Pompeo’s Sinophobic Pressure Campaign Runs Amok at National Governors’ Association Convention

This insecure passive aggressiveness shined with blinding intensity on February 8 during an annual National Governors' Association event which saw 44 American state governors come together from Feb. 7-10 in Washington, DC.

During his speech, Pompeo's niceties quickly ended in order to launch into his main agenda behind speaking at this venue: To threaten all participants to stay away from China because "China is watching you. Working you."

Pompeo warned the attending governors not to make bilateral deals with China "that could undermine national policy", and stated: "Whether you are viewed by the CCP as friendly or hardline, know that its working you, know that its working the team around you. Competition with China is happening inside your state and it affects our capacity to perform America's vital national security functions."

Faced with Trump's often re-stated desires to build positive relations with China and achieve a trade deal, the deep state has gone on overdrive pushing to sabotage this dynamic by promoting the support of Taiwan and Hong Kong independence, while working hard to shut down as many American-based Confucius institutes which had grown to 90 at their max.

In recent months, FBI and CIA pressure has resulted in the closing of 29 of the 100 Confucius institutes in the past 6 years. Most recently, under pressure of the new National Defense Authorization Acts of 2018 and 2019, 22 Institutes have been forced to shut down with sinophobe senators Mark Rubio, and Ted Cruz leading the charge on the republican side and sinophobe democrats like Seth Moulton running the pressure campaign for the democrats. On top of this, hundreds of Chinese scholars, and scientists have been fired from their positions as professors and researchers in universities, and slandered as espionage agents by the new McCarthyite Witch hunt run under the Christopher Wray's FBI. The policy is blunt and simple: Sever as many intellectual and cultural connections between America and China as humanly possible to prevent any alliance from forming.

Pompeo's deployment to the Governors' conference was a major part of this fanatical campaign since the oligarchy is aware that American governors like Matt Bevin of Kentucky, Bill Lee of Tennessee, Nebraska's Pete Ricketts, and many others see China's desire to invest in American infrastructure and agricultural products as a life line for survival where no federal relief appears visible and an economic meltdown looms overhead.

The irony which leading deep state operatives managing the anti-China/Russia campaign refuse to acknowledge is that America's oncoming economic collapse can only be stopped by a FDR-styled bankruptcy reorganisation of Wall Street and a new alliance with actually viable nations like Russia and China who wish to help America rebuild its decayed agro-industrial foundations.
