Previously I posted that for all the talk of deporting all the illegal aliens that were allowed to swarm into the country, it won’t happen and only the criminals, gang members and other undesirables would be booted out. So far, this is the case.

The reason I gave for this is that these new people are wanted as employees of the factories and businesses that are expected to start up as a result of the tariff increases, which encourage investors to build new factories here and produce the goods here that have been produced overseas, primarily in China. This is happening now, investment is pouring in.

Something else has been added to this story. Expatriate Chinese experts on China’s economy and politics who now live here in the US are telling us that they think China’s population has collapsed and that China’s claim of 1.4 billion people is utterly false. They’re saying it’s actually between 300 million and 400 million, in other words, about what ours is. There’s currently no way to prove this but it is inferred using satellite data mostly, because China’s stopped giving out any statistics that might possibly indicate their true population size. They’re hiding the statistics of their population decline, which of course lends a lot of credence to what those expatriate Chinese experts are saying.

Allowing in all those many millions of people into the US in a short period of time is causing problems, but not any that are too much to deal with, probably primarily because our government has been doling out so much financial support to those who are unemployed. That angered many Americans but now, doing so makes sense. It’s kept them here and out of trouble, and out of jails. We just might now have parity in population, or more so in regards to our work force because of China’s One Child policy that was enforced for decades.

If you watch any current news documentary on China’s internal problems, they’re major. Factories closing or barely staying in business with drastically reduced workers employed, mass worker demonstrations because they’re not getting paid, some for months now, mass demonstrations demanding Xi step down. China’s economy is in terrible shape and rapidly getting worse. Trump’s plans are working. The end of Xi’s reign more and more appears imminent, and who knows, possibly even the end of that government.

This is only speculation, but… if Xi goes and the communist government is replaced with a democratic republic of sorts, there could arise a whole new political/economic alliance between the USA and China. Russia would find themselves with no choice but to join it and other nations would follow suit.

Perhaps enough other nations that a global government would form. Is this the plan?

The price of gold shot up $100 an ounce this morning at the same time that India launched a massive rocket barrage into Pakistan, targeting terrorist enclaves. Pakistan has threatened nuclear retaliation against an attack by India, and India was very careful not to attack anything military of Pakistan’s. At this point, Pakistan has no legitimate excuse to escalate this situation, that is the result of the murder of 25 citizens of India while in Kashmir, by Pakistani terrorists.

This has undoubtedly been instigated by China. The Chinese would love to see India and Pakistan in a full blown war, even a nuclear war, as China is in deep economic trouble while India is rapidly rising, and the two are bitter enemies with equally large populations.

The fact that gold shot up so much, so fast, is a good indicator that this conflict may grow. Especially if gold continues to rise. China has been buying up a lot of gold lately, in obvious preparation for the war they hope to cause and profit from. Let’s hope the rest of the world is on to them and steps back from this trap.

PRESIDENT POPE

Pres. Trump posted this AI mockup of him as Pope on his Truth Social and has apparently pissed off every Catholic on the planet if all the screaming media are right.

Exactly why he’d do this is truly beyond me. I think it’s hilarious, but I’m not Catholic. Even so, I know that this would have to really upset the Catholics, and I can’t understand why he’d do this, because he has to know it upsets them, too. At least, if he didn’t before he posted this, he sure does now.

In moving our manufacturing to third world nations, we enriched those nations to the point where they mostly have become first world nations and we looked for poorer people to keep working for less than Americans, and finally settled mostly on China because they employ slave labor in a totalitarian system and force people to work cheaply to keep the trade imbalance going, while they keep growing their military for a future conflict with us. In other words, we brought all this current global mess upon ourselves.

Children who are unwanted are usually also unloved, and grow up never having experienced being loved, so even if they want children of their own, they never love them simply because they don’t know how. I find that this area of psychology appears either unexplored or neglected, as the field seems to be just now waking up to this problem. It is a problem as nearly all the violence and crime in the world is caused by unwanted and unloved children.

The US and Ukraine have signed an agreement to develop Ukraine’s natural resources as a way to pay back the money spent by the USA on Ukraine’s defense against the Russian invasion and continued war, and it’s expected to be ratified by the Ukraine government in a few days. This gives the US a big stake in Ukraine, much like owning all the mineral rights in Texas. All that oil. A big problem is that Putin and Zelensky both refuse to back off of their demands in order for this war to end and Ukraine to rebuild. Since it’s Russia who’s the invader, it seems only fair that it should be Russia that loses the war to Ukraine, and now that the US has essentially signed on as a co-injured party, this just may happen. I’m willing to bet that there’s something the US can do, economically, militarily or one of a variety of other ways, to rock or shock Russia into giving this venture up. Perhaps the sudden death of Vlad Putin and a bunch of his associates?

Of great interest, to me at least, is that Russia has sided against China and for India in the growing Pakistan-Kashmir conflict. China has supported Russia in the war in Ukraine and now the US is directly involved, while maintaining a crushing tariff war against China.

According to Vlad Putin himself, there’s over 8000 mosques in Russia. There’s also about 25 million Muslims, about 10% of the total population. Their numbers are growing so fast that soon they’ll dominate the government. Which makes me wonder what they’ll do with all those nuclear weapons, once they do.

According to Robert F. Kennedy Jr., three huge corporations, Blackrock, Vanguard and State Street are buying up all the single family homes they can acquire in the USA and Canada. These corporations are tied to the WEF, so it’s proposed that they’ll end up making private home ownership impossible, forcing everyone to rent from them, or so JFK Jr. says. That’s a really high stack of manure to try to spread as the value of all the single family homes in America alone is estimated at fifty trillion dollars and even if you do have everyone renting from you, that’s like just one landlord in New York City compared to the thousands now, and so what? You’re still paying too much rent. But if this is for real, it could change the demographics of an area, they could rent only to Italian immigrants or Harvard graduates with Sociology degrees, for instance, or those of a particular political outlook. Everyone wants to be King, so I guess you can’t blame them for trying.

Elon Musk has left D.O.G.E. in no doubt capable hands and has returned to managing his industrial empire. I wonder if this fact and the arrests of so many key-scraper miscreants will move these self-righteous Leftists to attacking a new target to be jailed for, and since doing damage surreptitiously is their common theme and there’s no Vote For Trump signs on lawns to rip up, they may start getting desperate. In fact this is a perfect time to start instigating mass demonstrations. Summer heat is arriving, time for riots again, especially with all the Democrat politicians calling for “Drastic measures”. They’re instigating another Summer of Hate and they’ll probably get it. Makes you miss the Summers of Love Hippie days, kind of, when blacks and whites were at least trying to get along.

A few weeks ago a story was being pushed on the Internet that satellite radar had discovered a city or something else huge beneath the Great Pyramid. We have no technology that can see that far into the earth, and the story is a load of crap. Someone is always trying to tell us crazy stuff about those pyramids.

It is pretty certain, though, that they weren’t built by the Egyptians, who first came on the scene about 5000 years ago. A lot of valid evidence has been found to indicate they were built at least 10,000 years ago. For instance, there used to be a very visible high water mark about 2/3rds the way up the Great Pyramid in the 19th century, which was wiped away by the hordes of tourists who climbed all over it. That water mark could only have been left by the great flood that came after the ice melted.

What’s truly weird is that now there’s very strong evidence that the Great Pyramid, at least, was built to be a sort of power plant. It has the equivalent of a huge ram pump for water in it that would have generated impact pulses at a set rate, that would have generated an electric charge in the type of rock the pyramid is built of.

The pyramid was at one time heavily covered on the outside with limestone, which is a very electrically insulative material. The tip of the pyramid was at one time made of gold, one of the best conductors of electricity, and a room was discovered by sending a tiny robot with a video camera up a very small shaft, that ends in a room that had been sealed up, and inside it, sticking out of the back wall, are two very heavy copper cables. Whatever technology had been in the room had been removed before it was sealed, and the channel leading into it had to have a purpose, which could have been for an exit cable.

When the people who built all this left, they took their technology with them. You would do that if you planned to install it wherever you were going to. Or you might do it to keep whoever is coming behind you from using it.

The whole thing is weird. What this setup would have generated was piezo-electric power, static electricity in other words. Like the spark you sometimes get from walking across a rug and then touching something made of metal. Only this would have been a massive spark when it discharged, maybe off that gold cap at the peak.

If the charge was connected to a bank of condensers it could have been used as a DC power source, as a piezo-electric crystal will keep right on delivering a spark every time it’s tapped, in this case by the impact of water against stone from that ram pump/pulse generator.

There are some parts of all those massive Egyptian ruins that are much older than others, parts that the new Egyptians clearly used as foundations to build onto or that they extended out from.

Fascinating stuff. Science and discovery march on, and more and more it looks like there was a much more advanced civilization on our planet before the ice melted and drowned it, back 11,000 or 12,000 years ago, than what we know of today. What those ancient peoples wanted with a massive spark generator and why they’d go to such great trouble to build these piles of stone is a mystery maybe someday we’ll solve.

The view of the Port of Seattle is bleak this morning as the port, usually jammed with lots of container ships and the container yard filled, is absolutely empty and no Chinese ships are enroute. Trade with China, at this main West Coast port at least, has totally stopped. It’s at Zero.

USA media, the MSM, is hiding what’s going on in China for some reason, which is all the protests and riots. The people are upset with the government, they look at the trade war and see clearly that it means starvation for the common people, not the fat, rich people in power.

Google blocked me from accessing the current status of shipping in the Port of Los Angeles, our nation’s largest shipping port, but I was able to get onto the Earth Cam site for the port, using DuckDuckGo and the port is absolutely EMPTY. Just as the Port of Seattle is. Click on the Earth Cam link and check it out.

America can survive a long time without any Chinese imports because we don’t import but a tiny amount of food from them. Our largest food importer is Mexico. Plus we don’t have 1.4 billion people wanting to eat who have to import vast amounts of food and pay for it with their exports, which are no longer being exported.

The last time the international supply system was even partially blocked, it took several months to begin to get it functioning semi-normally again, if you recall the ship that blocked the Suez Canal and the Covid shutdown on top of it. This time, while commerce between China and the rest of the world continues, it’s at a total standstill between them and us and the USA is China’s single largest trade partner.

China will run out of money to buy food for all the people and when they do, the people may rise up against the government. Whether the military will shoot them down or support them, I’ve no guess, but either way, a lot of Chinese are going to die if this doesn’t end very soon, and China’s Long March toward world domination is headed for a cliff.

Much is going to hit the fan if the trade war isn’t quickly resolved. We may have riots here over shortages of various goods but one thing we won’t riot over is hunger. While we don’t produce as much food as we used to, the USA is still the breadbasket of the world, we export 20% of what we grow. Now we’re not sending any of it to China, and now they have much less money to buy what they need anyway.

This is going to get serious in a hurry. I can see us being under Martial Law to quell riots, China threatening nuclear war, everyone waving their bombs and guns around, but it all ends very quietly if China will simply rescind their obscene tariffs against us and stop a few other practices, like cheating on their money value, violating other nations sovereignty, smuggling in Fentanyl to us, stealing our technology and so on, and start acting like global partners instead of mortal enemies.

Since I don’t see that ever happening though, we may see some battles at sea and worse before reason finally prevails.

The last ice age, also known as the last glacial period, ended approximately 11,700 years ago.

According to Plato, Atlantis sank into the sea around 9,600 BC, which would be 11,600 years ago. This is not a coincidence.

Let’s see here… within 100 years of the Ice Age ending and the glaciers melting away faster and faster, Atlantis disappeared.

How high did the water rise? Sea levels rose by about 394 feet from the end of the last ice age to present day.

Where are the largest cities built? By the ocean and major waterways, as they have been since the most ancient of times.

So where is Atlantis? Look for any broad underwater coastal shelf nearly 400 feet down, there you’ll find Man’s cities of 12,000 years and more ago, and one of them will be called Atlantis, another will be Mu and so on.

Finding them shouldn’t be difficult now that you know your search parameters, since broad underwater coastal plains at a 400 foot depth can’t be very common and chances are there’s a major river to the sea that points straight at a few of them. Happy hunting.

China’s refused to back off their massive tariffs on US imported goods and refused to “come to the table” and negotiate. Instead they keep adding more things to the list that they won’t export, the latest being special magnets used in Elon Musk’s robots and US fighter jets, etc.

This is a two way street though. The less they will export to us, the more it forces us to either find new foreign sources, start manufacturing these goods ourselves, or both, and by refusing to export more and more goods to us they’re decreasing the trade imbalance between us. The less the US buys from China, the worse their economy becomes, as well. Besides that, China still imports many things from us that they need, not the least being food. Cutting off our food exports to them would hurt our farmers but also cause major political problems for Xi.

Of course, less Chinese imports means less tariff income from China, so there’s less money to fund our government, but this is being offset by the cuts D.O.G.E. is making in fraudulent, useless and excess payouts, along with the firing of thousands on the government payroll and the limiting and closing of government bureaus and departments. The Department Of Government Efficiency’s goal is to cut a trillion dollars of waste in the first year. Between that and the employee payroll reduction, it may well make up for the loss of tariff income or even more.

Tariffs still remain on other nations, as before, and their tariffs against our goods are mostly reduced now, in line with our own on them, directly because of Pres. Trump’s actions. This results in lower prices for goods in the marketplace for us, which has brought inflation back down a notch while maintaining steady tariff income.

How this trade war with China is going to swing depends on how fast America can come up to speed on producing both vital goods and common goods again, and one industrialist, Elon Musk, is up to the task, with a proven ability to get factories up and running very quickly. The more and sooner we start producing for ourselves again, the faster China’s economy will founder and the sooner they’ll be eager to negotiate.

Pres. Trumps constant bait and switch tactics make it difficult to keep up with the action but they do work and they keep his opponents off balance. Many nations quickly agreed to reduce their high tariffs and suddenly Pres. Trump’s high tariff schedule was greatly reduced, except for China.

There’s no doubt that Xi will stay the course, if he capitulates and drops their tariffs against us his career will be ended, along with his life, most likely. Deposed high Chinese government officials have very short retirements. Where the guesswork comes in is what the US Right, represented by Pres. Trump, will do in the face of divided government power. The Left is weakened but they’re far from being down for the count.

We need to remember that Donald Trump is not his own boss, and the reason the Right sometimes acts against something he does or tries to do is because he doesn’t have all the power anymore than Joe Biden did. He’s there to fulfill the agenda of those above him, which is also his own. At least, so it seems and so far.

IS THE MOTHER OF INVENTION

The war in Ukraine is in it’s 4th year with no sign whatever of ending. Of ever ending. It’s turned into a technology laboratory for the development of advanced weaponry, as Ukraine competes against the advancing capabilities of combined Russian and Iranian drones and missiles.

Pres. Trump now says he’s about to give up on making any deal with Russia to end the war, which is a clear enough statement that Russia isn’t interested in peace. New Russian boys come of military age faster than they get killed in combat, plus China and N. Korea are sending in troops and the Chinese have an inexhaustible supply of young soldiers they can send. Meanwhile, W. Europe nations are preparing for battle. The reason?

Eventually, Ukraine will fall and then the rest of Europe will be faced with a combined China/Russia/Iran force bent on conquering and armed with the advanced technology developed in war with Ukraine that the rest of Europe may not be prepared for.

Back to Pres. Trump, he’s been holding off, along with Israel, on bombing Iran, no doubt in consideration of the strong connection between Russia and Iran, so he’s been trying mediation first. By saying he’s about done with trying to reach a peace deal with Russia, he may also be saying he’s about ready to bomb Iran.

A much larger game is being played out here than Russia trying to conquer Ukraine. China, Russia and Iran are now allied while discord grows among Western European nations over Wokeism and sliding Left, Canada, Mexico and the US are having differences and there’s political realignments going on in Central and South America. Australia is rapidly moving the same way as Canada, toward less democracy and more dictatorship.

The current US government is trying to reverse the national decline brought on by Leftists but still has many on the Left in positions of power working to impede this even as the government is attempting to end the Chinese advance toward world conquest by asserting US military and economic dominance now before it’s lost.

There’s not just one but many possible pivot points to be dealt with. It’s a strategy game now being played out with AI computers and it’s AI that is now going to decide the future of Humanity.

The opinions of presidents, popes, generals and admirals may still weigh in on what happens in the world but considering their poor track records my faith is no longer in them to guide us on the correct path.

Pres. Trump has “waved off” the plan for Israel to bomb Iran in favor of negotiating a deal with Iran to limit its nuclear program, according to a very short notice in the New York Times, which said exactly that and not a word more.

There’s nothing offered to back this up and there’s been no comment from the White House either way.

The NYT is known to print blatant lies, one reason their nickname is the New York Treason. Still, I and many people question why Iran hasn’t been bombed into compliance and hopefully, regime change, by now if everyone is so dead set against them having nuclear weapons.

They’ve had decades to build an atomic bomb. The USA did it in a few years in the basement of a college, essentially. I find it hard to believe that with all their oil billions they couldn’t buy at least one from Russia or Pakistan. Certainly they bought the construction know-how from Pakistan and probably a Do It Yourself kit from them as well.

I suspect that it will be suddenly sprung upon the world, everyone will be in shock, utter amazement and disbelief will bellow like thunder from the iphones of billions, if they have the sound turned up, and Great Leaders will shout “How could this happen”, as Iran reveals they have an inventory of dozens of nukes, maybe by blowing up a couple of them in Israel.

I mean, come on. They’ve Almost Got One has been a good old standby headline for at least 15 years now. Or has it been longer? Memory fades with the boredom of repetition.

It’s the IAEA that’s been assuring us for all these years that Iran doesn’t have it yet, but they’re this far along, now they’re this far along, still farther along, as the years keep ticking by. The IAEA is a UN AGENCY and anyone who still trusts the UN has their head so far up their ass they can smell their own breath.

So yeah, I’m wondering if Iran’s been silently welcomed into the nuclear club by all that oil money, including the Saudis and OPEC’s, to give nuclear parity with Israel to the Arabs. They can’t be too thrilled that Israel has nukes, when they all want to wipe Israel off the map. As death-loving as Arab Muslims are, it would be no surprise at all, if they had nukes, to bomb hell out of Israel and not care if Israel was able to nuke them. Israel would be gone forever, that’s all that would matter to them.

I’m smelling a big, fat, stinky rat here. If Iran isn’t bombed in the next two weeks because Iran’s capitulated and the dismantling of their nuclear weaponry infrastructure has begun by then, then get ready for a nuclear Iran.
