The Dem Party has already fallen off the cliff and more hits are coming (Diplomatic Immunity movement of virus, Big Pharma payoffs, child trafficking, etc…)

The Democrat Party is for all intents and purposes over. Haiti is on the horizon as well and that will destroy their black vote that they spent 60+ years cultivating.

Amazon relocating 1,800 employees out of downtown Seattle due to spiking crime

Over the past few years, the area has seen increased open air drug use, fencing of stolen goods, shootings, carjackings and other violent crimes. Since Feb. 21, there have been three shootings, two stabbings and a carjacking, leading to an increase in businesses shutting down in the area.

Did Russia empower Iran’s attack on Erbil? - analysis

Iran is counting on the US being afraid of “war” whiel Russia wants to return Ukraine to its “near abroad.” Iran wants to ride the Russian train as far as it can.

Iran’s attack on Erbil using a dozen large ballistic missiles is a major escalation. The missiles targets key areas, such as a new US Consulate being built. They are a message that Iran can do a lot more damage.

Had Iran wanted to, it could have aimed more at the airport runways or targeted civilian areas more heavily. It’s clear Iran was sending a message of its power more than wanting to wreak total havoc.

Iran’s message may be linked to the breakdown in Iran talks. Russia has attempted to use the Iran talks to squeeze more concessions from the US regarding sanctions on Russia. This has angered Iran because Tehran wants sanctions relief, and it now finds itself being waylaid by Russia at the last moment.

But Iran is also looking to Russia for lessons on how to engage with the West. Iran is learning that Russia has used an invasion to demonstrate that there is international impunity to warmongering and attacks.

The large ballistic-missile barrage on Erbil is not the first time Iran used ballistic missiles like this. It also targeted Kurdish dissidents in 2018 in Koya in northern Iraq’s Kurdistan Region. It also used ballistic missiles in 2020 against the US facility at Ain al-Asad air base in response to the US killing of Iran IRGC commander Qasem Soleimani.

This means the use of these missiles is not new or unprecedented. Iran has used missiles and drones to target Saudi Arabia, and it has also sent missile technology to the Houthis in Yemen for use against Saudi Arabia.

So what is new with the March 13, 2022, attack? The large number of missiles and heavy payload on them was likely a warm-up for larger attacks. Iran wants to showcase its precision and abilities with these types of missiles. Tehran also wants to see if the US will respond.

The US has many voices that are part of the chorus who argue against American escalation in Ukraine and don’t want “war” with Iran or Russia. Russia has used these voices as well, because Russia wants impunity to destroy Ukraine.

Russia counts on the West to be afraid of war – particularly the narrative that any confrontation with Russia is “World War III” – even though there is no evidence that Russia can afford conflict with the West. So Russia sells the “war, war” narrative just as Iran sold the “Iran deal or war” narrative in 2015.

Today, Iran wants to ride the “Russian narrative” bandwagon and pretend that if the US “escalates” by retaliating, then there could be war, even though Iran and Russia are the aggressors.

IN THE past, the US has retaliated when pro-Iranian militias killed US or coalition forces in Iraq. The US often retaliated against Iranian-backed militias in Syria. This is the calculus Iran has. It knows the US could retaliate in Syria – a kind of “everything goes” country where the US can operate with more impunity.

The US would be reticent to retaliate in Iraq because it doesn’t want to violate “Iraqi sovereignty.” The US will also be cautious about targeting Iran, even though the missiles came from Iran. Tehran wants to see if the US backs down; then it has a blank check to use more missiles from Iran to target the US, Israel, Saudi Arabia, the Gulf and others.

Iran already has used the Houthis to target the UAE, and it had Iraq-based militias target the UAE and Saudi Arabia. Iran also used drones to target Israel from Iran last March.

So Iran is upping the deadly game, coming out from the shadows and using drones and missiles directly fired from Iran toward other countries in the region. Iran also targeted Saudi Arabia in September 2019. There was no retaliation. So Iran now thinks it may be able to try to drive the US out of Erbil in northern Iraq.

Iran is watching closely what happens in Russia and Ukraine in this regard. While the US has warned Russia of a tough response about the invasion, the White House also puts out messaging about not wanting any conflict with Russia.

Russia now has said it will target supplies of arms going into Ukraine. Russia is testing the West’s resolve. The US may be backing down.

Meanwhile, Iran sees that the US wants the Iran deal back, and Tehran wants to squeeze Washington to come to terms. This means Iran is using the Ukraine crisis but also browbeating Russia regarding the Iran deal and using the threat of more deadly attacks to try to get something from the US and see if the US will back down or retaliate.

EXCLUSIVE: FBI Documents Uncovered that Tie Americans to “Neo-Nazi” Azov Battalion in Ukraine

FBI documents back up Putin’s claims that the Azov Battalion in Ukraine is indeed a Neo-Nazi group.

Putin claimed one of the reasons that Russia invaded Ukraine was to eliminate the Nazis in that country. Many in the media wondered what he was talking about. We identified the Azov battalion some time ago and even reported that some elements of that group showed up on Jan 6 at the Capitol. This group was shown on American TV and the announcers had no idea who they were, claiming these guys were getting ready for the Russian invasion.

We also recently reported that the Azov Battalion is a Nazi group in Ukraine. We acknowledged that many Americans had never heard of the Azov Battalion but it was indeed a group in Ukraine. Let’s also acknowledge that the Nazis and the Russians hated each other in World War II.

TRENDING: 'Possibly Covid Related' - Hailey Bieber Hospitalized with 'Stroke-Like Symptoms' From Blood Clot in her Brain

We have uncovered more information connecting the Azov Battalion to Neo-Nazis. In an FBI criminal complaint in October 2018, the FBI accused four men in Los Angeles of being neo-nazis. These men were accused of essentially being behind riots in the US.

(Note that the current FBI will never do the same for Antifa or BLM members even though they killed people and caused billions of damage in 2020.)

In the filing (page 8) the FBI notes that RAM members (the group the accused were associated with) the FBI labels the Azoz Battalion, who these guys met with, as Neo-Nazis.

On August 1, 2018, an Instagram user “tagged” Right Brand Clothing’s account in a post containing a photograph of RAM members during their trip to Germany, Ukraine, and Italy meeting with Olena Semenyaka, the leader of the International Department for the National Corps, which is a political party in the Ukraine that was founded in 2016 out of a regiment of the Ukranian military called the Azov Battalion. Based on my training and experience, I know that the Azov Battalion is a paramilitary unit of the Ukranian National Guard which is known for its association with neo-Nazi ideology and use of Nazi symbolism, and which is believed to have participated in training and radicalizing United States-based white supremacy organizations.

RAM Rioting Rundo Et Al Complaint 133873 by Jim Hoft on Scribd

We noted that 2 of the RAM members were at Charlottesville. One member got into an altercation with a woman who looks to be from Antifa.

We also know that at least one of those identified by the FBI was in Ukraine and was filmed with one member of the Neo-Nazi group in Ukraine, a woman called Olena Semenayaka.

See the composite below.

What is the deal with Biden’s Department of Justice, that it will identify Ukrainian Neo-Nazis but ignores them on Jan 6? Why does it target Americans connected to these groups, many of who are set up, but ignores many of the criminals in Antifa and BLM who terrorized this country in 2020?

Russian military free about 300 civilians, monks taken hostage by nationalists in Ukraine

In the village of Nikolskoye, the militants of the Aidar national battalion equipped firing positions right on the territory of the Orthodox Holy Assumption Nikolo-Vasilyevsky monastery

MOSCOW, March 13. /TASS/. Russia’s armed forces released about 300 citizens and monks who were held hostage by militants of the national battalion Aidar in the Orthodox Holy Dormition Nikolo-Vasilyevsky monastery in the village of Nikolskoye, Defense Ministry Spokesman Igor Konashenkov told reporters on Sunday.

"In the village of Nikolskoye, the militants of the Aidar national battalion equipped firing positions right on the territory of the Orthodox Holy Assumption Nikolo-Vasilyevsky monastery and held hostage about 300 civilians and monks. When this village was liberated by Russian units, some of the nationalists were killed, the rest were scattered. The hostages and buildings of the monastery were not damaged," Konashenkov said.

Russian President Vladimir Putin said in a televised address on February 24 that in response to a request by the heads of the Donbass republics he had made a decision to carry out a special military operation in order to protect people of the Donbass republics. The Russian leader stressed that Moscow had no plans of occupying Ukrainian territories.

When clarifying the developments unfolding, the Russian Defense Ministry reassured that Russian troops are not targeting Ukrainian cities, but are limited to surgically striking and incapacitating Ukrainian military infrastructure. There are no threats whatsoever to the civilian population.

Russia Seeing Humanitarian Crisis of ‘Catastrophic’ Levels as Far-Right Ukrainians Take Hostages

A Russian general pointed to the southeastern Ukrainian port city of Mariupol as a flashpoint, asserting that far-right forces have been firing at those trying to flee the city through humanitarian corridors. Hundreds of thousands of people, including many foreign nationals, are effectively being held hostage, the general stated.

MOSCOW (Sputnik) - Over 6,900 foreign nationals are being held by Ukrainian far-right forces and are being used as human shields in combat, the head of the Russian National Defense Control Center announced on Saturday.

"More than 6,900 citizens from 16 foreign countries are still being held hostage as a ‘human shield’ by Ukrainian neo-Nazis," reported Russian General Mikhail Mizintsev.

Foreign crews of over 50 foreign-flagged vessels are stranded in Ukrainian seaports, the general added.

Foreign citizens hail from Azerbaijan, Greece, Georgia, Egypt, India, Lebanon, Syria, Turkey, the Philippines and Jamaica, among others. Moscow has reported that it is in contact with their respective diplomatic missions.

Mizintsev added that some cities in Ukraine are facing a humanitarian crisis of catastrophic proportions as the situation continues to worsen across the country.

“The humanitarian situation in Ukraine, unfortunately, continues to deteriorate and is of catastrophic proportions in some cities. Nationalist armed forces have been planting bombs in residential neighborhoods, destroying bridges and roads,” the Russian military general stated.

The top military representative also noted that, on March 12, for humanitarian purposes, Russia had provided humanitarian corridors in the direction of Kiev, Chernigov, Sumy, Kharkov and Mariupol, for the eighth time, beginning at 10 am, local time.

Kiev has rejected multiple attempts by the Kremlin to conduct humanitarian evacuations of civilians into Russia from the southeastern Ukrainian port of Mariupol.

"Kiev has not yet authorized any of humanitarian corridors to Russia, once again showing how much the authorities are indifferent to their own people," Mizintsev announced.

The Russian general additionally accused troops in Ukraine of violating humanitarian corridors while "hunting" those who flee eastward. The Ukrainian national security agency - the SBU - has, according to the Russian military general, been tracking phone calls and conducting mass searches and arrests to stop people from traveling to Russia.

"People are being forced to find excuses for seeking protection in Russia," Mizintsev stated.

Some 450 civilians heading toward the bordering Russian region of Kursk, from Ukraine’s Sumy region, had their transports seized and were driven away from the border, according to Mizintsev's report.

Russia as evacuated at least 9,787 people from conflict zones across Ukraine and the Donetsk and Lugansk people’s republics in the past 24 hours, according to the Kremlin. The total number of evacuees has topped 231,000, which includes 51,996 children.

Moscow, Mizintsev continued, has been contacted by over 2.6 million civilians and foreigners stranded in Ukraine in hopes of leaving the conflict-torn country, with a reported 19,963 pleas for help over the past 24 hours alone.

Russian Forces Down Ukrainian Mi-24 Helicopter, Three UAVs, Including Bayraktar Drone, MoD Says

The Russian Armed Forces are continuing to conduct the special operation in Ukraine, which was ordered by President Vladimir Putin on 24 February following a request from the Donetsk and Lugansk People's Republics (DPR and LPR) to protect them.

Russia’s military shot down one Ukrainian Mi-24 (NATO reporting name: Hind) helicopter and three unmanned aerial vehicles, including a Turkish-made Bayraktar drone, the Russian Defence Ministry reported. All four aircraft were downed in one day, the ministry clarified.

Defence Ministry spokesman Igor Konashenkov stated that Russian forces have destroyed a total of 3,593 military objects in Ukraine over the course of the special military operation, which was launched on 24 February. He clarified that Russian forces have downed 61 Ukrainian helicopters and 126 drones, in addition to 1,159 tanks and other armoured vehicles.

Forces of the Lugansk People's Republic (LPR) have moved deeper into territory controlled by Kiev's forces, seizing Vozgorye, Molodezhnoe, and parts of Popasnaya, Konashenkov said. He added that LPR troops are approaching the city of Severodonetsk.

Russian forces, in turn, seized Novoandreevka and Kirillovka, drawing near to a group of settlements held by Ukrainian forces – Novomayorskoye, Pavlovka, Nikolskoye, Vladimirovka, and Blagodatnoye.

President Vladimir Putin ordered Russian troops to launch a military operation in Ukraine following a request for help from the Donetsk and Lugansk People's Republics (DPR and LPR), also citing the need to protect the two republics that have been suffering from constant shelling by Ukrainian forces. Putin described the goals of the special operation as the demilitarisation and de-Nazification of Ukraine.

Russian drone eliminates Ukrainian multiple rocket launcher from altitude of 3,000 meters

In the special military operation the drones are being used for reconnaissance and fire adjustment and for attacking targets

MOSCOW, March 13. /TASS/. An unmanned aerial vehicle of Russia’s aerospace force has eliminated a Ukrainian multiple rocket launcher, the Russian Defense Ministry said in a news release on Sunday.

"The multiple rocket launcher was destroyed by an unmanned aerial vehicle of Russia’s Aerospace Force with a smart weapon from an altitude of more than 3,000 meters," the Defense Ministry said.

In the special military operation the drones are being used for reconnaissance and fire adjustment and for attacking targets.

Russian President Vladimir Putin on February 24 launched a special military operation in Ukraine following a request for assistance from the leaders of the Donbass republics. He said Moscow had no plans for an occupation of Ukrainian territories. The sole purpose is the country’s demilitarization and denazification. The Russian Defense Ministry says its forces are not attacking cities. Their focus is entirely on military infrastructures. The civilian population is not in danger.

So Biden gets installed as a puppet President. Ukraine assumes that they have control of the White House and starts bombing Russian people in the break away states and provoking Russia. When Russia responds Ukraine calls upon the White House for aid and throwing the world into ww3 per cabal plan.

But Trump devolved government so Biden cannot engage. NATO now understands that the USA won't back them either, so they don't engage. Russia cleans Ukraine and goes home and/or keeps the region stable so that Xi can go ahead elsewhere. Soros screams for Putin & Xi's head.

Russian armed forces destroyed 3,687 Ukrainian military facilities — Defense Ministry

According to Defense Ministry Spokesman Igor Konashenkov, 99 aircraft, 128 unmanned aerial vehicles, 1,194 tanks and other armored combat vehicles, 121 multiple rocket launchers, 443 field artillery pieces and mortars, 991 units of special military vehicles were destroyed

MOSCOW, March 13. /TASS/. During the special operation, the Russian armed forces disabled 3,687 military infrastructure facilities of Ukraine, Defense Ministry Spokesman Igor Konashenkov said on Sunday.

"In total, 3,687 military infrastructure facilities of Ukraine were disabled during the operation," he said.

According to him, 99 aircraft, 128 unmanned aerial vehicles, 1,194 tanks and other armored combat vehicles, 121 multiple rocket launchers, 443 field artillery pieces and mortars, 991 units of special military vehicles were destroyed.

Russian President Vladimir Putin said in a televised address on February 24 that in response to a request by the heads of the Donbass republics he had made a decision to carry out a special military operation in order to protect people "who have been suffering from abuse and genocide by the Kiev regime for eight years." The Russian leader stressed that Moscow had no plans of occupying Ukrainian territories.

When clarifying the developments unfolding, the Russian Defense Ministry reassured that Russian troops are not targeting Ukrainian cities, but are limited to surgically striking and incapacitating Ukrainian military infrastructure. There are no threats whatsoever to the civilian population.

Russia has stronger nerves than EU for energy standoff – Moscow

Moscow has a greater safety margin than Brussels, a Russian Foreign Ministry official has said

Moscow is ready for a vigorous standoff in the energy sector if the EU goes ahead with its plans to abandon Russian gas, oil and coal, a high-ranking Foreign Ministry official has said.

“Russia remains a reliable supplier [of energy resources]; a world-class guarantor of energy security,” Nikolay Kobrinets, who heads the Department of European Cooperation, told Interfax on Saturday.

“We value this reputation, but we are ready for a harsh standoff in the energy sector, if necessary,” he said.

The EU “will definitely not benefit” from such confrontation because “we [Russia] have a greater margin of safety and stronger nerves,” insisted the Foreign Ministry official.

Earlier this week, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen complained that the EU was “too dependent on Russian fossil fuels and, in particular, gas.” She promised to present a plan by mid-May that would allow the bloc to cease using Russian fossil fuels by 2027 by optimizing and decarbonizing the energy market.

Von der Leyen’s statement was made amid an ongoing Russian offensive in Ukraine, which was met with widespread international condemnation and draconian sanctions against Moscow. The Kremlin insists that it had to send troops into the neighboring country to “demilitarize” and “denazify” the Kiev government, and to prevent what it called the “genocide” perpetrated by Ukraine against civilians in the breakaway republics of Donetsk and Lugansk.

Kobrinets noted that, according to the European Commission’s own data, the EU gets 45% of gas, 25% of oil and 45% of coal from Russia. “So Brussels has to understand its vulnerability,” he pointed out.

However, judging by the statements coming from the bloc, it intends to achieve energy independence from Russia “at any price,” he said. And this price “will have to be paid not by the top EU bureaucrats, but by ordinary European taxpayers.”

According to Kobrinets, the plans by Brussels “aren’t too rational” from an economic point of view. “There’s already turbulence on the world energy markets, if not panic.”

“It’s unknown how high the prices will skyrocket. But it’s already clear that the EU would have to pay triple prices for gas, oil and electricity, if not more. But it’s their choice,” he said.

Yuan deposits replace dollar and euro in Russian banks

The state lender is offering maximum interest rates for Chinese currency deposits to attract customers

With Russia now officially cut off from both the US dollar and the euro, the state-owned VTB Bank has offered its clientele the opportunity to open Chinese yuan savings accounts that yield a maximum interest rate of 8%. The country’s second-biggest bank has been hit by the Western sanctions aimed at the total financial isolation of Russia over its war in Ukraine.

“In light of the rising dollar and euro exchange rates, many clients are showing interest in investing in other currencies, and the yuan is one of the most affordable and promising options for investing funds,” the bank said in a statement.

Existing customers are reportedly able to open deposits remotely on VTB Online with a minimum amount of 100 yuan ($16). At VTB branches, they can deposit a minimum of 500 yuan.

According to the bank, the latest offer will be the most profitable alternative to deposits in other foreign currencies. The annual yield on a three-month deposit is 8% in dollars and 7% in euros.

Meanwhile, a six-month ruble deposit currently offers an annual percentage yield of 21%. VTB said that, over the past week, customers had invested over a trillion rubles ($15 billion) in traditional savings products.

Russian financial institutions have been placed under increasing pressure after Ukraine-related sanctions were introduced. The banks have had to turn to China to start using its UnionPay system for credit cards, after Visa and Mastercard announced the suspension of operations in the country.

“Some Russian banks can’t get access to other currencies, so yuan is probably the best other alternative,” Khoon Goh, head of Asia research at the Australia & New Zealand Banking Group, told Bloomberg.

“Still, the easiest way for Russia to raise yuan would be to receive yuan via trades. Russian banks’ clients who are exporters could sell to China and receive renminbi as payment.”

India Is Mulling Rupee-Ruble Payments System For Trade With Russia

India abstained from voting on the March United Nations (UN) General Assembly Resolution demanding an end to Russian offensive in Ukraine (General Assembly resolution demands end to Russian offensive in Ukraine).

Since its Independence, India has tried to steer a neutral course between the U.S. and Russia (and previously, the USSR). During the 1950s, India’s first prime minister, Jawaharlal Nehru, was a prime architect behind the Non-Aligned Movement, under which developing countries tried to pursue their national interests without binding themselves to either the U.S. or Soviet bloc. India, Indonesia, and Yugoslavia were mainstays of that movement, which today includes 120 member states, 18 observer states, and 10 international organisations.

Following the collapse of the Soviet Union, India developed closer relations with the United States. Most recently, under prime minister Narendra Modi, India’s policy tilted even more decisively in a pro-U.S. direction. Modi and Trump shared a strong affinity, and Modi even travelled to the U.S, to host massive rallies intended to galvanize Indian Americans in support of Trump. See this BBC account for further details, What did the Trump-Modi ‘bromance’ achieve?

During the last several months, several considerations have prompted the Modi government to rethink the wisdom of putting all its eggs in the U.S. basket. Instead, India is returning to a more balanced approach, assessing its national interests vis-a-vis those of other countries and acting accordingly.

Ukraine to insist in talks with Russia on presidents' meeting —Zelensky

Ukrainian officials negotiating with their Russian counterparts are to ensure direct talks between the countries' leaders that could lead to bringing peace, Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky said late on Sunday.

The next round of the talks on the war in Ukraine between the two neighbors is scheduled for early Monday, via video links. Although officials have been giving upbeat assessments lately, positive results of the negotiations are yet to come. Read full story

Ukraine has repeatedly called for direct talks between Zelensky and Russian President Vladimir Putin, pointing to the Russian leader as the one making all final decisions.

"Our delegation has a clear task — to do everything to ensure a meeting of the presidents. The meeting that I am sure people are waiting for," Zelensky said in his daily video address.

"Obviously this is a difficult story. A hard path. But this path is needed. And our goal is for Ukraine to get the necessary result in this struggle, in this negotiation work. Necessary for peace. And for security."

Everything you care about, every good idea that you have that you cannot accomplish yourself, every current event you want to have a different outcome, pray and meditate about it. Hivemind is at full power now - if you can think and dream it, even if you can't make it happen, someone else in the hive will pick it up and make it happen if they have the resources and ability. We are all even more connected now and the more positive you stay and the more you believe in the ideas and your desires that you have for the future, the more the hivemind can access and accomplish those things.

This whole unity thing means more than you can possibly imagine. On a spiritual level things are happening that have never happened before in our history. In fact the spiritual things that are happening between and among us right now, today, are the things that the dark and evil 'invisible enemy' has been trying to stop for centuries by keeping us in poverty and fear. Our founding fathers pulled a quick one on the Free Masons and the Satanic demons who roam this realm feeding off us like farm animals.

Pray. Meditate. Believe in yourself and your creativity to invent a world of light. It will happen. Nothing Can Stop It. It's God's will and his gift to us for faith in him to manifest what is good for us and our children.

Fiat Currencies Are Going To "Fail Spectacularly": Lawrence Lepard

Submitted by QTR's Fringe Finance

Friend of Fringe Finance Lawrence Lepard released his most recent investor letter a few weeks ago with his updated take on the monetary miasma spreading across the globe.

Larry had joined me for several interviews last year and I believe him to truly be one of the muted voices that the investing community would be better off for considering. He’s the type of voice that gets little coverage in the mainstream media, which, in my opinion, makes him someone worth listening to twice as closely.

Larry was kind enough to allow me to share his thoughts heading into 2022.

Before Russia invaded Ukraine, Larry predicted that a “crack up boom” could be on its way and also offered his take on gold, inflation, monetary policy, bitcoin, fiscal policy, the ongoing supply chain crunch, and much, much more. That analysis is included.

Now, the invasion of Ukraine has helped catalyze a number of his predicted scenarios.

Here are several Fringe Finance excerpts from Larry’s thoughts on the Ukraine invasion and the markets heading into 2022, from prior to the invasion.

Russia Invading Ukraine Has Caused A ‘Monetary Earthquake’

What just happened in the last two weeks is enormously important and misunderstood by many investors.

The Russian invasion of Ukraine and the corresponding Western sanctions and seizure of Russian FX reserves are nothing short of a monetary earthquake. The last comparable event was Nixon's abandonment of the gold standard in 1971.

Russia, with the backing and support of China, just told the world that it is no longer going to sell its oil, gas and wheat for Western currencies which are programmed to debase.

The West in its response just said to all countries around the world: “If you have foreign exchange reserves, held in our system, they are no longer safe if we disagree with your politics.”

It is similar to what the Canadians did when they moved to seize the bank accounts of Canadians who had demonstrated support for the truckers without due process of law.

Both of these political moves are blatant advertisements for what I call "non state controlled money without counterparty risk", like gold and bitcoin. If governments can weaponize their money when they do not like what you are doing, what is the natural defense?

Gold Will Rip Higher Because Of What Russia Is Doing

The US Dollar has been the reserve currency of the world since WW II and the Bretton Woods agreement. This has given the US an enormous advantage and subsidy from the rest of the world because everyone else needs to produce goods and services to obtain dollars and the US can simply produce dollars at no cost by printing them.

Putin is now cast in the role of Charles de Gaulle who complained about the "exorbitant privilege" of the US with its dollar hegemony. As we all know, de Gaulle demanded gold in exchange for France's US dollar FX surpluses and this outflow forced Nixon to close the gold window.

Recall that post this event, gold went from $35 per ounce to $800 per ounce (23x). Russia's move will lead to a similar move in favor of gold. Putin could see that the US fiscal and monetary situation was becoming untenable and he decided to use this to create an existential threat to the US and the world financial system.

He undoubtedly knows that the West has artificially suppressed the price of gold and that is why he has been building his gold reserves steadily for the past 20 years.

Putin just shot "King Dollar" in the head.

We can see it in the financial markets, as the price of everything commodity related is going up relentlessly in dollar terms.

Russia is long commodities, long gold and doesn't need fiat currency. His debt to GDP ratio is low and taxes are low. If the world financial markets collapse on a relative basis, the position of Russia will be improved significantly. This is what I believe he is playing for. If investors do not recognize this they will be caught wrong footed as I believe many are today.

The implications for investors are quite clear. None of us own enough gold, real assets or commodities. Fiat currencies are going to fail spectacularly, and soon, in my opinion.

Before Russia invaded Ukraine, Larry predicted that a “crack up boom” could be on its way and also offered his take on gold, inflation, monetary policy, bitcoin, fiscal policy, the ongoing supply chain crunch, and much, much more.

Now, the invasion of Ukraine has likely catalyzed a number of his scenarios.

A Crack Up Boom Could Be Coming

The bottom line is that the monetary system is exhibiting many of the early characteristics of a crack-up boom.

China May Have Won WWIII Without Firing A Shot

Note: I didn't write this. This comes from the subreddit Superstonk. I thought you guys might like it.

Hi guys.

TLDR: Xi Jinping is now in total control of the entirety of the world's capital markets.

Three things I'll ask you to remember. 1 - I was a professional historical researcher for a very long time for some fairly high-profile authors and documentary makers. 2 - I work in TV telling stories that are meant to be entertaining whilst existing in the realms of possibility. 3 - I've been writing this for a little while, and the situation is VERY fluid, so the most recent elements can date rapidly.

This below is a paranoid gonzo theory-based endgame OpEd based on data from credible sources, and should in no way be taken as financial advice.

China May Have Won World War 3 Without Firing a Shot - Part 1 of 2

If there’s one nation on earth that truly understands the long game, it’s China. I mean truly understands the long game. China has existed as a relatively defined territory with a unified cultural identity for more than 3600 years, a period in which Greece was pre-democratic, Sparta hadn’t yet been founded, and storytellers were conjuring the labours of Heracles and Noah.

Perhaps we can think of a nation not in geopolitical terms, but as a loose collective who share a unity of purpose, a narrative history blended from myth, lore, legend, art, born of ancient, tribal affiliations, epochs of trade and cultural transactions, and brought together by a portmanteau language and urban sprawl, being governed by their own kind who conduct diplomatic relations with foreign governments on their behalf. These loose collectives will either develop to a point where their purpose achieves greater singularity – war, trade, manufacturing – and their identity strengthens, or they will wither or fracture. Winners have strong leaders. Strong leaders have foresight. Foresight breeds dynasties. And dynasties have a tendency to think eternalistically. Obviously, most are wrong, a misapprehension usually ending with a spectacular, megadeath-scenario implosion.

Considered the founders of China, the thing that made the Shang emperors good at ruling was their ability to appear equalitarian without ever having to concern themselves with the fripperies of democracy. They appointed councillors and bureaucrats based on their abilities to administer government effectively, they liked to diversify, they fostered an academic, liberal, free-thinking culture, making astonishing early advances in astronomy and mathematics, whilst wholeheartedly embracing the Sopranos diplomatic philosophy of ‘Come heavy or not at all’. The general consensus was not to fuck with them, and most who ignored the consensus came to a gnarly ending.

Crucially, they permitted freedom of religion and held no misguided belief in the divine right of kings. They knew that empires needed bloodlines, and any weak link in the genetic chain was, in all likelihood, game over. Following a highly productive 500-or-so-years, it was the Shang emperors’ slack religious tolerance and all-consuming concern with external enemies that was their undoing. Right under their noses, the Zhou Estate, loyal citizens for centuries, codified a singular religious doctrine and gave the Shang empire pretty much the first beating they ever took at the Battle of Muye with the purpose of unifying China under the ‘Mandate of Heaven’. But by retaining all of the Shang’s advances, they now had the tools, the smarts, the military hardware and they’d excised the one frail weakness, humanity, by installing new and improved emperors, now with extra heavenly clout. Now with no need for the populace to worry about which faith to follow, it was the Zhou Dynasty’s turn to became the longest reigning in Chinese history.. So far. Thus began the waxing and waning of Chinese dynasties. Warrior, Intellectual, Merchant, Chaos. But the people remained unified.

>>15858707

Becoming Agriphobic

Fast forward about 3500 years, and China was going through one of its waning cycles. Chaos, the final dynastic stage, was hitting all the peak values. To say that the Chinese were being tested would be radically understating the depth of ill-feeling and unrest. The Japanese had not yet morphed into their current wise-but-humble, industrious iteration and were making general Chinese misery their sole mission in life. A military coup in 1911 had toppled the last dynasty, the Qing, and established the Republic of China, but even this new, more egalitarian identity did not break the simmering tension. World War 1 raised the temperature further, seeing Japan move to permanently colonise the mainland, demanding control of everything from the economy to the judiciary. Diplomatic interventions even came from the US and UK – and consider the stunningly shady shit you had to be into to earn that during this period – but the Chinese government was so deeply in debt to Japan that they were forced to agree to many of Japan’s brutal ‘Twenty-One Demands’. The end of what the Chinese call their ‘Century of Humiliation’ was the build-up to a second world war. Many aren’t aware that more than 15 million Chinese died during their war with Japan and what would become World War 2, a shocking number only surpassed by the horror unfolding in the Soviet Union.

A minor skirmish between Chinese and Japanese troops in 1937 sparked a tinderbox fuelled by a nationally felt sense of injustice, penury, and usury. China, however, was entirely unable to fund a war with their neighbours, and by 1938 was near total collapse. With 100 million refugees and the nation racked by famine, the Nationalist and Communist parties set aside their own feuding and met to discuss the fate of China. This conference produced an agreement that few foreign leaders could fathom: There would be no surrender to Japan. Outgunned, ill-equipped, starving, and with no way of knowing that another conflict would distract Japan from their mission of total subjugation, they retreated inland to continue a hit-and-run guerrilla campaign. Think on this; if the Chinese had done the rational thing and surrendered in 1938, the Indian and Soviet theatres would have had another front, with a well-armed, well-trained, well-funded, 600,000-strong aggressor radically changing the dynamic. The war could have been lengthened considerably. Or there could have been a different outcome entirely. Unity of purpose.

The Embiggening of Small Men

Throughout this period, two men were starting to emerge as figureheads from the intractable melee. Deng Xiaoping and Mao Zedong had been leading the Chinese Communist Party and their army during a state of virtually constant civil war with the Nationalist Party. While the Japanese invasion made them temporary and uneasy allies, it also levelled the playing field, exhausting much of the Nationalist leadership’s cash reserves and manpower. Zedong had been busily establishing a staunch following in the Chinese countryside, even forming his own breakaway state, Jiangxi Soviet, as a fuck you to the government and a masthead for his politics. As World War 2 concluded decisively in the Pacific with the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the Communists and Nationalists wasted no time in celebrating and returned to their vicious civil war. Proxy funding by the Soviets and the Americans began in earnest, with cash predictably distributed. Manchuria, 1948, and the Nationalists went into the Battle of Liaohsi as odds-on favourites. But fate had other ideas, and shit started to go rapidly downhill for the government. The Communists, more experienced in rural guerrilla tactics, divided then surrounded their opponents, before surgically cutting off their supply lines. Tian’anmen Square, 1949, and now-Chairman Mao proclaimed the war won and a new nation founded; the People’sRepublic of China. The remaining Nationalists and many of their sympathisers fled to Taiwan, declaring the island the (new) Republic of China, and the two states remain, to this day, officially at war.

Chairman Mao attempted various economic jump-starts during his tenure, but he’d perhaps spent too long as a guerrilla, secreted in the undergrowth, knife between teeth, and seemed much more content with plotting wars, vengeance, and purges than with forming any cohesive plans for reform. Following the destructive and expensive stalemate in Korea, Mao’s first attempt, ‘The Great Leap Forward’, was a masterplan to industrialise China; Factories, Not Farms! Unfortunately, the ‘not farms’ part was never adequately replaced, and famine once again began to take hold. One of the Party’s most dependable men, however, remained Deng Xiaoping, and Xiaoping was a considerably safer pair of macroeconomic hands. Just as China was recovering from the 5-year famine, Zedong again went looking for aggravation, sparking off the Cultural Revolution; a violent, paranoid purge that Zedong finally had to send in his own troops to quell. The bloodshed was so frenzied and pervasive that no accurate records exist of the death toll, but most estimates are in the millions. Despite his unfathomably brutal efforts to regain total control of the Communist Party, senior officials were forced to break it to the Great Helmsman that the 10-year revolution had failed to make the country into the shining Communist utopia that he had planned. Entirely foreseeably, famine, poverty, and further economic damage followed.

But by the end of the Revolution, the Chairman was in desperately poor health, his heart failing, and the elite had begun to furtively glance around for a successor. See, there are no hard-and-fast rules to this process in China. Sometimes it’s about securing yourself the most Chairs of the most box-office committees – the Military Commission, the State Council, the Standing Committee, etc – sometimes it’s about building coalitions of Party support, sometimes it’s about assembling the most guys with guns willing to do your bidding. There’s not really even an official title that comes with running China. It’s like playing 3D chess against Deep Blue while really, really high. You’ve gotta be be-yond the top of your game to win.

When Chairman Mao shuffled off this mortal coil, he went with the blood of countless millions on his hands, much of it entirely non-metaphorical. Xiaoping had been a faithful soldier, leading the Party’s forces in countless campaigns, gun in hand. But Zedong had long suspected that Deng’s politics were, if not quite centrist, then centre-left at best. Their complex relationship saw Deng twice purged from the party and imprisoned during the Revolution before rising again to become Secretary-General and Vice Premier under Mao, the man who had ordered his jailing. Mao had tapped up Hua Gofeng to succeed him when he died, but Hua was nothing if not unimaginative. He promised more Mao, the same Mao, a continuation of Mao, even dressing and cutting his hair to look like the boss. He bought himself a short spell in charge by removing the generally disliked radical clique, the ‘Gang of Four’, although this was entirely accidental. Naturally, Hua was then accused of colluding with a new cabal, the inventively titled ‘Little Gang of Four’, who were later charged with failing to combat the original Gang of Four… Yadda, yadda, yadda. The problem with totalitarianism is it can get cyclical. The problem with Hua was he lacked charisma.

Deng Xiaoping, however, was an altogether more astute and interesting player. He outmanoeuvred Hua and was appointed leader, supposedly bringing clear ideas for collectivism and introducing mechanisms that would prevent one-man cults of personality. The landscape was, as usual, not a hard read, especially for an old hand: the people were sick of famine, poverty, purges, and possibly even communism. He very quickly deployed his ‘Boluan Fanzheng’ program, literally translating as ‘eliminate chaos and return to normal’, then set about re-drafting the Chinese Constitution to demote Maoism and elevate economic pragmatism. He embarked on a global charm offensive, in 1979 becoming the first Chinese leader to be invited to the White House by Carter, and while in the US he showed himself to be a world-class charming bastard, sowing further distrust in the Soviets and sealing the deal to get American troops out of Taiwan. He scored tours of Ford and Boeing factories, inspecting the production lines closely. After a lifetime in the killing fields, he was entirely unfazed by an assassination attempt in Texas by a knife-wielding Klansman. Amateur hour. One can only assume that protests by both Maoists and Nationalists drew a wry smile.

Back home, Deng reformed education, reopened schools and founded the ‘863 Program’ to educate China’s brightest in science and technology. But his first big announcement to the world was the ‘opening up’ of China. The government would begin relaxing things, selling off some of the vast state-owned portfolio, eventually welcoming equity investment, private manufacturing, even banking. Perhaps, if records are ever published or witnesses could speak freely, Deng will be viewed as simply another emperor who learned lessons from his predecessor to bolster his personal grip on power. But it was now the 80s, and the rest of the world cared only for cocaine, money, and breakdancing.

Looks like the citizens of those countries in the EU are about to be SHOWN. It's a shame. But the peoples should have seen what happened with the refugees. Especially the Germans when the first year (2014), within a few months even, on Silvester (New Years Eve) when over 20 women were raped in the square around the big church (the dome) in Cologne. Yep over 20 women in the open air and the city government shut it down. No investigations, not a single arrest. Every one of the rapes was by gangs of middle easterners. The German people should have done something then.

they didn't, and things only got worse.

Dead Red Redemption

So, after the dull, mechanical early stages, such as agricultural reform, were complete, China was wide open, and there seemed to onlookers to be no organised system of market oversight or regulation, just a naïve assemblage of insular, ageing political idealogues. Suffice to say that gleeful hands were being rubbed vigorously together in the Western financial hubs. This was virgin territory, ripe to be taught the fundamentals of capitalism by slick, hard-nosed Wall Street guys with money to spend and tough lessons to impart. If anybody could knock this backward agrarian economy into shape, it was the City and Wall Street. With Western lead in the economic pencil, the early 80s saw China do three consecutive years of double-digit GDP growth, and in ’88, Ping An Insurance and The China Merchants Bank were founded as joint-stock entities. Corporate finance had arrived. In 1990, Deng reopened the Shanghai Stock Exchange and founded the Shenzhen Exchange. The problem now was archaic State-run industries lagging behind the private sector, garnering unwelcome attention. Government subsidies began to flood in to plug the inefficiencies and pin back inflation.

1997 proved a pivotal year for China for a multitude of reasons: Deng Xiaoping died, Hong Kong was returned to Chinese control, and a huge proportion of the remaining state-run concerns began to be sold off. Shocked military grandees were told by Beijing that even the Army could no longer run businesses. By 2005, cracks had begun to appear. The ardent reformers had grown old and faded and the private investors had cut away the dead wood from former State concerns, leaving hundreds of thousands who could legitimately blame their unemployment on capitalism and foreign actors.. Again. Unaffordable property prices and stark wage inequalities were beginning to foment unrest and, as per the playbook, the leadership was expertly reading the national mood, paying heed to what had gone before.

Heavyweight Champions

2003 saw Hu Jintau get the corner office, and one of Deng’s distinctly conservative successor’s most successful policies was the to import a ‘National Champions’ program. Although late to the game, the boilerplate model got some typically Chinese upgrades. Ostensibly conceived to compete with foreign megacap corporations, the chosen companies would operate for-profit whilst benefiting from bespoke, protectionist benefits that only an autocratic national government could bestow. The less buzzworthy inclusions are outfits like the China Petrochemical Corporation, COFCO, CRRC Group, so on, so forth. Do some digging if you’re interested, but, for the purposes of this OpEd, suffice to say that, as an example, one of the hundreds of companies run by CRRC Group is CRRC itself. They make trains. In fact, they make more trains than anyone else, and they make more money making trains than anyone else. And acronyms you’ve never heard of becoming the biggest and wealthiest in the world at what they do is typical of China’s National Champions. What were formerly monolithic, dusty, State concerns, propped up by handouts and functioning only to keep unemployment low and cough sickly fuck yous to the capitalists, were now titanic international superpowers, owning assets globally that cannot be precisely, or even vaguely estimated, because.. secrets.

In 2012-ish, Hu Jintau tagged in Xi Jinping, an even more stringently conservative leader, and China’s National Champions evolved again. And these you’ll know well, even if you’re unaware of their champion status or the exact nature of the benefits of which they’re in receipt. Alibaba rocketed from $20 billion revenue in 2012 to $717 billion in 2021. Tencent went from $3.3 billion in 2011 to $68 billion in 2021. Huawei leaped from $146 billion in ’09 to $891 billion in ‘20. Because here you have to re-clarify ‘National Champions’. Suddenly it wasn’t the companies or sectors or industries that were chosen – been there, done that, locked it down, lessons learned – rather, it was the people. Whereas previous eras might have seen them purged as intellectuals or right-ists, these young men had travelled, observed, learned, then returned home to seek investment. And the government now had a lot of money to invest. Some were already loyal to the Party, others could be madeloyal with a drop of startup capital. The millionaires began to pile up in China. Then the billionaires.

pt 5

>>15858722

After Jintau’s first draft, Xi’s polish saw China overtake Japan in 2010 to become the world’s second-largest economy. This year they took top spot for foreign direct investment from the US and are predicted to be the largest economy by 2028. After proving during the Shanghai equities collapse in 2015 that it could deftly and decisively handle a major wobble, the Chinese government seemed to be the gift that kept on giving. Gross inflows during the first quarter of 2021 totalled $590.1 billion, the highest comparable figure since 2010. $551 billion in Yuan bonds are held by foreign institutions and investors, with just 10% of government bonds in foreign hands.

C’est la VIE

Then a strange thing happened, kind of out of nowhere. The Chinese government began to increase oversight and regulation of a relatively small but highly valuable industry; online tuition. Middle class parents springing for an extra few hours of science lessons a week for their kids seems like an improbable spark for a financial crisis, but much like the skirmish with the Japanese at Marco Polo Bridge in 1937, the government rapidly escalated a minor event into something that could seemingly only end in their ignominious defeat. This time, however, the Chinese government’s war chests were chock full and the leverage was all theirs.

Something many Western fund managers had been speed-reading to the point of wilful blindness in Chinese investment prospectuses for nearly a decade was the Variable Interest Entity structure. Your Chinese company would register a holding company in, say, the Cayman Islands, then enter into a binding contract with its parent company in China. Legit US Depository Share structure. SEC compliant. So far, so good. But like any good scheme, the ROI on these equities and derivatives as China boomed was beyond all reasonable expectations, and, stress test passed, billions more flooded in.

The problem began with Huawei, and this problem boiled down to it being illegal under Chinese law for foreigners to own shares in companies whose business is technology and/or data. Which, when you think about it, is every company. The second problem was that the ‘binding contracts’ that the foreign offshoots selling shares in US and European markets had with their parent companies were legally ‘problematic’ to say the least. A not-very-deep dive into this second problem – which you would think is why banks have lawyers – revealed that foreign owners of Chinese stock had no legal right to attempt to petition or influence the boards of these companies. Simply put; no voting. And whether it be related to environmental issues, child labour, or corporate branding, being a nuisance – or ‘activist’ in today’s parlance – is the God-given right of allshareholders. Worse than this, the investors didn’t even own the underlying shares at all. I’m not talking about historically here. I’m talking about right now. Think on this; if you hold shares in a Chinese company that were purchased on US exchanges, this is on terms that are anathema to the theory of equities markets at the most fundamental level imaginable. Unless you bought on the Shanghai or Shenzhen Exchanges, you have little recourse. And even if you did.. Well, you still have very little recourse. But don’t sell Nio just because of that! The returns might get even more spectacular!

Wall Street Stunned By Zoltan Pozsar’s Latest Prediction Of What Comes Next

https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/wall-street-stunned-zoltan-pozsars-latest-prediction-what-comes-next

Bitcoin and cryptocurrency prices are on a tear this week.

The bitcoin price rocketed up past $40,000, gaining 11.7% from its lowest March point. Other major cryptos also rose but trailed in bitcoin’s wake. Ethereum’s price rose 7.7%, BNB 4.8%, cardano 2.4%, XRP 2.7%, and solana 3.3% over the week

Cryptos jumped after Biden signed the long-awaited (and dreaded) executive order, which came out more pro-crypto than expected. The directive calls on federal agencies to coordinate crypto oversight, but it didn’t lay out any specific regulations.

In fact, policymakers appear to recognize digital assets’ role in monetary innovation. As Coindesk reported: “one part of the order will direct the Treasury Department to create a report on the “future of money,” including how the current financial system might not meet consumer needs.”

Biden’s crypto agenda seems to back the bold claim of Zoltan Pozsar, global head of short-term interest rate strategy at the giant investment bank Credit Suisse that “we are witnessing the birth of Bretton Woods III – a new world (monetary) order.”

And that bitcoin may largely benefit from it.

The reason Huawei were making headlines was lawyers who didn’t work for people trying to sell you financial products started to make the point that, since 2012-ish, Chinese companies have been required by ‘law’ to share any data that the government or security services requested. Sanctions, lobbying, bellowing, and word salad from the then-President of the US somehow translated into a great deal of pause for thought worldwide. The UK government conceded that CGN, the state-owned China General Nuclear Power Company, had happily stepped forward when the British government were courting China for investment a mere 4 years previously, writing cheques to the tune of $4.3 billion dollars for two nuclear power stations in England, and with plans to build more. Not only that, Huawei had positioned itself as the only global player who could deliver the 5G network in the UK. Again, lawyers who neither worked for government nor people who sold financial products began to uncover shadowy articles in Xi’s ‘renegotiations’ with business that could essentially negate any contractual clause in any of these agreements in any of the countries that they had been agreed in. Not only had the Chinese bought access to vast swathes of worldwide data traffic, some posited that pursuing a contractual dispute could end in both telecoms and power blackouts. If you hold the view as a free marketeer that the central role of government is to keep the utilities on and businesses business-ing, then that responsibility had been cheerfully handed to avowed communists with very murky motives. France, Australia, Sweden, and others quickly followed suit in locking out Huawei.

Another very interesting case study during this period is Luckin Coffee. Could there be a finer example of a US corporate success story springing forth from Jinping’s new China? Luckin raised billions selling depository shares on the NASDAQ from their registered office in – you guessed it – the Cayman Islands. Money goes in. More money comes out. Stress test passed with flying colours. Then, without word-one being said in China, Luckin revealed in an SEC filing that they were investigating an alleged $300 million fraud by a former executive involving the inflated reporting of revenue and GP. Shares plunged 80%, wiping $3 billion from the value in the US. Then it turned out that pretty much the entire board of Luckin Coffee and their family members had been pottering around New York securing vast loans against the US valuation. The Chairman alone had margin loans of over HALF A BILLION DOLLARS secured against his shares. He defaulted, and when Goldman Sachs disposed of the collateral shares, they did so at about 10% of their face value. Irrelevant, really, as Luckin’s US lawyers filed for bankruptcy protection shortly afterwards. Credit Suisse’s Singapore outfit was also on the hook for a substantial amount, so these were not babes in the wood that were being suckered in.

But the interesting thing here is the fallout, or really the lack of it. Luckin had taken the money and built a thriving business exclusively in China with a mission statement of toppling Starbucks, rapidly expanding to 4500 outlets. After the ‘scandal’, Luckin shrank just as rapidly.. to about 3900 outlets. They’re launching new products and are now successfully franchising the brand. Their customer base is not less loyal, but more loyal, and they built this base by aggressively giving out coupons for free and heavily discounted beverages to undercut the US giant entirely paid for by US investors. Ordering coffee is done exclusively through the Luckin app, and with news of the US meltdown – and for ‘meltdown’, read massive criminal conspiracy to defraud – app downloads rocketed into the millions. Big data.

pt 7

>>15858725

Critically, the investigation into the fraud was entirely internal, the Chinese government expressing zero interest, despite it allegedly having occurred entirely within their jurisdiction. After a court hearing in – you guessed it – the Caribbean, the remaining shares were quietly transferred back to Beijing-based Centurium Capital – who expressed their profound shock – and the company cracked on. Chinese financial journalists combing social media detected more than a hint of smug sarcasm at the riotous success of the corporate smash and grab. The stress test wasn’t Wall Street testing China. It was China testing Wall Street.

The Black Hole of Opportunities

With Huawei executives still traipsing from studio to studio trying to execute a PR plan they’d clearly had no training in and exhibit charm they were clearly never born with, some began to wonder whether Deng may have made a slicker job of calming world jitters than his successors. After reading the room for a while, Xi Jinping stood, made eye contact with every single Chief Executive worldwide, then began to calmly and patiently explain the concept of ‘capitalism with Chinese characteristics’ by taking a wrecking ball to his own economy. In he stepped to quite deliberately dynamite Jack Ma’s $38 billion Ant IPO, which had $3 trillion in orders. In he stepped to quite deliberately eviscerate the perfectly viable Didi, fresh from a $68 billion valuation. Macau, a great deal more valuable than Las Vegas in terms of revenue and a taxation goldmine, saw $18 billion wiped from casino stocks as the government vowed harsh new regulations and licensing laws. More regulatory, tax, and social clampdowns came thick and fast. Kids are now restricted to two hours of videogames a week by law, tanking associated stocks, including the vast Chinese interests. Children now have to login through police fucking databases to play Fortnite. And you know who designed and manages that system? The nice people at Tencent. Who, by the way, also own a huge chunk of Fortnite that we decadent Westerners allow to rot our children’s synapses for a lot longer than 2 hours a week. And you know what? I spend a lot more time talking seasons and skins with my kids than discussing authoritarian regimes and investing for their futures. Pow. One more in the win column for Xi. Private education companies – patient zero, the original ‘skirmish’ – were told to re-register as non-profits or face ‘de-listing’, wiping billions from going concerns like TAL and Yuantiku, fresh from raising those billions in the US to inflate values which were then used as collateral for loans from US banks. See how the game works?

Here’s the rub; the Chinese government restricts videogames for children, whilst at the same time making extra online schooling free. What is any right-minded parent going to make their child do with all that extra free time and bandwidth? Yup. This was Deng’s 863 Program for the TikTok generation. But at the same time, the companies who implement and monitor this are buying up vast amounts of shares in US videogame developers to keep our kids quiet, happy, and stupid.

Then there’s Ali-fucking-baba. Apart from openly facilitating the sale and distribution of the estimated 70% of counterfeited goods worldwide that originate in China, Jack Ma, one of the world’s richest Communist Party members is alpha testing his own system of social security. Supposed to be up and running last year, the Chinese government is mashing together data like your shopping habits, friends, credit score, criminal record, and fingerprints to generate a user ID, “a single scoring system assessing Chinese citizens’ economic and social reputations, which can affect travel allowance, school choices, work, etc.” The number assigned to you – not your name, you no longer have a name – can then be entered into a national database that will produce a forensically detailed record of your entire existence and how fucked you are because of it. If that doesn’t sound like some cold-blooded Orwellian shit to you, then you, my friend, might be a sociopath and/or a Risk Manager. Due to Covid, status unknown, but Jack Ma is not shy in talking about his belief that data capture by Alibaba can help his government ‘deter crime’.. With the exception of counterfeiters, probably.

Why did Xi kill the Ant deal? Ma had the temerity to suggest, in a roundabout fashion, that ‘regulators’ – the PolitBuro – might be a little old to really understand youth markets. Perhaps without even realising how radically he’d gone off the reservation, Ma was summoned and forced to watch as Jinping put a gun to his newborn’s head and coolly pulled the trigger. $3 TRILLION in orders. The IPO’s suspension is estimated to have personally cost Ma $3 billion; a loyal Party member, a servant of the cause. Don’t try and bend the spoon, Jack. That’s impossible. Instead, realise the new fucking truth: you, money, the whole fucking market, is just a tool, a means to an end in a much larger plan. Now get the fuck out of my office.

What did Didi do wrong? In all likelihood, not much. In fact, they probably did everything right. They took tens of billions of dollars from the likes of Uber and SoftBank, with the stroke of genius being that, having already cost the Japanese firm $4 billion, SoftBank then also dumped their shares in Uber to cover the losses on Didi. But wait, there’s more! Uber had handed over their entire Chinese business in exchange for equity in Didi, with the mainstream media crowing that Jinping was punishing Chinese companies for US IPOs. Communists so stooopid LOL. Look at the facts; lots more money, no more Uber. Ride hailing apps. Biiiiig fuckin data.

Tencent? Well, their expertise is writing the adaptive algorithms that power Chinese state censorship, the Great Firewall that’s scanning this and everything else written about China on Reddit, amongst some other very shady shit. But they’ve also been tasked with playing a different string on the zither entirely. CEO Ma Huateng’s job is to spot the next generation. He’s scouted and executed strategic investments in what some estimate is anything from 800 to 1000 startups, each and every one of them now in hock to the government. Jack Ma was on stage with a mic, hyping the crowd, Xinping’s Flavor Flav. Didi CEO, Cheng Wei, is ex-Alibaba, a company man and expert administrator. Huateng’s the dude in the skinny tie and Raybans, cross-legged in a leather armchair, smoking, watching. Nouveau champions, nouveau riche.

And then there’s Evergrande. The real estate behemoth is now insolvent, has suspended trading of bonds, and is expected to default imminently on many of its vast obligations. This is where contagion can burst like a supernova, as there are nearly 300 institutions on the hook for Evergrande’s debt, including BlackRock, UBS, Ashmore, and Legal & General. The majority of those are Western banks and pension funds, but literally no financial institution worldwide is outside the event horizon. Notwithstanding Evergrande’s debts being $300 billion, a staggering 2% of China’s GDP, the company also has a permanent staff of 200,000 and hires over 3.5 million contractors a year, so this outfit alone will be responsible for some sizeable blips in not just China’s but the world’s employment numbers. But here’s the thing; Xi Jinping very, very deliberately caused this by enacting corporate debt restrictions for real estate companies that he knew full-well many of China’s largest developers were already trading irretrievably in excess of. As of now, the government, possibly needing a sit-down and a protein shake after their sustained bloodletting, remain impassive, saying there will be no bailout of the stricken corporation, even though it will likely crater the entire housing market; residential and commercial. And this must be stated loudly; the Chinese were really getting into buying off-plan, so the first money to evaporate will be the deposits of hard-working individuals, not corporate slush funds. If CPCG and SOHO China are the next dominos to fall, particularly after SOHO switched from a build-to-sell to a build-to-hold strategy – and how unlucky is that timing, right? – this could mean their huge portfolios of real estate, much of it ultra-prime, could potentially be rendered worthless.

Midterms: Kamala Harris Tells Democratic Voters 'They Got What They Ordered'

Among the promises that the Biden-Harris team rolled out during their 2020 White House campaign were tackling the spread of coronavirus, increasing the distribution of vaccines, creating paths to citizenship for migrants, and improving the country's infrastructure, a majority of which were combined in the "Build Back Better" bill.

During a Democratic National Committee (DNC) meeting on Saturday, US Vice President Kamala Harris outlined the tasks that she wants her fellow Democrats to accomplish ahead of the looming midterms. One of these tasks is to remind voters that the Democratic administration, according to Harris, has largely kept its campaign promises.

"Our task is to show people that, in many ways, they got what they ordered", Harris told the meeting.

On Thursday, her boss, President Joe Biden, urged his fellow Democrats to be proud of the administration's accomplishments.

"We have a record – a record to be proud of; an agenda that addresses the biggest concerns here in America, in people's lives; the message that resonates", Biden said at the Washington Hilton Hotel Thursday. "Now what we have to do is we have to sell it with confidence, clarity, conviction, and repetition".
