Big Nothing. Some of us Americans expecting Armageddon following mid terms got stores food fuel generators on ready but nothing. I wish the grand inevitable of whatever would just happen and be done with it!
Some might find today’s speech by Xi Jinping of value since it offers an alternative pathway for the planet.
Nothing newsworthy, however, for BigLie Media, which turned Trudeau into Xi Peng’s victim.
Xi Peng supposedly “humiliated” him when the headline should’ve called out Trudeau for lying again.
Don’t believe me?
Watch this…
This never gets boring to watch it again.
https://twitter.com/TPostMillennial/status/1593056590965243904
Note how Xi doesn’t even make eye contact with the Turd. Zero respect for the cockroach.
Out of 34 provinces, only four are smaller than Canada’s entire population. In Xi’s eyes Trudeau ranks as an underage minor provincial governor.
Did Xi Jinping actually school Trudeau at G20? What was it about?
Trudeau is way out of his depth with a leader of the caliber of XI Jingping, Trudeau is just an immature kid compared to one of the greatest leaders ever in our world, what a fool Trudeau made of himself and his nation !
Xi Jingping and Trudeau covered a variety of topics when they met.
Many of these Topics were sensitive and Trudeau revealed (all of) them to the press.
So Xi Jingping confronted him.
- Xi Peng told him that he had told everything they had discussed to the reporters without a modicum of privacy.
- He said if everything they spoke of appeared in the paper the next day, what was the point of closed confidential dialog?
Trudeau responded saying…
- There isn’t any secrets.
- Free Speech and Open Dialog was Canadian Policy.
Xi responded…
- “Is that why you banned all the Russian Channels.. You and your Hypocrisy”
Trudeau was stumped by this, this was what everyone means when they state that this was a “schooling of Trudeau”.
Xi continued and said…
- “You have your own definition of what is public and what is private and that is wrong”
Trudeau now a bit abashed responded
- “Of course, we will strive to ensure that both China and Canada can have mutually beneficial dialog”
Xi responded tartly and succinctly, even dismissively…
- “First we have to create such Conditions, have a good day”
And abandoned Trudeau. He left him standing there like a young schoolboy.
Even as a mere spectator just watching how Xi expressed his displeasure but at the same time displaying a very measured body language which balanced both frustration and disappointment without outward aggression makes me feel very humbled by such a deft politician. Xi’s choice of words and at the end an extension of a hand shake (instead of a blatant walk off) reflects a very mature and practical character.
First – It is my belief that Xi Jingping understands English
At one point Xi responded to Trudeaus Free Speech assertion with the Russian Ban before his translator could interpret the words. Xi was steamed up and his immediate response to Trudeau before his translator indicates that Xi at least understands English
Second – Who was at Fault?
Trudeau of course
Closed Door Meetings are not to be revealed and that pissed off Xi.
Yet my favorite moment was when Trudeau Pompously spoke of Canadian Freedom and Xi retaliated “So that’s why you banned all Russian Channels? Freedom? “
Trudeau was a bit embarrassed
Xi simply called him out, and then dismissed him. In the eyes of Xi Peng, Trudeau had lost all respect for himself, AND for his nation.
This Taiwanese lady explained the Xi and Trudea footage in detail.
From HERE I just listened to the video I attached again. 1. XI Confronted TRUDEAU, (turn the volume to max to hear) , I saw Xi use his hand pointing at the press conference platform , and says "报纸上见。。。不合适" ,the English translator :" everything we discuss is leaked, not appropriate " 2) Xi said: "而且,我们也不是那样进行的"English translator:" and that is not all the way the conversation was conducted" 3) Xi said: " 如果有诚心, 咱们再进行拭目以待很好的合作,否则,这个结果就泡汤了"the translator : 'if there is..." and Trudeau interrupted. My translation of Xi statement is "if there is sincerity, we can then engage in the anticipated cooperation, otherwise, the outcome is gone" 4) Trudea talk shit about "values" , you need just to listen a few more time on max volume yourself " and Xi replied:" 创造条件, 创造条件。" the translator: "let's create the conditions first" 5) Xi said "好" ,than shaked Trudeau hand, and walk away. The meaning of 好 here is," OK" and walked away.
Why do some mainland Chinese see the Western democratic system as a joke these days?
Speaking of jokes, I have actually read a joke about the true meaning of western democracy:
Before dying, an American farmer asked his son, "The pigs complain about poor feed, the cows complain about too much work, and the chickens complain that the house is too dirty. What should you do?
The son said: "feed the pigs good fodder, cattle do light work, clean the henhouse."
The farmer shook his head and said, Don't do anything. Give them a vote and let them choose you or your wife rule them, and let them think they're the ones who call the shots in this house."
Better transport routes between Russia and China
Russia and China have opened traffic over the railway bridge across the Amur River....Russia and China have started traffic on the first railway bridge over the Amur River on the Nizhneleninskoye-Tongjiang cross-border section, the Russian Direct Investment Fund (RDIF) said in a press release on Wednesday. The bridge opens up a new transport corridor between Russia and China, removing a number of existing infrastructure constraints. The distance for the transportation of goods to the northern provinces of China will be reduced by more than 700 km compared to the existing routes,” RDIF noted. Its opening will increase the competitiveness of Russian and Chinese companies and ensure a predictable schedule for freight and cargo traffic, affordable raw materials and energy resources, as well as increase the capacity of railway lines between the Russian Federation and China by 1.5 times.

The G20’s Balinese geopolitical dance
From
by Pepe Escobar for the Asia Times and the Saker blog, posted by permission
Balinese culture, a perpetual exercise in sophisticated subtlety, makes no distinction between the secular and the supernatural – sekala and niskala.
Sekala is what our senses may discern. As in the ritualized gestures of world leaders – real and minor – at a highly polarized G20.
Niskala is what cannot be sensed directly and can only be “suggested”. And that also applies to geopolitics.
The Balinese highlight may have featured an intersection of sekala and niskala: the much ballyhooed Xi-Biden face-to-face (or face to earpiece).
The Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs preferred to cut to the chase, selecting the Top Two highlights.
1. Xi told Biden – rather, his earpiece – that Taiwan independence is simply out of the question.
2. Xi also hopes that NATO, EU and US will engage in “comprehensive dialogue” with Moscow.
Asian cultures – be they Balinese or Confucianist – are non-confrontational. Xi laid out three layers of common interests: prevent conflict and confrontation, leading to peaceful coexistence; benefit from each other’s development; and promote post-COVID global recovery, tackle climate change and face regional problems via coordination.
Significantly, the 3h30 meeting happened at the Chinese delegation’s residence in Bali, and not at the G20 venue. And it was requested by the White House.
Biden, according to the Chinese, affirmed that the US does not seek a New Cold War; does not support “Taiwan independence”; does not support “two Chinas” or “one China, one Taiwan”; does not seek “decoupling” from China; and does not want to contain China.
Now tell that to the Straussians/neo-cons/neoliberalcons bent on containing China. Reality spells out that Xi has few reasons to take “Biden” – rather the combo writing every script in the background – at face value. So as it stands, we remain in niskala.
That zero-sum game
Indonesian President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo was dealt a terrible hand: how to hold a G20 to discuss food and energy security, sustainable development, and climate issues, when everything under the sun is polarized by the war in Ukraine.
Widodo did his best, urging all at the G20 to “end the war”, with a subtle hint that “being responsible means creating not zero-sum situations.”
The problem is a great deal of the G20 arrived in Bali bent on zero-sum – seeking confrontation (with Russia) and hardly any diplomatic conversation.
The US and UK delegations avowedly wanted to snub Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov every step of the way. France and Germany is a different matter: Lavrov did speak briefly with both Macron and Scholz. And told them Kiev wants no negotiation.
Lavrov also revealed something quite significant for the Global South:
“US and the EU have given the UN Secretary General written promises that restrictions on the export of Russian grain and fertilizers will be lifted – let’s see how this is implemented.”
The traditional group photo ahead of the G20 – a staple of every summit in Asia – had to be delayed. Because – who else – “Biden” and Sunak, US and UK, refused to be in the same picture with Lavrov.
Such childish, un-diplomatic hysterics is profoundly disrespectful towards ritual Balinese graciousness, politeness and a non-confrontational ethos.
The Western spin is that “most G20 countries” wanted to condemn Russia in Ukraine. Nonsense. Diplomatic sources hinted it may be in fact a 50/50 split. Condemnation comes from Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, South Korea, UK, US and EU. Non-condemnation from Argentina, Brazil, China, India, Indonesia, Mexico, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Turkiye and of course Russia.
Graphically: Global South against Global North.
So the joint statement will refer to the impacts of the “war in Ukraine” on the global economy, and not “Russia’s war in Ukraine”.
The collapse of the EU economy
What was not happening in Bali enveloped the island in an extra layer of niskala. Which brings us to Ankara.
The fog thickened because on the backdrop of the G20, the US and Russia were talking in Ankara, represented by CIA director William Burns and SVR (Foreign Intel) director Sergei Naryshkin.
No one knows what exactly was being negotiated. A ceasefire is only one among possible scenarios. And yet heated rhetoric from NATO in Brussels to Kiev suggests escalation prevailing over some sort of reconciliation.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov was adamant; de facto and de jure, Ukraine can’t and does not want to negotiate. So the Special Military Operation (SMO) will continue.
NATO is training fresh units. Next possible targets are the Zaporizhzhya nuclear power plant and the left bank of the Dnieper – or even more pressure in the north of Lugansk. For their part, Russian military channels advance the possibility of a winter offensive on Nikolaev: only 30 km away from Russian positions.
Serious Russian military analysts know what serious Pentagon analysts must also know: Russia used at best only 10% of its military potential so far. No regular forces; most of them are DPR and LPR militias, Wagner commandos, Kadyrov’s Chechens and volunteers.
The Americans suddenly interested in talking, and Macron and Scholz approaching Lavrov, point to the heart of the matter: the EU and the UK may not survive next winter, 2023-2024, without Gazprom.
The IEA has calculated that the overall deficit by then will approach 30 billion cubic meters. And that presupposes “ideal” circumstances this coming winter: mostly warm; China still under lockdowns; much lower gas consumption in Europe; even increased production (from Norway?)
The IEA ‘s models are working with two or three waves of price increases in the next 12 months. EU budgets are already on red alert – compensating the losses caused by the current energy suicide. By the end of 2023, that may reach 1 trillion euros.
Any additional, unpredictable costs throughout 2023 mean that the EU economy will completely collapse: industry shutdown across the spectrum, euro in free fall, rise of inflation, debt corroding every latitude from the Club Med nations to France and Germany.
Dominatrix Ursula von der Leyen, leading the European Commission (EC), of course should be discussing all that – in the interests of EU nations – with global players in Bali. Instead her only agenda, once again, was demonization of Russia. No niskala here; just tawdry cognitive dissonance.

Is there enough surplus LNG tanker capacity to replace Russian gas supplies to Europe?
If not, how long will it take to achieve the needed capacity? Can shipyards build LNG carriers fast enough?
No!!!!
There isnt.
#1 TANKERS
Germany alone needs 8.6 Billion Cubic Feet of Gas every day
Of this roughly 3.6 Billion Cubic Feet comes from Russia
An Average Single LNG Tanker can transport around 85,000 Tonnes of LNG which is equal to 4.13 Billion Cubic Feet
This means Germany would need 1 LNG Tanker every single day to fulfil its Gas Needs alone.
Even assuming Superfast Tankers – Thats still 50 Days turnaround time which means 49 Tankers
Lets take Europe as a whole.
Europe would need 127 Tankers of LNG with a 50 day turnaround capability.
Guess how many Tankers are available for LNG in the world?
Only 642!!!
Of this , 597 already have 14 year contracts , the earliest contract expiring in 2027
Another 25 have 7 year Contracts , the earliest contract expiring in 2023
There is a 99% chance that both contracts will be renewed
Thus only 20 Tankers are available for ferrying Gas to Europe
So Europe needs to build 127 Tankers or pay for 127 Tankers through a 30 yr lease method from China or South Korea
Divided over 10 Shipyards – thats still a minimum of 10 years to deliver such a fleet at a price of $ 65 – 70 Billion
#2 Liquefaction Infrastructure
Liquefying Natural Gas – then Gassifying them again post delivery is a Hugely Expensive procedure.
Yes for Countries with Large Populations like India and China where averages of 724 Million and 1091 Million people depend on the Gas – it becomes more economical. Yet for a coutry with 75.7 Million Gas Users like Germany – its enormously expensive on a per capita basis.
What would cost $ 9.2 per Capita per Year in India , at higher costs could cost $ 136 per Capita per year for Germany and $ 68 per capita for Europe. Thats $1.5 Trillion in Infrastructure investment for Europe.
#3 LNG Ports
Normal Ports cannot just unload LNG like its a Crate of Electronic Components.
You need specific Piped Structures to Load LNG from the Ships to the Ports and subsequently to distribute them across the Nation.
Today Europe has the LNG Port Structure for 11% LNG
Tomorrow to make it 55% LNG to replace Russian Gas- You will need to build 53 Ports or expand the existing Ports and build 19 Ports minimum
So there it is
→ 127 New Tankers
→ $ 1.5 Trillion Minimum Infrastructure Cost
→ 53 New Ports or UPgrades + 19 New Ports at around $ 650 Billion
→ Minimum 15 Years to finish all this
→ Plus Cost of LNG = 4.25 * Cost of Piped Gas ( 1 Tonne = 48700 Cft)
And Net Result?
The Average European is likely to pay 464% higher Energy Bills
Already yesterday a Man showed president Marcon how his 461 Euros energy Bill has risen to 625 Euros in a mere 8 months!!! Imagine paying almost 2300 Euros for the same energy!!!!
It is SIMPLY IMPOSSIBLE
“Nuclear” Cruise Missile Shot Down Over Kiev This Morning
This story was previously LOCKED for Subscribers Only so they could know before the general public. It is now unlocked. A Russian nuclear-capable X-55 cruise missile was shot down by Ukraine air defenses over the capital city of Kiev today. A photo of the wreckage and identification of the actual missile model, and type, appears below. The X-55 is designed specifically to carry a single, 200kt, nuclear warhead.
According to preliminary information, early this morning Ukrainian Armed Forces shot down two cruise missiles over the capital city of Kiev.
One of them was a Kh-55 model (Russian designation X-55) which was originally developed to carry a single, 200 kiloton, nuclear payload.
However, this specific missile did not contain any warhead at all – instead, it contained a dummy imitator of a nuclear warhead used for missile testing purposes.
Here is a photo of the downed cruise missile, with the dummy replacement warhead still intact, from Ukraine, this morning:
This was no accident. This was no error on the part of Russia; it was, it seems, a Warning.
Covert Intelligence communications circuits are a literal blur, with all sorts of transmissions about this incident because this took place just three days after US CIA Director visited his Russian counterpart and explicitly told Russia of the consequences of using a nuclear device against Ukraine.
CIA Director Bill Burns met with his Russian intelligence counterpart, Sergey Naryshkin, in Ankara, Turkey on Monday as part of an ongoing effort by the US to “communicate with Russia on managing risk.”
By sending the X-55, which had to be specifically pulled out of the actual Russian nuclear arsenal (they do not use this missile with conventional warheads) – the Russians are explicitly telling the US and NATO to “go fuck yourselves” and warning Ukraine, “the end is very near.” Put simply, today’s launch of this missile is Russia’s reply to the US CIA Director about “managing risks” and this reply shows the US they have some risk they better manage as well.
US Mass-media has previously reported that national security adviser Jake Sullivan has also been in touch with his Russian counterparts to warn them of the consequences should Russia use a nuclear weapon in Ukraine.
Today’s deployment and firing of a Russian X-55 shows that both Sullivan and Burns have not made any valuable impression upon Russia.
Now, there is a conventional variant of the X-55, the kh-555. Russia had used Kh-555 missiles to strike Ukraine before – these are “regular” rockets loaded with non-nuclear explosives. Meanwhile, the Kh-55 missile is the original model designed specifically to carry nuclear warheads.
Simply put, Kh-55 and Kh-555 use basically the same rocket, but with a different payload. However, it is simply impossible for this to be an accident; the X-55 cruise missile itself would have had to be pulled from Russia’s separate and segregated nuclear storage. They don’t have these missiles just laying around everywhere so someone could grab one by mistake.
This is, perhaps, the single most frightening display of Russia’s willingness to win, ever undertaken. This incident changes everything for the US and for NATO because it makes clear the Russians will not back down, are not intimidated, and will not stop no matter what the US or NATO do.
Intel Circuits are blazing with the interpretation that this is a final warning to Kiev and to the US/EU/NATO.
It was just a couple weeks ago that news outlets in the US and EU reported word from a senior US Intelligence official that there had been “worrisome developments with Russia’s nuclear arsenal.” At the time, the official would not say what those developments were. Now, we know.
Maximus Defeats The Tigris of Gaul | Gladiator (2000)
I like this statement:
“The US now fears it may lose a war with China over Taiwan, and China has impressive new weapons on display. This helped motivate Washington’s new emphasis on war avoidance.”
This is why, historically, the CCP often displayed new weaponries each time US displaying tendency in starting a war。
SunZi says: 不战而屈人之兵(caving/containing the enemy without a war)is the highest form of warfare.
War avoidance is always the best strategy for China..
Russia, India, China, Iran: the Quad that really matters
By Pepe Escobar cross-posted on PressTV and the Saker blog and posted with the author’s permission
Southeast Asia is right at the center of international relations for a whole week viz a viz three consecutive summits: Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN) summit in Phnom Penh, the Group of Twenty (G20) summit in Bali, and the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit in Bangkok.
Eighteen nations accounting for roughly half of the global economy represented at the first in-person ASEAN summit since the Covid-19 pandemic in Cambodia: the ASEAN 10, Japan, South Korea, China, India, US, Russia, Australia, and New Zealand.
With characteristic Asian politeness, the summit chair, Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen (or “Colombian”, according to the so-called “leader of the free world”), said the plenary meeting was somewhat heated, but the atmosphere was not tense: “Leaders talked in a mature way, no one left.”
It was up to Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov to express what was really significant at the end of the summit.
While praising the “inclusive, open, equal structure of security and cooperation at ASEAN”, Lavrov stressed how Europe and NATO “want to militarize the region in order to contain Russia and China’s interests in the Indo-Pacific.”
A manifestation of this policy is how “AUKUS is openly aiming at confrontation in the South China Sea,” he said.
Lavrov also stressed how the West, via the NATO military alliance, is accepting ASEAN “only nominally” while promoting a completely “unclear” agenda.
What’s clear though is how NATO “has moved towards Russian borders several times and now declared at the Madrid summit that they have taken global responsibility.”
This leads us to the clincher: “NATO is moving their line of defense to the South China Sea.” And, Lavrov added, Beijing holds the same assessment.
Here, concisely, is the open “secret” of our current geopolitical incandescence. Washington’s number one priority is the containment of China. That implies blocking the EU from getting closer to the key Eurasia drivers – China, Russia, and Iran – engaged in building the world’s largest free trade/connectivity environment.
Adding to the decades-long hybrid war against Iran, the infinite weaponizing of the Ukrainian black hole fits into the initial stages of the battle.
For the Empire, Iran cannot profit from becoming a provider of cheap, quality energy to the EU. And in parallel, Russia must be cut off from the EU. The next step is to force the EU to cut itself off from China.
All that fits into the wildest, warped Straussian/neo-con wet dreams: to attack China, by emboldening Taiwan, first Russia must be weakened, via the instrumentalization (and destruction) of Ukraine.
And all along the scenario, Europe simply has no agency.
Putin, Raeisi and the Erdogan track
Real life across key Eurasia nodes reveals a completely different picture. Take the relaxed get-together in Tehran between Russia’s top security official Nikolai Patrushev and his Iranian counterpart Ali Shamkhani last week.
They discussed not only security matters but also serious business – as in turbo-charged trade.
The National Iranian Oil Company (NIOC) will sign a $40 billion deal next month with Gazprom, bypassing US sanctions, and encompassing the development of two gas fields and six oilfields, swaps in natural gas and oil products, LNG projects, and the construction of gas pipelines.
Immediately after the Patrushev-Shamkhani meeting, President Putin called President Ebrahim Raeisi to keep up the “interaction in politics, trade and the economy, including transport and logistics,” according to the Kremlin.
Iranian president reportedly more than “welcomed” the “strengthening” of Moscow-Tehran ties.
Patrushev unequivocally supported Tehran over the latest color revolution adventure perpetrated under the framework of the Empire’s endless hybrid war.
Iran and the EAEU are negotiating a Free Trade Agreement (FTA) in parallel to the swap deals with Russian oil. Soon, SWIFT may be completely bypassed. The whole Global South is watching.
Simultaneous to Putin’s phone call, Turkiye’s Recep Tayyip Erdogan – conducting his own diplomatic overdrive, and just back from a summit of Turkic nations in Samarkand – stressed that the US and the collective West are attacking Russia “almost without limits”.
Erdogan made it clear that Russia is a “powerful” state and commended its “great resistance”.
The response came exactly 24 hours later. Turkish intelligence cut to the chase, pointing out that the terrorist bombing in the perpetually busy Istiklal pedestrian street in Istanbul was designed in Kobane in northern Syria, which essentially responds to the US.
That constitutes a de-facto act of war and may unleash serious consequences, including a profound revision of Turkiye’s presence inside NATO.
Iran’s multi-track strategy
A Russia-Iran strategic alliance manifests itself practically as a historical inevitability. It recalls the time when the erstwhile USSR helped Iran militarily via North Korea, after an enforced US/Europe blockade.
Putin and Raeisi are taking it to the next level. Moscow and Tehran are developing a joint strategy to defeat the weaponization of sanctions by the collective West.
Iran, after all, has an absolutely stellar record of smashing variants of “maximum pressure” to bits. Also, it is now linked to a strategic nuclear umbrella offered by the “RICs” in BRICS (Russia, India, China).
So, Tehran may now plan to develop its massive economic potential within the framework of BRI, SCO, INSTC, the Eurasia Economic Union (EAEU), and the Russian-led Greater Eurasia Partnership.
Moscow’s game is pure sophistication: engaging in a high-level strategic oil alliance with Saudi Arabia while deepening its strategic partnership with Iran.
Immediately after Patrushev’s visit, Tehran announced the development of an indigenously built hypersonic ballistic missile, quite similar to the Russian KH-47 M2 Khinzal.
And the other significant news was connectivity-wise: the completion of part of a railway from strategic Chabahar Port to the border with Turkmenistan. That means imminent direct rail connectivity to the Central Asian, Russian and Chinese spheres.
Add to it the predominant role of OPEC+, the development of BRICS+, and the pan-Eurasian drive to pricing trade, insurance, security, investments in the ruble, yuan, rial, etc.
There’s also the fact that Tehran could not care less about the endless collective West procrastination on the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), commonly known as Iran nuclear deal: what really matters now is the deepening relationship with the “RICs” in BRICS.
Tehran refused to sign a tampered-with EU draft nuclear deal in Vienna. Brussels was enraged; no Iranian oil will “save” Europe, replacing Russian oil under a nonsensical cap to be imposed next month.
And Washington was enraged because it was betting on internal tensions to split OPEC.
Considering all of the above, no wonder US ‘Think Tankland’ is behaving like a bunch of headless chickens.
The queue to join BRICS
During the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) summit in Samarkand last September, it was already tacit to all players how the Empire is cannibalizing its closest allies.
And how, simultaneously, the shrinking NATO-sphere is turning inwards, with a focus on The Enemy Within, relentlessly corralling average citizens to march in lockstep behind total compliance with a two-pronged war – hybrid and otherwise – against imperial peer competitors Russia and China.
Now compare it with Chinese President Xi Jinping in Samarkand presenting China and Russia, together, as the top “responsible global powers” bent on securing the emergence of multipolarity.
Samarkand also reaffirmed the strategic political partnership between Russia and India (Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi called it an unbreakable friendship).
That was corroborated by the meeting between Lavrov and his Indian counterpart Subrahmanyam Jaishankar last week in Moscow.
Lavrov praised the strategic partnership in every crucial area – politics, trade and economics, investment, and technology, as well as “closely coordinated actions” at the UN Security Council, BRICS, SCO and the G20.
On BRICS, crucially, Lavrov confirmed that “over a dozen countries” are lining up for membership, including Iran: “We expect the work on coordinating the criteria and principles that should underlie BRICS expansion to not take much time”.
But first, the five members need to analyze the ground-breaking repercussions of an expanded BRICS+.
Once again: contrast. What is the EU’s “response” to these developments? Coming up with yet another sanctions package against Iran, targeting officials and entities “connected with security affairs” as well as companies, for their alleged “violence and repressions”.
“Diplomacy”, collective West-style, barely registers as bullying.
Back to the real economy – as in the gas front – the national interests of Russia, Iran and Turkiye are increasingly intertwined; and that is bound to influence developments in Syria, Iraq, and Libya, and will be a key factor to facilitate Erdogan’s re-election next year.
As it stands, Riyadh for all practical purposes has performed a stunning 180-degree maneuver against Washington via OPEC+. That may signify, even in a twisted way, the onset of a process of unification of Arab interests, guided by Moscow.
Stranger things have happened in modern history. Now appears to be the time for the Arab world to be finally ready to join the Quad that really matters: Russia, India, China, and Iran.
Why is Xiaomi phones so cheap even with high specs?
Because it’s not actually “cheap.”
A high-specced Mi 8 with a top-of-the-line Snapdragon 845 costs around $400. If you go to a country like, say Vietnam, $400 is enough for a person to live pretty comfortably, eating out at restaurants every day for a month. I could live lavishly for a month on $400 in my country.
It might not seem like much to, say, an American, but it’s not exactly cheap. Even an American who is down on his luck can easily live on $400 of groceries for a month. That’s beside the point, though.
How can Xiaomi afford to price this way? Easy. That’s because the cost to make the phone is actually way less than that. Does it cost $300? Nah. Probably way less. They aren’t thriving on a profit margin of just $100 per flagship. The phone itself probably cost less than $200 to make.
It’s not that Xiaomi is pricing their phones cheap. It’s just that other competitors are massively overpricing their phones to fill out their margins.
Galaxy S9 at $900? iPhone X at $1000? These phones probably cost around $300 to make. The S9 shares many parts with the Mi 8, so it probably is also cheaper than $300. One thing’s for sure, the S9 definitely doesn’t cost more than $400 to make, that’s the retail price of the Mi 8. Samsung is making at least $500 per phone here.
Xiaomi isn’t cheap. It’s just that Apple, Samsung and other competitors are just unreasonably expensive.
It’s not just that, though. Xiaomi does price aggressively. They can afford to do this because phones aren’t their only revenue source. Xiaomi — like Apple and Samsung — have other businesses where they make a lot of money. Their phones are just one way to funnel people to those businesses. Apple for instance actually makes a lot of their money from the iTunes ecosystem. They just choose to also make hefty margins off their hardware because they want to keep that premium exclusive status in their branding, unlike say Google who chooses to sell many products and services at a loss to funnel people into their search engine business.
Xioami uses their phones as a strategy to get people into their internet services business, which also contributes a decent chunk to Xiaomi’s revenues ($585 million last quarter). That said, Xiaomi’s biggest business is still phones sales ($4.5 billion last quarter — their next biggest business was selling TVs at $1.5 billion) — meaning they actually have huge margins on their “cheap” phones.
Xiaomi’s labor costs are definitely lower than Samsung’s and Apple’s overall, but the other big place they are saving on is advertising. Samsung and Apple spend billions on advertising and marketing. Xiaomi spends significantly less and only has very small online marketing campaigns.
Hugo Barra, Vice President of Xiaomi, also shared that their long phone product cycles lets them keep costs lower as they have more leeway in negotiating component prices, as they can keep using the same parts over and over instead of needing new and different parts for a new phone model. In addition, they keep a small portfolio of phones, so there’s not much need for variation in parts. Compare this with Samsung, that has tons of phones models available at any given time.
Combine all these with the better labor costs and closer sourcing components from Shenzhen, and they are able to save a lot and pinch much more pennies, savings which they pass on to the consumer.
EDIT: I wanted to add a little something to my answer. I dug up Xiaomi’s financials to make sure I wasn’t talking out of my butt. These are Xiaomi’s numbers from their first ever earnings call as a publicly-traded company.
Xiaomi Q2 2018 numbers taken from here
and you can get the actual data from Xiaomi in Chinese Yuan here
.
- Net Profit: $2.1 billion
- Total Revenue: $6.6 billion
- Phone Sales: $4.5 billion (67% of all revenue)
- TV and Fitness Bands: $1.5 billion
- Internet Services: $585 million
Lei Jun, Xiaomi’s CEO, has famously said that they keep hardware margins at 5%
. However if you look at the financials this is clearly not the case.
They aren’t making $2.1 billion net profit if their phone margins are just at 5%. That would mean they only made $225 million off phone sales and $75 million on TV sales ($300 million total), that’s $1.8 billion shy of their posted profits. $585 revenue (not even profit) from Internet Services isn’t even close to making it. These are Xiaomi’s numbers, straight from the horse’s mouth, so don’t look at me.
It’s clear that they are making way more than 5% on phones. That $400 Mi 8 isn’t even close to cost. They are making way more on each phone. Assuming that $585 Internet Services revenue is close to full profit, that’s still about $1.5 billion missing profit ($2.1B net profit – $585M) that should be coming from the smartphone and TV sales divisions. According to the math, their profit margins on their phones are closer to 40% ($6B total revenue from Phone and TV divided by $1.5B profit).
So that Mi 8 that retails for $400 probably cost around $240 to make, including all costs and overhead — unless they are being “creative” with their accounting.
If China plans on having a stronger military than the US, then why do they still spend less on their military then the US?
For the year 2022, the military budget for the US is over a trillion (10% of GDP)- 800 billion budget plus 200 billion for covert operations, 200 billion for Veteran care, 50 billion for the War in Ukraine, and 50 billion for NASA whereas China’s 250 billion(3.5% of GDP)- 230 billion, 5 billion for the space program, 15 billion for R &D for military hardware development. Why has China been able to catch up or sometimes even exceed the US in capability in the past 20 years despite the disadvantages in spending by 1:4?. Here are some of the reasons:
- Everything is expensive in the US in labor, environmental regulation and material and 4:1 spending advantages are quickly evaporated.
- America continuously engages in war around the world: The US spent 8 trillion dollars and 20+ years on the fruitless war in the mid-east by invading 3 countries with nothing to show but destabilize the whole region by creating thousands of dead and millions of refugees. As quickly as the withdrawal from Afghanistan, America now is engaging in another war in Ukraine and trying to goad China into another war over Taiwan. All these wars have been taking away the resources to upgrade its own military capability in competition against China.
- America lost its industrialization capability by outsourcing most manufacturing overseas in the meanwhile China has become the manufacturing center of the world. Lacking general manufacturing also contributes to the increasing cost of military hardware. Case in point: F35 at 2 Trillion and 20+ years in development, nuclear submarine at 10 billion and 9 years to make, and littoral frigate and battleships at 3 billion and 3 years to make.
- lack of engineering capability- China has been able to graduate 10 times more engineers than that the US during the past 2 decades. More engineers together with massive manufacturing capability propel China to move ahead in most weapon production with newer materials, equipment, and capability. Case in point- the ongoing Tiangong space station and more advanced Beidou GPS satellite system with 5g quantum communication for military usage.
- high cost of the military-industrial complex. For years, American democracy are tightly intertwined with the ruling elites supported by the military-industrial complex where most hucksters are ex-government officials is not only expensive and loaded with political corruption but also inefficient for weapon system development.
The last days of the G20
Germany‘s Moral Collapse Inside China: Scholz‘s 11-hours Visit to Beijing Spells Catastrophe
By Thorsten J. Pattberg for the Saker blog
This is probably the darkest piece I have written on the subject. I hope you didn’t miss Part I and Part II. Maybe get yourself a physical copy as well.
So Olaf Scholz, High Chancellor of deindustrializing porkhole Germany, finished his Beijing ground trip in under 11 hours and counseled Mr. Xi Jinping hard on “the rule of law,” “free markets,” and “the rights for minorities.”
This sort of opportunity occurs only every 10 years or so for Germany’s “China experts”—they are the evil ones; the nice ones are called China-hands—to be led to the global stage and say their thing about unfair Chinese globalism and how Europe should stick it to the Xi dictator.
You won’t find Yours-truly anywhere in the German media. Total blackout. Even though I am basically the Confucius of Hamm Bockum-Hövel, the valley of flying daggers.
And even though Mr. Xi personally has touched my bike.
Look at his picture below and see if you can find my ugly square “Nazi face.” And you know what I studied at that Chinese university with all those Chinese Communists? That‘s right: I majored in Russian major and minored in Pure Land Buddhism, eat that!
IMAGE 1 (Fudan University Department for Foreign Languages)
Anyway, I was saying that the lazy China experts fall over each other on German regime tv, regime press, and anti-Chinese social media, laureating aeriform German stuff like unfreedom, German democracy, and holocaust guilt. And what are they demonizing? Of course, they are demonizing China’s evil trinity of poverty alleviation, superior technologies, and unbelievable material wealth.
Mr. Scholz wanted to be the first Western leader to meet Mr. Xi in person. He is a busy man. Mr. Scholz, I mean, not Mr. Xi. Mr. Xi is always in Beijing, fixing his own country and guiding his people. That wanker Scholz, on the other hand, has been, let me see, so far been to…. HOLY MOTHER!…. 47 foreign capitals in 2022 alone! What an Emperor of Man! What a Ruler of the Universe! Stoltz‘s AWESOME!!!
Germany depends on China’s industries A LOT. China might be the only nation that unconditionally keeps up with the German poop and still deals with the neonazis after Berlin started WW III with Russia this summer.
If the Middle Kingdom was Middle Earth [an Anglo-Saxon fantasy world], then the Germans would be the Balin dwarves toiling under the mountains. It would be good for cave king Stoltz to discuss steel legions, rare earth mining, and bolt-throwers. But maybe the German mines ran dry and empty, so the Stoltz people crawled back to the surface with this new business plan of… morally harassing orcses, wizards, and little Chinese girls alike.
Germany is a beaten, crushed, debilitated US-occupied nation. It should not exist in this form. But the victorious Western allies did not release these poor wretched people. Instead, they decided to chain them to the BRD regime [Federal Republic of Deutschland] and tell lies about how great it is to change from a glorious 1000-year-old Reich into a homo anal-fixated Iew-worshiping seepage. Watch any US movie and the villains are probably Germans. Also, watch gay porn, German’s best.
STAGE 1: Nearing 100 Years Of Humiliation
This century of humiliation went smoothly for roughly 60 years, from 1949 until 2009, before the World Wide Web took off and became unstoppable. Suddenly, Germans could share experiences online, check the facts, and compare historic accounts. Their country, they found, is a US strap dildo. Their mountain,… the misty mountain of Saruman the Schmuel. People started to expose this false US love bombing. Now the BRD regime is in trouble under a mountain of lies and make-beliefs: Deutschland was never a free, sovereign land since 1949.
Much of the economic figures coming out of Germany are foreign-based, and thus false, fictitious, and fabricated. This is mostly the normal proceedings during any colonial occupation: The conquerors imposed American-style statistics on the German colony, so the German economy always shined like Joe‘s sperm on Fräulein Gerda‘s flabby gut.
Example. When the film industry in post-war Germany was boosted as the greatest and most lucrative market in the world after Japan, that in reality meant that German and Japanese film industries were deliberately collapsed. Iewish Hollywood and the Iewish financiers in London now ran all major theater chains in America‘s colonies. A total take-over and the destruction of local culture is then reported as an “economic miracle.”
The underlying practicability of Anglo-Zionist Imperialism is that of a bombing back better: What is the amputation of our enemies but the exaggerated display of Zangwill’s melting pot—the freak shows and the human zoo.
So every couple of years, America cut away another German key industry:
1948 Defense, Foreign Policy, Interior
1949 Weapons, Machinery, Heavy Industry Production
1949 Basic Law, German Guilt, Holocaust Brainwash, Heteronomy (Foreign Rule)
1951 Patents, Inventions, Properties, Art, Collections
[The US started looting German intellectual properties and cultural artifacts; e. g. US Disney appropriates German fairy tales, US Princeton et. al. appropriate German physics, Albert Einstein, etc.]1950s Heroes, Leaders, Stories, Histories, “De-Nazification”
1960s Radio, Public Broadcast, Film
[The consolation of pro-Iewish, pro-US propaganda tv and the lying press, e. g. ARD, ZDF, SPIEGEL, FAZ, ZEIT, Sueddeutsche. Result: zero free press.]1960s Food Supplies, Energy Productions, Charity [War Reparations disguised as “foreign aid.”]
1970s Banking, Finance, Transactions, Currency
1980s Public Health, Pharmacy, Sports, Leisure
[Americanization of Europe, e. g. basketball, rap music, Levis jeans, aping of all US youth trends.]1990s Newspapers, Universities, Schools, Education
[The dissolution of German Internate, Magister degrees, Guilds, and Fraternities; German as the language of science and history erased, American curriculum inserted.]2000s Slavery, Human Trafficking, Brain Drain, Miscegenation
[High-IQ Germans emigrated, low-IQ POCS [People of Color] imported. Massive IQ loss [-4 points, from 102 to 98] in 20 years. Massive degeneracy, migrant crime, mixing of new mongrel races.]2010s Transport, Communication, Computers, Space
[Germany missed the Electronic age, the Internet age, the Space age.]2020s Language, Religion, Science, History
[Compulsory American language, American symbols, American beliefs, and American history is now in the brains of Germans.]…you never heard about the tragic loss and decapitated German culture. Instead, you heard how German GDP grew like twice that of Britain or something, and how American the Germans had become, which could only be a good thing, right?
I just give you three facts that make your heart bleed.
Fact 1: The number of living German people since 1949 has actually fallen. There were 63 million ethnic German people in the German Reich before 1936. There should be 120 million Germans today, easily. 200 million, even. Today, under the American thumb, however, their number has been kept at 60 million. The other 24 million persons currently residing in Germany have a migrant background. Meanwhile, the earth’s population had quadrupled. Fazit: the US occupation has brought infertility and retardation to the Germans.
Fact 2: The Germans were tortured by Iews until their minds just popped. The Germans as a group are dead on the inside and never produced a single genius again. Just look it up. It is true. If a population is endlessly tortured, the will to live goes down and the geniuses disappear entirely.
Fact 3: Germany is not a great economy. If Germany really were the world’s 4th biggest economic power, how come in 2022 it doesn’t even have its own currency, its own army, its own global banks, its own global universities, a tech sector, a space station, many space stations? Scholz Germany is exactly as economically powerful as Uncle Joe says it is. Without American occupation, Germany is far less than Turkey, Vietnam, and Egypt, and perhaps only slightly more than Ukraine, without Ukraine‘s sovereignty that is.
IMAGE 2 (German Airplane Full of Reich Companies)
Let us demonstrate everything I just said by following Scholz and his airborne cavemen. Mr. Scholz was traveling to China with an entourage of Germany’s business CEOs (Chief Executive Officers) from Volkswagen (1937), Deutsche Bank (1870), Adidas (1949), Siemens (1847), BASF (1865), BMW (1916), Merck (17th century), and Bayer (1863). Please notice that all of them are basically pre-war German Reich family silver. Since 1949 and since the US occupation, NOTHING new emerged from Germany. I repeat this message because you finally have to hear it loud and clearly: Germany did NOT produce any 21st-century champions while under her 20th-century US occupation, and as a result, it lags behind 60 years in human progress and biological fitness.
So these pre-war Reich firms are all the substance that is left. The Americans could terminate those Nazi firms at any time by the way. Adidas, the gay soccer brand (just like the older brother, Puma) was permitted to rise in 1949 since it was founded in Bavaria, the US occupational zone. To this day, about 40,000 US G.I. Joes are stationed here. Bavaria is to America what Hong Kong was to Great Britain. So if you think that Adidas is just selling shoes in the world, you are a moron. And do the Germans see a single cent of the billions allegedly earned from… selling shoes… goes to benefit the German people? No, of course not. Billions of dollars go straight into the pockets of ”global shareholders.”
STAGE 2: The Collapse of Morality Inside China
German firms that do business with Americans, or with parties who do business with Americans, are subject to US law and regulations. On the other hand, no US firm is subject to German law and regulations. During the Cold War, Washington prohibited German companies from doing business with the enemies of the United States, which included China right up until 1978.
After the USA opened up China in 1978, Volkswagen came to China and bragged about it. It was the first German/European/Western company to do so! In reality, the West Germans did do shit to achieve that. It was the Americans who opened that door.
What Volkswagen did since then is easily explained. It sold outdated car models. The BRD regime had just introduced the catalytic converter for all petrol engines, starting in 1984. So all polluter models such as the Santana, Polo, and Passat were simply sold in Third World China. What you didn‘t know China had fewer regulations and lower emission standards?
As of all those Volkswagen “profits” made in China, none was flowing back into Germany. Its China operation, Shanghai Dazhong, is 100% Chinese, not German. Germany since the 70s and 80s stagnated. A German man in 1977 could become a police officer, marry a faithful housewife, build a house, raise his kids, and go on vacation twice a year. In 2022, all collapsed, two gay persons need to work three jobs to just rent a tiny compartment in Berlin Mitte, owned by US-Iewish BlackRock. The average German homo couple at most breeds one new Nazi for the world (if it’s a boy. There are no girl Nazis!).
Let’s continue with Deutsche Bank, the last and only “German bank” Germany can field internationally. Germany has no global banks. Even Deutsche Bank (DB) says this. She says “We have strong European roots.” She cannot say she has strong German roots because that would open a can of Iewish worms. DB’s real headquarters is in London. Berlin has no jurisdiction over DB, Washington has.
When Yours-truly saw DB agents taking up skyrise in Beijing‘s Chaoyang district where the ex-pats do their shady stuff, it was pretty much an invitation to take an eye on them. That started in 2008, and DB and the Germans had just dropped their initial plan to do wealth management and private banking. Beijing had warned that the private banking sector was off-limits. But of course, DB could hang around and do consulting stuff. So what the Germans did was commission this huge sky tower, hang around nude, and tickle their tiny gonads.
You see that a lot. Foreign conglomerates’ representation offices in Beijing that you have no idea what they are actually working on. Take Google China team in their high-rise rental tower in Haidian district. Wait, what, the media told you Google withdrew from China because of “human rights” issues? You, Sir, are a complete moron. The Americans were always here.
IMAGE 3 (Deutsche Bank Tower and Google Building in Beijing)
Since DB couldn’t do private banking, they bought Beijing and Shanghai art collections and starched them away on the 24th floor of their stain-glassed blue wizard Tower. And just two years later, China’s art scene had artificially increased by 800%. [Turns out, US Citibank and Google had done the same.]
Do the German people ever see a share of the wealth that German DB is creating in China? Nope, not a chance. On the contrary, Germany has no global financial centers. According to Statista, the global site for reliable governmental statistics, the leading financial centers in the world are New York, London, Hong Kong, Shanghai, Los Angeles, Singapore, San Francisco, Beijing, Tokyo, Shenzhen, Paris, Seoul, Chicago, Boston, and Washington. No Frankfurt or Berlin in sight.
If you believe the lies in the media that Germany was a rich country, you are a moron. The Germans don’t have German tellies or even German smartphones. They have no German computers. And do you know why the government airplane Scholz is flying in is a French Airbus? Because the war loser Germany is prohibited from building its own airplanes.
Next, take BASF or Merck. These are ancient German forge dynasties. How did they get into China? They paid for it! You have read that correctly. German companies such as BASF or Merck, or Siemens, Bayer, and Bosch, produce great hair dryers and microwave ovens, right? China could have allowed them to build factories here. But they had to pay China to even have her consider to consider it. And that isn’t all there was to it. The Germans were so unwanted, needy, and unlikable… that they had to hand over 51% of their companies to made-up Chinese “joint partners.”
Why this abysmal imbalance? Well, China exports 600 key resources Germany absolutely depends on, such as rare earths, chemicals, and pharmaceutics. But China does not depend on 1 single German resource, none. Sure it can buy electric drills and trains, but it can also buy similar ones from Japan, Canada, England or France. That is why China is Germany‘s biggest trading partner and essential for its survival, while Germany is to China more like a hobby shop.
Even more imbalanced are human resources. German intelligence falls flat on high Chinese standard, so China needs few German brains. But Germany needs hundreds of thousands of Chinese brains each year to keep Germany‘s R&D (Research and Development), patents, and publications up.
German legacy companies have to cannibalize AND have to pay huge bribes just to be able to get an audition in Beijing that could lead to being able to sell their hobby products in China someday. That is why prices in Europe for the same products are so high. The Reich firms need to cream off money from Germans and other subhuman European stock and give it to China so that the Chinese can later buy the same products for much less money. Needless to say, the Chinese can produce the same stuff themselves and own the Sino-German production plants. Again, those German legacy companies do not increase the welfare and living standards of the Germans, they decrease them.
STAGE 3: The Last Days Of Western Materialism
Knowing all this background information, we return to our 2022 Olaf Scholz and his money buddies, all packed in a French-made government plane, in total desperation.
Germany is bankrupt. The Internet has exposed this fake country beyond reparation. The BRD regime certainly is the butt joke of the world. Mr. Xi did not even give Mr. Scholz a press conference. This was delegated to China’s Minister in Chief, Li Keqiang.
You will not read this in the Western press, but China totally owned the narcissistic Stoltz charade. The great decouplers had traveled 20 hours over the North Pole to Beijing and were stopped right there on the airfield track by yellow medical people wearing hazmat plague suits. The Germans were told unambiguously that if one of them tested positive for coronavirus, nobody would pass immigration.
Also, on no occasion whatsoever did Chairman Xi shake hands with Stolzi, who, oblivious to all social cues, went on babbling about “human rights” again, and on how “human rights is NOT meddling in domestic affairs.” Why is this wanker not discussing our mission to Mars, time travel, and cashless currencies? China is the world leader in over 170 areas, Germany in none. China has a better political system. It is more peaceful, stable, and productive.
Unlike defeated Germany, China has principles. Peaceful coexistence, national sovereignty, harmonious society, and the Chinese Dream, to name a few. Germany has none. Scholz reproduces American slogans “freedom,” “rules-based international order,” “LGBTQ rights”. These are not German principles, but the marching order of the New York Iews and Washington Neocons. Nobody can or should take Mr. Scholz seriously, ever. Just look at this anthropological exhibit below of Mr. Scholz next to Chairman Xi. Thank God, Stoltz didn’t bring along his wife…
IMAGE 4 (Mr. SCHOLZ AND Mr. Xi)
America is very annoyed that these shitty German Reich firms are giving China plenty of work. The Empire wants the Germans to decouple, asap. That’s when our wicked German China experts came out from their corrupt German “China Studies” and spilled their praise for Human Rights Stoltz on US platforms Facebook and Linkedin.
Decoupling is not going to happen. However, never underestimate those stupid narcissists. Decoupling would be the last conclusive step toward the total dissolution of Germany, and the beginning of something new. See, Germany has lost all her abilities to build roads, airports, cities, communication, transportation, and really everything. Begging China to send some real talent or buy some German ports or build some superhuman computers won‘t help. Please have a look at this degeneracy below. This is the German Green Party leader, the other is the winner of the European Song Contest, and the last is the winner of the German Book Price.
IMAGE 5 (Degeneracy German Art and Culture)
German leaders keep saying Germany has a Nazi problem, so let us believe them and say, China wants to keep political relations with Mr. Scholz and his Nazi collaborators to the bare minimum:
“No nuclear bombs over Ukraine!” the diverse couple jointly announce to the Iewish global media. As if that German midget could reach the door frame. There are fewer Germans in the world than Chinese in Henan. Could Mr. Scholz not perhaps discuss… I don’t know… a new thorium-reactor or G5 tower forests or some hovering seaports? No, he couldn’t. Because Germany cannot build none of them. It is over.
Which brings us to the great transformation of Germany and her new business model. I hope I have sufficiently demonstrated that the pre-war German Reich firms are all that Germany has left to her former glory, that those blood-and-soil firms have no homeland left to root for, and that they are spiritually disabled and historically castrated, and cannot do anything innocently for humanity and our shared future. They are tainted. Contagious.
Let me explain the likely political fallout over Mr. Scholz’s quick 11 hours blitzsummit that was completely unnecessary and pointless:
The German economic leaders are deeply offended to be called German, they hate their Germany association, they would rather be European (EU), American, or Chinese, they hate the BRD US regime, and they hate Scholz and this China charade. They really want to liquefy their pre-war Reich firm assets, to decouple from working, from manufacturing, from laboring for meager profits… and–just like the true Masters of this planet—to earn far greater amounts of fictitious money from aeriform properties. In other words, they want to rise in the Human Hierarchy.
Stoltz and his CEOs of Deindustrialisation AG want to disconnect Germany away from a physical, three-dimensional forge world of US-client factories producing for the Empire on cheap Asian labor.
They then want to re-connect Germany towards a new administrative global power grid under the Empire of Sanctions [and Lies] to extrapolate profits from all aeriform properties that belong to the Fifth Dimension (Difference): distance, privileges, hierarchies, regulations, tariffs, history, ideology, thoughts, ideas, and mind control.
STAGE 4: The Coming Of The Emperor Of Man
The Germans did not invent the core techniques to world domination [and neither did the Chinese]. They couldn‘t. However, they still can copy other progressive groups. The British East India Company ran much of Asia not by owning labor and production, but by administering all governments, trade organizations, and international standards. The American White House runs the entire Western hemisphere not by owning labor and production, but by administrating all information, governments, and decision centers.
The new Germans dream of becoming sideways Iews, ruling by first-men-in-the city decree, by manipulations, lies, fakeries, torture, exploitation, and learned psychopathy. Under this plan, the German ruling class and their CEOs could join the Anglo-Zionist administrator class of the world and become controllers of everything from people, materials, plants, animals, behavior, standards, and information. The job of the West will be collecting rent and fees from anyone daring to do anything on this planet.
And who is going to do the work for us in the future? It is going to be the poorest Europeans, the Africans, and, naturally, the hard-working Asians.
It is NOT another industrial revolution that is coming in Europe, but an administrative revolution. There is not enough money to be made in exploiting physical labor anyway. Karl Marx, Capitalism, free markets… were all lies. Materialism, that is the exploitation of the physical world, was a useful but primitive strategy. The core idea that “humans must work for a living” was a convenient con job to flock together the human races and enslave them. No leader has ever worked for a living.
When Yours-truly was a Peking University official, I got 347 invitations for banquets, think tanks, meetings–in a day. On average, 128 Western professors or companies emailed me, in a day, all begging me to work for us for free or pay for licensing or work. My director, the true leader, had 26,450 potential sources of income, at which stage money and material become meaningless. 2,000,000 China experts would give their limps to work for him. He gets 200 media requests on a good Saturday. Tens of thousands continue to work for him for free.
Global organizations and governments live off others, they earn while sleeping, they inherit, they print their own wealth, and they collect taxes and rents. They have created several parallel worlds for the gods so far: debt, digital, crypt, word, and meta. Labor… is for apemen. CEOs are god-like too. They take all the credit for millions of ghosts. But that was all yesterday’s injustices. Tomorrow’s injustices will break the back of everything we thought humanly possible. There is infinitely more wealth to be made in exploiting purely psychological relationships and the realms once neglected as fiction or non-reality.
IMAGE 6 (Tribute to the Emperor of Humanity)
That is the true explanation of why Olaf Scholz talks about “How human rights is NOT meddling into China‘s affairs,” and not about how to create fifty-eight new food formulas to feed the world’s hungry. The Germans want the hungry and the miserable. They couldn’t take over or control a China that was strong and resistant. But what is worth a thousand times more than creating fifty-eight new food formulas to feed the world’s hungry? You won’t believe this but it is the truth. Sit back. Read:
It is this photo shoot of Mr. Scholz with Chairman Xi. This photo shoot was the sole reason what this entire 11-hour drama trip was all about. This has more substance than fifty-eight new food formulas to feed five worlds! This probes the power of the Fifth dimension! They are testing it. They came to China (packed 40 hours flying back and forth, 11 hours stay) in a planesload worth 60 billion euros of CEOs doing NOTHING. They tested if it was true. These people are nothing, are worth nothing. They tested if they did NOTHING, they would grow in value. And they did, about 2 billion euros. I know it was a test operation, because I was on the 2012 Beijing test team that designed the first portals for Peking and Harvard. I hope you’ll be able to see more of it soon. You‘ll first notice our leaders‘ strange behaviors everywhere.
The physical space in Asia, China, does not register anymore with the German elites and their US masters who, in their minds, own the sensual brick-and-rock world already. They want to be seen as gods next. And gods are aeriform. Gods decide, Gods are worshiped.
We want. China must. This is not going to be about who produces the Siemens washing machines or Porsche cars. It is about who runs humanity in the 21st Century. So the Asians can produce all that, who cares. Cotton pickers and Giza pygmies. As if they’ll ever get credits for Holy Europe and the Land of Milk and Honey: The Human Hierarchy has been completed. Mr. Scholz visited his 48th foreign capital this year!
The Fifth Dimension is now being furnished. The aerifom age has begun. The Emperor of Man has not shown yet, but he will own everything his mind touches. He and his clients will administer everything and will never have to work or act in any way. The Empire of Man will expand not from productivity. It will expand through words.
Stolz is back in Berlin. His defeat for Germany he celebrates as a personal victory. Such is the dimension of unreality. “The coming Emperor of Man must be a Iew,” he chins. “This much is prophecy.”
“But all bets are off HE’S GOT TO BE A EUROPEAN…”
向人类皇帝致敬!
万能统治者万岁!
Hommage an den Imperator der Menschheit!
Es lebe der allmächtige Herrscher!
Tribute to the Emperor of Humanity!
Long live the Almighty Ruler!

Easy Pizza Pasta Casserole
“This is a kid pleaser-very cheesy and topped with pepperoni. It makes 2 large (9×13) casseroles or 4 small ones; I often divide it in fourths and freeze 3. This originally came from TOH’s Quick Cooking.”
Ingredients
- 2 lbs ground beef or 2 lbs ground venison
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 teaspoon italian seasoning
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 (26 ounce) jars spaghetti sauce
- 16 ounces rotini pasta, cooked and drained
- 5 cups shredded mozzarella cheese (20 oz)
- 8 ounces sliced pepperoni
Directions
- Brown ground beef, onion, garlic and seasoning in oil.
- Drain.
- While beef is browning, cook pasta according to the packaging
- Stir in pasta, spaghetti sauce and 3 cups cheese.
- Place mixture in 2 greased 9x13x2 inch baking pans or 4 square pans.
- Sprinkle with remaining mozzarella.
- Top with pepperoni.
- Cover and freeze up to 3 months.
- To cook now: Bake uncovered at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes, until heated through.
- To bake frozen casserole: Thaw in refrigerator overnight and bake at 350 for 35-40 minutes, till hot.
Yummy waaaay better than hamburger helper but just as easy. Our 2 year old loved it, too, and he is going though a picky phase. It was nice that it made 2 pans - we had one for supper and I'm bringing one to a church potluck tomorrow. I went basically with the recipe (but I added a bit more pizza seasoning and 2 more garlic cloves) because I wanted to keep it basic for the potluck, but I look forward to trying it again for home. I'll triple the pizza seasoning, put in 5 or 6 cloves of garlic, add some spinach, and use sausage instead of hamburger (or half and half)...maybe some mushrooms and black olives. Just like pizza, there are endless options. Thank you for the recipe! I need some simple standards (my husband is the main cook around here). This was a huge hit with the family. I had to half the recipe and it still made more than enough for 3 hungry eaters. I added some mild italian sausage, green peppers and onions as additional toppings just like a pizza. I added some leftover pizza sauce to the sauce and my top cheese was provolone which melted wonderfully. We all agreed it was the toppings that made the dish taste like a pizza. Make sure to cook the pasta al dente. Will make this again soon and it will be my next carry in dish at work. This is an extremely easy dish to make. The pepperoni on top was crispy and delicious. My only issue with this dish, and it's a slight one at that, is that the pasta underneath could use a little more pizazz for my taste. Maybe quartering up the pepperoni slices and throwing them into the pasta mixture maybe? Something that would give it a zing! There was plenty left over and my husband was able to have left overs for both a lunch a work and a snack at home over the next two days. This was a big hit here and I love that there is another casserole waiting in the freezer. I used 1 lb ground beef, 1 lb Italian pork sausage, reduced the pepperoni to 7 oz (two of which I diced and mixed into the casserole), added about 5 oz sliced baby bella mushrooms which were sauteed with the onion, and reduced the mozzarella to 4 cups - spreading two cups on top of each casserole and not mixing any in.
An excellent read on Germanys real history. Thank you.
