China collapsing...or America collapsing?

 'You can fool all the people some of the time, some of the people all the time, but you cannot fool all the people all the time' - Abraham Lincoln

If the USA's economy is that good, why are supermarkets closing outlets like no tomorrow, companies downsizing with headcounts diminishing, banks facing failures and F&B outlets calling it a day. Where are these people going to find other jobs? Without jobs, people just resort to robbing supermarkets freely, without being arrested. My God, this is turning into the new USA economy.

Without jobs and earnings to spend, how are supermarkets and F&B outlets that are left going to survive with dwindling customers? It is a wheel of misfortune overcoming the USA on all fronts. And yet they are only concerned and worried about China collapsing! China is not going to collapse tomorrow or ever. Its 5.2% growth in the first quarter of 2024 is even beyond the ability of the USA to achieve.

The most unbelievable part of the fairy tale is the talk of how rosy the USA job creation was only yesterday, and today it comes crashing down like a house of cards. This is not job creation honestly. It is all an illusion, a sleight of hand! All those talks about the ups and downs are like the weather forecast, just to continue to keep the USA economy on steroids or in ICU, until the November elections.

Americans threaten ICC. This is American 'rules based order'

 As expected, the USA and the Israeli supporters in the West are rallying against the reported ICC arrest warrant coming against Netanyahu. Netanyahu is running to Biden for help.

Biden has now warned the ICC that the USA will retaliate against its leaders, if it goes ahead. In other words, those ICC leaders will be assassinated or bombed to dust if they go ahead. This was the kind of threat they made against the ICC for attempting to issue arrest warrants for George Bush, Colin Powell, Donald Rumsfeld and Tony Blair. The ICC leaders had to back off after that threat.

The USA is saying that Netanyahu did not commit war crimes, unless the USA says so. What hypocrites! Whichever body or country interprets the meaning of 'genocide', that does not count, and only the USA's interpretation counts. Even gangsters have morals. This kind of gangsterism is without even a tinge of morals.

How could a country, supposed to be the leader of the free world, expect to have respect from others for using such tactics to suppress the truth that everyone already could see happening in real time.

China moving up the technology chain

 Let us be honest. China is moving up the technology chain and not just content to be an iPhone assembling hub forever, with workers making pittance out of assembling iPhones, while Apple laughs all the way to the bank. China is not content to let its citizens be paid 'slave wages' to make products for freeloading by the perpetrators of the 'slave wages' mantra.

China's supply chain for smartphones does not serve Apple alone. There are dozens of smartphone manufacturers in China, all Chinese brands at that, that can source their inputs from the supply chain down the road. The USA is forcing Apple to decouple from China's supply chain, so what is the point of fretting over Apple's eventual departure, even if it does happen.

China is placing priority in overcoming its chip sector reliance on the West, Japan and South Korea. China is ready to fight its battle against the 'Chips Alliance'. Not only in chips manufacturing, but China is also going into chip making equipment like lithography machines and selling them cheap to make ASML uncompetitive.

Another area that China is moving into is aviation, one that China has yet to have a foothold to counter the likes of Boeing and Airbus. The falling fortune and reputation of Boeing is a good opportunity for China, the right place and the right time to take advantage. It will be difficult no doubt, but not impossible. Impossible is not in the vocabulary of the Chinese. They now have a space station, a Beidou satellite mapping system for its miliary, satellites circling the moon, have been to the moon and have landed a probe on Mars, are the frontrunner in high-speed railway construction that are in demand around the world, and helping to lift countries out of poverty.

That is where China is moving, not in the least worrying trend about Apple's move to India.

Anglo Saxon threats to world peace mounting

The US and the UK are pushing for total war on all fronts

The Iran-Israel clash has served as a catalyst for renewed escalation by Western leaders, and World War III cannot be ruled out .

By Timur Fomenko, political analyst

The events of recent weeks have produced a sudden jolt in Western politics. From a lethargy that was starting to creep into US and western discourse over the Ukraine war, Iran’s attack on Israel suddenly seemed to have had the effect of awakening Ronald Reagan from his grave and leading to a surge of neo-conservativism on steroids, on both sides of the Atlantic....

Then the UK decided to devote its largest ever aid package to Ukraine, with Prime Minister Rishi Sunak warning of an “axis of authoritarian states” and amplifying ideologically combative rhetoric. At the same time, it was then revealed Biden had sent 300km long range ATACMS missiles to Ukraine despite having pledged not to do so for years, fearing escalation. Finally, EU President Ursula von der Leyen has suddenly dramatically increased economic warfare on China, pushing the European Commission to open probes on scores of Chinese exports. Where exactly did all this come from?...

It should be abundantly clear now that the current powers that be, in London and Washington, have absolutely no intent of letting up on the wars they have provoked, while also pushing for a potential third one with China, and seem indifferent to the consequences, even if for example, the Israel-Gaza war is shattering the West’s claims of moral superiority. In each case, the stakes are very high, Western foreign policy at large has taken on a very zero-sum and ideological character which bemoans the loss of hegemony, and seeks to uphold it at all costs. It is reactionary to the extent it does not have a vision for improving the world, but wants to take back the world to the way it was. It is a sense of entitlement and privilege that wants to suppress an emerging multipolarity....

The above is part of an article in RT. 

Who is threatening WW3? No it is China, so said the Americans and the silly western educated elites in Asean. Really? What is China doing vis a vis what the Americans and the Brits are doing as described in the above passages? The Anglo Saxons are starting more wars for peace, to promote peace. They love peace. They are stopping China from starting wars, but China is not doing any of this. China starting wars, a threat to peace? Who are these mad people and what is in their numbskull for insisting that China is a threat to world peace... but the Anglo Saxons are for peace? Can't they see the blood dripping down the hands of the Anglo Saxons?

When would these asses cut off their daily bread of poison and lies from the Anglo Saxon media and rhetoric to see the real world? The world is in flame because of the Anglo Saxon savages! The Anglo Saxon savages are all out to start WW3 so that they can continue to rule the world. Period.

USA is an orgy of lies, fake news and propaganda

 Notice how ridiculous are the Western propagandas manufactured in a USA propaganda factory that often backfires and be proven to be just lies and nothing else.

Take the case of the death of Navalny, which the USA and the West vehemently insisted was killed upon the orders of Putin. Now it appears that they are admitting that Putin had little to do with Navalny's death. Every little misfortune suffered by the West is the work of Putin. Every little setback of the West is the work of Xi.

Strangely, all the problems of the USA always fall on outside scapegoats. The USA never will blame itself for being uncompetitive, devoid of ideas and becoming stunted by lack of innovation. The USA will never own up on its mistakes. It does not look into the mirror. It is so ingrained in its head that lying is the way to do things and that has become its nature in everything it does.

When China rose to control 30% of industrial capacity of the world, with the USA controlling a mere 10% and mostly in military equipment, it is China's fault and China must now cut back on such over-capacity. And the USA thinks it can demand China to do that, using threats of financial sanctions. Most people do not believe in that overcapacity hubris and are saying that the industrial overcapacity of China is just an illusion born out of jealousy. Even gangsters have morals, so says Robert di Niro.

When Russia sells oil and gas to Europe at cheaper prices, outcompeting the USA, Europe had been forced to cut its reliance on Russia for energy, and the Nord Stream pipelines must be taken out at all costs. And the stupid Europeans just resigned themselves to be sacrificed and suffering serious problems over energy shortages and paying exorbitant prices for USA energy. How much longer can Europe carry on like this is questionable.

When Japan and Germany posed threats to the USA's economic power, they had to be taken down, to allow the USA to remain the top dog. Companies like Toshiba and Alstom were taken to the cleaners using trumped-up charges, and Japan and Germany just acquiesce and sheepishly retired to the corner.

When the USA and the UK could not find excuses to attack Iraq for standing up to sell oil in Euros, the USA and UK used fake evidence, inventing WMD and chemical weapon narratives to sell their odious agenda at the UN to attack Iraq.
