China Rebrands With... Death Star 2.0?

Posted by Brian Fairbanks

 

China launched its plan for world domination on Friday with a swarm of drummers, dancers and flying levitating corporate logos meant to hypnotize every human on the planet.

Billed “One World, One Dream” by the time they beat us into submission with their 18000-strong storm trooper synchronized drumming, the planet was too enraptured to worry about the Death Star rising from the stadium depths.

Not to be left out, global corporations will play a major role in the New World Order. Telecom giant AT&T is limiting communications, Google is censoring the Internet, and Nike will expand its program to enslave our young people.  Nike has also struck a deal to finally outfit the global population with those silver jumpsuits we were promised so many decades ago.

Our world leaders were also on hand to grace China’s takeover. President Bush and others waved feebly to our nation’s young elites as they marched proudly to their doom dressed as, well, our nation’s young elites.

To ensure complete submission, event organizers even enlisted the Voice of God to give His blessing and reassure the masses of our Dear Leader’s Benevolence. It is hoped that with so much entertainment the world will not pay too much attention phase II of “One World One Dream", which began simultaneously with much less fanfare but just as many fireworks in Georgia.

With this New World Order in place China is also hoping to expand its prison, science and citizen disappearance programs, which in the least would give our local Bodies exhibit a little more variety.

on the one hand this strikes me as a xenophobic post -

on the other hand it might not be too far off.

Xenophobic: true. Not far off: true.

There ARE Chinese people who read this, and frankly, we're kind of jealous of some Americans' hypocritical smugness. Damn. Kind of analogous to how jealous America is of our glow-in-the dark suits with light bulbs on them. Yeah. I went there.

Meanwhile, I love how the completely culturally uneducated commentator said that a dancer's headpiece was "Indian" and that children were being surrounded by Tai Chi masters doing "karate". Sexy.

Don't think it's xenophobic as I'm sure Dark Knight Cheney is right there with 'em.  We've seen it again and again and this only makes the case: the powers that be are only interested in "democracy" insofar as it promotes and enables capitalism.

Should authoritative state-capitalism work better than why not?

but it's not as those China would reign such a dark world alone.
