Interview with Mike Billington
View of London and of Obama and not necessarily the US military by the way; is that they need a war, they need a war especially with Russia and China to prevent an alliance of the Russians, the Chinese and the US, which is the only alliance that could break the power of a London-based financial empire.”
A prominent analyst tells Press TV that the London-based empire is after waging war between the US on one side and Russia and China and other Asian nations on the other side to maintain its financial power.
The US’ arms sales to China’s and North Korea’s neighbors appear set for significant growth amid regional security jitters. Washington’s provocative decision comes as territorial disputes between China and Japan over a disputed group of islands in the East China Sea are raging. Meanwhile China’s Foreign Ministry has warned about infringement of its sovereignty by Japan with regards to the islands.
Press TV has conducted an interview with Mike Billington, wit the Executive Intelligence Review from Arlington to shed more light on the issue at hand. Billington is joined by two additional guests on Press TV’s News Analysis program: Chris Bambery, political commentator from London and Linh Dinh, writer and political analyst from Philadelphia. What follows is an approximate transcription of the interview.
Press TV: Mike Billington, our guests have mentioned the US in a number of occasions so let me introduce the US in this scenario. It just came out last week, US arms sales to Asia set to boom, that is what the headline read. White House to boost security partners armed might, economic rewards for the US to lead to enough US sales in South and East Asia to more than off set a slowdown the European arms-buying.
I mean how do you see that? Is not the US in a sense fanning a rise of militarism in the region? And on the other hand why does not the US want to enforce diplomacy between the two countries?
Billington: Well, I think that you have to look at to this historically first of all. That you are dealing here with a classic British policy.
Remember that the British successfully manipulated Japan into launching two world wars. One, when they went to war with China over Korea in 1894 which led ultimately into World War I, and then in the 1930’s when British and their allies in the US around JP Morgan and his friends financed and pushed Japan into the Manchurian invasion and what ultimately led to World War II.
And it is certainly the hope of Wall Street and London and Obama, the puppet to the Wall Street-London crowd, that they can push Japan into a confrontation with China now, whose purpose is to break up any alliance between the United States and China and with Russia as well.
Keep in mind that we are in the midst of the biggest financial breakdown crisis in the history. The entire European and American financial system is bankrupt, they are printing money at unprecedented rates, creating a hyperinflation and the view of London and of Obama and not necessarily the US military by the way; is that they need a war, they need a war especially with Russia and China to prevent an alliance of the Russians, the Chinese and the US, which is the only alliance that could break the power of a London-based financial empire, which is now in the state of total collapse, and replace it with a development-oriented creditary system.
Now the view from London, as you know, from the economists in the Financial Times is that they are going to be successful in manipulating this war calling the new Japanese government of Shinzo Abe, rightwing, anti-China and so forth.
I do not believe that. I think that it is possible but it is highly unlikely. Remember that this entire incident was started by Mr. Ishihara, the former mayor of Tokyo, a British asset who views Russia and China as Japan’s enemies, who wants nuclear weapons to counter them and who intervened here, in a peaceful situation to buy these islands; the government then foolishly, under the previous government, stepped in and had them nationalized, but it was Ishihara, a puppet of this global financial crowd, who launched this confrontation, precisely to stir up this confrontation with China and to try to drive the United States into a confrontation with China, which unfortunately, this idiot president that we have here in Washington [President Obama] is following London on every step, pushing for an encirclement of China as he is with an encirclement of Russia with ABM systems and military policies in Syria and Iran, which are aimed at provoking a war with Russia, a war that will likely be thermonuclear.
Press TV: Mike Billington, let us cut away the fluff here. If you were to give us a timeline in terms of a confrontation that may occur; how quickly do you think that this may happen? Given the fact that I would think that the US also needs to ..., well they have said, the Pentagon Chief, Leon Panetta, defense policy in the region calls for the US military to expend military-to-military relationships well beyond the traditional treaty allies.
He is referring, I assume, to the Association of South East Asian Nations [ASEAN]. So what about looking at it in terms of Taiwan?
Billington: Not only the South East Asian Nations [ASEAN], the irony here is that the US military headed by the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Dempsey are probably the leading force that can prevent this war.
They do not agree with Obama, they do not agree with Wall Street or the city of London and your previous speaker [Chris Bambery] who identified the London-Wall Street axis is exactly right.
This does not serve British interest, it does not serve the American interest as nations. It serves the interests of the empire, the financial institutional empire, which has always been historically known as the British Empire or the Venetian Empire but the timeline is extremely short because we are looking at a situation where if Obama continues with his colonial regime change policy with Tony Blair and Cameron backing it up full steam by launching a war against Syria or perhaps even before Syria Iran; this will provoke a war with Russia.
This could be literally in weeks and if it becomes a war it is going to be a thermonuclear war and if it is a war with Russia, the likelihood is that they will immediately be at war with Russia and China.
So it is in that light that you see the placing of these X-band radar systems, second one in Japan and the one that they plan to put in the Philippines. The upgrading of the ABM systems and a ring around China, claiming falsely that this is a defense against North Korea just as they claim falsely in Europe that the ABM systems are [in] response to Iran, when in fact those systems have only one purpose which is to prevent a counterstrike from Russia or from China and therefore it is very serious strategic threat to both Russia and China.
So we are sitting on the brink. If this president, Obama, is not removed through impeachment or through forcing him to resign now, on the grounds of his very, very serious crimes in Libya, in allying himself with the al-Qaeda forces in Syria and in Libya; removed and prevented from pushing this imperial British line of warfare, so that we can get down to the business of the implementing of a new world financial system around the Bretton wood’s approach with a Glass-Steagall [Act] so that we can begin working with our true allies, Russia and China as great nations, with whom we can work to develop the world, as Franklin Roosevelt [32nd President of the United States] wanted to do and as the best of the US military leadership and intelligence leadership wants to do.
This is not American interest that are pursuing this insane war policy nor the hyperinflationary bailout of the British-American banking system.
This is an empire, which is the enemy of the Americans as much as it is an enemy of the British people and China and Russia. This is what is at stake and it is very, very short-term. This could be literally any day or any week if these wars are kicked off through an attack on Syria or Iran or perhaps, even to start in Asia as it has [had] in the past.

Please lah. This Mike Billington fella, usually bright on geo politics, is way off the mark here.
Britain should have the word "Great" taken away from it. It is nowhere near the old powerful proud global imperialist it once was. When it was bullying Japan, England was indeed "rule Britannia".
Now Britain is a shadow of its former self. In fact it is fast becoming Britanstan and will probably cease to be a monarchy, and change to a caliphate or sultanate.
Fuckers can't even pay their bills. They're broke. Manipulate what? The can't even manipulate their trains to run on time!
Democracy is died when capitalism takes the lead.
As more gas and oil field are found in usa, that country will break into two or more parts. This will take place in the next decade.
I do agree with Matilah that Britain is a spent force and will become an Islamic state soon. It is a reverse colonisation when the former colonial master's country is being colonised by the people that it once colonised.
Britain used to be the master of world events, pulling the strings and creating animosities among Afro Asian countries. It is no longer relevant today, just a fading power.
Mike Billington has his own views of things and it is good to listen to an alternative view of how the west is manipulating the world.
'It’s not new. It’s very reminiscent of British economists during the Irish famine in the mid-nineteenth century, when economic theory dictated that famine-struck Ireland must export food to Britain, which it did, right through the Irish famine, and should not be given food aid because that would violate the sacred principles of political economy. These principles typically have this curious property of benefiting the wealthy and harming the poor.

The same goes for singapore poor who have to pay gst and coe for buying bread while the rich gets all kinds of perks and discounts and tax breaks.
I think many will agree with him that there is this enormously wealthy empire that is primiarily made up of some kind of elites trying to control the whole world thru owning the usa media and investment houses such as JP and GS. Everyone is their enemies irregardless what race and type. They will go on and continue to make use of different races to go against differenct races until their aim is achieved. Once they have achieved their aim, they will subject the last surviving race to perpetual slavery.
'Love of money is the root of all evil.' (bible)
@647
Fuck the bible lah. It's irrelevant and full of shit.
"So you think that money is the root of all evil? Have you ever asked what is the root of money? Money is a tool of exchange, which can't exist unless there are goods produced and men able to produce them. Money is the material shape of the principle that men who wish to deal with one another must deal by trade and give value for value. Money is not the tool of the moochers, who claim your product by tears or of the looters, who take it from you by force. Money is made possible only by the men who produce. Is this what you consider evil?" Ayn Rand from 'Atlas Shrugged'
@208
It is not money. It is the love of money. Read carefully not blindly. You PIG.
@344:
Dear Asshole-Of-The-Month,
I simply disagree with your shit book of lies -- known to you as The Holy Bible.
It is you who can neither read nor comprehend the fact that there are people like me who use the pages of your ancient comedy book to clean my anus after defecating satisfyingly.
Fuck your bible. I don't agree :-)
Can?
