Chinese Military Handed No-Bid Contract
On Key US Security Infrastructure
Media omit fact that Hutchinson Whampoa is an arm of the red dragon
Paul Joseph Watson & Alex Jones/Prison Planet.com | March 27 2006
The Associated Press reported last week that Hutchison Whampoa Ltd was given a no-bid contract by the US government to take over radiation detecting security just 65 miles away from Freeport in the Bahamas with no oversight. Hutchinson Whampoa is admittedly a holding of the Chinese navy and the People's Liberation Army.
The US government has handed a no-bid contract directly to the Chinese military machine to handle key security infrastructure right as that country gears up for a future confrontation with America.
According to a 1999 investigative report by the American Foreign Policy Council,Hutchison Whampoa, through its Hutchison International Terminals [HIT] subsidiary or Panama Ports Company,has substantial links to the Chinese communist government and the Peoples Liberation Army.

The Panama Ports Company is 10% owned by China Resources Enterprise, which is the commercial arm of China's Ministry of Trade and Economic Co-operation.In its investigation into China's attempts to influence the 1996 US presidential campaign, US Senate Government Affairs Committee identified CRE as a conduit for ‘espionage economic, political and military-for China. Committee Chairman Senator Fred Thompson said that CRE has geopolitical purposes.Kind of like a smiling tiger; it looks friendly,but its very dangerous. Sen Trent Lott has described the Hong Kong firm as an arm of the People's Liberation Army.The company is headed by Li Ka-Shing (pictured below),the chairman of Hutchison Whampoa Ltd.
Intelligence shows he has deep connections
with the Chinese Communist government.

U.S. Hiring Hong Kong Co. to Scan Cargo

Associated Press Writers
WASHINGTON (AP) - One of Americans' favorite beach destinations, the Bahamas, is getting a new U.S. arrival - sophisticated equipment to detect radioactive materials in shipping cargo. But U.S. customs agents won't be on site to supervise the machine's use as a nuclear safeguard for the American shoreline that is just 65 miles away from Freeport. Under an unusual arrangement, a Hong Kong company will help operate the detector.

Chinese Company Continues to Encircle the World

Wednesday, June 13, 2001
A huge, multibillion-dollar company closely tied to the Chinese army has set up operations in ports all around the world.
From Panama to the Philippines, an arm of Hutchison-Whampoa, Hutchison Port Holding (HPH), has become the world’s largest seaport operator, embedding itself in strategic seaports all across the globe.
Hutchison holds the exclusive contract to operate the Panama Canal.
An animated map on the Hutchison-Whampoa Web site shows the extent of the encircling movement with seaport operations in Africa (Tanzania International Terminal Services Ltd.) in the Western Hemisphere with seaport services in Beunos Aires, Argentina; Freeport, the Bahamas; Veracruz, Mexico; and at both ends of the Panama Canal.

A Chinese Naval Base -- at Long Beach
by Patrick J. Buchanan
March 13, 1997
Until this week, the heart of the historic U.S. Naval Base at Long Beach was about to be leased to a shipping company, Cosco, that is a virtual subsidiary of the Chinese Communist Army.
In 1995, a Cosco ship, the Empress Phoenix, was boarded by Customs agents, who seized a cargo of 2,000 AK-47 assault rifles -- destined for Los Angeles street gangs.
And who was chief lobbyist for handing over the historic naval base to China? None other than the president of the United States. Clinton held two meetings, one in the White House with Chief of Staff Leon Panetta and a deputy secretary of defense, to press Long Beach to make the deal.

Chinese general warns of nuclear risk to US
Jonathan Watts in Beijing
Saturday July 16, 2005
The Guardian
A senior Chinese general has warned that his country could destroy hundreds of American cities with nuclear weapons if the two nations clashed over Taiwan.
Major general Zhu Chenghu, a dean at the National Defence University, said he was expressing a private opinion, but his comments, the most inflammatory by a senior government official in 10 years, will fuel growing concerns in Washington about the rise of China.
Speaking at a lecture arranged by the foreign ministry and attended by several foreign correspondents on Thursday, Mr Zhu said China was prepared to initiate non-conventional warfare over Taiwan. "War logic dictates that a weaker power needs to use maximum efforts to defeat a stronger rival," he was reported as saying by the New York Times.
"If the Americans draw their missiles and position-guided ammunition on to the target zone on China's territory, I think we will have to respond with nuclear weapons."

Spieglein an der Wand, wer ist der Klügste am Kontinent? Deutsche am intelligentesten

* Kann das sein? Österreich bei IQ-Test an 6. Stelle
* Serben 'dümmste' Europäer, Türkei nur knapp davor



Die Österreicher nehmen mit einem durchschnittlichen Intelligenzquotienten (IQ) von 101 den sechsten Platz in einem von einem britischen Wissenschafter erhobenen Ranking ein, das von der britischen Tageszeitung "The Times" veröffentlicht wurde. Den ersten Rang mit einem IQ von jeweils 107 teilen sich die Deutschen und die Niederländer.
Es folgen die Polen mit einem IQ von 106, die Schweden mit 104 und die Italiener mit 102. Ex aequo mit den Österreichern finden sich die Schweizer in dem Ranking von Richard Lynn von der University of Ulster. Mit einem IQ von 100 folgen Briten und Norweger. Russen nehmen mit einem IQ von 96 Platz 17 ein, die Franzosen mit einem IQ von 94 Platz 19.
Lynn hatte im vergangenen Jahr mit der Behauptung für Diskussionen gesorgt, dass Männer intelligenter seien als Frauen. Sie weisen nach Erkenntnissen des Forscher einen durchschnittlichen ID von 105 auf, Frauen bringen es nur auf 100. Lynn kam auch zu der Erkenntnis, dass die Nordeuropäer eine größeres Gehirnvolumen haben als die Südeuropäer und führt dies auf die schwierigeren Lebensbedingungen zurück.
"Die frühen Menschen in den nördlichen Regionen mussten kalte Winter überleben, in denen es keine Pflanzen gab, und auf Großwildjagd gehen", wurde der Wissenschafter in der "Times" zitiert. "Der wichtigste äußere Einfluss auf den IQ ist die Ernährung, und die Menschen in Südosteuropa nahmen vermutlich weniger Proteine, Mineralien und Vitamine aus Fleisch auf, die wichtig für die Entwicklung des Gehirn sind."

"Kälte lässt Gehirne voluminöser werden"
Der Verfasser der Studie, Richard Lynn, sieht in dem Klima in Nord- und Mitteleuropa den Grund für den IQ-Vorsprung: Die kalten Temperaturen haben nach Ansicht des Professors die hiesigen Gehirne voluminöser werden lassen. Auch die militärischen Siege der Briten gegen die Franzosen im Laufe der Jahrhunderte sieht Lynn unter anderem mit seinem Befund erklärt: Es sei ein Gesetz der Geschichte, dass das militärische Lager mit dem größeren IQ gewinne. Diese Regel gelte allerdings nicht, wenn - wie bei den Deutschen im Zweiten Weltkrieg der Fall - die Armee zahlenmäßig stark unterlegen sei.
Lynn hatte im vergangenen Jahr Schlagzeilen gemacht, weil er Männern in einer Studie einen durchschnittlich fünf Punkte höheren IQ als Frauen attestierte.

Germans 'most intelligent Europeans'
From correspondents in London
27mar06
GERMANS are the most intelligent people in Europe, well ahead of the British and the French, according to a study.
Northern Ireland's University of Ulster found Germans have an average intelligence quotient of 107, a scintilla of brainpower above the Dutch who also scored 107, The Times reported today.
Poles were on 106, Swedes on 104 and Italians on 102.
The British rated eighth with an average IQ of 100.
The Spanish scored 98, Ireland 97, Russia 96 and the French 94.
Serbians languished at the bottom of the table on 89.
The head of the study, Professor Richard Lynn, caused controversy last year by claiming that men were more intelligent than women by about five IQ points on average.
He said of his latest findings that populations in the colder, more challenging environments of Northern Europe had developed larger brains than those in warmer climates further south.
The average brain size in Northern and Central Europe is 1,320cc and in south-east Europe it is 1,312cc, according to his studies.
He described it as "a hitherto unrecognised law of history" that "the side with the higher IQ normally wins, unless they are hugely outnumbered, as Germany was after 1942", The Times reported.
There were also differences in IQ levels within countries – with higher scores found on average in big cities.
He said intelligence across Britain could be attributed to bright people moving to London over hundreds of years.
Adults in England and Wales have an IQ of 100, higher than Scotland with 97.
