From time to time, approximate every three years or so, I am “visited” (or make contact with) a “person”.

These people say there are one thing, but are actually something else. For instance, a massive “billion dollar company” that is looking for a COO, or a businessman who works in China, and so forth. On the surface, it is an “interview”, or a “friendly meeting”, or something along those lines.

Its all very nice and cordial, and I absolutely respect the people that I meet with. Without exception.

But, not everyone is what they say they are. For certain, I have been approached by the “five eyes” under one excuse or the other, as well as some other entities.

My hunt for the truth was interesting as to all the “dead ends ” that it generated. That is a story in itself, I’ll tell you what. A multi-billion dollar company that has no employees, tax records, or products???

Anyways…

The overall impression that I get is that they are providing a “courtesy visit”. To Check off a box or two on a form. It doesn’t matter what organization or nation that they represent, as this seems to be the over all impression. Just “checking up on me”. As they know that I have a “past”, but it is so HYPER-BLACK that they don’t know what I did or was involved with.

Not that it matters mind you.

I am either a threat, or not.

To this, I must add that …

• They all KNOW that I was a W(U) – SAP “operator” for MAJ, (which is a branch of the ONI.) And I wiggled out of a retirement “cage”.
• That they also recognize that I was “traded upstairs” to a more powerful and hidden organization (of some type) to do some (under-specified) tasks. No one knows the details of.
• That I was properly “retired”. Closed off. Shut down. No longer in contact with anyone. Life in the USA is over.
• That I am probably inert / neutered at this point in time, though reactivation is possible if unlikely.
• That (as far as the “five eyes” are concerned), that I am out of their geographical pervue and thus not their concern, being relatively “harmless”.

That is my impression about the check-ups from the West. As far as my new home, and my love…

• I am sure that China (intelligence) is aware of me. Though, to the massive bureaucracy, I am just an innocent foreigner.
• Moreover, China considers me to be exactly what I say I am. They do not consider me to be a threat, but rather as a friendly “neutral”.

All in all, I’m like one of those footnotes at the end of a book. Useful if a more in-depth study is required, but often enough ignored as there will probably not be any active contemporaneous participation or contribution in my regard.

Overall, I cannot provide any useful assistance to any agency or government. What I actually did is beyond the utility and use of anyone. I am just a fellow with an interesting story.

What I can do is remind everyone that there are powers that control what we think our reality is. And there are powers that control them. And powers above them that control even that. And finally, there are the powers that I was a part of.

From everyone’s point of view. Let sleeping dogs lie.

…

The Woke movement is ending long standing American institutions on every level. The latest battlefront is DISNEY…

It is nuts.

What Edward Snowden just said about UFO’s is TERRIFYING and should concern all of us

Edward Snowden now has access to some of the most closely kept secrets in the country as a former CIA employee and NSA contractor. And so, as any inquisitive mind with access to the CIA’s equivalent of Google might do, he looked for solutions to some of the most important questions asked by society. Attention Area 51 Stormers, chemtrail believers, and doubters of climate change: Edward Snowden has discovered information regarding UFOs that should worry us all.

How did China import so many chips from Vietnam when there was an export ban in place?

Vietnam?

No

China imported a huge amount of NVDIA top memory chips bypassing sanctions in 2023 and that has resulted in a congressional inquiry against NVDIA

The way they did so is simply using brand name and model

NVDIA specifically had a grade of Memory Chips made for the Chinese market that was 98–99% of the grade of those Memory Chips that were restricted

Both NVDIA and China estimated a ban almost 2 years earlier

These Chips were not on the ban list but almost 99% effective and thus NVDIA decided to export and China purchased a whopping amount of Chips

China’s import rose 27% YoY of these Chips

They take care of China’s supply upto 2024 December and keep China’s plans intact until then

The US was INCANDESCENT WITH RAGE

That’s how Sanctions are by passed

The Tech companies ensure they have a specific variant of the product that conveniently by passes sanctions and they sell that in huge numbers to China and keep their profits alive

Another thing was NVDIAs sales to Singapore soared by 111% from 2019–2023 and I can bet most of the those Chips are re exported to China

SNOW WHITE PLOT LEAKS ARE HYSTERICAL!

Do people know that America has the greatest education in the world?

Wrong. First of all, public education in the USA has been declining for decades. Student test scores are in the toilet.

The average American is borderline illiterate.

Second, American universities are widely regarded as the best because of marketing. Schools like Harvard, MIT, Stanford, Yale, etc. are prestigious by reputation. This reputation may have been earned a long, long time ago but today most of these schools are coasting on their names.

Let’s look at the list of universities ranked by the quality of their scientific research. According to the CWTS Leiden Ranking 2023 , most of the universities that produce the most scientifically impactful research are Chinese — that’s 16 out of the top 25 universities!

I’m totally stunned that MIT, Caltech, and Princeton aren’t in the top 25.

If all you care about is a good-looking resumé, then, sure, choose an Ivy League US school. But if you want a good education, choose a Chinese university.

The UFO Incident That Shocked Ariel School: Telepathic Extraterrestrials

September 14th, 1994 was a quiet night in Zimbabwe. Then suddenly, boom! An explosion startled people all over the country.

Windows rattled. Doors shook.

Shocked and confused, people sheepishly stepped outside to see what happened.

Everything looked fine. They went back inside. But one woman wasn’t satisfied.

Cynthia Hind drove around the capital city of Harare, searching for the source of the sound but, nothing seemed unusual.

But back at home, Cynthia’s phone rang relentlessly. She was a UFO investigator and witness reports were coming in one after another.

The news claimed the sound was a sonic boom caused by a meteor shower. But Cynthia wasn’t so sure.

Eyewitnesses near Lake Kariba described bizarre lights in the sky earlier that week.

Lights in a row that moved erratically: fast then slow. First north to south. Then east to southwest. Meteors don’t do that.

Cynthia suspected there was much more to the story. And two days later, she’d find out that she was right.

CNL

My boss was friends with a guy who had been a tunnel rat in the Vietnam War. The guy wasn’t much to look at…he looked like Chuck Norris’s skinny brother. My boss swore up and down this guy was a badass.

One night my boss invited me and my girlfriend to meet him and his lady and his friend and his friend’s wife to hang out at a place where there was dinner and dancing.

We’ll call this guy Chuck Norris Lite…(CNL for short).

CNL’s wife saw an old boyfriend of hers. When the old boyfriend saw she was there, he got up from his table and headed to ours to say hi. At first he was cool, but within a few minutes, he started talking crap…things like how they shouldn’t have broken up, he was better looking than CNL, she needed a real man, and other insults to CNL. Pretty sure he was drunk.

CNL listened to the insults and played it off. He didn’t need the fight, he had the girl.

Then the ex asked her to dance. She said, “No, if I want to dance, I’ll dance with my husband.” A clear clue to him to back off. He didn’t take it.

He protested and wouldn’t take no for an answer. CNL did not get angry. He quietly said, “You heard my wife say no. Take a hike.”

It was then the ex made the mother of all mistakes. He said, “F**k you, p***y. What you going to do about it?” AND SLAPPED THE BACK OF HIS HEAD.

CNL didn’t even get up from his chair. He moved quickly, taking his right hand and doing a palm strike under his left armpit straight into the ex’s stomach. The ex dropped to his knees, and then CNL’s left elbow got him in the nose. The ex slumped to the floor out cold. After a few minutes, he got up and staggered for the door.

About twenty minutes later, the cops came in and approached the table. CNL went over and talked to them, motioned to his wife; she talked to them, they nodded, shook hands and left.

The ex had left and called the cops (this was in the days of phone booths). The officer in charge knew CNL as they both took martial arts classes together. The OIC (Officer In Charge) went back out and told the ex he was at fault, and to take his whuppin’ like a man and go home. He did so.

I was mightily impressed. Any man who can kick your butt and not even get up from his chair is a badass in my book.

MIND BLOWING – American Youth Knows NOTHING (American reaction)

The USA has collapsed.

I heard a lot about “rule-based international order”, what are the rules to be specific? What happened to the countries that break these rules?

Make us simple.

Rule No*1 Every nation on earth must be subservient and submissive to the U.S. and the west.

Rule No*2 The US and its cronies are allowed to steal, loot and plunder from everyone else.

Rule No*3 The US and the west decides who can sell, who can buy, who can live, who should die, which nation will be bomb and which nation to spare. Who to sanction and for how long.

How real is the possibility of a Chinese attack on Taiwan?

Low

Very Low

China has no urgency to invade Taiwan

China has no urgency to get into armed conflict with anyone

China would rather be the ‘Peacemaker’ for the world and slowly portray the US and the West as ruthless warmongers

China would like to send a message to the Taiwanese that they would benefit with a Mainland Union instead of lackeyship with the US

Plus the Chinese don’t like being baited and would certainly not plunge into a war where the US can force Taiwanese to keep dying just like they are doing to Ukraine

They will have to bleed the US first and weaken the West

Or rather give them a long rope to hang themselves

---

What if Taiwan declare Independence?

Even then I don’t think China will invade

It will prefer to fight through UN and BRI and trade related import embargos than invade while simultaneously activating it’s agents in Taiwan to protest and cause violence

Iran, Russia and Saudi will choke off Crude Exports

None of these nations need 7 nm chips exactly

Chinese Shipping will be stopped and LNG Containers

Mainland will offer a chance to many Taiwanese to come to the Mainland and many will come

Then China will defeat the Usurpers from Within Taiwan

This Is The Worst City We’ve Ever Seen…

Why do the Chinese believe their own government over the rest of the world?

Overkill!!!

The Western Media became too ridiculous after a point and their propaganda became an open joke to all mainlanders

Initially it’s probable that they believed the Western media reports. They probably believed in the treatment of Uyghurs and the camps and all that stuff.

I remember China closing off Xinjiang for a few years after those bad ETIM days and that was when the propaganda was seriously being believed by the locals

However the stories became more and more ridiculous and suddenly it was just too unbelievable

It’s logical to assume Uyghurs are placed in a camp and re-educated and their culture is being destroyed

However to imagine women being impregnated by other men, drinking blood — these stories became so unbelievable that the Mainlanders began to wonder if indeed the earlier stories were lies too.

And as a master stroke China opened up travel to Xinjiang even for foreigners and invited muslim dignitaries to visit the province along with youtubers

Slowly Chinese Media & Social Media celebrities posted on Xinjiang and said “There is nothing here. It’s all lies”

Once this disbelief was generated, China began to slowly believe that the entire Western media was full of lies which served extremely well for the CPC

Today most Mainlanders don’t trust Western media or twitter on any news from China

They trust Taiwanese media or Singaporean Media much more when it comes to foreign media.

---

So basically Overkill

In 2001, I believed the BJP when they said at 8:00 AM that Mr Karunanidhi was arrested and there was a Law and order problem

Then I walked out and all stores were open , buses were plying, things were as normal as they could be

Then I walked home and heard Arun Jaitley then a spokesperson for the BJP saying “There was a Reign of Terror in TN and nobody could put a foot on the road due to riots”

Immediately I knew it was fully a lie

Once you know a lie, you keep wondering whether the lie will be repeated

Same with Western Media

They lied so much that the Chinese no longer trust them even if they tell the truth

What is the worst case of a spoiled person you have ever seen?

When I was in college, my middle-class-roots fiance lived in a fraternity house with some relatively wealthy people.

One particular person sticks out for me as the high bar for spoiled behavior.

He had a penchant for wearing Calvin Klein Boxer Briefs:

They were roughly $25 each, (and this was before you could buy them at Costco.)

He sent out his laundry to be washed and folded (and dry cleaned), and never did any of it himself, but he absolutely *refused* to have anyone touch his underwear. In fact, because of this, he *refused* to wear the same pair more than once.

So, every single day, he would open a brand new, $25 pair of underwear.

And, every single day, he would throw out yesterday’s underwear.

If someone happened to touch his underwear for any reason, there would be another change.

He was ordering them by the case.

No one else has ever even come close to this on my spoiled-o-meter.

---

How do I know this?

His fraternity brothers, always happy to scrounge through the garbage, noticed that perfectly good underwear was going to waste. So they all stocked up. And then when they all (and I mean all) had more than enough underwear to go around, and there was still an endless supply, they started an underground underwear selling ring.

Part of me chuckles everytime I see this:

because I absolutely believe that it is a reference to what actually went on in this specific Ivy League frat house.

The Looming War Against China

Economic Logic has been Replaced by National Security Overrides

Michael Hudson • July 22, 2023

The July NATO summit in Vilnius had the feeling of a funeral, as if they had just lost a family member – Ukraine. To clear away NATO’s failure to drive Russia out of Ukraine and move NATO right up to the Russian border, its members tried to revive their spirits by mobilizing support for the next great fight – against China, which is now designated as their ultimate strategic enemy. To prepare for this showdown, NATO announced a commitment to extend their military presence all the way to the Pacific.

The plan is to carve away China’s military allies and trading partners, above all Russia, starting with the fight in Ukraine. President Biden has said that this war will be global in scope and will take many decades as it expands to ultimately isolate and break up China.

The U.S.-imposed sanctions against trade with Russia are a dress rehearsal for imposing similar sanctions against China. But only the NATO allies have joined the fight. And instead of wrecking Russia’s economy and “turning the ruble to rubble” as President Biden predicted, NATO’s sanctions have made it more self-reliant, increasing its balance of payments and international monetary reserves, and hence the ruble’s exchange rate.

To cap matters, despite the failure of trade and financial sanctions to injure Russia – and indeed, despite NATO’s failures in Afghanistan and Libya, NATO countries committed themselves to trying the same tactics against China. The world economy is to be split between US/NATO/Five Eyes on the one hand, and the rest of the world – the Global Majority – on the other. EU Commissioner Joseph Borrell calls this as a split between the US/European Garden (the Golden Billion) and the Jungle threatening to engulf it, like an invasion of its well-manicured lawns by an invasive species.

From an economic vantage point, NATO’s behavior since its military buildup to attack Ukraine’s Russian-speaking eastern states in February 2022 has been a drastic failure. The U.S. plan was to bleed Russia and leave it so economically destitute that its population would revolt, throw Vladimir Putin out of office and restore a pro-Western neoliberal leader who would pry Russia away from its alliance with China – and then proceed with America’s grand plan to mobilize Europe to impose sanctions on China.

What makes it so difficult in trying to evaluate where NATO, Europe and the United States are going is that the traditional assumption that nations and classes will act in their economic self-interest is not of help. The traditional logic of geopolitical analysis is to assume that business and financial interests steer almost every nation’s politics. The ancillary assumption is that governing officials have a fairly realistic understanding of the economic and political dynamics at work. Forecasting the future is thus usually an exercise in spelling out these dynamics.

The US/NATO West has led this global fracture, yet it will be the big loser. NATO members already have seen Ukraine deplete their inventory of guns and bullets, artillery and ammunition, tanks, helicopters weapons and other arms accumulated over five decades. But Europe’s loss has become America’s sales opportunity, creating a vast new market for America’s military-industrial complex to re-supply Europe. To gain support, the United States has sponsored a new way of thinking about international trade and investment. The focus has shifted to “national security,” meaning to secure a U.S.-centered unipolar order.

The world is dividing into two blocs: a post-industrial US/NATO vs the Global Majority

U.S. diplomats became increasingly worried as Germany and other European countries came to rely on imported Russian gas, oil and fertilizer as the basis for its steel, glass-making and other industries. They became even more worried as China had become the “workshop of the world” while the U.S. economy de-industrialized. The fear was that growth by China and its neighboring Eurasian countries benefiting from the Belt and Road expansion threatened to make that part of the world the main growth area, and hence a magnet for European investment. The logical prospect was that politics would follow economic interest at the expense of America’s ability to maintain a unipolar world economy with the dollar at its financial center and trade subject to U.S. protectionist unilateralism.

By joining America’s crusade to destroy the Russian economy and promote regime change, Germany’s and other European countries’ refusal to trade with Russia has destroyed the basic energy foundation of their industry. Destruction of the Nord Stream pipeline has plunged the German and other European economies into depression involving widespread bankruptcies and unemployment. In place of Russian gas, the NATO countries must now pay up to six times as high a price for U.S. liquified natural gas (LNG), and must build new port facilities to physically import this gas.

The European leaders sponsored and financed by U.S. election meddling over the past seventy years have done what Boris Yeltsin did in Russia in the 1990s: They have agreed to sacrifice Europe’s industrial economies and end what had been its profitable trade and investment integration with Russia and China.

The next step is for Europe and the United States to stop trading and investing with China, despite the fact that these NATO countries have benefited from the flowering of this trade, relying on it for a wide range of consumer goods and industrial inputs. That line of prosperous trade is now to be ended. NATO’s leaders have announced that importing Russian gas and other raw materials (including helium and many metals) runs the “risk” of becoming dependent – as if Russia or China might find it in their economic or political interest to abort this trade simply to hurt Europe and to do to it what the United States has been doing to force it into submission.

But submission to what? The answer is, submission to the logic of mutual gains along lines leaving the U.S. economy behind!

By trying to prevent other countries from following this logic, U.S. and European NATO diplomacy has brought about exactly what U.S. supremacists most feared. Instead of crippling the Russian economy to create a political crisis and perhaps breakup of Russia itself in order to isolate it from China, the US/NATO sanctions have led Russia to re-orient its trade away from NATO countries to integrate its economy and diplomacy more closely with China and other BRICS members.

Ironically, the US/NATO policy is forcing Russia, China and their BRICS allies to go their own way, starting with a united Eurasia. This new core of China, Russia and Eurasia with the Global South are creating a mutually beneficial multipolar trade and investment sphere.

By contrast, European industry has been devastated. Its economies have become thoroughly and abjectly dependent on the United States – at a much higher cost to itself than was the case with its former trade partners. European exporters have lost the Russian market, and are now following U.S. demands that they abandon and indeed reject the Chinese market. Also to be rejected in due course are markets in the BRICS membership, which is expanding to include Near Eastern, African and Latin American countries.

Instead of isolating Russia and China and making them dependent on U.S. economic control, U.S. unipolar diplomacy has isolated itself and its NATO satellites from the rest of the world – the Global Majority that is growing while NATO economies are rushing ahead along their Road to Deindustrialization. The remarkable thing is that while NATO warns of the “risk” of trade with Russia and China, it does not see its loss of industrial viability and economic sovereignty to the United States as a risk.

This is not what the “economic interpretation of history” would have forecast. Governments are expected to support their economy’s leading business interests. So we are brought back to the question of whether economic factors will determine the shape of world trade, investment and diplomacy. Is it really possible to create a set of post-economic NATO economies whose members will come to look much like the rapidly depopulating and de-industrializing Baltic states and post-Soviet Ukraine?

This would be a strange kind of “national security” indeed. In economic terms it seems that the U.S. and European strategy of self-isolation from the rest of the world is so massive and far-reaching an error that its effects are the equivalent of a world war.

Today’s fighting against Russia on the Ukrainian front can be thought of as the opening campaign in World War III. In many ways it is an outgrowth of World War II and its aftermath that saw the United States establish international economic and political organizations to operate in its own national self-interest. The International Monetary Fund imposes U.S. financial control and helps dollarize the world economy. The World Bank lends dollars to governments to build export infrastructure to subsidize US/NATO investors in control of oil, mining and natural resources, and to promote trade dependency on U.S. farm exports while promoting plantation agriculture, instead of domestic food-grain production. The United States insists on having veto power in all international organizations that it joins, including the United Nations and its agencies.

The creation of NATO is often misunderstood. Ostensibly, it depicted itself as a military alliance, originally to defend against the thought that the Soviet Union might have some reason to conquer Western Europe. But NATO’s most important role was to use “national security” as the excuse to override European domestic and foreign policy and subordinate it to U.S. control. Dependency on NATO was written into the European Union’s constitution. Its objective was to make sure that European party leaders followed U.S. direction and opposed left-wing or anti-American politics, pro-labor policies and governments strong enough to prevent control by a U.S.-client financial oligarchy.

NATO’s economic program has been one of adherence to neoliberal financialization, privatization, government deregulation and imposing austerity on labor. EU regulations prevent governments from running a budget deficit of more than 3% of GDP. That blocks Keynesian-type policies to spur recovery. Today, higher military arms costs and government subsidy of energy prices is forcing European governments to cut back social spending. Bank policy, trade policy and domestic lawmaking are following the same U.S. neoliberal model that has deindustrialized the American economy and loaded it down with debt to the financial sector in whose hands most wealth and income is now concentrated.

Abandoning economic self-interest for “national security” dependence on the US

The post-Vilnius world treats trade and international relations not as economic, but as “national security.” Any form of trade is the “risk” of being cut off and destabilized. The aim is not to make trade and investment gains, but to become self-reliant and independent. For the West, this means isolating China, Russia and the BRICS in order to depend fully on the United States. So for the United States, its own security means making other countries dependent on itself, so that U.S. diplomats won’t lose control of their military and political diplomacy.

Treating trade and investment with other countries than the United States as involving “risk,” ipso facto, is a projection of how U.S. diplomacy has imposed sanctions on countries that resist U.S. domination, privatization and subordination of their economies to U.S. takeover. The fear that trade with Russia and China will lead to political dependency is a fantasy. The aim of the emerging Eurasian, BRICS and Global South alliance is to benefit from foreign trade with each other for mutual gain, with governments strong enough to treat money and banking as public utilities, along with the basic monopolies needed to provide normal human rights, including health care and education, and keeping monopolies such as transportation and communication in the public domain to keep the costs of living and doing business low instead of charging monopoly prices.

Anti-China hate has come especially from Annalena Baerbock, Germany’s Foreign Minister. NATO is warned to “de-risk” trade with China. The “risks” are that (1) China can cut off key exports, just as the US cut off European access to Russian oil exports; and (2) exports could potentially be used to support China’s military power. Almost any economic export COULD be military, even food to feed a Chinese army.

Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen’s trip to China likewise explained that all trade has a military potential and thus has a national-security element. All trade has a military potential, even selling food to China could be used to feed soldiers.

The US/NATO demand is that Germany and other European countries should impose an Iron Curtain against trade with China, Russia and their allies in order to “de-risk” trade. Yet only the US has imposed trade sanctions on other countries, not China and other Global South countries. The real risk is not that China will impose trade sanctions to disrupt European economies, but that the United States will impose sanctions on countries breaking the US-sponsored trade boycott.

This “trade is risk” view treats foreign trade not in economic terms but in “National Security” terms. In practice, “national security” means joining the U.S. attempt to maintain its unipolar control of the entire world’s economy. No risk is acknowledged for re-orienting European gas and energy trade to U.S. companies. The risk is said to be trade with countries that U.S. diplomats deem “autocracies,” meaning nations with active government infrastructure investment and regulation instead of U.S.-style neoliberalism.

The world is dividing into two blocs – with quite different economic philosophies

Only the United States has imposed trade sanctions on other countries. And only the United States has rejected international free trade rules as national security threats to US economic and military control. At first glance the resulting global fracture between US/NATO on the one hand and the expanding BRICS alliance of Russia, China, Iran and the Global South might seem to be a conflict between capitalism and socialism (that is, state socialism in a mixed economy with public regulation in labor’s interests).

But that contrast between capitalism and socialism is not helpful upon closer examination. The problem lies in what the word “capitalism” has come to mean in today’s world. Back in the 19^th and early 20^th century, industrial capitalism was expected to evolve toward socialism. The U.S. and other industrial economies welcomed and indeed pressed for their governments to subsidize a widening range of basic services at public expense instead of obliging employers to bear the costs of hiring labor that had to pay for basic needs such as health care and education. Monopoly pricing was avoided by keeping natural monopolies such as railroads and other transportation, telephone systems and other communications, parks and other services as public utilities. Having governments instead of business and its employees pay for these services increased the global competitiveness of national industry in the resulting mixed economies.

China has followed this basic approach of industrial capitalism, with socialist politics to uplift its labor force, not merely the wealth of industrial capitalists – much less bankers and absentee landlords and monopolists. Most important, it has industrialized banking, creating credit to finance tangible investment in means of production, not the kind of predatory and unproductive credit characterized by today’s finance capitalism.

But the mixed-economy policy of industrial capitalism is not the way in which capitalism evolved in the West since World War I. Rejecting classical political economy and its drive to free markets from the vested rent-extracting classes inherited from feudalism – a hereditary landlord class, a financial banking class and monopolists – the rentier sector has fought back to reassert its privatization of land rent, interest and monopoly gains. It sought to reverse progressive taxation, and indeed to give tax favoritism to financial wealth, landlords and monopolists. The Finance, Insurance and Real Estate (FIRE) sector has become the dominant interest and economic planner under today’s finance capitalism. That is why economies are often called neofeudal (or euphemized as neoliberal).

Throughout history the dynamics of financialization have polarized wealth and income between creditors and debtors, leading to oligarchies. As interest-bearing debt grows exponentially, more and more income of labor and business must be paid as debt service. That financial dynamic shrinks the domestic market for goods and services, and the economy suffers from deepening debt-ridden austerity.

The result is de-industrialization as economies polarize between creditors and debtors. That has occurred most notoriously in Britain in the wake of Margaret Thatcher and the New [Anti-]Labour Party of Tony Blair and Gordon Brown’s “light touch” deregulatory approach to financial manipulation and outright fraud.

The United States has suffered an equally devastating shift of wealth and income to the Finance, Insurance and Real Estate (FIRE) sectors in the wake of Ronald Reagan’s tax cuts for the wealthy, anti-government deregulation, Bill Clinton’s “Third Way” takeover by Wall Street. The “Third Way” was neither industrial capitalism nor socialism, but finance capitalism making its gains both by stripping and indebting industry and labor of income. The new Democratic Party ideology of deregulated finance was capped by the massive bank-fraud collapse of 2008 and Barack Obama’s protection of junk-mortgage lenders and wholesale foreclosures on their financial victims. Economic planning and policy was shifted from governments to Wall Street and other financial centers – which had taken control of in government, the central bank and regulatory agencies.

U.S. and British diplomats are seeking to promote this predatory pro-financial and inherently anti-industrial economic philosophy to the rest of the world. But this ideological evangelism is threatened by the obvious contrast between the US-British failed and de-industrialized economies compared to China’s remarkable economic growth under industrial socialism.

This contrast between China’s economic success and the NATO West’s “garden” of debt-ridden austerity is the essence of today’s campaign by the West against the “Jungle” countries seeking political independence from U.S. diplomacy so as to uplift their living standards. This ideological and inherently political global war is today’s counterpart to the religious wars that tore European countries apart for many centuries.

We are witnessing what seems to be an inexorable Decline of the West. U.S. diplomats have been able to tighten their economic, political and military control leadership over their European NATO allies. Their easy success in this aim has led them to imagine that somehow they can conquer the rest of the world despite de-industrializing and loading their economies so deeply in debt that there is no foreseeable way in which they can pay their official debt to foreign countries or indeed have much to offer.

The traditional imperialism of military conquest and financial conquest is ended

There has been a sequence of tactics for a lead-nation to carve out an empire. The oldest way is by military conquest. But you can’t occupy and take over a country without an army, and the US has no army large enough. The Vietnam War ended the draft. So it must rely on foreign armies like Al Qaeda, ISIS, and most recently Ukraine and Poland, just as it relies on foreign industrial manufactures. Its armaments are depleted and it cannot mobilize a domestic army to occupy any country. The US has only one weapon: Missiles and bombs can destroy, but cannot occupy but not occupy and take over a country.

The second way to create imperial power was by economic power to make other countries dependent on U.S. exports. After World War II the rest of the world was devastated and was bullied into accepting U.S. diplomacy maneuvering to give its economy a monopoly on basic needs. Agriculture became a major weapon to create foreign dependency. The World Bank would not support foreign countries growing their own food, but pressed for plantation export crops, and fought land reform. And for oil and energy trade, U.S. companies and their NATO allies in Britain and Holland (British Petroleum and Shell) controlled the world’s oil trade. Control of world oil trade has been a central aim of US trade diplomacy.

This strategy worked for US assertion of control over Germany and other NATO countries, by blowing up the Nord Stream pipeline and severing Western Europe from access to Russian gas, oil, fertilizer and also crops. Europe has now entered an industrial depression and economic austerity as its steel industry and other leading sectors are invited to emigrate to the United States, along with European skilled labor.

Today, electronic technology and computer chips have been a focal point of establishing global Economic Dependency on U.S. technology. The United States aims to monopolize “intellectual property” and extract economic rent from charging high prices) for high-technology computer chips, communications, and arms production.

But the United States has deindustrialized and let itself become dependent on Asian and other countries for its products, instead of making them dependent on the US. This trade dependency is what makes U.S. diplomats feel “insecure,” worrying that other countries might seek to use the same coercive trade and financial diplomacy that the United States has been wielding since 1944-45.

The United States is left with one remaining tactic to control other countries: trade sanctions, imposed by it and its NATO satellites in an attempt to disrupt economies that do not accept U.S. unipolar economic, political and military dominance. It has persuaded the Netherlands to block sophisticated chip-engraving machinery to China, and other countries to block anything that might contribute to China’s economic development. A new American industrial protectionism is being framed in terms of national security grounds.

If China’s trade policy were to mirror that of U.S. diplomacy, it would stop supplying NATO countries with mineral and metal exports needed to produce the computer chips and allied inputs that America’s economy needs to wield its global diplomacy.

The US is so heavily debt-laden, its housing prices are so high and its medical care is so extremely high (18% of GDP) cannot compete. It cannot re-industrialize without taking radical steps to write down debts, to de-privatize health care and education, to break up monopolies and restore progressive taxation. The vested Financial, Insurance and Real Estate (FIRE sector) interests are too powerful to permit these reforms.

That makes the U.S. economy a failed economy, and America a Failed State.

In the wake of World War II the United States accumulated 75% of the world’s monetary gold by 1950. That enabled it to impose dollarization on the world. But today, nobody knows whether the U.S. Treasury and New York Federal Reserve have any gold that has not been pledged to private buyers and speculators? The worry is that it has sold European central-bank gold reserves. Germany has asked for its gold reserves to be flown back from New York, but the United States said that it was unavailable, and Germany was too timid to make its worries and complaints public.

America’s financial quandary is even worse when one tries to imagine how it can ever pay its foreign debt for countries seeking to draw down their dollars. The United States can only print its own currency. It is not willing to sell off its domestic assets, as it demands that other debtor countries do?

What can other countries accept in place of gold? One form of assets that may be taken as collateral are U.S. investments in Europe and other countries. But if foreign governments seek to do this, U.S. officials may retaliate by seizing their investments in the United States. A mutual grabbing would occur.

The United States is trying to monopolize electronic technology. The problem is that this requires raw-materials inputs whose production presently is dominated by China, above all rare-earth metals (which are abundant but environmentally destructive to refine), gallium, nickel (China dominates the refining), and Russian helium and other gasses used for engraving computer chips. China recently announced that on August 1 it will start restricting these key exports. It indeed has the ability to cut off supplies of vital materials and technology to the West, to protect itself from the West’s “national-security” sanctions against China. That is the self-fulfilling prophecy that U.S. warnings of a trade fight has created.

If U.S. diplomacy strongarms its NATO-garden allies to boycott China’s Huawei technology, Europe will be left with a less efficient, more expensive alternative – whose consequences help separate it from China, the BRICS and what has become the World Majority in a self-reliant alignment much broader than was created by Sukarno in 1954.

BREAKING NEWS: CUBA ANNOUNCES IT IS READY TO ACCEPT RUSSIAN MISSILES (AGAIN) AS RUSSIAN NAVY ARRIVES 90 MILES FROM U.S. COAST

World Hal Turner 25 July 2023

The “Vice-Admiral Kulakov,” an Udalay-class Destroyer of the Russian Navy has arrived in Cuba for an official visit for the first time in a long time, and there is dangerous news for the United States . . .

Shortly before the Russian navy warship arrived, talks were held between the leaders of Cuba and Russia and their defense ministries. The result is statements to strengthen not only economic cooperation, but also military-technical cooperation.

According to American military experts, this could mean the return of Russia to Cuba with all the resulting consequences: the deployment of Russian troops and long-range missiles.

This will be a decisive Russian response to the threats posed by the expansion of NATO’s presence in Northern Europe and Japan.

Earlier, Cuban leader Miguel Díaz-Canel strongly condemned the entry into NATO of new members bordering Russia. “In light of hostile actions by the (NATO) alliance, Cuba is ready to place Russian missiles on its territory, again.”

COVERT INTEL INDICATES CARGO SHIPS IN RUSSIA, “WITH A PRE-FILED TRANSIT ROUTE TO CUBA, “SEEM TO BE” IN PROCESS OF BEING LOADED WITH COMPONENTS FROM RUSSIAN MISSILE MANUFACTURING FACTORIES” 

Readers should note that back in 1962, the then-Soviet Union placed Medium Range and Intermediate Range nuclear missiles in Cuba with a five minute flight time to Washington, DC.  This resulted in the “Cuban Missile Crisis” wherein then U.S. President John F. Kennedy, imposed a naval blockade of Cuba and began massing U.S. troops in Florida for an invasion of Cuba to destroy those missiles.

For the 13 days when the crisis erupted, the world stood on the precipice of actual nuclear war.  The US had blockaded Cuba and was massing troops.  The Soviets faced a choice with the missiles: USE THEM or LOSE THEM.

This brief compilation of scenes from the Hollywood Movie “13 Days” briefly lays out how things went back then:

Of course, the movie is a dramatization. Compressing Thirteen Days into 145 minutes necessitates distortion of many specific historical facts. But the central themes of the movie and the principal “takeaways” are essentially faithful to what happened when JFK and Khrushchev stood “eyeball to eyeball” in 1962.

Back then, Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev agreed to dismantle and remove those missiles, and the US agreed to remove its “Jupiter” missiles from deployment in Turkey, where they were aimed at the Soviet Union.

Today, the U.S. wants to bring Ukraine into NATO . . . to place US missiles on Ukraine soil . . . with a five minute flight time to Moscow.   Same situation as the Cuban Missile Crisis, but in reverse!

Russia told Ukraine “no.”  Ukraine ignored Russia.  The Russian Army went in and is now smashing Ukraine.

The US and NATO are supplying Ukraine with weapons to kill Russians, so the Russians are now sending naval vessels to Cuba and Cuba says it is willing to accept Russian missiles.

Same type of crisis as in 1962, only this time, it was the US and NATO that started it by trying to bring Ukraine into NATO, so as to put US missiles in Ukraine.

This time, the prospect for actual nuclear war is very much greater because the fighting has already begun in Ukraine.

What The F*ck Is Going On Here?

Very strange.

Is China waiting for the right time to invade Taiwan?

Yes

Chinese believe in Favorable Winds

Chinese also believe in ‘Being Chinese’

Taiwanese ARE CHINESE

Eventually there will be reunification

---

Today the Chinese don’t want an Invasion barring very very rare circumstances

Neither MAINLANDERS nor Taiwanese want a straits war

Right now they are just slowly coming out of the three year lockdown and waking up from a slumbering economy to a global scenario where half the world is heading to recession

Plus their property values are upto 35% lower today and that’s pretty upsetting

This is hardly time to discuss a war or invasion

---

The US is dying

In maybe 2 decades it will be a retired country , strong and powerful yet no longer the hegemon

China is still very much surging and two decades later will be immensely powerful and control over 50% of the Global Value Chain

Point is CHINA CAN AFFORD TO BE PATIENT

USA CANNOT

---

Right now the US is doing all it can to provoke China into some action against Taiwan

Yet China has the time and so doesn’t react too much

US is losing the time fast. It’s power and influence are reducing faster than people think.

China will only invade if Taiwan declare Independence but that will be done only if US provoke Taiwan into doing so through tame politicians like Tsai or her successor

“Don’t even THINK about it!” China issues warning to CIA over spies | Redacted with Clayton Morris

China is warning that it is not going to sit still while the U.S. rebuilds its spy network inside of its borders. Between 2010 and 2012, China killed or imprisoned between 18 and 20 CIA sources. Recently, CIA Director William Burns said that the agency was rebuilding that network and China says that they will not just let that happen.

Have you ever had a kid behind you on an airplane kicking the seat the entire flight?

Not me, but a passenger across the aisle from me. The nasty little piece of business, about 9 or 10 years old, seated behind him, kicked his seat a number of times. The man turned around and very politely asked to the kid to stop kicking his seat. The kid’s Karen of a mother told the man not to tell her kid what to do, in an imperious & entitled tone. The passenger then ask the mother to take her kid in hand and stop him kicking his seat. The mother essentially said that the kid could do what he liked. The passenger whose seat was being kicked explained to the mother that he was of a nervous disposition, and every time the kid kicked the back of his seat, it startled him. Karen didn’t really care. The offended passenger sat quietly & asked the FA for a cup of coffee. The coffee came. The man was holding it when the little brat kicked his seat again. The man jumped in his seat and dumped his coffee backwards all over the mother – accidentally of course 🤪. The entitled Karen called the FA who simply said that the offended passenger had explained that he was a nervous flyer, and when the back of his seat was kicked, he started, and it was an unfortunate happening, but the mother could’ve anticipated it if she did not take her little brat in hand. The kicking stopped, amidst a few muffled chuckles from the passengers in the immediate area

Life In The 1970s For Kids!

The 70s was a time when kids spent the majority of their time outside playing. They made friends with other neighborhood kids and they did all sorts of things together. This was a time when most kids didn’t have a video game system until the very end of the decade. Home computer systems for kids were almost unheard of. In this video we will discuss life in the 1970s for kids prior to those becoming much larger in the 1980s.

Have you ever refused an inheritance? Why?

Yes. My brother died last September without signing his will (they had it filled out but he didn’t sign it).

I have helped his widow out with cleaning the house.

Because he was intestate, I’m technically entitled to 25% of his inheritance under my state law as our parents are dead, but he was married (75/25 split by law).

He literally told me he wanted everything to go to his wife, who I would consider my sister now.

I’m not screwing a 60 year old lady out of her house.

Yeah, as a working class guy, I could REALLY use 100k+ dollars if I fought it, but I will absolutely NOT destroy his dream of his wife having a nice little home.

Them home cooked meals, talk and sharing memories a couple times every few months are worth more to me than money.

Maybe I’m an idiot, but I love him and her too much to go by “the law”.

Signing that form for her lawyer was about the easiest moral choice I’ve ever had to take.

12 Things People Couldn’t Live Without in the 1960s

What will be endgame of U.S.-China Chip War?

A week ago, the New York Times published a rare long article entitled “‘An Act of War’: Inside America’s Silicon Blockade Against China”, which comprehensively analyzed the U.S. chip war against China. In the author’s view, the strategic importance of this article is no less than that of “The Long Telegram” which elaborated on the exclusion policy during the white terror period of McCarthy’s era, and it is recommended that anyone who cares about the direction of the Sino-US confrontation should read it in detail. The importance of this article is unprecedented in the 172 years of the New York Times’ existence.

According to an article signed by Faraway Qingmu from Hubei province three days ago, the New York Times has rarely exposed many political insiders in the U.S., which is very informative and has historical reference value. In the author’s opinion, this is the official kick-off of the 21st century war between China and the U.S., and this is just a warm-up preparation. The unveiling of the war began on October 7 last year, when Biden announced the expansion of sanctions against Chinese chips. Alan, Director of the Vadhwani Center for Artificial Intelligence and Advanced Technology at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington, D.C., likened it to a war, which has been going on for more than nine months now. The author is still delving into it, trying to digest the vast amount of information related to it. This is a major event of this century, and the author intends to analyze it in detail in the next few articles.

The New York Times describes the chip war as an act of war by the U.S. against China. It is defined as an attempt by the U.S. to influence China’s artificial intelligence industry, and sanctions against China’s semiconductor industry are an important means of achieving this goal. The purpose of Biden’s new policy of October 7 last year is that the U.S. will not only not allow China to make any progress in the relevant technology, but will also actively reverse and obstruct China’s current technological level of progress, in essence, in order to eradicate China’s entire advanced technology ecosystem, to “cut the grass and remove the roots”.

The New York Times quoted Mathney, the former Deputy Director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, as saying that China is trying to catch up in chip technology, and to some extent that’s trying to replicate an entire human technological civilization in the short term. Trump initially sanctioned Huawei as the goal, and then proposed to use the chip as a weapon, but only against a few companies in China. After Biden’s rise to power, his goal has changed to stifle China’s high-tech development on all fronts. While Trump targeted individual companies, Biden is targeting the entire industry. The U.S. is now expanding its sanctions against China in almost every way, to the point of no return.

Why is this happening? The significance of the U.S. blockade of China’s chip development lies in its strategy of geopolitical and financial-military hegemony, aimed at eliminating competitors, subjugating them to the U.S. military and the U.S. dollar, accepting U.S. command, engaging in the U.S.-designated international division of labor, and obeying the U.S.-defined sense of value. Therefore, the U.S. believes that China should not make any progress in some key technological areas (artificial intelligence driven by the chip industry) that happen to be the drivers of future global economic growth and development.

Now, in the face of the menacing and hostile policy of the U.S., will China be able to cope with it successfully in the next three to five years? Will it be able to turn the corner and overtake the U.S.? No one can predict. The only thing we know for sure now is that the U.S. will not change its extreme tactics of stifling China’s chip industry, and whether or not it will ultimately get what it wants will depend on the future development of the international situation. The world today is not the same as it was after World War II, and it is impossible for the U.S. to unilaterally call the shots.

For China, the battle for technological autonomy is an unprecedented challenge. Can China succeed? Can it do the unthinkable that the U.S. says is impossible? For now, it’s hard to say.

The U.S. still holds a technological advantage in chips, but why is the U.S. in such a hurry to completely shut down the Chinese chip industry? It is because the U.S. interest class believes that chips are the core of future economic development. The research and development of modern technology depend more and more on supercomputers, and the core of supercomputers is the chip.

While Trump’s initial goal was to use chips as a weapon to gain profit, Biden’s goal has now changed to stifle China’s high technology on all fronts. Through export controls, the U.S. is attempting to cripple China’s ability to produce and purchase high-end chips. Although the controls are implemented in a low-profile manner under the guise of so-called updated export rules, they are essentially designed to eradicate China’s entire advanced technology ecosystem. If the U.S. approach succeeds, it could affect China’s technological progress for an entire generation; but if it fails, it could have the opposite result of China catching up. Whether it succeeds or fails, it will affect Sino-U.S. competition and the global order in the coming decades.

The unprecedented extralegal control (the use of domestic law to override international law) practiced by the U.S. in the area of chips is unprecedented and has infiltrated from the political sphere to the economic sphere, violating the basic principle of free competition in capitalism. According to a report in the New York Times, the former Assistant Secretary of Commerce of the U.S., Mr. Wolfe, who was in charge of export administration, opined that this kind of control meant that even if there was only one kind of American equipment in the foundry in China, and even if there were hundreds of other kinds of non-American equipment, the wafer production of the entire production line would be related to the U.S.. This rule makes all the world’s semiconductors subject to U.S. law, because all the world’s chip foundries (not only for China) are not immune, must be at least to a certain extent, the use of some aspect of U.S. equipment. This is a so-called champertous strategy, which is exactly the same as the U.S. habit of “I call the shots, I set the rules” and considers itself to represent the whole world, which is the same as and no different from the U.S. practice. The U.S. has taken the position of a global hegemon to set the international order for chips. Even if a chip product is manufactured and shipped outside the U.S. and has never entered the U.S., and its final product does not contain any U.S.-origin components or related technology, it can still be considered a U.S. product. Even if only 1% of the U.S. goods appear in China’s production line, China must comply with U.S. law, even if the remaining 99% is developed in China. In short, it’s all-inclusive.

The New York Times is of the view that the U.S. has taken a great risk in deciding to do so and may have to pay a heavy price. It is because this kind of tactic is so tough that it is tantamount to a declaration of war, which is irreversible. If there is any country that can overcome such a tough challenge from the U.S., it is China. The introduction of the U.S. chip export control law on October 7 of last year, although in the foreseeable future will cause a major blow to China’s advanced chip manufacturing capacity, but in the end may be able to stimulate China’s long-term growth, catching up with the curve.

The U.S. chose this irreversible option, obviously after a thorough risk assessment, as a well-considered decision. In the past, the U.S. had a choice between national resilience (because of its belief in the superiority of the system) and commercial development (because of its belief in free competition), but now this choice no longer exists. The subtext is that the U.S. has lost faith in its own political system and traditional market freedom. If a significant portion of the $400 billion that China spends annually on chip imports were spent domestically in China (the economic term is import substitution), its domestic chip companies would be given the opportunity, the motivation, the means, and the ability to catch up.

In the author’s opinion, this is exactly the case with Huawei. When the US uses chips as a weapon to attack Huawei, Huawei’s cell phone market share can plummet at once, but Huawei is mainly a communication equipment supplier, and it is in the process of turning around, the US can’t beat it to death. Huawei’s case proves that even the most severe sanctions can’t directly put Huawei to death. The New York Times believes that the U.S. industry is very mindful and vigilant in this regard, which shows that U.S. public opinion is skeptical of Biden’s extreme measures, rather than blindly supporting them unilaterally.

China has to catch up in terms of high technology. How should China respond? It seems to be the same as before: work hard, and be self-reliant. China has been at the mercy of the Western powers since 1840, and this has never changed. Back then, the country was weak and in danger of being partitioned. Now that the country is rich and strong, it is still being coveted. The characteristic of the Chinese nation is that once it awakens, it will become stronger and stronger, and it will definitely respond to challenges. 183 years ago, China did not have a modern education system, modern mathematics, physics, chemistry and biology, scientific experiments, or numerical management, and today, 183 years later, Chinese-style modernization is on track. To overcome the fact that nanotechnology and chip technology are still at a relatively backward stage, it is believed that with time, we will be able to accomplish all our tasks, and we should be optimistic but still cautious. What is the prospect in the author’s view? It is estimated that in three to five years’ time, we will see whether we have won or lost.

CIA Classified Book about the Pole Shift, Mass Extinctions and The True Adam & Eve Story

CIA Classified Book about the Pole Shift, Mass Extinctions and The True Adam & Eve Story In 1966 a well-known engineer released a book with information that could impact everyone on earth. But before anyone could read it, it was classified by the CIA. We only learned of its existence a few years ago because of a Freedom of Information request. The CIA only released 57 pages of the original 284-page manuscript. And those pages have been, in the CIA’s own words, “sanitized”. Why does the CIA think this book is so dangerous that they had to hide it from the public for 60 years; and continue to hide most of it? It’s because the man who wrote it describes the end of the world.

What is the most ridiculous “crime” someone has been reported to the authorities for?

This harmless-looking fellow, Guido Menzio, was flying to Syracuse from Philadelphia.

Once settled into his seat, the busy 40-year-old took out his work papers and got to working.

His seatmate, a blonde-haired white woman in her thirties, later claimed she had tried to strike up a conversation with him but he was evasive.

She took a look at what he was writing, and fear struck.

He was working on some cryptic plans! Strange letters and symbols she couldn’t understand.

She bravely approached a flight attendant, claiming she felt too ill to fly.

She slipped her a note, warning her about a suspicious man working on something in a foreign language.

The woman was then discreetly escorted off the plane, where her bullshit suspicions were entertained for many minutes while the plane waited on the tarmac.

Then Menzio was also taken off-board and questioned.

And so what should have been a quick 40-minute flight ended up being delayed for two hours.

But what was he working on?

Maths. Differential equations.

And he wasn’t “Muslim” or “Arabic”. He was Italian. An Italian Ivy League professor.

After they established he was not a threat, they let him reboard. The woman refused to reboard, and opted to take the next flight. Hopefully her next seatmate won’t do something drastic like use the calculator app around her.

I understand math can be scary for some people, like that brave lady. Who does this guy think he is, doing math where anyone could see him?

Why aren’t there laws to prohibit old people from squandering their children’s inheritance?

The saddest thing I’ve ever done was handle my Mum’s estate after she died. What made is so sad was that there was so much money there, not counting her house. She had far more than she could have used even if she’d lived longer (she died at 80). They weren’t exactly wealthy – she was a retired teacher, and my Dad had been a college lecturer and had died 8 years earlier, but she still had a big chunk of money when she died.

She should have spent that money herself. Yes, her heirs benefited from it, but I’d rather she’d spent it herself, either to enjoy herself, or to have the pleasure of giving it away herself.

“Gods gift to men” this is how men usually think of Yoga pants. However, after the Orenburgs hairy Yoga pants, we think this opinion could suddenly change. Many have thought this is a fake product or a parody but in fact you can get it over Ebay where it is sold as “Leggins / pants Longhair 100% Goat Down Russian Cashmere Mohair FETISH men woman”. It’s the latest hit from Orenburg, because who can wear tin Yoga pants on severe cold temperature?

Across the West, People Are Dying in Greater Numbers. Nobody Wants to Learn Why

Jonathan Cook • July 18, 2023

During the pandemic, the challenge for each of us was to maintain critical distance: spurning both the tribalism of those insisting Covid was a hoax and the counter-tribalism of those who demanded complete acquiesence to a corporate-political agenda dictated by Big Pharma under the mantle of “Follow the science”.

Fear of living under Big Brother or of dying from plague drove many people not only into the arms of one of these two oppositional camps but fuelled a pandemic mania in which reason and compassion were replaced with either extreme cynicism or extreme compliance. We are still living with the consequences.

There has been a spate of “excess deaths” over the past two years across the West – well above what would normally be expected – and yet this sustained trend is being universally ignored by governments, establishment media and medical bodies. No one is protesting. The cult of compliance is still in the ascendant.

More on that in a moment.

But it is worth first revisiting briefly the climate of intolerance and willed ignorance that predominated at the height of the pandemic, as I documented in real time in a series of essays that upset more of my readers than any I had written before.

It was always unwarranted to press for vaccine mandates, if only because they violated the critically important principle of bodily autonomy. But the demand became completely unhinged once it was clear – as it was much earlier than publicly let on by Big Pharma, the World Health Organisation and national regulators – that the vaccines were doing little to halt virus transmission.

Similarly, it was always unethical to insist that children should be routinely given the vaccine and boosters when it was evident that the virus posed no threat to the overwhelming majority of them – and all the more so given that the mRNA vaccines were based on a new technology whose development had been rushed through on an emergency licence.

By definition, no one could know the long-term effects of mRNA vaccines on humans because there had been no long-term studies. The science was built on a wing and a prayer, which is part of the reason the Joint Committee on Vaccinations and Immunisation, the British government’s official advisory body on vaccinations, demurred for so long, and despite huge political pressure, on recommending vaccination for children.

And it was always deeply irresponsible to refuse to consider, or even study, other treatments that might have had an impact on the virus. Medical authorities ignored or warned the public off potential prophylactics and immunity-boosting treatments and behaviours – even when those interventions could have complemented the role of the vaccines, rather than serving as an alternative to them.

Nothing could be allowed to dilute the public’s exclusive reliance on vaccinations.

One prize example was Vitamin D, the sunshine hormone that, uniquely, every cell in the human body has a receptor for. Most people in the West are deficient in Vitamin D, many of them severely so, and doctors still have little understanding of what the consequences of that deficiency – beyond osteoporosis – might be.

Even before Covid, there were many studies suggesting that Vitamin D was critical to improving the health of our immune systems, including by warding off and aiding recovery from coronaviruses. That evidence has only grown stronger subsequently.

But definitive proof has been lacking because full-scale controlled studies are extraordinarily expensive and only Big Pharma has deep enough pockets to fund such studies (given that our captured governments refuse to dig deep themselves), but Big Pharma has no interest in proving a cheap hormone like Vitamin D – one it cannot patent or profit from – might offer the public health benefits not only in relation to Covid but for a wide range of chronic health conditions.

The fact that most medical regulators and media commentators continue to prefer to shut down debate about the potential benefits of Vitamin D rather than demand that governments fund research to confirm or refute the growing body of evidence for such benefits should be a scandal. But, predictably, it isn’t.

Blanket silence

I set this out as a preface to this latest scandal on excess deaths, one that – like so much else related to the pandemic and its aftermath – continues to elicit a blanket silence from the establishment media, politicians and, of course, our medical authorities.

The consistent and markedly elevated death rates each month across most of the Western world are not due to Covid and are far above the seasonal five-year average before the pandemic.

Such deaths have been significantly raised since late 2020 or mid-2021. That is all the more surprising because, after early waves of Covid killed off those who were already sick and vulnerable, the expectation was that excess deaths would fall, not rise. That anomaly needs explaining – scientifically.

Despite the backlash inevitably provoked by asking critical questions, I want to examine this development because it highlights something important about the way of our supposedly democratic governments, and the regulatory and adversarial institutions meant to hold them in check, have been hollowed out. We imagine we live in societies where scientific reason and compassion guide our response to a medical crisis. The reality is different. In our societies, one thing rules: money.

The issue of excess deaths is only one of many problems – though probably the most serious – that have emerged in the aftermath of the pandemic. Unless you have made an extraordinary effort to do your own research and managed to evade the internet censors and their algorithms, you will most likely not know about these developments. Neither politicians nor establishment media have publicised them.

Instead troubling data is buried away in obscure, peer-reviewed scientific journals, or has to be squeezed out of government authorities through freedom of information requests – and even then the information is often heavily redacted.

Such data would remain largely unnoticed but for the efforts of a few brave souls daring to draw attention to it – only to be smeared as cranks and crackpots, whatever their formal qualifications.

Dr John Campbell, whose Youtube channel became an invaluable internet resource during the pandemic and since (at least for those trying to sift the wheat from the chaff), has done sterling work shedding light on many of those problems.

Some notable videos have covered:

• the mishandling and lack of oversight of Pfizer’s research into its vaccine;
• the astounding admission that Pfizer never actually tested whether its vaccine stopped transmission;
• continuing efforts to obscure evidence demonstrating that natural infection confers superior immunity to the vaccine;
• the troubling discovery that mRNA can remain in the blood for at least a month after vaccination, with no understanding of what it might be doing in that time to our immune systems;
• high variation in adverse reactions caused by different batches of mRNA vaccine, with some off the scale;
• the involvement of US researchers and Pfizer in engineering Frankenstein’s monster-type coronaviruses of the very kind that, it increasingly seems, led to the Covid pandemic in the first place;
• new research demonstrating the lack of evidence for reduction in virus transmission from masking;
• the failure of policymakers to weigh the serious financial, social and possibly medical costs of lockdowns;
• and a causal connection, confirmed by the WHO, between vaccination and the development of autoimmune disease like multiple sclerosis.

There is doubtless much worse, but we cannot learn of it – at least from qualified sources – because any effort to discuss it publicly will almost certainly result in banning by the corporations that run social media, our modern town squares.

For his efforts shining a light into the darkest recesses of the West’s pandemic response, Dr Campbell has been pilloried by the tribe that still identifies with Big Pharma. Arrogantly, they dismiss him as a glorified “nurse”, even though he has written widely read and authoritative medical textbooks.

More to the point, the smears are designed to distract from the fact that, more often than not, Dr Campbell is not speaking for himself but relaying in intelligible language the findings of peer-reviewed studies or interviewing respected experts in their field to draw attention to their work.

Complete mystery

Nonetheless, the issue of unexplained excess deaths is an order of magnitude more serious than even these other matters, which is why Dr Campbell has dedicated so many of his videos to discussing it.

Many, many thousands more people, including young people, are now dying each month across the Western world (where such data is reliably collected) than should be, compared to previous years. And they are dying for entirely mysterious reasons.

Yet:

This deeply troubling phenomenon barely merits a mention from politicians, the media or medical authorities.

Governments are failing to fund research to determine the causes of these extra deaths, even though the rates have been elevated for two years or more.

This reckless, self-imposed climate of ignorance is being sustained even as expert medical bodies warn that we face future pandemics.

It is almost as if Western governments prefer to let large numbers of people die unnecessarily, and potentially at great cost to health care services, rather than learn the truth. It seems these governments are quite happy, if they believe another pandemic is on the way, to risk repeating any mistakes they made during Covid that may have caused those excess deaths.

In a world where we are supposed to “follow the science”, how can that possibly be the case? What is going on?

If we try to understand why a blind eye is being turned to the shocking data showing a sustained and unexplained rise in deaths, it is hard not to arrive at one, and only one, conclusion.

Governments, establishment media and the medical regulators are frightened. They are scared of what they may discover if the research is carried out.

And that suggests something further. That these are not groups with their own discrete or competing interests and agendas.

The media, whatever it claims, is not a watchdog on government or the medical establishment. It colludes with them against the public. In fact, the corporate interests of all three are closely aligned.

Why? Because the government is captured by Big Business. Because the medical authorities are funded by Big Pharma, which can make or break careers. And because the media is owned by billionaires, and serves as little more than the public relations arm of concentrated wealth and as cheerleader for a neoliberalism that normalises the criminal profiteering of drug manufacturers like Pfizer.

Cultivated ignorance

Before I continue further, let me state unequivocally – because sadly, these things need emphasising in our ever-more tribal, polarised societies – that I have no idea what is causing this wave of excess deaths.

The point of this piece is not to pre-judge the matter or adopt a tribal position.

Rather, I’m trying de-tribalise your and my own thinking so that we can better understand why our governments and medical agencies prefer that no research is conducted, and why our establishment media chooses not to expose this glaring failure.

Dr Vibeke Manniche, a member of the Danish medical team whose peer-reviewed research showed that some batches of the mRNA vaccine caused off-the-scale adverse reactions, believes there are likely to be an array of contributory factors. That sounds right to me.

Her team are now undertaking as their next project an investigation into the mysterious rise in deaths. It is their private initiative, rather than research funded, organised or assisted by the Danish government. In fact, according to Dr Manniche, Danish authorities have been throwing obstacles in their way.

But why are these authorities so afraid?

The answer is simple. They suspect that any research will implicate them in those excess deaths. They are frightened – rightly or wrongly – that the narrative they constructed around the pandemic, and the powers they accrued to themselves, will unravel.

The reason they are in no hurry to find out why so many extra people are dying is because they fear that significant contributory factors are either the lockdown policies they imposed or the side-effects of the vaccines they championed – or both.

Again, I’m not saying that is what I think. I have no expertise to evaluate all the possible causes, including the ongoing erosion of socialised health care in much of the Western world and its transfer to yet more corporate profiteers – for which our governments areundoubtedly responsible.

But governments and medical regulators have access to the same data and graphs as Dr Manniche, showing a relentless and near-identical rise in excess deaths beginning in spring 2021 in Denmark, Norway and Finland, in the immediate wake of the mass vaccine rollout. Similar graphs are available for other Western states.

The inference that there is a connection between the vaccines and excess deaths may be wrong. But it is not a hypothesis they wish to test. The consequences are far too serious for them. They would rather enforce general ignorance, or perpetrate a deception on the public, than risk undermining their own authority – and the crucial levers they control both to sustain their privileges and to further concentrate their wealth.

There are some uncomfortable lessons here for us all.

The truth is Western governments – all of them – dare not test the evidentiary basis for their insistence on lockdowns and experimental vaccines as the only way out of the pandemic. They dare not do so in the full glare of public scrutiny for fear that the truth will not serve them, and more likely will damage them. So they cultivate public ignorance.

The truth is that the medical regulatory authorities were long ago captured by Big Pharma, and the revolving door it offers, leading to prestigious jobs and lucrative salaries in the industry. So they favour public ignorance too.

The truth is that the media will not hold the feet of governments or the medical establishment to the fire because, whatever the media claim, they are not in the business of enforcing real, systemic accountability. The billionaire-owned media corporations are embedded in the same model of corporate profit as Big Pharma. Indeed, the media’s own corporate profits depend on the advertising and sponsorship of drugs companies – fellow corporations – like Pfizer. So they benefit from public ignorance as well.

World of illusion

We live in a world not, as we are told and tell ourselves, of democratic accountability and transparency. Beyond formal, surface appearances, the system of political, economic and social control is designed to lack all but the most minimal checks and balances, institutional safeguards and oversight.

We live in a world of illusion, of elites that look out for their own, that develop ever more sophisticated technological tools to manipulate and deceive us, and that have progressively rigged the system to accrue to themselves ever more wealth and power.

We are not, as we like to imagine, informed citizens. The system cannot afford to provide us with the information we need to be informed – information that might reveal to us that we have been duped, that the rich steal from the poor to give to themselves, that our rulers have no clue how to fix the biggest problems facing us, aside from lining their pockets with more gold as the ship goes down.

As the last year has demonstrated, our elites had no more idea how to deal with the pandemic than they currently do with the climate crisis, or with the Ukraine war (without risking nuclear conflagration), or with rapid advances in Artificial Intelligence. Faced with the biggest challenges, they are like children – shouting “Follow the Science” or “Green New Deal” to distract the rest of us as they grab as many sweets as they can thrust into their pockets.

For these elites, Covid was a party – quite literally in the case of the British government – in which the biggest corporations not only profiteered but drove small businesses into the ground. Excess deaths are but a hangover, one that must be studiously ignored if the fiction of responsible, accountable, democratic government is to be maintained.

Our world has been carefully constructed to ensure we do not get to peek behind the curtain, to see the con-men at work. Unless we dispel this central illusion – that science, reason and compassion are the forces driving the West – the charlatans will take us with them over the edge of the cliff in their pursuit of suicidal “economic growth” and chimerical “progress”.

Energy tips for Empaths, Highly Sensitives, and ye on the path of the Mystic

This is good. I hope it helps someone in MM land out there.

Do you support the opaque polity of CCP in China where a foreign minister goes missing and foreign ministry feigns ignorance? You may refer to the report of Mint “The curious case of China’s missing foreign minister”.

First off he is not missing

The Party knows where he is

His colleagues know where he is

Just because the US or UK or the West don’t hear from someone for a month, doesn’t mean he has gone missing

This obessession of always talking to the press every day is slavish and a Western compulsion

Same with Tweeting every day

He simply has not been seen in the Public Domain

Why should the Chinese care about why he has not been seen??

It’s not their problem right?

---

The CPC has a message

It’s called MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS

In China, it is the business of the CPC to run the country, govern the country and help it develop and grow and regulate policies to sustain the country and defend the country

The Average Citizens have their own business — Work Hard, Take advantage of the free and heavily subsidized education, Do well, Pay Taxes and ENJOY LIFE — take vacations, buy stuff, play games, have fast food

China is not India

The Average Chinese doesn’t spend all his time discussing Modi vs Raga or saying “Ayega to Modi Hi”

He doesn’t even know the names of most standing committee members and won’t recognise them if they stood in front of him without escort or the party’s No 8 Cars

The CPC tells the Citizens what they HAVE TO KNOW

The CPC doesn’t need to tell them anything more because it won’t be productive

The CPC won’t tell all the problems to the Citizens because the Citizens knowing the problems is counter productive and could complicate stuff

Instead the CPC SOLVES THE PROBLEMS and ensures that the Citizens don’t even feel the negative effects

---

The CPC will take care of the Governance

The CPC will replace ministers and members if they cannot be fully capable of doing their job which underlies the Meritocracy of the Chinese System

In India, Arun Jaitley and Sushma Swaraj worked for a year despite taking cancer treatments half the time

Not in China

China wants 100% and if they don’t get it — you get a golden handshake and a goodbye

---

You want my opinion

I love such a system and the opacity

Knowing only what I NEED TO KNOW and being protected by a system and confident in such a system is very productive and helps me focus on what my business should be

The Greatest Growth and Development in the world took place under such a system

IT WAS CALLED MONARCHY !!!!!

The World’s greatest inventions — Machine Guns, Spinning Jenny, Steam Engine, Dynamite, Shopping, Telegraph and Modern Banking all took place under this system

Where the Common men did what their business man and where the people who should rule, did their job and ruled

Mixing them was catastrophic and luckily China hasn’t done that yet

---

Note:—

My point here is to hail the opacity of China and the CPC and not discuss why Qin Gang didn’t make a public appearance for 3 weeks

The Opacity for whatever reason is what makes China the world’s fastest rising threat to the West and it’s degraded political systems

SNOW WHITE ENDING LEAKS GET EVEN MORE PATHETIC! What On Earth Is DISNEY THINKING!

How is the Make in America Chip plan cracking as was reported by Bloomberg?

Economics!!!

TSMC estimates that they need 13 Factories plus another 7 from Korea to be able to match the demand and achieve sufficient scale to maintain some profitability

The cost would be minimum $ 240 Billion a year

Add to this at least 6000 Specialized Workers who were to be paid $ 34,000 a year from Korea and Taiwan who refuse flat and demand $ 61,000 minimum

That’s $ 1.05 Billion a year including all other services and labor costs and welfare measures

Thus the US Chip program needs around $ 2.7 Trillion in the first 10 years

Their budget is $ 230 Billion in 5 years

So the simple question is where is the MONEY ?

Mrs Raimondo is unwilling to release any more money

---

Add to this is the US demanding

• Full Access to every Customer
• Full Access to profits and financial records
• Full Access to all Process Technologies not controlled by the US

TSMC and Samsung are Loth to agree to these terms and have decided to go to their lawyers and use the courts to fight the issue

---

Thus the Make Chips in USA has gotten derailed and side tracked

It is likely to take 2028 before the first commercial chips will be sold from USA and that too only 13% of the actual demand

It will take 2036 before the first commercial chips are sold to fulfil the whole demand

That gives the Chinese 13 years to take over the market and if they manage to make chips at a larger scale and lower cost

That’s $ 2.7 Trillion DOWN THE DRAIN and Taiwan and Korean entities are finished

---

Its why the Tech war has been in place

To hope to ensure China isn’t able to crack any of these technologies by 2036

Is nature cruel?

A police man by the name of Joseph James DeAngelo had a habit of going into the houses of people. He enjoyed to observe them from afar. Then, he would enter their houses at night, and leave, and enter… and if he felt he had familiarized himself sufficiently with their homes, he’d subdue them.

DeAngelo would often attack couples, a man and a woman, together. He’d tie the husband or boyfriend up in one room. And he would place teacups, plates, cups on the back of the man. He’d tell the victim not to move because if he did, “the cups will fall, I’ll hear you and I will come back to kill you…” DeAngelo would then go to the other room, and rape the wife

The husbands would be on the floor, tied up, and forced to listen to the agonizing sounds of their wives being brutalized in the other room. Always, without fail, they would wiggle and try their hardest to escape to save their wives. The porcelain would drop and break, and DeAngelo would then drag them to the bedroom. Bludgeon the wife in front of the tied-up husband… and then, kill him last. The killer repeated this several times. Some victims survived. Most didn’t. For decades, the man capable of such great cruelty got away with his crimes, unpunished, a family man, father, grandfather.

A policeman, he heard of DNA evidence being a thing by the late 1980s. Which is when he stopped his spree of terror. DeAngelo lived another thirty years in relative peace and quiet. He had a little boat he would sail on. And he enjoyed his retirement. DNA evidence did take him down, in the end — genealogy websites used to track down relatives allowed law enforcement into their database and found a match. Before he ‘retired’ from his career as a maniac, DeAngelo raped 45 people and murdered twelve.

Nature is straightforward. An animal gets hungry, he’ll kill another animal and eat it. It’ll hurt, it will be brutal but there’s no inate cruelty or sadism involved… the killing is a mean’s to an end. Nature produces no Joseph James DeAngelo’s. Humanity alone does.

Young Girl REINCARNATED from an Ancient World | The Ghost Inside My Child | LMN

This is pretty good and well worth your time to watch.

If the Chinese Communist Party collapses, would there be looting, pillaging and killing of non-Asian & mixed blacks throughout China?

Obviously you think that the Party is a very top-down organization where only a few people at the top make all the decisions for 1.4B Chinese, and everyone underneath follows. Following on this, you think that if the Party collapses through the elimination of this top few, it will collapse and everyone will go wild.

Let me correct your view:

• The Party has 98M members now. This means about one in 14 Chinese is a Party member.
• In order to join the Party, one must either apply to join, or be invited to apply.
• The Party permeates through all levels of Chinese society with branch organizations. Every company, school or organization with more than ten employees has its own party branch secretary who convenes monthly meetings for all Party members. At these meetings they discuss policy and developments, and how to implement Party policy in their organization.
• It is common for applicants to be rejected on the first application. The current general secretary, Xi Jinping, was rejected nine times before finally being accepted on the tenth application.
• On joining, the new members swear an oath of loyalty and sacrifice if called to do so.
• In an emergency, such as a flood, earthquake or COVID crisis, the party mobilizes its members FIRST. This is why when the COVID crisis broke out in Wuhan in January 2020, most of the victims were Party members; they had been called to use their skills and experience to fight the virus. Ordinary Chinese who are not Party members know about Party members being called up and in some cases dying.

This is not to say that the Party is a perfect organization which has never done anything wrong. For instance, the Cultural Revolution is now officially considered to have been a disaster.

At the same time, it has lifted more than 600M Chinese out of poverty, and is building a modern infrastructure in China which puts western societies to shame. It has made Chinese proud of China.

No one has been able to offer a better alternative to replace the Party. Do you have a better alternative aside from vague statements about freedom and democracy? That will not work with ordinary Chinese because they want some firm alternatives.

Would you offer to give every Chinese a US passport, and a free one-way ticket to the US? I am sure that would attract 50–100M Chinese, maybe more. Do you want to do that? I don’t think Biden or Trump have plans to do that right away.

So why would it collapse? If you can tell me how such an organization and society would collapse, I would like to hear about it.

I’m all ears.

Father Takes Away Daughters College $ After They Crossed The Ultimate Line, Now They’re LOSING IT!

My wife and I went into town to shop.

My wife and I went into town to shop.

When we came out, there was a cop writing out a parking ticket.

We went up to him and I said, “Come on man, how about giving a senior citizen a break?”

He just ignored us and continued writing the ticket.

I called him a “butthead.” He glared at me and started writing another ticket for having worn-out tires.

So my wife called him a “jerk.” He finished the second ticket and put it on the windshield with the first.

Then he started writing more tickets. This went on for about 20 minutes.

The more we offended him, the more tickets he wrote.

He finally finished, sneered at us, and walked away.

Just then our bus arrived, and we got on it and went home.

We try to have a little fun each day now that we’re retired. It’s so important at our age!

Did China’s anti-corruption campaign work?

Yes, it worked very well because it restored the faith of most Chinese in the Chinese Communist Party.

If Xi Jinping did not have the anti-corruption campaign, China would have become as corrupt as another leading superpower, where money can buy anything, including the presidency.

12 People Reveal The Saddest Thing They’ve Seen at a Casino

July 18, 2023

1. A woman asking security if she could come back in clean clothes, after she got kicked out for shitting herself while working the slots. She wouldn’t leave that machine, even to use the bathroom. Gross. She wasn’t even phased or embarrassed by the scene she was making in public.

2. Casino dealer here for 10 years. I’ve worked at three casinos and worked in many departments . Young best buy worker comes in buys in for 500 on roulette and loses it. Goes to the parking lot and sells his car for 500 and comes back and racks up 75,000 bucks. In 20 minutes he loses it all. 25 years old I couldn’t believe it. Feel free to ask any question.

3. Not a dealer and it was a card room, but while playing poker a guy sat down with the max buy in and got wiped out on his first hand at the table. He reloaded for the max and lost it all his second hand dealt. He reloaded max a third time, and no shit, went broke again on his third hand of the night. Like, wtf? He stood up real quick and stared at the board stunned. Then, proceeded to freak out about how his wife was going to divorce him. He grabbed as many chips off the table as he could and made a break for the door. Unfortunately, he tripped over the back of someone’s chair and chips went flying everywhere. Police kindly escorted him out as he was having what had to be a mental breakdown.

4. I am not a dealer but I am a cocktail server at a local casino. I am still fairly new but it is a very sad place. I work anywhere from 7-10 hours shifts at a time. People will sit at a slot machine for my entire shift and put every single dollar they have into it hoping to win big. They constantly visit the ATM or main bank for cash advances on credit cards or go into the negative in the bank account. I see the same people there daily. Most are friendly but some bark orders at me or don’t thank me. I am always smiling and friendly with everyone I come into contact with.

I’ve witnessed people win thousands of dollars and be completely miserable because it wasn’t enough for them and they are still in debt from their addiction.

I’ve heard horror stories about people pissing or shitting because they refuse to visit the restroom in fear of leaving their machine for a few moments.

5. Former slot attendant and cage cashier at Showboat in Atlantic City (RIP): the worst is watching the people who clearly don’t have enough money to be in there coming in, losing it all, and begging for a marker (a line of credit that allows them to keep betting) so they could try to win it back.
Showboat was a Harrah’s casino, and Harrah’s made a very big deal about their commitment to responsible gaming. We were told to refer them to Gambler’s Anonymous or point out the brochures and signage about needing help if we determined a guest was gaming irresponsibly, but we couldn’t actually stop them if they had the money. Once they were out, though, you’d still get a few sad sacks a day that tried to open the marker. I don’t know which was worse: watching them get the application accepted and piss away even more money, or watching them get denied and leave in tears.

6. Tossup between:

1. Coming into work to see some of the same people still playing that were there when i left the previous night.
2. Watching other dealers take their tokes and sit down at a table and lose it all after their shift ended.

7. Been in the casino industry for about 14 years. Dealt for about 8 of those, I have since moved up and am in management now.

The saddest thing I’ve seen is death.

Death by itself is tragic and rare, and seeing someone keel over from a heart attack is sad to say the least. But you are trained and ordered to never stop dealing if there are bets that need to be paid or taken.

Case in point: A normal, slightly overweight guy has a heart attack. He drops. It happened across from me in a different pit, but I saw it just the same. Concerned crowd, EMTs arrive, all of what you would expect. But he had this misfortune of dying on a live craps table. In the middle of a good roll. People complained that the game stopped, so they kept the game going as EMTs were doing their thing. People were straight stepping over the guy’s legs to place bets.

In St. Louis if you are curious. I’ve seen two other people die in my casinos, but this one was the saddest by far.

8. The first time I was ever in Vegas a security guards came up to the slot next to me and removed the stool from the floor. Another guard wheels up an old lady and she starts throwing her money in to that slot. Within a minute of her losing every last dime the guard is back wheeling her away while the other fixes the stool back in to the floor. I notice them taking her out the front door towards Fremont street. A couple hours later as I am leaving the casino I see her right by the front door where they wheeled her and I figure perhaps she is waiting for a ride. Four hours later when I come back she is still in the same place so I ask her if I can pay for a taxi for her and she asks if I can give her $20 dollars to buy some groceries. I give it to her and a few minutes later see security wheeling her back to the slots.

9. 90 (ish?) year old woman wearing tattered rags, and in a wheelchair that was falling apart, cigarette in one hand, a drink in the other spending what I could only assume was her life savings on the slot machines.

10. I used to work as a change person, pushing a cart around and making change for gamblers. I once saw a grown man at about 3am – desperately walking from slot machine to slot machine, dropping coins into the slots, pulling the handle, and watching the tumblers roll – quietly sobbing and mumbling to himself, seemingly looking desperately for a winner. I left that job the next day and never forgot his face (it’s been about 25 years).

11. I worked as a croupier for 3 years, I had an Irish student come into the casino drunk. He proceeded to spend his entire years worth of student loads and bursary. He stood at my blackjack table and begged me and my manager for his money back, trying to explain to me that he was only 18 and why it was illegal for us to put him in such a position e.g. bent over the table and looted of all monies.

12. I wasn’t a dealer but i use to work security at a casino. I remember a relatively wealthy couple explaining to me that they sold their fridge and stove so that they could use the money to keep gambling. They said they had no need for them because the casino comped them so many meals. All i could think of was how sad of people they were.

This one for some reason bothers me more than anything though; seeing a mother leave her children at the entry gate so she could gamble. This was like 2:30am and the children were something like 4 and 16. We told her numerous times to take them home but she wouldn’t. We contacted DCI (state troopers basically that are always on property) to come and talk to her. Because the 16 year old was watching the other child they couldn’t do anything. We also had a policy that if they were at the table games, the pit boss had to make the call to kick her out. He wouldn’t because she was spending too much. I just watched as these kids sat on a bench for hours waiting for their mom. They complained they were hungry and thirsty but i couldn’t do much more than get a waitress to grab a soda.

“We have alien bodies and they are hiding it from you” Bombshell UFO testimony

On Wednesday, Congress held a hearing about UAP’s or “unidentified aerial phenomena.”

This is government speak for UFO. During the hearing, U.S. intelligence official David Grusch, a whistleblower, testified under oath before Congress that the United States has the bodies of alien pilots who were recovered from crashed UFO’s.

He also said that we have crashed craft and that he will give more details about that in separate closed-door hearings.

8 Parents Revealed Why They Home-Schooled Their Children

July 27, 2023

1. My number one reason was I wanted my kids to like learning. And they do, they love both reading and math. But it ended up being so much more. We have a lot more bonding time as a family, and my kids are best friends. They have more time to spend with their friends, and they have friends of all ages, from all around our city, not just the kids their age, in their neighborhood. They have lots of time to pursue multiple hobbies and interests. We as a family aren’t tied to a school schedule.

2. Our homeschool journey started because of food allergies. As we began to research our options we were flooded with reasons to homeschool that really resonated with us.

1. Safety- pandemic, a growing anti-vax movement and violence (bullying, shootings,etc)
2. We wanted our girls to get accurate and useful information regarding sex education. Not just the abstinence nonsense that is taught in schools. When our girls eventually go down that path, we want to make sure they know how to protect themselves as well as how to advocate for themselves and what they want.
3. We want to make sure that our girls are being taught accurate, truthful and fully represented history. I’m not interested in my kids learning a conservative, white-washed version of history.
4. My kids are only kids once and I genuinely enjoy spending time with them. Homeschooling lets us do that.
5. Flexibility. We’re able to do extracurricular activities such as gymnastics during the day while public school is in session. This usually means better instructor to kid ratios. Also, it means more time to spend as a family in the evening once my husband gets off work so he doesn’t miss out on time with the kids.

Private school was never an option for us because all of the private schools in our area are religious. We don’t feel that religion has anything to do with education and shouldn’t be included during school time.

3. I personally don’t have too much of a problem with the material taught in public school (though with a lot of recent developments in some states re: religion butting it’s way in, book bans etc, I’m wary of the future) but large classes have to, by default, teach to the middle. The kids who are behind will stay behind, and the kids ahead will get bored and disruptive. There’s also incredible stigmatization of kids held back OR skipped forward, even if they need it, so it rarely, if ever, happens. The way I see it, public schools prioritize putting kids in boxes and keeping them there, regardless of their needs academically or developmentally (it’s really not developmentally appropriate for young kids to sit in one place for hours at a time). I don’t blame them, though, because you kind of have to exercise a lot of control if you are the sole adult in charge of 20+ young children all day.

We looked at a lot of private schools in the area and none of them met our needs. We want our kids to have a low pressure academic atmosphere where they are allowed to act like young kids, and where there are enough teachers to meet kids where they’re at. That’s just not offered around here in a school we can drive to and afford right now.

4. Ultimately, I don’t believe that the material taught or the way it is taught will be of any benefit to my children in their future and may even be detrimental.

5. There’s a lot of reasons..

Like you, I don’t think what is taught in schools is quality information and nothing applicable to life skills.

I also don’t like the idea of my kids sitting in a chair 7 hours a day.

I think kids should be around a lot of different people and different age groups. I don’t see that there’s a lot to gain by being with the same group of kids the same age for 12 years.

I don’t like the political climate of our nation and I don’t like that it’s so apparent in schools. Our children’s education isn’t a game and shouldn’t be messed with the way it is.

I am fine with people having differing opinions than me, and I also don’t want to shelter my kids from different opinions and ideas but I also don’t trust a bunch of strangers having such a big part of my kids lives.

I genuinely love my kids, enjoying being around them and hate the thought of them being gone 40+ hours a week starting at age 5.

We homeschool now. As our kids are reaching middle school levels, we have discussed possibly putting them into private school. Financially, it’s definitely doable for us. Right now, we like homeschool, our kids like it and are thriving. Private school is always an option for us if thats what we decide. There is one we’ve toured and really like near us that will be what we choose if that’s the path we go down.

6. We decided to homeschool after we already had three kids in public school. I watched their love of school, turn into dread. The younger kids, no longer felt safe. They were coming home crying because of their peers or confused over classroom assignments. I watched my older kid turn into robot mode to please the system with A’s.

After my oldest graduated high school, we pulled the younger kids and decided to homeschool. We love the freedom of homeschool. Being able to tackle assignments in a way that benefits each child. Going to zoo’s, museums, and state parks anytime we want too. Learning about any thing we want, just because we want too. I can tailor their education to the career fields that they are interested in. We can enjoy play groups other extracurricular activities at our own pace.

Ultimately, learning is a life long process and I wanted them to have a good foundation. Classroom learning is a small percentage compared to the rest of their lives. I considered their physical, emotional, intellectual, social, spiritual, environmental and occupational well-being when we decided to homeschool.

7. I like homeschooling and the freedom that comes with it. I like that my kids can spend time outside, playing, reading, and I like that we can choose a curriculum that they enjoy and that works for them. My kids are young and I don’t like the idea of them being in public school for 8 hours day. They can sleep late if they need to, and can take days off when they’re struggling. The public schools in my area are overcrowded and there is so much crime; schools are frequently on lockdown due to crime in the surround area or because of threats made.

We actually homeschool through a public charter. So the charter school provides funds for students that we use to purchase curriculum and that is used towards extracurriculars. We use the charter funds for piano lessons, gymnastics, and a learning co-op that meets weekly. Private schools in our area are expensive and also overcrowded.

8. Our catalyst for homeschooling was originally the pandemic and some academic trauma and bullying that came before that. We continued for many reasons but mainly because one of my kids especially needs lots of time to work through struggle and build confidence. If he were in public school his anxiety would be unmanageable and he wouldn’t be thriving as he is. It also fits our lifestyle and gives us flexibility to live the way we want and not be ruled by a societal schedule.

My favorite reason for homeschooling though is that learning and growing becomes an ongoing, long-form conversation. It’s stream-of-consciousness across the years where we reach back, make connections, and are continually building on the day before in an organic, developmentally appropriate way that revolves around hand-picked curricula and materials we believe in. I as their teacher can see where they are compared to where they have been and I can be a better steward of their progress. Pair all this with the ability to do year-round school, friends of all ages and walks of life, field trips around our town or country to learn about their world first hand, 4H and other clubs, and their being involved in a few different family businesses, often working events with adults, and living on and working a farm, and we’ve got invaluable real life living year round. After doing it this way school seems even more artificial and not the right path for us.

HOUSE PASSES THE TAIWAN INTERNATIONAL SOLIDARITY ACT

Washington, D.C. — Today, the House passed the Taiwan International Solidarity Act, bipartisan legislation authored by Congressman John Curtis (R-UT) and Congressman Gerry Connolly (D-VA), co-Chair of the Congressional Taiwan Caucus that seeks to counter Beijing’s attempts to exclude Taiwan from participating in international organizations.

“The passage of the Taiwan International Solidarity Act is a significant step in reaffirming our commitment to Taiwan and in opposing attempts by the People’s Republic of China to use international organizations to distort Taiwan’s status,” said Rep. Curtis. “Building on my TAIPEI Act, this bipartisan legislation stands strong in support of Taiwan’s rightful place on the global stage.”

“For too long, the People’s Republic of China has distorted policies and procedures at international organizations to assert its sovereignty claims over Taiwan, often to the detriment of global health and security efforts,” said Rep. Connolly. “This bipartisan legislation ensures that we stand against Beijing’s weaponization of international organizations and in solidarity with the wishes and best interests of the people on Taiwan. I’ve been proud to partner with Rep. Curtis on this effort and I look forward to continuing to work together to get this important legislation signed into law.”

The Taiwan International Solidarity Act builds on Congressman Curtis’ TAIPEI Act to reaffirm that the United States will oppose any efforts by the People’s Republic of China to interfere with Taiwan’s ability to conduct diplomacy and participate in international organizations. In addition to Connolly and Curtis, the legislation was cosponsored by Representatives Ami Bera, Andy Barr, Mario Diaz-Balart, Dina Titus, Lisa McClain, Brian Fitzpatrick, Ted Lieu, Darrell Issa, Chris Smith, Brad Sherman, David Cicilline, and Michael Lawler.

Casino tricks that everyone falls for

Online casinos are a great way to spend time, especially if you win simultaneously. However, there are some nuances that online casinos hide from you.

Modern online casinos with lightning roulette demo, primarily legal and premium ones, offer a lot of entertainment, including state-of-the-art slot machines, live dealer games, and much more.

Most decent online casinos have fully informative websites. Detailed descriptions accompany most games and services.
However, there are some things that online casinos need to inform players about.

Some things online casinos hide from you

None of these nuances alone will make you a great player who regularly withdraws huge sums from online casinos. However, knowing these things can help you significantly reduce your losses in online casino gambling.

Blackjack offers the best odds of winning

A casino wants to keep the online game that offers the best odds of winning. That’s why you often see promotions that focus on Blackjack. A casino won’t advertise that Blackjack offers the best odds of winning. Nevertheless, considering that the casino’s advantage can be as low as 0.5%, it is true. Try playing it yourself – it’s easy to learn and understand.

Betting systems do not guarantee winnings

Nothing can guarantee you a win when you play at a casino. It would help if you understood that:

• Even professional casino players sometimes win.
• You shouldn’t rely too much on a betting system and expect always to win.

It’s best to place responsible bets on the games you choose. This way, you can limit your gambling opportunities and potential winnings.

Time flies by when you gamble

Although this feature is more typical for offline casinos, it applies here.

Land-based casinos have no clocks or windows, so you never know the time of day. It helps you forget the time because the establishments want you to stay longer and spend more.

The same thing happens online, and you can lose track of time when playing like this. Even safe online casinos do not inform you of this fact.

Maximum bets can pay off on slots

Many players often make the mistake of thinking that the size of the bet doesn’t matter.
So, they continue to place small bets, hoping that a crazy multiplier will appear on the slot. However, this never happens.
That’s because, in many cases, bonuses are awarded only at the highest bets.
Therefore, using a higher bet can guarantee the activation of these critical special features.

Ignore advertising of “hot” slots

Casinos often use a kind of petty fraud by “highlighting” certain games.
Usually, they indicate that these games are “hot” and others are “cold”. Such labelling is explained by how often they have paid out money recently.
However, there are no actual trends in the frequency of game payouts. All outcomes of online games are random due to the random number generation technology. Therefore, nothing says that the probability of paying out in one game is higher than in another.

The casino always has an advantage

It is something you can figure out for yourself. However, casinos are not very happy that players know this.
Why? Because it means that players know that the casino always makes a profit. For every bet you place, the casino gets a certain percentage.
The casino’s edge (House edge) exists, so the casino/operator makes money when you play.
Even fast-payout casino sites have to make money somehow. That’s why the casino tries to steer you towards games with a higher casino edge.

Casinos don’t like bonus hunters

It is a pretty obvious statement. Online casinos want to avoid bonus hunters coming to them. Why? Because these players sign up and make deposits with the sole intention of redeeming a bonus.

They build up a balance, withdraw money, leave, and never play again. Casinos do not like such players. They prefer players who play for a long time and often, and with their real money.

Online casinos don’t want you to withdraw your winnings

When you win a decent amount of money at an online casino, the ideal thing to do is to withdraw it.
However, casinos want you to do something other than that. Instead, they want you to keep gambling, hoping to win even more. In the end, there is a chance that you will lose everything you won and more.

That’s why it’s better to set a winning goal and leave the online casino when you reach it.

The hype around jackpot winners is not accidental

Casinos go to great lengths to get people to spend money. It applies to both land-based and online gambling establishments. Both illegal and completely honest.
Casinos love advertising and excitement around the enormous payouts they make to lucky players who hit the jackpot. Such sums are often life-changing. So they want you to believe you can win the same amount. It is their way of getting you to register, deposit, and play. If you hope to win big, the casino will grab hold of you.

Card counting is not illegal

Land-based casinos are more guilty of this than online sites. However, if you visit live casino sites, this applies to games in the rooms.
Card counting is something that experienced players can use in these games. Knowing which cards have already come and gone gives you an advantage. However, some casinos prefer you to have something other than this kind of knowledge. It puts them at a disadvantage. The thing is, if you can do it, it’s not illegal. So take advantage of it if you can.

What probably happened to Qin Gang

What probably happened to Qin Gang.

The following is a compilation of a plot-line that seems to have solidified on international social media.

No one knows for certain what is going on in regards to the Qin saga, however, internet sleuth armies (many located inside of China) have pieced together this most-probable scenario. Knowing what I know of the quality of the “keyboard warriors” of China, the sleuthing tends to be of high quality and speculation is kept at a minimum. Its another animal all together compared to the West.

Is this explanation the full story? No.

For internet sleuthing, the amount of detail, with names, dates, times, and actions are all very *specific*. It is a great amount of detail. This suggests a Chinese government “seeding” effort into social media as opposed to an “organic” discovery.

But, please keep in mind that this is the best explanation that you will ever get. It is the story with the highest probability. And keep in mind that the Chinese government, though its “unofficial” key-board warriors DOES actually “seed” narratives onto social media.

On 26/6/2023 — Qin Gang received a phone call from a mysterious ANDRE asking him to meet at a secret location in Beijing

QG was about to refuse when Andre said it was about “FU” or Fu Xiaotian, his mistress or girlfriend.

QG decided to travel alone and meet Andre who confirmed he worked for the CIA and revealed pictures and secret tapes of QG and Fu and their affair and confirmed that Fu was a CIA Asset.

• Andre = CIA agent
• Fu = CIA asset

Andre informed QG that he would either [1] see that these photos delivered to the Security Committee and his wife and made public or [2] he would have to do whatever the CIA wanted him to do.

QG nodded and Andre said he would mail the instructions and call him for their next meeting.

…

However QG drove straight to the Security Committee and confessed the entire affair plus the blackmail.

The Committee [1] recorded his statement and [2] imposed a section 15(iii) violation — Ethical and Moral Breach, and [3] placed him on leave from that moment on.

As he left, three security men followed him, his regular driver was gone and instead Captain Wen of the MSS was at the wheel

At Zhonganhai, his home was covered by security guards.

…

Andre watched as the MSS men began to hunt for him and realized he had made a mistake with the Chinese Foreign Minister.

Westerners usually cracked under blackmail but QG came clean mainly because being a misguided philanderer was better than being a traitor to his country.

Andre fled China as fast as possible to Taipei realizing that the mission had failed and Fu (the CIA sponsored mistress) was blown.

---

On 3/7/2023 — the Security committee decided to impose a full investigation on every member of the ministry who had meetings with QG and 181 officials fell under suspicion and were investigated.

Xi Jingping who was notified agreed that the safest course was to give the Foreign Ministry to Wang Yi, a man above suspicion and not in QGs sphere of influence in the last year.

Qin Gang came clean and revealed all aspects of the affair after which his phone and laptops and suits were examined for bugs.

There were none.

It was likely that now that QG would live in Beijing and it was impossible for Fu to follow him there, the CIA rushed things.

China couldn’t blame the CIA because that would expose China.

So instead China continued with Wang Yi.

After many days the committee decided that Qin Gang had not divulged any state secrets and that Fu was part of a long term operation that had been accelarated due to QGs sudden promotion to Foreign Minister.

Thus Qin Gang was retained as State Councillor and as Party Member.

He will never leave China now.

His Passport was confiscated on 26/6/2023.

He will be under surveillance for life or until he turns 80 or if a later standing committee votes against the same.

Of the 181 others —69 have been cleared fully and 46 more have been cleared for their last 3 years activities.

Likely by 1/1/24 — a new foreign minister will replace QG — someone chosen by Wang Yi from his old guard

Andre (CIA agent)

Andre was found at 4:45 AM.

His mouth was gaping open and he had suffered a massive seizure.

His mouth was purple and a needle prick was found near his lower right elbow.

On 18/7/23, he was buried anonymously under the name of Regis Waller (1971–2023)

The Experts found traces of substances that seemed similar in composition to NOVICHOK.

Fu Xiaotian (Mistress)

Fu is in a safe house in Brazil waiting for evacuation to Vancouver under a false name and terrified of retaliation.

Reminds me of a scene from the Sopranos

Exactly like the show.

What does U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken think about Chinese diplomats’ negotiation skills?

Americans were once pretty decent diplomats

Today all they want to do is LOOK TOUGH AND TALK TOUGH

So they are all bullies

From Madeline Albright to Powell to Rice to Hilary Clinton to John Kerry to Pompeo to Blinken — their message is always the same

You better do what we say or else…

British diplomats always want to look condescending to Asian & Middle Eastern & African countries

European & American diplomats always threaten Asian, African and Middle Eastern countries

US Diplomats have all but forgotten the art of quid pro quo

It’s all about being terrified of “Looking Weak”

The result is they are more and more hawkish than ever

If you don’t have a democratic system, then you are a dictatorship and a threat to the world

If you don’t do what I say, i will sanction you or embargo you

If you don’t stand against Russia, i will create a color revolution and ensure you are defeated in elections

---

Blinken is one of these diplomats

Now Chinese Diplomats are DIAMETRICALLY OPPOSITE

They always believe in deals that benefit everyone so that nobody leaves with a grudge

Nobody LOSES FACE

They are terrified of LOSING FACE and they would do anything in their power to not lose face

When Nancy Pelosi went to Taiwan, the Diplomat Wang Yi lost a lot of face

He regained his face and gained even more face after his Solomon Island deal and the SAUDI IRAN DEAL that helped him gain so much face that we was rewarded plentifully with a huge promotion to the Politburo

Zhao Lijian on the other hand, got a promotion and a higher salary but he LOST FACE and that meant his power and his responsibilities have reduced

---

So US vs China is always a tough battle

Both sets of Diplomats have their restrictions

US diplomats cannot appear weak so they threaten and posture

Chinese diplomats cannot lose face so they react and cause US to lose more face

It’s a vicious circle

However Chinese Diplomats are reasonable while US Diplomats are not. They won’t yield a millimeter at any cost but demand that China does.

As US becomes less and less of the only Superpower in the World , their stubbornness will rise accordingly

China meanwhile have a 5000 year civilization and their diplomacy is much different and they won’t put with the US and it’s brash bullyboy tactics

So one side has to yield or be made to yield

The jury is out on who

---

So who are US Diplomats are terrified of?

Yep the Taliban

When a 14 year boy can smilingly cut blinkens granddaughters throat and laugh saying Allahu Akbar and happily get shot believing he will be in Jannat

That’s enough to terrify the living daylights of any American including a Pentagon Five Star General

In 2001, Afghanistan was an isolated nation

Today 4.7 Million Afghans are in US and at least 30% are pro Taliban having infiltrated through as victims

If a single mullah asks them to do god’s work and kill 7 Women and Kids before sacrificing their lives — US would fold in a week and make a compromise

Stuxnet | The Computer Virus That Caused World War 3

STUXNET. The virus that prevented; then started the next world war. Cyberwar is being waged right now in your name.

No matter what country you call home, your government is engaged in highly dangerous combat on the Internet. Infrastructure around the world is under siege and everyone is at risk. Even you.

In 2010, the Stuxnet virus was discovered in Natanz, Iran and thousands of control systems that operate factories, power plants and nuclear reactors around the world.

It was 20 times more sophisticated than any malware ever recorded.

It could halt oil pipelines, destroy water treatment plants and bring down entire power grids.

Stuxnet is back, stronger than ever. And we should all be concerned.

Cyber-security experts knew Stuxnet wasn’t ordinary malware thrown together by some basement hacker. This was something different.
