Let's Join Our Neighbors Across the Pacific

January 18, 2010 -- If the famous cold weather of San Francisco wasn't enough to convince you that there was no such thing as "global warming," then perhaps the recent news of 2009 being the United Kingdom's coldest winter in a century, will.

As the United States and most of Europe have been bamboozled by the British monarchy to believe that carbon dioxide is evil and deindustrialization is good, the nations across the Pacific, namely Russia, China, India and South Korea, are moving full speed ahead with rail and nuclear power development. While our United States is returning to the Stone Age by suppressing nuclear power development, China is seeking to mine the moon-- in the near term-- for the Helium-3(He-3) isotope to solve the needs of its current, and future, population. The tonnage of He-3 required for nuclear fusion electricity generation for the Chinese population, is minuscule in comparison to the tonnage of coal or oil required for the equivalent electricity generation, and recent studies show that this supply of He-3 on the moon is constantly being replenished by solar activity.

The real beautiful side to all of this, is the recognition of what should be the common sense next step for mankind-- mastery of the atom.

Ongoing treaty agreements between Russia, China, India, South Korea and Japan, on nuclear power, rail development and nanotechnologies, represent a strategy to survive the endgame scenario of the world economy in opposition to globalization.

Russia has entered into long-term treaty agreements with China to construct railways in eastern Russia, and nuclear breeder reactors and uranium enrichment facilities in China. India has entered into treaty agreements with Russia to build nuclear power plants, and construct a manned spaceship to put an Indian astronaut in space. While free trade and globalization have left a country like Indonesia a tourist economy and susceptible to natural phenomena, like tsunamis, South Korea will provide them with nuclear power to bring them into the 21st century. It doesn't end there; With backing from Russia and China, the Organization of Islamic Conference has decided to construct a rail link from the Port of Sudan to Dakar, Senegal-- the first ever rail link to extend across the African continent.

There is one crucial piece missing to this puzzle-- the U.S.A.

Russian Railways Minister Vladimir Yakunin has already extended an invitation to the present government of the United States and, with what's left of its industrial capabilities, to construct the long overdue Bering Strait tunnel-- a bridge linking the two continental giants of the United States and Russia.

Anyone in the U.S. government who does not support U.S. treaty agreements for this kind of long-term economic development with Russia, China and India, in particular, and our neighbors across the Pacific Ocean, more broadly, should instantly change their priorities or surrender their position fast. The reliance on simple raw materials, and low technology goods exporting, must come to an end if we are to survive this current economic crisis. Globalization, for that reason, must be defeated.

The future of the world today, lies in our cooperation with Eurasia. As the Congressman from the 8th Congressional district, I would take the lead in extending a hand to Asia, instead of giving a back hand to them, as Pelosi has done.
