No Brains In Washington<\/a><\/h3>\n

Washington\u2019s IQ follows the Fed\u2019s interest rate \u2014 it is negative. Washington is a black hole into which all sanity is sucked out of government deliberations.<\/p>\n

Washington\u2019s failures are everywhere visible. We can see the failures in Washington\u2019s wars and in Washington\u2019s approach to China and Russia.<\/p>\n

The visit of Chinese President Xi Jinping, was scheduled for the week-end following the Pope\u2019s visit to Washington. Was this Washington\u2019s way of demoting China\u2019s status by having its president play second fiddle to the Pope? The President of China is here for week-end news coverage? Why didn\u2019t Obama just tell him to go to hell?<\/p>\n

Washington\u2019s cyber incompetence and inability to maintain cyber security is being blamed on China. The day before Xi Jinping\u2019s arrival in Washington, the White House press secretary warmed up President Jinping\u2019s visit by announcing that Obama might threaten China with financial sanctions.<\/p>\n

And not to miss an opportunity to threaten or insult the President of China, the US Secretary of Commerce fired off a warning that the Obama regime was too unhappy with China\u2019s business practices for the Chinese president to expect a smooth meeting in Washington.<\/p>\n

In contrast, when Obama visited China, the Chinese government treated him with politeness and respect.<\/p>\n

China is America\u2019s largest creditor after the Federal Reserve. If the Chinese government were so inclined, China could cause Washington many serious economic, financial, and military problems. Yet China pursues peace while Washington issues threats.<\/p>\n

Like China, Russia, too, has a foreign policy independent of Washington\u2019s, and it is the independence of their foreign policies that puts China and Russia on the outs with Washington.<\/p>\n

Washington considers countries with independent foreign policies to be threats. Libya, Iraq, and Syria had independent foreign policies. Washington has destroyed two of the three and is working on the third. Iran, Russia, and China have independent foreign policies. Consequently, Washington sees these countries as threats and portrays them to the American people as such.<\/span><\/div>\n
