Christian-Zionist Mike Pompeo Paves the Way for Israel-China Cooperation - Sudan is China's Gateway Into Africa - "Decoupling" But to What Extent? - Tough Decision: China or Israel? - Palestine "Deleted" - China's Belt & Road Initiative in Africa

Ed.'s note: The Christian-Zionist Mike Pompeo is pimping for Israel this time in Sudan. Since South Sudan gained independence in 2011, Israel has continuously sold Sudan weapons, surveillance technology and provided military training and security, much of which has been used to commit war crimes, and potentially crimes against humanity in the civil war that began in 2013. Under China's Belt & Road Initiative infrastructure plans, China already dominates South Sudan's oil fields tapping in to an estimated 3.5 billion barrels of crude oil in proven reserves. China has invested so far roughly $15 billion in Sudan's oil sector (this when ExxonMobil is booted from the Dow Jones Industrial Average) from and Sudan will be a base for further expansion of China into Africa.

This is likely related to the US now having its special forces in 22 African countries all operating in a "shroud of secrecy." What is most noticeable is that while China is bringing investment and infrastructure projects to Africa, the Americans while promising "health aid," continue bombing some of Africa's poorest nations while simultaneously allowing pharmaceutical companies to experiment on Africans with vaccines. All the while these tensions between Israel and the US over China are becoming increasingly complex, the world has ignored Palestine now deleted to make room for China-Israel cooperation on China's Belt & Road Initiative.

Implications for Africa from China's One Belt One Road Strategy

Christian-Zionist Pompeo arriving in Israel to discuss Israel's increasing trade and investment projects with China. One thing is absolutely certain: Israel will not decouple from China. The US and Israel may cut a few agreements between China and Israel, but over the long run trade will continue to increase.

Breaking China: A rupture looms between Israel and the United States

This is all very significant considering we have pointed out in repeated posts that the relationship between Israel and China is now inseparable with trade between China and Israel increasing yearly with a free trade deal between the two countries that was expected as of December, 2019. China already manages the port in Haifa, Israel giving China access to the entire Mediterranean region. What we continue to be reading is how "China will be the center of the Belt & Road Initiative," however, it is going to be impossible for China to be at the center of its Belt & Road Initiative without Israel's cooperation in trade, investment and technology. Pompeo's visit to Sudan (put those masks on gentlemen) comes after President Trump announced a "historic peace agreement" between the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Israel. In this announcement, there was absolutely no mention anywhere of the enormous cooperation in trade and investment between the UAE and China.

President Trump Announces "Historic Peace Agreement" Between the UAE and Israel - UAE Key Component in China's Belt & Road Initiative - Palestinians: It's Just Business and You're in the Way - Beirut Port Obliterated; Haifa Port Fully Functional Under Chinese Management - 4IR - TSMC Engineers Head For China

We are really confused about the Christian-Zionist Mike Pompeo stating last month: "We must admit a hard truth that should guide us in the years and decades to come: that if we want to have a free 21st century, and not the Chinese century of which Xi Jinping dreams, the old paradigm of blind engagement with China simply won't get it done. We must not continue it and we must not return to it." How does Pompeo expect a "free 21st century" with increasing Israel-China trade and cooperation in all sectors including technology? Are readers confused by Pompeo's duplicitous diplomacy towards China and Israel concerning America's position? You don't have to be, not when you understand that what is possibly being run here is a "smokescreen" with Pompeo playing his part.

US-China War: A Smokescreen Towards One World Government

Despite Pompeo's empty rhetoric on a "free 21st century," the US continues to kill people in Syria while escalating their presence there. Syria now has no other choice but to join China's Belt & Road Initiative. Pompeo and the Pentagon probably "look blindly" on Israel because the Pentagon's computer cloud contract is with Microsoft. And Microsoft is now all run out of Israel. That could be just one of many reasons. What strikes us is that Pompeo looks like such a buffoon compared to his counterparts in Israel and China with these two countries negotiating business preparing for the remainder of the 21st century that doesn't look to include the US.

Pompeo in Sudan visit pushes normalizing ties with Israel

CAIRO -- U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo visited Sudan on Tuesday to push for normalizing ties with Israel, building on momentum from the recent historic agreement to establish relations between Israel and the United Arab Emirates.

The Sudanese transitional government said, however, that it does not have a mandate to establish diplomatic ties with Israel. It called on the Trump administration to not make the removal of Sudan from a U.S. list of state sponsors of terrorism contingent upon normalizing relations with Israel.

Sudan is on a fragile path to democracy after the popular uprising led the military to overthrow autocratic leader Omar al-Bashir in April 2019. A military-civilian government now rules the country, with elections possible in late 2022.

The transitional authorities are desperate to have sanctions lifted that are linked to its listing by the U.S. as a terror sponsor. That would be a key step toward ending its isolation and rebuilding its battered economy, which has plunged in recent months, threatening to destabilize the political transition.

Pompeo is the first U.S. secretary of state to visit the African country since 2005, when Condoleezza Rice visited. He also is the most senior U.S. official to visit the African country since last year's ouster of al-Bashir.

Pompeo arrived from Israel and while he was still airborne he tweeted: "Happy to announce that we are on the FIRST official NONSTOP flight from Israel to Sudan!"

His flight was the first direct trip between Tel Aviv to the Sudanese capital Khartoum. Pompeo was in Israel on Monday on the first stop of his multi-country tour in the region. The trip follows the Aug. 13 agreement between Israel and the UAE to establish diplomatic ties.

Pompeo met Tuesday with Sudanese Gen. Abdel-Fattah Burhan, the head of the ruling sovereign council, and Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok,

Hamdok later described his meeting with Pompeo as "great" and tweeted in English that they had a "direct & transparent conversation" about removing Sudan from the U.S. terror list, bilateral relations and the U.S. government's support for the civilian-led transitional government in Sudan.
