Ukraine War - Self deception by western media

Day in and day out the MSM is propagating the narrative that Ukraine is ready for the spring counter offensive. Just like Gordon Chang's China collapse, it is updated day by day. You can be sure that tommorrow, China will collapse as some sites on social media are hallucinating. Tommorrow Ukraine will start its counter offensive is another hullucination to digest. Putin is twiddling his thumb and waiting.

Ukraine is touted to be ready for a counter offensive very soon. Have the USA delivered the Abrams tanks yet that will be another game changer? Wait another year or two, the USA assured Zelenskyy. As long as Zelenskyy believes in the 'feel good' narrative, the war can therefore continue to the last Ukrainian. Wonder how long Ukraine is going to survive? But not to worry, every Unkrainian's life lost is just collateral damage for the USA.

Just this morning I heard the fantastic news about Ukraine shooting down 21 out of 24 Russian missiles. Ordinarily, it is estimated that to shoot down one missile takes about 2 to 3 patriots from the ground. In other words, only a 25% to 50% chance of success. How many patriot batteries do the Ukrainians have? Maybe 2 to 3 shots to take down one incoming missile is rather optimistic, knowing that it needs more than one to take down a stationary weather balloon.

For a credible counter offensive, how much weapons does Ukraine need? All Ukraininan weapons are delivered after much begging and bargaining. According to sources, those game changing Leopard tanks sent by different Nato countries just became duds, even if ammunitions are available but unsuitable. The more severe problem is that different Leopard tanks from different countries, after modifications over the years to suit each country's usage, fired different calibre shells and are not uniform. In the end, they just fired 'farts'.

There is also talk for months that Zelenskyy wants fighter jets, which again will not be able to operate in the kind of terrain in Ukraine, after all the bombardment by Russia. US F16's need very well maintained runways and are unsuitable to be used on less even surfaces, as it is understood that the engine is sited too close to the ground and sucks in debris on uneven runways thus posing a danger to itself. Therefore, even with those jets, Ukraine will need runways suitable for them, which is not available and those jets will become duds as well. Or sitting ducks for Russian missiles.

With no suitable airstrips for jets to take off, other than using other Nato country's facilities, which will elicit a Russian response, Russia will continue to control the airspace over Ukraine. Counteroffensive ultimately needs airpower for cover, but without them, how is Ukraine going to do it?

Salient Truth and Facts: The Impending Collapse of the US Economy.

 The Impending Collapse of the US Economy

The collapse of the US economy will have disastrous impact on US and the world. This coming economic collapse is the consequence of the myriads of debacles and problems created by US itself in which it is unable to find a solution. However, US always puts the blame on other countries for its selfmade problems. So it is now racheting up hostilities throughout the world. It hopes to solve its selfmade problems through wars so that it can abscond with the trillions of dollars in debts that it owed to many countries notably China, Japan and Middle East Arab countries.

Let it be known that in the past few hundred years Western countries especially the Five Eyes of the Anglo-Saxon UK, USA, Canada, Australia and New Zealand have grown rich and prosperous only through invasions, killing, cheating, stealing, robbing, looting and enslaving of other non-white people's lands and countries.

The US had abused and weaponised the Petro Dollar and had confiscated hundreds of billions of dollars of other countries like Russia, Venezuela, Iraq, Iran, Libya, Syria and many more others. It has victimised these countries with illegal sanctions and stopping  their use of SWIFT, an America controlled international currency exchange agency. This has caused immense pain and suffering to the citizens of these victimised countries.

Now many countries headed by Russia,  China, India and Iran have conducted their trade and commerce in their own currencies. Many more countries in ASEAN, Africa, Middle East and South America have decided to conduct trade using their own currencies.

With the trend of ditching the Dollar gaining momentom it will have a detrimental effect on the US economy. It will greatly affect and impoverish the American citizens notably the middle class and the poor. Neverthess the Americans have it so good as free riders on this Petro gravy train and benefitted from the fiat dollar for over seventy years at the expense of all other countries. It looks like it is now going to be pay back time for the Americans.

With the ditching of the Gold standard as a medium of exchange in 1944 and the subsequent use of the fiat dollar the United States has had a strangle hold on other countries economically, politically and militarily. The US uses its controlled IMF and World Bank, two international currency and financial institutions to leverage on its control of other countries. The United States and its main Western European allies will fund countries or regimes that align with US policies. It will impoverish and bankrupt countries that do not follow American dictates and thus make these victimised countries forever indebted to the US and its allies. The end result is US exerting almost total control over these countries which are coerced to let US built  military bases in their countries.

The United States got rid of the Gold standard so as to achieve its evil agenda of world hegemony and unilateralism under US dictatorship. Below are some quotations from Phil Butler's article in New Eastern Outlook which is self explanatory.

 "The primary purpose of remaining off the gold standard is that the government can print money endlessly, with two primary goals. First, a massive defense budget and needless proxy wars would not be possible if the United States were on the gold standard. Secondly, the people who control the central banks cannot extract interest on national debts that are currently out of control. So, the fiat currency supposedly backed by the “full faith and credit” of the government, the dollar, is worth what lying politicians and finance ministers say it is.

One look at the worldwide bond market reveals a disturbing imbalance. The U.S., which now has over $51 trillion in outstanding debt, has borrowed more to finance wars and programs than China, Japan, Germany, Italy, France, the U.K., and Canada combined. The American taxpayer is responsible for almost 40% of all the foreign debt in the world. And the outlook for the short and long-term future could not be better.

President Joe Biden wants to borrow even more when his administration conducts a proxy war against Russia in Ukraine. With billions flowing into Europe’s most corrupt country, Americans are on the precipice of an economic catastrophe not seen since the Great Depression."

"According to the Bipartisan Policy Center in Washington and the Congressional Budget Office, the government will no longer be able to pay everyone — including bondholders, Social Security recipients, and federal employees — sometime this summer or early this fall. A New York Times report from late March outlines the situation. But the problem is far worse than many experts suggest. No matter which way lawmakers move, the U.S. has almost insurmountable fiscal issues. The ramifications will be dire whether or not they raise the debt limit. And if the BRICS countries go off the dollar as a trade currency… Well.

Many experts predict that American greenbacks won’t be worth the printed paper if the world stops using the U.S. dollar as its world currency reserve. Moreover, if the dollar loses its value significantly, every American who owes a credit card loan or a home mortgage will find it ten times harder to pay off those debts.

To make matters worse, millions of jobs will be sacrificed for the Federal Reserve to get any financial stability. Analysis from RSM International shows that the central banks must “induce” a recession to get America’s economic situation in check. And the dollar being made useless by the larger world community was not a factor in their analysis.

The bottom line is if we were still on the gold standard, this would be fine. The gold standard reduced the risks of such economic crises and recessions. Income levels were higher when we were on the bullion-backed system. More importantly, the gold standard created hard limits on printing money and limiting military spending. 

As confidence in the dollar wanes and U.S. policy overseas gets more aggressive toward BRICS nations and others, the tipping point of the American hegemony draws closer."

The crux of the problem is that US is 'riding on the ever fearful tiger and is unable to dismount without injuring itself. The Anglo-Saxon United States is by far the most wicked country in the world. It has endless diabolical plans and actions to destabilise other countries. It instigates and foment wars and turmoils among other countries instead of bringing peace to all countries as what China has been doing. It creates endless political and economic problems for other countries and impoverish these countries to make them suffer and indebted to US. It enjoys and cheerish at the suffering of other countries. 

The United States is riding on the proverbial tiger of the US Pentagon Military Industrial Complex, a monster that commands 70 percent of the US economy and contributes as much to its GDP. It is at the heart of the US economy and therefore US evily creates perennial wars to keep the Pentagon Industrial Complex on going and its economy running. Thus US provoked the Ukraine War and is not interested in any suggestion to stop the war. It is angry at the peace accord between Saudi Arabia and Iran as brokered by China. It never stops interfering in China's internal affairs and has been provoking China over the Chinese sovereign territory of Taiwan hoping to lure China into an open warfare with Chinese traitors in the island. Besides Taiwan US has been maniacally creating uncalled for issues and problems in the South China Sea intending to create turmoils and wars between China and some ASEAN countries. It is also trying to provoke a war between Japan and China, between India and China and between North Korea and South Korea. US is fearful that if perennial wars come to an end its Pentagon Military Complex will grind to a full stop and thus causing the total collapse of the American economy and the ultimate demise of the Evil American Empire.

The United States is so wicked and evil that it had destroyed many small and weak countries. It is now trying to incite and plan a regime change in Russia and China. However in taking on Russia or China the Evil Empire will definitely meet its nemisis. The signs are in the air that US will soon face dire retribution or Karma  or Pow-ing in Chinese as US economy shows signs of collapsing and as more and more countries ditch the Petro dollar and deserts the untrustworthy United States.

Reparation for black slaves and whites that died to free them

Bernie Moreno, a Republican candidate in next year’s election in Ohio for its two seats in the US Senate, has proposed that the descendants of white people who died during the US Civil War while fighting with the North for the emancipation of black people, should receive financial compensation.

“White people died to free black people,” said Moreno. “It’s never happened in human history before, but it happened here in America. That’s not taught a lot in schools much, is it?” He continued: “You know, they talk about reparations. Where are the reparations for the people in the North who died to save the lives of black people?”

His comments come amid a proposal in California last year to pay black people in the state who are descendants of slaves as much as $360,000.  RT

It is time for reparation. It is time for conscience pricking. It is time to act than to keep talking endlessly but with no results. The black slaves and their descendants have suffered long enough, and centuries have passed by without any real concrete actions to admit the crimes against humanity, human rights and human decency. Millions of Blacks have suffered such inhuman treatment under the white men, treated like animals for the slaughters, beasts of burdens, beasts for the enjoyment of the white men, at times as prey for the killings. All these is recorded in the history books of the white men, though many have been sanitised to make it less evil, just like collateral damages for the killings of Muslims men and women and children in Iraq and many countries in the Middle East.

Sure, recognition must be given for the dead white men that fought and died to free the Black slaves. There are conscionable white men that knew what is right and wrong, good and bad, and common decency as human beans. Let them be recognised as the heroes for a good cause.

Let's compensate them with reparation. Let's also compensate the descendants of Black slaves for their inhuman sufferings. The wrongs of the past must be put right and not ignored.

Chips War - China hitting back

China is starting to pay the USA back in its own coin while the US$ hegemony is not gone yet. China is going after Micron for a start. I think China has carefully calibrated its move to strike back where it will hurt most. China's cyberspace regulator said it would conduct a cybersecurity review of products sold by Micron Technology to 'prevent hidden risk and safeguard national security'. Good move by China.
The USA is hysterica over such a move, claiming 'China lacks transparency in many conventions of law and policy and this is one'. The USA knows this is going to prove costly for both sides playing the same game of using 'national security issues' to support their moves. Now, what about the USA's unproven national security case against Huawei? What transparency and evidence has the USA provided other than just hype up hysteria to destroy competition. Rest assured, Micron will not be the last, as China is slowly moving away from relying wholly on USA chip makers and shedding reliance on them. Micron has a 10% market in its overall sales worldwide in China.

After China's move to discontinue the use of all window based computers in Government circles last year, and the country moving into 5G usage, the USA knows its spying game using windows platform and still relying on 4G is no longer workable, and China knows for a fact that the USA had, for decades, been playing the same game. China has therefore disabled the usual channels available for cyber espionage by they USA and by migrating into 5G, the USA has now no control in planting backdoors. However, China probably already have evidence that products made by USA companies and sold in China are taking over the task of espionage. This is a wise tactical move, and China must have found evidence of such new threats looming over its national security. After all, the claims of 'national security threat' is not that easy to prove, and it works both ways.

Since the USA is now accusing anything made in China as a spying platform - mobile phones, quayside giant cranes, substation transformers, solar panels, washing machines, bread toasters, toilet seat covers, weather balloons etc, it is high time China pays back the USA in its own coin.

Anything, rules and conventions made by man can be made by any man.

American hegemony in black and white

The US is fine with China’s economic success, as long as it’s on Washington’s terms
By Timur Fomenko, a political analyst

The US is so wrapped up on its protectionist, America First doctrine that it cannot be seen to be making concessions. And, looking at Yellen’s choice of words, we see the “catch” – China is only permitted to grow on the condition that it accepts “US economic leadership” – in other terms, the US’ political, economic, and military dominance....

...Today, the US wants to benefit from the Chinese market, but only if the terms are favourable for American companies and capital, and is therefore attempting to force capitulation. This is why so much of US policy concerning China is devoted to try and destroy or contain the bulk of China’s own high-end industries and companies.

For example, the US does not want China to develop its own commercial passenger jets, such as the C919; it wants Beijing to rely eternally on Boeing. It does not want China to develop its own microchip-making capabilities, as this will undermine the US control over the industry. You get the picture. The US had little issue with China dominating low-end cheap manufacturing that makes trivial and unimportant goods such as throwaway plastic hotel combs or nail clippers. That’s the kind of economic engagement Washington wants, where the balance of profits is in its favour, but the burden of consumer and labour exploitation is on the Chinese.

Finally, it might be worth noting that the US does not tolerate any economic competitor, even among allied states. Hence it has shown little remorse for the destruction and deindustrialization of the German economy, or when it crippled Japan with the 1985 Plaza Accord. The only acceptable China to the US is a weak China, that serves no purpose other than to be a cash cow from which all profits, incentive and talent are vacuumed home. China sees this as completely unacceptable, akin to a new ‘Century of Humiliation’ and this is why no ‘economic truce’ is possible if it is predicated on China’s surrender to American terms.  RT

Above are parts of an article by Fomenko in RT. The evil American Empire with a face like Yellen, is telling China and the rest of the world that it intends to be the ruler of the whole world economically and militarily and would put down any country that dares to challenge this American dominance. They had taken down Japan and Germany and now going to take down China and Russia. India and the rest of the emerging economies would face the same threat and viciousness of the evil Empire when their turns come.

The evil Americans are not about competition. The lies about freedom to choose, democracy and freedom to compete are only on American terms, that is, the Americans sit on top of the pile and everyone below can do as they like without upsetting the American's dominance. And they would coerce the rest of the world through lies, cheating, force and the might of the American war machine. They are now taking down their mask of civility, not pretending to be the good guys anymore. They are the international gangsters and the rest of the world must live under their mafia rules aka rules based order that only the silly would believe and sing in praise. And they want economic leadership by printing money and not producing goods of value for the world. They want tech leadership by suppressing Chinese techs but unable to compete in technology, no 5G, no hypersonic missiles, unable to even produce a better app than TikTok. And now their lies about having been to the moon are being exposed.

It is good that the rest of the world are marching behind China and Russia to stand up to the world's number one terrorist and gangster, the evil American Empire. The pressure and threats against their European allies are so overbearing that Europe is also rebelling and wanting out, to be free from the demonic evil American Empire.

Down with the Evil American Empire.
