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!
You forgot the best one - next day shipping of all the stuff they make! Seriously, who could beat that? And I possibly (I'm sure I'm wrong) detected a bit of sarcasm there. But consider this: We put our dissidents in universities, where they corrupt our youth. The chinese put their dissidents in prison, where they can reform their radical thinking, and make stuff for us. The chinese way is a win-win, for both our great nations.
Are the Chinese bad? Well I live in Richmond BC, a neighbour to Vancouver. My city has been overrun by Chinese (75%) who are making no attempt to assimilate or even speak our language. Are they bad.......not really, but their ostentatious behaviour and sense of superiority certainly doesn't make them good. And the human rights violations in China should not be overlooked.
I have a Chinese friend who once took me aside, born and raised in Vancouver in confidence and states, "do you see that couple", pointing to two elderly Chinese people walking down the street, "they're communists" I laughed, oh come on Frank you cant be serious, he replies, "they're communists believe me". I shrugged it off 7 years ago. He may have been right.
#35. All the three letter agencies have discredited themselves, and all should be dismantled.
It's interesting that it worked both ways; Russians readily took to American culture, and eventually dismantled their government. Americans, being short sighted and stupid (both symptoms of selfishness, of course), missed an opportunity to make a friend of the Russians. The devil behind the scenes, and his human agents, had a different agenda.
A history of dog eat dog survival, by people of different nationality & culture breeds too often, arrogance & being treated with Ignore!
Unless one is of the royalty clans or legion, vast majority thus deemed being peasant/slaves, unwashed, unlearned status was that of ‘live or die’ being of no consequence to “them upstairs”.
It was and got many still is of zero interest or relevance of royal elite I.E. those near to the God of their upbringing & dogma training.
YES, the CCP IS a bad thing, for US, for China, for everyone, and the same can be said for any and all other communist parties worldwide. Ask Hong Kong, ask Jack Ma, ask Taiwan, ask Tibet, ETC!!!
Yes, I’ve lost tens of thousands in bonds this past few years, of course on the advice from my “ financial advisor” 🤔 but made much more on my own advice of AI stocks😊 Yes Bill, we mere men have been known to follow our financial, religious and political leaders to our demise, but look at all we have learned throughout millennium 🤔. Joel, at this point of losses in the bond market, would you sell the remaining you own, eating your losses, or wait for the feds to start dropping interest rates?
Go ahead and sell, I’m buying as interest turns me on more than divvies. Yes, my bond portfolio is down in value. So what? The interest keeps coming. My home is up in value.
So what ? My enjoyment living here continues. I’ve been saving for years … just about ready to splurge in Treasuries. Yes, as you readers no doubt suspect, I’m a senior, senior!
Thank you brother Mark! As always, continue to learn much from you! We win some, we lose some. I have no problem doing either when it’s my decision, as all part of our life’s lessons. Just hate when I “follow” others off the cliff. Sometimes “action” is the toughest decision, but not acting will always get you dead 🤔
I know Mark, been watching Bitchute and many other sites that explain the takeover. If 1-1/10 of the information out there is true, we as a race are doomed. I came to my own conclusions after an employee of mine explained about the coming pandemic to me in the summer of 2019. Almost everything he said came true. That was from a stock boy who frequented the dark web. Absolutely insane laughable nonsense that actually came to light. At this point, there are millions of us that don’t need anymore information, but answers on how to organize and try to manage the current and coming instability. Any answers my friend?
Saw it. Impressive. I've seen a similar presentation from the Pfizer files, the ones they didn't want to release for 70 years, Naomi Wolf at Hillsdale College and 2500 scientists study the Pfizer files and find it was previously planned as a military weapon (covid).
Are the Chinese bad people? Well, they play by the rules, their rules. Put something out in the public space that is free use and they will take all you put out. We had a Chinese fellow living in the rooming house for a very short time.
Some bathrooms are shared, toilet paper is provided (we don't like our roomers using the NY Times) each shared bathroom includes a 3 roll holder and 4 loose rolls in the sink vanity. Suddenly the TP good for over a week vanished from all three shared bathrooms apart from normal pilferage. Thankfully the other roomers where quick to rat out the culprit and rightly so.
Exploring the Chinese fellows room we found quite a hoard of TP, lots of magazines and mail belong to other tenants, along with boxes of diner sourced jelly, butter, salt and pepper shakers, cutlery, ketchup and mustard, about 20 'Hate Has No Home' lawn signs, and a garden gnome that looked very much like the one the neighbor was missing. When cornered the Chinese fellow defended himself with; "If they don't want me to take, why they leave out!"
I figure his actions are the end result of the Cultural Revolution, the Chinese culture is now take what you can before someone else takes it, because someone else might, and it is best to beat them to it. Very much the same as the Chinese fishing fleet, and mining operations currently plundering waters and land in Africa.
Our Chinese fellow moved out that very day, first resisting claiming our actions were illegal. After hearing the garden gnome next door belongs to police chief's daughter. 'Should I call the chief and say were we found the gnome?' Just like that he was gone, less the toilet paper and the gnome.
Worked 29 years for Dow Corning and we caught Chinese thieves stealing technical reports, Twice. They were Chinese employees that worked in America. They had thousands of technical reports on their computers. I was a frequent and big user of technical reports in my career at Dow Corning and probably had less than 100 reports that I read during that time. Absolutely no use for thousands of reports, except to steal IP. A few years later China had made lesser cost silicon metal, not good enough to be computer grade, but good enough to take over the solar market. Dow Corning was the largest maker of silicon metal in the world with 40% of the world volume at the time. A market stolen from Dow Corning by China through Intellectual property theft, pure and simple. China access the top 40 engineers at Dow Corning and offered them jobs in China. They knew enough about Dow Corning to know who the top 40 silicon metal experts were within Dow Corning.
There's a Chinese company attempting to put Amazon out of business. Free shipping from China for all items, and surprisingly good quality of most items. Temu, is owned by the CCP, its purpose is to put all other manufacturers out of business.
I did some research into how China can ship to America for free. The Western world has one of the best postal and shipping networks on the planet. There's an international agreement to discount or provide free shipping to emerging economies in poor nations. China overall is a poor nation with only the elites having access to gain wealth. 96% of Chinese are below the poverty level. As such the CCP is given free shipping for its goods into USA and Europe all underwritten by our US Postal system. Last year shipping Chinese goods for free cost our US postal system $153 million dollars. That cost is passed on to the users of the US postal system.
Me thinks our Federal government has sold us out, setting the table for China to eat our lunch, while having us pick up the tab.
I'm not so sure, the rest of the tenant consist of 12 mostly older divorced men who don't need more than an old car and a place to rest their head and a mailing address. At this point in their life they've mostly learned the rules of engagement with life. Don't be greedy, and don't cause drama. Do they pilfer? Yes, but only to the normal degree associated with a tenant mentality.
The Chinese fellow has, yet to establish limits if left unchecked we need to chain down the toilet paper rolls, but I suspect he'd have taken the time to unroll the paper until it was spent.
He was stealing 21 rolls each occurrence. To put his into perspective the other tenants started to use the TP they had pilfer for such a time of shortage. The Chinese fellow had an extra 52 rolls. Not to mention what need did he have of garden gnome and 20 yard signs?
I don't know another Nation on the planet where the people are so greedy with free items in the public space. I've known some early Russian immigrants from the collapsed USSR to be this same but only for a short period of time. They learn America is the land of plenty no matter how much you steal it will be replaced so in fact there will never be a shortage especially if one has a work ethic. Let it be noted every one of those Russian friends is now a millionaire American and very concerned with the direction the government is taking. As one Russian business owner quipped; "There is no where to run to, America is the only Country in the world where work is valued and rewarded, and the little guy is equal in the eyes of the law". I don't think I agree with the last part, but I didn't live for 40 years in the USSR.
Robin Hood enters the tabernacle upwind with an inked feather. When the moon crest gravitates the murky waters, the solar waves ripple through the passage of East of Eden. Can the worm infiltrate the stemless apple?
The illusion within the illusion vibrates at the speed of sound, yet the noiseless supersonic alert fails to move the turtles tail beyond Capricorn. Cannot the feather sway along the coastal line? Only when the sense of nonsense makes sense will the mind liberate itself from nothing, until then, nothing for you is something.
Bill every generation needs something/someone to hate .. often it's directed at silly notions like were a virus (CORONA) escaped from .. besides destroying my favorite Beer company that was almost 100 years old, our hate did nothing. Yet is it is a known fact that Chinese and south east asian dealers are TARGET flooding Australia Canada and the US with Fentanyl as means of undermining and destroying our culture/youth to weaken our resolve to maintain what you have enjoyed for these past 80 years, The Order of the Allied Western Alliance. Yes this alliance has been perverted and undermined by our own inability to obey international laws/order but the political will to retain it was fairly constant for about 70 of those years. Then the real ROT set in and now our society is crumbling from within which is why you don't live in Baltimore or anywhere else in the USofA or why the brave warrior Dan went back to Laramie to do battle against the forces of destruction .. each of you have made choices that indicate that you recognised the decline of the American empire some many years ago yet somehow we all hoped that it could still be turned around or saved by leadership of an exceptional individual (ie Reagan) but none have appeared and the only one who had even a remote chance was Dr Ron Paul. So now you have nothing but OLD grandpa's who may have good intentions but no longer the charisma of charming fooling the hypnotic media addiction companies to sway them into any vortex of BELIEF, ie like what Milliel is trying to do in Argentina only he's just another POSER (ask Joel what this means?)
the bottom line is just as your article says MELTDOWN, only its a slow process as you often said and it seems like current events are all pointing to the collapse we've been waiting thirty or more years for .. salvation from the cataclysm by anyone or anything is no longer an option (except for divine intervention) and I doubt that the western powers have ingratiated themselves sufficiently to the heavenly world to suddenly intervene in what many would say are our just deserts ! so sit back and watch the show folks and enjoy this end of 2023 because nothing will be the same in 2024!
Nonsense, Altschule. The chinese are capitalists filling a market demand. (Which just happens to be a deadly, but pleasant [at first] and highly desirable poison. Crazy, huh? BTW, the market demand was started right here in the good 'ol USA, by allopathic legal drug pushers working in harmony with drug companies. So who is the worse bad guy here?)
Since a high in July 2020, the shares of Evergrande—the world's most indebted developer—have plummeted 99%, wiping out almost $47 billion in market value, owing to a housing slump and regulator crackdown on excessive liabilities. Xu remains under investigation at an undisclosed location.
sure Alex and their 'masters' are Xi Chen masters at manipulating the masses so as long as they can keep their "capitalists" peasants chasing the almighty Yuan $$ they are happy like pigs in a trough .. but like their materialist examples they know they can only keep the charade going as long as the $money continues to flow .. lets see what happens when their financial boat starts to spring a few more leaks .. especially as we the western alliance and their feeding partners at the international also sliding down the path of decay corruption and delusion .. the only thing the Chinese have caught up at is how to better control enforce their absolute control over the fifth estate. There is Nothing Free in China but hey we have 2 Chinese in our small family and several thousand living all around us .. maybe you need to talk to a few more of them to broaden your narrow view ..?
It reminded me of an experience I encountered in college when a deadly tornado hit Omaha in the late sixties. Three of us went to the basement we argued for about a minute which corner of the basement was the safest. Our decisions weren’t tested but that freight train seemed to be a couple of blocks away. Does anyone really know for sure what corner to chose?
See my comment below on China stealing Dow Corning intellectual property. Dow Corning was the leading silicon metal maker in the world with 40% of world volume. Silicon metal is what makes computer chips and solar panels. China stole flagrantly!

Excellent observation and very true IMO, Mr. Murray.
For a slightly modern update (though there is nothing wrong with the band War or their music):
"The world is a vampire;
sent to drain,
secret destroyers,
hold you up to the flames,
and what do I get,
for my pain,
betrayed desires,
and a piece of the game."

No, No, Alex! No sarcasm - I truly like Chinese chicken wings, pork fried rice and egg rolls. Usually order them every 3 or 4 weeks.
You forgot the tag my friend - /s. Some people here won't recognize what you did there...
Big question? What happens when Fiscal Doom Loop rises to 100% of Government Revenue?
Do these eggheads think it will just vanish or go down on its own?
PhD’s and Market Experts know the problem and continue to do nothing to fix it.
They all think it’s just “business as usual”.
It’s called Doom Loop for a reason.
Are the Chinese bad? Well I live in Richmond BC, a neighbour to Vancouver. My city has been overrun by Chinese (75%) who are making no attempt to assimilate or even speak our language.

Here’s the Microvoices podcast, https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/macro-voices/id1079172742?i=1000630332804 a discussion with Luke Gromen concerning the doom loop.
It reminded me of an experience I encountered in college when a deadly tornado hit Omaha in the late sixties. Three of us went to the basement we argued for about a minute which corner of the basement was the safest. Our decisions weren’t tested but that freight train seemed to be a couple of blocks away. Does anyone really know for sure what corner to chose?
Sure do look muy fugly y’all. Cheers.
Thanks Gone Fishin. Man is it difficult to dissect all the BS the elite and MSM throw at us. I do appreciate this BPR forum.
I'll have to check on your suggestions.
See my comment below on China stealing Dow Corning intellectual property. Dow Corning was the leading silicon metal maker in the world with 40% of world volume. Silicon metal is what makes computer chips and solar panels. China stole flagrantly!
Thanks, I have to watch that.

Does anyone have any tips on how to allocate a 401k with limited choices to be more defensive? I’ve historically used their target date fund options. The closest option for me seems to be a New York Life Anchor Stable Value Fund, but it largely tracks US Domestic and Foreign Bonds and only 5% cash.
