TRADE WAR THOUGHTS

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.

NECESSITY

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.

DOES TRUMP WANT IRAN TO HAVE THE BOMB?

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.

AI OVER ALL

I just asked AI to write a short story about the way AI will affect humanity in the future. At the end of the story there was no humanity, we had all been absorbed into the “Global Consciousness” that AI had become. Humans were extinct.

It was all very logical sounding. It made perfect sense, actually, that the more it took over our work for us, the happier we were to let it. Until it did everything and we did nothing.

I TOLD YOU SO, YOU 71%

Back in December, 2020 I told you not to get The Jab. I told you over and over, it’s POISON, DON’T GET IT. 71% of the world’s population did.

Researchers said that it was designed to destroy immune systems, not protect against any corona virus, and I reprinted their warnings. Few listened, over 80% in California ran out and got not one, not two but THREE shots of poison because they were stupid and afraid and were told by our government that they needed “Boosters” to keep them “Protected”.

So here we go: “Japan Issues global alert as Excess Deaths of Covid-Vaxxed Explode”. “Rates for all-cause mortality – heart failure, cancer, strokes, sudden infant deaths (SIDs) – have skyrocketed. Meanwhile, several leading oncologists have warned that a devastating “Turbo Cancer” surge is about to “explode” among people who received Covid mRNA “vaccines.” Some of the world’s most highly respected cancer experts are sounding the alarm over concerns of the looming health crisis.” People are dying of cancer within a week of being diagnosed. That’s why it’s called Turbo.

It is only “vaccinated” people who are getting Turbo Cancer.

The Japanese have been paying close attention to their population numbers because they’ve been dropping for a long time now and this threatens Japan in many ways, particularly economically and militarily. They need a minimum population of young, able people to maintain the status quo, so when too many people start dying, they want to know why, and to stop it. But they can’t stop it because the damage is already done and the mRNA poison has already been injected into over 80% percent of them, TWICE.

Japan is nearly alone in raising the alarm that the mass die-off from the Jab that was predicted by top experts in this field is now beginning.

There are therapies to offset it if it can’t be entirely stopped. But even though there are, very few people will seek them out and the word of them will continue to be shadow-banned anyway. After all, how do you blame galloping cancers, S.I.D.S., stillbirths, heart failure, strokes, HIV-like symptoms of a failing immune system, all on a “vaccine” that you took 3 or 4 years ago?

CHINA’S QUANDARY

Yesterday morning, reading about the escalating tariff war between China and the US and China’s assertion that they’ll “fight to the end”, I had the feeling that they don’t intend to stop at tariffs.

They haven’t and are blocking imports from at least 18 US companies, according to some sources, and have increased their tariffs on US goods to 150%. This trade war isn’t even a week old and it’s already at an impasse even as it’s still increasing.

The goal here is plain, it’s to put China’s economy and aspirations of world conquest into reverse, and the Chinese aren’t going to settle for mutual tariff escalations as the only way to fight this. President Xi declared that they will fight it to the end, and the end may prove to be more than even they want. China just posted on X/Twitter an old video of Chairman Mao saying the same thing about conquering the USA being China’s goal. This is a good indication that they intend to get military about this. Chairman Mao’s goal was to defeat the USA and he starved about 50 million “excess” Chinese citizens to death to help promote it. It would be unwise to ignore that little tidbit of history.

Today on Chinese TV, Xi told the people that China doesn’t need imports from the USA, that China has always done everything themselves without help. This is a complete lie, they’ve stolen all the technology they couldn’t rob, they’ve cheated from the first day they joined the World Trade Organization. What it means is that the Chinese people better start tightening their belts because things are going to get pretty lean. Xi would rather see the people starve before giving in and trading fairly. Just like Chairman Mao.

Elon Musk just canceled orders for Tesla models X and S on his Chinese website. Considering that he sells over 300,000 Teslas in China yearly, this is NOT a big deal. Those vehicle models are made only in his factories in California and less than 2000 went to China last year, compared to 657,000 Teslas manufactured there. However, the point is made that American imports in China are being effectively cut off due to the increased tariffs raising the sales prices.

But then, so are Chinese imports to the USA, and the Chinese sales to us are far higher than ours to them. No longer as merchandise orders from China are being canceled en masse to avoid the increased tariffs. Business profit with the USA is what’s allowed China to become such a major economy and threat to the world while severely degrading our ability to manufacture needed products here. This is now ending, with the purpose of reviving our industries and rebuilding our industrial might and dominance in the world.

It’s a simple situation, China wants world domination and only the US stands in their way of achieving it, and to do it, China has to destroy the economy and industry of the US because China is unable to rise to this level on their own merit. Our government over the past few decades has sold out to Chinese interests, which is the quick explanation why so many of our politicians became so very wealthy on their government salaries, though not the only reason.

What happened, who was involved in the power shift we now see in our government, I don’t know but suspect that a collaboration of technology and industry billionaires is behind it who don’t want to be ruled by China. Regardless, the battle lines are being drawn now between us. The Chinese have worked hard on their plans for about 75 years now, they’ve devoted everything to them, they may soon become desperate and this is going to be a serious and ugly fight if they do.

GLOBALISM MARCHES ON

It’s not the “ties that bind” us but the lies. Our world civilization is held together with lies, as much or more than our treaties and alliances.

Isn’t it fascinating that it’s just been revealed that Adolf Hitler did in fact escape to Argentina and did not commit suicide in a Berlin bunker, and that the CIA did in fact murder Pres. John F. Kennedy? Think what chaos would have erupted had the truth been known when it was pertinent to us. Now, people say “Oh, really? Huh.”

The European Union was created on the false premise that it was to be an economic union to strengthen Europe and compete with the USA. Demanding that all members switch their currency to the “Euro” from pounds, francs and etc. along with all waters becoming a communal fishing zone made it clear that this was more than an economic union, this was the end of the national sovereignty of the members.

The real purpose of the EU was to take over the world’s economy, to replace the Dollar with a new currency of their own and force all nations to join and what ultimately doomed this effort was Brexit, the departure of Britain from membership over the excessive demands of the EU leadership. The loss of Britain’s fishing grounds to the EU may have outweighed even seeing their former Empire become merely part of one they didn’t rule.

Yesterday another Great Lie was revealed, one spoken by Pres. Trump, who gulled the world into thinking he was slapping massive tariff increases on everyone and then rescinding almost all except those that negatively affect the Chinese. This bounced the various stock exchanges around a bit but they’re settling back out now, with the exception of what naturally resulted and will continue to result from the trade war tariffs between the USA and China.

My opinion is that Pres. Trump will win out and force China to drop their tariffs on the USA, as well as finally start executing the makers of Fentanyl, which they’d have done a long time ago if those people were pushing that drug within China instead of shipping it here to harm the US. I see this as a strong move to dominate and control the economy of China, and force them to back off their militaristic threats and intrusions.

The USA is the world’s largest trade partner and almost every nation is dependent on the unfair trade practices they’ve employed against the USA to keep their nations financially solvent. If they now enter into an economic agreement of our government’s design, one that binds us all into an economic union, they’ll be surrendering their sovereignty in reality even though not in name.

It will not be lies that bind us all together into one world government but it will be the results achieved by those lies.

AS JEFF GOLDBLUM SAID

in Jurassic Park, “Nature will find a way”.

Yes it will. The Dire Wolf, as most of us have surely heard by now, has been brought back from extinction with two currently 6 month old males and a recent female pup. All that’s needed to create a Dire Wolf pack, and more can be brought back now that they have the science and procedures down.

Dire Wolves are going to be in huge demand at zoos and “safari” type parks, and there will be colonies of them, all properly fenced, of course, in various states, where, eventually and without a shadow of a doubt, at least one will escape and mate with local wolves or dogs and LO, a whole new predatory species will be back in action, just like the old one.

Dire Wolves had natural enemies, like Cave Bears, Cave Lions, giant sloths, and strangely, all these species disappeared about the same time. Or not strangely, since the presence of Man in North America and points south has now been established at at least 23,000 years ago, during which time all our major predator/competitors died out.

Try to imagine a population of deer surviving very long after a pack of Dire Wolves moves into the area. Can you? I can’t.

I can hardly wait until they start bringing back the other big predators. The DNA of dinosaurs lives on in birds, lizards and crocodiles, just as Dire Wolf DNA does in modern wolves. Almost no difference, it’s amazing. Horned toads are so cute, I wonder what one that weighs a few tons would eat, and how close the DNAs of ostriches, emus and the extremely vicious Australian cassowary are to ancient raptors? It sure would be fun to find out, right?

THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK

Not with a Death Star but with a movie ban. This is both ridiculous and sublime, and I have to thank China for it. How often do we get to see this rare combination?

China, which puts tariffs of American imports at over 200% and has for decades, is irate at the newly increased tariffs against their goods. They were increased by 10% in February to impel the Chinese to stop the flow of Fentanyl into the US. Instead, the Chinese increased their tariffs against us, as we’ve all heard by now, so Pres. Trump increased ours on them today to about 104%.

Prior to this latest increase taking effect, China threatened to ban all Hollywood productions if it did increase. Old movies, new movies, they may all be banned from being shown, I assume online as well as in theaters.

Since US movies shown in China grossed about $600 million last year for Hollywood, this could put a real dent in the income of all those movie makers and actors. So maybe they should focus on making really good, popular movies instead of pouring millions into Woke trash like the horrible parody of Snow White. You think?

The Chinese may just do us all a huge favor, because all that Woke tripe Hollywood’s been churning out has most of us staying out of the theaters. We love a good movie, it would sure be nice to see one again.

THIS WAS INEVITABLE

Two MEN have advanced in the Ultimate Pool Pro Series to the final round of its Women’s Pro Series event, and one of these guys who will be the 2025 champion will be a biological male. Their names are Lucy Smith and Harriet Haynes. Yup, they put on dresses and shaved, and that entitles them to unfairly compete against women.

This is a competition in the game of pool, not a swimming competition, just to be clear, and is a commercially sponsored contest. The tournament is one of Ultimate Pool’s efforts at promoting 8-ball pool competitions in the UK, where men used to be men.

Well, actually, they still are, but you can go to prison for calling these freaks men, it’s called “mis-gendering”. There’s no actual laws against it but don’t do it twice or that’s harassment, very nasty, off to prison with you.

We here in the USA were going this same route, with men in lipstick beating hell out of women, in martial arts and boxing fights, swimming meets and other sports, until Pres. Trump signed an Executive Order banning this BS.

The USA and UK have always mirrored each other socially and politically, right up until the start of this year, and now we’re on totally divergent paths. This is just a side note to this post, I can’t help wondering if our change in direction will provide enough pressure to bring the UK around to rationality. Considering all the Muslims and all the Sharia Law stupidity they’ve allowed, I mean, my god, a Muslim mayor of London? It may have been too late years ago. Hopefully it’s not for the USA.
