During the Middle Ages, King Canute sauntered down to the seashore, sat on a throne, and commanded the waves to stop coming in.  The waves did not stop. According to President Obama and his harem of Sublime Porte courtiers, King Canute's big mistake was not a mistake in geopolitics or in the geostrategic or in violating the Laws of Nature itself, but in his timing. According to  President Obama and his Sublime Porte courtiers, King Canute’s only mistake in not stopping the waves was not living in the 21 st Century. President Obama, unlike failed King Canute, does live in the 21 st Century; in the Century of FACEBOOK, TWITTER, and  Beyonce, therefore fantasies can become policy. As a Leader without any concept of a Faulknerian Past, President Obama believes his Modernity can overcome geopolitical facts, geostrategic facts, the Laws of Nature, Jungian irredentism, the Blood Memory of Boris and Gleb, 1500 years of Russian history and 5,000 years of Human History.

When the Crusaders seized the last Moorish stronghold in Spain, Granada, for the Christian Kings Ferdinand and Isabel, they ousted A bu Abdallah Muhammad XII, known to history as Boabdil. He had given up without much of a fight, preferring exile to fighting for his country.  On his way out of his native country, Boabdil reined in his horse, and looked back. He burst into tears. His mother, who had advised him to fight for everything he had believed in, to fight for his country, to fight for his people, for la raza on his native soil, mocked him. She said to her weeping son : "Thou dost weep like a woman for what thou couldst not defend as a man." If people profess a love for their native country, and their native country is being oppressed by would be Crusaders, the drug cartel, Knights Templar, one should stay and fight for the beloved country, rather than self-exile oneself to another country, and then whine about conditions in the host country.

Now we know. Now all reasonable,  empirical observers of Communist China know; that the heroes of the  Communist Elite, currently running China, are not Mao Tse Tung, or Chou En Lai, or Deng Xiaoping  but Baby Doc Duvalier of Haiti and Colonel Mobutu of Zaire. Now we know it is not Andre Malroux who is writing the history of modern China but Graham Greene; now we know the chronicle of Communist China circa 2014 is not MAN’S FATE but THE COMEDIANS. How do we know this? Because the Chinese Communist Elite is stealing from the  Chinese  people at a rate  unequaled  in recorded history, both on an absolute scale, and on a relative scale. In this century, the Communist Elite of China HAS STOLEN FOUR TRILLION DOLLARS; that is more than the Gross National Product of the following countries: Germany, France, Italy, India, Brazil, Canada, Australia, and South Korea.  Four Trillion dollars is one fourth of America's national debt, stolen from the Chinese people.

Is Edward Snowden a Soviet…err Russian Spy? Before we explore that question, let us remember that President Vladimir Putin of Russia is a trained former Soviet KGB officer, a trained espionage agent, a trained spy master, a man of dark manipulations. A KGB agent is trained in more than tactics; he is trained to hone his instincts, to be able to see a historical opportunity, and then seize that historical opportunity. It is the position of this Blog that President Putin sees a historical opportunity, to Reverse the Reagan victory over the Soviet Union in the Cold War.
