@JeffBrownEnreal Actually, the numbering does continue with the end notes, so it does have 324 pages, all the way to Gratitudes.

@runrunblue 若道先生人在北美，應早就上了Joe Rogan的節目，甚至與漢考克一同接受訪問並出書和拍片。
要擊垮知識份子得先說服大眾，近年來，西方質疑學術界的人多，一旦西方民間接受了道老的見解（至少在古天文上），專家只能跳（象牙）塔。

@DanTalks1 I think the system of government and the level of prosperity matter a lot. China is very low-trust, but it appears homogenous and culturally cohesive. (It's too much to expect the Chinese government to execute the elite ruthlessly.)

[Asian Afro @mliu3]

@anderson_five99 @pegobry_en @DelusionPosting White people seemed to be in Africa/Middle E, too. I did mention earlier there were Chinese descriptions of early rulers with "double pupils", which confused a lot of Chinese who hadn't met white people. The separation must have happened later.

@anderson_five99 @pegobry_en @DelusionPosting Not trolling, but glad you are laughing instead of raging.

[Asian Afro @mliu3]

@anderson_five99 @pegobry_en @DelusionPosting Because China was not where it is now. There is research (not officially recognized) that suggests the original "China" is in West Africa. The "Chinese" then included non-Asians, and some rulers happened to be what we call African today.

[Asian Afro @mliu3]

@anderson_five99 @pegobry_en @DelusionPosting I'm not offended, it's just that saying all Chinese look alike is like a Chinese saying all Europeans look alike. We may share a phenotype, but we don't think we look that much alike & we think we can tell.

[Asian Afro @mliu3]

@anderson_five99 @pegobry_en @DelusionPosting I'm not? I'm Chinese.😆

[Asian Afro @mliu3]

@anderson_five99 @pegobry_en @DelusionPosting Some more examples.

[Asian Afro @mliu3]

@anderson_five99 @pegobry_en @DelusionPosting Not obvious physical differences, but a Chinese can often tell where another may be from (usually the province) by facial features, sometimes in combination with skin tone and height. As for "black", what do the faces on these old artifacts look like to you?

[Asian Afro @mliu3]

@pegobry_en @anderson_five99 @DelusionPosting Chinese actually look different from region to region. You’re right about the early rulers. Some were recorded as having had “double pupils” (重瞳), which referred to light-coloured eyes (eyes that look like they have one pupil inside another). The first rulers were likely black.

@DanTalks1 @RexSteps This kind of society encourages more personal responsibility, but you also see far more nepotism and corruption.

[Asian Afro @mliu3]

@DanTalks1 @RexSteps I'd say it's more about family honour. You a thief? The family reputation gets a black eye. Borrow too much & can't pay? Your family's on the hook. Kill someone? Your family gets driven out. Doesn't matter if you don't like your family. What you do reflects on them & vice versa.

[Asian Afro @mliu3]

@DanTalks1 @Sanilac_J I think you will be pleasantly surprised.

Bit more to it, it's more that the Biden admin and Janet Yellen COMPLETELY fucked the US by short dating treasury issuance (about $7T in short dated bills) and then spent huge $ boosting markets to try and juice the economy for the election.

So they need (AS I LITERALLY WROTE A HUGE ESSAY EXPLAINING) to force rates down to refinance the debt, which will require some form of YCC(yeild curve control) and QE (money printing). But in order to do that they need to force a reason to do so.

This will mean that interest rates that YOU have access to will rise, non tier1 assets will be repriced to 15%~ FCF yields, as that will force inflation higher and cash would be come king during this transition.

It's what HAS TO HAPPEN.

Word for word what I explained in Tech Dollar 2.

If you didn't read and weren't prepared, that's on you. I have told people for many months to read it every week.

Canada's Failing Government and Failing Media in a New Age of Geopolitics

In Canada, the media and politicians have shown a remarkable lack of knowledge surrounding our current geopolitical and economic situation. It appears to be a case of wilful ignorance.

The biggest upheaval in global politics, which has been building up for a decade or more, is now happening at breakneck speed.

Canada is ill prepared and will be ground to powder.

TRUMP

What is Trump on about? And how does Canada fit into this situation? It matters, as the US economy is 10X that of Canada. They have a military and a border force. We do not. Like it or not, they have an emerging plan for a new direction. Canada, on the other hand, remains dedicated to crushing itself to please European and Chinese globalists.

TRUMP AND CHINA
Trumps key area of policy interest is China. He correctly believes that China’s pursuit of “Unrestricted Warfare” (Chinas’ term) over the past 20 years or more has been successful. America has been deindustrialized. The Belt and Road Initiative has successfully moved into Africa, Eurasia, South America and North American. Brazil has a pro-China socialist government etc etc etc
China wants influence in the Arctic and has already put Chinese mining companies into Greenland. (Shenghe Resources/Kvanefjeld Project and General Nice and the Isua Project are but two examples)
Fentanyl, organized crime, espionage, commercial investments and real estate investments have been a major part of this activity.

TRUMP AND FENTANYL
Since 2018, more than 250,000 Americans have died from fentanyl overdoses. (Vietnam War = 58,000 dead). This does not include opiates - just fentanyl.
The fentanyl crisis is driven almost entirely by China and Mexican cartels. Canadians are heavily implicated in this, such as TD Bank doing organized money laundering for fentanyl profits of Mexican cartels. D Bank, a Big Five Canadian bank, helped kill 250,000 Americans. This is not a good plan for Canada. TD Bank was run by a Ugandan and the Canadian government has done nothing to go after TD Bank or the others for their role in killing Americans. Total state of denial on the part of Trudeau/Ford.
Interestingly enough, a conservative estimate based on Public Health Canada data suggests that between 35,000 and 40,000 Canadians have died from fentanyl-involved overdoses since 2016. (Canadian military deaths in WWII were around 45,000.)

TRUMP AND CANADA
Trump sees Canada (correctly) as having been thoroughly infiltrated by China. He sees Canada as a part of the problem and not a part of the solution. Remember that even the Canadian parliament has admitted there are a dozen or more MPs/Senators who have been compromised by China. Look at Vancouver or Toronto real estate. Read Sam Cooper’s book on China’s infiltration (Wilful Blindness: How A Network Of Narcos, Tycoons And Chinese Communist Party Agents Infiltrated The West )
Canada is also seen has having been grossly infiltrated by the Iranians, the Muslim Brotherhood and the Khalistanis. The “northern border” of the USA is now often seen as a national security threat rather than the world’s longest undefended border.

TRUMP AND EUROPE/NATO/UKRAINE
Trump wants to clear the decks before making the big push against China. This means figuring out what to do with Nato/Ukraine -and by extension what to do with Europe. Trump has consistently argued since 2016 that the USA will no longer pay the lion’s share of Nato spending in Europe. He has consistently stated that Ukraine is a European problem and Europe needs to fix it.
He will find a way to do one of two things. Either get the war stopped or turn it into a European problem only.

TRUMP AND RUSSIA AND CHINA
As stated above, Trump’s biggest interest is China. Under Biden, the “unthinkable” occurred when Russia and China became clearly aligned with each other. Preventing this has been a corner stone project of American diplomacy since the end of WW Two.
Trump will find a way to drive a wedge back between China and Russia – it is in the interests of both America and Europe that this occurs. This means, for one thing, getting the war in Ukraine stopped and off the table.

CANADA IS FAILING
Like it or not, Canada is now at the center of a global geopolitical struggle between the USA and China, with Russia and Europe in play on the sidelines. The Arctic is a key battleground. Energy is a key battle ground. Strategic minerals and rare earth minerals are a battleground. Trade and manufacturing are now seen as tools of the struggle.
Canada’s natural resources and geographic location place us in a brilliant position to help ourselves and to help Europe and the USA. Instead, we have madly maintained anti-energy and anti-mining policies aimed at "saving the world" while impoverishing Canada. Canada has a strong anti-energy policy while multiple countries have addressed us – wanting to buy the energy we refuse to develop.
Canadian politicians seem to feel insulting Americans is a policy option – while refusing to even acknowledge the changing world around us.
Canada now has virtually no ability to protect its own “sovereignty” in the north. Trump will not stand by while China and Russia move further into the Arctic while Canada does nothing.

TRUDEAU/CARNEY/FORD/FREELAND
The politics of division has been the hallmark of Trudeau and his “post nationalist” policy orientation. He has been blindly followed by others such as Freeland and Ford.
Forner Deputy Prime Minister/Finance Minister Freeland recently suggested that Canada should form an alliance with France and the UK so as to be in a position to threaten America with nuclear weapons. Having closely followed political and security affairs for over forty years, this might be the most stupid and dangerous statement ever made by a Canadian. Threatening America with a nuclear attack while standing in Canada is a complex form of suicide. Presumably, US national security officials will see this as the mindless ranting of a clueless ex-political figure – yet Freeland may yet play a role in the next Liberal government of Carney.

Without going into details, Ford is equally clueless. A former hashish dealer for seven years with a violent family past, he still sees the world through the lens of a jumped-up corner boy. But he is now in the big leagues and shows no awareness of the powers he is challenging. Ontario and Canada will get hurt.
As for Carney – he is Trudeau 2.0 – but arguably worse.

CANADA AND THE USA
The options for Canada to re-emerge into something which could be prosperous and beneficial exist. Unfortunately, no one in Canada from any party seems to be aware we are caught up in the wheels of a massive meat grinder.
The media in Canada are of little help. Paid by the government and driven by "advocacy journalism" the vast majority of our social justice journalists do not even have the intelligence to ask the right questions anymore. They are cluess (a few exceptions)

We are in trouble.

(But don’t worry. The Canadian Forces have tampons in the men’s washroom and we banned plastic straws. That will fix stuff.)
