Global HeavyLift Holdings Cites “Absolute Need” For Commercial Boeing C-17(BC-17)-Based Permanent Air Augmentation Of U.S. Industrial Base Global Supply Chain:Notes China’s Virtual Control of Ocean-Borne Shipping and Rise As a Blue Water Naval Power
Paris, France -- As an addendum to its May 28, 2009 press releases, Global HeavyLift Holdings, LLC, a Florida incorporated and Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) listed (www.ccr.gov) entity with principal offices in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, has announced a new emphasizing of plans to permanently augment the U.S. global supply chain with air as a transportation methodology. The strategy would involve utilizing both heavylift (commercial C-17) and standard lift aircraft (747-8F). Current projections suggest at least 300 aircraft in initial phases.

“Sword of Damocles”
“China’s and South Korea’s virtual control of ocean-borne shipping, along with China’s rise as a blue water naval power capable of interrupting critical east-west ship transit lanes at will, signals an absolute need to neutralize a veritable ‘Sword of Damocles’ over the U.S. industrial base global supply chain,” says Myron D. Stokes, Managing Member.

“There is a certain feeling of courage and hope when you work

On a summer day in 1955, ominous clouds darkened the skies over a remote
desert valley in the Western United States, reflecting international tensions
between the U.S. and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. In what had
become known as the Cold War, the two superpowers vied for supremacy in
the wake of World War II, waging a high-stakes game of brinksmanship as
each strove to discover the other’s strengths and weaknesses through overt and
covert means. The next bold step for the U.S. involved a spindly silver airplane,
innocuously designated U-2, undergoing preparations for its maiden flight in
the skies above central Nevada. Although this event took place without fanfare
and in utter obscurity, it heralded the beginning of an aeronautical technology
program that spanned more than six decades and showcased innovative aircraft
design and manufacturing techniques. Little did anyone realize at the time that
what had begun as a tool of Cold War necessity would evolve into a versatile
reconnaissance and research aircraft.
The U-2 program originated with a national requirement, an unsolicited
proposal, and studies championed by a panel of notable scientists tasked with
advising President Dwight D. Eisenhower on how the Nation might defend
itself against the threat of a surprise Soviet nuclear attack. To do this required as
much intelligence as possible on Soviet capabilities, but the Russian-dominated
USSR was a closed society that was virtually inaccessible to the outside world.1
British Prime Minister Winston Churchill once described Russia as “a riddle,
wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma.”2
As the 21st Century dawns, warfare is in the midst of revolutionary change. Information Age warfare characterized by knowledge, speed, and precision is slowly supplanting Industrial Age war and its reliance on mass. The advent of precision firepower is but the first tremor of this tectonic shift. As it reverberates around the globe, the Precision Firepower Military Technical Revolution will dramatically increase the lethality and reach of defensive fires. Unless the means
for offensive maneuver adapt to overcome the greatly enhanced power of the defense, future soldiers will face stalemate and indecision much like their forefathers confronted in 1914.

Future scenarios such as this are designed to unlock the mind from its preconceptions in the hope of revealing undiscovered insights. This process can make some futures appear less plausible that have more or less been taken for granted, and prepare decision-makers to look for signs of likewise unexpected futures. To be clear: the goal is not to predict the future. Rather, it is to think about the future and to be better prepared for it as the future unpredictably unfolds

Weaknesses in our defense industrial base supply chain, dependency on third-party vendors, continual disregard for the Berry Amendment, and lack of foresight regarding the interplay between global economy and national security are the root causes of failure in this scenario.
The task is to ensure that the vulnerabilities we highlight are never capitalized on. Doing so will require a shift from hindsight to foresight. Indeed, the necessary prerequisite of creating a better, safer national security environment for tomorrow starts with the ability to envision it. While drawing on lessons from history is certainly important, nowhere in the United States government will you find personnel dedicated exclusively to overarching strategy with a long-term view. It is imperative to remedy this in order to avoid disastrous consequences, and reduce risks – both potential and real.
The 9-11 Commission Report concluded that the devastating attacks in September 2001 were due primarily to a failure of imagination and to leaders who did not fully understand the gravity of the threat we faced. One of the most compelling aspects about the following case study is that although it takes place in the future, it relies very little on imagination. This scenario is not about fantasy or prediction but practical reasoning and logical deduction. To be sure, the framework required for disaster in this scenario to unfold is largely set.

In the contemporary era, international geopolitical chess points to the existence of three major players: the United States, China and Russia. The future confrontation between these three great military powers may result in alternative scenarios to what has characterized the hegemony of the United States on the world scene since the end of the bipolar world in which the United States and the Soviet Union confronted each other. Based on the three main protagonists of contemporary international geopolitical chess, it can be said that the United States aims to maintain its global hegemony in the economic and military spheres. To achieve this goal, the US government's strategies basically consist of the following: 1) prevent Russia from rising to the status of great world power, and 2) stop the rise of China as the hegemonic economic power of the planet. In practice, the US government wants to avoid facing the future of two giants: Russia and China. The escalation of a possible 4th World War can be used as a solution to the general crisis of the world capitalist system that erupted in 2008 in the United States as occurred with the advent of World War I after the depression of 1873, the Second World War after Depression of 1929 and of the Third World War (Cold War) to face the socialist system led by the Soviet Union after 1945.
In clear indication of a last minute ramping up of efforts to terminate C-17 production, an amendment was issued on September 29 by those in opposition to the aircraft's continued existence.
"We were in full expectation of this move," says Myron D. Stokes, Managing Member of Global HeavyLift Holdings, LLC, a Florida incorporated, Bloomfield Hills, MI based DLA-listed firm (www.ccr.gov) , "And it is precisely why we restated our position via the 9/28 release.
"Since those opposed to C-17 continue to cite "internal DoD analyses" we ask, respectfully, that they produce same. We are, of course, cognizant of the fact that a certain mythological place of intense heat would be altered by cryogenic intervention before such data were produced. Short story: It does not exist."

The United States has been the world’s leading maritime power for decades. However, the U.S. Navy could find itself
in China’s wake if current trends continue, analysts say.
Washington and Beijing are now locked in great power competition.
“The biggest challenge for U.S. national security leaders over the next 30 years is the speed and sustainability of the
[People’s Republic of China] national e!ort to deploy a global navy,” said retired Capt. James Fanell, who previously
served as head of intelligence for the Pacific Fleet.
The modernization of the Chinese navy, also known as the PLA Navy, has been underway since the 1990s, and its
fleet has greatly expanded.
In its annual report on China published last year, the Defense Department stated that its Asian rival has more than
300 surface combatants, submarines, amphibious ships, patrol craft and other specialized vessels.
In 2019, China had a 335-ship fleet, about 55 percent larger than in 2005, according to a recent Congressional
Research Service report titled, “China’s Naval Modernization: Implications for U.S. Navy Capabilities — Background
and Issues for Congress.”

“There is no doubt that they’ve been investing hugely in this,” said Nick Childs, senior fellow for naval forces and
maritime security at the London-based International Institute for Strategic Studies. “In recent years, they’ve been
outbuilding everybody.”
To put it in perspective, during a recent four-year period the naval vessels that Chinese shipyards produced were
roughly equivalent in tonnage to the entire U.K. Royal Navy or the ...

The United States has been the world’s leading maritime power for decades. However, the U.S. Navy could find itself
in China’s wake if current trends continue, analysts say.
Washington and Beijing are now locked in great power competition.
“The biggest challenge for U.S. national security leaders over the next 30 years is the speed and sustainability of the
[People’s Republic of China] national e!ort to deploy a global navy,” said retired Capt. James Fanell, who previously
served as head of intelligence for the Pacific Fleet.
The modernization of the Chinese navy, also known as the PLA Navy, has been underway since the 1990s, and its
fleet has greatly expanded.
In its annual report on China published last year, the Defense Department stated that its Asian rival has more than
300 surface combatants, submarines, amphibious ships, patrol craft and other specialized vessels.
In 2019, China had a 335-ship fleet, about 55 percent larger than in 2005, according to a recent Congressional
Research Service report titled, “China’s Naval Modernization: Implications for U.S. Navy Capabilities — Background
and Issues for Congress.”

“There is no doubt that they’ve been investing hugely in this,” said Nick Childs, senior fellow for naval forces and
maritime security at the London-based International Institute for Strategic Studies. “In recent years, they’ve been
outbuilding everybody.”
To put it in perspective, during a recent four-year period the naval vessels that Chinese shipyards produced were

Chongqing University's Beckwith Paper Posits a Challenge to Dysonian Assertio...GLOBAL HEAVYLIFT HOLDINGS
"According to Dr. Andrew Beckwith, renowned Astrophysicist Freeman Dyson asserted that Gravitons were undetectable via an analysis of infinite space; I.e., the analysis of the infinite distances involved, were to invalidate any chance of working with experimentation based upon the assumption of infinite distances, of propagation and of where the relevant physics interactions occurred. I believe Dr. Beckwith is correct in saying he has turned this analysis on its head by making reference to a small cavity based regime of probability analysis, as it relates to GW production by a Tokamak, which changes the probability of detection from 0 to 100%, by use of the same probability calculations Dyson used in his document. Dr. Beckwith substantively contends all of Dyson's suppositions are based upon infinite spatial geometry and Dyson did not once examine the physics of what would occur with a device based physics generator of gravitational waves." - Myron D.

Review of Tokamak Physics As a Way to Construct a Device Optimal For Graviton...GLOBAL HEAVYLIFT HOLDINGS
Abstract: - Review of arguments in refutation of Dyson’s alleged prohibition against use of device physics as to determining if Gravitons can be determined to exist is followed up by use of a hot Plasma within a Tokamak in a re do of the amplitude of alleged Gravitational waves. This overlaps with gravitons,and we follow up with an analysis of the pertinent form of Gravitons, i.e. do we have massless or massive gravitons. In addition we also obtain GW of amplitude as low as five meters above the Tokamak center such low strain values are extremely close to brane world GW, and strain values in early universe cosmology. This is after our device analysis.Using Grischuk and Sachin (1975) amplitude for the GW generation due to plasma in a toroid, we generalize this result for Tokamak physics. We obtain evidence for strain values up to in a Tokamak center. These values are an order of magnitude sufficient to allow for possible detection of gravitational waves. The critical breakthrough is in utilizing a burning plasma drift current, which relies upon a thermal contribution to an electric field. Such low strain values are extremely close to brane world GW, and strain values in early universe cosmology.We conclude with statements as to comparing our basic results with those of Yan-Gang Miao, Ying-Jie Zhao as to their generalized HUP which gives support to the suppositionsgiven in our comparison of the character of gravitons which are initially at the start of inflation versus those of our present era, as measured by the Tokamak.

Chongqing, Peoples Republic of China 2/12/16 1238 EST, +5 GMT -The author has viewed extensively the LIGO paper in PRD and finds that it is a very good beginning. However several caveats are in order.
a. If or not gravity waves can be composed of Gravitons is a non-trivial matter and in spite of Freeman Dyson's statement as to the impossibility of finding Gravitons, the author has reviewed Dyson's arguments as to the Gertshenshtein process effect and probability and found that these arguments most heavily fall upon more than kilometer long interferometer geometry and the light years of propagation given in Dyson's paper.

STARGATE! Precursor Formulations to Artificial Wormholes: Dr. Andrew Beckwith...GLOBAL HEAVYLIFT HOLDINGS
Abstract: When initial radius of the universe in four dimensions and there is only ONE repeating universe then Rinitial → 0 or gets very close to zero if Stoica actually derived Einstein equations in a formalism which remove in four dimensions the big bang singularity pathology. So then the reason for Planck length no longer holds. This assumes a repeating single universe. We present entanglement entropy in the early universe with a shrinking scale factor, due to Muller and Lousto , and show that there are consequences 2 due to initial entanged S Entropy = .3rH a 2 for a time dependent horizon radius rH in cosmology, with (flat space conditions) rH = η for conformal time . Even if the 3 dimensional spatial length goes to zero. This construction preserves a minimum non zero Λ vacuum energy, and in doing so keep the bits, for computational bits cosmological evolution even if in four dimensions we have Rinitial → 0 . We also find that in the case of a multiverse, that such considerations will not hold and that cosmic singularities have a different characteristic in the multiverse setting than in the single universe repeated over and over again. i.e. using an argument borrowed and modified from Kauffman, the multiverse will not mandate ‘perfect’ singularities. The existence of a multiverse may allow for non zero singularities in lieu with the Kauffman argument cited at the end of the document, plus the lower pre big bang temperatures which may allow for the survivial of gravitons just before the onset of the cosmological expansion phase, if a multiverse exists embedding our present universe.

“Budgetary constraints, with due respect, exist only in the minds of those in the public and private sector who are at best disingenuous in their claims of continuing attempts to rein in spending. A true and viable solution exists that will forever change Department of Defense acquisition processes, and it’s designated Transformational Recapitalization,” says Myron D. Stokes, Managing Director, Global HeavyLift Holdings, Inc a Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) list contractor..
“As described by national security strategist Dr. Sheila R. Ronis, Director, MBA/MSSL Programs and Associate Professor, Management, Walsh College, in a November 2004 Defense AT&L analysis “Transformational Recapitalization: Rethinking USAF Procurement Philosophies”, it is a financial management approach that is Einsteinian in its simplicity:
(Excerpt from Defense AT&L November/December 2004)
How the Strategy Works
“‘To illustrate, let’s apply this strategy to a fictitious Air Force need for a fleet of 300 aircraft. Instead of producing them at a very efficient rate of 75 per year for four years, produce them at a reasonably efficient rate of 20 per year for 15 years. Every four or five years, incorporate a technology spiral upgrade to new aircraft coming off the production line; however, do not retrofit existing aircraft. Near the end of the 15-year production, begin selling the oldest, less capable aircraft while they still have at least half their useful life remaining. Then, instead of closing the production line, continue producing new aircraft to replace those sold.
“‘Theoretically, the production line can continue indefinitely until either technology or requirements drive the need to produce an entirely new platform or when demand for the used aircraft dries up.
“‘Although the unit price of each aircraft may be slightly higher, the lower production rate combined with used aircraft sales revenue should decrease overall cash flow and provide much-needed stability to the budget and our industrial base. In addition, this strategy not only facilitates spiral development, but also ensures that the U.S. military flies the most capable aircraft while avoiding maintenance and operating costs for aging aircraft.
“‘For the 10-year-old (now 15) C-17, now is the time to start selling older less capable craft and continue production of new ones for the Air Force. As the last major aircraft production line in southern California, it would be devastating to lose that industrial capacity in 2008 (now 2011) when the 180th (216th approx.) aircraft is finished. Reducing the rate to 12 per year and selling off older inventory would not only allow the production line to continue for another 10 years, but applying the resale value and avoiding upgrade modifications would significantly reduce the cost of increasing the capacity of the fleet.

Sedona, AZ, 15 December, 2012 - Ten years ago, as Reuters photographer John Hillery and myself rounded a curve on Arizona Service Route 89 in a pre-production and completely revamped 2002 Ford Explorer, we came face-to-face with at least a 2 ton boulder blocking the roadway. There was no place to go; going around on the left would have placed us perilously close to the road edge and an estimated 1,000 ft. drop. Going to the right was out of the question.
The only choice was to stop, hopefully, in time.
We had four things working to our advantage: 1. Anti-lock braking (ABS) 2. New for Explorer anti-dive geometry 3. Lighter weight. and 4. Driving skills (John’s) presumed adequate. Thankfully, all these aspects combined to stop us just a hairsbreadth from this massive boulder which would have made short work of our vehicle - and perhaps us - had we impacted it.
Fast forward to 15 December, 2012, again headed to Sedona, this time for lunch at the renowned and highly recommended by my driving companion, L'Auberge de Sedona Resort and its Restaurant on Oak Creek.

The Problem:
September 11, 2001 proved the High-rise rescue operational inadequacies of municipally based fire/rescue services. It is imperative that this problem is quickly addressed using both existing and proposed technologies and methods.
A Solution:
IN-S.E.R.T. is a dedicated emergency response unit operated as an extension of The United States Coast Guard (USCG) F.E.M.A. and existing fire/rescue departments in any major city. Team members will have at their disposal a range of fire/rescue and fire suppression technologies designed to facilitate High-rise rescue operations. The potential flexibility of IN-S.E.R.T makes it a template for a broad spectrum of emergency responses not limited to High-rise rescue. Therefore, it has value beyond that immediately observable.
Technology, Equipment, Methods:
Specially trained personnel will benefit from the decades old expertise of the acclaimed “Smoke Jumpers” of the Western/Pacific Northwestern United States and Red Adair’s legendary pyro-containment methodologies. Additionally, they will benefit from newly developed Victim Extraction At Altitude (VEAA)techniques.

Abstract. We ask if there is always entanglement entropy in the universe. We find the resolution by work from Muller and Lousto, as to entanglement entropy 2 2 .3 H entropy r S a . We present entanglement entropy in the early universe with a steadily shrinking scale factor, due to work from Muller and Lousto , and show that there are consequences due to initial entangled entropy for a time dependent horizon radius in cosmology, with for flat space conditions r(H)=conformal time. In the case of a curved, but not flat space version of entropy, we look at vacuum energy as proportional to the inverse of scale factor squared times the inverse of initial entropy, effectively when there is no initial time except with H r in line with the conformal time being almost zero. . The consequences for this initial entropy being entangled are elaborated in this manuscript. No matter how small the initial radial length gets, then for initial cosmological entropy if it is entanglement entropy, it will not go to zero.

Global HeavyLift Holdings Cites “Absolute Need” For Commercial Boeing C-17(BC-17)-Based Permanent Air Augmentation Of U.S. Industrial Base Global Supply Chain:Notes China’s Virtual Control of Ocean-Borne Shipping and Rise As a Blue Water Naval Power
1. For Immediate Release: Global HeavyLift Holdings, LLC, Cites “Absolute Need” For Commercial Boeing C-17(BC-17)-Based Permanent Air Augmentation Of U.S. Industrial Base Global Supply Chain: Notes China’s Virtual Control of Ocean-Borne Shipping and Rise As a Blue Water Naval Power Capable of Interrupting Critical East-West Ship Transit Lanes At Will Acknowledges Exhaustively Researched “Battle of The South China Sea: 2011” Scenario by National Security Strategist Dr. Sheila Ronis as Source of Assertion Contact: John Chuhran: 248.310.2650 Paris, France -- As an addendum to its May 28, 2009 press releases, Global HeavyLift Holdings, LLC, a Florida incorporated and Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) listed (www.ccr.gov) entity with principal offices in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, has announced a new emphasizing of plans to permanently augment the U.S. global supply chain with air as a transportation methodology. The strategy would involve utilizing both heavylift (commercial C-17) and standard lift aircraft (747-8F). Current projections suggest at least 300 aircraft in initial phases. (http://www.pressrelease365.com/pr/industry/aerospace/global-heavylift-bc-17-3455.htm ) “Sword of Damocles” “China’s and South Korea’s virtual control of ocean-borne shipping, along with China’s rise as a blue water naval power capable of interrupting critical east-west ship transit lanes at will, signals an absolute need to neutralize a veritable ‘Sword of Damocles’ over the U.S. industrial base global supply chain,” says Myron D. Stokes, Managing Member. “During the case study development phase for a U.S./NATO-controlled Heavy and Outsized air cargo industry using commercial variants of Boeing’s C-17 Globemaster III, (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commercial_Application_of_Military_Airlift_Aircraft ) we worked with global logistics executives at major industrial firms to warn of this emergent danger to their global supply chains. As one would expect, their focus was on price, and not on service continuity vulnerability. Despite an observable reduction of systemic inefficiencies in air augmented supply chain simulations, they did not want to believe that the major shipping firms, most based in Asia, and very few of those operating U.S flagged ships; (http://www.americanmaritime.org/merchant/ ) would risk contract termination through denial of service. “Unfortunately, they were in denial of China’s oft-stated and underreported aspiration to become the dominant economic and military power, a fact quite clear to national security strategist Dr. Sheila Ronis when commenting on fellow strategist and former U.S. Naval College Professor Dr. Thomas P.M. Barnett’s New York Times bestselling book (2004) The Pentagon’s New Map: War and Peace in The 21st Century saying: “Global war begins with economic crises such as the major problems in Japan, the overheating of the China economy due to its insatiable, and now unstoppable appetite for raw material, and the continued instability within the Middle-East, compounded by the uncertainties of Iraqi War outcome. We are right now contending with macro-economic trends that are outstripping and outpacing any efforts to keep them in check. Crises not dissimilar to these in the 1930s directly led to World War II. Very similar and very dangerous. [Dr. W. Edwards] Deming once told me that Japan went to war because they thought their population was about to starve. Their backs were to the wall, and they felt they had no choice but to pursue this course in view of then existent US economic policies. ‘War is often the inevitable aftermath of negative economic forces on nations, and we have to be mindful of the difficulties facing multiple nations simultaneously, now, as then. We are seeing in real-time the viability of the ‘core’ and ‘gap’ scenarios postulated by Dr. Barnett in his book… Moreover, the Chinese view the global pie as a zero sum game; their win is a loss for the US in every category of the nation’s existence. However, if globalization is properly managed, the entire pie can grow. If it is not managed, that's when the industrial base could collapse. Conversely, the enemy is not globalization; it is, rather, the lack of managing it.” (http://www.thomaspmbarnett.com/weblog/2004/06/reviewing_the_reviews_gets_rev.html) (http://www.defenselink.mil/pubs/pdfs/China%20Report%202006.pdf) Global Supply Chain Vulnerability What is obvious, Stokes further notes, is that managing globalization, with particular emphasis on the supply chain and the manufacture of goods, is not currently the strong suite of the United States. “According to learned colleagues within industry and government, this must change in the near term, if not urgently, says Stokes. “Otherwise, the country will lose any chance of regaining its dominance as shaper of the geo-political and geo-economic landscape; the direct result of historically unparalleled industrial and military might. “It is imperative to recognize that the difficulties outlined above are not part of some distant tomorrow, but a clear and present danger. We have personal knowledge of the fact that both GM and Ford had their ocean-borne supply chains disrupted on the same day in 2004 due to a sudden unavailability of ships. In our view, that was no hiccup in the system, but a shot across the proverbial bow. “The negative ramifications of Communist China’s veritable control of ocean-borne shipping is exacerbated exponentially by its growth as a naval power capable of projecting power around the globe. Not only will they reserve the right to disrupt supply chains at whim within their territorial claims, such as the whole of the South China Sea, (note recent Chinese Sub, U.S. Destroyer John S. McCain “collision” in international waters that must be regarded as this year’s version of the EP3E incident) but will resort to a military option to support that right, however unsustainable in the World Court.” (United States China and Economic Security Review Commission, www.USCC.gov ) Stokes further says his certitude relative to China’s current and future actions stems in part from access to a scenario authored by Dr. Ronis, “Battle of The South China Sea: 2011” , (originally completed in September 2006) presented in the spring of 2008 at The Hudson Institute, Washington, D.C. (http://www.hudson.org/index.cfm?fuseaction=hudson_upcoming_events&id=536 ) As was noted on both The Hudson Institute and the Project on National Security Reform (PNSR) (http://www.pnsr.org/web/page/668/sectionid/579/pagelevel/2/interior.asp ) sites: “In this future scenario, hypothetical Chinese aggression towards Taiwan provokes a Sino-U.S. military confrontation. Initially, the technologically superior and network-centric American military is quickly devastated by the Chinese' ability to activate imbedded programming in small electronic connectors. This process effectively neutralizes the defense, attack, and navigation capabilities within every system on U.S. warships, submarines, and aircraft. Because Beijing controls two-thirds of the world's supply of these seemingly harmless connective devices, the Chinese are able to deliberately and strategically infiltrate the U.S. military and industrial base and target four of the military's primary weapons systems programs. The purpose of this scenario is to expose flaws and weaknesses within the current U.S. national security apparatus. It calls attention to potential dangers of overlooking current weaknesses in the U.S. defense industrial base and global supply chain. The text also highlights the importance of evaluating assumptions and continually assessing novel events.” An excerpt: South China Sea: 0700 Zulu. 6 May, 2011 “The US Seventh Fleet, led by the carrier USS Kitty Hawk (CV 63) has been deployed to send a strong message to China’s totalitarian leadership, who are amassing troops, aircraft and vessels for what is a apparently a full scale assault against Taiwan in accordance with the provision of the 2005 Non-Secession laws. Laws specifically crafted to legally permit an invasion of this tiny nation. “Years of preparation for such an invasion make the US-backed Taiwanese military a formidable foe, and it won’t be overrun easily. Nevertheless, competence in matters military and strength of will cannot withstand parity in capability and equal strength of will plus overwhelming numerical superiority within the People’s Liberation Army (PLA), Air Force (PLAAF) Navy (PLAN) and its air arm (PLANAF). “This disturbing reality is the basis of a foregone conclusion among US DoD planners that Taiwan’s fall is not a matter of if, but when. Which is exactly why the fleet was deployed the moment satellite ground imagery, growing communications traffic and human intelligence determined an attack against Taiwan was inevitable. “The US naval, air and ground force commanders have every reason to be in a successful outcome against a quite modernized Chinese force led by the 80,500 ton Yalu-class carrier Zhu Rongji. This force will soon include a Nimitz-class carrier of 101,000 ton displacement built under the direction of both Russian and French maritime architects and engineers, and is expected to deploy a full year in advance of the new CVN-78 class super carriers scheduled for 2014, whose presence rendered moot the argument of several defense analysts that the Chinese were not interested in near-term development of a blue water force capable of slugging it out with powerful US surface fleets deployed globally. The force also includes enhanced Sovremenny-class Destroyers equipped with new carrier killing ship to ship missiles, super-quiet Victor III-based nuclear-powered and very quiet Kilo-class diesel-electric submarines, and 60-knot Hydrofoil and Catamaran Littoral Combat Vessels, all equipped with now supersonic rocket torpedoes. “The US navy, recognizing the powerful threat represented by these Russian developed weapon systems in 2005, had worked for the past six years developing countermeasures, but even now, in 2011, the current generation weapon called Shkval (Squall) is tough to defeat. “In a surprising twist, help to counter this threat came from none other than Vladimir Putin himself, who realized in 2007 along with everyone else in the Russian government and military, that their prolonged and profound technological and tactical assistance programs to Chinese weapons development had put Russia at risk. The years of joint exercises and the comfort level felt, at least by the Russians, relative to ideological commonality, was nothing more than a means to a very large end by the Chinese. Indeed, the otherwise distrustful Russians had forgotten a signature Sun Tzu-ism: ‘Know yourself and know your enemy’”. Development of Scenario Data “In the course of my work as a Vision Working Group Leader within the Project on National Security Reform,” says Dr. Ronis, “a clear pattern began to emerge whereby China had been, and is, systematically engaging in data and technology acquisition activities designed to dramatically improve their position economically, militarily and geo-politically at levels previously underestimated. The recent prosecutions of U.S. residents with dual Chinese/American citizenry in sensitive areas of government and industry, is a mere microcosm of this decades old strategy as a whole. Indeed, China’s undeniable advancement as a nation that will not be ignored, has emboldened them to continue activities that, if left unchecked, will completely damage the United States’ industrial capabilities. This is because the US does not have a grand strategy for its economic viability. In fact, the US has no viable grand strategy, period; a situation we hope to ameliorate through the PNSR. “I have, with specificity, presented my assessments of these matters in testimony before The United States China Economic and Security Review Commission,” Ronis further stated. (www.USCC.gov); (http://www.uscc.gov/hearings/2006hearings/transcripts/july_17/06_07_17_ronis_supplemental.pdf) (http://www.uscc.gov/annual_report/2006/annual_report_full_06.pdf ) Availability of China Scenario; Theft of Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense System Academic, media and government organizations can request a copy of the full scenario through requests directly to Dr. Ronis, sronis@walshcollege.edu. This document, according to Dr. Ronis, has been vetted at several levels of government. Of further interest is that the scenario and support data confirms theft of the Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense System (BMD), and strongly suggests that F-22 Raptor, F-35 Lightning II and C-17, among other weapons systems, have been compromised through Chinese espionage activities. Stokes is convinced that now is the time for logistics executives within the U.S. and partner nations to aggressively pursue permanent air augmentation of their global supply chains, adding that these activities will become systemically interlinked with BC-17/AN-124-based heavylift operations once implemented. Not only will this create a welcome increase in aircraft acquisition and upgrades, but a lifeline on which to rely in increasingly uncertain times. “Permanent air augmentation of supply chain,” says Stokes, “Is an effective means by which a repeat of an Operation Sea Lion-type blockade of a country’s supply lines, such as that against Great Britain in 1940, can be effectively mitigated.” (http://www.slideshare.net/GHHLLC/superglobalism-strategies-for-maintaining-a-robust-industrial-base-through-technological-policy-and-process-improvement-presentation) http://www.slideshare.net/GHHLLC/speed-news-aerospace-and-defense-conference-an-usnato-controlled-heavylift-industry-utilizing-boeing-bc17-globemaster-iii-commericalmilitary-airlifters --30— About Global HeavyLift Holdings, LLC Founded in 2002, GHH is a strategic air transport solutions that was born of a multi-year public/private effort among forward thinkers in both the private sector and government to mitigate emerging and observable vulnerabilities in the U.S. industrial base global supply chain. Such vulnerabilities are represented by the fact that no ocean-borne shipping is in U.S. hands at present, thus potentially subjecting American corporations, especially automotive, and their global operations to the whims and perhaps economically hostile activities of and by foreign governments. Add to this the risk of terrorist activities, which have, according to the Department of Homeland Security, targeted maritime operations; i.e., ships, ports and ocean containers. Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) listed, it is the goal of GHH and its strategic partners around the planet to work with key logistics personnel within these corporations and government agencies to conceptualize, craft and structure long-term global supply chain alternative transportation methodologies through continuous -- not stop gap or emergency -- air augmentation solutions. Its most important mission, however, has been in the co-development of global architecture for infrastructure of a new American controlled industry, Heavylift, utilizing the excellent airlift performance characteristics of the Boeing BC-17. 74 W.
