Made By China: A New World Order
Author: Terrance Thomas
Publisher: Aelin Publishers
ISBN: 9392316119
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 493
Book Description
Is a global conflict involving China inevitable? Terrance Thomas lived in China for nine years. During that time, he experienced the fear of living under an authoritarian regime. Three years of Terrance's time in China were spent in the naval city of Sanya. Terrance saw the Chinese military prepare for a war every day for three years. From aerial operations to arm China's illegally built islands in the South China Sea to the deployments of China's Type 094 ballistic missile submarines, Terrance saw China preparing for a New World Order with his own eyes. Terrance was even present in 2019 for the commission of China's Type 002 aircraft carrier, the Shandong. Terrance recorded much of the activity he saw while in China and interviewed countless people around Asia to comprehensively assess China's intentions for the world. Terrance also has prepared an in-depth analysis of the possible pathways to peace. The author also highlights several disturbing facts about China's increase in its military capabilities and why that is a threat to America and its allies. This book stresses the need to maintain and expand U.S. military strength in Asia while forging closer ties with like-minded allies worldwide. Terrance was not on the outside looking in, he was there, and this book was written from within China.

In a desperate effort to salvage her life, she flees California in search of long-lost New York girlfriends.

So they obsessively tinker with nature and ignore the fundamental rules, a tyranny of small decisions, and this great experiment goes wrong, and these ultimate insiders create a magnificent freak, a true techno glory, and yet a serious affront to nature, a gross mockery of nature law, as well as sick abomination associated with a dystopia, and creature or thing far ahead of everyone, beyond foresight, and before black site powers-that-be realize the full potential and implications, and the device gains control over the creator.

Pages : 367
Book Description
Jon voted for the first time in 2004 at the age of 52 after his father died 7 months before 9/11 in 2001, which in Jon’s opinion would have killed him if he had made it those extra 7 months anyway! What ignited the flame under Jon’s political fired up ass was seeing a Senator from Chicago who was being considered to run for the Presidency being shown rubbing elbows with Reverend 'God Damn America'' Wright and Jon’s generation's 'Weather Underground' Bomber William 'Bill' Ayers who over the years had become a community planner like Barack Obama in Chicago, but the Mainstream Media never informed their viewers of this very important fact about Bill Ayres past, and couldn’t understand how that could have possibly been missed! Bottom line though is that was the exact moment Jon got up off the couch and started his quest to understand and monitor the goings on within today's American politics, and what the impact was on America and the American people then and today when this kind of information is kept from the American People!

Obama and the Emergence of a Multipolar World Order
Author: Chris J Dolan
Publisher: Rowman & Littlefield
ISBN: 1498572944
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 259
Book Description
This book argues that critical international and domestic crises, such as the U.S. war in Iraq and the Great Recession, forced President Barack Obama to readjust U.S. foreign policy after over 70 years of American hegemony and defending the global status quo. It examines the range of external pressures and challenges brought on by an increasingly multipolar international system, shifting domestic political forces, and limited foreign policy choices. The book provides an overview of the extent of foreign policy change and continuity in Obama’s foreign policy toward Europe, Asia and the Pacific, and the Middle East. The book assesses domestic and international pressure points in the wake of the 2003 U.S. invasion of Iraq and the Great Recession that shaped and defined Obama’s foreign policy preferences. The war in Iraq and the Great Recession, in addition to rising economic inequality and hyper-partisanship at home, emerging markets in Asia and the rise of China, and Russian resurgence in Europe and the Middle East, would determine and constrain the extent to which Obama was able to lead U.S. foreign policy and the foreign policymaking process. These ultimately contributed to a more scaled-back and limited U.S. role in the world during Obama’s presidency, culminating in the 2016 presidential election of Donald Trump who promised to turn the U.S. away from globalization and questioned longstanding U.S. alliances. In the end, the theme of “nation-building here at home” under Obama gave way to “America First” under Trump.

National Security in the New World Order
Author: Andrea Monti
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 1000442578
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 129
Book Description
This important new book explores contemporary concerns about the protection of national security. It examines the role, influence, and impact of Big Tech on politics, power, and individual rights. The volume considers the manner in which digital technology and its business models have shaped public policy and charts its future course. In this vital text for legislators and policymakers, Andrea Monti and Raymond Wacks draw on several case studies to analyse the changing nature of national security and revisit the traditional idea of the sovereignty of the State. They highlight some of the limitations of the conventional understanding of public policy, national security, and the rule of law to reveal the role of digital technology as an enabler as well as discriminator in governance and social disorder. Further, the chapters in the book explore the tenuous balance between individual freedom and national security; the key role of data protection in safeguarding digital data; Big Tech’s appropriation of national security policy; the debate relating to datagathering technologies and encryption; and offers an unsettling answer to the question ‘what is a leak?’ A stimulating read, this key text will be of immense interest to scholars of politics, cyberculture, and national security, as well as to policy analysts, lawyers, and journalists.

Moynihan's Moment
Author: Gil Troy
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0199920303
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 368
Book Description
On November 10, 1975, the General Assembly of United Nations passed Resolution 3379, which declared Zionism a form of racism. Afterward, a tall man with long, graying hair, horned-rim glasses, and a bowtie stood to speak. He pronounced his words with the rounded tones of a Harvard academic, but his voice shook with outrage: "The United States rises to declare, before the General Assembly of the United Nations, and before the world, that it does not acknowledge, it will not abide by, it will never acquiesce in this infamous act." This speech made Daniel Patrick Moynihan, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, a celebrity, but as Gil Troy demonstrates in this compelling new book, it also marked the rise of neo-conservatism in American politics--the start of a more confrontational, national-interest-driven foreign policy that turned away from Kissinger's d tente-driven approach to the Soviet Union--which was behind Resolution 3379. Moynihan recognized the resolution for what it was: an attack on Israel and a totalitarian assault against democracy, motivated by anti-Semitism and anti-Americanism. While Washington distanced itself from Moynihan, the public responded enthusiastically: American Jews rallied in support of Israel. Civil rights leaders cheered. The speech cost Moynihan his job--but soon won him a U.S. Senate seat. Troy examines the events leading up to the resolution, vividly recounts Moynihan's speech, and traces its impact in intellectual circles, policy making, international relations, and electoral politics in the ensuing decades. The mid-1970s represent a low-water mark of American self-confidence, as the country, mired in an economic slump, struggled with the legacy of Watergate and the humiliation of Vietnam. Moynihan's Moment captures a turning point, when the rhetoric began to change and a more muscular foreign policy began to find expression, a policy that continues to shape international relations to this day.
