Long Chinese convoys were carrying armed Chinese Muslim servicemen through northwest China into Afghanistan to support the Taliban militia prior to today’s U.S. offensive, according to the intelligence sources
The DEBKA sources report the troop strength of the Chinese columns at between 5,000 and 15,000. The first troops reportedly crossed the border Friday. The troop movements are reported along the ancient Krakoram Road to the Afghan-Pakistani border, through the Kulik Pass of Little Pamir, which is situated in one of the highest and most remote regions of the world.
An investigative journalist from Ireland and author of 38 books, Thomas points out that on Sept. 11, a transport plane from Beijing landed in Kabul. A Chinese delegation had gone to Afghanistan to sign a deal with the Taliban – reportedly brokered by Osama bin Laden – to provide the Afghans with missile-tracking technology, state-of-the-art communications and air-defense systems. In return, says Thomas, the Taliban would order Muslim separatists in northwest China to stop their activities. In a Sept. 13 report, the Washington Post confirmed that Beijing had just signed a deal with the Taliban to provide Afghanistan “with much needed infrastructure and economic development assistance.”
In his book, Thomas contends that hours after the plane landed in Kabul, CIA Director George Tenet received a coded “red alert” message from Israeli Mossad agents that presented a “worst case scenario” – that China would use a surrogate, bin Laden, to attack the United States. Thomas also claims that the head of Pakistan’s intelligence service was in Washington to meet with Tenet on Sept. 11, and that he briefed Tenet that day on the links between bin Laden and China. The intelligence agent “told [Tenet] that China had made a decisive decision,” wrote Thomas. “It was prepared to infuriate America and its allies in supporting bin Laden and the Taliban because Afghanistan fitted into China’s own long-term strategic plans.” Saying that bin Laden has traveled to China numerous times to meet with officials there, Thomas contends that “almost certainly he talked to them about obtaining” material to build weapons of mass destruction.

As soon as I see a theory of everything that includes placing the blame on one party or another, I tune out. The biggest illusion we have going is that there is another team to blame for our own failures as human beings.
Communism is another big clue.
China is state capitalism, and if America loses anything to China it will be because we spent all our treasure and lives up chasing boogeymen like Joe McCarthy's "communism" and "global Jihad" and nothing at all on consistently driving innovation to create the products and services the whole world demands.
We are going to need bigger dreams, and fresh bad guys to sell the future.
"When the news of the 9/11 attacks reached the Chinese there were immediately two contrasting unofficial reactions and responses. One was blatant jubilation and the other was condemnation not only of the 9/11 attacks but also the Chinese who thought the Americans deserved the attacks. Soon after 9/11 democratic dissidents called for a meeting in Washington. On the meeting entitled “China’s past, present and future: from the perspective of 9/11” the well-known Wei Jingsheng condemned some Chinese who were happy that America was attacked and those who event lit firecrackers to celebrate. He implied that the Chinese government used the occasion to arouse Anti-Americanism in China (Da Can Kao 2001). One un-named person told how all the known response in the streets of Beijing was: the US deserved it (Si xiang ping lu 2001). Some e-media debate participants openly expressed their support for the attack and hailed these who took part the attack as heroes (Du Daobing, 2003). On the other hand, Chinese dissidents not only expressed sympathy and support for the US government but also actually identified themselves with the US. Ren Bumei, a well-known dissident, declares that he feels ashamed of many of the Chinese responses expressed in BBS (Ren Bumei 2001). Yu Jie, another well-known dissident residing in China describes how he was crying in front of the TV with an American missionary friend (who brings the Gospel to the Chinese, Yu adds) and accuses Yan Xuetong, a professor of Qinghua University, as an animal, evil and Satan because the latter stated that the US was only harvesting what it had sewed (Yu Jie 2001). Another democracy activist Zhao Dagong declares th at the US is the symbol of human civilization, democracy and freedom, a country that holds for justice and peace and a country that represents the future of humanity. Zhao sighs he wants to hide his ethnic identity after knowing how the Chinese expressed delight at seeing the US got punished (Zhao Dagong 2001)."

"Seeds of Fire contains the full, untold story of the role played by Pollard in the biggest-ever theft of U.S. defense secrets. (See attached backgrounder.) UPI states that, as a result of the startling evidence published in Seeds of Fire, it is now "unlikely that Pollard will be freed. It is not only UPI that has recognized the importance of Seeds of Fire. Hours after it was published, the CIA confirmed that key documents in the book secret briefing papers by the agency on the threat China poses were accurate.
The CIA then published the secret documents already revealed in Seeds of Fire.
But Seeds of Fire contains many more documents that have yet to be published.
UPI praises Thomas as the author of the acclaimed history of the Mossad Gideon's Spies. Seeds of Fire is also the result of careful research leading to "explosive implications and conclusions.
