7/30/2019 Canada's Imperial Arctic Makeover

1/2

In 2007, headlines across Canada echoed the spirit

of the Cold war, as Canadian Defense Minister Pe-

ter Mackay screamed that Canadas arctic sover-eignty was threatened and that a greedy resource

grab of valuable Canadian territory had occurred.

Stephen Harper immediately announced plans to

purchase three arctic patrol ships, (later confirming

three unmanned drones) to defend Canadas true

north strong and free. The Russian aggressors

had to be put in their place. What had provoked thisunbalanced response from a Canada that had dem-

onstrated no active interest in the Arctic or its de-velopment for decades? As it turned out, a Russian

submarine had placed a Russian flag near the North

Pole along a disputed territory known as the Lo-

monosov Ridge. As facts would later reveal, the

Russian submarine was on nothing more than a sci-

entific study.

While large components of the abrupt militarization

of the Arctic announced by Harper in 2007, were

put on hold due to the economic crisis that spiked

in 2009, it had not at all disappeared, as we now

find the seeds of this orchestrated tension springing

up yet again. This is evidenced by the October 5th

announcement of the Canadian Geological Survey

and Natural Resources Canada that 1.75 million

square kilometres of seabed in the Arctic and North

Atlantic oceans are definitively the sole property of

Canada. These claims are the substance of a multi-thousand page submission of 25 studies submitted

in October to the United Nations Convention on the

Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) which had adopted a

new formula for determining national coastalboundaries in 2003. Nations had been given 10

years to conduct studies and submit claims for ex-

panded territory beyond the current 12 nauticalmiles (22.2 km) off coastal land. If these claims are

approved, then Canadas current area of 9.9 millionsquare kilometres will increase by 20% (or the size

of Quebec). Two of the most important territorial

claims involve the Alpha Ridge mountain extend-ing past the North Pole, and the other is the Lo-

monosov Ridge.

The Seeds of World War Begin to

Grow

Today, as tense hotspots have been built up in Syria

and Iran, which could easily unfold into a nuclear

showdown between Russia and China pitted against

NATO countries, a less understood component to

the orchestration of general war exists in the do-

main of territorial conflicts around the Pacific, Arc-tic and Atlantic Oceans.

This strategy cannot be understood unless thereader comprehend that the only opposition to anew British Empire (one world government) is tobe found in the coalition of Russia, China and Ar-gentina.

These three nations have made their full national

policy commitments center on the right to nationalsovereignty, international cooperation, technologi-

cal progress, and have committed to effective war

avoidance measures ever since the assassination of

Libyas President Gaddafi. Nations of the non-

aligned movement representing over two thirdsof the world population have rallied strongly

around these three pillars.

In the Pacific Ocean, Japans brash nationalizationof the five uninhabited islets (known by Japan as

Senkaku and by China as Diaoyu) has re-sulted in an international crisis pitting China

against Japan. China faces the danger of another

territorial conflict sparked by the the President of

the Philippines who decided late in 2011 that the

South China Sea should be re-named the East

Philippines Sea. What most media reports leaveout when discussing these hot spots, is that both

the Philippine President Benigno Aquino III, as

well as the Japan President Noda, have both

agreed recently to host U.S. military bases as part

of the new Air-Sea battle plan designed around the

containment of China and documented in La-

RouchePACs recent feature film Unsurvivable

(1). This military strategy has seen two U.S Ohio

class submarines deployed to the Pacific theatre,

each packing Trident nuclear warheads.

Other more official British colonies such as Aus-tralia are being used to contain China within the

new Air-Sea Battle Plan, as Australian PM JuliaGillard has agreed to host two US military bases

on its territory which Chinese military officials

have identified as representing direct strategic

threats. Due to the new UNCLOS measures, Aus-

tralia has recently expanded its undersea territory

by 2.5 million square kilometres (or 1/3 its total

land area) in 2008.

As small minded (often unwitting) pawns of the

British Empire do the Matriarchs dirty work on

the Pacific theatre, the British military has sprunginto aggressive direct action in the Atlantic as a

response to Argentinas recent re-affirmation thatthe Malvinas Islands are (and have always been) a

part of Argentina. Indeed, the Islands were in fact

stolen by the British Empire during the early 1833war with Argentina, and have been maintained as

a British colony ever since. The British response

to Argentinas claim has been to 1) reject all Ar-gentine offers of dialogue and 2) deploy a De-

stroyer battleship and one of its four HMS Van-

guard nuclear armed submarines to the coast of the

Malvinas (which they continue to call the

Falklands). The irony in this instance is thatBritains basis for its military deployment is cen-tered on its accusation that Argentina is acting like

a colonialist. This absurd accusation persists,despite Argentine President Christina Kirchners

insistence of the fact that Britains continuedclaim of the Falklands remains illegitimate ac-cording to the UN Special Committee on Decolo-

nization.

The Consequences of Ignoring

Reality

One year after Russia was scorned by Peter Mac-

kay and Harper for

trying to steal Can-adas arctic sover-

eignty, Russia hadfound itself the sub-

ject of an attack by

Soros Georgian pup-

pet president MikheilSaakashvili in 2008.

Saakashvilis attack

on Russias protector-ate in South Ossetia

resulted in a brief war that ended five days after

having begun. Saakashvili attempted to illegally

claim South Ossetia as Georgian territory. At that

time, Georgia was not a part of NATO, and had it

been, all relevant NATO members would have

been drawn into that conflict in Georgias defence.Today, Saakashvili has been replaced by yet an-

other billionaire puppet that has made Georgias

admission to NATO a primary objective.

With literally dozens of explosive powder kegsplaced all around the world which couldnt existas detonators for war were it not for the belief in

resource scarcity and monetary rules to whichour behaviour and thoughts must conform, the

world is sitting on the edge of a self-imposed ex-

tinction.
