MESOPOTAMIA NEWS : WORLD’S MAIN ENEMY = THE COMMUNIST PARTY OF RED CHINA !
Coronavirus: Another 9/11 Moment for the West
by Richard Kemp – a.D. British Army Colonel – GATESTONE INSTITUTE
April 22, 2020
- Commentators and politicians today worry that the current situation might trigger a new cold war with China. They fail to understand that, in a similar but much more far-reaching pattern to the jihadist conflict, China has been fighting a cold war against the West for decades, while we have refused to recognise what is going on…. Like 9/11, Covid-19 must now force the West to wake up and fight back.

Coronavirus: Ein weiterer 9/11-Moment für den Westen
von Richard Kemp Oberst a.D. – 22. April 2020 – British Army – GATESTONE INSTITUT
Kommentatoren und Politiker befürchten heute, dass die gegenwärtige Situation einen neuen Kalten Krieg mit China auslösen könnte. Sie verstehen nicht, dass China in einem ähnlichen, aber viel weitreichenderen Muster wie der Dschihad-Konflikt seit Jahrzehnten einen Kalten Krieg gegen den Westen führt, während wir uns geweigert haben, anzuerkennen, was vor sich geht… Wie 9/11 muss Covid-19 nun den Westen zwingen, aufzuwachen und sich zu wehren.
- Jahrzehntelang hat China an seiner dreigleisigen Strategie gearbeitet: Aufbau seiner Wirtschaft und seiner Kampfkraft, einschließlich Geheimdienst, Technologie, Cyber- und Weltraum sowie rohe militärische Kraft; Entwicklung eines globalen Einflusses zur Ausbeutung von Ressourcen und Sicherung der Kontrolle; Zurückdrängen und Spaltung der USA und ihrer kapitalistischen Verbündeten.

By Staff of Iraq Oil Report – Published Thursday, April 23rd, 2020
BAGHDAD/ERBIL – Iraq’s semi-autonomous Kurdistan region faces new levels of financial uncertainty, as prominent voices in both the federal Cabinet and Parliament advocate for an end to monthly budget transfers.
In an April 1 letter, the general secretariat of the Council of Ministers called on the Finance Ministry to stop making monthly payments of 453 billion Iraqi dinars (about $384 million) to the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) because the KRG has not shared its oil production
with the federal government as outlined in Iraq’s most recent budget law, according to three members of Parliament who saw the letter.

Beijing Is Using New Methods to Spin the Pandemic to Its Advantage
By Laura Rosenberger – April 22, 2020 by FOREIGN AFFAIRS
From the first days of COVID-19’s appearance in the city of Wuhan, China’s leaders focused on control—not only of the coronavirus itself but also of information about it. They suppressed initial reporting and research about the outbreak, thereby slowing efforts to understand the virus and its pandemic potential. They called for “increased internet control” when the Politburo Standing Committee met in early February. They even sent “Internet police” to threaten people posting criticism of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its handling of the virus.
