When I discuss the China tariffs with Trump haters I can’t help but ask, why do we in the United States want to trade with communist China after what they did to us regarding Covid? Really, objectively, this is a country that released a biological weapon, a manufactured, fabricated super virus produced in a lab in Wuhan, and they released it upon the entire world deliberately. They knowingly flew infected people all around the world resulting in millions of people dying. They lied about it. Xi Jinping the communist strong man, that butcher that slave holder, systematically covered it up and didn’t bat an eye as he knowingly allowed infected people to fly out of Beijing and Shang Hai, into Australia, Europe, America, and they spread that virus all over the world. Then to add insult to injury they tried to maximize profit, money, take economic advantage, because they sold us and the world masks and pharmaceuticals. So why would we want to trade with them. I’ll tell you why, because we had a president that was completely compromised, he was on the take, a media that was compromised, they were on the take. They lied to us. The FBI lied, our intelligence agencies lied, the CIA lied, the NSA lied. They knew it came from that lab in Wuhan. Our own government was implicated in it, led by Obama, Fauci and his boss Francis Collins. We funded it, we supported it. We aided and abetted in this crime.
So honestly 125 % isn’t nearly enough, 500% isn’t enough for causing the spread of this death and destruction. Nothing against the Chinese people, they are good hard working people, but this Chinese government, this brutal communists regime in Beijing needs to be bankrupted and they need to collapse just like the old Soviet Union. This is Trumps clear end game and God bless him, I hope, it will work! J.Goodrich
A series of big cultural adjustments. Remember that Sam Walton would not sell any foreign made he could avoid and his heirs insist all new products brought to market be manufactured in china for lowest cost
Communism is an atheistic ideology, which teaches and promotes hate toward God, and His people. We are only 36 years away from the fall of the U.S.S.R., and amnesia has set in concerning the tyranny and pain communism caused in Europe and across the world—it was horrific and dehumanizing what Russia did to Europeans. BUT NOTE: it was FDR who helped carve out Europe for communist Russia, and yes, he was surrounded by communists in his administration, and called Stalin “Uncle Joe.”
China is no different, but for the love of money, America turned a blind eye to their atrocities, hatred toward America, and openly declared war on the United States—economic, cultural, opioids, fentanyl, etc., and here we are today—the only thing that has changed is our president and administration, and thank God for that. But I worry about the heart of America—a heart that has turned to other “gods” like money—and rejected the Christian foundation we once had, that made us different in the world, and diametrically opposed to communist ideology, in particular atheism.
I am realistically concerned that IF, and it is possible, the Left/Democrats regain power, the George Floyd riots will look like a stroll in the park, and they WILL target Christians like they did the past four years, but worse. We must turn our hearts back to Christ, and spread his Word for eternal changes in people’s lives, because time is not on our side.
How many times has Russia been invaded from the west? How many Russian lives were lost when the French under Napoleon and Germany under Hitler invaded Russia. I hate Communism, but I can understand why Russia felt a need to erect an Iron Curtain and is now fighting in Ukraine.
Yes, it appears, from what I have read and seen, that the US was responsible for gain of function on Covid. We underwrote it and outsourced it to China.
I'm not sure if the outbreak was planned or not; had it just been in the US, targeting Trump, I would believe it. If it was an experiment to lessen the population and control the survivors; I see that as an alternative plan.
I think the timing of the outbreak happened earlier than planned, and they utilized it, and controlled narratives as well as they could. The planners managed to decimate churches, decimate the middle class, and do a lot of damage to people who might think independently.
I'm not a doctor, but I can say with certainty, I got two jabs, only because my wife works with elderly and compromised patients, and 9 months later, I contracted throat & neck cancer. Never again for me.
Thank you all, I am cancer clear now, but the treatment was worse than the disease. I'm still dealing with dry mouth, constricted throat and loss of taste issues. It is what it is, I can only look ahead. Thanks again.
I had Covid, lasted about a week, I’m still un-xxxxated, my sense of taste changed and hasn’t returned at least as far as I can tell, food I enjoyed before, the taste of seems bland now. I am so glad I passed on the cure, my wife had J&J jab and developed clots in her lungs, still taking meds to dissolve the remnants as it’s a slow process (2nd year now). Too much happened at the same time to attribute which caused what effect. Dr.’s won’t even entertain that clots were result of the jab. So much for their transparency or for my trusting them ever again. You are Truly Blessed to be cancer free now. We have all been changed from fertility to spike proteins, noticeable taste changes to maybe other unnoticeable side effects, some changes may be permanent, only time and trusted studies will tell. How naive our NIH was to give our greatest adversary the Gain-of-Function research project, fund it, not insist that the lab be of the greatest security and then assist them in covering up its origins (records of which the CCP destroyed), and now for the American people to be gullible into not believing that the leak, whether intentional or not, amounted to an act of war against us. Maybe that is the most damning effect this has had on us all?
That’s horrible Jerry!! Another person I know that has gotten sick from what I believe is the shot. That’s the problem with all of their lies and mandating people. Being forced to be in their experiment makes you think they’re guilty period!!
Everyone who got the jab needs to follow Dr. Makis substack! he is healing stage for pancreatic and ovarian cancers with ivermectin and fenbendazole, anti-parasitics!
It was inhumane. Worse thing our government did to my mom—she was dying, not from COVID, and they kept my sister from seeing her, though they could have tested her and had her gown up. When I and my other sister arrived, we broke her out of the hospital, sorta speak, and sent her to Hospice where she died the next day, but she was able to see and recognize us a little bit because she was highly medicated.
The nurses were great, just following orders from a Democrat Governor. I’ll never forget that, and I’ll never live in a Blue State.
It was also the only thing that stopped those pesky Hong Kong protests. Don't forget their punishing National Security law passed in the 'dark of night' while the world was otherwise occupied.
China knew there were infected people that came out of that lab, pretty much right away. “Scientists” that left had taken ill. So I’m sure once that leak started they tracked people that were exposed. And remember they destroyed all of the records that should have been shared. They also pressured countries including America to keep quiet about the origins of this virus. They isolated themselves by closing the major city they all live in but allowed people to fly all over the world. They knew what they were doing!!
Woulda if they coulda, but viruses are obligate intracellular parasites. They need a living host to survive. The virus couldn't survive on those nasal swabs either. Still, I'd put nothing past them to bring harm to Americans.
It was reported that they were buying up N-95 masks from Lowe’s and Home Depot by the pallet, to be shipped back to China. I believe this was done before things got bad, and they were taking masks and other PPE items from the Philippians.
As much as I’d like to see China return all the land it purchased, I’d like to see Congress get its act together and pass a law that addresses this issue in a manner that targets specifically China, addresses work arounds,and actually thinks this through so it can’t happen ever again. It should be a bipartisan effort or we should know who voted against not doing this. Maybe the discussion should also include whether we should allow any purchase of American land, mineral rights, air rights to any foreign country or if we are to allow exceptions we state them clearly and make them part of the law. Then I might not totally agree, but could go along, if Congress reached a consensus and it was comprehensive and put this issue to rest once and for all. But first, congress needs to codify the EO’s and pass tax relief to unleash the American economy and allow us to thrive and grow towards self sufficiency. Rather than wait for congress, we the people need to let our voices be heard, call your representatives, tell them you expect action, get involved, because if you don’t speak up now, you won’t have the right to complain later when there’s an outcome you disagree with. Funny how many people complain online, but are unwilling to speak to their representatives to bring about the change that they control now. Be a great time to set a good example for our kids.
SPOT-ON, James! Fact of the matter - trade wise - the US hasn't had a trade surplus with COMMUNIST China since 1975!
How many Americans remember that the "Republican" president - Richard Milhaus Nixon - and his secretary of state "Democrat" - Henry A. Kissinger - (BOTH members of the Council on Foreign Relations) on a SECRET trip in 1972, to "OPEN" Communist China with "Chairman" Mao* - cut a deal to provide China with American intellectual property, know-how, trade secrets and tons of US dollars, in exchange for CHEAP LABOR. What a deal?
Note that it was the so-called "experts" and "intellectuals" - MEMBERS OF THE CFR -
that decided to DE-INDUSTRIALIZE the USA and make (us) a "Service Economy" - which
resulted in the VAST "Rust-Belt" - and millions of American workers out of work; towns becoming ghost towns - and America NOW relying on UNFAIR trade for just about everything that used to be MADE IN THE USA!
Recall CFR member - Hillary Clinton - quipping out of work coal miners "need to learn to write CODE" to support their families?
*Mao Zedong - the "Chairman" of the Chinese Communist Party made Joseph Stalin and Adolph Hitler look like pikers compared to the total number of human beings slaughtered, starved and enslaved by a factor of some 10 to 1!
BTW, Mao, was "educated" and radicalized in FRANCE.
Prior to when Nixon went to China, there was a Japanese study that reported in scientific America that China was ready for war because they were excluded from international trade. Nixon and Kissinger went to China to prevent World War III. They convinced the leadership that they should send their best and brightest to US universities to learn about business. China leaped from the dark ages and have hop skipped over the United States with technology. Their robotic efforts are exceptional.
Thomas, Thank you - I didn't know that preventing WWIII was their motive/mission. That information certainly changes the picture! "What is essential is invisible to the eye." (- from The Little Prince.)
That Japanese "study" sounds bogus. Mao had thoroughly destroyed the Chinese traditions - and other than his young "Red Guards" had NO capability of engaging in a kinetic war with the US - or Japan.
I think I still have the copy of Scientific America that had the extensive analysis of China's move to go to war. Was it miss direction like so much of what we experience out of DC? Don't know. Covid con was superb!
What we DO know is that after Nixon & Kissinger's "secret" meeting with Mao the Communist Chinese became rich - and flooded America with cheap Chinese goods; ignored or pirated copyrighted and patented American products; and that since 1975, the US has had NO trade "surplus" with China. Possible exception - one to two years during 1st Trump administration.
Sars II Covid 19 exported to Wuhan is another theory. Enhancement managed by Fauci agents? Did China see it as a bio drill and went along with the Big 5 effort? Have no answers. Just a lot of questions. If China was the true culprit, then why was PERK extended to 2029?
What an Amazing article James, well done mate. Your words inspired me to click Like and Reply, but my mind was running at speed to justify a response to such an article, based on the subject matter. I DO want to and INTEND to draft a reply James, but the (YOUR) subject matter AND the job you have done in presenting it dictates that I go back, make another coffee (Its still early Saturday Morning here) and think carefully about my response. Fabulous job mate, well done. "talk soon" so to speak.
Let's not forget a key entity in this Wuhan horror, ***richard lieber***, as usual, when something DESTRUCTIVE is on its way, there is always a member of the ***tribe*** involved. He should lose his American passport and put on his way, one-way ticket, to the Negev.
Agree James! I totally trust President Trump and his outstanding team! We are blessed to have them working so hard on our behalf! God bless them all! ‼️‼️
"The U.S.-China trade war has exploded into an all-out economic clash. From China’s retaliatory tariffs to Trump’s stunning 125% tariff escalation, tensions are rising fast, with no end in sight. Some are already calling it the economic World War III. While Washington’s strategies have been widely discussed and analyzed, little attention has been paid to Beijing’s next moves."
We’re breaking down the CCP’s playbook:
• How the Chinese public is reacting •
Why Xi Jinping has chosen to dig in •
And the three "weapons" he’s preparing to fight back
You will find these interesting, by the same person, Ms. Lei....
Is China's population only half of what it claims? Using AI and official statistics, I discovered that China’s actual population is 37% to 50% lower than the reported 1.4 billion. A simple comparison of fertility rates and population trends between China and India revealed an unexplained 37% discrepancy. My findings suggest that China's official demographic data is significantly overstated—and now, AI agrees with me!
China’s vanishing population and the lie of 1.4 billion people
China’s true population is far lower than the official 1.4 billion. The most devastating factor has been the massive death toll from COVID-19, which the Chinese government has systematically covered up. But now, the truth is becoming undeniable—streets are empty, and people can see with their own eyes that the population has vanished.
Across China, one question echoes: Where did everyone go? When the truth about China’s population crisis is finally exposed, it will reveal one of the greatest deceptions in history—a lie that involves the life and death of hundreds of millions.
Fascinating John. This is of considerable interest to me, if you are interested in exchange going forward, feel free to email me at admin@thewillofaustralians.co (mdotau)
Folgers in your cup. Folgers used to advertise its coffee before pharmaceuticals bought up all the ad slots. Sure miss the coffee ear-worm songs! They were better than all the potential side effects of drugs which are so disgusting and consume half the Pfizer ads.
Sitting in a waiting room for hours while your husband has surgery, and then the Friday Funnies came into my inbox to brighten the day. Thanks Doc!
Jazzy Crockett not to be confused with Davey has never been on a cotton producing farm. They haven’t used human beings to pick cotton in a half century. It’s all mechanized. I know because I grew up near huge cotton farms with thousands of acres. I really hope she and AOC are the next crop of Dems to be plowed under by our young crop of fantastic Republicans.
And the implication that farm work is now beneath her is offensive. Farmers produce our food, drink, clothing (yes, that is where your cotton t shirt comes from), and shelter. It is a hard job and not one that will make you rich. But we saw what dependence on foreign sources for pharmaceuticals did - do you really want the same dependence in our food supply?
This assortment says it all, more gently than usual. (Jill and assistant?) I have been spending more time feeding my Spirit than feeding my hungry mind. I need the balance to stay in the world but not of it. The constant changes in the world and the reactions to them, such as confusion, anger, lies, hatred disguised as intelligence, etc.can wear me out. Becoming the same as those I abhor isn't the answer for inner peace.
Well, Dr. Malone, I decided to test FB to see if they really did removed all fact checkers. Yesterday, I shared a great article about you. It had your pic and name in the headline. For the first time in 5 years, it didn’t get removed! It wasn’t even flagged! I will add that I asked if anyone sees it to let me know and haven’t gotten a response yet. So I’m assuming it was shadow banned? If that’s the case then I guess not much progress has been made in the battle for free speech, but at least it’s still there. 🤔 So maybe a little progress. 🫤
I've done a similar thing here in Australia a while back, I posted that absolutely beautiful photo of The Malones in a lovely embrace. Got lots of likes, few comments no banning (to my knowledge).
Tariff-ied made me laugh out loud. Blue people have actually gone brain dead. They can’t think outside of the box. The media have them soooo hypnotized that Trump is bad , they have lost the heads. I don’t think they will ever wake up. Have a great day. It is sunny and warm today!
Here is what the MSM cannot say...Market volatility is surging, 1000 point swings in both directions and this trade chaos is causing worldwide panic—there is a full-blown liquidity crisis building up. There is an overseas dollar shortage. Banks are holding onto their cash.
This is the telltale sign of something we're not supposed to talk about or even recognize.
This is why Trump paused the tariffs to hold off a liquidity crisis.
"Why are Treasury yields soaring(4.5%) when they should be falling on flight to safety? As clear as day, the Treasury market's supposed breakdown explains everything else that's happening alongside it: why there are liquidations and chaos seemingly in every direction."
There is a dollar shortage and trouble in the repo market(hedge funds) Treasuries are being sold to raise US dollars overseas. Both China and Japan have been selling Treasury in order to provide liquidity.
"Repo market, and interest rate swaps are stopping or slowing down. "
China will keep selling US bonds to raise the interest cost. Trump has 6 trillion in US bonds to refinance. The Chinese are using the bond yield curve as a weapon against Trump's Tariffs.
Oil and copper supplies are being sold for the same reasons.
****************
"Bonds are supposed to move in the opposite direction as stocks, rising when stocks are falling. In this way, they act like shock absorbers to 401(k)s and other portfolios in stock market meltdowns, compensating somewhat for the losses."
“This is Econ 101,” said Jack McIntyre, portfolio manager for Brandywine Global, adding about the bond sell-off now, “It’s left people scratching their heads.”
"Trump acknowledged that the bond market played a role in his decision Wednesday to put a 90-day pause on many tariffs, saying investors “were getting a little queasy.”
If indeed it was the bond market, and not stocks, that made him change course, it wouldn't come as a surprise."
Thanks for the further explanation re: bond market.
I had read previously of trouble in the repo market and a liquidity crisis in Sep 2019.
Interesting that the hedge funds stepped into the bank trap.
Thanks also for the YT links. I listen to some fin podcasts, but still find it hard to separate the shills from honest opinions.
Ultimately, I despise having to skill up on a system that rewards unscrupulous players for gambling with everyone else’s money by leveraging it to clip the ticket on earnings they had no part in.
But it is what it is. Just trying to not get burned.
I’m a complete amateur in this space, but I wonder if there are other factors at play that have rendered ‘Econ 101’ obsolete, or partially so.
Aside from 10 yr bond yields not falling due to foreign dumping, could bonds be also unloved by people either (a) not having confidence in US gov ability to control inflation and/or (b) people getting out of stocks and retiring debt rather than moving to bonds?
Also, stock markets globally have been massively oversold for years. P/E is around 40-50:1 for most everything. How much of this inexplicable rise is a result of investor sentiment or just passive investing from retirement funds and algorithmic trading?
For example, the Aus stock market is grossly overvalued. All employers pay 11.5% on top of salary for all employees to their superannuation funds. This money is inevitably pumped into the stock market, month after month, regardless of economic conditions. Sure, some people might sit in cash instead of stocks, but in the decade+ of zero interest, hardly anyone did.
The Hedge Funds and to cash out their of US treasuries to balance their repo trade(24hours to 48 hours trade.). Normally Hedge Funds borrow leverage cash from Banks in the over night repo trade to cover their themselves from losses and to provide leverage.
There was a dollar shortage and trouble in the repo market(hedge funds). Treasuries are being sold to raise US dollars by Hedge Funds in order to provide liquidity. Banks chose not to lend them more cash, because of the Hedge Funds leverage the funds in the first place they had to sell their Treasuries to cash out.
"Repo market, and interest rate swaps are stopping, the banks sell treasuries to increase the basis, knowing full well the hedge funds will incur substantial losses and will be forced to exit. Guess who is on the other side of that trade? Banks. When the hedge funds enter the basis trade, they enter the trade by buying treasuries from banks, and selling futures - the banks take the buy side of those futures. When hedge funds are forced to exit, they sell their treasuries back to banks at a relatively lower price, and buy back the futures at a relatively higher price, giving banks a win."

This Is Why Treasuries Are Being Liquidated During a Crisis (And Nobody’s Talking About It)
This is another reason why America should have 'woken' (do I dare use that word?) up a long time ago. Almost all our debt is purchased outside the US. We are seeing a bit more of the berg being exposed. It ain't gonna be pretty.
As I've mentioned, I'm waiting for next month on the new addition of "Empire of Debt" cause we are.
As of April 2024, foreign countries own approximately $7.9 trillion in Treasurys — or 22.9% of total US debt. Over the past two decades, central banks and other government entities have owned more than 50% of foreign-owned debt. Independent investors and companies held the rest.
JP Morgan responds to the Fed: There is a liquidity crisis right now...
"De-leveraging and deterioration of macro sentiment has morphed into a situation in which liquidity dynamics are now meaningfully impaired in liquid markets.
The plumbing behind the curtain is starting to clogged up and there may not be much the Fed can do.
A Banking crisis's may occur if liquidity in cash lending stops. Stagflation.
Credit conditions also reinforce the recession risk. Banks have tightened lending standards across consumer and commercial lines as credit card delinquencies have ticked up sharply, particularly among borrowers aged 18–39.
In short, the American consumer is tapped out. The savings buffer is gone, wage growth is declining, and credit costs are rising.
The puzzled Martin Luther King portrait reflects my own feelings. I heard the “I have a Dream” speech at twelve, mentally shrugged, at that young age it just seemed reasonable to favor character over superficial characteristics like skin color and I have practiced that ever since occasionally surprising someone who appeared to anticipate some other response. Along with many others I have twice had the most interesting conversations at a public gun range when I was shooting and one or two black guys drove in and seemed to think at first I would leave. One was a retired Policeman, still very much in touch, and his visiting son and one was a highly skilled gas meter technician, in great demand in the gas industry. I’m not certain I would do this everywhere, and if rebuffed would have backed off, but these guys were obviously West Virginians too and striking up a conversation is second nature. Skin color, after all, is nothing more than an indication of how near one’s ancestors lived to the equator!
- you can never have too much ammo, learn to reload people;

- the estate of James Earl Jones ought’a sue CNN for making a mockery out of the voice of Lord Vader;
- Tarrif-ied: what ever happened to the talk of FAIR trade from 30’ish years or so ago? Seems to me that’s all that POTUS Trump is putting forward;
- Jasmine Crockett; the gift that keeps giving - kind’a like an ocean storm, you never know what’s gonna wash up on shore;
- and finally, wanna rein in Chai-Nah?, force Chai-Nah to stop manipulating its currency [to be sure, this is a confusing subject for me, but allowing the Yuan to "float" 🤔 like most other currencies would rock the Chinese markets]. This would require nearly 100% cooperation of the EU, Japan and India. —— OTOH, it’s possible I have no idea what I’m talking about here. 🤣
Good catch - IF that’s a Union soldier; however, what if the illustrator purposefully used grey, say Gen’l Lee, to heighten the satire. What’s funny about this panel, at least to me, is that the EP was nothing more than political posturing - the EP only freed enslaved people in states rebelling against the Union, The Confederacy - a circuit judge wasn’t needed for the block.

Then to add insult to injury they tried to maximize profit, money, take economic advantage, because they sold us and the world masks and pharmaceuticals. So why would we want to trade with them.

Bummer that China isn't where this COVID gain of function research started. It just got moved there when Americans noticed it and wanted it gone.
True that the CFP is not our friend, and this needs to be always borne in mind.

Hearing so much about increased cancer diagnoses since 2021 rollout.
Much appreciated Weedom1, I'm cancer free at least.

Maybe that is the most damning effect this has had on us all?
Using Ivermectin I hope.
That’s horrible Jerry!! Another person I know that has gotten sick from what I believe is the shot. That’s the problem with all of their lies and mandating people. Being forced to be in their experiment makes you think they’re guilty period!!
So sorry to hear that.
So sorry!
Everyone who got the jab needs to follow Dr. Makis substack! he is healing stage for pancreatic and ovarian cancers with ivermectin and fenbendazole, anti-parasitics!
weedom1/ As well as dying alone, there is hardly anything more inhumane. Sometimes a person prefers to die without a crowd, that is different...
Denying visitors to patients was a way to increase mortality. Hated it.
It was inhumane. Worse thing our government did to my mom—she was dying, not from COVID, and they kept my sister from seeing her, though they could have tested her and had her gown up. When I and my other sister arrived, we broke her out of the hospital, sorta speak, and sent her to Hospice where she died the next day, but she was able to see and recognize us a little bit because she was highly medicated.

Yep, I remembered the odd way they walled off Wuhan from China and not everywhere else, though I wonder how long they thought that would work.
Did they sell us infected masks? I've wondered.
Woulda if they coulda, but viruses are obligate intracellular parasites. They need a living host to survive. The virus couldn't survive on those nasal swabs either. Still, I'd put nothing past them to bring harm to Americans.
I read they got us through the PCR test and the mask with graphing oxide.

It was reported that they were buying up N-95 masks from Lowe’s and Home Depot by the pallet, to be shipped back to China. I believe this was done before things got bad, and they were taking masks and other PPE items from the Philippians.
The CCP is desperately wicked.
They bought up all kinds of PPE worldwide.
During Covid, I always said, every mask came with a free dose of Covid straight from CCP.
I concur 100%.
I also believe, under eminent domain and national security, all American farm lands owned by CCP should be confiscated.
Since CCP mandates their students here in America, spy, all student visas to Chinese nationals, should be revoked…
China thinks in terms of centuries not years like our politicians!
As much as I’d like to see China return all the land it purchased, I’d like to see Congress get its act together and pass a law that addresses this issue in a manner that targets specifically China, addresses work arounds,and actually thinks this through so it can’t happen ever again. It should be a bipartisan effort or we should know who voted against not doing this. Maybe the discussion should also include whether we should allow any purchase of American land, mineral rights, air rights to any foreign country or if we are to allow exceptions we state them clearly and make them part of the law. Then I might not totally agree, but could go along, if Congress reached a consensus and it was comprehensive and put this issue to rest once and for all. But first, congress needs to codify the EO’s and pass tax relief to unleash the American economy and allow us to thrive and grow towards self sufficiency. Rather than wait for congress, we the people need to let our voices be heard, call your representatives, tell them you expect action, get involved, because if you don’t speak up now, you won’t have the right to complain later when there’s an outcome you disagree with. Funny how many people complain online, but are unwilling to speak to their representatives to bring about the change that they control now. Be a great time to set a good example for our kids.
SPOT-ON, James! Fact of the matter - trade wise - the US hasn't had a trade surplus with COMMUNIST China since 1975!
How many Americans remember that the "Republican" president - Richard Milhaus Nixon - and his secretary of state "Democrat" - Henry A. Kissinger - (BOTH members of the Council on Foreign Relations) on a SECRET trip in 1972, to "OPEN" Communist China with "Chairman" Mao* - cut a deal to provide China with American intellectual property, know-how, trade secrets and tons of US dollars, in exchange for CHEAP LABOR. What a deal?
Note that it was the so-called "experts" and "intellectuals" - MEMBERS OF THE CFR -
that decided to DE-INDUSTRIALIZE the USA and make (us) a "Service Economy" - which
resulted in the VAST "Rust-Belt" - and millions of American workers out of work; towns becoming ghost towns - and America NOW relying on UNFAIR trade for just about everything that used to be MADE IN THE USA!
Recall CFR member - Hillary Clinton - quipping out of work coal miners "need to learn to write CODE" to support their families?
*Mao Zedong - the "Chairman" of the Chinese Communist Party made Joseph Stalin and Adolph Hitler look like pikers compared to the total number of human beings slaughtered, starved and enslaved by a factor of some 10 to 1!
BTW, Mao, was "educated" and radicalized in FRANCE.
Prior to when Nixon went to China, there was a Japanese study that reported in scientific America that China was ready for war because they were excluded from international trade. Nixon and Kissinger went to China to prevent World War III. They convinced the leadership that they should send their best and brightest to US universities to learn about business. China leaped from the dark ages and have hop skipped over the United States with technology. Their robotic efforts are exceptional.
Thomas, Thank you - I didn't know that preventing WWIII was their motive/mission. That information certainly changes the picture! "What is essential is invisible to the eye." (- from The Little Prince.)
That Japanese "study" sounds bogus. Mao had thoroughly destroyed the Chinese traditions - and other than his young "Red Guards" had NO capability of engaging in a kinetic war with the US - or Japan.
I think I still have the copy of Scientific America that had the extensive analysis of China's move to go to war. Was it miss direction like so much of what we experience out of DC? Don't know. Covid con was superb!
Thomas, do you recall the time frame of that Japanese "study" in Scientific American?
"Sounds bogus." Lots of history does! Need to nail it down...
What we DO know is that after Nixon & Kissinger's "secret" meeting with Mao the Communist Chinese became rich - and flooded America with cheap Chinese goods; ignored or pirated copyrighted and patented American products; and that since 1975, the US has had NO trade "surplus" with China. Possible exception - one to two years during 1st Trump administration.
James bring the OG sage wisdom!
And yes bring more ammo. Always more ammo.
Always more ammo—by the truck load!
Sars II Covid 19 exported to Wuhan is another theory. Enhancement managed by Fauci agents? Did China see it as a bio drill and went along with the Big 5 effort? Have no answers. Just a lot of questions. If China was the true culprit, then why was PERK extended to 2029?
Thomas, you "have no answers"? LOL. No problem - just make them up, like so many people do...
What an Amazing article James, well done mate. Your words inspired me to click Like and Reply, but my mind was running at speed to justify a response to such an article, based on the subject matter. I DO want to and INTEND to draft a reply James, but the (YOUR) subject matter AND the job you have done in presenting it dictates that I go back, make another coffee (Its still early Saturday Morning here) and think carefully about my response. Fabulous job mate, well done. "talk soon" so to speak.
Thank You Les, yes have some coffee. I hope the suns shining down under!!
Let's not forget a key entity in this Wuhan horror, ***richard lieber***, as usual, when something DESTRUCTIVE is on its way, there is always a member of the ***tribe*** involved. He should lose his American passport and put on his way, one-way ticket, to the Negev.
Agree James! I totally trust President Trump and his outstanding team! We are blessed to have them working so hard on our behalf! God bless them all! ‼️‼️
👍. I can add nothing to that, James, except to agree!!
So good!! Gotta share again! 👏👏 With your name of course!
You don’t have to use my name you can post at will!!
Too late! lol I always wanna give credit where it’s due! ❤️
👍Absolutely Karen!!
FYI: An interesting video.
"The U.S.-China trade war has exploded into an all-out economic clash. From China’s retaliatory tariffs to Trump’s stunning 125% tariff escalation, tensions are rising fast, with no end in sight. Some are already calling it the economic World War III. While Washington’s strategies have been widely discussed and analyzed, little attention has been paid to Beijing’s next moves."
We’re breaking down the CCP’s playbook:
• How the Chinese public is reacting •
Why Xi Jinping has chosen to dig in •
And the three "weapons" he’s preparing to fight back

Interesting video John well worth a look, thank you.
You will find these interesting, by the same person, Ms. Lei....
Is China's population only half of what it claims? Using AI and official statistics, I discovered that China’s actual population is 37% to 50% lower than the reported 1.4 billion. A simple comparison of fertility rates and population trends between China and India revealed an unexplained 37% discrepancy. My findings suggest that China's official demographic data is significantly overstated—and now, AI agrees with me!

************
China’s vanishing population and the lie of 1.4 billion people
China’s true population is far lower than the official 1.4 billion. The most devastating factor has been the massive death toll from COVID-19, which the Chinese government has systematically covered up. But now, the truth is becoming undeniable—streets are empty, and people can see with their own eyes that the population has vanished.
Across China, one question echoes: Where did everyone go? When the truth about China’s population crisis is finally exposed, it will reveal one of the greatest deceptions in history—a lie that involves the life and death of hundreds of millions.

Fascinating John. This is of considerable interest to me, if you are interested in exchange going forward, feel free to email me at admin@thewillofaustralians.co (mdotau)
Tell it like you see it! You sound like a kinder version of T, James!
Soldiers in your cup is brilliant.
That's some real G.I. Joe!
OK, I get it now, Joe in your cup.
That was tricky.
Folgers in your cup. Folgers used to advertise its coffee before pharmaceuticals bought up all the ad slots. Sure miss the coffee ear-worm songs! They were better than all the potential side effects of drugs which are so disgusting and consume half the Pfizer ads.
I used to buy Folgers back in the day. I also like Chock Full of Nuts.
Caribou is the only coffee I buy now. Thanks for "splainin" Melanie.
I was thinking, (Genera)l Coffee in your cup, then thought, nah, those are just soldiers ...
I was thinking . . . Black Rifle Coffee? 🤔
Cup o’ Joe makes more sense. 😊
Mmmm . . . ☕️☕️☕️
I'm almost 80 and saw the picture, thought WTF, saw your comment and "D-U-U-U-H". Thanks for the elder care.
Need to ruminate a bit.
Thinking man’s joke.
Still in Forest Gump theta state!
Give a man a fish and he'll eat for a day. Teach a man to fish and he'll sit in a boat drinking beer for the rest of his life.

Did you see the "political" cartoon at the top of this substack sequence--Malone gathers great stuff!
Saw them all. He sure does.
Sitting in a waiting room for hours while your husband has surgery, and then the Friday Funnies came into my inbox to brighten the day. Thanks Doc!
Jazzy Crockett not to be confused with Davey has never been on a cotton producing farm. They haven’t used human beings to pick cotton in a half century. It’s all mechanized. I know because I grew up near huge cotton farms with thousands of acres. I really hope she and AOC are the next crop of Dems to be plowed under by our young crop of fantastic Republicans.
And the implication that farm work is now beneath her is offensive. Farmers produce our food, drink, clothing (yes, that is where your cotton t shirt comes from), and shelter. It is a hard job and not one that will make you rich. But we saw what dependence on foreign sources for pharmaceuticals did - do you really want the same dependence in our food supply?
GMoody, I don't think "picking cotton" was meant to be understood literally...
Jazzy sounds like she is an elitist and so farm work should be done by indentured servants.
Still shows contempt for farming.
This assortment says it all, more gently than usual. (Jill and assistant?) I have been spending more time feeding my Spirit than feeding my hungry mind. I need the balance to stay in the world but not of it. The constant changes in the world and the reactions to them, such as confusion, anger, lies, hatred disguised as intelligence, etc.can wear me out. Becoming the same as those I abhor isn't the answer for inner peace.
DD - Well stated! Balancing the inner/outer (an ongoing process) helps to avoid the slippery slope of projecting and polarizing.
I love our new word of the week.
The PANICANS on the roller-coaster in the meme with Trump says it all!!!
And the Paniwon'ts!
Lol 😆 🤣 😂
I had the same reaction along that line. I call one of the parties the: RepubliCANTS. I was also looking into also making it the PaniCANTS. 🤔😂🤣😂
Well, Dr. Malone, I decided to test FB to see if they really did removed all fact checkers. Yesterday, I shared a great article about you. It had your pic and name in the headline. For the first time in 5 years, it didn’t get removed! It wasn’t even flagged! I will add that I asked if anyone sees it to let me know and haven’t gotten a response yet. So I’m assuming it was shadow banned? If that’s the case then I guess not much progress has been made in the battle for free speech, but at least it’s still there. 🤔 So maybe a little progress. 🫤
I've done a similar thing here in Australia a while back, I posted that absolutely beautiful photo of The Malones in a lovely embrace. Got lots of likes, few comments no banning (to my knowledge).
Mr. Malone knows how to get the messages across with the weekly funnies. Making it easier to digest the appalling ongoing news in our lives.
I swear they are getting better. Did not think possible.
Rambler, I don't know if it is indicative of things getting worse!!!🤷🏻♂️🤷🤷♀️
Good point. A thought...to build a scar, you must first have some bleeding
Tariff-ied made me laugh out loud. Blue people have actually gone brain dead. They can’t think outside of the box. The media have them soooo hypnotized that Trump is bad , they have lost the heads. I don’t think they will ever wake up. Have a great day. It is sunny and warm today!
Here is what the MSM cannot say...Market volatility is surging, 1000 point swings in both directions and this trade chaos is causing worldwide panic—there is a full-blown liquidity crisis building up. There is an overseas dollar shortage. Banks are holding onto their cash.
This is the telltale sign of something we're not supposed to talk about or even recognize.
This is why Trump paused the tariffs to hold off a liquidity crisis.
"Why are Treasury yields soaring(4.5%) when they should be falling on flight to safety? As clear as day, the Treasury market's supposed breakdown explains everything else that's happening alongside it: why there are liquidations and chaos seemingly in every direction."
There is a dollar shortage and trouble in the repo market(hedge funds) Treasuries are being sold to raise US dollars overseas. Both China and Japan have been selling Treasury in order to provide liquidity.
"Repo market, and interest rate swaps are stopping or slowing down. "
China will keep selling US bonds to raise the interest cost. Trump has 6 trillion in US bonds to refinance. The Chinese are using the bond yield curve as a weapon against Trump's Tariffs.
Oil and copper supplies are being sold for the same reasons.
****************
"Bonds are supposed to move in the opposite direction as stocks, rising when stocks are falling. In this way, they act like shock absorbers to 401(k)s and other portfolios in stock market meltdowns, compensating somewhat for the losses."
“This is Econ 101,” said Jack McIntyre, portfolio manager for Brandywine Global, adding about the bond sell-off now, “It’s left people scratching their heads.”
"Trump acknowledged that the bond market played a role in his decision Wednesday to put a 90-day pause on many tariffs, saying investors “were getting a little queasy.”
If indeed it was the bond market, and not stocks, that made him change course, it wouldn't come as a surprise."

Thank you John Guy:
She says at the 1:00 Minute Mark that China might be boycotting our debt?
I had to stop there. That freaks me out.
Thanks for the further explanation re: bond market.
I had read previously of trouble in the repo market and a liquidity crisis in Sep 2019.
Interesting that the hedge funds stepped into the bank trap.
Thanks also for the YT links. I listen to some fin podcasts, but still find it hard to separate the shills from honest opinions.
Ultimately, I despise having to skill up on a system that rewards unscrupulous players for gambling with everyone else’s money by leveraging it to clip the ticket on earnings they had no part in.
But it is what it is. Just trying to not get burned.
Thanks again.
I’m a complete amateur in this space, but I wonder if there are other factors at play that have rendered ‘Econ 101’ obsolete, or partially so.
Aside from 10 yr bond yields not falling due to foreign dumping, could bonds be also unloved by people either (a) not having confidence in US gov ability to control inflation and/or (b) people getting out of stocks and retiring debt rather than moving to bonds?
Also, stock markets globally have been massively oversold for years. P/E is around 40-50:1 for most everything. How much of this inexplicable rise is a result of investor sentiment or just passive investing from retirement funds and algorithmic trading?
For example, the Aus stock market is grossly overvalued. All employers pay 11.5% on top of salary for all employees to their superannuation funds. This money is inevitably pumped into the stock market, month after month, regardless of economic conditions. Sure, some people might sit in cash instead of stocks, but in the decade+ of zero interest, hardly anyone did.
🤷♀️🤷♀️🤷♀️
The Hedge Funds and to cash out their of US treasuries to balance their repo trade(24hours to 48 hours trade.). Normally Hedge Funds borrow leverage cash from Banks in the over night repo trade to cover their themselves from losses and to provide leverage.
There was a dollar shortage and trouble in the repo market(hedge funds). Treasuries are being sold to raise US dollars by Hedge Funds in order to provide liquidity. Banks chose not to lend them more cash, because of the Hedge Funds leverage the funds in the first place they had to sell their Treasuries to cash out.
"Repo market, and interest rate swaps are stopping, the banks sell treasuries to increase the basis, knowing full well the hedge funds will incur substantial losses and will be forced to exit. Guess who is on the other side of that trade? Banks. When the hedge funds enter the basis trade, they enter the trade by buying treasuries from banks, and selling futures - the banks take the buy side of those futures. When hedge funds are forced to exit, they sell their treasuries back to banks at a relatively lower price, and buy back the futures at a relatively higher price, giving banks a win."

This is another reason why America should have 'woken' (do I dare use that word?) up a long time ago. Almost all our debt is purchased outside the US. We are seeing a bit more of the berg being exposed. It ain't gonna be pretty.
As I've mentioned, I'm waiting for next month on the new addition of "Empire of Debt" cause we are.
Major Foreign Holders of Treasury Securities....
https://ticdata.treasury.gov/resource-center/data-chart-center/tic/Documents/slt_table5.html
As of April 2024, foreign countries own approximately $7.9 trillion in Treasurys — or 22.9% of total US debt. Over the past two decades, central banks and other government entities have owned more than 50% of foreign-owned debt. Independent investors and companies held the rest.

Thanks 4 that. I'll still b interested in the updated book in May. Author does extensive research.
JP Morgan responds to the Fed: There is a liquidity crisis right now...
"De-leveraging and deterioration of macro sentiment has morphed into a situation in which liquidity dynamics are now meaningfully impaired in liquid markets.
John Guy, ...and therefor...? "And now the answer please" ?!
The plumbing behind the curtain is starting to clogged up and there may not be much the Fed can do.
A Banking crisis's may occur if liquidity in cash lending stops. Stagflation.
Credit conditions also reinforce the recession risk. Banks have tightened lending standards across consumer and commercial lines as credit card delinquencies have ticked up sharply, particularly among borrowers aged 18–39.
In short, the American consumer is tapped out. The savings buffer is gone, wage growth is declining, and credit costs are rising.
Banks are increasing their loan loss reserves.
Almost fell off my chair with the headache amputated head!
The puzzled Martin Luther King portrait reflects my own feelings. I heard the “I have a Dream” speech at twelve, mentally shrugged, at that young age it just seemed reasonable to favor character over superficial characteristics like skin color and I have practiced that ever since occasionally surprising someone who appeared to anticipate some other response. Along with many others I have twice had the most interesting conversations at a public gun range when I was shooting and one or two black guys drove in and seemed to think at first I would leave. One was a retired Policeman, still very much in touch, and his visiting son and one was a highly skilled gas meter technician, in great demand in the gas industry. I’m not certain I would do this everywhere, and if rebuffed would have backed off, but these guys were obviously West Virginians too and striking up a conversation is second nature. Skin color, after all, is nothing more than an indication of how near one’s ancestors lived to the equator!
You know what else about those soldiers in the cup? They're mountain-grown.
A few comments/observations:
- you can never have too much ammo, learn to reload people;
- The libtard w_the offensive t-shirt needs blue hair;
- the estate of James Earl Jones ought’a sue CNN for making a mockery out of the voice of Lord Vader;
- Tarrif-ied: what ever happened to the talk of FAIR trade from 30’ish years or so ago? Seems to me that’s all that POTUS Trump is putting forward;
- Jasmine Crockett; the gift that keeps giving - kind’a like an ocean storm, you never know what’s gonna wash up on shore;
- and finally, wanna rein in Chai-Nah?, force Chai-Nah to stop manipulating its currency [to be sure, this is a confusing subject for me, but allowing the Yuan to "float" 🤔 like most other currencies would rock the Chinese markets]. This would require nearly 100% cooperation of the EU, Japan and India. —— OTOH, it’s possible I have no idea what I’m talking about here. 🤣
US Grant should be wearing a blue Union uniform, not Gray!
Good catch - IF that’s a Union soldier; however, what if the illustrator purposefully used grey, say Gen’l Lee, to heighten the satire. What’s funny about this panel, at least to me, is that the EP was nothing more than political posturing - the EP only freed enslaved people in states rebelling against the Union, The Confederacy - a circuit judge wasn’t needed for the block.
And then there was june 10th
It looks like Grant and he’s wearing four stars so that checks out
