China's economic interests are blooming into military ties: arming militaries in Latin America, for example, writes Lindsey Hilsum

A belligerent imperialist is apt to invest in Nation building or “Spreading Democracy”, whatever, and, in so doing, the effort is bound to encounter an ‘inspired’ resistance.  

I call that: Power- dependence. One might wake up one morning to find themselves backed into a corner as the power ‘shifts’ too far to the right (or left) and one may be positioned on the wrong end ‘all of a sudden’ as if they had been asleep for a long, long time.

One might have put too much “Trust” in a false “authority”, in other words, one might have invested much toward something that amounts to ‘less than’ nothing i.e. a shared falsehood.

I’m speaking of a cult of personality that is not something new.  It is a blind obedience, or faith, in falsehood (read: Authority). 

One might ask oneself: Who is to blame?

If the answer is: “Blame the authorities”, then, I rest my case.

On second thought: This may not be a good time to rest.
