China dumps 50% of its holding of American Treasuries. Run for your life if you are still holding American bonds

 China used to hold US$1.3 trillion in American Treasury bills. This is now down to US$680 billion. China has dumped almost 50% of what it used to hold as the top buyer of American bonds. China has dropped to third place behind Japan and UK. What does this mean when the top buyer of American bond is fleeing from this volatile and weaponised asset? It means China does not trust the safety and value of American dollar anymore and is liquidating as fast as it could. For the moment the pace of liquidation is still moderate but would gather momentum very soon when China's holding falls below 50%. By then the whole world and bond holders will get the signal. There will be panick selling for safety. Those who are too slow in getting rid of the bonds will be crushed. Run for your life before the big rush sets in.

The dollar is going to lose its value very fast. All the alternative banking systems to bypass the use of the dollar are in place. Nearly all the BRICS countries and Global South countries have signed up and set up alternative banking systems to trade outside the dollar. The usage and utility value of the dollar will shrink to a level unheard off before and will never recover. The clowns in Washington are doing all they can to crash the dollar, to sow distrust in the dollar, to keep printing the dollar to depreciate its value further. 

In the last two weeks, the dollar has depreciated more than 2% against the yuan. This is a dangerous sign and all the banks and funds will react to this to rebalance their dollar and yuan portfolio. When the herd instinct begins on its rampage, there is no where to run. The dollar will just crash. No one is seeing this, no one thinks this is possible. Not the clowns in Washington, still celebrating their last Christmas before the curtain comes down.

Merry Christmas for the last time to all holders of American bonds and dollars. The selling of American bonds by China will gather pace. Japan is also panicking. As the top holders of American bonds now, with more than a trillion, Japan cannot be caught holding the baby. Run, run, run.

Piracy is Trump's new beautiful word

  Tariff was a beautiful word that Trump discovered in the first week of his second term of Presidency. Now at the end of his first year in office, he has discovered a new word, Piracy. This is now his most beautiful word after tariff. Piracy is not a crime in Trump's world. In the world of a mafia chief, every crime is a sweet word. Killing or bombing picnickers in their speedboats is no crime. 

Stealing is also no crime especially stealing a big island like Greenland. Just say it is for the national security of America. America is under threats. Everyone is going to attack America. Chinese and Russian ships are calling on Greenland. This is a security threat. America must have Greenland for national security to be safe from China and Russia. 

What excuse will he used to want Canada for national security reason? Too many Indians in Canada? As for Mexico or Venezuela, it would be easy. Trump needs Mexico and Venezuela to stop drug trafficking, a national security threat. What else is new and delirious?

He was asked about the containers and the oil he stole in the Caribbean. Easy, he will just keep them, the oil and the oil tanker. This is not piracy, not stealing when done by the Americans. It is about national security. Anything floating in the Caribbean or the Gulf of America is free for the taking, or to be bombed and killed by Trump and his American pirates. Trump needs all the oil, lithium, copper, raw material, everything in Central and Latin America for national security and must have them. Get it?

How many silly pro American asses agree and support Trump's piracy and stealing of country, oil, tankers and whatever? They all agree. They are not saying anything, not complaining, not condemning, not screaming or shouting foul. Silence is consent. No unthinking and braindead pro American supporters will disagree with Trump, no matter how sick and perverse and immoral are Trump's behaviours.  Oops, oops, these are very responsible behaviours of Trump and America. I rest my case.

Piracy is a beautiful word. Genocide, war crimes, assassination are all beautiful words to the Americans. By the way, Trump's pirates just stole a third tanker belonging to Hong Kong, China. China is going to steal an American tanker soon to tell Trump China will follow American's good and responsible behaviour.

NATO needs to invade NATO countries to stay relevant

NATO Europe is a lost sheep trying to find its foothold. And NATO Europe had even been talking about forming NATO Asia, with Japan leading the way. NATO Europe pushing and threatening Russia to the West and NATO Asia threatening and pushing China and Russia from the East is such a smart move. What a wonderful idea to suit the USA's interest.

It would be interesting to see how the three stooges, the USA, NATO Europe and NATO Asia, not just running in circles, but in loop fashion, going back and forth and ending up in square one.

NATO Europe is a derelict of WW2, being kept alive by the USA hyping up the Russian threat that never existed. Russia's invasion of Ukraine had been the result of NATO trying to expand to Russia's border, a very wide border, giving the USA a foothold in Ukraine to site nukes to target Moscow. That has been the agenda of the USA prodding NATO to expand into Ukraine, the buffer zone that Russia needs against NATO vis a vis the USA. Now that narrative has been hijacked and twisted around, using the claim that Russia is expanding its border. Russia is not interested in taking control of Ukraine when it is sufficient for it just to serve as a buffer zone against other NATO Europe. Why would Russia want to carry the burden of ruling and taking care of Ukraine with its corrupted DNA? Is that really too difficult to accept?

America's white elephant AI infrastructure for the royalties

When China succeeds in making high-end chips, which will be a matter of time, USA's Rolls Royce chips will only be saleable to the Royalties in UK and Europe, LOL. How realistically big enough is the market to sustain those Rolls Royce manufacturers I wonder.

Let us watch the show unfolding, with USA Rolls Royce chip giants pouring hundreds of billions into building up aggressively its AI infrastructure and data centers, trying to stifle China. Wonder how white elephants come into being? Chinese AI developers took the 'on the cheap' route of just putting in a couple of millions to stand shoulder to shoulder with USA top AI giants. That was really an example of more bang for the buck.

The USA can forget about using the AI investment trap of luring China into competition to collapse China's technology infrastructure, thinking that what works against the Soviet Union in the military spending spree is going to work against China.

Can anyone believe anything from Trump and the Empire of Lies?

Never underestimate Trump. He pulled off six bankruptcies and is on the verge of pulling off another big one. Everything in the USA is crashing. Job creations are crashing as farms collapse, retail outlets close, food and beverage outlets fold and tourist stayed away. It cannot be any other way, no matter how Trump and his sycophants try to spin and flog a dying horse.

Tariff collections are crashing too as countries just ignored his extortion letter, even having the audacity to thank them hypocritically for what Trump is doing to them. This is adding insult to injury. How many countries realistically have gone to Washington to kiss his arsehole? Just a handful of sycophants and cronies hoping to get the crumbs and getting insulted.

Yesterday, it was reported that consumer spending was 'robust', yet today the report says unemployment rate has risen to 4.6%. Knowing that most USA citizens have been reported to not have just US$400 in their savings to meet emergency needs, how realistic is the report than they are still spending 'robustly'. I suspect all the figures reported and statistics trotted out are all massaged to give a rosy picture.

Trump is one kind of person who will remove any personnel in his administration that tells the truth about unemployment and jobs and putting another that can lie, cheat and steal. I just do not know what is going to happen with the one replacing Jerone Powell. As Richard Wolff said - 'I was scared earlier, but now I am terrified'
