one who thinks he is free.
  5. USA installs puppet government in Japan and then promises to protect it.  As a result, military bases go up in Japan and never leave forgives Japan and allows Japanese people to go about their way to develop themselves and their culture without any interference or strings attached. 
  6. In 1950 the USA sends Demming to Japan.  He goes to impose upon them discipline in manufacturing that we ourselves lacked in many cases.  Demming’s job was to ensure that our war slaves served us efficiently.  Japan goes to work building cheap goods for US consumers. to help them better themselves out of the goodness of his heart and as an expression of his close kinship to the Japanese people.
  7. Over the next 20-30 years, Japan becomes extremely efficient and productive at manufacturing causing the USA to become fearful about the Frankenmanufacturer that we created.  Steps are taken to crash the Japanese economy and to keep it down for more than 2 decades running but not before GM is dealt a death blow.  The slave uprising is thwarted but Japan’s utility as slave labor is diminished going forward.
  8. After many years of America vilifying Chinese simply because they have a different political orientation than we do, Nixon turns to China as a new source of slave labor for USA consumers.  At the time, China is a serious backwater that has cheap labor but nearly nothing else to speak of.  The people are poor and uneducated and the leaders are corrupt making the Chinese easy to exploit.  A few Chinese at the very top become wealthy but most of the people continue to live hand to mouth to this very day embracing them in the selfless spirit of human kinship and love that has always characterized American politicians.
  9. China eventually grows up in many ways, takes out Japan as the #2 economy of the world and then starts to thumb its nose at USA leadership.  Repeated “suggestions” over a period of several years that China is manipulating its currency to the detriment of the US economy fall on the deaf ears of Chinese leadership who are quietly but rapidly building up internal infrastructure, a massive military strike capability, and a big gold reserve.
  10. Opting for an indirect initial confrontation, the USA orders Slave Japan to pick a fight with Slave China.  In reality it is just a political shot across China’s bow by the USAChina knows full well that the US military is finishing its baseless war in the middle east and has some spare time on its hands.  Slave Japan agrees to participate because China has been pushing its newfound economic and political strength in the region for the past few years and also because it knows that the USA is still required to defend Japan should a pissing match turn into a shoving match or a fist fight.  Japan and Chinese boats meet in disputed waters literally in the middle of nowhere. The Japanese captain, who is rumored to be a military officer on a supposedly civilian fishing boat, actually rams the Chinese patrol boats thus conveniently creating an international incident at the same time that US moneymen are publicly vilifying Chinese monetary policy and US congress is legislatively enabling Obama to start a trade war with China.
  11. Japan’s Prime Minister goes public with fears that Chinese are amassing a scary military capability.  Intelligent people are wondering how a small, non lethal boating incident in the middle of nowhere can possibly have turned into such big stink.  At the same time, supposedly random people off the Japanese streets surround a bus load of Chinese tourists and begin to kick the bus and shout insults.  The bus must have had a big sign on it that read “evil Chinese civilians inside” when it drove into a section of town where there were a bunch of unemployed Japanese people just milling about with nothing better to do.  The USA knows that if tensions get too high that capital flight will occur from China and their pumped up economy will crash potentially to the point of destabilizing its disobedient government.  

Wondering how many more convenient coincidences will happen this year...
