"Rear Admiral James Kelly, the naval commander of US naval forces in Japan. . . ." Well! This gives him immense powers of perspicacity. He's in Japan.

The Japanese may not hate the Chinese as the Chinese hate them but they are nevertheless ruthlessly racist. It is of no consequence that this fits in with the American way of life. Racism. This military minded, propaganda-impugned, Japanized naval commander--an authority, let us not forget--sees " China developing a 'blue water navy' capable of projecting Chinese power well beyond its shores" and he's not even in China.

Let me ask you. . .why is it okay for America to protect itself with its blue water navy but not another country?

Okay. Foolish question.

"Kelly was speaking in the Australian capital, Canberra, where he is on a visit to commemorate the 65th anniversary of the Battle of the Coral Sea in World War II."

This is paragraph five. All paragraphs being one sentence long. Each a statement of fact, however "yellow" or misleading. Australia is not--I repeat NOT an ally and parrot of American policy. So, Admiral Kelly's vociferations are not tainted by PC-ism. Oh, no no no! After all, he's an authority. Authorities are above such human pettinesses.

Lest we forget, we are working on pandering fear. Fear works from the backside, too, that is, by way of resurrecting history and paralleling the Chinese navy with the Imperial Japanese Navy that was out to conquer the world. Well, part of the world. That's enough, yeah? Remember The Alamo!

"Commenting on the expansion of Chinese naval power [sic] her [sic] said there was a heightened need for transparency between the world's navies 'so we don't have a misinterpretation of something out on the high seas.'

"'Things to come.'

"Last October's submarine incident was 'probably a sign of things to come,' he said."

Refer here back to paragraph #4--or #3, it's difficult to tell on a wire transfer. It happened last year, in 2006. My God! It's old news. Old news dug up from its rightful grave and waved, like dirty laundry, in public.

Let's discount the immense navy the US sent to the South China Sea for manoeuvers. . .or the navy in the Persian Gulf (why hasn't this been renamed the Iran Gulf since that's where it is?). Off the coast of Iran . Does Iran have a coast? Does it have a navy? Where's Persia?

I cannot go on. Such words as "likely" and "sees" and "probably" weigh heavily on the average everyday mindless American. Not to mention "Things to come." Right out of Night of the Living Dead! It's War of the Worlds all over again right here on planet Earth. On our doorsteps, if I'm not mistaken. Wasn't that doormat made in China ? The article goes on to note many more realistic and profoundly true truisms, such as "suspect" and "envision."

There is no need to go further. Let's go trout fishing in America. Or to Watermelon Sugar. Or even to The Pictorial Encyclopedia of Fashion when paranoid rationalization for nationalism and racism and fascism and hatred in general is needed. Perpetuation of the species is important.

What is important here is the pandering, how the writer or writers build their case based on the unknown, based on already existing prejudice and ignorance and the vague, undefined loss of something. If you can't name it, if you can't pin it down, it's frightening. It's. . .the unknown. This article is used as an example of how control is maintained on thoughtless America, people who do not question authority and believe everything they read, contrary to the cliché so popularly bantered about.

This isn't exactly yellow journalism, though the Left (ugh!) likes to use such pejorative writing. No. It's more akin to Monster from the Black Lagoon writing. Where did all the fear come from in Frankenstein (for those of us who actually read the book)? From Victor Frankenstein's use of the word "monster" and from his never stating just what it was that affrighted him in the first place.

When are people going to question what is put in front of them? When are Americans at home going to become like Americans in China sitting at the dinner table when the waitress brings in a new dish, announcing it in some barbaric better-to-be-forgotten language: "What's that?"

Thinking uses up calories. Americans are too fat.
