You know - looking up the history of China is enlightening. It was the Bolsheviks that brought communism to China. Crazy. The point of the time was to eliminate Kings - because they wielded more power than the Church. So Priests shunned their ragged robes for robes of splendor so they would give the impression that they were equal to Kings. Then they made the pointy hat to make them taller than Kings and Kings crowns. It was all about perception. For Power.

Quoting from your 2nd post, I've been reading John Whiteheads publications for years now, and although I like a lot of what he says, for myself, there are no delusions as to where I stand with the Government and their Social Credit System. I copied a part of that post that my family and I have already lived through, but those who even admitted to Constitutional Violations and Felony crimes in their own "Police Reports" and "CPS Reports". They do not need to hide their crimes against humanity because the Federal Government will not prosecute these murderers of mothers, murderers of fathers, profane and perjured persons. I would love to see Donald Trump and Pam Bondi make them answerable in a forum that is neutral from their geographic area, what are the odds?

Here's the paragraphs I copied:

"Mass roundups. Raids. Indefinite detentions in concentration camps. Martial law. The erosion of habeas corpus protections. The suspension of the Constitution, at least for select segments of the population. A hierarchy of rights, contingent on whether you belong to a favored political class.

This is what it looks like when the government makes itself the arbiter of who is deserving of rights and who isn’t."

All of the last two paragraphs happened to my family and I on January 29th, 2003. They decided to act without considering anything outside of their own narcissistic pathological bent of Mormonism. If I don't trust illusionist called "Lawyers" maybe it's because they have not been entirely truthful as to who their father is.

I don’t blame China for not trusting anything Trump and NATO say. They have been caught lying constantly.

Seriously?! China is totalitarian and USA not?! I don't see freedom of speech, freedom of the actions and freedom of own body in USA, even less in Australia. But yes, the Chinese live better, have more savings, have social medical system, a roof over their heads and do not starve to death. Whereas in the USA entire streets are populated with poor people in tens and drug addicts. For the end I would say: is no democracy, only totalitarian systems where people live better or worse. In the USA, EU, or Australia no honey and milk flowing.

Communist totalitarian China? Come on. China is even more capitalist than America. There are growing accounts of people struggling to survive in China. We could see China collapsing soon.

Well, this John Hartford song popped in my head before I read this article. Seems appropriate often.

First, I don't believe Xi Jinping is ready to abandon the 'Golden Goose' (aka the US Economy), and second where in the world would China put their returning US dollars? The EU debt has been avoided like the plague. Xi Jingping sees how they already confiscated Russia's holdings. It's not going in Mexican banks, Cuba or the South American economy... sure the Silk Road investments will continue but the truth of the matter is no other economy can absorb that type of capital. China has been selling US bonds for quite some time, as has Japan. Gold cannot absorb that much capital and cryptocurrency is about as safe as the US dollar (actually less). Martin Armstrong has done extensive work on government debt, capital moves and the history of money. The US dollar is still the best "house in the neighborhood," and $100 bills are accepted just about anywhere.

If China attacks Taiwan or makes a run at our banks, just freeze their assets -- that will get the attention of wealthy leaders in the CCP with half a brain or a scrap of decency...would they sacrifice their personal riches and peace/safety for their families for someone who would replace them in an instant, without a single twinge of loyalty or conscience? Sure, he will have the 'loyalty' of all the nut-jobs, sociopaths, and losers who have no other options, but the rest will be seriously wondering if he is worth starting WWIII for.

This is the fatal flaw of all totalitarian regimes -- beyond their obvious Godlessness and immorality.

They cannot engender true loyalty or win 'hearts and minds' from their 'followers', aside from the sick puppies, as they only rule thru greed and fear, and limited national pride. There is the danger of them lashing out to mobilize their side but the rest of the world has been far kinder to them then vice versa, so insiders with wisdom know this will only lead to their eventual demise, ala Hitler's Germany. The problem is, how much damage gets done until then? It took six years of fighting to eventually stop Hitler and the Nazis but my guess is it would be much shorter for the Chinese to address it themselves...the CCP may be Godless but they're not stupid...I hope.

Sounds like somebody is ripe for a coup, and internal sources are always the best solution -- not outside interference. A group of wise, intelligent leaders with vision beyond the current hoopla and propaganda, and with much to lose, needs to start organizing and take matters into their hands...politically or otherwise...sort of a reverse Gorbachev situation.

Im glad you liked the lyrics. Try listening to the song. Sort of bluegrass inspired, if you know that style of music.
