the Executive Board] of the Arab Commission for Human Rights, a collaborating institution with the US NED World Movement for Democracy. US NED-funded activist leader Moncef Marzouki, after spending two decades in exile in Paris, helps foist the facade of “democracy” onto the Tunisian people. The “String of Pearls”: China’s oil lifeline is to be cut by the destabilisation and regime changes being made throughout Africa and the Middle East. Along the “String”, the US has been destabilising nations from Pakistan to Myanmar, from Malaysia to Thailand, to disrupt and contain China’s emergence as a regional power. In Egypt in late November, a second "revolution" began unfolding on the streets. In reality, it was the same western-backed forces led by ElBaradei and the emerging Mamdouh Hamza [of ElBaradei's National Front for Change] against Egyptian military forces that seemed to have gone back on whatever arrangements hey made with the West after the fall of Mubarak. The United Nations, in another attempt to escalate oreign intervention in Syria, released a UN Human Rights Council report regarding Syrian "crimes against umanity". It was actually co-authored by Karen Koning AbuZayd, a director of the Washington-based corporate hink-tank Middle East Policy Council, which includes Exxon men, CIA agents, US military and government representatives and even the President of the US—Oatar Business Council, whose members include Al Jazeera, Chevron, Exxon, munitions manufacturer Raytheon (which supplied the opening salvos during NATO's operations against Libya) and Boeing. The report itself contained no verifiable evidence but rather hearsay accounts recorded in Geneva by alleged "victims", "witnesses" and "defectors", put forth by "all interested persons and organizations". In other words, it was an open invitation for Syria's enemies to paint whatever image of the ruling government they pleased. "Hillary Clinton and the New American (Pacific) Century" [16 November 2011] commented: "Upon reading Clinton's declaration of intent for American leadership into the next century, readers may recall the similarly named, ranting Project for a New American Century, signed off on by some of America's most notorious neo-conservatives, which almost verbatim made the same case now made by Clinton. In act, America's evolving confrontation with China, marked acutely by Obama's announcement of a permanent US military presence in Australia just this week, is torn directly from the pages of decades-old blueprints drawn up by corporate-financier-funded hink-tanks that truly rule America and its destiny. "As reported in June 2011's ‘Collapsing China’, as far back as 1997 there was talk about developing an effective containment strategy coupled with the baited ook of luring China into its place amongst the ‘international order’. Just as in these 1997 talking- points where author and notorious neo-con policymaker Robert Kagan described the necessity of using America's Asian ‘allies' as part of this containment strategy, Clinton goes through a list of regional relationships the US is trying to cultivate to maintain ‘American eadership' in Asia. "For example, the recently reinstalled Wall Stree proxy regime in Thailand, led by Thaksin Shinawatra and is sister Yingluck, has received reassurances by Clinton erself just this week, stating that ‘it is in the nationa security and political interest of the United States to ave this government succeed’. As reported in depth in ‘Confirmed: Thailand's "Pro-Democracy" Movemen Working for US’, Thaksin Shinawatra and his politica regime have had longstanding, well-documented ties to Wall Street and London. The US backing of puppe regimes like Thaksin, installing them into power and keeping them there, is central to projecting power December 2011: With Tunisia and Libya fully run by western proxies, with Egypt and Syria still mired in chaos and with globalists calling for war on Iran, the "Arab Spring” was nearly complete. However, the "Arab Spring" was only the first leg of a grander strategy to encircle Russia and China. In December, the campaigns to move in on Russia and China began in earnest. Hillary Clinton, for the November 2011 edition of Foreign Policy Magazine, penned "America's Pacific Century", a declaration of imperial intent for American "leadership" in Asia for the next 100 years.
