We non-foxes in this system become the victims of the elites when necessary. First, they have to allow us the illusion of our being participators and stake-holders. This step, though repugnant to them by nature, is necessary to build the pot up so that when the time comes, they can walk off with all the assets. Our "investments" are the ante and wagers, and when the time is best, they call, play their superior hands, and take the "winnings", which are now being raked off the table. It's an old scam, and we never figure it out, like Charlie Brown and Lucy with the football scam.

In late 1972, the LA-based group WAR released "The World is a Ghetto". At the time, I thought it was kind of nihilistic; that is, until I lived it. "Don't you know, that it's true, that for me and for you the world is a ghetto?"

Bill is right. Why do we irrationally hate such a wonderful rights-respecting country like China? It makes no sense! All this bad stuff I've read about that country - millions upon millions of their citizens killed during their revolution. Their government enforcing a one-child per couple policy. Enslaving a Muslim population. Sealing their citizens in their apartments during COVID, not to mention letting COVID escape from one of their labs. Stealing US intellectual property. They have such a pure and wonderful ideology (not too different from our own Democrats) that who cares if they infiltrate our institutions. Come on - this is all child's play when you consider the benefits of trading with them and investing in their companies, especially their companies that have ties with the Chinese military. And don't forget letting them buy up our farmland, especially land near our military bases. What could possibly go wrong? Come on - who doesn't like chicken wings, pork fried rice, and egg rolls. That's all that this wonderful benevolent nation is about!
