Most notably, Islam and its effects on Classical Civilization, and various forms of leftism from Soviet era communism, to postmodernism and all the flavours of galloping statism and totalitarianism such as Nazism and Fascism which are increasingly snuffing out the classical liberalism which created our near, miraculous civilization the West has been building since the time of Socrates.

This document was written around the time this site was created, for those who wish to understand what this site is about. And while our understanding of the world and events has grown since then, the basic ideas remain sound and true to the purpose.

  1. VIDEO 1 of a Canadian soldier who served in Afghanistan – He tells his story of what he witnessed and his opinion of our Canadian political parties & Islamic infiltration therein.

    Very much well worth the time to listen.

    • I am a Christian. If the United States removed all faithful preachers of the Bible I would still follow the Bible and continue to be a Christian. I expect a Moslem to continue practicing what is in his holy books even if Imams are banished.

  2. Thanks Sassy. I read and watched all of both posts. If only a fraction of this Redgreen corrosion is true, we are at great threat to ourselves, and to the United States.

    VTB would serve all well to seek out and reach out to every ostracized politico it can find (like the Mr. Cooper mentioned in the video) to offer a platform for their knowledge and story.

    “The Air Force of the Libyan National Army (LNA), led by Field Marshal Khalifa Haftar, liquidated at least 26 militants near the southwestern city of Murzuq as the militants attempted to flee the area in the wake of the US airstrikes, Ahmed Mismari, the LNA spokesman, said on Thursday.

    “The Libyan army units supported by the aviation forces liquidated 26 mercenaries and terrorists in the vicinity of the town of Murzuq in the southwest of the country as they fled as a result of strikes by the United States Africa Command (AFRICOM),” Mismari told a press conference.

    The spokesman added that a total of 43 terrorists had been killed by the mission’s airstrike on targets of the Daesh* terror group near Murzuq, the town citadel and the Sabha Airport.

    Mismari emphasized that the LNA would continue its operations against terrorist and criminal groups across Libya…”

    “The Houthi rebel movement, controlling the north of Yemen, said on Thursday it was preparing for new strikes on Saudi Arabia which will be carried out if Riyadh does not respond to its calls for ceasing hostilities.

    In mid-September, the Houthis claimed responsibility for attacks on Saudi oil facilities that resulted in a sharp drop in the oil production of the kingdom, which is at the helm of a coalition fighting against the rebel movement in Yemen. The movement subsequently announced halting drone attacks on Saudi Arabia and called on the coalition to follow suit.

    “Large-scale preparations are underway for unrestricted and powerful strikes, which will be enough to crash the aggressor if peaceful efforts and dialogue do not bring success,” the Houthi’s Supreme Political Council said in a statement, as cited by Almasirah TV channel, which is controlled by the movement.

    The political council noted that the recent attacks on Saudi oil facilities were only a “tip of an iceberg” in comparison to the rebels’ capabilities…”

    Seven protesters and a policeman died in Nassiriya during clashes, four more people were killed in the city of Amara, according to sources.

    Earlier, participants of anti-government demonstrations in Iraq’s capital of Baghdad were trying to break into the city airport while security forces were using tear gas to disperse them.

    “All vehicles and individuals are totally forbidden to move in Baghdad as of 5 am today, Thursday, and until further notice,” Iraqi Prime Minister Adel Abdul Mahdi said in a written statement.

    On Wednesday, the demonstrations spilled from Baghdad to several other provinces.

    The number of people injured in protests rose to 112, sources at the Husyaniya Training Hospital said.

    The rallies erupted a year after large-scale protests against low living standards rocked Iraq’s south, particularly, the city of Basra.”

    https://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/turkish-greek-ministers-discuss-spike-migrants-greece-66027764

    “Turkey’s state-run news agency says top Turkish and Greek ministers have met to discuss migration policies amid a spike in migrant arrivals in Greece over the summer.

    Anadolu Agency said Turkish Interior Minister Suleyman Soylu met with Giorgos Koumoutsakos, Greece’s migration minister, on Thursday in Ankara.

    Soylu is scheduled to hold a separate meeting with his French and German counterparts to discuss a 2016 European Union-Turkey migration agreement and ways of assisting Greece cope with the increased arrivals.

    The meetings follow threats by President Recep Tayyip Erdogan that Turkey could “open the gates” and allow migrants to leave for European countries, saying his country can’t shoulder the burden of 3.6 million refugees it hosts alone.

    Turkey frequently accuses the EU of not keeping to the terms of the 2016 deal.”

      At least four officers are dead and several others are injured in Paris after an individual armed with a knife attacked the city’s police headquarters. The attack reportedly took place Thursday in the center of Paris near the Notre Dame Cathedral.

      An individual believed to be a staff member of the building began attacking officers with a ceramic blade. The attacker has reportedly been fatally shot, and the area has been closed off by emergency personnel.

    • Hong Kong police get more powers, masks to be banned in bid to end crisis: media

      HONG KONG (Reuters) – Hong Kong has loosened guidelines on the use of force by police as it struggles to stamp out anti-government protests that have rocked the Asian financial hub for nearly four months, according to documents seen by Reuters on Thursday.

      The city is also expected to ban face masks under a colonial-era emergency law that has not been used in half a century, media reported.
      Report Ad

      The loosening of restrictions on the use of force came into effect shortly before some of the most violent turmoil seen in the protests on Tuesday, with police firing about 1,400 rounds of tear gas, 900 rubber bullets and six live rounds, as protesters threw petrol bombs and wielded sticks.

      More than 100 people were wounded, including a teenaged secondary school student who was shot in the chest and wounded. It was the first time a demonstrator had been shot by live fire.

      In the documents seen by Reuters, the police manual changed some guidelines on how officers could act when considering force. It also removed a line that stated officers should be accountable for their actions.

    President Trump Trump has suggested Adam Schiff helped write the whistleblower complaint. This comes as a new report shows the CIA officer behind it approached the House Intelligence Committee before formally filing the complaint.

    On Wednesday, the New York Times revealed that before going to Congress the unknown CIA officer had a colleague convey the accusations to the agency’s top lawyer. Concerned that nothing was happening, the whistleblower himself then approached a House Intelligence Committee aide.

    Counterbattery: Wednesday Hill briefing from State Dept. IG didn’t go as Democrats expected
    By J.E. Dyer October 3, 2019

    This sounds rather audacious and pointed, actually. On Tuesday, a somewhat mysterious announcement circulated in Washington that the State Department’s inspector general, Steve Linick, had asked to brief members of Congress on an “urgent” matter, and that he would be doing so in a session on Wednesday, 2 October.

    The timing appeared to link IG Linick’s request to House Democrats’ demand for documents from Mike Pompeo, and interviews with State Department officials, on his dealings with Ukraine. The Democrats are seeking the materials from Pompeo on the theory that the intelligence community “whistleblower” has identified improprieties that justify the impeachment of President Trump.

    Steve Linick was appointed by Obama in 2013, and, in fact, took over as IG after a long hiatus in which there was no formally appointed IG for the State Department. The hiatus covered Hillary Clinton’s entire tenure as secretary of state. That gaping vacancy had troubled Ted Cruz, who finally got Obama to fill it by holding up Senate confirmations until action was taken, and a State Department IG was installed.

    Richard: If she is right (and I think she is) the big battle is about to start, the Dems are discovering that their dirty laundry is about to be made public and with luck many of the crooks will go to jail. Putting it another way the preliminary bouts are finished and the main event is about to start.

  14. Even if there were no there there in Hunter Biden’s Ukraine involvement, what about China?
    By Ben Bowles October 2, 2019

    To listen to Democrats, Joe Biden is as innocent of influence peddling in Ukraine as Donald Trump is guilty. Never mind the widely circulated video of Biden’s boasting that he had threatened to withhold a billion-dollar U.S. aid package unless then-Ukrainian Pres. Petro Poroshenko fired a prosecutor looking into his son Hunter’s role as a board member of gas company Burisma. And never mind that the Left’s companion story about Trump having pressured current Pres. Volodymyr Zelensky to reopen the investigation is full of holes. (RELATED: Why is Biden keeping mum about the Ukraine ‘scandal’ in which he is a key player?)

    No doubt that football will be batted back and forth again and again between now and Election Day, but NBC Today featured a story this morning about the other Hunter Biden Asia deal. That was the trip the then-vice president’s son took aboard Air Force 2 in 2013 from which he returned with $1.5 billion of cash from a Chinese banker for the equity fund he was starting up.

    Hot Air’s Morrissey writes of the video clip of the show that follows that while it “sounds more like a scolding fact-check, it also acknowledges that Hunter Biden’s decision to piggyback on his dad’s state visit to China to work on his own business deal seems a little odd in retrospect. Reporter Josh Lederman cuts back across the grain to note that Hunter’s presence on the VP’s Air Force Two flight didn’t seem unusual, but that reporters didn’t know he was negotiating with bankers in China for his own profit either.”…

  15. DAILY MAIL – British envoy to New Zealand weeps as she voices ‘regret’ for Captain Cook’s crew killing native Maoris when they landed 250 years ago

    High commissioner Laura Clarke met a tribal elder with a native hongi greeting
    She expressed ‘regret’ over Maori deaths but stopped short of a full UK apology
    Nine Maori were killed in a skirmish with Cook’s men when he landed in 1769

    Britain’s envoy to New Zealand broke down in tears as she met a Maori leader yesterday and voiced her ‘regret’ that Captain Cook’s crew killed their ancestors when they landed 250 years ago.

    High commissioner Laura Clarke was overcome with emotion after acknowledging the ‘pain’ Cook’s men had caused by killing some of the first indigenous people they encountered.

    Wiping tears from her face, Ms Clarke told elders in the town of Gisborne yesterday: ‘To you, as the descendants of those killed, I offer my every sympathy.’

    Nine Maori, including a local leader, were killed in the days after Cook landed in New Zealand in 1769.

    However, Ms Clarke’s words fell short of the full apology that some had demanded from the British royal family.

    Ms Clarke was seen introducing herself to a Maori elder by pressing her nose against theirs in a greeting known as the hongi.

    She quickly became tearful after being introduced to the community, who are distantly related to those who died.

    The meeting took place near ‘Poverty Bay’ where Cook and his men docked with HMS Endeavour in October 1769.

    The envoy, 41, said after the meeting: ‘Their story needed to be told and needed to be heard… pain doesn’t diminish over time.[…]

  16. Swedish Police Warn Brutal Nigerian Mafia Gaining Foothold in Stockholm (breitbart, Oct 3, 2019)
    https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2019/10/03/swedish-police-warn-brutal-nigerian-mafia-gaining-foothold-stockholm/

    “Stockholm police have warned of the growing influence of the “Black Ax”, a Nigerian criminal gang connected to drug trafficking and prostitution involving illegal migrants.

    The Black Ax is said to be an international group which operates in several southern European countries. Fifteen members of the group were arrested this week in Gothenburg in connection to drug trafficking cases, Sveriges Radio reports.

    Earlier this week, Gothenburg police arrested 15 drug smugglers connected to an international cocaine and heroin smuggling ring, finding 115 million Swedish kronor’s ($11,647,775/£9,467,375) worth of drugs.

    Swedish customs say they seized approximately 300lbs of narcotics in total, including 110lbs of heroin. Prosecutor Anna Svedin noted that the network was based in the Netherlands and said: “Some of the defendants have links to Black Ax, but not all.”

    Lennart Karlsson, intervention manager at the Klara area in Stockholm, said that police have noted an increased presence of the Nigerian mafia in recent years. Mr Karlsson said: “The really heavy establishment has been over the last five years.”

    “The mosque here hears from us. They often meet people who have been told to come here and get contacts to get a job. But then the Black Ax members hang outside and attract them,” he continued.

    “This organisation works with both prostitution and drug trafficking,” he added.

    Karlsson labelled the Nigerian mafia “one of the world’s most effective crime syndicates” and went on to note: “So unfortunately for us, they probably have a pretty bright future.”

    The Nigerian mafia is also known to use juju, a Nigerian equivalent of voodoo, to force migrants to become drug traffickers or prostitutes. This technique has been seen elsewhere in Europe such as Spain and Italy where the Nigerian mafia also operates.

    Earlier this year, Italian police warned of the potential of Islamic radicalisation among the Nigerian mafia, saying that the influence of terrorist groups like Boko Haram was spreading among mafia members.”

  17. EDMONTON – ‘He was trying to kill them’: Crown opens case against accused in attacks on police officer, pedestrians

    A trial began Wednesday for the man accused of using a car, a U-Haul truck and a knife in attacks on multiple people including an Edmonton police officer.

    On Sept. 30, 2017, EPS Const. Mike Chernyk was hit by a car while manning a barricade outside an Edmonton Eskimos Game. Shortly after, he was stabbed multiple times.

    Later that night, police chased a U-Haul truck through the downtown area. The truck hit and seriously injured four people. They, and Const. Chernyk, all survived.

    Abdulahi Hasan Sharif, now 32, was pulled from the truck and arrested. He faces 11 charges, including five counts of attempted murder.

    In her opening statement, Crown Prosecutor Elizabeth Wheaton told the jury, “he drove into these people intentionally because he was trying to kill them.”

    Monday, the crown examined two EPS crime scene investigators. Both detailed a series of photos taken of the various crime scenes.

    Sharif has gone through several lawyers, and has now made the unusual decision to represent himself in court. The accused is listening in on proceedings with the help of a Somali translator.

    The court has appointed lawyer Greg Lazin the role of “amicus” which is Latin for “friend.” He will assist the court in ensuring Sharif gets a fair trial, but he is not representing, or taking instruction, from the accused.

    Several weeks have been set aside for the trial.

  18. Roadmap for a Chinese-Iranian Strategic Partnership

    EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Relations between Iran and China go as far back as the ancient Silk Road – but despite the recent establishment of a formal comprehensive strategic partnership between the two, Beijing’s economic, political, and strategic interests remain too complex and self-contradictory to permit a close alignment with Tehran. In the post–JCPOA era, China is likely to remain Iran’s top economic partner in the coming years, but it is a mistake to overestimate the Sino-Iranian partnership. The US’s anti-Iran policy and the sanctions that accompany it could prevent the emergence of a more solid partnership.

    The People’s Republic of China and the Islamic Republic of Iran recently established a comprehensive strategic partnership encompassing trade, energy, and production capacity cooperation. This partnership has historical ties that trace all the way back to the ancient Silk Road, and it reflects mutually complementary economic and political interests.

    In January 2016, shortly after the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) was implemented, Chinese president Xi Jinping made a successful visit to Iran during which the heads of state agreed to establish a comprehensive strategic partnership. Xi stressed that both countries are natural partners as far as the implementation of the Belt and Road Initiative is concerned. Seventeen cooperation documents centered around the new Silk Road were signed in the areas of science, technology, communications, transportation, energy, and other fields. The two sides agreed to develop a 25-year roadmap for the strategic partnership and to increase trade to $600 billion over the next 10 years. (The programs discussed in these documents are yet to be fully operational.)

  19. Schiff’s Deep State Collusion

    NY Times accidentally suggests the intelligence committee chairman’s fingerprints are all over the so-called whistleblower’s report.
    October 4, 2019
    Matthew Vadum

    Leftist conspiracy-monger Adam Schiff was aware of select details of the Ukraine-Biden allegations against President Donald Trump before a lying CIA snitch reportedly involved in the case filed a complaint under a whistleblower law, according to the intermittently reliable New York Times.

    It has been widely reported that the CIA official’s complaint was based on a July 25 telephone conversation between Trump and Ukrainian President Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky that the said stoolie somehow learned about.

    Rep. Schiff is the California Democrat, now the laughably unqualified chairman of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, a Trump-hater who spent the last three years smearing anyone who doubts the existence of his Trump-Russia electoral collusion conspiracy theory as traitors and agents of the Russian government while apparently leaking secret details of congressional investigations to his friends at CNN and elsewhere in the media at every opportunity.

    Trump stands accused by Democrats without any credible evidence whatsoever of trying to muscle the government of Ukraine into investigating a potential 2020 opponent, Joe Biden, in order to discredit his campaign.

  20. Gun Control, Knife Control, and Glass Control

    Only when guns, knives and glass bottles are banned, we’ll be safe.

    Nobody needs an AR-15. Or a handgun. Or a kitchen knife.

    “Historically, we needed a point on the end of our knife to pick up food because forks weren’t invented,” a letter from the Church of England in the Diocese of Rochester reads.

    Knives with points on them it explains are no longer needed in this modern fork-filled era.

    “Research demonstrates kitchen knives are used in a large percentage of homicides due to their availability and lethal nature,” it warns.

    A University of London researcher explained that pointed knives are obsolete and we don’t need them. Like straws, plastic bags and cars. Not to mention single family homes, trains, cows and freedom.

    Once knives with points on them are banned, then the United Kingdom will finally be safe. Unless someone figures out how to somehow put a point on the new round-ended stab-proof knives.

    Kitchen knives with rounded edges are being described as “stab-proof”. Rayware, the manufacturer, has touted its kitchen knives as being so impotent and useless that they won’t even puncture a balloon.

    General Flynn worked for the Obama Administration but at some point was fired by Obama for apparently disagreeing with his policies and actions and speaking out against his failed policies in Iraq and Syria. Soon after, then candidate Trump ran for office and General Flynn supported the future President and introduced the candidate at rallies and then was offered a position on the Trump team.

    “The Italian island of Lampedusa is under enormous strain and struggling to cope with new migrant arrivals, with its reception centre already at double capacity according to reports.

    The Mediterranean island, located to the south of Sicily, has seen a new wave of landings from Tunisia in recent weeks. On Tuesday night alone, 53 illegals landed on the island, Italian newspaper Il Giornale reports.

    The paper adds that another 80 migrants from Tunisia had arrived only days before. In total, around 300 migrants have arrived in Lampedusa in the past week.

    The local reception centre has the capacity for just 91 migrants. Now, with around 300 migrants, it is facing a crisis point. Approximately 75 of the migrants are expected to board a ferry to Agrigento, but that will still leave the reception facility with double the number of migrants it was designed for.

    Matteo Salvini, leader of the populist League and former interior minister, slammed the new leftist coalition of the Five Star Movement and the Democratic Party over the surge in new illegals.

    “In just three weeks, this leftist government has increased the landings by 152 per cent compared to the same last year,” Salvini said. He noted that there had only been 942 last year, compared to this year’s 2,400 during the same period.

    The surge of migrants comes after the Democratic Party signalled they would be reversing some of Salvini’s policies, including the closure of ports to migrant transport NGOs.

    Earlier this month, media reported that at least ten NGOs are now operating in the search and rescue (SAR) zone off of Libyan territorial waters.

    One of the NGOs, Doctors Without Borders, has managed to pick up hundreds of migrants over the last few weeks, transporting 82 to Italy in one trip during the middle of last month.”

  25. Female Isil supporter killed in row over makeshift Sharia court in Syrian camp

    A female Isil supporter was killed and seven others injured during an exchange of gunfire over a secret Sharia court set up in a Syrian camp holding displaced women and children.

    The row broke out when a group of female Isil supporters ordered that several other women in the foreigners’ section of al-Hol camp be given lashes for refusing to attend an informal Koranic studies class.

    Guards from the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces, who run the camp, intervened and opened fire after one of the Isil members pulled out a pistol that had reportedly been smuggled into the camp.

    The women claimed they had also taken hostage employees of Medecins Sans Frontieres, though this was denied by the aid agency, which said it had treated four women for gunshot wounds.

    The incident has refocused attention on the need to find a workable legal solution for the 10,000 foreigners living in squalid conditions in the camp, which holds some 73,000 displaced from former Isil territory.

    Several reports have said groups of women are attempting to impose Isil law on others in the camp.

    “The situation in [al-Hol] camp is deteriorating sharply as Daesh militants have stepped up their regrouping efforts through women in the camp recently,” said SDF spokesman Mustafa Bali. “This is going to be very dangerous in future unless governments take responsibility for their citizens.”

    Experts have repeatedly urged Western governments to repatriate their citizens and try them in their own courts, fearing a situation where the limited resources available to the authorities running the camps are overpowered.

    “The lack of action on al-Hol will certainly come back to haunt us,” said former Syria adviser to the Pentagon Jasmine El-Gamal. “This is no longer a disaster in the making; it is a full blown security threat.”

    “The longer these women are left to fester in these camps, the more difficult it will be find a durable solution for them,” Ms El-Gamal warned. “With every day comes an increasing risk of an internal prison break or external attack, meanwhile the SDF lacks the institutions and capacity to contain this mess.”

    “Our doctors should not be treating women for gunshot wounds in a closed, camp setting,” said Robert Onus, MSF emergency manager for Syria. “If we find ourselves in such a situation, something has gone terribly wrong.”

  26. Ruler of Dubai accused of attempting to ‘intimidate’ Scottish neighbours over plans to build hunting lodge on Highland estate

    Rodderick MacLeod, 70, who lives next door to the proposed lodge said: “The persistent attempts to get planning approval to build so close to my property I can only put down to intimidation, hoping to force me to have to move to leave a blank canvas for the landowners to build whatever they wish.

    “This is a land grab on the Trump scale. Is priority given to the mega rich landowner over the Highlander?”

    Mr MacLeod said plans to plant trees would “take away all light” to his property while the front windows of the lodge would overlook his home.

    Ms Jean MacRae said it was “completely inappropriate” to build the lodge “in such close proximity to your neighbour when there are acres of land at your disposal”.

    She added: “The Inverinate Estate is an area of outstanding natural beauty and as such ought to be preserved not decimated by unnecessary building work.”

  27. Rashida Tlaib Wants Segregation in Facial Recognition Because ‘Non-African Americans Think African Americans All Look the Same’

    Tlaib’s racially stereotypical remarks earned her scorn from the Detroit Police Chief

    Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) made a racially stereotypical outburst while arguing for an all-black facial recognition team in the city of Detroit on Monday.

    “Analysts need to be African Americans, not people that are not,” Tlaib said. “I think non-African Americans think African Americans all look the same. ”

    “I’ve seen it even on the House floor: People calling Elijah Cummings ‘John Lewis,’ and John Lewis ‘Elijah Cummings,’ and they’re totally different people,” Tlaib added, referencing the black Democratic Congressional leaders. “I see it all the time, and I love them because they go along with it.”

  28. Court: Univ. officials personally liable for religious discrimination

    A federal court not only found a university guilty of treating a religious student group unfairly, it ordered a vice president and other officers to pay out of their own pockets for discriminating against the group.

    “In a nutshell, the court said Start treating religious groups fairly – period,” says attorney Daniel Blomberg of Becket, the law firm representing InterVarsity. “That’s what the court had already told the University of Iowa to do – and that’s exactly what the University of Iowa didn’t do when it went after InterVarsity and kicked them and other religious student groups, including Muslim and Sikh groups, off campus because they had religious leadership standards.”

    At the same time, says the attorney, the university allowed other groups such as political groups, fraternities, and sororities to select their leaders and members based upon all sorts of criteria.

    “All that InterVarsity has ever asked for is a fair shake, to be treated equally,” Blomberg continues, “and that’s precisely what the court said the university now has to do.”

    Blomberg adds that the penalty against university officials sends a strong message.

    “I’ve sat in depositions where students have cried as they’ve been attacked by the university’s lawyers asking questions and demanding why they’re discriminators,” he explains. “You can see it in the briefing that these universities file in court, where they accuse these kids of asking for a ‘special dispensation to discriminate.’”

  29. Greece: 4 years later migrants plead freedom from “hell”

    Migrants crossing to Greece are starting to pick up again.

    The UN refugee agency (UNHCR) announced that arrivals by sea from Turkey to Greece, mostly Afghan and Syrian families, increased to 10,258 in September.

    It said this was the highest monthly total since 2016, when the EU reached an accord with Turkey to stem the flow of arrivals.

    • He says yes and no, yes it is a house of cards, no it won’t collapse to the extent that China will fall. A little further down I have posted some videos of an interview with a Chinese expat who says that in 2 years things will collapse to the point that Xi will be replaced. Something I have heard or read is telling me that if this happens China is going to have to regroup and turn more repressive, a fact that both interviewees agree on. To back this up close to the end the man above says that the US foreign trade is still growing but at a slower rate, that we are replacing the Chinese sources with other sources of manufactured goods and are finding new markets for our manufactured goods. These are sales the Chinese aren’t going to get back and our finding other markets for our goods means that after the Trade War is over China is going to have to pay a higher price to get our goods.

      One thing working in our favor is that the Chinese are very superstitious and into numerology, 2 years from now will be the 72nd anniversary of the Communists conquering China. The Soviet Union lasted 72 years so that will be in the back of the Chinese minds.

  30. How the CCP Is Manipulating the Chinese Economy & Their Country (w/ Guo Wengui and Kyle Bass)

    • More experts exposing the weak Chinese economy. The Chinese economist is saying that over (probably well over) 45% of all loans in China is bad debt. These loans to high ranking party members will never be repaid, and the money that was converted to US Dollars has been smuggled out of China and placed in Western Nations. Right not Vancouver is the favorite place for the money and the kids of the high ranking party members to migrate to. This is the capital drain that is helping destroy the Chinese Economy, the massive number of Chinese that are working to get out of China and into other nations is the genetic drain that is helping to destroy China. The CCP and to a lesser extent Imperial China discouraged innovation and drove the people who wanted to innovate and become self made businessmen. Both drains are destroying China who (until President Trump) was stealing all of the intellectual property from the US to use our innovation against us.

      With the high percentage of bad debt and the way China has printed so much money (inflating their M2) it isn’t going to take much to cause the Chinese economy to crash.
