On the insight of China's rise? I don't know any particular source for this. Briefly, China, when ruled by the Hans, was largely isolationist. Even when they explored the known world with Zheng He's fleets, they were diplomatic and merely traded. No colonies. Today, you see the same diplomacy at work - with only limited military engagement when absolutely necessary. Their peaceful relations in the African and Latin regions support this -- regardless of what the US statement department claims. This is the nature of China. It is a trading nation. Relative to other great powers, it has been only infrequently expansionist. During its most expansive times, it was ruled by non-Hans. The idea that today's China wants to "take over the world" is the Western mindset/experience projecting itself onto China. They reason, "We colonized the entire planet when we were strong. So, of course China will do the same to us.". That fear is only part of the problem. The second problem is that America and some Western allies have never given up global conquest. From that perspective, China is a "threat" -- not to world peace, but to their ambitions.

There was also a free book that summarized the main points under a similar title] Tragedy and Hope 101 I think?
Geopolitics isn't a tinfoil hat doctrine. It's studied at universities and people like Henry Kissinger write nonfiction books about it. If you'd like a primer, try Tragedy & Hope: A History of the World in Our Time by Carroll Quigley. Bill Clinton had Quigley as a professor and called him the biggest influence in his life.
Why's it so unbelievable?
> Well you are entitled to your opinion.
Lol, thank you.
It's not really "an opinion" as "facts aren't opinions."
That you don't yet understand these issues doesn't change the facts.🤷♂️
> It makes very little sense to me.
I understand and that's ok. These are complex issues and hard to grasp until you are able to look at history "as it is" rather than "what you have been taught or would like it to be".
May I suggest that you read Caroll Quigley's excellent book:
Tragedy And Hope: A History Of The World In Our Time
https://www.amazon.com/Tragedy-Hope-History-World-Time/dp/094500110X/
It's more than 1200 pages long and not an easy read, but it will help you understand how it all works and who controls the world and what their plans are.
Bill Clinton called it:
"The most influential and important book he has ever read."
This book is very much part of "the education" that anyone who wants to be part of the new world order must read. It tells the truth...
Good luck to you.🙂

The historian Carroll Quigley did better than that. He was granted admission to a cabal of bankers and political figures who worked together outside of party and country to further their aims. They had various incarnations - think of a cell structure rather than a monolithic faction. But again, this was the side of things he was allowed access to, and it was understood this was only the tip of the pyramid.

SS: A number of authors, both esteemed academics, like Professor Carrol Quigley, and cranks, have argued that the owners of the franchise are not some amorphous collection of businessmen acting independently at a particular point in time because of similar or naturally aligned economic interests. Rather, some of the esteemed and the less than esteemed, authors have argued that those businessmen actively collude and conspire in secret. They have done so through organizations such as the Milner Group, Rhodes Roundtable, the Council on Foreign Relations, Skull & Bones and other secret societies.
As Quigley and others have pointed out, the World War I era provided a springboard for the owners of the franchise. We would argue that the out-sized profits earned during the World War I era for a leap in control of important industries, politicians and underlying government bureaucracies, and the non-business/non-government institutions.
Was Woodrow Wilson a Victim of Kompromat?
Bank of International Settlements
Their stated purpose is to “promote the cooperation of central banks and to provide additional facilities for international financial operations.”
and is owned by
Federal Reserve, Bank of England, Bank of Italy, Bank of Canada, Swiss National Bank, Nederlandsche Bank, Bundesbank and Bank of France.
BIS holds at least 10% of monetary reserves for at least 80 of the world’s central banks, the IMF and other multilateral institutions.
BIS serves as financial agent for international agreements, collects information on the global economy and serves as lender of last resort to prevent global financial collapse (GEE WHERE HAVE WE SEEN THIS DONE BEFORE??!!!)
BIS promotes an agenda of monopoly capitalist fascism. It gave a bridge loan to Hungary in the 1990’s to ensure privatization of that country’s economy, for example.
I'll let you gather more information from there if you are asking questions in good faith (as opposed to just being a troll). This is plenty of information to start you down the rabbit hole.
Scott's comment sort of has thread-ender vibes to me, so I'll post one.
<em>Tragedy and Hope: A History of the World in Our Time</em>, by Carrol Quigley.
The Amazon blurb is overly sensational, but not by as much as one might think. For more info I'd recommend checking out Quigley's Wikipedia page.
Excerpt:
> There does exist, and has existed for a generation, an international Anglophile network which operates, to some extent, in the way the Radical right believes the Communists act. In fact, this network, which we may identify as the Round Table Groups, has no aversion to cooperating with the Communists, or any other group, and frequently does so. I know of the operation of this network because I have studied it for twenty years and was permitted for two years, in the early 1960s, to examine its papers and secret records. I have no aversion to it or to most of its aims and have, for much of my life, been close to it and to many of its instruments. I have objected, both in the past and recently, to a few of its policies... but in general my chief difference of opinion is that it wishes to remain unknown, and I believe its role in history is significant enough to be known.
(This was written in 1966.)
This book should be required reading for everyone especially truth seekers on this sub. Tragedy & Hope
For the Americans, here's a good source.
For the rest of the people, I recommend Tragedy & Hope: A History of the World in our Time.

The other, newer version is about 800 pages, and watered-down... I wonder why.
Tragedy & Hope by Carroll Quigley explains how the modern world works.
However, it is like 1400 pages and incredibly detailed which often means boring lists of names and dates. So there is a shorter summary book, Tragedy & Hope 101 that is definitely worth your time.
If you wanted more American history you should learn about where eugenics came from (here's an excerpt from the book). If you read that you'll realize one of the goals of WWII was to control population growth, to have a "biological world order." They lost the war, and set about limiting population growth in other ways which of course leads us to today.
Don't vote, it is your implicit approval of the entire political system. Your way of saying "I'm good with all that is happening so I will participate in your system."

Very cool, I've read Quigley's work too, very important but, let's he honest, mostly very boring. I haven't read the skull and bones book itself just information about it unfortunately.
The other big one, literally, from Quigley is Tragedy & Hope. But it is a fucking monster, Tragedy & Hope 101 is a much shorter and well done summary of the book and isn't all that long.
Between all these various pieces and their own individual details we kinda know how power has rolled for the last century-ish. Feels like/hoping it might be tumbling down now.
"The chief problem of American political life for a long time has been how to make the two Congressional parties more national and international. The argument that the two parties should represent opposed ideals and policies, one, perhaps, of the Right and the other of the Left, is a foolish idea acceptable only to doctrinaire and academic thinkers. Instead, the two parties should be almost identical, so that the American people can “throw the rascals out” at any election without leading to any profound or extensive shifts in policy … [E]ither party in office becomes in time corrupt, tired, unenterprising, and vigorless. Then it should be possible to replace it, every four years if necessary, by the other party, which will be none of those things but will still pursue, with new vigor, approximately the same basic policies." Prof. Carroll Quigley in his book "Tragedy and Hope". Quigley was one of Bill Clinton's political mentors.
> ... Quigley's assertion that a secret society initially led by Cecil Rhodes, Alfred Milner and others had considerable influence over British and American foreign policy in the first half of the twentieth century. From 1909 to 1913, Milner organized the outer ring of this society as the semi-secret Round Table groups.
