Like the illusion of Wall Street, with its vast and powerful investment banks, now shuttered, China too is an illusion perpetuated by the Globalists that gave us the 15,000 mile Caesar salad, poisoned cat food and lead based paint on babies' pacifiers. Like the illusion that money would come from thin air to always push housing prices higher, China has spent a generation pursuing its illusion. Pursuing an unattainable dream to be like the West, while 6000 years of its carefully shepherded top soil blows into the sea.

Within a few decades, according to forecasts used by scientists at Linkoping University, in Sweden, a “peak phosphorus” crunch could represent a serious threat to agriculture as global reserves of high-quality phosphate rock go into terminal decline.

Because supplies of phosphates suitable for mining are so limited, a new geopolitical map may be drawn around the remaining reserves - a dynamic that would give a sudden boost to the global importance of Morocco, which holds 32 per cent of the world's proven reserves.

Beyond Morocco, the world's chief phosphorus reserves for export are concentrated in Western Sahara, South Africa, Jordan, Syria and Russia.

“Quite simply, without phosphorus we cannot produce food."

Secret contacts to speed up the building of an American military base in Morocco

After the attack on the French tourists in Mauritania, American intelligence had intensive contacts with Moroccan intelligence to speed up the secret ongoing negotiations between the both sides to move their military base from Stuttgart in Germany to an American military base in south Morocco.

The Moroccan side offered a place called “Cap Daraa” in Tanttan province in the Moroccan Sahara, an American intelligence Service delegation and a group of technicians visited the area and took aerial-photographs of the area to determine the exact location of the military base to their final report to the Pentagon.

The Americans preferred a Military base with free access to the sea so they can control the flow of arms to their base, Mauritania refused to host an American military base over the territory.

what we need to do, is stop mining our phosphorous, and start mining theirs.

Morocco would probably love to have all the extra money to come flowing in.

So long as we have large reserves, foreign countries can't threaten us with shortages.

It would make bargaining much easier for the West.

A little known but very serious problem. Expensive phosphorus and expensive natural gas will contribute to a serious increase in food prices within a 15-20 year timeframe.

Once again it's not just an oil crisis but a general resource crisis plus environmental crisis. As predicted by the Club of Rome over three decades ago.

Oh, everyone will be looking for the wonderful phosphorus rock. There is uranium in them there rocks!

The technology to extract uranium from the phosphoric acid in phosphates is developed and Uranium is more lucrative.

Perhaps you would pump some radioactive waste into those mines to make them unusable.
Hence you would make invasion by US unlikely.
