Richard Nixon visits China – HISTORY
Year1972
Richard Nixon visits China
President Richard Nixon visits the People’s Republic of China. After arriving in Beijing, the president announced that his breakthrough visit to China is “The week that changed the world.” In meeting with Nixon, Prime Minister Zhou Enlai urged early peace in Vietnam but did not endorse North Vietnam’s political demands. North Vietnamese officials and peace negotiators took a dim view of Nixon’s trip, fearing that China and the United States would make a deal behind their backs. Nixon’s promise to reduce the U.S. military presence on Taiwan seemed to confirm North Vietnam’s fears of a Chinese-American sellout-trading U.S. military reduction in Taiwan for peace in Vietnam. Despite Hanoi’s fears, China continued to supply North Vietnam levels of aid that had increased significantly in late 1971. This aid permitted the North Vietnamese to launch a major new offensive in March 1972.

India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi warned Pakistan on Friday to expect a strong response to a suicide attack that killed 44 paramilitary policemen in Kashmir, ratcheting up tension between the nuclear-armed neighbours.
The car bomb attack on a security convoy on Thursday was the worst in decades of insurgency in the disputed region. India said it had “incontrovertible evidence” of Pakistani involvement, a statement quickly rejected by Islamabad.
“We will give a befitting reply, our neighbor will not be allowed to destabilize us,” Modi said in a speech, after meeting security advisers to discuss options.
The attack comes months before national elections in India.
The Pakistan-based Islamist militant group Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) claimed responsibility soon after a suicide bomber rammed an explosives-laden car into a bus carrying police personnel.
India has for years accused Muslim Pakistan of backing separatist militants in divided Kashmir, which the neighbors both claim in full but rule in part.
Pakistan denies that, saying it only offers political support to the Himalayan region’s suppressed Muslim people.
The White House urged Pakistan “to end immediately the support and safe haven provided to all terrorist groups operating on its soil”.
Pakistan is due to host peace talks next week between the Afghan Taliban and the United States as part of efforts to seek a political settlement to the Afghan war, but escalating tensions with India could divert Pakistan’s attention.
Pakistan is a Rogue State Sponsoring Terrorism.

As outrage and demands for revenge flooded Indian social media, Arun Jaitley, one of the most senior figures in the Hindu nationalist-led government, told reporters India would work to ensure the “complete isolation” of Pakistan.
The first step, he said, would include removing most favored nation (MFN) trade privileges that had been accorded to Pakistan – though annual bilateral trade between the countries is barely $2 billion.
The last major attack in Kashmir was in 2016 when Jaish militants raided an Indian army camp, killing 20 soldiers. Weeks later, Modi ordered a surgical strike on suspected militant camps across the border in Pakistan Kashmir.
When he swept to power in 2014, Modi vowed to pursue a tough line with Pakistan. The two countries have gone to war three times since independence from Britain in 1947, twice over Kashmir.
The Line of Control, the de facto border dividing Indian- and Pakistani-held Kashmir, is widely regarded as one of the world’s most dangerous flashpoints, especially after the two countries became nuclear-armed states in 1998.
CALLS FOR REVENGE
Indian Foreign Secretary Vijay Gokhale summoned Pakistan’s ambassador, Sohail Mahmood, and issued a demarche demanding that Islamabad take verifiable action against Jaish. India also recalled its ambassador in Pakistan for consultations, a government source said.
Pakistan’s foreign ministry also summoned the Indian Deputy High Commissioner in Islamabad to reject New Delhi’s “baseless allegations,” a Pakistani official said.
Crowds gathered in Jammu, the Hindu-dominated part of Jammu and Kashmir state, to demand stronger action against Pakistan.
A curfew was briefly imposed in Jammu after crowds overturned and set fire to some vehicles. Protesters were also marching to the Pakistani embassy in New Delhi.
The attack comes at a difficult time for Pakistan, which is struggling to attract foreign investment and avert a payments crisis, with its swiftly diminishing foreign currency reserves at less than $8 billion, equivalent to two months of import payments.
The escalating tension risks overshadowing a visit to the region by the Saudi crown prince, who is due in Islamabad over the weekend and New Delhi next week, with both governments hoping to attract Saudi investment.
On Friday, Islamabad said the two-day visit had been put back by a day until Sunday but the programme would remain unchanged. It gave no explanation for the change.

India’s Home Minister Rajnath Singh flew into Srinagar, the main city in Indian Kashmir, and joined mourners carrying the coffins of the dead police men, before they were sent to their homes across India.
Hundreds of thousands of Indian troops are deployed in Kashmir. Singh said civilian vehicles will be stopped if there is a major movement of military convoys on the main highway following Thursday’s attack.
The separatist insurgency has waxed and waned since the late 1980s but began to pick up in the last five years as a fresh generation of Kashmiris was drawn to militancy.
Soon after Thursday’s attack, Jaish released photographs and a video of a young Kashmiri villager, Adil Ahmad Dar, who it said had carried out the suicide attack on the convoy.
In the video, Dar warned of more attacks to avenge human rights violations in Kashmir. On Friday, hundreds of people gathered at his village of Lethpora to mourn his death.
His parents told Reuters the 20-year-old took up the gun after he was beaten by troops in Kashmir three years ago.
Jaish is one of the deadliest groups operating in Kashmir.
In 2001, it mounted an attack on the parliament in New Delhi that brought India and Pakistan to the brink of war.
Indian efforts to add Jaish leader Masood Azhar to a UN Security Council blacklist of al Qaeda-linked terrorists have been blocked by China.
Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Geng Shuang expressed “deep shock” at the latest attack and said Beijing hoped “relevant countries in the region” could cooperate to combat the threat.
THE REVELATION HAS A PLAN FOR THE DOWNFALL OF THE EVIL EMPIRE
The Revelation has a Plan for the Downfall of the Evil Empire.
In my analysis, the LORD God Creator made no plan to end this World. The Apocalypse, the Doom, the Catastrophe, the Cataclysm, the Calamity, the Disaster, and the End Times mentioned in The New Testament Book of Revelation specifically refers to the Downfall of the Evil Empire code-named as Babylon.
The Revelation has a Plan for the Downfall of the Evil Empire.The Revelation has a Plan for the Downfall of the Evil Empire.
In Earth’s long history, the planet encountered several calamities but none of them have ended the World. Indeed, lifeforms have been lost or became extinct and yet the World reemerged with the introduction of newer forms of Life.
How close has the world come to meet its end? Very close, and more times than you think. We know from geologists, paleontologists, and archaeologists that the planet was slammed by asteroids millions of years ago, and the impact virtually wiped out life on Earth. And this was long before humans were on the scene.
Since the ascent of mankind, humans have staved off possible extinction from massive volcanic eruptions, floods, and ice age glaciers.
More recently, many of the threats to our planet have originated with ourselves. Since the end of World War II, we have lived with the Damocles sword of nuclear annihilation, and we have come close to that fiery demise more than a few times because of miscalculation, computer malfunction, and human error.
We are not free from unwelcome visitors from the cosmos, either. Solar flares, asteroids, and comets have threatened our existence in the past and continue to do so.
With a nod toward our mortality, 24/7 Wall St. has compiled a list of the ways the world could have ended, using resource material such as Live Science, NASA, National Geographic, and Scientific American.
9. Permian era extinction
> When: 250 million years ago
The Revelation has a Plan for the Downfall of the Evil Empire.
It was called by National Geographic the greatest natural disaster in Earth’s history. About 250 million years ago, at the end of the Permian period, almost all of Earth’s trees were wiped out, as well as 95% of all marine animal species, and more than two-thirds of land animal species.
There are various theories as to why this event happened, including impact from an asteroid, fallout from a titanic volcanic eruption, depletion of oxygen in the oceans, and massive buildup of carbon dioxide.
The Chicxulub impact is one of the most thoroughly researched, and catastrophic, natural disaster events in Earth’s history. During the Mesozoic era 66 million years ago, an asteroid traveling 40,000 miles an hour struck the Yucatán Peninsula in what is now Mexico with a force estimated to be more than 100 trillion tons of TNT.
It created a crater 115 miles wide and several miles deep. Scientists believe creatures hundreds of miles away were killed by a giant fireball. The force of the blast created a tsunami scientists believe was up to 1,000 feet high.
Marine Isotope Stage 6 is the rather clinical-sounding name for the long glacial event that nearly wiped out Homo sapiens between 195,000 and 123,000 years ago. Scientists believe rapid climate change leading to cold, dry climate conditions made the African homeland of our descendants uninhabitable.
They migrated toward the southern coast of Africa to escape disaster because that region had edible plants and a profusion of shellfish.
The eruption of Mount Thera in Greece about 3,500 years ago was four to five times more powerful than the more widely known Krakatoa event in 1883. Geologists believe the energy emitted from the blast was that of hundreds of atomic bombs exploding in a fraction of a second. The blast could be heard 3,000 miles away.
The Minoan culture that held sway over the Mediterranean region at the time disintegrated. Earth was covered with enough ash to bring on darkness all over the world. Tsunamis raced around the planet and wiped out untold numbers of coastal villages, just as civilization was dawning.
Another volcanic episode that predates Krakatoa was the eruption of the Indonesian volcano Mount Tambora in 1815. The next year became known as “The Year Without a Summer” following what scientists said was the biggest volcanic eruption in history. About 71,000 people perished.
The resulting “volcanic winter” — when debris spewed into the atmosphere from the volcanic event blocked ultraviolet rays from the sun and lowered Earth’s temperature — killed livestock and crops all around the world.
Had electricity been in widespread use in 1859, the solar storm that struck Earth that year would have been a truly catastrophic event. The event was named after British astronomer Richard Carrington, who witnessed it and was the first to understand the connection between the sun’s activity and geomagnetic disturbances on Earth. As it was, the cosmic episode damaged telegraph communications all over the world.
The solar flare was so intense that people in countries where nighttime had fallen thought it was morning.
In the same year Krakatoa erupted in the Pacific, Earth was nearly visited by the Bonilla Comet, and it would have been calamitous if it had. In 1883, portions of the comet, named after astronomer José Bonilla, missed Earth by just 400 miles. Had they not missed Earth, they likely would have caused hundreds of thousands of deaths.
Scientists estimate fragments might have ranged in size from 164 feet to about 3,280 feet across. Each chunk was estimated to be as big as the fragment that hit Tunguska in Russia in 1908.
The Great Comet of 1996 was massive in size. Discovered by amateur astronomer Yuji Hyakutake just two months earlier in January 1996, it was the closest approach to Earth of any comet in 200 years. At its nearest approach in March 1996, the comet was 9.3 million miles away, the distance between Earth and the planet Neptune. It had been the brightest comet in 20 years. The comet’s tail stretched 311 million miles, one of the longest ever seen.
A latter-day Carrington Event, a massive solar flare, occurred in July 2012. But unlike the Carrington episode of 1859, Earth was not in the line of fire. However, the event was close enough to have struck the Stereo-A spacecraft and touched the portion of Earth’s orbit where the planet had been a week prior.
The Revelation has a Plan for the Downfall of the Evil Empire.

John Dingell, the longest-serving member of U.S. Congress, dead at 92
Special Frontier Force Pays a Respectful Tribute to the US Congress Representative John Dingell.
WASHINGTON, Feb 7 (Reuters) – John Dingell, a gruff Michigan Democrat who entered the U.S. House of Representatives in 1955 to finish his late father’s term and became a legislative heavyweight and longest-serving member of Congress, died on Thursday. He was 92.
“Today the great State of Michigan said farewell to one of our greatest leaders. John Dingell will forever be remembered as ‘The Dean’ of Congress not simply for the length of his service, but for his unparalleled record of legislative accomplishments,” Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer wrote in a post on Twitter.
Dingell served 59 years in the House before retiring in 2015 because, as he said to a Michigan business group at the time, he could no longer “live up to my own personal standard” for serving in Congress.
On Wednesday, Dingell’s wife, Debbie Dingell, who was elected to succeed him, said on Twitter that she skipped Tuesday’s State of the Union address in Washington to be with him as his health declined.
The Detroit News reported he was in hospice care after being diagnosed with prostate cancer, which he had decided not to treat.
On Wednesday, Dingell dictated a tweet for his wife to write: “I want to thank you all for your incredibly kind words and prayers. You’re not done with me just yet.”
Democratic Senator Debbie Stabenow wrote in a post on Twitter: “We have been incredibly lucky to have you and will miss you dearly.”

The exclusive Roger Stone arrest video released by CNN bears mute testimony to the fact of the CNN-FBI Collusion to undermine the basic principles of democratic governance. In democracy, the news media play a critical role to defend the Individual Freedoms. Media uses the Free Speech rights to safeguard personal liberties. The news media have the duty to report any excessive use of police force that is detrimental to the rights entitled to the citizens.
I ask my readers to join me in my demand for an independent investigation to expose the sordid relationship between the CNN and FBI. It is very disheartening to note that the CNN has failed in its duty to defend Freedom and Human Rights from abuse by law enforcement forces acting against the core values enshrined in the US Constitution. The CNN video serves no purpose other than that of revealing the Gestapo Tactics of the FBI to execute a simple arrest warrant.

A group of heavily armed FBI agents stormed Roger Stone’s Florida home on Friday morning, as seen in a dramatic CNN video.
Stone, a longtime associate of President Donald Trump, is accused by a federal grand jury of lying about the investigation of Russian meddling in the 2016 election, according to Special Counsel Robert Mueller.
Law enforcement vehicles with flashing lights, but without sirens, are seen parked nearby Stone’s Fort Lauderdale home shortly after 6 a.m. ET Friday, CNN reports. The network has aired the footage multiple times Friday.
About a dozen officers outfitted with flashlights, bullet-proof vests and tactical gear surrounded the home.
In the video, an agent is heard pounding on the door and announcing “FBI! Open the door!” Then, he shouts “FBI! Warrant!”
The door opens and a shadow that appears to be Stone can be seen. CNN reports Stone answered the door wearing his glasses and sleepwear.
This type of surprise arrest is unusual, as no other person tied to this investigation, including Trump’s former chairman Paul Manafort, has been arrested in this way, CNN reports.
Stone will make an initial appearance in federal court at 11 a.m. Friday in Fort Lauderdale.
The CNN-FBI Collusion transforms the United States into a Police State. The FBI illegally shared its information with the CNN agents allowing it to exploit the information for commercial gain.

Tibetans can help revive ancient knowledge, says Dalai Lama
At least 10,000 trained Tibetan monks and nuns can help revive traditional Indian knowledge.
This was stated by the Dalai Lama while interacting with a delegation of Indian scholars from various institutions here on Thursday. The Dalai Lama proposed that reviving ancient Indian understanding of the mind and emotions, reason and logic, in modern India, was a contribution Tibetans could make.
The Dalai Lama said that although such knowledge developed in India, in the course of time, interest in it diminished. “However, we Tibetans have kept it alive and have brought it back to the land of its birth,” he said.
“In China, there are millions of Buddhists, but they do not pay attention to the study of Buddhist philosophy and logic. On the other hand, Tibetans have only pursued the study of Buddhist logic and philosophy and we always use the logical approach in our pursuit,” he said. The Dalai Lama said that in the re-established monastic universities in India, there were 10,000 monks and nuns who were trained and equipped to teach the ancient Indian wisdom. “Now, we have 10,000 monk students who have studied this tradition for 20 to 30 years,” he said.
“At the age of 83, I have committed myself with the help of the monastic community to revive the ancient Indian knowledge through education based on the Indian secular understanding,” he said.
Tibet can help in the revival of Sanatana Dharma in India.

The Richard Nixon Foundation was a fitting place to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the United States.
An elaborate dinner was held on Sunday at the foundation, the resting place of the American president whose “ice-breaking” trip to China in 1972 opened a significant chapter in the history of the two countries.
Elected officials, representatives of the Chinese Consulate General in Los Angeles, Chinese-American leaders, musicians and business leaders who participated called for goodwill and mutual understanding at a crucial juncture in the Sino-American relationship.
“For many years, Southern California has been running at the forefront in leading US-China subnational exchange and cooperation. It provides a good example of the mutually beneficial nature of our relations,” said Zhang Ping, Chinese consul general in Los Angeles.
He said the fact that President Xi Jinping and US President Donald Trump had reached an important consensus during their meeting at the G20 on Dec 1 is encouraging, and “it’s important that we make concerted efforts to implement their consensus”.
“As we look at the journey that bilateral relations have gone through, we are gratifying to see that our people are always standing behind the relationship,” Zhang said.
The event, co-hosted by the Roundtable of Chinese-American Organizations and the Richard Nixon Foundation, was attended by around 450 people.
The commemorative event kicked off with an “East Meets West” concert that included the national anthems of China and the US performed by the Orange County Music and Dance School.
Attendees also enjoyed performances by soprano Feng Wei and pianist Bai Chao Lan, as well as a selection of songs played by the Orange County-based Pacific Symphony, which made its debut tour in China in May.
Foundation President William Baribault called Nixon’s opening with China a “truly transformational foreign policy”.
“Because of President Nixon’s long and deep reading and understanding of history, he knew that China was a great power, and from his long and deep practice and understanding of statecraft, he knew that a truly stable, secure, prosperous and peaceful world requires the inclusion of all great powers at the table,” Baribault said.
Nixon’s 1972 trip, which he dubbed “the week that changed the world”, marked the first time a US president set foot in China.
It led to the issuance of the Shanghai Communiqué at the end of the trip and the signing of accords between US president Jimmy Carter and Chinese vice- premier Deng Xiaoping in 1979, which formally established US-China diplomatic ties.
“His weeklong tour is one of the world’s most significant diplomatic milestones in the 20th century that has a lasting impact on our future,” said Guo Song, chairwoman of the Roundtable of Chinese-American Organizations.
She said Chinese Americans abroad, who have experienced up close the ups and downs of the relationship, treasured the deep and everlasting friendships between the US and China.

King went on to be the first president of the Southern Christian Leadership Council, leading marches from Selma to Montgomery. A moving orator, King delivered his famous “I Have a Dream” speech at the March on Washington in 1963.
Inspiring generations to come, King’s work and activism led to the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Voting Rights Act of 1965, and more.
Here are 11 of the most iconic photos of King ever taken:
King receives a kiss from his wife, Coretta Scott King, on March 22, 1956, after being released from a Montgomery jail.
King was instrumental in leading the more than year-long Montgomery bus boycott to desegregate the bus system, which was sparked by Rosa Parks’ refusal to give up her seat. The picture was taken after King had been found guilty of conspiracy to boycott the buses, but the judge suspended his $500 fine.
King’s mugshot after he was arrested in Birmingham on April 12, 1963 — Good Friday — for violating an anti-protest injunction.
In April 1963, King and the Southern Christian Leadership Council organized the Birmingham Campaign to protest segregation, which involved a series of sit-ins and marches.
After King was arrested, and while in solitary confinement, he penned his famed “Letter From a Birmingham Jail,” which responded to a number of local religious leaders who criticized the Birmingham campaign.
King delivers his famous “I Have a Dream” speech at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington DC on August 28, 1963.
“I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character,” King said in perhaps his most famous line of the speech. “I have a dream today.”
The March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom, in which about 250,000 people gathered, drew attention to the continuing inequality and struggles of African Americans.
King shakes hands with Malcolm X in Washington DC in March 1964.
The picture was taken shortly after Malcolm X split with the Nation of Islam.
Malcolm X would later travel to Mecca, where he learned that orthodox Muslims preach equality of the races, leading him to abandon the belief that all white people are devils.
King points to a bullet hole in his rented St. Augustine, Florida home on June 5, 1964.
King was in St. Augustine to help end segregation in one of the US’ oldest cities, hoping that it would also garner more support for the pending Civil Rights Act, which was passed less than a month later.
King meets with President Johnson in January 1965 at the White House to discuss the Voting Rights Act of 1965, which would be passed about eight months later.
King marches and civil rights marchers cross the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma, Alabama, on March 21, 1965, during their 50-mile march to Montgomery to protest voting laws.
King organized three marches from Selma to Montgomery in March 1965, the first of which later became known as “Bloody Sunday” after state troopers brutally assaulted the activists, galvanizing Congress to pass the Voting Rights Act of 1965.
King delivers his last speech on April 3, 1968, at the Mason Temple in Memphis, Tennessee.
“I just want to do God’s will,” King said at the end of his speech. “And he’s allowed me to go up to the mountain. And I’ve looked over. And I’ve seen the promised land. I may not get there with you. But I want you to know tonight that we as a people will get to the promised land. So I’m happy tonight, I’m not worried about anything – I’m not fearing any man. My eyes have seen the coming of the Lord.”
King was assassinated the next day, April 4th, on a balcony at the Lorraine Motel.
