Nuland needs a shovelling.
That’s a truth don’t you know.
The world is pinging on the “shit meter”. The world is being sprayed with kerosene and the American bat-shit crazy neocons are playing with matches. Jesus.
I need a drink.
What makes the situation all the more dangerous is that Western media are working shamelessly to promote the war agenda.
Russian fishing trawlers are on stealth missions to spy on transatlantic communications and sabotage energy supplies in Europe, according to a coordinated “investigation” by European state-owned media outlets.
Excuse the pun, but there is something putridly fishy about this Russian trawler story.
Britain’s state-owned BBC reported that its counterparts in Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden are this week airing the results of a joint investigation (sic), which makes the frightening (sic) claim that the Kremlin has ordered a fleet of disguised ships to tap undersea telecom cables and sabotage wind farms in the North Sea.
Western media standards have been degrading over many years now. But this latest concerted public orchestration is scraping the bottom. Apart from no evidence to substantiate the breathless story, it is also plainly admitted that the claims rely on Nordic intelligence agencies as sources. It is well known from previous Wikileaks’ disclosures and other reputable sources that the Nordic state intelligence apparatus is a surrogate for the American CIA.
So, here we have government-owned media bombarding European nations with propaganda blatantly intended to whip up public fear of Russia as a threat.
This is while the United States and its NATO allies are due to begin over the next few weeks conducting the biggest-ever military maneuvers in the Nordic region. These war games dubbed “Defender 23” will stretch over several months and involve the largest transfer of U.S. troops to Europe since the supposed end of the Cold War more than 30 years ago. The deployment of NATO forces near Russia’s western border is brazenly touted as forming a “war fighting alliance”, reports the New York Times approvingly.
This massive Washington-led mobilization of tens of thousands of troops, warplanes and naval vessels in Russia’s backyard is happening at the same time that the United States and its NATO partners are pumping weapons to a rabidly anti-Russian regime in Ukraine. We know from recent Pentagon leaks that American and Western special forces are confirmed to be on the ground in Ukraine fighting against Russia. All this is somehow normalized by Western media while these same media are animated to scare their public about mysterious Russian fishing trawlers that are allegedly planning to spy on phone calls and cut off power supply from wind farms.
The gaslighting going on is truly awesome. For while the Western media try to scare the public with outlandish and unverified speculative tales about Russian villains allegedly trying to spy on European civilians and sabotage power supplies in Europe, the actual real world is willfully ignored.
The recent Pentagon leaks confirm what Wikileaks and former NSA analyst Edward Snowden have long ago revealed. Namely, that the U.S. state intelligence agencies are routinely spying on their NATO allies.
Secondly, never mind about speculated Russian intentions to blow up North Sea wind farms, what about the actual blowing up of the Nord Stream gas pipelines under the Baltic Sea? Those pipelines, which took more than a decade to construct at a cost of over $20 billion to deliver affordable natural gas from Russia to Europe, were mined by the United States and NATO accomplices last September.
The sabotage of the Nord Stream pipelines, as reported over two months ago by renowned investigative journalist Seymour Hersh, was ordered personally by U.S. President Joe Biden with the deliberate objective of cutting off Europe from Russian energy. It was a gargantuan act of state terrorism and arguably an act of war against Russia. Washington’s treachery involves impoverishing Europe to make it a captive slave of American capitalism.
The Western media have systematically blanked out any in-depth reporting on Seymour Hersh’s investigation. Instead of carrying out their own follow-up investigations, these bastions of “free press” have sought to distract and muddy the waters with claims fed to them by Western intelligence agencies. The New York Times, Washington Post and German media have tried to flog absurd reports about “pro-Ukrainian militants” bombing the Nord Stream pipelines using a yacht.
The Scandinavian countries have reportedly carried out preliminary investigations into the Nord Stream incident but they have refused to disclose their findings and they have also denied Russia access to their research data – even though Russia is the major shareholder of the bombed infrastructure.
Washington and its European allies have stonewalled all calls made by Russia and China for the United Nations Security Council to commission an independent probe into the Nord Stream sabotage – potentially a crime of the century.
Incredibly, the BBC report this week on “ghost Russian trawlers” purportedly menacing undersea cables and wind farms did not make a single mention of the credible allegations that the United States and its NATO partners blew up the Nord Stream pipelines.
The BBC, New York Times and other Western media outlets have become nothing but dirty laundromats for Western intelligence services with the relentless mission of smearing Russia over Ukraine and China over Taiwan. It’s a feat of Orwellian achievement where the aggressors are made into victims and defenders. Western reportage on Russia and China has become a travesty. It is out-and-out demonization with no pretense of factual balance or historical context.
We are living in perilous times of war that could escalate into nuclear conflagration. The United States and its imperialist European vassals are pushing war as a last-gasp bid to prop up Washington’s waning unipolar hegemony.
What makes the situation all the more dangerous is that Western media are working shamelessly to promote the war agenda.
Turkish Interior Minister Suleyman Soylu Claims “The Whole World Hates America
He’s got a point. Fair dinkum statement: Turkish Interior Minister Suleyman Soylu Claims “The Whole World Hates America”
Turkish Interior Minister Süleyman Soylu Criticizes America and Europe
In a bold statement, Turkish Interior Minister Süleyman Soylu has claimed that “the whole world hates America” while suggesting that Europe is merely a pawn of the United States. Soylu further downplayed Europe’s significance, asserting that it is a trend in America’s column.
Soylu’s Comments Reflect Anti-American Sentiments
Süleyman Soylu’s remarks reflect a growing anti-American sentiment in some segments of the international community. By claiming that “the whole world hates America,” Soylu is highlighting the perception that the United States is losing credibility on the global stage. This sentiment can be attributed to various factors, such as foreign policy decisions, economic policies, and perceived cultural dominance.
Soylu’s characterization of Europe as an American pawn suggests that he believes the continent lacks independence and is heavily influenced by the United States. By stating, “There is no such thing as Europe. There is America. Europe is a trend in the Americas column,”
Soylu implies that Europe’s actions and policies are primarily driven by American interests rather than its own.
This perspective further underscores Soylu’s negative view of the United States and its global influence.
I need a drink.
I mean. Sheeee-it!
Seriously, the fences are being torn town with everyone and their dogs flowing into China to do business, but all the “news” media wants to talk about is war in Taiwan!
What the FUCK?
Why Do People Still Buy Vinyl Records?
Some people claim that vinyl sounds better than digital formats and will shut their ears to any arguments to the contrary.
There is plenty of evidence out there supporting these claims, especially when you compare pre-compression era recordings to modern mastering.
There are also people who will tell you that a digital format such as a cd will never have the same sound quality as vinyl.
Most of the proponents of that argument base their pinions on the earliest examples of said format, conveniently ignoring the fact that quality has increased significantly since the 80s.
Personally, I have heard more depth and musical detail in vinyl than in digital formats.
Most of the time… I’ve had a few experiences where I was really impressed with a digital copy over its vinyl cousin.
I’m a professional musician and I pay pretty close attention to music when a critical opinion is required.
As for convenience, there’s no doubt that digital wins.
When I’m out running errands or heading to and from work, I plug in to my DAP and happily go about my business.
Likewise, if I’m puttering around the house cleaning and doing laundry or working out, it’s super easy to hit shuffle and get moving.
But when I really want to sit and listen and enjoy my music, I go for my records.
Vinyl requires a certain level of engagement.
You can’t throw a record on shuffle and forget about it.
You need to go flip that thing every 20 minutes and choose what you’re going to listen to next.
You reach without needing to look for an old, well-worn favorite whose sleeve has seen better days or you flip through you collection and find something you haven’t listened to in a while.
Maybe you’ve got a friend over our perhaps a date and you share the experience with them.
The covers and inner sleeves are meant to be looked at.
Often you get a sense of what sorry of music you’re in for based on the artwork.
The point is that you’re staying involved in the music rather than it just becoming background noise.
There are the trendy ones.
The hipsters who buy into vinyl because it’s “retro” and they think it’s cool to have something that’s outdated. I’m glad they’re into it!
The hipsters that are spending their money on records on related paraphernalia are fueling a resurgence in the vinyl industry and that means good things for guys like me who love records.
I don’t think that either cds or vinyl records are better. They both have their merits and benefits. I do have my own preference though!

Excellent speech packed with facts by an African leader
My GOD! This is a MUST Watch! Watch the entire thing.
- IMF (USA) interest rate = 31.0%
- Chinese interest rate = 2.5%
As a Chinese, since I was very young (~40+ years ago) we were told that 亚非拉 (Asia, Africa and Latin America) are brothers and sisters, and that we should help our brothers and sisters when we can. I agreed with that but was very confused because we were so poor - very difficult to imagine how we could help. Now I'm so glad to see it happening. Not saying Chinese are totally selfless like saints. But I'm pretty sure most of them are doing it with good faith.
China’s BRI into Africa, China has built in African Countries:
- – 13,000 km of Railway
- – 80 Large Scale Power Facilities
- – 130 Medical Facilities
- – 45 Sport Venues
- – 200 Schools
Just the Railway development alone, China hired 130,000 local African workers.
Africa states that “China is a worthy partner in its efforts to break the age-old poverty trap based on centuries of underdevelopment”.
Centuries of USA loans and Africa has nothing to show for it because USA keep printing USD’s, weakening the loan pay backs from African Countries to USA, keeping them in perpetual poverty in a Debt Trap.
Whereas China’s BRI have 21st Century, AI Robotic Trading infrastructures actually BUILT for them by China, of which China gets 51% of the NEW trading gains to Africa for 20 years, and then Africa gets to own the entire infrastructures.
From the 33 African Countries in the BRI, 63% of their populations view China as a positive influence on the African Continent.
Deborah Brautigam (USA Political Scientist International Expert and Director of the China Africa Research) wrote, “The Chinese Debt Trap is a Myth” February 2021.
So, the United States is dying off, and it’s a painful thing to watch.

What You Should Know About Health Insurance in The US
Health insurance in the USA is deliberately tedious to deal with, because it obfuscates how much you are actually paying to the insurance company versus how much they actually pay out. In the United States, healthcare is a privilege of the wealthy. While you can get free temporary care if you are homeless, the majority of Americans must buy insurance as a protection against illness.
No. You cannot go to a hospital and pay in cash for services unless you have a trunk full of $100 bills.
The policies given out these days are mostly high deductible health plans and work the same way. There are some terms you should understand if you are unfortunate enough to live inside the United States.
Premium
This is what you pay out of your check each pay period for the plan.
This is the obvious up front cost. Health insurance premiums are taken from pre-tax money you earn and that should also factor into your decision on cost. If you have to come out of pocket for healthcare with after-tax money you’re paying that amount plus whatever income tax you paid on those earnings. That said, there are few reasonable plans where you can pay everything up front.
Usually, the trade off is that if you pay more up front for the premium you pay less later out of pocket. A lower premium means a higher out of pocket cost.
This isn’t always bad. If you are generally healthy and don’t go to the doctor and can cover the out of pocket cost in the event of an emergency then taking a higher deductible might save you money at the end of the year assuming that emergency never comes up.
I want to stress that if you do something like that, you want to have the out of pocket money available in case something does happen.
Deductible
This is the amount you have to pay out of pocket each year before the insurance will cover anything at all. Your premium does not cover any of this.
Co-Insurance
With some policies once you pay the deductible you are covered 100% afterwards. Plans that do that usually cost more up front in premiums.
With most other plans what they do instead when you reach the deductible is start paying a percentage for each procedure usually around 80% (can vary). When they do this 80/20 split they call this co-insurance. The insurance company pays that percentage until you reach your out of pocket maximum.
Out of Pocket Maximum
This is the maximum you have to pay out of pocket each year before the insurance company will start paying everything 100%. Your premium is not counted against this.
The most confusing part is that with co-insurance the deductible is not your out of pocket maximum. You might have a $1500 deductible and then have to pay another few thousand dollars to reach your out of pocket maximum.
It’s important to understand though, that the money you pay towards the deductible counts towards your out of pocket maximum. So, if you have an out of pocket maximum of $6500 and you pay $1500 towards the deductible you only have another $5000 to pay to reach the out of pocket maximum.
It can also be a bit confusing understanding that once that 80/20 co-insurance kicks in, only the 20% you pay is counted towards your out of pocket maximum. In the above 80/20 case if you have $5000 you have to pay to get to the maximum after you hit co-insurance, the insurance company will have been billed $25000 by the time you get to your max.
Insurance pays 80% – $20000
You pay 20% – $5000
HSA
In many cases these plans include a Health Savings Account that you can put money into pre-tax from your paycheck. The maximum you can put in per year is determined by the type of plan (single or family), but is usually set up to be right around the amount you need to pay out of pocket to satisfy your out of pocket maximum.
If you know that you go to the doctor regularly for service and will come out of pocket then it is smart to put money into the HSA to cover those expenses, because it is tax free money and it’s also your money, you control it, not your job. For instance, with my family we usually reach our out of pocket maximum before the end of each year so we take enough out of each paycheck to cover that.
Some employers will contribute a lump sump to your HSA, so if you have a choice between a non-HSA plan and one with an HSA check how much your employer will contribute to the HSA. Whatever they contribute becomes your money that you can use for medical expenses.
The other thing to note is that HSA funds do not have to be used in the same year they are deposited. They will carry over from year to year if unused.
The Reset
One more thing. The deductible, co-insurance and out of pocket maximum reset each calendar year (people have pointed out that some plans have ‘plan years’ which still run for a year, but start and end at different times of the year, unbelievable). Meaning you have to pay all of that again the next year.
If you reach your out of pocket maximum during a calendar (or plan) year take advantage of it if you or your family need further medical care. Have your doctors schedule as much as possible before the end of the year because it’s all on the insurance company at that point.
– MrBleah
Now, let me summarize…
This above is overly confusing, eh? Well, yeah it is. This is what it was like in 2007 when I was still in the USA…
- You MUST buy health insurance. Cost is expensive around $5000/month for the cheapest plan. That’s the Obama Care Act.
- If you opt out, then you will pay a tax fee for not buying insurance. Just a couple of thousand dollars.
- Once you pay for insurance, you must pay for the medical care up to the deductible. Which is often (at least) $10,000.
- Then the insurance pays a portion of the costs. Often 40%, maybe as high as 80%, but more only than not, on the low side.
That was how it worked when I lived in the USA. Now, I live in China. No insurance. Not excessive costs. Everything is affordable.
But the “news” says that America has the best medical care.
Whatever.
I don’t fucking care.
It’s a fucking mess. Case closed.
Fuck this shit. Enjoy a fine steak…

Chinese EV car marker (BYD) is a leader in EV car sales, their win-win joint venture across the globe will enable them to expand their market across the world.
On April 16, FAW-Toyota joint venture launched the bZ3 ‘electric Corrola’ in China, starting at 169,800 yuan (24,700 USD). Soon after the launch, Toyota announced it received 5000 orders for the new EV. bZ3 is Toyota’s first electric sedan and only second pure EV in the lineup – so behind the Japanese carmaker is. Their first electric car was a bZ4x SUV launched last year. The bZ3 is built on Toyota’s e-TNGA platform and features lots of BYD tech inside, including an LFP Blade battery and an electric engine from Fudi Motor, a BYD subsidiary. Regarding body dimensions, the bZ3 has a length, width, and height of 4725mm, 1835mm, and 1475mm, respectively, along with a wheelbase of 2880mm.
Freelance Airline Pilot Passes Along Quiet info . . .
Today I received an email from a freelance aircraft pilot. I thought you might find his information interesting, especially the part where Insurance Companies are allegedly NO LONGER ISURING PILOTS WHO ARE VACCINATED.
Here is the e-mail:
U R G E N T - S I T U A T I O N Big fan. You seem to be one of the only vocal people that’s actually awake. Please keep me anonymous. I use this as a troll account and for staying connected with all my conspiracy folks, political news, porn, comedy…etc! I work as a pilot part time. I do freelance for pax and some times cargo on heavy jets. You’ll hear this in the mainstream news in the coming months. As a contractor that’s type rated on several aircraft, I work with multiple airlines, private jet companies and aerial tour agencies. There’s an ongoing coverup of the amount of Pilots dying at the cockpit. There’s no technical emergencies. I know of At least 3 SouthWest Pilots who passed out during a briefing on ground. All vaccinated. Ages between 58 and the youngest was 31. But here’s the kicker, Insurance companies are refusing to insure pilots who got vaccinated or boosted. They are considered a priority 1 risk.
But wait, he has more to pass along:
On a separate note, we have been flying in large cargo boxes into Gatwick, Amsterdam, New York, Melbourne, and DFW over the past 3 months. The boxes are shipments of a drug called Oseltamivir and another called peramivir. We have never moved this much tonnage of a single product. I’ve personally done 5 runs full cargo on a 757. It’s the treatment drug for a avian flu virus H5N1. Apparently the only avian flu that’s recently been announced transfers to humans. Something is cooking. There are snakes in the grass. Stay vigilant. Please keep me anonymous. Thank you! Capt. D

Artist Illustrates How His Adopted Cat Helped Him Cope With Depression Over The Past 2 Months
Yash Pandit is an artist from Mumbai, India who has been struggling with mental health problems for a while now. And recently he received much-needed help from someone unexpected – a cat named Bagheera.
In an interview with Bored Panda, the artist said he always wanted a dark-colored cat. “There’s always this stupid superstition surrounding dark cats about them being bad luck, so not many people wanted him anyway,” said Yash. “But mostly because out of all of the kittens there, he was the one I connected with, he was very calm. loving and always looking to cause some mischief. I fell in love with him the moment I saw him.”
The artist said that his new cat is a true rascal. “He will convince you that he’s sweet and calm, and then pounce on you when you look away. He’s the most friendly cat I’ve ever seen, has no problem in loving and greeting anyone new. He’s smart enough to pretend that he’s fallen asleep but also thinks his shadow is another cat and starts pouncing on it,” said Yash. He said that Bagheera loves to watch Fresh Prince of Bel-Air with him and that the cat won’t fall asleep until Yash puts on Frank Ocean songs. “I love him with all my life,” says the artist.
The artist suffered from Type 1 rapid-cycling bipolar disorder, depression, and anxiety. He says the latter were by-products of his primary disorder. “I have a therapist and a psychiatrist, and I have a strict regime of therapy and medications that I follow religiously to keep my disorder under my control,” revealed Yash.

The artist believes that it’s absolutely important to seek proper health for mental health disorders. “A lot of people mistook this comic as my cat being the sole reason that I’m out of my depression, which is not true. I had to work hard, get therapy, take my medication on time,” said Yash.
Given that close monitoring online (online surveillance) now begins at an early age, digital hygiene should be well taken care of ever since one’s childhood.
There seems to be an illusion with the inexperienced internet users that only some individuals are being closely monitored and secretly ‘surveilled’ online. An ordinary user tends to think that to secretly monitor and listen to an unsuspecting online user is too costly and complicated and that one particular individual, he or she i.e. a simple user, is not particularly interesting to anybody to be listened to or closely monitored at all.
But the facts have no mercy; data storage and information saving are nowadays rather affordable and so called ‘big data’ about each user has been being saved continually for about eight to ten years now, because those who closely monitor us, cannot possibly know what and who a student of today will be in ten or fifteen years (for instance a member of Parliament, a high-ranking civil servant, a successful businessman or perhaps what position the current middle level employee will hold in three to four years and who he or she will work with in the future.
To closely monitor hundreds of millions of users in the form of online surveillance is technically possible nowadays and it is not prohibitively expensive so that it is being done by many individuals in the USA and globally.
There are so called ‘markers’ – sensitive points, points of interest – which are determined by way of automatic procedures of mass data processing. Data analysis is at present rather inexpensive. Those individuals who perform the close monitoring of others are not even particularly interested in any particular individual precisely, but by means of the information conversion into its impact – on whom out of a huge number of users in the form of online surveillance in the course of years and years of close monitoring compromising data can be collated on this person’s relations, weaknesses, tendencies etc.
Thus, each individual should be wary of his or her own digital hygiene, especially a civil servant, a politician, a manager, a business person, a high-visibility person, or a celebrity and a person of high repute in any area of interest, that is, all those who already can be viewed as the risk group and who are already subject to close monitoring (surveillance) and influence. Given that close monitoring online (online surveillance) now begins at an early age, digital hygiene should be well taken care of ever since one’s childhood, because the collated compromising material about any child being simply prone to some mischief typical of a child, will be ‘precious’ at his or her adult ripe age, when the child of today becomes an adult, mature person who may well change their own views of the world in due time.
It is obvious that close monitoring (surveillance) online of people of significance is being carried out meticulously and in great detail, and complete with planting trojan horse programmes into one’s computer by blending all the channels of communication together by monitoring his or her immediate digital vicinity.
This new digital reality of literally total visibility and high risk calls for new rules of digital hygiene.
Anonymity: Is It Possible to Not Leave a Trace?
Person 1. Hello, is this the anonymous phone number of the FSB?
Person 2. Yes, Mikhail Petrovich, yes it is. We are here for you. What would you like to tell us?
Internet users seem to think that they can keep their privacy and remain anonymous and invisible if they so wish, entering the online network via anonymous accounts under the disguise of their avatars and nicknames, using various anonymizers which hide their own IP address, virtual private VPN networks which hide one’s IP address, private virtual addresses, entering the web via TOR network, without any police or special services cannot recognize this ‘cunning’ user and/or closely monitor.
There is some partial truth in it though. It is possible for a person to exist without being noticed and act in digital space if one possesses the knowledge and expertise of a professional hacker or a digital spy. Fortunately or not, this body of knowledge and habits are unavailable to most of the users.
An ordinary user continually leaves his or her own digital trace, which can use for his or her certain identification if there is interest to do so and with the appropriate tools,
Signature: Digital Fingerprints
Using digital devices with internet access, we continually, with each moment in time, create unique ‘digital fingerprints’ and traces of our actions and of our digital environment. These are called ‘signatures’ (from its Latin linguistic root to sign).
For instance, in geoanalytics, there is the rule of four points based on which ones you tend to visit most often one can analyse your personality. One point, for example, the underground station near your home is visited by tens of thousands of people with smartphones in their pockets and at the same time, two points: one in close proximity to your house and another point in immediate vicinity to your work are visited by just a few thousand people. Three points – two underground stations and your favourite restaurant – now the number narrows down to only a few dozens of people with smartphones in their pockets. And if they add your mum’s address, to which you go once or twice a week or the address of your gym – you will be the only person with that combination of geographical points you go to.
That is your individual geographical digital signature, your own ‘digital fingerprint’. Such digital signatures are aplenty and these get to be decoded by a huge number of those who closely monitor you (online and digital surveillance of a person).
Your browsing history i.e. the list of websites you visit on a daily basis forms your unique digital ‘impression’ of your browsers (search engines) both in the logs (journals) of your browsers, as well as the cloud of its producer and also in countless marketing and advertising systems and ‘the counters’ on the internet.
It might be possible that for your own unique accurate identification there need not be four websites being visited but for instance fourteen but that is not that relevant.
As a general rule, if the vector, which is a set of digits, made up of the traces you leave behind you (the geographical points, the website you visit, downloaded apps) is long enough, it defenitely identifies you perfectly well without any doubt. For example, if you post statuses on social media with an anonymous nickname, in that case you form a minimum vector of dates in time and the exact times these were posted and the comments and even regardless of their contents).
From the point of view of the internet provider you form one particular time vector = the dates and the times of going online.
The first vector is known by the users of social media – the platforms and the surveillance programmes for close monitoring of social media. The second time vector is known by your home internet provider or your mobile operator, which does not see your social media posts, but as a general rule, is familiar with your personal identity.
By way of blending and crossing these vectors for instance upon the formal request of legal investigation authorities (such as law enforcement, the courts of justice etc), one’s allegedly anonymous identity can be decoded relatively easily.
Yes, all the vectors of all the internet users will have to be viewed more closely and compared with the vector of your social media posts. This task is rather technical and can be resolved pretty easily with the internet servers of today and their technical capabilities.
All in all, one should bear in mind that your unique digital signature consists of:
1 factory identifier IMEI of your smart phone
- the list of apps and files on your device such as your laptop or your mobile phone which is available to many devices and apps, your antivirus, your computer viruses and your Trojans, your browser, your operating system, your office apps and all the office apps of your colleagues etc
- your Bluetooth environment – all the devices your Bluetooth gets in touch with to share data or which it has ever got in touch with and joined digitally, your music devices at home or in your car, your ear phones, your voice tools etc.
- your Wi-fi environment – a list of all the Wi-fi devices around your place of work or your home.
- your browser history – a list of the websites and internet services you regularly visit
- your list of friends on social media – your social impression is unique even if you decide to use a pseudonym to go online. That list exists with the social media platform as such, and with all the ‘monitoring’ programmes and in your browser as well.
- your lexical signature – a group of your favourite words, phrases and sayings, and even a unique combination of your common typos
- your face and faces of others on your photos and videos on social media – a combination of all the faces including yours among others, is also a unique identifier.
- your geographical signature – a list of your routes and geographical points you go to, either in your own city or outside. It exists in your navigator or your navigation apps
- your voice signature – your voice digital footprint or ‘impression’ you leave either while using your mobile phone or the microphone on your laptop.
- your search list key words – apart from the situational keywords to search depending on the situation, there are regular search keywords you often look up and type in, and their combination is certainly unique i.e. your own, and it exists on your favourite search engine and browser.
- your list of favourite topics – for examples in the news portal
- a list of the devices in your neighbourhood – for example, your internet provider ‘can see’ which other mobile devices are normally in the immediate vicinity such as your family members or close colleagues.
And the list goes on. All these signatures are saved in your smartphone and in a huge number of those independent viewers unrelated to you (advertising systems, mobile operators, internet providers, browsers, search engines, social media, online platforms, apps etc).
If by any chance some signature is missing, during the process of identification, other signatures can be added among those listed above, and then that combination will definitely be unique: your own combination.
What we have just pointed out above means that even an anonymous user on the web leaves his or her unique digital traces and ‘footprints’. If you have two accounts, one for regular communication under your real name and another one which is anonymous, rest assured that these can be automatically connected by analysing their signatures.
SpaceX “StarShip” Blows-up Mid-Flight
Sad. -MM
The test flight of SpaceX Corporation’s new “StarShip” ended in a fiery explosion as the Automated Flight Termination system blew up the rocket just minutes after liftoff from its launchpad in Texas.
All seemed to be going well after lift-off but minutes into the flight, at least five of the “Raptor” rocket engines turned off. The remaining 28 engines brought the rocket into “Max Q” which is the part of flight with the most dynamic stress on the vehicle, and while in MaxQ, the rocket began going off course and spinning.
A few short minutes later, the Automated Flight Termination system determined the rocket was no longer safe, and blew-up the ship so as to prevent a catastrophe if the rocket plummeted to earth.
While this test flight failed, there are literally mountains of data that have been received about the flight, the condition of the ship, and likely, whatever caused the flight to fail.
Now, it’s up to technicians and scientists to analyze that data, figure out what went wrong, and make changes in order to try again.
Bear in mind the entire purpose of this flight was to TEST the new StarShip and its design. Tests often fail, which is how improvements get made so that, at some point, flights will be successful. IT is literally trial-and-error. This is how progress gets made.
At some point in the future, SpaceX believes it will be able to safely carry humans to and from the moon, and other planets.
Full Text of US puppet in EU suddenly praised China after she visited China:
Mr President, Minister, Dear Josep, Honourable Members, During my trip to China this month, I was fortunate to be in Beijing on the day of the Qingming Festival – one of the most traditional Chinese holidays. It is a day to honour and pay respect to past generations. And it is part of the very rich history and culture of China that certainly fascinates and captures the imagination of people all around the world. Seeing this country again first hand only reinforced my deep admiration and respect for the people of China. For centuries they have helped to shape world civilization. And in the last decades, they have really transformed the economy of their country, lifting more than 800 million people out of poverty in the last 45 years. We should never lose sight of the magnitude of this transformation into a modern-day economic powerhouse, key global player and a leader in many of the cutting-edge technologies that will certainly shape the next decades of global civilization and progress. This international and economic status – as well as our own interests – make it all the more important for Europe to manage its relations with China. For me, that also shows that decoupling is clearly not viable, desirable or even practical for Europe. But as I said back in January and as I set out in more detail a few weeks ago, there is clearly a need for Europe to work on de-risking some important and sensitive parts of our relationship. So de-risking but not decoupling. Much has been said about this since I set out the principles of this de-risking strategy. And even more has been said since the last trip. In many ways, that reaction is good because Europe needs to have this discussion. And so, I want to first and foremost thank the Parliament for putting this debate on today. It is urgent and it is good that we have this debate. Most importantly, I say this because this relationship is too important for us not to define our own European strategy and principles for engagement with China. I believe we can – and we must – carve out our own distinct European approach that also leaves space for us to cooperate with other partners, too. And the starting point for this is the need to have a shared and very clear-eyed picture of the risks and the opportunities in our engagement with China. And this means acknowledging – as well as clearly saying – that the Chinese Communist Party's actions have now caught up with its stated ambitions and the hardening of China's overall strategic posture over the last years. For example, the shows of military force in the South China Sea, in the East China Sea, and at the border with India, directly affect our partners and their legitimate interests. Or on the issue with Taiwan. The EU's ‘One China' policy is long-standing. We have consistently called for peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait and we stand strongly against any unilateral change of the status quo, in particular by the use of force. We must also never shy away from talking about the deeply concerning and grave human rights violations in Xinjiang. And just as China has been ramping up its military posture, it has also ramped up its policy of economic and trade coercion as we have seen from Lithuania to Australia and the targeting of everything from pop bands to trade brands. We have also seen these tactics directed right here in the House of European democracy. And I want to express my solidarity to those Members of the European Parliament who have been unfairly sanctioned by the Chinese Communist Party just for calling out human right violations. And all this is symptomatic for the fact that China has now turned the page on the era of ‘reform and opening' and is moving into a new era of ‘security and control'. I heard this in Beijing from many European companies who have witnessed first-hand this shift towards security and away from the logic of open markets and free trade. And to strengthen that security and control leverage, China is openly pursuing a policy of reducing its dependency on the world – that is completely okay, that is their right –, but while increasing the world's dependency on itself. You know the examples, for example, whether it is on critical raw materials or the renewable energy, on emerging tech like artificial intelligence, quantum computing or biotech. Honourable Members, Having this clear-eyed assessment of the Chinese Communist Party's actions and direction of travel – actually, including its relations with Putin's Russia and its attitude towards the war in Ukraine – is a pre-requisite for today's discussion. And it will allow us to develop an approach that is tailored to our economic and national security imperatives. One that we can all rally around. And one that is clearly understood in Europe, in the world and crucially also in China itself. And this last point is one of the key reasons I felt it was important to make the trip to Beijing alongside President Macron. It was a chance to discuss with President Xi the shared challenges that we need to work on together – whether in our bilateral trading relation or on global issues like debt relief, climate change and nuclear non-proliferation. But equally important, the trip was necessary to ensure that we are as honest and clear in our messaging in Beijing as we are in Brussels or here in Strasbourg. This is a core part of our efforts to de-risk through diplomacy – by reducing the space for misunderstanding and miscommunication regardless of how difficult the conversations may be. The point I made in Beijing is that we do not want to cut economic, societal, political and scientific ties. We have many strong links and China is a vital trading partner – our trade represents some EUR 2.3 billion a day. Most of our trade in goods and services remains mutually beneficial. But there is an urgent need to rebalance our relationship on the basis of transparency, predictability and reciprocity. What we want is China to respect the level playing field when it comes to access for our companies to the Chinese market, to respect transparency about subsidies, to respect the intellectual property. And beyond this, we also know that there are some areas where trade and investment poses risks to our economic and national security, particularly in the context of China's explicit fusion of its military and commercial sectors. This is why the central part of our future China strategy must be economic de-risking. There are four key areas for us to work on which I want to very briefly touch on. The first is taking a critical look at our own resilience and dependency and making our own economy and industry more competitive and more resilient. This is the work we have been doing together – you know it, it began in the investment in the green and the digital through NextGenerationEU, to the pillars of our industrial policy and the landmark Acts – you know them too –, it is the Chips Act, it is the Critical Raw Materials Act and it is the Net-Zero Industry Act. And Leaders signed up to it in Versailles during the French Presidency. So now we must keep strengthening our resilience and sovereignty in key areas – you know them all –, it is energy, it is health and pharmaceutical products, it is food security, but also of course when it comes to our defence capabilities. The second point is becoming bolder and better at using our existing trade defence instruments. We have given ourselves the right tools to deal with security concerns and economic distortions. So we must be more assertive in using them when we need them. And I want to take this opportunity to thank the Parliament for its leadership in agreeing on the new anti-coercion instrument just a few weeks ago. The third element is the need to look at where we need to work on new tools for some critical sectors. We need to ensure that our companies' capital, their expertise, their knowledge are not used to enhance the military and intelligence capabilities of those who are also our systemic rivals. That cannot be. So we have to look at where there are gaps in our toolbox which allow the leakage of emerging and sensitive technologies through investments in other countries. This is why we are currently reflecting on if – and how – Europe should develop an instrument on outbound investment for a very small number but very sensitive technologies. This will form part of a new Economic Security Strategy which the Commission will put forward in the coming months. The fourth principle is cooperation with partners, whether on economic security or on trade – whether with partners we are close to in the G7 or with those with whom we have looser ties but some shared interests. This will be a core part of diversification and the strengthening of the resilience of our supply chains to reduce our own vulnerabilities. Honourable Members, As the High Representative said, in 2019, the Commission and the EEAS collectively proposed a strategic update of our China policy. Since then, the world has changed enormously. China has changed. Europe has changed. That is why our European strategy has to adapt, too. A few weeks ago, when I gave my speech on China, I said that ‘a strong European China policy relies on strong coordination between Member States and EU institutions, and on a willingness to avoid the divide and conquer tactics that we know we may face.' We have already in the recent days and weeks seen those tactics in action. And it is now time for Europe to move to action, too. Now is the time to demonstrate our collective will, it is time to jointly define what success looks like, and to show that unity that makes us strong. And in this sense, I say: Long live Europe. Thank you.

How Do People Afford To Live In NYC?
Beat's me. I never could figure that one out. But the smart people are leaving and moving to "greener pastures". Good for you all! -MM
This is a complicated question, I used to be a NYC rental broker so can answer this question as it relates to real estate.
-
- There is still a lot of rent stabilized and some rent controlled apartments. These apartments are significantly lower than market rate. There are people paying $2000 and under for 1 and 2 BR apts. those people NEVER LEAVE. They do the best they can with the finishes and condition of the apt, sometimes negotiating with the landlord for some basic upgrades but they NEVER LEAVE. They even treat their stabilized or controlled status as a sort of asset that can be passed down to other relatives who are occupants to the apt. So if you’re paying very low rent, this can definitely help you with cost of living.
- Roommates– Roommate culture is huge in NYC. Many people survive with roommates cutting the rent in half or more depending on how many roommates. There is such a thing as “Flexing” an apartment so to make an extra room out of the living room. A 600sqft 1BR can potentally be “Flexed” into a 600sqft 2BR with no living room A cheap 2300 1BR split between 2 is only $1150 a month each. To qualify for that portion of the rent you only need to make $46K which is really a starting salary for young professionals in NYC.
- Higher Salaries-NYC salaries are huge compared to other parts of the country. And that’s mainly because they account for the higher cost of living. You can be starting at $55K and still struggling if your looking to live in prime NYC neighborhoods. People working on Wall Street with big five figure bonuses are really just making upper middle class. Especially families that choose to stay in the city. Include the cost of childcare and you can easily be living hand to mouth.
- Rich Kids from other parts of the country: They say NYC is the playground for the rich. For some reason all the young rich kids like to live in this city. They have parents who are able to co-sign on their apartments. Mind you, a requirement for a consigning on a apt that costs $2500 is $200K in income. The cost upfront for an apartment can easily exceed 10K. I’ve seen parents give their kids 3K monthly stipends! If only their parents could adopt me!
There’s a variety of factors that make it possible for people to afford city living. I would consider prime (south of 96th st) NYC to be difficult for most people to afford. The cost of living for basic things like groceries and dry cleaning tend to be higher in these neighborhoods.
Good thing there are other reasonable nearby neighborhoods in Brooklyn, Queens, Upper Manhattan, and New Jersey where you can still find reasonable rent but with a short commute.

Indonesia helping to create an atmosphere inside Taiwan?
Jakarta drafting Taiwan pullout plan for citizens - Taipei Times The Indonesian government has drawn up a contingency plan to evacuate Indonesians in Taiwan amid rising concern over tensions across the Taiwan Strait. The emergency plan would involve evacuating 350,000 Indonesian nationals from Taiwan as “geopolitical conditions surrounding Taiwan have not abated,” Indonesian newspaper Kompas reported on Friday. “To anticipate various possibilities, a contingency plan has been prepared in collaboration with the Indonesian Economic and Trade Office in Taipei,” Indonesian Ministry of Foreign Affairs Director for Indonesian Citizen Protection Judha Nugraha was quoted as saying…
Paris Stock Exchange EURONEXT Building Taken Over by Protestors
.
The Paris Stock Exchange EURONEXT building was brought to an abrupt halt today as hundreds of Protestors stormed past security and entered the building with flares, signs, horns, and other disruptive devices, to protest President Emmanuel Macron’s pension reform plan.
The building is located in the La Défense business district, just on the outskirts of the capital.
“railway workers and others” are seen chanting and waving union flags. Additionally, a Euronext spokeswoman stated that the protest had concluded by 1 p.m. local time. Moreover, the protestors “had no impact on its operations and hadn’t disrupted trading.”
I need to overdose on FUNK!
Stay positive. Smile. Do something nice.

Look, I can talk about write about anything. But the truth is that what I am seeing inside of China, and with all the changes in the Geo-political arena is completely different from what the “news media” is saying.
What is the United States problem?
One of many, many…many. It seems.
Taiwan: Washington’s Quest to Provoke A Chinese War
Eric Striker • April 11, 2023
This week, the People’s Liberation Army conducted aggressive military exercises in the South China sea. This act was a forceful response to the Taiwanese President’s meeting with Kevin McCarthy, where the two figures reaffirmed a mutual interest in “defending democracy.”
The display is unusual for two reasons. The first, is that the Chinese generally shy from gratuitous displays of force, so this should be taken seriously. The military drills were strikingly reminiscent to ones conducted by Russia on the eve of the Ukraine war.
The second, is the ludicrous fact that Washington does not even recognize Taiwan as a nation.
The US government gave up claims to the territory it controlled as a semi-colony when negotiating Chinese support for a common front against the Soviet Union. Chinese ownership of Taiwan was officially acknowledged in the 1972 Shanghai Communique authored by Henry Kissinger and presented by Richard Nixon. The 1955 Sino-American Mutual Defense Treaty, which compels the US military to defend Taiwan in the case of a mainland invasion, was officially terminated in 1980 when Washington formally established diplomatic ties with China.
With the Soviet Union gone and China beginning to forge its identity as a world power, the self-selected judge, jury and executioner of the “rules based international order” has decided these agreements are no longer convenient and have, over the decades, used legalisms to establish the rat-like policy of “strategic ambiguity” on the matter of Taiwan.
But things are no longer so ambiguous. Following the Ukraine script, the Pentagon and State Department are now moving forward on furnishing Taiwan with billions of dollars worth of arms on top of the steady trickle of weapons the Biden Administration has already been sending. The US has a backlog of over $12 billion dollars worth of weaponry earmarked to “Ukrainize” Taiwan combined with an anti-China disinformation campaign seeking to stoke jingoism. This is a brazen provocation. Prior to this foreign interloping, China was on track for peaceful reunification, now in the blink of an eye, we have Lindsay Graham stating he would support sending US troops to fight them over the island.
In the post-Iraq era, nobody believes the saccharine self-righteous lectures about Truth, Justice and the American Way unless they’re paid to pretend to. Geopolitical analysts across the ideological spectrum have correctly identified the imperial economics behind the US government’s bellicose finger in China’s eye: Taiwan produces the majority of the world’s semiconductors, which are requisite parts of virtually all advanced electronic innovations from smartphones to modern automobiles. Possession of a monopoly on the production of this specialized technology, observers say, would allow China unprecedented global influence.
The Pentagon’s newspeak about Taiwanese sovereignty becomes increasingly preposterous when listening to some of the spastic outbursts emanating from our unelected national security hierarchs. At a March Global Security Forum in Qatar, former White House National Security Advisor Robert O’Brien stated that the United States was planning to blow up all of Taiwan’s semiconductor factories in the event of a Chinese military intervention. Such a brash action could instantly wipe trillions from the world economy and plunge the world into a depression. Some would argue that O’Brien may have been blowing hot air, but his words follow a pattern of incompetence and reckless disregard by Washington’s gay Jewish fanatics, who The Times has reported actually instructed Ukrainian forces to use HIMARs artillery to attack Europe’s largest power plant in Zaporizhzhia!
The semiconductor industry certainly plays an important role in the Sino-American stand-off, but economics alone are not the primary motive for Washington’s over-the-top aggression, which is so unhinged that it is even scaring some of its most loyal subjects.
The real dilemma for globalists is not that a non-Western state will control chip manufacturing, as some have theorized. US companies leaving China are moving chip manufacturing to nearby India and Vietnam. The real source of their protestation is that China’s influence could enable countries to have more say over their own affairs!
The Chinese government’s foreign policy doctrine is The Five Principles of Peaceful Co-Existence, which presents a direct challenge to the post-1945 Open Society model implemented by the Jewish controlled Allies, which Xi Jinping made clear in a recent meeting with Vladimir Putin. The Chinese model proposes an international system dictated by rational self-interest and Westphalian assumptions of national sovereignty. We can see this philosophy play out in Chinese brokered peace agreements between Saudi Arabia and Iran, a development that could bring stark relief to the bloody sectarianism that has engulfed the Muslim world for decades but enrages Jews in America and Israel. Xi’s offer to mediate peace between Ukraine and Russia is finding audiences in Europe and even some interest in Kiev, and China is a background participant in the Russian project to bring Syria and Turkey to the negotiating table.
The prospect of peace and stability appeals to the overwhelming majority of humanity, but the Jews and homosexual freaks flying down the wrong side of the highway at 120 miles per hour in Washington and New York are outraged because losing the monopoly on force nudges their unnatural and dangerous global aspirations to the sidelines.
Standing in the way is NATO, which is currently expanding into an Indo-Pacific “partnership” featuring liberal vassal states Japan, South Korea and Australia. This strategic alliance’s sole purpose is to manufacture a geopolitical problem for China where it otherwise does not exist. The purpose of this front is to combine economic and military power of several nations to arbitrarily dictate terms to nation-states — not only China, as the post-Soviet collapse actions of NATO have shown — and replace them with a single world order centered around enforcing the WW2 Allies’ self-serving definitions of “human rights” and “democracy.”
This ideology of “human rights and democracy” translates to establishing institutions that disempower ethnic majorities (especially in nations that embrace it), water down the state so that social and national policies are dictated by private wealthy individuals that put money and cosmopolitanism over nationhood, and full integration into an international construct of selectively enforced human rights laws that grants jurisdiction over day-to-day domestic affairs and defers an immediate influence sphere to global entities controlled by the people indoctrinated by Jews in this nonsense at elite schools in the US and parts of Western Europe.
Naturally, most countries that haven’t already been taken over reject this. That is why the post-1945 liberal order spreads death and chaos, insulting our intelligence by saying it is on humanitarian grounds. Exporting disgusting values, erasing unique peoples and cultures and cranking open markets for Wall Street predators by starting fires on every corner of the planet is a goal they strive for.
The Jew Barry Pavel, who has served in the Department of Defense and National Security Council, summarized this Bolshevistic ideology in NATO’s Atlantic Council publication in 2014. He asserts that the United States should actively combat Westphalianism by utilizing new technologies such as “3D and 4D printing, a biotechnology explosion, robotics, algorithms, big data and later, quantum computing” to manufacture subversion and instigate civil wars around the world. “It is this nexus of greater individual autonomy and more powerful and personalized capabilities that defines the coming era of people power,” Pavel declared.
Rather than US foreign policy aiming to build good-fences-good-neighbors diplomacy, Pavel recommends the tenets of Permanent Revolution, “when thinking about our world today and the value the United States places on regional stability, it becomes clear that this strategy is no longer viable. Washington needs a dynamic framework to deal with a dynamic world.”
Former Secretary General of NATO Javier Solana expressed an earlier iteration of this in a 1998 speech celebrating the bombing campaign against Serbia. Solana declared that common sense principles like non-interference and ethnic nationalism were obsolete and immoral, and that liberal values must be spread with sanctions, bullets and bombs because “democracies remain far better equipped to deal peacefully with the challenges of modernisation and globalisation” and “it remains a fact that open, multi-cultural societies are the best insurance against excesses of the kind we have seen in Bosnia.”
Traditionally, the Washington-London-Paris axis has sought passive measures when confronted by large, nuclear armed powers, though this has changed in the face of Russian assertiveness. US policy towards China since the 1980s was to shower the country with American capital at the expense of the economic interests of the domestic population, which has both failed in changing China and simultaneously played a role in turning much of the white working class against the government at home.
From the vantage point of arrogant policymakers, capitalists would benefit from the highly skilled but relatively cheap Chinese work force as well as its vast consumer market, with the downstream effect of creating a a young cosmopolitan middle class steeped in the values of Jewish low-culture — Hollywood, celebrity fixations, pop music, social media, etc. These young people would then breath in the political ideology of the American system in Western universities, which clearly didn’t work since both Trump and Biden have implemented policy denying Chinese students new visas while FBI agents badger those who are already here. US foreign policy authors also projected that local billionaires could be bought off and compromised through Jewish financial influence, thus creating a political challenge for the Chinese state that would allow for liberalization.
This project has been a bust. The Chinese state remains the authority in the country, and serious domestic opposition vanished after the mass execution of CIA assets burned by double agents and intelligence community incompetence. Young Chinese students in America focus on taking STEM classes and then use it to make their own country better, while contract workers at American companies often engage in espionage and patent theft. The Chinese Communist Party has shown resolve in cracking down on billionaire interests that conflict with national well-being, even if it financially hurts in the short-term — something so unthinkable in liberal plutocracies that even the best minds in Washington couldn’t foresee it.
One highlight in this see-saw dynamic between the Chinese state and capital has been the government’s fight with Alibaba founder Jack Ma, who in 2019 signed on to a joint venture with Wall Street hedge fund firm Vanguard to create the digital bank Ant Financial. Ma was being groomed by Western media as a potential candidate for Pavel’s concept of “personalized power” as a Steve Jobs type figure that for some reason should be deferred to on political and ethical matters because he’s a good businessman. But Ma’s drift into the clutches of foreign money as well as his outspoken support for liberalizing finance provoked backlash from the Chinese state. In the years following his statements, Alibaba was subjected to record shattering trust-busting fines and a takeover of key parts of Ant Financial by state owned enterprises. Now in 2023, Ma has been stripped of his influence and jettisoned from public life. Vanguard announced last March that it was planning to abandon the Chinese market and the CCP does not care.
Vanguard is not alone. The Jewish Open Society’s battering ram of US private equity has decreased investments in China by 76% year-over-year, suggesting frustrations that go beyond “zero-COVID.” Some bad actors, such as Blackrock and Michael Bloomberg wish to keep a foot in the door, but they are being heavily scrutinized for it by Jewish Wall Street compatriots like George Soros, who is a key figure behind the Biden administration’s escalation of Trump-era anti-China saber-rattling.
Other social engineering projects have also hit brick walls. US 5th Generation warfare operatives often zero in on recruiting and manipulating homosexuals and young women in relatively developed nations, but in China, feminists lauded in the New York Times as trailblazers for seeking to create sexual harassment moral panics or import Western “battle of the sexes” politics are not imprisoned, as this would only make them martyrs, but socially shamed and mocked. The Chinese government looks the other way as young men troll them off the internet or tech companies deplatform them. Unlike many other countries that tolerate society-wrecking Jewish funded NGOs in exchange for US and European investment, Chinese authorities do not shy from cracking down on foreign NGOs using their version of the espionage act, something the US government would also do if it were ever faced with substantial outside meddling.
In the US, conservatives make a lot of noise about combating “woke” Disney, but Jewish CEO Bob Iger is much more afraid of China. Hollywood relies on the country’s massive market to stay profitable, even as they express muted anguish over the state’s policy of unrelentingly censoring the sick garbage and propaganda they put in children’s films. Bipartisan congressional hearings have even summoned movie studio heads over the issue, complaining that fear of offending Chinese sensibilities may be causing Jews in control of our creative sector to hold back from going even further in repulsing normal people.
US hard power in Taiwan is a desperate last-ditch effort to stymie the inevitable after decades of soft power have failed to undermine China’s proud Hans. The lunatics in the Pentagon prefer to engage in gangsterism and childish mischief against a nuclear power with the largest army in the world over learning to mind their own business and competing in good faith.
The drive behind every American foreign policy decision is not up for debate, it is not merely about money. Peace and diplomacy is much more profitable than war. Emanant scholar Michael Hudson, who spent years working in prominent think tanks, summarized the American national security establishment best, “I’ve met the national security types when I was at the Hudson Institute for many years. They are crazy. They are filled with hatred of the stories about their families suffering in the Holocaust. They look at the rest of the world as potential enemies who want to put them in the gas chambers. These are twisted people.”
In truth, America is as much of a police state as China, except in the latter they have the benefit of violent crime being unheard of. Here in the land of human rights and democracy we have FBI agents spying on people in our churches and sketchy indictments of political opponents for disagreeing with maybe 10% of the Washington consensus. But every system functions this way, what distinguishes the Chinese one is that it defends the interests of its majority race while the US system — private and public — operates for the exclusive benefit of a small minority that openly says it hates the majority.
We must have a state that respects and preserves our European state-building majority, makes business and finance accountable, and punishes those who deserve it. We must immediately cease our policy of starting wars, spreading anarchy, and imposing toxic values that are killing us as well as others. Our goal should be to have strong borders and a formidable defense force while engaging with the world in a constructive and peaceful fashion.
But first we must take back our nation back!
No war for Taiwan!
