A series of events can be traced throughout history, where one great empire collapses due to “transformation” or “economic malaise”, and hence, takes what they can with their demise. The Roman Empire’s collapse between the third and fifth centuries is a classic example, and historians to date, still argue over the main principles, which caused the Empire to crumble. But not all ‘downfalls’ are created equally. Not all span over centuries. Tactics change. Outcomes, though not initially notable, can become bloodbaths.

In 2013, Tyler Durdan researched an article concerning the rise of the Chinese monetary (Yuan is the basic unit of Renminbi) against the decline of the US dollar on the world economic forum. It’s an interesting scenario he paints. And as he states, “nothing lasts forever.” Durdan goes on to quote Joachim Nagel, a business strategist focusing on strategic conflict and Chinese trade within the European economy, as saying:

“…Given China’s growing economic importance, the internationalization of the renminbi seems long overdue”.

“…The renminbi is currently transitioning from being a trading currency to an investment currency.”

“The Chinese currency is well on its way to becoming one of the future global reserve currencies.” [1]

These quotes are important. They reflect the growth of a potential new international player versus the American economy, now struggling internally, and on the world stage.

Now, add if you will, the developing alliance between Russia and China. A 30 year deal worth approximately $400 billion has been signed by China to buy natural gas from the Russians. China and Russia have suddenly aligned. Moscow has received an economic boost and China has received a very strategic partnership. Couple this with a potential third party joining the alliance (Iran), and exclude the United States; we can begin to see the potential to ‘scramble’ in a once strong political, economic and military arena. [2]

With the call from Chinese President Xi Jinping to create a new Asian organization in the name of “security co-operation” with Russia and Iran invited to participate, the early signs of an American ‘fall’ may be what we are witnessing in places such as Ukraine, Syria and more recently, the Umbrella Revolution in Hong Kong. They are losing their grasp on this chaotic world. University of Tehran professor, Foad Izadi is quoted as saying “I think the Chinese-Iranian-Russian alliance is a nightmare for the United States… bypassing of the US dollar I think is a major step toward getting rid of the dollar for international economic transactions and this would be quite devastating for the United States.”[3]

So, what has this to do with the Occupy Central movement? This is a potential crux of the said collapse of a leading western economy.

During their trip, both Lee and Chan would attend a NED-hosted talk about the future of “democracy” in Hong Kong. Undoubtedly, “Occupy Central” and Washington’s support of it was a topic reserved for behind closed doors.

The White House has now officially backed the movement. Recently, a spokesman for the White House, Josh Earnest, has openly declared that they are watching and supporting the people of Hong Kong. On face value, this is commendable. But behind the professed Occupy Central demonstrations, one can argue the probability of a declining empire “promoting subversion and division within China,” and other countries.[4]

It’s not difficult to draw the subversive intentions of Occupy Central and its backers, National Endowment for Democracy (NED). One just needs to examine the subsidiaries, which include: Visa, McDonalds, Boeing, Hilton, Council on Foreign Relations, Department of State, and many more. Understandably, these foreign interests’ agenda can be interpreted as driven by capitalism, rather than democracy in its proper custom. Is the insidious nature of Occupy Central to destabilize what is ultimately a genuine people’s revolution? Regardless, Beijing’s hand, in order to “save face” is being coerced unfairly. Cartalucci states in his recent article this week, “US-backed destabilization efforts [other movements resembling Occupy Central] have been exacted elsewhere – namely the Middle East and Ukraine.” [5]

That is not what democracy is about.
