"Zbig is really riding high now. He had the central role behind the scenes, and he was all alone in the press play. I'm told the President thinks Zbig did 99 percent of the work on China."More likely, however, the China policy was formulated and implemented by a Trilateralist troika: Jimmy Carter, Cyrus Vance and Brzezinski. And this policy was only a continuation of a policy begun under a "Republican" Administration, that of Richard Nixon and Henry Kissinger, another Trilateralist. The heady effect that these vast policy making exercises have on these men, almost an infantile reaction, is well reported in the Washington Post on February 8, 1979 with the headline, China Policy: A Born-Again Brzezinski, [4]describing how Brzezinski excitedly describes his meeting with Teng [aka Deng Xiaoping]:
FEBURARY 1979--The eyes sparkle with excitement even days later. The arms erupt in sudden sweeping gestures when he talks about it. And that causes the photos--about a dozen of them--to fly out of Zbigniew Brzezinski's hands and scatter over the floor of his office as he is speaking. "Here's Cy... and here I am... and there is Teng right between us.... " Brzezinski is talking in that quick. clipped, excited style that is his way, and he is pointing at one photo that remains in his hand while he bends to scoop up the rest, talking all the while. "It's amazing, when you think of it. The leader of a billion people--having dinner in my house just two hours after he arrived in this country! "I mean, it really is rather amazing!"Zbigniew Brzezinski (left) and Deng Xiaoping (right)--1979
"To grant China favorable conditions in economic relations is definitely in the political interest of the West" adding "...there seems to exist sufficient ways for aiding China in acceptable forms with advanced civilian technology."Triangle paper 15 also adds:
"The situation is different... where arms supplies or advanced military technologies are concerned, except for types of equipment that by their nature serve purely defensive purposes." (p. 58)In fact, as we shall see later, Trilateral firms have exported even advanced military technology to Communist China. Further, as part of one world, Trilateralists see an ultimate merging of free enterprise Taiwan with the Communist mainland. Even more remarkable, the paper envisages that Communist China will return to an expansionist aggressive policy under two conditions:
The nerds are running the show in today's China. In the twenty years since Deng Xiaoping's [Ed. Note: count backward to 1978--79] reforms kicked in, the composition of the Chinese leadership has shifted markedly in favor of technocrats. ...It's no exaggeration to describe the current regime as a technocracy. After the Maoist madness abated and Deng Xiaoping inaugurated the opening and reforms that began in late 1978, scientific and technical intellectuals were among the first to be rehabilitated. Realizing that they were the key to the Four Modernizations embraced by the reformers, concerted efforts were made to bring the "experts" back into the fold. During the 1980s, technocracy as a concept was much talked about, especially in the context of so-called "Neo-Authoritarianism" --the principle at the heart of the "Asian Developmental Model" that South Korea, Singapore, and Taiwan had pursued with apparent success. The basic beliefs and assumptions of the technocrats were laid out quite plainly: Social and economic problems were akin to engineering problems and could be understood, addressed, and eventually solved as such. The open hostility to religion that Beijing exhibits at times--most notably in its obsessive drive to stamp out the "evil cult" of Falun Gong--has pre-Marxist roots. Scientism underlies the post-Mao technocracy, and it is the orthodoxy against which heresies are measured. [Emphasis added]Thus, during the 1980s Technocracy (and scientism) took deep root not only in China, but also in South Korea, Singapore and Taiwan. Similar gains were seen in Europe during the 1990s and in the United States since 1973. The Trilateral Commission's utopian "New International Economic Order" is Technocracy, and China was the first modern experiment and transformation. And, why not China? Dealing with a single Communist dictator was a lot easier than dealing with a parliament, congress or senate in more democratic nations. The so-called "Neo-Authoriarianism" mentioned above is ample evidence that the champions of Technocracy knew full-well that it would be easier to transform an already authoritarian nation into neo-authoriarianism one; in fact, as far back as 1932, original members of Technocracy, Inc. in the U.S. called for a dictatorship in the U.S. in order to implement Technocracy. This is the rest of the story, of which I was a keen observer at the time. What I lacked in education and academic discipline was amply shored up by the consummate researcher and scholar, Antony Sutton, who was a professor of economics and a research fellow at Stanford's prestigious Hoover Institution for War Peace and Revolution in California. Sutton is widely recognized as most detailed and prolific writer in the 20th century on the transfer of technology from the West to the East.
