China Gives No Thanks To Kitty Hawk
For almost half a century the USS Kitty Hawk, permanently based in Asia, patrols the waters of the South and East China seas lest they become a Chinese “Mediterranean”. In a surprise move, China refused a Hong Kong port of call arranged at extensive US taxpayer expense to reunite sailors with their progeny for the American Thanksgiving holiday. Admiral Timothy Keating told US newspapers he was ‘perplexed’ that Beijing was not up on important holidays and will confer with top brass over how to respond to the affront.
The decision occurred while Hong Kong Chief Executive Donald Tsang is in Beijing taking orders from his superiors. Was Tsang’s absence a factor? Could it be that Beijing feared the arrival of a fully armed US aircraft carrier in a special municipality without its de facto head of state? Or was it a display for Tsang’s benefit to let Hong Kong know that Beijing is looking after their safety now?

No Sign Of End to AD14 Outbreak
A virulent virus is on the attack in America with hundreds of cases, deaths racking up (well over ten so far), mysterious transmission, unclear mutation, and fatalities among the very young and otherwise healthy.
At this stage in the "SARS Crisis" of Spring 2003, the press of the Atlantic Alliance was in overdrive flooding the airwaves and newsstands with apocalyptic headlines about the new out of control pandemic emanating from China and threatening the world.
I saw then that the overblown coverage of "SARS" was a smokescreen to obscure the US-British invasion of Iraq. This is proven once again by the almost complete lack of interest in the various forms of Acute Respiratory Syndrome sweeping the USA. The latest information from the Center for Disease Control reveals it is worth public notice. But the so-called MSM would rather talk about tainted toys from China.
