Much of that can be traced to $$$$. Many Politicians (both D & R) were bought & paid for by China and other foreign interest & investor groups over past decades. The Japanese did it back in the 80s/90s out in Hawaii.

How about these optics... Trump quotes from Task Force briefing on 4/10/20.

"I gotta make the biggest decision in my life"

"It's been my great honor to have been their president"

Why past tense? Strange.

"I have a big decision coming up and I only hope to God that it's the right decision."

This was all said toward very end of the 2+ hr briefing. There is also a suspicious military angle that seems to oppose Trump on Reopening America.

Conspiracy: Rooting China the hell out of the US under cover of COVID may be part of this Op and unfortunately will be casualties. This has already started in the telecom sector (includes telecom real estate) with a recent EO by Trump.

a reply to: EndtheMadnessNow

I'd just look at as him not taking it for granted that he'll be re-elected in November. His first term is coming to an end, and in spite of what people might think, he does have at least some sense of humility.

This is odd. Trump signed another executive order on the 14th of April. This one had to do with the succession policy of the Department of Interior:

Section 1. Subject to the provisions of section 3 of this order, the officers named in section 2, in the order listed, shall act as and perform the functions and duties of the office of Secretary of the Interior (Secretary) during any period when both the Secretary and the Deputy Secretary of the Interior have died, resigned, or are otherwise unable to perform the functions and duties of the office of Secretary.

Sec. 2. Order of Succession.

(a) Solicitor of the Department of the Interior;

(b) Assistant Secretary of the Interior in charge of Policy, Management, and Budget;

(c) Assistant Secretary of the Interior in charge of Land and Minerals Management;

(d) Assistant Secretary of the Interior in charge of Water and Science;

(e) Assistant Secretary of the Interior for Fish and Wildlife;

(f) Assistant Secretary of the Interior in charge of Indian Affairs; and

(g) Assistant Secretary of the Interior in charge of Insular and International Affairs.

The last one was added.

The Assistant Secretary of the Interior in charge of Insular and International Affairs "facilitates, supports, and coordinates DOI’s international engagement to advance DOI’s mission and support complementary U.S. foreign policy objectives abroad."

There's something go on here. Trump is moving the DOI from Washington, DC to Grand Junction, Colorado:

theconversation.com...

"First, senior agency staff will have more difficulty communicating with Congress. Second, the White House and Congress will still make broad policy decisions about public lands, but they will do it with less input from knowledgeable and experienced career professionals.

And by forcing government employees to either move to the West or find other jobs, moving the BLM headquarters will effectively gut its staff without running afoul of civil service protections. White House Acting Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney admitted as much in an August 2019 speech:

“By simply saying to people, ‘You know what, we’re going to take you outside the bubble, outside the Beltway, outside this liberal haven of Washington, D.C., and move you out in the real part of the country,‘ and they quit — what a wonderful way to sort of streamline government.”"

a reply to: OsirianObsidian

MUCH more of the government should be moved out of Washington DC. Let Washington find another reason to exist besides wallowing in the swamp. Networking has allowed dispersion of government activities to happen to for years. The only reason it hasn't happened is that the bureaucracy is too comfortable with itself.

Cheers

Im joshing you kiddo.
I know a few millionaires and a billionaire or two and several broke ass crazy people that won't do anything without consulting their charts.

I know some who are in the broke ass category and it makes me think that they are an example that smashes the theory this really works using this for success in all endeavors. They are failing at it at bare minimum and just barking up the tree. Sure there is some minor affects on humans from the other planets but the Sun is the one that has the magnetic field and radiation of life and death in its spectra. The planets are reacting to the Sun and the natural forces of nature we all know such as gravity.

This is exactly how China operates. They will buy up farmland and buy products from farms they own so that they are still contributing to their own GDP in some shape or form.

Not sure why the US allowed such a large parcel of land to be sold to a Chinese firm outright. No other country in the world would let that happen, because they have foreign ownership laws. Chalk another one up to Barack Hussein "Renegade" Obama.

At this point the US can shut them down on RICO charges if someone would have the balls to just call it what it has been for 20 years, a criminal conspiracy to destroy this country from within. Lets do it and move on already.

At least one other country agrees with POTUS about WHO's mishandling of the whole saga. This from Australia:

"A bipartisan push has begun for a global inquiry into the origins of the coronavirus pandemic, including China's handling of the initial outbreak in the city of Wuhan.

Foreign Minister Marise Payne has urged China to allow transparency in the process and does not believe the World Health Organisation (WHO) should run the inquiry."

- Ms Payne said an inquiry into the outbreak should be run independently of the WHO

- The WHO has faced international criticism of its handling of the pandemic

- Labor (the Australian version of the Democrat party) backed the push and urged the Government to secure the support of other nations

www.abc.net.au...

There's also still things happening in the South China Sea, regardless of the COVID-19 pandemic that China caused. Here's a paragraph I found interesting, because a certain name cropped up:

"The other thing to watch is the slow strangulation of Malaysian and Vietnamese oil and gas operations in the area. China’s ongoing harassment is making it prohibitively risky and expensive for Hanoi and Kuala Lumpur to keep this up. What happens if Petronas — the Malaysian government’s cash cow — has to pull the plug on important projects off Sarawak? How does Hanoi respond if (and more likely when) Exxon pulls out of the Blue Whale project or Rosneft seeks to offload the Nam Con Son project? These are tangible and significant costs that political elites, at least outside of Vietnam, don’t seem to be giving much thought."

thediplomat.com...

I'd heard of Rosneft before due to the Nordstream 2 project:

"Another American finding work in the Ukraine was Joe Biden's son, Hunter, hired in 2014 to sit on the board of Burisma Group, one of Ukraine’s biggest natural-gas companies, for as much as $50,000 a month. He’s hardly unique: Former German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder chairs the boards of a controversial Russia-to-Germany natural-gas pipeline project, Nordstream 2, and of Russia’s state-controlled oil behemoth, Rosneft Oil Co PJSC."

fortune.com...

As part of the Carter Page FISA, there's a part where it says that Igor Sechin, president of Rosneft and close ally of Putin, was put under sanctions that cleared the way for Burisma Group to operate the pipeline into Western Europe. Nordstream 2 is a way of circumventing the Ukraine.

I don't believe in coincidences.

So I did some looking around, and I found this from December 2019:

"The massive $11-billion project is just weeks away from completion and has led President Donald Trump to call Germany “a captive to Russia.” He has criticized the European Union for not doing more to diversify imports away from the nation that supplies more than a third of its gas.

Senior U.S. administration officials, who asked not to be identified discussing the administration’s take on the project, said sanctions that passed Congress on Tuesday as part of a defense bill are too late to have any effect. The U.S. instead will try to impose costs on other Russian energy projects, one of the officials added."

www.bloomberg.com...

The sanctions did have an effect, though - AllSeas, that was laying the last section of pipe in the Denmark section (remember the whole 'sell us Greenland' thing? This is what it was about), stopped work on it:

"The pipeline was just weeks away from completion, with 94% already constructed, when U.S. sanctions stopped work. There’s a small section in Denmark’s waters that needs to be finished. Before the halt, Nord Stream 2 hoped to finish by the end of 2019 or in the first few months of this year. That would allow gas deliveries in time to supply Europe by winter 2020-2021."

www.worldoil.com...

This was the main reason why Russia walked away from OPEC+ and tanked the price of oil, by the way. It was a tit for tat.

Then you've got the House of Saud who have their own goal of 2030, just like China does.

World War 3 has already started, IMO. It's just not fought with bullets at the moment, but with USD. That's why the country needs to reopen again, and very very soon.

It will be 2030 when the tinderbox erupts, because all these countries are pushing for supremacy in a world that has finite resources. And the US knows it. That was one of the reasons why the Obama administration was allowing the US military to suffer - they actively wanted China to become the superior force, so long as they got their 30 pieces of silver. It's part of the main reason why the Democrats are against the Second Amendment. This from early last year:

"The US Army estimates the Russian army's military capabilities will peak in 2028, closely followed by the Chinese around 2030, giving the United States almost a decade to prepare for those threats, a senior Pentagon official said in an interview on Monday."

"If we're going to fight and win against the Russians and Chinese in the year 2030, 2040 and 2050, I've got to start building the next generation now," Secretary of Defense Mark Esper said.

www.businessinsider.com...

This is why it's important for the US to get its act together, right now. Every single person who wants to play political games, or feather their nest, or do anything that is contrary to the ideology of the United States and its allies should be dressed down the way it happens in this scene:



Where we go one, we go all.

I love how this Aussie handles a prepper trying to return 150 packs of 32 rolls of toilet paper (that's a total of 4800 rolls!) and 150 bottles of hand sanitizer for a refund.

I'm shocked that an organization whose logo is a SNAKE would lie about the cause of death for political gain. "Do no harm"

Medical statistics are new level of lying, cosmic level.

UPDATED

The Major came back on and said it was now ruled "accidental death" as it should've been.

I wonder if the original ruling still stands in the covid19 statistics . Somehow i dont think errors are being back tracked? Also wonder if their are incentives for labeling deaths as covid19 for the state ,county, or hospital?

Years from now, Great Pharoh will have a dream that if they dig this monument out, great prosperity will once again come to Venice California.

Listen to the prophecy.....

Good morning, folks.

It looks like the Aussies are trying to cover their azz. They're claiming that Alexander Downer acted without clearance when he raised concerns over potential Russian interference.

Former foreign minister Alexander Downer acted without clearance from Australian officials when he contacted United States diplomats four years ago to raise concerns about potential Russian interference in the US presidential election.

A new memoir by former prime minister Malcolm Turnbull reveals that Mr Downer raised his concerns directly with the US embassy in London in July 2016 but had "no authority from Canberra" to do so.

www.smh.com.au...

I take this as a good sign that things are maybe finally coming to a head.

The justification for allowing it was because it wasn't a "state-owned" Chinese company.Behind the Chinese Bid for Smithfield Foods

Here's a snippet in case access to article is blocked.

The bid is [was] subject to a national security review by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States, and that scrutiny will include a review of shareholder records.

Analysts say the Chinese company’s ownership structure is unlikely to complicate the review, since Shuanghui is not state-owned.

I wonder who were the members of "the Committee" at the time?

a reply to: PioneerFigureSkating

Downer is the guy who posed on the front page of an Australian newspaper in high heels and fishnet stockings underneath his suit.

Lapses in judgement are a career cancer for him.

a reply to: CanadianMason

Everything in China is state-owned. You just need to do some research.

1994: Shuanghui Group was established as a state-owned enterprise. After its establishment, Shuanghui Group continued to expand its size and scope of meat processing operations through a series of investments.

1999: The "Shuanghui" brand was designated as a "National Well-known Trademark" by State Administration for Industry & Commerce of the People's Republic of China (SAIC).

2006: CDH Shine and Goldman Sachs acquired Henan Luohe Shuanghui Industry Group Co., Ltd. ("Shuanghui Group").

2013: Our Company acquired Smithfield, the largest pork processor and hog producer in the world, as a wholly-owned subsidiary.

www.wh-group.com...

Then you look at this statement when Goldman Sachs sold half its stake in WH Group (known then as Shineway/Shuanghui to CDH in 2009:

“But CDH has long-term commitment to Shineway given its strong Chinese background and good relations with the government,” he added.

www.reuters.com...

Whenever you see 'good relations with the government' when it comes to China, think 'state owned in all but name to get around ownership laws'.

Either the people on the committee are incompetent, or one or all of them were on the take. There's no other explanation for it, IMO.

Maybe the "hunter is now the hunted" is a reference to China.

The last two decades China has been hunting for weak countries in need of assistance, weak politicians willing to sell out their countries and weak industries to exploit with cheap labor and other incentives and, as we are seeing it played out, infiltrating and corrupting the W.H.O..
China has exploited the "rules", for example gaining many global financial advantages by qualifying as a developing country, remember how the "BRIC" term was coined and nobody questioned the c for China amongst Brazil, Russia, India as developing nations.
How can a developing nation loan the USA, the country with the reserve currency, 1 trillion dollars?
www.scmp.com...

The world’s debt to China grew tenfold between 2000 and 2017, from US$500 billion to US$5 trillion, with 80 per cent of emerging nations receiving Chinese funds

The nature of Chinese overseas lending means that many loans are outside the international banking system. While 85 per cent are denominated in US dollars, the loans are often issued by Chinese banks to Chinese contractors overseas to avoid direct loan disbursement to debtor country governments, which are considered to have high default risks.

China is a "scam" nation hunting for the weak to infiltrate and corrupt in an effort to usurp the USA as the global leader and impose their culture and economic leverage on the world.
China has been hunting for a while now and this coronavirus has exposed them in a big way, mainly because president Trump won't allow those over invested in China to white wash their culpability and people, the world, is in the process of seeing just how deep/far the Chinese have gotten to achieving their goal and China is now the hunted.

“Around 50 per cent of China's international lending to developing and emerging countries is not included in official statistics. They are not recorded by multilateral surveillance institutions such as the IMF or the Paris Club, by rating agencies, nor by private data providers,” read the report.

Apparently this broke yesterday. First hint of it came from a Twitter post.

Jason Kenney @jkenney Shocked to learn that my longtime friend Martin Lee, founder of the Hong Kong Democratic Party, was arrested today together with many of #HongKong’s most prominent citizens. Martin is the elder statesman of Hong Kong democracy. I hope for his immediate release.

This link will take you to the actual story about it.

High Profile Arrest

My question, is Hong Kong just being little jerks now, or are the people that have been arrested actually crooks and deserve it?

It's worse than you think.

Monetary policy in all countries is determined by the deficit a country has compared to the amount of its currency other countries own. So what should happen is that when the USD is in demand, the economy should be stimulated, wages should increase and inflation should rise. The Federal Reserve takes note of the investments that other countries make in the dollar and adjusts the printing of money accordingly. This is called the balance of payments.

But what China's practices do is take the USD and pay it 'under the table' to other countries, because the yuan is pegged to the USD. This is done away from the the balance of payments sheet - so it's like that money just disappears into a black hole. So instead of the US economy getting stronger, wages increasing and inflation rising as people buy more and more stuff...it just stagnates.

In 2009, after the GFC, $133 billion was siphoned off to China.

Then from 2014-2016, another $196 billion.

Monetary policy in all countries is determined by the deficit a country has compared to the amount of its currency other countries own.

As the "reserve currency" status that the USA has we have different rules and objectives. The "Triffin Dilemma" explains this and the complications associated with having the "reserve currency".
www.thebalance.com...

The Bottom Line
Despite trillions of dollars in foreign debt and continuous large deficit spending, the United States still holds global trust and confidence of its ability to pay its obligations. For this reason, the U.S. dollar remains the strongest world currency. It may continue to be the top global currency in the years to come.

The dollar’s current number one status is under contention though. Countries such as China and Russia feel a new one world currency, one not backed by any one nation, is overdue in this increasingly integrated global economy.



But what China's practices do is take the USD and pay it 'under the table' to other countries, because the yuan is pegged to the USD. This is done away from the the balance of payments sheet - so it's like that money just disappears into a black hole.

This was exactly what I posted, take a look at the last excerpt.
