3.5  The New Dialectic

Developing a new global dialectic

The Necessity For a New Dialectic Process

World War II was the culmination of the dialectic process created in the 1920s and 1930s. The clash between "left" and "right", i.e. the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany, led to creation of a synthesis -- notably the United Nations, and a start towards regional groupings in the [European] Common Market, COMECON, NATO, UNESCO, Warsaw Pact, SEATO, CENTO, and then the Trilateral Commission. A start towards [the] New World Order.

World War II left The Order with the necessity to create a new dialectical situation to promote more conflict to achieve a higher level synthesis... The principal devices used to control the dialectic process in the past two decades have been (a) information, (b) debt, and (c) technology. These have become diluted over time; they just don't work as well today as they did in the 1950s. (see note [E1])

By and large, the control of information has been successful. The intellectual world is still locked into a phony verbal battle between "left" and "right", whereas the real struggle is the battle between individual freedom and the encroaching power of the absolute State... In the West, the choice is basically between a controlled "left-oriented" information and a controlled "right-oriented" information... Unwelcome facts that fall into neither camp are conveniently forgotten.

The second control mechanism is debt. If Marxist countries have to import technology, they need to earn or borrow Western currencies to pay for it. Loans have to be repaid, so to some extent, debtors are under control of creditors, unless they default.

The third control mechanism is technology. If technology to advance to more efficient production levels has to be imported, then the recipient is always kept away from the "state of the art".

The dialectic plan therefore misfired for several reasons.

Firstly, the information blackout has not been as successful as The Order expected...

Secondly, the debt weapon was over-used. Communist countries are now saturated with debt to Western bankers.

Thirdly, while technology is still a useful weapon, there are distinct stirrings among independent analysts of the danger posed for the Western world by building enemies.

Consequently, in today's world we can identify two facts in construction of a new dialectic. First, cautious reinforcement of the Marxian arm... Second, the construction of a completely new arm, that of Communist China, itself Marxist but with conflict potential for the Soviet Union. Major efforts by The Order are in progress, only partly revealed in the press, to create a new superpower in a conflict mode with the Soviet Union. This is the new antithesis, replacing Nazi Germany. (see note [E2])

The Order Builds a New Dialectic Arm in China

Just as we found the Bush family involved with the early development of the Soviet Union, then with financing the Nazis...so we find a Bush active in construction of the new dialectic arm: Communist China.

In 1971 Richard Nixon appointed George "Poppy" Bush (1948) as U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, irrespective of the fact that Bush had no previous experience in diplomacy. As chief U.S. delegate, Bush had responsibility for defense against the Communist Chinese attack on the Republic of China [Taiwan], an original free enterprise member of the United Nations... Bush failed miserably: the Republic was expelled from the United Nations and Communist China took its seat.

During World War II the United States helped the Chinese communists into power. As one Chinese authority, Chin-tung Liang, has written about General Joseph W. Stilwell, the key U.S. representative in China from 1942 to 1944: "From the viewpoint of the struggle against Communism...[Stillwell] did a great disservice to China."

Yet Stilwell only reflected orders from Washington, from General George C. Marshall. And as Admiral Cooke stated to Congress: "...in 1946 General Marshall used the tactics of stoppage of ammunition to invisibly disarm the Chinese forces."

But when we get to General Marshall we need to remember that in the U.S. the civilian branch has final authority in military matters, and that gets us to then Secretary of War Henry L. Stimson, Marshall's superior and a member of The Order (1888). By an amazing coincidence, Stimson was also Secretary of War in 1911 -- at the time of the Sun Yat Sen revolution.

The story of the betrayal of China and the role of The Order will have to await yet another volume. At this time we want only to record the decision to build Communist China as a new arm of the dialectic -- a decision made under President Richard Nixon and placed into operation by Henry Kissinger (Chase Manhattan Bank) and George "Poppy" Bush (The Order).

As we go to press (early 1984) Bechtel Corporation has established a new company, Bechtel China, Inc. to handle development, engineering and construction contracts for the Chinese government... It appears that Bechtel is now to play a similar role to that of Detroit-based Albert Kahn Inc., the firm that in 1928 undertook initial studies and planning for the First Five Year Plan in the Soviet Union.

By about the year 2000, Communist China will be a "superpower" built by American technology and skill. It is presumably the intention of The Order to place this power in a conflict mode with the Soviet Union.

There is no doubt Bechtel will do its job. Former CIA director Richard Helms works for Bechtel, so did Secretary of State George Shultz and Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger...

Yet, The Order has probably again miscalculated. What will be Moscow's reaction to this dialectic challenge?... And who is to say that the Chinese Communists will not make their peace with Moscow after 2000 and join forces to eliminate the super-super-power -- the United States? (see note [E3])
