Who Is There?
Our government is dark, obscure,
Its crypto-motives are impure;
In Congress, all they know is “war!”
Or they don’t care.
For President, we have a cure --
It’s Diane Sare.

Yet another absolutely perfect example of how Western leaders don't understand China at all, and how that's ultimately detrimental... to them.
The "Plaza Accord" is pretty much universally seen in China as the textbook case of Western economic imperialism - the moment America weaponized currency policy to kneecap Japan. And, case in point, it's widely seen as the trigger for Japan's so-called "lost decades."
Plus there's of course the profound idiocy of telling the Chinese you want to treat them like the Japanese...
Explicitly saying that's your objective is just about the single best thing you can say to rally all of China against whatever it is you're proposing.

A biophysics grad was just detained under BC's Mental Health Act.
All based on a psychiatrist's opinion after observing him in a cafe.
He looked at him & said “I’m certifying you”
THAT’S ALL IT TOOK.
No warrant.
No on scene evaluation.
No psych evaluation.
No paperwork shown.
No chance to comply voluntarily.
Just because a psychiatrist saw him in a cafe.
Meanwhile, the same city has a documented drug addicts, where one person, has been
apprehended 79 times and is still on the street.
The government can grab a credentialed researcher off the road in 20 minutes but it can't keep a chronic offender out of the same intersection for more than a week?
What a joke.
I lost the election but we started a revolution. Keep the flame of LIBERTY burning my friends! I will continue to put People and Principles before Party. America First! 🇺🇸

BREAKING: the land where the “spaceport” is, in Nova Scotia, the company leases the land from the province for $13,500 per year.
They’re then turning around and leasing it to the federal government for $20 million a year.
For 10 years.
In addition, shortly after when the $200 million contract was announced, the chairman of the board sold 3 million shares in the company.
And in the past three months insiders have only sold shares.
The stock is up over 2295%, in 1 year.l and one of the Board of Directors, is the former Liberal Premier of Nova Scotia.
For context, a similar spaceport was built in Norway, where the government maintained 90% ownership, and the project was done for tens of millions of dollars cheaper.
Our government, on the other hand, is renting their own land for significantly more.
With zero ownership.
@NakedHedgie this was in response to jan 6 when the Democrats were in power?
Here's a case where the date adds valuable context.
Have we seen this under Trump 47? Without date, it seems like the resurfacing of this potantially older video created the impression that this was a recent event.
