a book written thousands of years before the war started and which is widely read in the United States today. Why no one understood it as widely read as it was is uncertain. One proposed reason is that as a race we are primitive and ignorant, however wise individuals are. Another is that it is easier for everyone to ignore the 2,000-pound gorilla in the elevator than it is acknowledge that we are riding with it. Do you want to be offended? The goal of war, according to the detailed study by Clausewitz in his masterpiece “On the Nature of War”, is to disarm your enemy so you can bend them to your will. Do we have the manufacturing base to build an army? Do we build our own computers or cell phones? Who builds them? Do we have the money to rebuild our army? Who is our creditor? If you are honest, you will see that we are on our last legs. We have almost no time left, because we lost the war, our enemy has disarmed us without ever firing a shot and all that after giving us the playbook by which it would be done. This colossal failure of leadership is only possible because of the corruption in our government, but this book is about war, not corruption despite the close link between the two. This book when originally written in 2001 explained why we were at war with china. It has since been updated to reflect the current state of affairs. It is ridiculous to consider that we are on equal footing with China but there is a way out of the current crisis since we have not yet made taken the last fatal step. We are moving quickly in that direction, but we have yet to cross that line. With tremendous effort and sacrifice, we can stem the tide and avoid the worst effects of losing a war. However, this book examines the effects of the war if we fail to act because it assumes government is too corrupt and too lazy or preoccupied in its corruption to act. The solution to the problem of government is addressed since it is a simple solution. It involves removing the benefits of congress and limiting terms so that politicians quickly reach a point where they are not beholden to special interest groups and lining their own pockets. Since the solution to that problem is simple compared to the solution to the current war, it is treated only with a cursory reference. You will ask “what my suggestions to stem the tide of failure?” The answer is simple and complicated. You will be able to order at the end of this book guillotine and term and benefit limit constitutional amendment tattoos. Getting rid of the problems that corrupt our government is simple. The other part is nothing more or less than this; we must wage war. Fortunately, as you recognize if you are reading this, war does not involve bloodshed except at its most primitive, inefficient extreme. If our enemy has not yet shown the will to destroy us, to bend us completely to its will, then there is yet an opportunity, but the opportunity is to wage economic war with all of its sacrifices and patriotism and the need to do so is more immediate than this book can express. It must be done “yesterday” in the vernacular. Perhaps by the time you read this it will already be too late. All of the positive outcomes require a supreme effort of leadership, sacrifice and intelligence, both long-term intelligence and short term intelligence. Our war includes organizing the inevitable decline of the dollar using the 1970's as a model of how that type of devaluation has occurred in the past and how that type of devaluation can help in the present situation. Long term intelligence means looking past the present to where we want to be in some better future and short term intelligence means getting past our prejudices of the moment to get there. You need only look at our political process and the special interest groups that control it to see a failure in short term intelligence. You need only look to how badly our planet is overpopulated and how poorly resources allocated to see a failure in long-term intelligence. One premise of this book is that the elements necessary to achieve this level of leadership has been taken, but this is an act which is defined by revolution to get the attention of the leadership and a form of organized French Revolution is the pattern taken. While the primary theme of the book deals with why we lost the war with China, since we have not surrendered yet, it spends a great deal of time looking at the future and what we should consider in making a lasting peace. Within this book, you will find the modus operandi. Some of you have read books on the interconnectivity of nations and you may find no reason for the war. You will incorrectly assume that there is no benefit to the enemy. There is a reason and it is insidious, but it is, after all, just a reason. It is consistent with the long view of the Chinese. This long view is not inherently evil. That it visits evil on a civilization corrupted by its politics is no worse than any necessary purge. It may be viewed no more unkindly than the Union’s insistence that the horrible scourge of slavery in the South be ended. Many had to die and a mindset had to change, but considering the harm that was done daily, the immorality of Slavery and the beneficent aims of the Civil War, it cannot be considered an unjust war or even an unwarranted war. Similarly while as the defeated, we might look at the Chinese war as unconscionable, if we look to the end and the reason for the end, we find that in the grand scheme of things it is far sighted and benevolent, relatively speaking. The kindness of the manner of waging of the current war does not soften the blow, however, and it is a war that we have already lost. The remainder of this book is fiction.
