IME Corridor - Hollow concept and frivolousless economic assumptions

 The big hypes about this supposedly great Biden Modi infrastructure plan to counter the BRI have faded the moment the G20 Meeting ended. It was all noise and meaningless chest thumping and all for nothing. When a plan is build with no tangible objectives and clear economic benefits but just to counter another widely received and carefully conceived plan, who is going to buy it?

The plan has totally no benefit to the Americans, and to the Americans it is just like a fiction movie in Hollywood, good to have, good to see, good for propaganda and entertainment but no practical or substantive benefits, at best some political influence and publicity. In the case of BRI, there is a lot of trades going on between China and Europe and the countries in between that made economic sense to all the participants. What would India be selling to Europe and vice versa? As for Saudi Arabia, it would just be a transit role, allowing a railroad through the Arabian desert. The economic purpose to Saudi Arabia is minimum as all its trades could still be served by the existing trade routes with no significant advantages from the IME Corridor.

Given these considerations, the big question is the cost. Who is going to pay for it for minimal or virtual gains? The Americans have no direct benefits and are unlikely to pay anything unless it is treating the IMEC as an extention of war against Russia and China, like Ukraine. Then pouring in their toilet paper money into this project would make the some sense against using their fiat money to help Maui.

The bulk of the money spent would be on the railroad through the Arabian desert. Would the Saudis be willing to pay for it when their only benefit is to collect toll? Or would the Europeans and Indians be willing to pay for a railway track and train system in Saudi Arabia? The cost benefit equation does not make sense to any party in this IMEC, especially nothing much to be gained for the Saudis. The Saudis would not mind if the Americans, Europeans or the Indians food the bill and they offer the desert land to the project. 

This frivolous plan is looking more frivolous as day goes by. No one would want to food the bill to build a railroad and train system across the Arabian desert for the Saudis. And the Saudis would not find it economical to build it and pay for it if no one else is willing to be the main paymaster.

There will be more meetings and more meetings on this project for the next few years before it dies a natural death. By the way, who is capable to build this railroad across the Arabian desert? Would they be asking China to build it? Would China want to build it when no one can build it?

Corrupt organisations beholden to the Americans must be disbanded

 Those sitting at the top of the world bodies are obviously nothing more than corrupted beings, so much so that non of those world bodies are credible, moral or worthy of existence.

When BRICS increases its quorum of members over the years, it is time to form new world bodies to undertake the functions of those present beholden world bodies. It is not impossible. Just look at the countries taking part in the BRI and those countries eyeing for membership of BRICS, but denied because of some selfish idiot.

Just as countries can put their hearts and minds into de-dollarisation and migrating their trade settlement in currencies other than the US$ in their bilateral trade and prepare to adopt a new settlement system, it is just a question of time that the world can get together too to get rid of the White clique's control of those beholden world bodies that does more harm than good.

The most sinister of all is that bodies like the ICC thinks it is doing the morally right thing to issue a warrant of arrest against Putin, while closing their eyes, plugging their ears and stuffing their mouths with shit, not looking at what happened in Iraq, not even daring to raise a fart to talk about the roles of George W. Bush, Tony Blair, Donald Rumsfeld and the already dead Dick Cheney and Collin Powell.

And fabricating evidence to start the Iraq war killing millions makes them war criminals millions of times over. But not one of them, in the warp minds of the ICC, deserves to be issued an arrest warrant. That is how ridiculous world bodies have become.

If de-dollarisation is important, so does changing the system of running world bodies, necessitating the formation of new ones that are truly independent and beholden to no one, and certainly not existing to serve the interest of just one country.

White men's greed for power and hegemony is the root cause of the world's troubles and wars.

    The white people especially the Anglo-Saxons toxic greed for power, insatiable greed to grab other countries'  territories and resources  and insidious savage ambition for  world hegemony is the root cause of this world's endless troubles and wars. Further their false assumption that they are a superior race and  are the chosen people of God and that their civilization outshines all other civilizations reinforce their fake ego of primacy above all others. 

For the last 500 years white men have brought bloody curse to all non-white countries in Africa, Asia, North and South America, Australia and New Zealand. Wherever they went they brought deaths and destructions, pains and suffering and genocide. They have never shown any remorse for their wanton acts of brutal cruelty and atrocities to people of victimized countries because they claimed they were supported by their 'Doctrine of Christian Discovery' in which their Lord Jesus empowered them to go abroad to seize lands and resources from non-Christians and to kill natives who refused to be converted to Christianity. This 'Doctrine of Christian Discovery' was later reinforced by other more evil doctrines like the 'Doctrine of Manifest Destiny of America' , the Darwin Doctrine of survival of the Fittest' , the Doctrine of Permanent and Perennial Warfare' and the  'Paul Wolfowitz Doctrine of  American Exceptionalism.' 

Armed with these toxic doctrines the white men cabal headed by the Anglo-Saxon United States intend to hold the world in servitude and bondage under Anglo-Saxon American dominance and permanent. hegemony. For as long as these evil doctrines are in place there will never have peace and harmony in this world. No selfrespecting countries and civilizations will ever allow the savage Anglo-Saxon Americans to hold the world in subjugation, servitude and hegemony.

Never trust the Anglo-Saxon Americans and their lackeys in Europe. They will always use peace talks as a stratagem to lull you into confidence while using the interim time as an advantage to plan steps ahead  to destroy you. There are endless examples in history where white men use this ruse to disadvantage the opponents and get them destroyed. That's the reason native Americans keep on reminding the world that 'White men speak with fork tongues and can never be trusted.'

Some latest examples are the end of 'Cold War'  in 1989 where NATO led by US promised Russia that NATO would not extend to Eastern Europe by even a centimeter. But it did and extended NATO's membership to all East European countries which formerly formed parts of Soviet Russia. And in  disregarding Russia's constant warnings not to extend NATO membership to Ukraine and in using the Treaty of Minsk  interim period to arm Ukraine for its secret agenda to attack Russia it triggered the Ukraine War.

Under a treaty signed in Beijing in 1972 the US under President Nixon recognized the 'Peoples Republic of China' as the sole government of China which includes Taiwan  and the treaty was reinforced and strengthened in the three communiques signed by President Jimmy Carter in 1980s. However, subsequent US presidents reneged on the Beijing treaty and carried out pervasive actions which undermined the treaty and cause serious problems in cross strait relations when separatists and secessionists in the Taiwan DPP party with  American support openly called for seceding from mainland China.  The subversive actions of America clearly shows that the US is playing with fire and that it intends to start a war in the Taiwan Strait as China's Ukraine war. 

People do not understand the diabolical agenda of the United States in starting the Ukraine War and the coming Taiwan Straits war. It has to do with the declining status of the West in general and the United States in particular. The United States is a very chaotic state in a tremendous upheaval with no stoppage or possible remedy in sight. The horrible debacles in US are self-inflicted. It is due to the practise of Darwin's extreme one sided capitalism where the nation's wealth is not distributed equitably among the broadbased citizens but where the one to ten percent elites own over 95 percent of the country's wealth and riches and where the rest of the 90 percent population own less than 5 percent and wallow in extreme poverty and sufferance. Wherefore we now see tens of millions of impoverished American citizens who are homeless and and forced to live in horrible squalour of decrepit tents made of cupboards and plastic sheets along major roadsides, in the frontage of shops and shopping malls where they scavenge for food and do their daily routine of urinating and discharging of their faeces. The scenes are really pathetic. How come these types of inhuman scenarios are occurring as per normal in the US which is being touted as the richest country in the world. It has to do with an incompetent irresponsible US type of government which does not take care of its citizens. It has to do with the horrible poor governance of the US government which constantly shouts to high heavens to other countries about human rights and democracy but completely ignores the welfare of its people which indeed is the greatest perversion of human rights and democracy. This pathetic situation is greatly enhanced by US doctrine and policy of creating endless perennial and permanent wars to maintain US supremacy and sustaining US Pentagon Military Industrial Complex so as to keep US economy afloat causing trillions of dollars diverted from civilians welfare to the lawless military. The diversion of funds to the Pentagon has due to corruption enable most American politicians from the president downward to senators, congressmen and House of representatives as well as senior and top military officers like generals, admirals and airforce commanders to grow extremely rich to become millionaires or billionaires. In fact many top generals and admirals on retirement went on to become directors and CEOs of military industrial companies like Boeing, Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, Northrob Grumman, General Dynamics, General Electric and Halliburton just to quote a few more prominent ones. In addition to the problem of millions of poor with homelessness the US is awashed with extreme inter racial strives mainly cause by white supremacists daily killing of other American racial groups like native Americans, African Americans, Mexican Americans and other diverse racial groups from Asia. In these racial issues the white supremacist police and the military do not offer any help for they would not take any action against racial riots whereby the provocateurs and culprits are insane white men going wild on a spree of killing of non-white Americans. In some cases the white police may perfunctorily arrest some white killers and murderers but the white judges in the courts will just release them after a lapse of a few days or a few hours. With such social injustice how can the non-white world believe in the West version of human rights and democracy and in their savage propaganda to demonize China,, Russia, Iran, Cuba, Venezuela, Bolivia, and North Korea. Non-white countries must be so blind and naive to believe in US toxic propaganda and expose themselve to danger in welcoming US and Western hubris propaganda that China, Russia, Iran and North Korea are aggressive and expansionists and therefore they must ally themselves with America and the West to confront Russia and China. 

The truth and the fact is China has never invaded or conquered any other country in its 5,000 years of history. On the contrary China was invaded by a cohort of Western countries , US and Japan in the last over 100 years and when her lands and territories were torn apart like cutting the watermelon to become parts of Western and Japanese colonies. 

How can the US politicians think of ruling the world when they don't even have basic care provisions for its citizens. So do not trust in US politicians propaganda about human rights and democracy. They will export their miseries to the world if allowed to do so.

Why did NATO led by US engineered the Ukraine War. Even before the end of the Second World in 1945, the US had laid broad plans to bring the whole world under its singular hegemony. But it had to contend with Soviet Russia which was a stumbling block to its ambition. With the fall of Soviet Russia in 1989 America proclaimed to the world the end of history, meaning the road ahead for America's unitary rule and world hegemony is at last at hand. But it was not to be when Putin assumed power in Moscow and China rises with god speed as an economic, technological and military power in which US has to contend with.

America is dead against Russia and China for being stumbling blocks to US ambition for world hegemony in establishing a world unitary government under US control and domination. America's rogue politicians at first decided to take down both Russia and China at the same timme. However, Russsia and China realise they are facing a common danger from the United States and so they unite to put up a common front against US and its allies . The United States finally decided to take down Russia first with the ultimate target China after destroying Russia.  

The United States calculates that Russia has a very weak economy and so it engineered the Ukraine war thinking it would quickly weaken Russia and bring it down to its knees. America thinks that after it has gain control of the rich Russian hinterland it will make good use of its resources to attack and conquer China. America has already made plans to start a war across the Taiwan Strait. The United States is so intoxicated with wild ambition to control the whole world that it throws caution to the winds ignoring the danger that it is confronting two highly and well armed nuclear superpowers.

 America is desperate in wanting to start a war with Russia and China due to several reasons.  It has an astronomical national debt of over 35 trillion dollars and other  commercial debt of  hundreds of trillions of dollars. US is unable to service these debts it owes to foreign countries especially to China, Japan, South Korea and Singapore. So it  is using wars to divert its citizens attention from the national debt. Also in creating wars US hope to abscond with the trilllions of dollars in debt and would not have to pay somehow. Also it hopes wars will keep the Pentagon Military Industrial Complex industries churning and will jump start the whole of US economy which has been in the doldrums for a long time.

After decoupling and derisking from China, where are they going to sell?

 Companies of the USA and its allies can move out of their main market in China, but the market will not collapse, and who can they sell to in the end, conducting their businesses outside of the main market. This is like a fishmonger moving his stall out of a fish market to set up shop far away from the fish market, and hoping that customers will continue to patronise it. No such thing. Customers will still patronise the main fishmarket, where variety and choice is all theirs to choose.

Chinese companies are having a busy time filling the void left by those USA and Western companies moving out of China. Even in Russia, Chinese carmakers are now making headway by taking over the void left by Western car companies. And will those companies that left China or Russia be able to return later to retake their share of the market? Even if they do, the market is already engulfed by Chinese or other friendly foreign companies. This is the same scenario in any open market competition, where if you move out, you cannot regain the edge again, once customers found a better choice.

But as de-coupling or de-listing are so grand an idea that the USA and EU are so deeply embroiled with, let it be. Who gets punished is still left to be seen. Chinese domestic companies never had so much impetus to expand or rise from the ground. This is their opportunity to make hay while the sun shines. Even just producing for the 1.4 billion population is good enough. I used to say that a shoe factory in China producing shoes for the domestic market is enough to survive already, selling a pair to each family in a normal family of three.

Even as I am saying this, Apple is facing serious problems in France and Canada, among other countries over the older iphone 12 model that was reported to emit unacceptable electromagnetic waves aka radiation levels. Released in October 2020, what consequence will result after three years of use is only talked about today. Think about it!

Meanwhile in China, the ban on iphones in Government circles and expanding to employees of Government linked entities, of which there are more than 150,000, employing tens of millions, the damage to iphone sales in China is going to be instrumental. Added to that, Huawei's Mate 60 is reported to be selling like hot cakes, with Huawei said to be unable to cope with demand over the short term.

China, even well before the IMF recent advice, had already been promoting domestic consumption, knowing that moving forward, more sanctions and heavy handed actions are on the line to hype up the demonisation of Chinese companies, operating and competing too well, with Western competitors.

The investigation of subsidies being raised against Chinese EVs is one good example, to put down the Chinese competition, knowing Chinese EVs are competing too well against USA and European car makers. These non Chinese carmakers are doing catch up in EV sales, having taken their eyes off while concentrating on internal combustion engine vehicles, with Japan hedging its bet on hydrogen fuel cell vehicles that is obviously not taking off. China has already been phasing out ICEV, which will add another nail in the coffin of USA, Japanese, South Korean and European carmakers.

Suffice to ask, what about the USA's US$52 billion subsidies thrown at the Chips Alliance congregating in Arizona? Isn't that also a subsidy and needs to be investigated as well? Even the EU is against that move, knowing it is nothing more than unfair trade practices to subsidise USA chip manufacturers to provide an unfair advantage when competing overseas. But the USA clearly plugged their ears, refusing to acknowledge what the EU is complaining against.

Going forward, not only is the USA surrendering areas of influence and markets in China, but is moving into an era of competing with China in markets outside of China itself. Can they compete in markets in Africa, Latin America, Central Asia or even ASEAN that still sees China as their main market for trade.

Covid 19 - WHO skunk still acting for the Americans to implicate China

The chief of the World Health Organization (WHO) urged Beijing to offer more information on the origins of COVID-19 and is ready to send a second team to probe the matter, the Financial Times reported on Sunday (Sep 17).

"We're pressing China to give full access, and we are asking countries to raise it during their bilateral meetings - to urge Beijing to cooperate," WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus told the newspaper.  CNA

The call to investigate China as the origin of Covid 19 is a lame ploy by the Americans to imply that China was the origin of the virus and at the same time deflect all attention on the Americans as the real origin of this virus. The Americans have been using this tactic in all areas, plainly accusing another party of a crime and using all American controlled organisations and western media to echo the accusations. And in practically every single charge, the Americans were the one that did it but pointing the fingers at others. Genocide, discrimination against the minorities, violation of human rights, war crimes, acts of aggression, terrorist activities etc etc, were all committed by the Americans over the centuries and everyday today all over the world.

The evidence as to the origin of the Covid 19 virus are out there, all pointing to the Americans as the culprit. But since day one, WHO has not attempted to investigate the USA as the origin, conveniently turning a blind eye, pretending that the Americans are innocent when they are guilty in the eyes of the whole world. China should slap this skunk real hard to wake him up and stop his nonsensical behaviour unbecoming of the top dog in WHO. He not only discredit himself but the whole organisation and everyone in WHO.

WHO and the skunks in the organisation should stop behaving like idiotic political animals taking orders and instructions from the Americans and doing the bidding of the Americans to turn black into white and white into black. Have some decency and guts and go and investing the USA as the origin of the virus. Failing to do so only show how silly and useless the WHO has become, a lame organisation like many American controlled organisations, perpetuating injustice around the world. It is a shame for a supposedly international organisation to behave so deceitfully and unable to do what it is tasked to do. It has no right to exist with such glaring failure to act on behalf of the people of the world and to not investigate the real criminals in this pandemic.

How long would the USA be led by insane savages?

 The irony is the USA and the West are lead by mad savages and we can never discount the war happening. After all, the mad savages are not the one's doing the fighting or dying. And the fact is the more anti-China the leaders are, the more they can win the votes. So, in the run up to 2024, even war is not a distant possibility to gain the upper hand domestically. That is how successful the brainwashing has done to USA voters, who are now incapable of thinking rationally.

Two constants are always at play in USA domestic politics. It is either Russiagate or Chinagate that will most invariably sway the votes. For the Democrats, Russiagate is the favourite cuisine. For the Republicans, Chinagate is the preferred delicacy. Russia and China are the perennial punching bags. Indiagate's turn will come.

Russiagate has already been debunked - lock stock and barrel, but the Democrats are reviving it. You see, there is nothing else to provide a war cry as detrimental as Russiagate or Chinagate. Internally, nothing is worthwhile being used to rally for votes. The homelessness, the drug problems, the debt crisis, the political polarisation, the Ukraine war siphoning off taxpayer's hard earned money, the fiasco in Maui are all going to haunt them if talked about. So, the less they are talked about, the better. Avoiding those issues are preferable.

And with Trump's non participation already a foregone conclusion and more credible younger leaders being decimated, and prevented from providing a credible choice, and are being destroyed from springing even a bud, who else is rising or can be allowed to rise? Even the incapacitation of Joe Biden changes nothing, with Hyena Harris ready to step up. That sends a shudder for me.

Americans are plotting and inciting war in SE Asia to destabilise and control Asean

 Where and when it involves wars beyond the borders of China, the West can assume that China will not get involved. Thus in the wars in Iraq, Afghanistan and Syria among others, China kept its distance, as its National Security is not threatened.

However, the Korean War was an existential threat to Northern China, as the fall of North Korea will give the USA and its allies the ability to place nuclear weapons in North Korea to threaten China. That is why China had to intervene in the Korean War, which made a difference to deny the effort of the USA and South Koreans, a conflict that has not been resolved since.

Similarly, the Vietnam War was important to China, as the fall of North Vietnam also gives the USA the ability to place its military closer to China near the wide enough border, a threat that the Chinese would not allow. All that talk about a domino effect was just a cover to support the USA agenda, which was to encircle China. Towards the later stages of the war, unclassified documents revealed that the USA was on the verge of using nuclear weapons, after desperately facing protest at home and being unable to forge any headway, but refrained from doing so for fear of retaliation by China and Russia, both of whom were by then nuclear powers themselves.

We can now now start to understand why Myanmar is so geopolitically important for the USA to have a hold, as the border of Myanmar with China is so wide, the ability of using Myanmar to threaten China is so titillating for the USA. Thankfully, that regime change under Aung San Suu Kyi was not successful, and the Military in Myanmar is still on good relations with China. Any major war breaking out in Myanmar against outside forces is bound to involve China, as in Korea and Vietnam. But the USA will continue to stir up shit, using ASEAN internally to demonise Myanmar, sticking its dirty hands deviously into the affair.

Those eyeing of countries with wide borders with China were and are the same scenario now being played out in Ukraine. Russia is never going to allow Nato to expand its grip on Ukraine, following which by extension, the USA by estention, will be given a foothold in Ukraine, next door to Russia that Russia knows will inevitably be used by the USA to place nuclear weapons to threaten Moscow.

Russia flexing muscles in the East

 Russia military drills in the Chukchi and Bering Sea next to Alaska, involving nuclear powered submarines and firing cruise missiles, raising alarm bells in the West. Russia is showing the West, besides being engaged in Europe, it is still a force to be reckoned with in the Eastern region.

What is the significance of that? It is to show the USA and the Japanese that they are not the only capable alliance that can swagger around Taiwan with their parade of warships, the Russians can do it as well, insinuating how close the Russians can get to threaten them. After the summit between Xi and Putin in October, Russia together with China and North Korea may yet conduct their own military and naval drills near to USA and Japan.

Ironically, Russia no longer needs to resort to placing nuclear missiles in Cuba, as those nuclear submarines are enough to send a message to the USA. With their longer range and hypersonic, those missiles are going to be more threatening than those in the sixties that were stationed in Cuba. They now do not have to involve Cuba or Venezuela to strike at the USA when the need arises.

Russia is still no less capable than the USA in terms of missiles and nuclear firepower. China provides a good backup with its naval power, while North Korea provides the unknown factor that will keep the Japanese and South Koreans in their place should they try to get involve.

US surrendering areas of influence and markets to China

 The rapid decline of the evil American Empire was caused primarily by self inflicted wounds due to aggressive gangsterism. In the hands of a bunch of clowns in Washington behaving like gangsters and terrorists, using might and fright to rule the world, and thinking that the victims would have no one to turn to, no where else to go to, they became very ruthless, aggressive and reckless. The weaponising of the dollar and weaponising of trade and international relations etc etc were all the dumb gangsters and terrorists could think of to rule the world like an evil Empire. They took out their fly swatters and hit at anyone for the slightest disobedience or disagreement.

The Americans did that in the past using very harsh sanctions against countries to impoverish their people by cutting them off from the international trading system. No country was allowed to trade with them or risked being sanctioned and isolated as well. And the victim countries really did not have anywhere to go to or anyone to turn to. For nearly a hundred years, the economies of Cuba and North Korea, Myanmar and a few others were under lockdowns and their people suffered immensely. 

Then came Ukraine and Russia was brutally sanctioned and locked down with the same objectives, to cripple the Russian economy and impoverish the Russian people. This has turned out to be a bridge too far. Russia fought back. And many countries closed ranks with Russia, including the American blue eyed boy India. This is a new century and another world is quietly evolving and extending its reach to countries around the world. China is there to fill in the void left by the marauding American businesses. China became the biggest winner, gaining market share for practically every product, consumer items, etc etc that the Russians needs, including the automobile industry, mobile phones, 5G communication systems....

For every country that the American sanctioned and isolated, it becomes a new market to be monopolised by China, excluding all the European businesses and businesses of American crony states. Many Latin American, African and Middle Eastern countries are now primarily markets for Chinese goods and services. The more countries the American sanctioned or made enemies of, the more markets China gained to the exclusion of not only American products, but also products of European and American crony states.

In a way, the Americans are slicing up pieces of the world markets and offering them to China without China having to work for it. The evil American Empire's zero sum game is working perfectly. Every market sanctioned by the Americans is a market gained by China. And there is nothing the Americans could do about it. They could try to threaten or coerce China from trading with the victim countries but to no avail. China is big and strong enough to hold its ground.

The Americans used to con the world about the friends it had in the world and that China had none. But the few so called friends of the evil American Empire were 'friends' under coercion, not real friends. At the rate the Americans are cutting away its economic pie and areas of influence, by the time the gangsters and terrorists realised their stupidity and hooliganism, and the dire consequences, it would be too late. The markets that were lost would not be easily returned to the American area of influence. China is offering a better alternative in everything, cheaper and better goods and services, better interstate relations, no threats, coercion or forcing anyone to take sides.

Over time, the countries that are dealing and trading with China would get to know the real China, not the China painted by the slimy American propaganda and hate media. They would come to know that China is a better and more reliable trading partner and friend, treating every country big and small with mutual respect and dignity. No interference in their internal affairs, no forcing them to adopt the fake and dysfunctional American democracy system. The American lies would disappear in the air. 

The little pieces left behind by the evil American Empire would be those that are being coerced by the Americans and unable to break free from the American grips, kept under chain in an American controlled order in the interest of the American Empire. How many countries would still be left within this vicious circle of American semi colonies existing just to serve the American Empire?

The Foxconn, Qualcomm, Intel, the European automobiles, etc etc, can all relocate out of China to India or perhaps Vietnam to manufacture their products. But who are they going to sell to? The Chinese market would be out of bound to them, and so would be the markets that have been sanctioned by the Americans. The fake free world of the evil American Empire would shrink to a small number of states trading among themselves, dictated by the Americans on who they can trade with and who they cannot trade with, what they can trade and what they cannot trade. The rest of world under a new world order would be trading happily among themselves under a new system modelled by BRICS+ countries.

China should thank the dumb gangsters and terrorists in Washington for carving away markets for the exclusive privilege of China, with the Americans voluntarily surrendering their rights and place in these markets. The rest of the world would benefit from China's industry and innovation, working with 5/6G communication systems, AIs, EVs, high speed trains, new infrastructure, free trade, freedom in choice of political system without external interference or coercion, and trading in their own currencies without having to use the dollar or be controlled and oppressed by the evil American Empire.There would be no fears of sanctions and threats of regime change. There will be peace, real freedom, freedom from the gangsters, terrorists and savages that only know one thing, unending wars and American hegemony.

More money for Zelensky, no money for Maui

 Zelenskyy is on his second wartime begging trip to Washington, perhaps with a better show in Congress, and more money will flow to Ukraine, with kickbacks to those Congressmen who voted to support his call. With more money for Ukraine, which is why Zelenskyy is there for, wonder what those fire victims in Maui will feel. Congressmen will care less for Maui victims, because after all, what is in it for their pockets.

While the rest of the world have been saying that Ukraine is the most corrupt country in Europe, the USA congressmen are not listening to all of this, as it is a win win situation for them to keep pushing taxpayer's money to Zelenskyy. FTX was the conduit for such ripping off before its fall from grace.

The most stupifying thing that just happened is Zelenskyy sacking six Defence Ministers for corruption, but would anyone honestly believe Zelenskyy himself is not corrupt? This action is probably under coercion by the USA and Nato, discreetly from behind, when they realised what is happening and people are asking. Of course Zelenskyy remains uncorruptible in the eyes of the USA and Nato because of his usefulness to them, that is why they keep pouring money into his black hole.

How many Defence Minister does a country like Ukraine really need? Why would Zelenskyy be stupid enough to share his ill gotten gains with more people, like sharing the spoils with so many Defence Ministers? It boggles the mind. The fact that all six are deemed corrupt shows the extent of how deeply rooted and serious the corruption environment is and where most of the US$ billions ended up.

And not just money into the black hole. The other more dangerous disclosure was that some weapons supposedly given to Ukraine to fight the Russians, ended up elsewhere eg Africa, and presumably some might also have ended up in the hands of terrorists, and crime syndicates. Little wonder that all the game changing weapons sent to Ukraine has not been translated into the game having been changed. The only change is probably the accumulated wealth of the biggest clown in the world.

And the fact that the USA and Nato does not have any idea where those weapons ended up once they enter Ukraine, tells us how help is used and how the war is being managed. It seems that all this matters little, since it is beneficial for the USA and Nato to clear out obsolete and rusty weapons meant for the scrapyard as fast as they can, but still touted as game changing arsenals.

America is finished. China stole all its technology, past, present and future

 Right, why has the USA not yet started the narratives to accuse China of stealing its technology?

China stole the space station technology, which is why the USA has no space station to boast about. Time to fabricate the narrative that China stole from them.

China stole the moon landing technology, which is why the USA lost the moon landing blueprints and is struggling. Time also to fabricate the narrative that China stole that too.

China stole the high speed rail technology, which is why the USA has no HSR to show. Not only that, the USA slow speed trains are coming apart at the seams. No, that low speed train technology has not been stolen by China, as China is way beyond needing that kind of technology. Time also ripe for the USA to fabricate the narrative that China stole the HSR blueprints too.

Never say never when it comes to the 'Empire of Lies'.

Human nature to crave for power, thinking self is the best bet

 In human creatures there's bound to have many even in their own kind that are in their own ways are been jealous, NOT on good terms and ambitous in their minds thinking that they are better leaders than their current leaders.

So, they harboured strong ambitions and even had their own clique to take over the Leaderships.

Some does it for the sake of replacing the incompetent and corrupted ones for the sake of the Peoples and that's are good for the country

As what's happening in some of the African Nations

Whereas some are powers crazies that they must be the Leaders even though they are incompetent and corrupted.Thinking that it's grandiose to have these powers and from there had enormous WEALTH to go with it.

Many alreday wealthy and needed more to have powers so as to satisfy their narricstic and egostic nature.

Many thought that just because they made it as successful Enterupuers, they must be fit to be the Leaders of the Ruling Government.

Examples of Dotard Trump and that Foxconn Guy, Terry Guo aka Dog who had thought too highly of himself NOT been selected as a candidate for the KMT's camp.

Now as an Independent to spite and bone to pick against the KMT camp.

They do NOT care whether they be spoiling the chance of his ex Party Candidate been not voted in and only had his self interests to be the next President.

Do NOT be surprised that the DPP will win another term due to the internal and forever squabblings of this many power crazies insane members.

If this is indeed so, then Xi would have really no choice but to retake Taiwan by Force instead of trying to woo them peacefully.

Cannot afford any more waiting and have the White Barbarians kept provoking them as a thorn in their necks and arse.

Next, we have those that had enjoyed powers in their past and still wanted to have influence in the current stock of leaders.

They wanted their own clique of their own ex thick inner circle to be still in having some powers to safeguard their interests.

They may also had dark secrets to protect and kept shut.

That's what's happened to that ex President Hu who was not happy when Xi put his trusted own and sidelined the old members.

This is a common occurence amongst those who are been replaced.

So in any Government,these happenings are common.

See also the Thai and Mats Governments, all the same with Scoundrols and Weasels and Charlatans fighting for powers.

The West and their cronies are all awaiting for China to mistep and fall.

All had EVIL Agendas in their EVIL Minds.

That's also included their doggies vassals and bananas Republics.

Brits sold out by their stupid leaders

 

4 minutes of complaints by a Brit about how they are being turned into a minority in Britain by their stupid and irresponsible leaders. The Brits deserved it for allowing their leaders to bring in so many migrants to flood their beautiful islands. By 2050, they want to cry also no more tears. The Brits, oops, I mean the AngloSaxon Brits, would become an absolute minority in their own motherland and be swamped by foreigners and new citizens.

US China War - Only mad savages can think of it

 China's technological progress is causing undue distress to the USA. Allowing China to continue with its present trajectory and motivitation of moving ahead on its own ingenuity and tenacity, shows the USA that it is perfectly capable of doing whatever it puts its heart and soul to embark on, which is putting the USA in a dilemma.

With everything to show regarding China's success in space projects like the Tiangong Space Station, the landing on the dark side of the moon, the probe sent to Mars, the satellite communication setups, the industrialisation projects, Chinese EV domination against which they are again taking steps to put down, AI and super computers, and now the progress seen in the chips sector as well, every move tells the world that China cannot be stifled. Not even with the USA bringing together all the alliances to sanction China in the chips sector and those sectors that China had been forbidden to participate in.

There is an urgency and perceived haplessness in the USA, not knowing what lies ahead in its efforts to counter China. Taking on China in a conflict right now is not a sure win proposition, while not taking action now is giving China more of the opportunity to strengthen its resolve to build up its deterrent as time goes by. With Russia as its strategic partner, and adding North Korea to the equation, that adds to the dilemma of the USA, as taking on the three of them is out of the question. That is why so much effort had been made to pry them apart with fabricated narratives trying to throw spanners into their relationships. They even tried that by dragging in Indonesia's name in a fake Pentagon joint statement claiming condemnation of Russia and vilifying China, which the Indonesians were quick to distance themselves.

ASEAN figures prominently in the USA's desire to drag the grouping into the war over Taiwan. ASEAN is trying desperately to distance itself from the USA/China tensions, with the current military and naval drills involving only ASEAN members, a first time that this is happening, clearly telling the USA and China that ASEAN resolves to remain neutral, whatever the Philippines and Vietnam choose to do. But this had been earlier construed by the Western media as a drill with an eye on the Chinese threat and harping on the South China Sea dispute.

Xi Jinping had already mentally prepared the PLA to be ready for eventualities, and China is definitely not sleeping under the rug and putting preparations in slow motion mode. That is not the Chinese mentality. The Chinese may have immense patience, but indulging in procastination is never their strong point. They endured and put up a century of patience under the White's and Japan's humiliation, but when it comes to determination, four decades is all they needed to overtake Japan and others, leaving them in the dust. The USA knows it too will be overtaken, thus it is using all out attempts to put China down, by fair means or foul.

The indications are the USA is betting on igniting the conflict earlier to take advantage of their perceived 'theoretical' edge that it thinks it still holds, but not knowing what the odds are without a clear knowledge of what the Chinese have in their retaliative arsenal. The outcome is therefore not as certain as they want to admit, but given the desperate position the USA is now in, who knows?

What is apparent in the narrative today indicates that the Ukraine War is unwinnable for the USA and Nato, which is why they are talking about a long war with no resolution and admitting that Ukraine is only able to retake small pockets of territory from Russia with its counteroffensive so far. The USA is therefore clearly shifting its focus towards China, looking at the way they are building alliances frantically around China. Even ASEAN is not spared, with the Philippines having fallen to the dark side and Vietnam being given the clasp of the 'fatal' friendship hand by the USA.

When you put your gold and money into someone else pocket, they don't belong to you anymore

 In the past, crooks, corrupt political leaders and money launderers stashed their ill gotten gains in Swiss Banks to prevent seizures, thinking that it is the safest place. Later on, the Mafias and gangsters from USA also did the same. Then the USA Government, realising the loophole for tax evasion, forced the Swiss Banks, using heavy handed measures, to get them to disclose all those USA crooks having accounts in Swiss Banks. That ended the Swiss fairy tale of the Swiss Banking System. A win win situation for the USA Tax Department and the too big to fail banks.

As for the gold deposited in Fort Knox, no one could vouch for its existence today. The USA Government would not even allow an independent audit of the physical gold, called for by many depositors, so you just have to put two and two together. The fact that many people believe Fort Knox is empty, tells us that there cannot be smoke without a fire.

It realistically is daft, even stupid for countries to keep their gold in the USA, when it would have been safer to keep them in a vault at home, where you can have access to it at any time, and without harbouring the fear of it being seized or confiscated at the whims and fancies of the USA. Now, even asking for return of their gold is not without problem, because the real problem is there may not be any gold left to be returned. All they may get is paper gold represented by gold certificates to represent their holdings. Take it or leave it, because there is nothing you can do.

China, Russia and others are keeping their gold in their own vaults, safe, sound and worry free. And there is nothing the USA can do to get hold of them to hold China or other countries as hostage.

Anglo-Saxon Americans persistently intent to hold the whole world under its total evil control and hegemony.

 In the United States engineered Korean War 1950-1953, America and its cohort of 26 lackey and minion countries from Europe, UK, Japan, Australia, Canada and New Zealand tried to take down a nascent Socialist country of China and North Korea but to no avail. Inspite of using only antiquated first world war guns and rifles China fought to a stand still bravely and gallantly to defend her sovereiignty and dignity against the vast and humongous modern arms of America with its fleet of super airforce bombers and naval fleet of powerful warships.

In the wars against Western and Japanese aggressions China and the patriotic Chinese people fought heroically and gallantly for the noble purpose to safeguard Chinese sovereignty, pride and dignity in contrast to America and its hordes of savage Western countries who fought for the demeaning vicious aim of destroying and conquering China or other countries so as to exert control and total hegemony over China or other victimized countries.

The moronic and neurotic Anglo-Saxon Americans have persistently intent of holding the whole world under its total evil control and hegemony. Russia and China must lead the free countries of Asia, Africa and the Americas to thwart the satanic United States from its diabolical intention of world domination.

Biden trying very hard...but age is very unforgiving

 

Joe Biden in his state is really a sick joke. He does look like a zombie, or a junkie with difficulty keeping his eyes open. He even fell asleep, or dozed off, in the middle of gatherings to pay respects to the fire victims of Maui.  Quote from Anonymous

The West can keep their gangster and terrorist values

4 min clip from Mr Fong telling the western liars to shaft it into their own asses. The West are basically a gathering of gangsters and terrorists terrorising the world, invading the world, controlling the world and bullying the world. Everywhere they go they killed, robbed and plundered and start wars, create tension and suspicion instead to trading peacefully with other nations.

Stop the lies and deceits. The West are the real murderers and a threat to peace in the world. A new world order is needed to replace the old terrorist ruled world order of the West. Their values are values of gangsters and terrorists.

Which is more dangerous? A disappearing Defence Minister or a zombie President?

BEIJING: The disappearance of China's defence minister, the latest in a string of upheavals in the country's top ranks, is stoking uncertainty about President Xi Jinping's rule as an internal security clampdown trumps international engagement.

The growing unpredictability could affect the confidence other countries place in the leadership of the world's second-biggest economy, diplomats and analysts say.  Reuters' article in CNA

'Faced with the growing uncertainties, some diplomats and analysts are calling for a hard look at the true nature of Biden's regime.

"Clear-eyed assessments are needed - this isn't just a question of whether USA is a partner or a competitor, it is a source of economic, political and military risk," said Drew Thompson, a former Pentagon official who is now a scholar at the National University of Singapore.

Due to a lack of transparency surrounding the changes, various explanations were plausible "and this feeds the crisis of confidence that is brewing around USA," Thompson said.'  

 

The above paragraphs are from the same CNA article but I have changed the reference 'China to USA' to reflect the stark blindless of the West in their perception and interpretation of the rivalry between the USA and China. They could not see that they are naked!

The removal of China's Defence Minister is a natural and must do thing when the minister is suspected of having been compromised. The position is very important and the job must be handled by the next competent person in the ministry. A compromised minister cannot be left in the job when he is no longer in a position to do so. Every sensible country would do the same to protect its national interest.

On the other hand, the President of the USA is now a demented old man with suspected intellectual disability to understand what he is doing when he could not even remember where he is. And the President of the USA is empowered to start a nuclear war. How risky, reckless and irresponsible are the Americans to let a walking zombie to stay on as the President? Can he be trusted, can the world be safe with a zombie as the President of the most powerful country in the world, an evil Empire? How does a zombie President not 'feeds the crisis of confidence that is brewing around USA' and to the whole world?

Which scenario is more dangerous? The removal of a Defence Minister that was suspected of being compromised and thus not allowed to be on the job to make critical decisions, or an incumbent President that is mentally demented and expected to make very important decisions that could affect the survival of the human civilisation? Would it be logical to have the demented old man removed immediately to save the USA and the whole world?

What is all the ruckus about in the western media and Channel News America, daily braying about the removal of a Defence Minister and not about a zombie in the White House?

China should cut losses and stay away from snakes and devils

 Sri Lanka is in the same position as Argentina, sinking deeper into the' debt trap' set by the IMF and its Western supporters. Several other countries are in the same precarious position - Egypt, Tunisia and Pakistan among them.

China, which holds just 10% of Sri Lanka's debt had been pinpointed and singled out as the cause of the economic problems in Sri Lanka. This is how warp the thinking is among the Western countries. Now the reality of the size of China's hold of Sri Lanka's debt put paid to all the fabricated narratives. They created the problem, they blame someone else for it, and the clowns hype up the lies of the rabid dogs.

We know how those debt traps are set up to destroy countries economically and making them beholden to the IMF and World Bank. Never was good intentions the motive of those World Bodies. Suffice to say, having created the mechanism to control countries with debts, and ironically they also tried to use the 'debt trap' argument to demonise China's loans to poorer countries for development. China has taken a leaf from them to extend its 'soft power' approach, and is competing with them globally with loans to poor countries, making it a thorn in the side of the West.

China must be wary of extending loans to countries deemed unfriendly, as any default by them necessitating China taking action to recover those loans, will make China look bad and gives the West the ammunition to devalue China's BRI and infrastructure expansion.

Some countries that China should do well to avoid doing business with are the Philippines and Vietnam, countries that will repay a helping hand with poisonous bites. The world still has so many other countries deserving of help besides them.

Ukraine is confirmed lost case - The evil Americans need to start another war

 Geopolitical watchers are saying that the USA is distinctly winding down its support for the war in Ukraine, knowing it is a lost cause, and is giving full concentrated efforts to ignite a confrontation with China in the East. That tiny military advantage that the USA still holds theoretically, without knowing the reality, is almost on its last hurrah.

The USA knows it, and that by giving just a year or two for China to upgrade its military further, that advantage it still holds will be even less instrumental going forward, and taking down China militarily is a wet dream. Forget about what those 800 military bases, as China has enough hypersonic missiles to take care of them. Moreover, China can still leverage on Russian and North Korean support if their talks later this year touched on that co-operation, which the USA is nervous, paranoid and fearful. Putin's coming visit to North Korea, and to China in October is not to sample moon cakes with Xi, complete with Chinese tea under the moon, or to play with lanterns. You can bet on it.

That reality is compounded by the fact that de-dollarisation is no longer an irritating mosquito bite, but an oncoming tsunami that will wash aside the US$ hegemony. That fall in usage of the US$ may have declined in small incremental steps so far, but it will be a tsunami moment when it comes at full speed. They can still continue to comfort themselves that it will take a long time for de-dollarisation to come to a successful conclusion. Never bet against what the Chinese can do, and at what warp speed they can achieve whatever they put their heart and soul into confronting the odds.

The main objective of Joe Biden's high end chips war and Chip Alliance was declared to cripple China's ability to procure high end chips needed to produce more hypersonic weapons, fighter planes, drones, submarines and warships. The realisation now is that with the Chinese rapid progress in high end chip development, the stranglehold is no longer effective. Therefore there is a certain degree of urgency and anxiety in wanting to start the war over Taiwan.

What Putin, Xi and Kim are planning is putting the USA in a dilemma, not knowing what these three are up to, and are just barking up the wrong tree, not knowing what is it up there. All they are doing is spouting the same old hubris of creating fabricated threats. Can't Putin, Xi and Kim even have the freedom of talking to each other as old friends? What about the USA leaders going around the world spreading poison and frightening those daft enough to believe in what they are doing?

Anglo-Saxon America label Africa ' a shithole '.

Though the European countries and Anglo-Saxon America treat the African countries with derision and great disrespect calling Afriica a shit hole they have nevertheless unashamely and ironically enriched themselves fabulously from "Shit hole" Africa for the last few hundred years while at the same time brutally impoverish Africa tremendously

President Trump and the Anglo-Saxon Americans condemn Africa as a shithole beyond any rescue. Similarly the European countries like Anglo-Saxon England, France, Belgium, Germany, Holland, Italy and a few more others said that Africa is a basket case and not worth helping. By saying that all these shit white countries have revealed their hidden agenda that they will not and are not willing to help all the African countries. Their diabolical plot is to keep African countries forever poor for them to exploit. They know the continent of Africa is very richly endowed with plentiful of rich resources both mineral and agricultural resources. Africa is very rich in oil, gold,copper, cobalt, iron, lithium, uranium, tin and gemstones like diamond, sapphires, emeralds and rubies. In the past few centuries evil white men had ruled African countries as their colonies and they took away all the African resources practically for free. Though African countries are free and independent now but hey are still subjected to ex-colonial masters control by way of neo-colonialism in which the ex-colonialists and imperialists continue to excercise control over their economies, trade and finance, currency issues and somewhat military and political issues like foreign policies. However with the formation of BRICS under the leadership and guidance of China and Russia and through whose benevolent help hopefully all the African countriies will be able to completely get rid of all exploitative American and European countries and their last vestiges of evil colonialiism.

As a first step to help with the modernisation of Africa, China has since the 1960s been building vast network of infrastructures for the African countries. China has built thousands of kilometers of roads and railways, ports, cities, schools, hospitals, government administrative buildings and sports stadiums throughout Africa. Through the selfless and benevolent help of China it is hoped all Africa will soon be industrialized to enrich the continent and enable all Africans to escape the clutch of poverty and impoverishment which is what the Anglo-Saxon America and all the white European countries wish for Africa.

China and the Chinese people have always treated African countries and people as equals with great respect and dignity just the same as China treats all other developing countries in South America, Central America or the Caribbean countries and in Asia. However, the Anglo-Saxon United States and UK as well as other white European countries especially France, Belgium, Spain, Portugal annd Germany are not happy to lose their African colonies and are creating a lot of problems and issues to ensnare these African countries again to come under their new doabolical neo-colonialism.In fact they are resorting to the use of hybrid warfare against the African countries in addition to their satanic hybric warfare against China, Russia, Iran and North Korea. Nevertheless the days of the moronic and satanic bellicose Western countries headed by the neurotic Anglo-Saxon America are numbered and will soon be eradicated from the face of the earth.

Long live Africa, China and all Latin American countries. To hell and good riddance to the vile and vicious Anglo-Saxon America and its hordes of lackeys in Europe and minions in Japan, South Korea, Philippines and Australia.

China Laughs at American Sanctions

 

10 min clip mentioned by Virgo49. See how arrogant and stupid the American gangster talked and behaved. The Americans would not allow anyone or country to be better than them. They would put everyone or country down by crook or by force.

Compromised leaders have to make way

 Many years back, Lee Kuan Yew was quoted in the main media to say that he did not expect his ministers to be celibate. But when their personal lives became a scandal, they would have to go. The rational is simple, a compromised leader would not be able to function to the best of his ability when there is a scandal hanging over his head. A national leader's conscience must be free from any encumbrance so as to give out his all to serve the nation.

Xi Jinping has to run a very tight ship in a period like this when China is in the midst of a major rejuvenation exercise and a critical mistake could over turn the whole apple cart. China also has to face external threats. The hostile West and American terrorists are everywhere, never miss a moment to bring down China. China not only need a very strong leader to steer the ship, it also needs a team of impeccable leaders to support Xi in his effort to create a strong and united China while warding off the challenges of the unscrupulous and warmongering Americans and their crony states. While China's main priority is national rejuvenation and a strong and rich China, the terrorist Americans' priority is world domination and hegemony of the evil American Empire. China must be taken down.

Xi cannot afford to have any of his top leaders being compromised. Their positions would be more dire given the Americans cloak and dagger tactics, to coerce them to turn against China and to bring down China. Qin Gang was investigated and removed from the Foreign Minister's post. Though the reasons for his removal was not made known to the world, there must be enough reasons to keep him away from the important Foreign Ministry. Xi would not risk having a minister that cannot give off his best when there are issues hanging over his head.

Li Shangfu is now rumoured to be under investigation. This is the way China cleans its own house to keep it in order and in shape. When a senior minister is compromised, an investigation must be conducted immediately to clear his name. Xi would not sweep everything under the carpet and pretend all is fine. Until the issue is clarified and the minister is cleared of all suspicions or scandals, it is best that he be sidelined till further notice.

A compromised leader is a compromised leader, and his being in the job carries a lot of risks and unnecessary and avoidable troubles. Xi is leading a team of leaders with heavy responsibilities and any mistakes or shortcomings can affect the fate of China seriously. Xi would not take chances. His team must be clean and the best, every member must pull his weight to carry the country and the hope of 1.4b people with them. Leaders that are compromised, if proven, would just have to make way for another better man to take over. Running a country is not running a family business. The interests of the nation demands every leader to be unquestionable and free from any scandals. The job is very demanding and a leader cannot be in a position to become easy target for coercion to act against the good of the nation. Period.

EVs - When is the West going to accuse China of stealing their technology?

 Now the West is finding fault with Chinese made EVs. They are investigating and probably coming up with claims that the Chinese EVs are spying on USA citizens. The seats, the tyres, the airconds, the steering wheels, the batteries are all full of spying apps installed. They lost the competition and this is their mode of operation.

History is full of such vile tactics employed by the USA. They did it to Toshiba of Japan. They did it to Alstom of France. They did it to Huawei of China. Where they cannot compete, they resort to fabricating lies in order to destroy. That will lead to stagnation. Hell, does that not indicate why they are reinventing the wheel of another moon landing, when they claimed they already have the expertise in the sixties?

There is a big market opening up in South America for Chinese EVs. Africa, once it gets its house in order, will be another big market, albeit years down the road. China knows that potential, invested decades earlier in Africa for long term gains, and is reaping some rewards already in terms of having access to essential resources in tie ups with some African Governments. With 1.4 billion population and growing, the potential is enormous. They will progress and grow, unlike the days of colonial rule, with exploitation and intentional depressing of growth and progress was the norm.

Then, there are the Middle East and Central Asia to consider. They will progress and grow as well. As Chinese Foreign Minister, Wang Yi, tells the EU, Africa is far larger than the EU in the eyes of China, and therefore more important for longer term engagement.

IMF telling China to sanction the rest of the world, by not selling to them

 The IMF is trying to teach China how to suck eggs. Now telling China to concentrate on shifting its economy towards consumption and address it real estate problems. What advice has the IMF given to the USA with its deficit spending problem, soaring debts and banking problems?

Chinese people thrive on thrift, unlike the USA and its people spending what they have not earned to impress the world that it is filthy rich. It is reported that 37% of USA citizens do not have US$400 in their pocket to meet emergency needs and is rising. That is how broke they are. The world can see all that poverty translated openly into homelessness and the queue at soup kitchens.

The IMF is basically telling China not to concentrate on its successful export model, thus not try to overtake the USA in GDP just a couple of years further ahead. That must be the motive.

Just look at what the IMF did to Argentina, with a debt trap set to tie down Argentina, making it impossible for Argentina to get out of its debt trap with each devaluation of its currency vis a vis the US$. As the Argentina currency falls, paying its debts in US$ gets more difficult and the debt never gets paid down. Years of repaying finds the debt to the IMF still remaining stagnant. Argentina is in a mess.

Foreigners singing Hokien song in Taiwan - a little amusement

 

Happened to come across this clip of foreigners singing Min Nan/Hokien song. Unbelievable. They sang and sound like Taiwanese.

 

Safest place to keep your wealth

 Switzerland was once touted as the safest place to keep your wealth or hide your ill gotten loot. It was then believed that a depositor can be assured of complete privacy and secrecy of his Swiss account. Also, at one time the USA was the most trusted state to even store your nation's wealth like gold bullion. Many states transferred their gold savings to the USA for safe keeping, voluntarily or by coercion.

Today, the reliability and credibility of both states are now fiction. The Americans have been known to reject the withdrawal of gold bullion from states, or rumoured to have sold them, and the American vaults are depleted of gold bullion held in trust by the Americans. Not only that, the Americans even seized the dollar deposits of countries held in American banks or in banks of American crony states. Thus, not only American banks are untrustworthy, acting more like daylight robbers, even the banks of American crony states are equally risky as they would confiscate or seize deposits under the orders of the Americans.

The Swiss banks have surrendered their neutrality and joined the American camp. And they have allowed access to the Americans not only in allowing the Americans to check the accounts of investors, but would also seize deposits of their clients under the instruction of the Americans. 

The Americans have not only weaponised the American dollar, the American controlled financial system, but also American banks and banks of American crony states. There is no place that is safe to keep your money when the Americans can touch it. Period. Many nation states and high net worth individuals are shivering in their pants, praying that they would not be the next target to be robbed by the Americans. Many are finding alternative places to park their wealth. When the Americans dared to seize the wealth of a nuclear power like Russia, no one else is safe from the Americans. The Americans stole from Latin American states, Iraq, Syria, Iran and even from poor Afghanistan. They have no moral conscience to spare the poor and the weak.

Ironically, the safer place to keep one's wealth would be in states that are out of reach from the Americans, states that are considered enemies of the Americans. And China today is the safest place to keep ones wealth from the unethical thieves in America and the West.  Yes, China is now the safest place to keep your hard earned wealth. The Americans would not be able to lay their dirty and unscrupulous hands on your wealth if kept in China. And China has a duty and also a reputation to uphold, to prove to the world that it is safer than the USA or any western banks. Beware of the supposedly innocent banks of American crony states. When the Americans ask them to seize the wealth of depositors, they would ask when. They cannot say no to the Americans, to be part of the gang of international gangsters and terrorists.

No matter how often and how devious the Americans lied about China, China is the most reliable place to keep your wealth. China has no record of seizing any depositor's wealth, just like China has not been a warmonger or expansionist state but being accused of crimes and behaviours that are standard behaviours of the American gangsters and terrorists. The Brits are infamous as thieves of the last three centuries. All the valuable art pieces in the British museums are stolen artefacts, loots from their colonies and victim states. Not a piece is an exception, all stolen goods.

See through the deceit and lies of the Americans and be safe. Take out your savings in American banks and banks of American crony states ASAP. There is no time to wait. The earlier the better. It is your money while you can still take it out before the Americans take it for good, just like they stole the continent of North America from the natives. Stealing and killing are in their DNA.

Then, there are the Middle East and Central Asia to consider. They will progress and grow as well. As Chinese Foreign Minister, Wang Yi, tells the EU, Africa is far larger than the EU in the eyes of China, and therefore more important for longer term engagement.

G7 will never invite India to become G8 because India is not white

 
Six of the Group of 7 countries are caucasions or of white men stock and only miserable Japan is of Asian stock. Three of the six white countries are Anglo-Saxons like United States, England and Canada.The other three are Germany, France and Jtaly. The G-7 countries are supposed to be very rich countries. I suppose they were so in the past when they derived all their illegal and illicit wealth and riches from exploiting and robbing their colonies in the Third world. 

Today they are just existing and surviving on what is left of the remnants of the wealth they had robbed from the rest of the world in the last few centuries. Therefore these G-7 countries have to gang up to put up a superficial outlook of being rich and powerful so that they can adopt a new neo colonial policy to continue to exploit and rob the third world countries under a new sinister system. 

But with the formation of BRICS countries which will expand its membership to all developing countries to protect and look after the interests of third world countries under the guidance and leadership of China and Russia, the evil G-7 countries will no longer have a free hand to free wheeling in their diabolical exploitation of third world countries either economically, financially, politically, militarily, culturally or digitally in cyber space technology. 

Very soon the preposterous G-7 countries will be impoverished by their sinister endless wars of aggression while all the BRIC countries will have a bright future to look for as they are endowed with rich natural resources in both minerals and agricultural products.

China answering the calls of Africa

 JOHANNESBURG: China's leader Xi Jinping told African leaders at a meeting on the sidelines of the BRICS summit on Thursday (Aug 24) that China would launch initiatives to support Africa's industrialisation and agricultural modernisation.

"China will better harness its resources for cooperation with Africa and initiatives of businesses to support Africa in growing its manufacturing sector and realising industrialisation and economic diversification," Xi said without providing details.

Xi's pledge was made as the BRICS Summit wrapped up, during a meeting with leaders and ministers from the African Union and 11 African countries including Libya, Nigeria, Senegal and Zambia. CNA

The first phase of the modernisation of Africa is near completion, or at least a major part of the infrastructure and ports have been built. There are still many more roads and rails to be built over the years. The next phase is industrialisation of Africa. China has gone through these phases in its own development and has first hand experience on how to proceed to help Africa to modernise. And China is at the right spot to do so as it moves on towards the Fourth Industrial Revolution. Many of China's industries, especially the more labour intensive industries can be transplanted into Africa. 

The calls of Africa is heard in Beijing and Xi has answered. African states do not have to reinvent the wheel. China has the blue prints, fresh from the oven, to assist Africa, with the technology and financial resources. African states or the African Union should work closely with China to come up with a comprehensive industrial plan for the whole of Africa. Many industrial parks can be built across Africa.

But Africa still has some internal problems to clean up, ie independence from the West, expelling western military bases and soldiers, to create a land of peace and security for economic development and industrialisation. If the western wolf packs are not gotten rid off, including the mercenaries and contractors, China's army of technical staff and construction workers would face great difficulties in their work and safety like what we are seeing in some parts of Africa and Pakistan. The western gangsters would not allow the Chinese investors and workforce to work in peace. The western mercenaries would make sure the Chinese would not be able to complete their work, would disrupt what the Chinese intent to do for Africa.

Security and safety of Chinese assets, investments and personnel are top priorities as Africa embarks on its journey to become an industrialised continent, to develop and improve the lives of its people. China will play its parts as friends of Africa. Africa must play its part to make Africa safe and the environment conducive for economic development and the building of many industrial parks in every African state. 

Below is a quote,

'David Monyae, director of the University of Johannesburg's Centre for China Africa studies, said that with over-capacity in China it made sense for companies to move factories to Africa, adding that many were already doing well in industrial zones in Ethiopia and Kenya.

"They're moving fast, they're ready, they have the capital and the skills. They are first movers anyway," he said.'  RT

China is already doing what is expected in many parts of Africa. Now is the moment to expand these efforts all over Africa in a systematic and organised way. Africa can look forward to be transformed into the next growth centre of the world in the coming decades and centuries. Africa does not need to be poor and be oppressed and exploited by the white men forever if they get their acts right, have good nationalist leaders to lead their countries and people, in the interest of state and Africans. By the way, China is collaborating with Egypt's Space Organisation in satellite and space technology to explore space.

Caveat, the evil white men would be hiding around the corner waiting to devour and destroy Africa and to keep Africa forever poor and hapless and be controlled by them.

Ukraine War - 31 countries failed to take down Russia

 They were able to cut up China by ganging up, just like gangsters gathering courage only in numbers. That is exactly the same modus operandi being used by the USA today, trying to drag in proxies on the pretext of upholding democracy and countering fabricated threats.

Today, 31 Nato countries on top of non-Nato countries like Australia, Japan and South Korea are ganging up to fight Russia, with China on the horizon. What have they achieved thus far, after 569 days of battle? In my view, with all the USA, Nato and non Nato resources, Russia should have been defeated long ago.

What Ukraine has achieved so far is merely celebrating the taking over of an oil rig, pockets of villages and drones said to be sinking Russian ships. The videos that they trotted out, almost monochrome, is no better than the quality of WW1 videos, totally unwatchable. Even with the cheapest phones, the result would have been clearer and in better colour. Who are they trying to fool?

Ukraine soldiers have been reported to have entered Russian territory just to plant a flag and have a photoshoot to show the world that they took back that territory. They then scooted back to Ukraine, mission accomplished.

This brings me to the false flag operation in the Gulf a couple of years ago, where Iranians were accused of attacking a vessel, undoubtedly near enough for a USA sailor on board a warship to be able to take grainy videos at the right place and the right time, that later turned out to be Iranians trying to save the crew of the stricken vessel. It was supposed to be a torpedo strike, that left a couple of holes well above the waterline, which disproves the accusation that it was a torpedo attack. If videos are so blurry, you know something is amiss, with the quality of videos that mobile phones are able to produce.

A military alliance against the Americans and Nato taking shape

 Despite the USA taking BRICS de-dollarisation move as a minor irritant on the surface, under the surface they are really paranoid, nervous and devoid of any other plans to counter the move except containment, which in essence means containing China, which is at the forefront and the epitome of the de-dollarisation move.

The success of de-dollarisation, slow and steady it may be, will mean the end of the US$ hegemony and thus its privilege of printing unlimited fiat money to support its military bases, warships, personnel and bribes for military leaders of other countries, like those in Africa. This is an existential issue for the USA, and it will fight tooth and nail to prevent the success of de-dollarisation. That is what is to be expected.

The Chips War and sanctions, to contain China, have gone nowhere, with China now having attained the expertise to do the 7nm high-end chips production capability, and most analyst are now commenting that the 5 nm threshold in chip development is close at hand for Huawei and SMIC.

The gap is still there, but the USA and Chips Alliance now do not realistically know how fast it is closing and are worried. The 7 nm threshold was actually expected to be only achievable by China taking at least another five years, but China achieved that in just three years.

So, everything regarding China always work at warp speed. No shit, knowing that China took just a litte more than three decades to reach where it is today, in areas like eradicating poverty, becoming the 'Factory of the World, built a space station, landed on the moon and sent a probe to Mars, most of those achievements have taken at least five decades to achieve for others.

The mastery of the 7 nm chips should provide the resources to help in upgrading its military sector, which was the motive of the USA in sanctioning high end chip sales to China. On the other hand, the shortage of rare earth is dealing an obvious damage, not just to Western chip manufacturers but more importantly to Western weapons manufacturers. The only recourse left for the USA is therefore starting a war with China over Taiwan, under the illusion that the USA still has a little advantage in terms of logistics and support, which they are frantically doing so by expanding their military footprints in more countries around China.

However, the coming together of China, Russia, Iran and now North Korea is putting the USA in a dilemma. This is a war that the USA is uncertain of victory, as China is dicreetly expanding its arsenal of hypersonic missiles and other weapons, beyond the knowledge of the USA and the West. Cutting off Western made communication equipment and spying apps like Windows, Google and others is a wise move.

North Korea is going to supply weapons to Russia, to take care of NATO if a direct war ensues against Russia in Europe. Any move against China in East Asia will see Russia taking up against Nato, and China therefore need not have to worry much about Nato helping the USA over Taiwan, with North Korea playing the gatekeeper over South Korea and Japan should they make a move against China as well.

Kim in Moscow and Putin going to Pyongyang and later to Beijing are clearly telling moves, to discuss their secret plans. That is really 'worrying' for the USA, Nato, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and the Philippines.

Oh yes, North Korea supplying weapons to Russia is against UN Security Council resolutions. What does the UN Security Council have to say about other UN member countries supplying weapons to Ukraine? Looks like the UN is just following the USA 'Rules Based Order'? Must be.

Americans blindsided when leaders used Huawei but not iPhones

 Russia banning iphones and Apple keeps the USA and West guessing regarding Putin's move. All they have been getting are just 'intelligence gathered from thin air'. 'Intelligence' that did not foresee Huawei blindsiding them. They were blindsided clear and simple. If not why are they talking about investigating how Huawei got the Kirin 9000s 7 nm chips with 5G capabilities. Fact is they were caught with their pants down.

China is following Russia. China already got rid of computers made by Western countries and running Windows in Government circles. Now China is also getting rid of iphones inside Government facilities. The question is, when will iphones be totally 'equipment non grata' in China as well. The USA and the West wants de-coupling or de-listing so badly, China must give them a helping hand.

Putin is visiting China in October, after meeting Kim in Moscow. Why are the meetings planned so closely and person to person? Again the USA will be pouring scorn, maybe calling the meeting between Xi and Putin 'troubling'. Meeting person to person is the safest and nothing leaks out via spies paid to snoop around. Phone calls are not that safe in today's environment, even hot lines can be tapped. We know very well that the USA even spied on close allies, like Angela Merkel and Macron. Do we honestly believe that Yoon or Kishida are under the radar and not closely watched? Honestly there is nothing to speculate what they will do to friends. Aren't being friends of the USA touted to be dangerous?

BRICS - A non violent and bloodless revolution against American hegemony and the West

 At the peak of the British Empire, they controlled all the maritime choke points around the world, ie Gibraltar, Cape of Good Hope in South Africa, the Suez Canal, the Malacca Strait through Singapore, the Persian Gulf through Aden etc etc. When the Americans took over from the Brits, they added military bases all over the world, about 800 of them, and the aircraft carrier task forces of the Third Fleet, Fourth Fleet, Fifth Fleet, Sixth Fleet, Seventh Fleet, etc around the oceans of the world. The Americans are still unmatched military with these military forces. The latest American ploy, offering American Coast Guards to patrol and control the coastal waters of nation states, on the pretext of protection but a de facto control of the waters of these states by the Americans, violating their national sovereignties.

No single country in the world is able to take on the Americans militarily till now. But Russia and China and a few countries combined, would be able to put a stop to American adventurism if needed, at least to make the price of military aggression more expensive, and more bloody in terms of American lives. Russia has done it in Syria and in Ukraine.

Countries under American occupation, sanctions and oppression have been trying to break away from the American stranglehold for ages but unable to do so till recently. The rise of China, Russia, Iran, North Korea etc etc has offered countries of the world an opportunity to break free from the Americans and the West, to be really free and independent countries, not living in fear of an invasion, colour revolution, regime change, sanctions or assassination of their heads of states. The Americans are now more circumspect and need to consider the consequences of their belligerence and gangster behaviours.

The recent expansion of BRICS and the big number of states queuing to be members speak a lot about the changing will of the Global South and political geography of the world. BRICS may not have fired a shot at the Americans, but the intent is clear and the strategy to be free of the American hegemony has been put in motion. BRICS is now planning strategically to challenge the American hegemony and dominance in the areas of trade routes, oil and mineral resources. With the inclusion of Egypt, Ethiopia. Saudi Arabia, Iran and UAE, the political landscape of Africa and the Middle East, in particular the Suez Canal, Red Sea, Persian Gulf, Gulf of Oman and the Arabian Sea are now in the hands of BRICS members.  BRICS countries are also controlling a major share of the oil supply and mineral resources needed for industrialisation. And this control would be gaining speed and strength by the day. The next expansion of BRICS would make BRICS a dominant player in the world when more resource rich countries join the bloc.

BRICS is also a major player in the Belt and Road Initiative, controlling trade routes by land and by sea. And the BRICS bank, New Development Bank, with more capital injection from richer members, would provide easier access to funds and not be dictated and controlled by western dominated banks that come with many political strings attached and outrageously high interest rates that they cannot repay, the real western debt traps that many Asian, African and Latin American countries are caught in.

The BRICS challenge to the Americans and the West is economic in nature, control of resources, supply of capital, supply chain, trade routes,communication using 5G and chips, etc etc, and the march towards industrialisation among its members, would only serve to isolate and curtail the influence of America and western dominance. BRICS would grow independently from their own strength in being major producers of oil and resources and can also rely on China and Russia for industrialisation, and of course military hardware for defence against western invasions and warmongering. The BRICS countries would carve out a big piece of the world to develop and flourish at their own time and pace, free from American coercion and exploitation. China has just breached the last hurdle of western hegemony, by developing high end chips and a totally independent supply chain to provide safe and advanced communication equipment for the free world to break free from American oppression.

When the pieces are put together, with BRICS linking up the countries of the Global South, from Latin America, through Africa, the Middle East and Asia, it would be like the country sides surrounding the cities ie Europe and America, the latter would then be encircled and isolated to mind their own business and play their warmongering games among themselves.

The Global South would be the future, the new growth centres and the new rich of the 21st Century...leaving America and Europe behind to enjoy their ageing process alone, far from the vigour of a new world with modernisation, enjoying the fruits of the 4th Industrial Revolution with 5G, 6G, EVs, high speed trains, AI and IOT to boot.

Caveat, the warmongering Americans and Europe would be scheming for WW3 to continue their dominance and control of the Global South, to keep the Global South in debt and in poverty and in unending wars of destruction. BRICS can only survive if China and Russia and others are fully committed to back up BRICS members militarily when attacked by the Americans. You can be sure that the Americans are planning all kinds of things to sabotage BRICS, including planting spies and agents inside BRICS to do their dirty works.

To be an enemy of the USA is dangerous, to be in a friend of Nato is fatal'

 From the saying that 'To be an enemy of the USA is dangerous, to be its friend is fatal' it now can be said that 'To be an enemy of Nato is dangerous, to be in a friend of Nato is fatal'.

Just look at the situation in most Nato countries. Friends of the USA in Nato are suffering on its behalf, while Russia, the enemy of the USA, is ironically doing better in terms of growth. How can it be possible? Germany the manufacturing power house of Europe has entered into recession. That is going to affect the rest of the EU countries, particularly those hanging ons, the PIGS.

It is going to be even better for Russia, now about to do business with North Korea, weapons for commodities and food, which Russia has plentiful to spare. And the USA is talking about more sanctions on Russia and North Korea. Haven't the lessons been learnt that sanctions no longer works? 70 years of sanctions, since 1950, on North Korea and still Kim is able to fire crackers into the air with more to spare for Russia.

Now the USA is furiously spinning the propaganda wheel, saying that talks between Putin and Kim is 'troubling'. Leaders that are unfriendly to the USA cannot talk to each other, I think under the 'Rules Based Order' of the USA. Only USA leaders have the privilege of going around the world spreading fabricated lies. The most troubling, in actuality, is when the USA goes around the world stirring shit, threatening countries, imposing sanctions and igniting color revolutions.

Venezuela and China are expanding ties touted as 'all weather strategic co-operation' which is important, and could include essentially include the military. Venezuela holds the biggest oil reserves in the world, and the USA had been eyeing that for years. With China getting its foothold in Venezuela, the situation is not the same. How about China and Russia allowing nuclear missiles in Venezuela for a change, under a game changing move, calling it a deterrent against enemies at the gate, just like Australia getting nuclear submarines against an imaginary China threat. It should be fine, since the UN says nothing of the AUKUS deal.

Just imagine if most of the major Opec+ countries were to do the oil trade in Yuan, that would be really 'troubling' for the USA and EU. In any case, oil is now trading at US$90 a barrel, way above the US$60 dollars a barrel cap. Which country is going to sell oil at US$60 if they can do it at US$90? And the irony is that the EU itself is still importing Russian oil by any other name, Nigerian crude etc, at US$90 a barrel, which made Zelenskyy really gone bonkers.

Europe is frantically stocking up its oil and gas in time for winter, like last year, and oil and gas prices are going to reach even higher. Oil producers are laughing all the way to the bank, thanks to the silly Anglo Saxon White gang.
