Opinion: US-China relations sours even more…

It is like the United States own failures is used as an option to hurt Chinese Business interests. This is not only the sanctions and stopping of Huawei trading in the United States. The US has sanctioned 24 entities yesterday for their connections to the Chinese Military. Also on the same day, the US Commerce did also put sanctions on 9 companies connected to the oppression of Uighur in Xinjiang province.

That means the US has put their mission and blocks certain companies. Also ensures that these corporations or entities less traction in International trading. Just as the US Department of Commerce put it: “The Department of Commerce’s Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) announced it will add 24 governmental and commercial organizations to the Entity List for engaging in activities contrary to the national security or foreign policy interests of the United States. The entities, based in China, Hong Kong, and the Cayman Islands, represent a significant risk of supporting procurement of items for military end-use in China” (Commerce.gov, 22.05.2020).

Also, the other piece from them state this: “These nine parties are complicit in human rights violations and abuses committed in China’s campaign of repression, mass arbitrary detention, forced labor and high-technology surveillance against Uighurs, ethnic Kazakhs, and other members of Muslim minority groups in the Xinjiang Uighur Autonomous Region (XUAR). This action will supplement BIS’s first tranche of Entity List designations in October 2019 involving 28 parties engaged in the XUAR repression campaign in Xinjiang” (Commerce.gov, 22.05.2020).

Yes, the actions of China and Chinese government in concern to the Uighur people is outrageous and morally wrong. No question in my mind. The activity and the destruction of them as a minority is wrong. However, in my mind, this is using them as en excuse for US selfish reasons. This is insincere. Because, its not like the US will open the arms for immigrants fleeing similar situations elsewhere. The US is building walls and closing its borders for asylum seekers fleeing situations like the Uighurs. So, the US is using this an argument, but not a legit one from this administration.

This administration cannot even make good lies. They are so open on their motives. This is direct trade-war and efforts as a scapegoat in the midst of the tragic COVID-19 Pandemic. The US needs a scapegoat and righteously so is it fitting to blame Beijing and China. Instead of looking at own inaction and lack of concern to what happen.

The US has also already put tariffs on Chinese production and products already. Therefore, this is a continuation. However, by every step and every action. The US is losing leverage and they are also paying the price. They need to go elsewhere for trading similar things. If not pay more, as they are stopping certain parts of imports from there.

The Chinese are doing their wrongs too. Nevertheless, the Foreign Affairs wrote this yesterday, which state it perfectly: We urge the US side to abandon its Cold War mentality and ideological bias, follow the trend of the times, view China and China-US relations in an objective and rational way, immediately stop interfering in China’s internal affairs, harming China’s interests or undermining China-US relations, and work with China to bring bilateral relations back onto the right track” (Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Zhao Lijian’s Regular Press Conference on May 22, 2020).

This here says it all. Yes, the relations is based on both parties gives and takes. However, right now, the reality is that the one aiming and hitting one party. Is the US whose shooting down and tracing their targeted companies or entities. Just like last years tariffs and such, which has also slowed things down. The US is doing this and the Chinese has retaliated. This will continue. Just like the Chinese banned certain journalists and media houses within the Republic. That is all natural in the sense of the relations between them.

This is all hostile. There is not function or care. The US President says everything is China’s fault. While he hasn’t carried water for happen within his own borders. Therefore, that isn’t a fair assessment. It is an easy victimhood in this pandemic. Yes, the origin was from China. They didn’t do enough and do it correctly. Still, the US didn’t care about the warning signs either or did what they should have done. That is the 20/20 hindsight, which deems both parties wrong in the sense of acting in accordingly to the danger of COVID-19.

However, this is about the trade war. Where for every step the US is attacking and targeting companies of Chinese origin. They have to release proof of these allegations now. Especially, the list of Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD). Where the Commerce Secretary says these companies are connected with this. If so, I would like to see proof and leaked documentation of sensitive intelligence. To actually prove the allegations. If not, the US is just using their power and means to kick the Chinese. Because, it is useful to have an enemy in this troubling time.

The Chinese is far from perfect and their reign within the One-Party state isn’t peaceful nor democratically anything to aspire too. Nevertheless, the US isn’t that great on this either. Especially, the way Trump Administration is just another epitome of baroque king-pin from the Big-Apple and Trump tower in New York. That is why these measures has to be explained to be believable.

The US cannot con the world anymore. They could in the past, but not now. This US-China Trade-War is only proving what sort of hostile force it is. Instead of finding diplomatic measures or even doing the hard work of talks between the parties. It is easier to sanction and block someone, than actually do the work. That is how it seems. They are using excuses and arguments of legit reasons to do something. But, a very important but, they are not proving the reasons for doing so.

If these companies are what they claim. Prove it and show it. Unless, they hare having a smokescreen and another visionary moment similar to the Iraqi WMDs in the early 2000s. Well, I’m looking forward to see that.

Until then, this is a propaganda victory for the Trump Administration with no hold in reality. Since, they are just blocking someone without any proof. They could say whatever and argue for it. Still, a man like me wants reasons for it.

Unless, they are just finding fitting measures to pressure Beijing, but that is not something they can do too long. Because, Washington D.C. doesn’t have that much leverage. Since, for every step they do. There is less of a reason for the Chinese to serve or even work in association with the US anyway. Peace.

Opinion: Freeing Lt. Gen. Flynn is injustice

Today, there is news of dropping charges on former Trump advisor and National Security Advisor Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn. He was an illegal foreign agent for Turkey, lied about his meetings with Russian agents and connections to the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI). Therefore, the prolonged case and change of stance is now bearing fruits.

As the Trump Administration has its third Attorney General William Barr and his willing to be water-boy of the President instead of being an independent judiciary. Whose now serving the President’s will blindly.

To free Michael Flynn would be something dictators do to free their men from the tolls of the law. Especially, since he was serving as the part of the Trump Campaign and Trump Transitional Team before becoming the National Security Advisor. All of that was happening while he was doing shady back-door communication with both Turkey and Russia. Something he pleaded guilty to the Special Counsel Robert Mueller in November 2017.

So, its not like he haven’t already pleaded guilty to the crime of being an foreign agent without registration. Also, the statement of the Offense from 30th November 2017 says it all. However, AG Barr doesn’t seem to care. That people are willing to risk selling out information to Russian ambassadors and such. Not caring that Flynn was working for Turkey in the US. That is what this is signalling. As the US is supposed to go to the poll in November 2020.

This shows contempt of the law. Another proof that the Republican Party and President Trump doesn’t value rule of law. The law is only for their enemies and not for them. The law is only a tool for immigrants, but not for the ones whose made men like Flynn.

We are seeing the standard and the way they operate. The man was going to sentencing, but has been postpone for about two years now. They are now dropping the charges. While he was a man who broke the law, who did it knowingly and a man who served as a high ranking official.

That sort of man is dangerous and still he will be freed to the streets. A petty thief would linger in jail, heck a slinger of crack be decomposed in the pen. While this man who betrayed the Republic will walk free. That shows the merits of America under Trump or to correct it. The value of rule of law in Trump’s White AmeriKKKa. Because, this is who they are and what they will do.

Expect something to happen with Manafort and all the other cohorts whose already in jail. When they can touch Flynn who pleaded guilty. They can find ways to fix the others too. It is just a matter of time. Rule of law and justice is only a mirage for these folks. The codes of laws are only for the common man, not for the made ones. Peace.

Kushner’s delusional narrative: Success is apparently utter failure…

The federal government rose to the challenge and this is a great success story” – Jared Kushner on Fox and Friends on the 29th April 2020

I don’t know if this Senior Presidential Advisor, Son-in-Law and close associate with the President, Jared Kushner is delusional or even stupid. Maybe, his a mix of both. The only difference between him and the President. Is that he can make coherent sentences and actually not sound like a toddler when he speaks on the microphone. However, that shouldn’t be enough to be a part of various of important roles within the administration and neither have the hand in so many projects.

Kushner supposed to solve the Israel-Palestine conflict. His supposed to fix the opioid epidemic and so fourth. Jared was to go-to-guy in the White House. The man the President called, before he calls the Ghostbusters. He has Jared numbers on speed-dial and he comes running like a dog for a bone. That just who Jared is.

So, with the knowledge of that, the trusted hack and family member is clearly a part of the COVID-19 Task Force and also Re-Open America Council too. Because, there is nothing this man cannot do or cannot understand. Jared is the ultimate genius, the man who make Einstein look like a spoiled brat and is the most loyal of them all. Kushner is so loyal that he can never betray Trump. That’s why his everywhere.

With that in mind. His the back-up, the man who toys with all of the pet pees of the President. He now says on Fox News ‘Fox and Friends’ that the response and works of the Trump Administration is a success story. Which is foolish, dumb and mind-numbingly arrogant. Knowing that there 60,000 people who died of this and over 1,000,000 cases. There is not sufficient testing, not enough PPE and not a coherent plan for ventilators to the various of states. The patchwork and love-thy-President scheme isn’t how a functioning government works. However, the Trump Administration is running like that.

Your just awaiting a knock-off Godfather person – “I’ll Give You an Offer – He cannot refuse”. So, if the Governor refuses to kiss the ring. Than, his citizens dies, and if he does he loses all self-respect. Because, this is government and not gangsters. No matter if the soft-ball and sleaze-ball of President thinks so. He wants favours, and they supposed to trade that like Besties. Well, that is not how its supposed to work either.

Therefore, Kushner is brazen in this. Foolish and obnoxious. Not that its new from him. Just the new normal. The low bar of moral and work ethic. That is why his even there and is allowed to be there. Because, there is no standard approach, no care for procedure nor protocol. Only, the narrow mindedness of the President and his men. Who was golfing and campaigning. Not following advice, memos or anything else.

They were skipping by and not acting upon the worries of CDC or any other advisor. Just looking into vaping and whatever else the donors of the GOP needed fixed. Since, that is how you stay ahead. Now, they can only bleach the messages and hope they are not poisoning the crowds with false information. However, that is what the White House does and therefore, propaganda peddling on Fox News will not change the reality.

The Trump administration failed. Kushner, Pence and Trump all failed. It was doomed from the get-go. Trump doesn’t have it in him. He only wants to watch TV, play golf and dismantle everything that Obama did. Therefore, they couldn’t win. They had already a losing hand before starting. Because, the even got rid of Pandemic team within the Administration, because Obama started it. So, there was no will or intent to act upon it. That is why all sort of miracle cures has to come and make it vanish.

Well, the only thing that can vanish is a water-stain on a table, not a virus like this and clearly not the way this administration does it. They will make a second come quick. The way they force re-openings. Not like there haven’t been heartache and pain. Well, that suffering isn’t hitting the White House nor GOP hacks. So, they can let it all go.

Calling this a success. I understand that Trump has bankrupted things and called himself the kings of loans. Therefore, having a record amount of death in peace-time and massive amount of people sick is victory. Surely, what will be a defeat with these guys? Peace.

Opinion: Trump has bleached his message

We know that Trump isn’t a doctor, he has sold Vodka, Stakes, ruined casinos, ran a fake University and was a Reality TV Star before he run for Office. So, its not like the man has any capacity or idea of how an pandemic is working. He is still only looking into TV Ratings, instead of the needs of the Health Care System. That is the mere reality of the US right now.

Donald J. Trump is a hack, he is a snake-oil salesman, who will soon use the government system to sell vitamins through the White House. That is the sort of man he is and if not, one of his family members will exploit the situation. If not Jared will do something to gain out of the little window opened by the old man in the Oval Office.

So, with this week statement, he continues his reckless behaviour. He has done this for weeks for now. He has sold a medicine, he has invested in and ensured the ones with lupus and malaria doesn’t get the medicine. There been small testing, but not a scientific systematic testing of it towards the COVID-19 or Coronavirus.

This is the second in line, as he sold that medicine for so long as a cure without proof. Now, he comes with bleach or disinfectant into injection to clean your system. That sounds like a health care disaster. It is a reason why the labels and companies writes that its not drink this or get it in the eyes. However, the cleaning material is for the floors, furniture and whatnot to clean the surface, but not digest.

President Trump is reckless, when the producers of Lysol and Dettol is stating “Please don’t drink our cleaning products”. When they got to this in 2020 you know you have issues. The ones who does going to get poisoned … and that shouldn’t be a thing, but apparently it is. There are even reports of some who has done it and who knows how it will go with them.

Donald is risking people’s lives, because he wants them to injection of bleach. So, this is a continued aspiration of the President. Instead of securing the public, getting good advice from experts and the ones who has knowledge of pandemics. However, he listens to his gut feelings and his profit margins. That is what he does, lives doesn’t matter, as long as the President and his men is earning profits.

That is how it seems. That is why the President can even send Ventilators to Russia, but couldn’t do that on behalf of the Stockpile to the hard-hit states. As they were all on their own, and they were a back-up. Surely, seems by the remarks, the Washington DC is a backup to New York, but a close friend of Mother Russia. How could people forget that?

So, now that he has bleached the message, configured the means and instead of using his means. Instead of securing the states and their needs within the crushing spread of the virus. He is instead awaiting praise and kissing the ring. Because, if you do, you might get some favours your way, but if you kick and scream like the Head of State – you get none. That is what the world also learned. His the next Wannabe Tin-Pot Dictator who uses time on the greens, instead of doing work in his office. That is what he does and why he loves himself. He doesn’t care if people dies, unless that is Ivanka. Then he would mourn and call it a tragedy.

Donald has misused his office, they are now downplaying the remarks, but when companies have to send out extra warnings. You know people follow him like blind sheep. You should be able to not microwave your cat, even if it doesn’t say so on the package. Still, there are people who would do that. Just like some are drinking or injecting the bleach. It shouldn’t be a thing, but it is.

If you find this dumb. Then your on the money. However, people are dumber and dumber, apparently. President Trump and his team shouldn’t just call it sarcastic, because it wasn’t. His not doing his bid for SNL or Stephen Colbert. His the God Damn President and its a reason why people are reporting his words and his remarks. Therefore, he should be careful. But it wasn’t sarcastic. Since, he never is, but a human being lacking emotions or care. That is how this President operates.

Donald should act differently, but he cannot do that. His an old dog and that dog cannot learn new tricks. That is proven. Peace.

Opinion: The Council to Re-Open America is a mix of nepotism, patronage and cronyism all-in-one

There been leaks on the Officials on the Council to Re-Open America. The White House, the Trump Administration new strategic group to ensure a safeguarding the opening of the market. Opening of the Republic after lockdowns, stay-at-home-orders and whatnot. However, the promise of a expert filled and promising team of individuals are something you have to look far after.

First is the appointments of the cronies, the family members with no unique talents or skills. Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner. They are playing government and looking for the next pay-check.

Than you have Wilbur Ross, Larry Kudlow, Steve Mnuchin and Robert Lightizer, whose the money-team of the Administration. Their only concern is the market and how the economy is working. These individuals wouldn’t care if the streets was filled bodies and in a originalities state. There could be blood on the streets and vampires at night. As long as the bloodsucker’s at Wall Street and Corporate America is pocketing the mighty dollars. They wouldn’t care one minute of the toils, the depression or the devastations the citizens are going through. What matters is the bottom-line and eventual profit margins for the high and mighty.

Last person on this Council is the fourth Chief of Staff in the White House Mark Meadows, whose the right voice in the White House and Republican. Who has voted blindly for the views and for Team Trump in the House of Representatives. That is why his the man of the moment and gets appointed to this Council as well.

When people say the United States government right now is run like a Banana Republic and failed state. This sort of Council proves it. It is cronyism, patronage and nepotism blended into one Council. None of this men are qualified to follow any metrics of the pandemic. They have no education or nor skill in Health Care. This are not PHD in medics or anything. This is are economists, hawks and patrons of the President. That is why the advice these people give will be based on profits and possible kickbacks. Not, if it is wise to open the floodgates or not.

This is the proof of how mismanaged and rotten DC is at the moment. As Ivanka and Jared will be part of a team, whose sole objective is find excuses to re-open United States. To find solutions and ways to get the states to stop their lockdowns and stay-home orders. Since, this is the initial plan. To figure out a way to solve the crisis and reconfigure the failing economy. The unemployment and the rising poverty. Which is caused by the closure, the pandemic and the lack of proper planning ahead of the crisis. That is a screw-up, this administration did all on it s own and now the same cadres supposed to issue attempts to change that.

The governors has put these orders in place and are following state rules doing so. They are doing it by all means to stagger the COVID-19 by all means they have. While the White House has acted as a cheerleader, back-up and not as Federal Government. They have been on the back-burner. However, when it comes to financial objectives, not the health of its citizens. Then they suddenly want to act like a Federal Body and have a Council who put in place needed advice and guidelines for the state. Which is rich, as they are back-up and have their own stockpile, which is not for the states.

We have learned a lot since January 2020 about the lack of preparation, not taking warnings. Not acting rational. Not following advice and dismantling Obama’s Pandemic Team within the White House, because everything Obama gives Trump the Heebie-jeebies and therefore, he got shut it down.

We are now seeing the team of nepotism, patronage and cronyism in full effect. Don’t expect magic, don’t expect any results and only more hurt. These people are all there for the praise and glory of the President. Also for another pay-check, but that is it. Peace.

Opinion: Trump wants to be the man on the moon

If you believed they put a man on the moon

Man on the moon” R.E.M. – ‘Man on the Moon’ 1992

We are in the middle of a Coronavirus / COVID-19 epidemic crisis in the Republic and Worldwide. What does the President Trump and his team do? They write up a Executive Order to Mine the Moon. This is not a skit from Saturday Night Live. The Trump Administration is clearly showing their mismanaged ways with this.

This EO was written and published on the 6th April 2020. At a time the death numbers are rising, the amount of cases of COVID-19 is spiralling out. The United States of America is in the midst of crisis the Trump administration cannot handle. That is why the President is holding erratic press conferences. Instead of governing, because that takes work, listening to advice of experts and actually using the institutions that is there too.

Trump could have used the Defence Act to get the US companies to produce the needed ventilators, PPE equipment and everything else needed for the crisis. However, Trump only did that once to one Company and did it super late. Also, he never listened to warnings for months. Neither, did he use the Pandemic Team, which he dismantled and also cut the funds to the CDC. Therefore, it was a perfect storm.

That is why now has made a random Task Force, but its more a display team of loyal cronies and family members, than experts doing their duties. Because, if they try to, they will be stopped by infighting and lack of coordination. There is no coordination between FEMA, CDC and the White House. It is a patchwork attempt to beat an enemy. Which Trump neither understands or grasps.

He even cannot show real emotions, as he wants people to forget the ones that dies. He writes this as he written an Executive Order to Mine on the Moon. Stop International Treaties in Space. Because, the possible prospects of Fortunes on a far away Moon is better than nothing. Even if the ability or industrial efforts is at bare minimum. Unless, he has some alien forefathers that got the Tesseract to amplify the production of NASA.

Trump is misguided and lacks skills of governing, that he does this in the midst of a pandemic. That the President issues this and priorities this as citizens dies. As hospitals are struggling and the pandemic creates lockdowns all across the Republic. That a President wants to play George Lucas and Han Solo.

Instead here we are, we’re seeing this nonsense. Seeing the acts of mischief and distaste. A man who rather golf and score babes, than actually govern. A man who cares more about ratings on TV, than on saving lives. More about quick profits for his companies, than delivering life-saving policies. That is the President of the USA.

Why care for people, when you can eat cheese on the moon with Wallace and Gromit. Peace.

Opinion: Biden is lukewarm coffee

There are some things in life, which isn’t fair neither as we suspect it be. Someone who was associated with the good times of President Barrack Obama. Being his Vice-President, Senator and everything else. There should be ways to see him finesse his ways to become Head of State and President. However, this man doesn’t cut it. Not at this junction.

Joe Biden the Presidential Candidate and front-runner in the Democratic Party has the enthusiasm as lukewarm coffee. It is nether steaming hot-coffee straight from the tap or the coffee-maker. It isn’t either ice-coffee with sweet sugar and milky flavour. It is a coffee that has been forgotten, put on a table or the counter. Therefore, the coffee isn’t as warm it should be. You put it there and didn’t care about it.

Just like that is Biden. No matter that he has a long track-record working for the corporate establishment, that his been a main-stay and been a safe-bet for them. So, its not like his been working directly for Joe-Blow. No, Joe has been a safe one for the needs of Corporate America. That is why his pushed by the Mainstream Media, who earns capital from the same Corporate America. They are working in tandem to get him in, because that is a safer bet than having Bernie Sanders.

However, by doing so, they are pushing a weaker, lukewarm coffee against Donald Trump. A Donald who has a party behind him and a cult-following within his ranks. People can die, people can suffer, but they will still follow him. The Scientology of Politics is what Trump is.

When your supposed to go against that type of grain, you need strength, a motive and message. You need a to be vibrant and able to beat the hypocrisy of Trump. Also able to undress him and show how his not doing everything his promising. That is that is what is needed to do.

Biden cannot reach new voters, neither spark a change to gather new following. Unless, you a K-Mart CEO or Wall-Mart Corporate Associate, than you have a deal, but that is a small margin. The public, the activists are not running around and considering Biden. Biden has only people around him, because he can pay them. He can fake following, but that will not be a natural surge.

Biden cannot manage nor sound like a profound human being. His like a Democratic Mike Pence. We don’t need another Mike Pence. Mike Pence is the ass-kisser and the jester of the White House. Biden should want to be more, except his not. Joe can say “Malarkey” and try to act to the people now. His team and himself isn’t able to fit the narrative of the time. That is why New York Governor Andrew Cuomo get more a natural flair because of the address to the public.

Cuomo has taken the national stage and eaten it. He has shown capacity and ability to stay strong in the midst of struggle. In this current time and pandemic. His voice of reason and reality check has been sincere. The acts of Biden seems more like cheap-shots and political game-planning as he hasn’t stopped elections nor tried to avoid primaries. Instead let it go ahead, as the social distancing is destroyed by it. The DNC and the Biden camp has accepted this. While Bernie has spoken out that he would have postponed it. That is why Biden cannot even do that right, because he rather have the votes, than make sure the DNC supporters are safe.

That plus his whole persona is uninteresting. Neither is his policies or changes. His a moderate, old-school politician, whose for the corporate America, but not for the public. Unless, you want the Ghost-Persons voting for you. Than, the DNC should consider someone else. Biden doesn’t cut it.

How can this man, with the lukewarm enthusiasm be able to beat a cult? That’s not happening. Everyone can see that, but maybe the reality has to hit them again … because the Democratic Party should know better. However, I don’t expect it. They gave way for Hillary, they could do the same for Joe. Even if that is losing before you even start playing. Peace.

USA: 4 Senators letter to the Cheif Executive Officer Christian Swing of Deutsche Bank on the Trump Organization (07.04.2020)
