This is a very strange thing. In decades of exposure to Chinese people and in nearly 20 years of living in China, I still cannot understand this nor have I found anyone who can explain it to me. I will provide first a bit of background.
It’s no secret that Chinese factories still turn out a large volume of lower-quality goods, although these are not always done the way we would imagine. There are no Chinese salesmen coming to the US to offer Wal-Mart cheap, throwaway frying pans. In real life, Wal-Mart, with its massive purchasing power, sets in advance the technical standards for every product appearing on its shelves. They decide the quality of the metal, the coatings, the fasteners, the quality of the paper for the packaging, everything, then they travel to China to find a factory to produce that specific item at the lowest cost. And they will beat a factory on the head with a stick for a reduction of half a cent. So, for most of the Chinese junk you see in the supermarkets, don’t blame “China”; blame Wal-Mart or others similar. Factories in China are in business to produce whatever a customer wants and will pay for.
Having said that, there is still a remainder of low-quality goods being made by low-quality factories hiring low-quality people. I suppose that’s life. Maybe it exists in every country, though Germany might be an exception.
At the top end, China can produce goods of any kind to the highest standards necessary. Almost all the famous European luxury brands have their products made in China, including LV and Mercedes-Benz, and the quality is outstanding. So there are indeed factories in China that can make truly excellent products, second to none.
Chinese factories make wings for Airbus. I think we can assume the manufacturing standards for these are a bit higher than for the frying pans at Wal-Mart. As well, China designed and manufactured its own moon lander and Mars lander, and they worked flawlessly. Even if you want to pretend that China “stole” the IP for the landers from the US – which they didn’t – looking at a blueprint and actually landing and roving around on the moon, are two very different things.
So, Chinese factories are a very large mixed bag that can produce almost anything to (apparently) almost any quality standard necessary. And in all of this, there is no particular “buyer beware” caution. Generally, you get what you pay for; higher quality means higher costs and higher prices. No secrets there.
But it is in this that I find a strange disease I cannot understand. I will explain.
但正是在这一点上,我发现了一种我无法理解的奇怪疾病。我会解释的。
In a leather shop in Haining we have a long discussion with the owner to make a leather jacket. We settle on all the details, the price, the timing, and all goes well. The jacket is produced on time, and it is lovely. Beautiful leather, nicely crafted, great stitching, all the cute little pockets. Everything is as it should be, and the jacket wasn’t cheap; many thousands of RMB to produce what was wanted. But the owner thought he would save one dollar and use a really cheap zipper that breaks after a week, and the lovely new jacket is useless until someone replaces the zipper.
We have a lovely new pair of shoes, custom-made, with very fine leather and immaculate craftsmanship. Also very expensive; several thousand RMB. But the owner decides to save ten cents and installs the cheapest pair of shoelaces he can buy. And of course they break the first time they are used so the new shoes are useless.
We have a pearl farm assemble a string of pearls that is remarkable for the matching of the colors and the quality of the pearls. Color is a difficult thing because hundreds of pearls can be almost – but not quite – the same exact color, so a good farm will sort through literally thousands of pearls to find 50 or 60 that are identical. And the pearls themselves are exquisitely round and flawless, the string again costing in the thousands. But the manager decides to save twenty-five cents and will install the cheapest clasp he can buy. And of course, it breaks after the second use.
I could go on, but you get the idea and you understand the problem. I have seen this in so many categories, where a very fine and expensive product is made to high standards and using the best materials, but where one or two small details are sacrificed that spoil everything. And it isn’t rational. Why, on a $3,000 jacket, would you want to save $1 on a zipper? Why, on a $5,000 string of pearls, would you want to save 25 cents on a clasp? Why would you want to save ten cents on the shoelaces for a $700 pair of shoes?
It is the irrationality that puzzles me. It makes no sense. In any product, we generally use a common quality standard for all components. We don’t pack costume jewelry in a $50 box, and we don’t put a $25,000 wristwatch in a Taco Bell paper bag. Except in China.
Because this seems widespread, or at least not uncommon, I categorise it as some kind of unnamed disease. I don’t think it’s contagious and I don’t believe it’s hereditary, but it isn’t exactly rare, and I am completely baffled as to the cause. The consequences are not fatal, but they are certainly annoying. I cannot fathom the thinking that must underly these actions and, as I said above, I haven’t found anyone who can explain this to me.
In the end, quality is in the details, but this concept seems to be missing in some portion of Chinese manufacturing. I have a suspicion this trait is related to what we might call ‘old mindset thinking’ from the nation’s poorer days. If so, I would expect this to change rapidly because the new generation is quite demanding on quality, and surprisingly (to me) unforgiving. A few years back, P&G in China made the mistake of surreptitiously degrading the quality of many of their products while leaving prices the same. Chinese consumers detected the degradation almost instantly and abandoned P&G in droves, flocking back to domestic products they felt offered better value. P&G have been struggling in China ever since. The honeymoon is certainly over for foreign companies in China and I believe the same unforgiving attitudes will now apply to domestic firms.

One of the greatest frauds ever perpetrated on consumers is the branding of consumer products, a practice created almost entirely in the US, achieving significance only from an overwhelming flood of abusive psychological propaganda and advertising. In probably no other place did American corporations and ad agencies apply Bernays’ psychiatric propaganda methods of public manipulation with more bloodthirsty determination than in their creation of the fiction of branding, and in no other country are brands treated with the reverence they are in the US.
In real life, a brand is nothing. It is only a name that has no value other than for product identification. Any value is in the product itself, but the large firms have spent literally tens of billions of dollars to convince Americans and the world otherwise. Everything we have been told and taught about brands is a lie, what someone called “meticulous landscaping” of the consumer environment. To a consumer, there is no value in a brand. The relation between a product and its brand is identical to that of a steak and its sizzle, but the brand has been cleverly drilled into our minds as the definitive element containing utility and value. Just as these same firms concluded many decades earlier that if people would pay for sizzle there was no need to provide the steak, they later correctly concluded that if customers would pay for a brand there was no need to provide a product, at least not of any commensurate value. The sizzle has no value; its only function is to stimulate our emotions to desire. Similarly, a brand has no value, but branding has been abused to serve only as a kind of psychological deceit.
It is a story well-known and often told that in areas of the US all tomatoes from all farms in a large geographical area are delivered to the same factory, where they are all mixed together, washed, cooked and put into cans. On the morning shift, the cans are affixed with a low-price generic label for one customer, while in the afternoon the same tomatoes from the same farms in the same cans on the same production line will have another firm’s “premium” label pasted on them, and appear on supermarket shelves at 150% to 200% of the price of those from the morning shift. The magic of branding.
To most large multinational companies today, this is the real value of a “brand” – the power to give consumers the same or less, but charge much more. We have been trained through fear and uncertainty to believe that a lower-price product is substandard or perhaps even toxic, and our uncertainty pushes us to the “premium” brands even though there is nothing premium about them except the price. So-called “luxury” products are even worse. Marketers boast that companies like LV and Apple can charge two or three times the price of another product equal in quality in every way, so you can see why these firms spend so much money on “branding”: it gives them the ability to charge more and more while giving customers less and less.
The entire concept of brands was conceived and desperately promoted because it was a license to steal, indoctrinating a gullible public with clever propaganda contrived to defraud consumers with myths of quality and status and deceive them into paying ten times the value of a product. One obvious category is personal care products like cosmetics and shampoos. Any executive of any FMCG or cosmetics firm will tell you privately that in spite of a price differential of four or five times there is virtually no difference in content or value between their lowest and highest priced products. They will also confess in private that a wash-cloth and soap will do more for your face and your complexion than will their skin-care products. In China, excellent shampoos like Bee & Flower are available for 10 yuan per bottle, but when a P&G or a Unilever put their “brand” on it, foolish consumers will pay 50 yuan for identical or often substandard content.
Think of laptop computers. All are similar, all perform more or less identical functions, usually with variations only in small features, and all are of a similar price. But we happen to prefer the features of a Dell or a Lenovo over others, and the brand name serves only for identification – which is as it should be. But Apple, with their clever niche marketing strategy, again following Bernays’ psychiatric manipulations to the letter, can charge 50% more for an equivalent product. It is true that Apple products usually have nice features, but that isn’t the issue because those features are virtually cost-free. Apple’s excessive prices are due to brand manipulation, not to value.
Wide ranges of foodstuffs and small consumer products follow the same pattern. Consumers in China pay 50% more for Nestlé bottled water than for other brands, because manipulative advertising has led trusting consumers to believe a well-known brand must be of higher quality, but there is no evidence this is the case, and I have seen considerable evidence that often the opposite is true, a number of media reports claiming that much of Nestlé’s water comes directly from the tap. In 2013 and 2014, rumors were swirling in China that P&G had significantly degraded the quality content of most of its popular products while maintaining its high prices. It seems consumers detected the product degradation and flocked back to domestic brands; P&G have been struggling in China ever since. Capitalism, the drive for profit maximisation, greed, and a lack of business ethics will too often lead to this eventual result, with the most respected brands often being the worst sinners in this regard. American advertisers spent generations and billions of dollars to manipulate consumers into the foolish thesis that they should pay more for the name on a product than for the product itself.
The advertising tricks are exceedingly simple – and intended only for the simple-minded. Face creams and cosmetics are sold by a simple attachment of the face of a movie star to the product. Sport shoes and other apparel are sold by linking the items to a sports hero. In neither case do the stars actually use the products, these ‘celebrity endorsements’ being fundamentally dishonest. All TV ads should begin with a disclaimer informing viewers that this film or sports hero has never used the product being advertised, but has agreed to link his or her name to the product for a payment of $10 million. Any advertiser will confirm that intelligent people are more or less immune to these celebrity ads, but that they have a powerful effect on the portion of the population that is below average in intelligence.
Once again, a brand is nothing but a name that has no value other than for product identification. Any value is in the product itself. The entire concept of brands and branding is a huge lie. Every product and service has an inherent value, which factor should be almost the entire determination of their selling prices.
Think of a man’s shirt. A simple polyester shirt cut to a simple pattern, with no tailoring, might sell for only 40 yuan in China ($8.00). The same shirt made of low-grade cotton has a higher value and utility and might sell for 100 yuan. Progressing to a high grade of cotton might increase it to 150 yuan. Cutting the shirt to more complicated and fitted patterns, with accurate size variations for collar size and sleeve length might place the price at 200 or 250 yuan. Adding fine details like extensive pre-shrinking, double-stitching, extra cutting and care with collar and cuffs, tapering and so on, could double the price again. Extra fine quality cotton and the highest quality of workmanship and an absence of even the smallest defects, might push the price to perhaps 1,000 yuan for those who care about these details – and I do admit these finest fabrics, workmanship and details deserve appreciation and add to the pleasure of wearing fine clothing. But there is nothing you can do to a man’s shirt to justify pushing the price beyond about 1,000 yuan ($200), because there simply is no possible added value beyond this level. When you pay 5,000 yuan ($1,000) for a man’s shirt that carries a famous brand, you are receiving 1,000 yuan of product value and paying 4,000 yuan for the ‘name’. The magic of branding.
The brand marketers have so successfully promoted their twisted psychological agenda that we are made to feel proud and successful and superior when we wear their brand, but how foolish do you have to be, to believe this? Wearing a ‘Brand A’ shirt that costs $200 leaves us feeling ‘ordinary’, but an identical shirt containing no more added value from ‘Brand B’ for which we pay five times the price, leaves us feeling superior and proud. Why does that make sense to you? Overpaying by 500% for a shirt is not an occasion for pride, certainly not in our intelligence and, like it or not, we are still just as ‘ordinary’ as before. And poorer. We need to understand that pasting somebody’s brand name on our forehead does not make us either a better person or an object of envy.
I once had a long discussion over a coffee with a clerk from an LV store in Shanghai, and her assessment was this: “When I see a man paying 5,000 yuan for one of our shirts, I don’t think “Gee, he’s rich.” I think, “God, he’s stupid.” You might care to think about this.
Similarly, an LV handbag is just a bag and, even when well-made with good materials, it probably isn’t worth more than about 500 yuan ($100). The same is true for a piece of LV luggage that sells for 20,000 or 30,000 yuan ($5,000), surely 20 times the actual value of the product. And what benefit do we receive from this outrageous expense? A foolish and unjustified self-pride and the assumed envy of the 3,000 people at the airport who couldn’t care less about either us or our luggage. We might just as well stand on a podium in a public square, holding up our little treasure to the view of thousands of complete strangers, and yell out, “Look at me! Do you know how much I paid for this?”
This is precisely the mentality contained in that piece of luggage and in its advertising – emotionally immature and mentally defective. And that’s brand marketing. If we were to create a list of personal characteristics for which we would like to be noticed or admired, or appreciated, by friends and colleagues, that list would begin with items of our character, personal integrity, our personality. The brand name of our luggage or shirt labels wouldn’t even be on that list. Or at least, they shouldn’t be. And few of us would care about the opinions of our luggage by complete strangers at the airport. If you are one of those people who draws his confidence or sense of personal importance and self-worth from displaying a brand name on clothing or other personal effects, you might want to re-examine your sense of values.
On the same note, apparel items like Levi’s or Calvin Klein blue jeans are neither premium nor luxury, but the same plain denim blue jeans we wear when we feed the pigs on the farm. They should sell for less than 250 RMB in China, about $40 in the US, because that’s all they’re worth.
As well, there is no such thing as “super-premium” ice cream, no matter what Häagen-Dazs tries to tell you. They use the plain, ordinary ingredients that should go into every ice cream (but often don’t), then charge ten times what it’s worth. In any case, Italian gelato is infinitely superior to this Danish-sounding Jewish-American concoction. And much cheaper.
Never knowing when to quit, Americans have applied branding psychiatry to everything including their universities, to the point where your tuition fees at Harvard are 15% educational product and 85% brand sizzle. The same applies to most every American product area, selling sizzle with very little underlying product, all following the principles laid down by Bernays many decades before.
Americans are also very clever at re-branding their goods to take advantage of an inexperienced, gullible and trusting public. US-based luggage manufacturer Samsonite read somewhere that Chinese people like luxury goods, so they decided to pretend their McDonald’s luggage was a luxury brand, mostly by just increasing their prices by five times. It hasn’t yet occurred to Samsonite that a luxury product must actually be luxurious. Pizza Hut in the US is junk food like KFC, but has been re-branded in China as high-end dining. It isn’t. It’s a McDonald’s that sells bad pizza.
Rolls-Royce have done something similar in China, charging about five times their prices in the West, then dealing with the violent consumer backlash by attributing the excessive cost to (non-existent) “Chinese taxes”. Their biggest lie was claiming they make “no more profit” on a car sale in China than in the UK or US.
In the meantime, General Motors is profiting hugely from another re-branding scam, the fabricated tale of how Buicks were “popular with China’s leaders” when they were no such thing, Buick’s entire presence in China being nothing more than an historical fluke. A car was gifted to Pu Yi, China’s last Emperor, and eventually ended in the hands of Zhou Enlai who, according to the fabricated myth, loved the car as “the pride of his collection”. The hell he did. The car may have held sentimental value for its prior owner but evidence is thin to non-existent that either the Emperor or Zhou held that car in any esteem, and certainly not for its unreliability and countless other bad habits. Today, General Motors brought their crappy Buick automobiles to China, linked them with a gift of another crappy car given to someone 100 years ago, and re-branded it as venerated political history. And far too many Chinese are falling for this scam.
Swarovski “crystal” is another hugely successful lipstick-on-a-pig branding exercise. Swarovski is a Jewish-European firm that began life as a small company making cheap costume jewelry and who then used their accumulated knowledge of glass to make excellent optics for binoculars and telescopes. The imagining and marketing of their “crystal” costume jewelry is a relatively recent development.
In the real world of gemstones, “crystal” refers to natural quartz, a common crystalline mineral that produces some truly beautiful colors. In natural crystal, the atoms are arranged in a highly-ordered structure, forming a lattice that we see in diamonds, snowflakes and table salt. Most other elements have no structure at all, items like melted wax or plastic – or glass. Swarovski “crystals”, on the other hand, are not “crystal”, they are not natural, and they are certainly not “gemstones”. Swarovski’s so-called crystals are glass. Plain, ordinary, cheap, glass. The irritating fad surrounding Swarovski and their mythical crystals is nothing more than clever marketing, with people paying ridiculous sums of money for grossly overpriced and fragile costume jewelry made of cheap glass. For the prices paid for many of Swarovski’s products, one can easily purchase genuine semi-precious stones. Swarovski company advertising tells us, “The company’s name has become synonymous with genuine crystal.” Yes, and that’s the problem, because Swarovski have so heavily advertised their glass costume jewelry as ‘crystal’, leading most people to believe they are purchasing some kind of natural, genuine gemstone. But all they are getting, is glass. The designs may be pretty, but it’s still just cheap, ordinary glass.
And last, but not least, people everywhere, but especially Chinese, need to know that Nescafé is not coffee. It is nothing. Less than nothing. Nescafé is ‘instant coffee’, which is a chemically freeze-dried concoction that an authoritative source claimed was made mostly from a mixture of dried peas, chicory and rat shit, and designed for Americans and others who have no taste. Not only that, this product is almost always made from the lowest-grade and cheapest coffee available and, in a Western supermarket, costs maybe 10% of the price in China. It’s a tragedy to me that anyone in China might have developed a taste for this awful stuff. At Chinese New Year, I see people on the streets carrying gift boxes of Nescafé. I can hardly think of a greater insult. In the West, instant coffee has about the same social status as a box of tissues or a can of bug spray, nothing that even the mentally defective would offer as a gift. The Nescafé brand is owned by Nestlé, the same people who bring you grossly-overpriced Häagen-Dazs ice cream and dead babies in Africa.
One of the dirtiest branding tricks I’ve ever seen was in Canada with the creation of the “No-Name” brand. It originated a few decades back when a consumer backlash occurred about branding, the light finally coming on, with consumers despising the “premium” brands for their dishonest and predatory practices and flocking to ‘ordinary’ products. Clearly, something needed to be done to protect the cash stream of our criminal industrial elite. Following Bernays’ principles, a group of Jews invented the “No-Name” brand, convincing consumers of their wisdom in refusing to “pay for the name”, with very cleverly-worded ads suggesting these ‘no-brand-name’ products represented real value where a customer was paying for only the product and nothing for the ‘name’. Nothing was farther from the truth. As one example, I can still recall seeing bins of “No-Name” loose pasta in supermarkets priced at 40% above that of much superior packaged products on the shelves. And I can still recall seeing the poor, the uneducated, those either unable or unwilling to do the arithmetic to determine their real cost, trusting in the false claims of the supermarkets . That brand still exists in Canada today, owned by Loblaws, and is a valuable brand for its psychological value.
A clarifying note to my American friends: there actually are products that are “premium” in the real sense of being of superior quality, costing more to manufacture and selling at higher prices. In no way do I suggest avoiding these, and would in fact encourage their purchase. My objections are entirely with those “brands” that offer no more than standard value but use manipulative hype to charge much higher consumer prices. It is worth your while to consider this, and to try to evaluate brands based on value. As one simple example, Hero jam is almost infinitely superior to all other brands on the market, expensive but worth the money. The same can be said for tools, automobiles, and many other products, but we need to differentiate between real value and no value. The issue today is that most famous “brands” offer only fictional value.
Finally, for my Chinese friends, when you are done with your test-shopping of foreign products, turn your back on them and revert to your own domestic brands. In most cases, Chinese products are equal or superior to many of the Western brands, and offer far better value for your money.

The crisis that is unfolding around the world, or more accurately, in the West, is not an ordinary or even extra-ordinary political/economic crisis. This is not merely a crisis affecting the United States, the G7 and the UN, etc. What we are dealing with is a crisis affecting the very foundations of monotheism. This is why it is not an exaggeration to say what we are going through is biblical.
What years of reporting on about the very tip top of world power has revealed is that the monotheistic faiths are mostly controlled by groups of people who themselves do not believe in God. Instead, these families think of monotheism as a tool for controlling their subject peoples. These are the people who are facing a loss of power. That is also why people who think in monotheistic terms believe we are facing end-times.
This is something I learned first-hand when I went to Italy to negotiate with representatives of these families on behalf of Asian secret societies. They told me “there is no God, we are God.”
These families are from an ancient cult of slavers who first appeared in the history books as the Hyksos. These people worshipped a goat-faced god with a forked tail that is known to us as Set, Satan etc.
The origin of these people dates back to the ancient Middle East when humans stopped being hunter-gatherers and either became pastoralists or farmers.
这些人的起源可以追溯到古代中东,当时人类不再通过狩猎和采集来生存,而是成为牧民或农民。
Archeological evidence shows there was a huge increase in the human population of the Middle East after agriculture began. However, these people were small and malnourished compared to their hunter-gatherer ancestors. However, the pastoralists -who subsisted mainly on milk and meat- were powerfully built compared to the farmers. These people figured out over the years how to herd agriculturalists as if they were so many sheep or cattle.
These people appeared in the history books as the Hyksos who briefly ruled Egypt 1638 BC to 1530 BC. When the Egyptians kicked them out they took a large group of slaves with them. These are the people we know of today as the Jews.
To understand who and what we are dealing with let us look at the Old Testament of the bible aka the Torah.
为了了解我们正在和谁打交道,让我们看看《旧约圣经》又名《托拉》。
First, let’s see what happens before Moses (Thutmoses) is given the 10 commandments. First, note that if anyone other than Moses or Aaron went to see “God” they would be “stoned to death or killed with arrows.” (Exodus 19:13) You would think the entity that created the universe could at least come up with a lightning bolt.
You shall not bow down before them or serve them.d For I, the LORD, your God, am a jealous God, inflicting punishment for their ancestors’ wickedness on the children of those who hate me, down to the third and fourth generation*;
So this jealous “God” -who carries out multi-generational punishment- does not want a likeness made. Presumably, that is because people would then figure out it was a person pretending to be “God.”
Then we notice the “God” who created everything that exists wanted contributions of:
然后我们注意到,这个“上帝”尽管号称自己创造了万物,但是他却想要贡品:
“gold, silver, and bronze;b violet, purple, and scarlet yarn; fine linen and goat hair;
金,银,铜,紫,朱红色线,细麻,山羊毛;
rams’ skins dyed red, and tahash* skins; acacia wood; oil for the light; spices for the anointing oil and for the fragrant incense; onyx stones and other gems for mounting on the ephod and the breastpiece.
Again you would think the creator of the universe including the sun does not need lamp oil, goat hair etc.
同样,你一定会想到,宇宙的创造者,包括太阳,是不需要灯油、山羊毛等东西的。
In other words, this section of the bible describes the enslavement of the Hebrews using a system where hidden people pretend to be god and enforce their control with multi-generational campaigns of murder against dissidents.
We fast forward now through thousands of years of history and we find that the “people of the book” have been enslaved for so long that they do not even realize they are slaves anymore.
我们在数千年的历史中快速前进,我们发现“书中人物”被奴役了太久,他们甚至没有意识到自己是奴隶。
It was only after years of negotiating with and fighting to overthrow the families controlling Monotheism I concludedwe are dealing with descendants of the Hyksos pharaohs. They took a group of slaves with them after the Egyptians kicked their leader Akhenaten out of his garden palace. The garden of aten (eden). They used smoke and murder to hide their identity from their slaves so that they could live amongst them.
When I went to Italy to meet the representatives of the P2 -who control the Catholic or Roman version of monotheistic sheeple herding- I learned they consider control of information and food the keys to power. These days this takes the form of the “mainstream media” and the central banks.
These people also told me they trained the Prophet, Mohammed. However, they say he went rogue and started a competing version of monotheism. The split between Shia and Sunni Islam, by the way, started out as an inheritance dispute between cousins.
So basically the families that use “monotheism” to herd sheeple split into various factions over the millennia.
因此,基本上,使用“一神教”放牧绵地球人民的家族,在几千年的时间里分裂成了不同的派别。
In any case, when dealing with the current world situation, multiple trails of evidence point to a group of Pharanoic families based in Switzerland as being the control center of the ongoing attempt to unify all of humanity under a single leader. They wish to unify all the competing branches of monotheism under a single world religion controlled by a single God-like ruler.
It is also worth noting these people themselves do not believe in God. They are megalomaniacs who want to overthrow the creator and become God themselves.
Some of them worship Satan and look upon the rest of humanity with contempt. The more idealistic members of this ancient inbred clan of god rulers want to be “good shepherds.” The problem is even a “good shepherd,” slaughters and eats his herd.
The reason these families are losing power is manifold but economics is certainly a major driving force. According to the IMF, the world GDP is $160 trillion. However, the countries directly controlled by the ancient Babylonian/Egyptian ruling families only control about a third of that. The rest of the world is claiming that since they control two-thirds of world GDP and seven out of the worlds’ eight or so billion people, it is time for the West to hand over control of the planet.
For monotheists, this would mean the end of their millennia-old project to place the entire planet under the control of a single king or “Messiah.” Their answer is to kill the 90% of people who do not follow this agenda.
That is the big picture behind news events like the spread of bio-weapons, attempts to start WWIII, attempts to create a food crisis etc. The Asians responded by threatening to kill off the Western elite families who are behind these plans.
This writer was sent in 2009 as a representative of the Asian secret societies to try to come to some sort of agreement and it was them who told me I needed to talk to the P2 freemasons.
From an Asian perspective, the idea that the world will end is, in itself, the main problem with monotheism. For example, James G, Watt, Ronald Reagan’s Secretary of the Interior, justified opening federal lands for logging and ranching by saying:
What set them on the warpath though was clear evidence of the planned genocide of 90% of humanity.
然而,让他们犯下战争罪的是,有明显的证据能够证明他们正在计划屠杀90%的人类。
Fortunately, the Western world is also heir to the democratic, scientific, rational and legal traditions of Greece, Rome and England. It is the heirs to this tradition who have aligned themselves with the Asians and the rest of the world to put an end to the rule of these monotheistic slave-driving families.
In concrete terms, the British Commonwealth, the Russians, Pentagon and agency white hats along with the truth-seeking movement in the West are the Western members of the earth liberation alliance.
So, as we prepare for an autumn offensive against the ongoing attempt to turn this planet into a giant animal farm, we need to look at how truly powerful the Satanists still are. They control the mega-corporations, most Western politicians and the central banks.
A famous Swiss study shows that 700 people control 90% of transnational corporations. They found this out by looking at the names of the top executives of these corporations. A single individual will typically sit on the board of several corporations but they are all part of the same family group.
We also know they have been on a multi-generational year project to undermine democracy, rule of law and freedom of the press in order to replace Graeco/Roman/Anglo-Saxon democracy and rule of law with Babylonian totalitarianism. The flaw in their plan was their failure to take full control of the meritocratically staffed military and intelligence agencies of the West. This is reflected in a fight between Roman influenced military establishment and the Babylonian/Egyptian financial/medical establishment.
The reason the military white hats are having so much trouble liberating the West is manifold. One is that many top commanders have been compromised by bribes/blackmail and propaganda.
Another is that a fundamental agreement needed to be made with the rest of the world and that has been time-consuming.
另一个原因是,需要与世界其他地区达成一项根本性协议,这是一项耗时的工作。
Nonetheless, it is clear that an ancient system of turning people into domestic animals is being overthrown. When this happens we know the history books will all have to be rewritten. We also know that we have been kept in the dark about many things such as the secret space program, contact with extra-terrestrial civilizations and even the very nature of reality itself.
What we can be sure of is that we as a species are heading into uncharted waters and a new age or new era of history.
我们可以肯定的是,作为一个物种,我们正在进入未知的领域,进入一个新的历史时代。
We hope this big picture background helps as we return next week to reporting events unfolding in real time around the planet as a part of this great human awakening. Thank you for your patience during my annual sabbatical.
Americans boast incessantly about their competitiveness and the miracles of their predatory capitalist system, but on examination these claims appear to be mostly thoughtless jingoism that transmutes historical accidents into religion. If we examine the record, US companies have seldom been notably competitive. There is more than abundant evidence that their efforts are mostly directed to ensure an asymmetric playing field that permitted them to avoid confronting real competition. And, in very large part, major US corporations have succeeded not because of any competitive advantage but by pressure and threats emanating from the State Department and military. New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman stated the truth quite accurately when he wrote, “The hidden hand of the market will never work without the hidden fist. McDonald’s cannot flourish without McDonnell Douglas.”
Xerox was once almost the only manufacturer of photocopiers in the world. Kodak was once almost the world’s only maker of cameras and photo film; Where are Xerox and Kodak today? More recently, Motorola was the leading manufacturer of mobile phones; Where is Motorola today? US-based RCA Victor was one of the largest producers of TV sets in the world. Where can you buy an RCA TV set today? Where are the great Pan Am World Airways and Continental Airlines? Where are E.F. Hutton, General Foods, RCA, DEC, Compaq? Where are American Motors, Bethlehem Steel, Polaroid cameras, and so many more? Gone, because they couldn’t deal with effective competition.
Boeing Aircraft would be gone today if not for the extensive subsidies it receives from the US government. It’s true that Airbus receives subsidies too, but Boeing is supported by billions in US military research grants against which it can apply much of its current expenses. Not so many years ago, IBM was the only manufacturer of office and home computers. Where can you buy an IBM computer today? GE was once the largest manufacturer of electric home appliances, lights and lighting fixtures. Where is GE today? Transformed into a financial company, beaten out of all consumer markets because it couldn’t compete. IBM defenders will tell you that the company willingly abandoned the PC market to focus on mainframe computers and information services, but no company abandons a profitable market. The truth is that IBM faced manufacturers who could produce PCs for a quarter of the cost, and were forced out of the business. GE defenders would make a similar claim, but GE couldn’t compete in the vast consumer markets and was driven out too.
The three major US auto manufacturers are in the same position. Chrysler has been bankrupt three times already, and survives today only because of Fiat having taken it over. The great General Motors went bankrupt, and was saved only by $60 billion of cash injections from the US and Canadian governments – money which will never be recovered. And in spite of that, GM would have anyway disappeared from the earth if not for its sales in China – which are now three times GM’s sales in its own country; even Americans are refusing to purchase GM’s tired and dying brands. Only Ford has been able to keep its head above water, and then only just. We could produce a list of hundreds of US companies who thought they were great until they faced some real “competition”, and then rapidly disappeared. It’s true there are business failures in every country, but other countries don’t boast about their God-given omnipotence and their world-beating competitive supremacy.
Along similar lines, the Americans have never forgiven the Europeans and Russians for producing supersonic passenger aircraft after all US attempts failed. And they are unlikely to forgive China and Russia for the deployment of working hypersonic missiles when all domestic attempts have failed.
And then we have the genuine mythology of Alexander Graham Bell who didn’t invent the telephone, Thomas Edison who, by his own admission, never invented anything – including the light bulb, the Wright Brothers who were never the first to have powered flight, and the great Albert Einstein who plagiarized everything he published. The list is very long.
还有亚历山大·格雷厄姆·贝尔(Alexander Graham Bell)没有发明电话,托马斯·爱迪生(Thomas Edison)自己也承认从未发明过任何东西——包括灯泡,莱特兄弟(Wright Brothers)从来都不是第一个为飞行提供动力,伟大的阿尔伯特·爱因斯坦(Albert Einstein)剽窃了他发表的所有东西。名单很长。
Descriptions of American ingenuity and competitiveness were never accurate or valid, but mere jingoism fabricated by Bernays’ adherents to further promote the self-serving mythology of virtuous American capitalism. The truth is that the large US companies thrived on only brute force, heavily supported by their own government to limit competition both domestically and abroad. The US government and military have always existed primarily to browbeat other nations and economies into submission, to help US corporations obtain unfair trade deals, exclusive access to resources and markets, effectively colonising and subjugating much of the world. American business has seldom been able to compete when placed on an equal footing with other competitors because the US business model works only on a “take it by force” basis. Kodak, Xerox, and so many other American icons disappeared when the playing field did indeed become level.
We need only look at the US domestic market to see the truth of this. When Japanese and German automobiles were finally permitted into the US market on equal terms, the American auto firms mostly entered a long slide to bankruptcy – because they couldn’t compete. Almost every computer and electronic device sold in the US today is a foreign brand because Americans couldn’t compete when the playing field was level. Motorola’s crappy phones were a great success until Nokia and others entered the US market. Harley-Davidson exists only because of a 50% import tax on competing motorcycles; Ford Motors would also be in bankruptcy if not for the heavy protectionist tax on light trucks. The American mobile phone companies and ISPs would disappear into the bankruptcy courts within a year if foreign firms were permitted into the market. Cisco Systems, the grand American Internet infrastructure champion, would within three months be reduced to assembling Playstations for Sony if Huawei were given free access to the US market. The story is the same for countless American firms that were once dominant in their home market but quickly disappeared when protectionist trade tariffs and duties were eliminated and foreign products could enter the US on fair or equal terms. The dominant US firms surviving today are able to do so due mostly to rampant protectionism and oligopolies created by the US government to ensure their survival.
The same is true in foreign markets. Few American companies have been able to survive in other countries, other than the fast-food chains. Most recently, Domino’s Pizza is leaving Italy with its tail between its legs after ten years of failure, blaming the bankruptcy on COVID. But there is a long string of American failures preceding this; E-Bay and Home Depot left China in tears a few years ago. Uber’s China business was taken over by Didi, and there are many more. Those American firms that have survived, have done so primarily by purchasing domestic brands and using that distribution system to support their foreign market entries, and most of those have succeeded only due to astonishing criminality in their foreign joint ventures.
And it is an axiom in the auto business that nowhere in the world can you buy an American car except in North America and China, and the China market may soon disappear in spite of what seemed an initial success.
At one time, US banks, radio and TV companies, print publishers and others were heavily restricted from mergers and takeovers on the sound basis that society needed to be protected from the predatory nature of concentrated ownership. But for the past 50 years the elites who control the large US corporations have exerted enormous influence on the government to remove domestic restrictions on monopolies, and eventually their political influence succeeded to the point where today the entire nation has only a few media firms, auto manufacturers, pharmaceutical firms, oil companies, telecommunications firms and major banks. In each case, companies were bought, merged, swallowed or bankrupted until only a few very large survivors remained.
American banking corporations were once permitted to operate only within a single state, in part to sensibly ensure that local deposits were converted to local development loans rather than being siphoned off to develop other richer regions. But the powerful East-Coast bankers, heavily supported by the FED, convinced the government that all those small regional banks needed “competition” to make them “more efficient” and to bring them into the big leagues of the modern financial world. And of course, once approval was received, most of the local banks were purchased, enticed into a merger, bankrupted or forced out of business, and now a small number of banks controls most of the US economy. And, as we would expect, the new mega-banks did indeed siphon off local deposits to richer centers, thereby vastly increasing the nation’s income disparity and relieving the government of its control of regional development. All the claims about the need for, and benefits of, competition were false. The purpose of these mergers and purchases was never to foster competition but to eliminate it. Today, a few major US banks control the bulk of the nation’s business, and instead of competing with each other in some meaningful way they generally conspire together to plunder their customers. Where there is real competition consumers have choices, but what are the choices with the banks? You can leave one bank that offers poor service while cheating you to go to another bank that will offer poor service while cheating you.
The US mobile phone system, an oligopoly, is the most expensive and dysfunctional in the world. An Internet-enabled smart phone that can be managed well in China for less than 100 yuan a month ($15.00) will cost $200 per month in the US. Until recently, SIM cards could not be removed, to prevent customers from changing suppliers; unlocking the phone to enable its use with another phone company or in another location, would lead to a $500,000 fine and a ten-year prison sentence, thereby protecting the oligopoly from competition. Like all American systems, communication was designed by and for the benefit of private enterprise, meant to hold consumers captive and milk them for every dollar they have. It was never considered as infrastructure nor designed with any thought of what was best for either the consumers or the nation.
This pattern prevailed in banking, transportation, telecommunications, the media, the petroleum industry and others, to create a situation where these giant firms could totally dominate an industry to control not only prices and production levels, but also the rates of both future investment and technological innovation in these industry sectors. Those innovations escaping this capitalist net were soon either driven out of business or were purchased and killed. These are precisely the same arguments American companies and the US government utilise today in China to pressure China’s government to open industry sectors to US multi-nationals, claiming the benefits of competition and the need for efficiency as necessary credentials to enter the modern world. These claims are equally as much a lie in China as they were in the US.
In fashion similar to their mythical inventiveness and entrepreneurship, nostalgic and misinformed Americans today pine for “the returning of pride once again to what was once the global standard of creativity, quality and style in manufactured products – the mark on all our goods saying ‘Made in the USA'”.
But this is just one more foolish American myth. The US was never a world standard of anything except weapons and maybe pornography, and even then they stole most of that from Germany and Japan. Mostly, American products, like their automobiles, have always been crappy. It is true there have been some products of acceptable quality emerging from the US, but these have always been much in the minority and the few examples used as evidence of this claim are virtually the only examples. The Americans have never been able to produce machines or tools that could match those of Germany, or shoes and clothing as fine as those of Italy, or wines and food products as good as those of Europe.
We are constantly reminded that the Americans, being so creative and innovative, spend huge amounts of money on R&D, but these claims are short on detail and therefore disguise the objectives of corporate R&D in America. Companies in most countries invest in research to produce products of higher quality and greater reliability or durability, but US firms typically have interest only in finding ways to produce more cheaply so as to enhance profitability. Large American firms focus at least 60% of their entire R&D budgets on ways to lower costs, with product quality inevitably being the loser. American investment in R&D is merely a kind of race to the bottom, with every firm competing to discover new ways to substitute substandard materials and produce a more cheaply-made product that can be sold at the same price. Many components are internal where the materials quality is not obvious to consumers, but for those which are external and subject to consumer evaluation we see superficial America at its best. Manufacturers conduct consumer tests of their R&D ‘innovations’ to determine if the public are able to detect the cheap substitutions, the goal being to degrade product quality and cost as much as possible in a way that will not be apparent to the consumer. Lawrence Mishel, President of the Economic Policy Institute, wrote that “the US is a country interested only in finding the shortest route to the cheapest product”.
Despite all the mythical propaganda, the Americans have never placed much value on a skilled work force, and the quality of American goods has reflected this for 200 years. Neither American people nor their corporations have ever valued product quality, the people having for generations been programmed to value superficiality and appearance over substance, eventually resulting in the almost universally low quality throwaway society we see today. One of the main results of this low-class attitude is the American use of technology. Companies in Germany, Japan, China, and much of Europe, will take advantage of new technologies to produce better and higher-quality products but the Americans almost invariably use it to lower their cost of production and raise their profits. Product quality is always the loser. Even today, a German Volkswagen that requires repairs after a year is an anomaly; an American Buick that doesn’t, is a miracle.
Americans have a bad habit of sloppiness with their vocabulary, an unthinking and simple-minded tendency to contaminate definitions by exaggerating them beyond the bounds of all good sense, mostly to fabricate grist for the propaganda mill. One such foolishness is of course the American definition of democracy which sometimes seems to include a thousand unrelated and mostly mythical items like freedom. One American acquaintance stated that a pet’s ‘right to dog food’ was ‘a human right’ and therefore included within the meaning of democracy. I sincerely doubt that one American in 50 could provide an intelligent definition of either democracy or freedom; the words simply mean whatever each person wants them to mean, the media pundits even less intelligent than the rest of the population.
We have the same problem with the use of ‘entrepreneurial’ as an adjective, the definition often expanded to include things like innovation or creativity or independence, and sometimes even ‘freedom’, and of course including the filing of new patents. But when the US military funds MIT for weapons research and obtains useful discoveries, this is hardly an example of the entrepreneurial spirit at work. An entrepreneur is someone who takes the initiative to form a new enterprise, the term being only peripherally related to innovation or the generation of ideas. Richard Branson may be entrepreneurial in designing and building a new space ship for tourists, but for each one of these we have several million who open their own pet shop.
The Americans constantly flaunt companies like Microsoft, Google and Facebook as examples of their entrepreneurial abilities but, like most all else, the few examples claimed are virtually the only examples that exist. And in almost every case I know of, especially with examples like Google and Facebook, there was enormous government, State Department and CIA political involvement, heavy funding, and enormous commercial pressure without which these enterprises would never have seen the light of day. Google is virtually a department of the CIA; Facebook and Twitter may not be much better. Warren Buffett and Michael Dell may be exceptions, but there are precious few of these. Apple would qualify, as would the creation of Hewlett-Packard, but America’s list is much shorter than China’s, with firms like Huawei, Wahaha, Xiaomi and 50 million others who started their own businesses. Like all the supposedly great things about America, the nation’s entrepreneurial spirit is just another utopian myth created by the propaganda machine as one more aspect of brand marketing.
In the US, a new college graduate who has a job and isn’t already bankrupt with student loans, will take his first paycheque to a car dealership and borrow whatever he can to buy a car, and spend years paying off the debt. A new Chinese graduate will leave his full-time job at 5;00 PM and wash dishes in a Chinese restaurant until midnight, saving every penny until he can put a down payment on a house or an apartment which he will then rent out. And he will continue applying his salary from both jobs, supplemented by the rental income, until the house has enough equity for a down payment on a second property. And he continues, while he lives in a small rented flat, and after 5 or 6 years he has one house paid for, which he can then live in almost free, with another well on its way. He will continue to apply all income and rentals until the second home is also paid off, after which he can bank his entire salary and buy a new Mercedes if he wants one, or start his own restaurant, or buy a third house. Which way is better? Where is the evidence of “the entrepreneurial spirit” in the American?
Nevertheless, and in keeping with the American defense of their pitiful PISA scores and educational system, the propaganda machine never tires of boasting of the breadth and depth of entrepreneurial America, of the adventurous spirit that pervades the nation, of the US being a veritable hotbed of entrepreneurs and business leaders and inventors. But of all claims of American superiority, and in spite of all the blatantly false myths about every other part of American excellence, this claim is so silly as to defy understanding of its origin. In a lifetime of travel, I have almost never met an American who dreamed of having his own business, and the same is true for Canadians, Brits, Australians and Germans. Italians yes, many; Americans, none. But in more than 25 years of constant exposure to Chinese people, and in a decade of experience within China, I am still genuinely surprised to meet a Chinese who does not dream of having his or her own business. The desire to be one’s own boss is virtually embedded in Chinese DNA and would serve as one of the defining adjectives of the Chinese people. There is nothing in the US to compare to it, and there has never been. In fact, it is China, not the US, that is flooded with entrepreneurs and the spirit to strike out on one’s own. Ningbo, a small affluent city in East China, is known primarily for its abundance of millionaires, and has an extraordinarily strong private business base, with one in four local people involved in export-related industries. Where do we find this in America?
In the business school of the university in the small town of Yiwu, in Zhejiang Province near Shanghai, all the students – all the students – have their own businesses. They may only be Taobao online shops, but they all make money. In fact, it is part of their business-school curriculum that they at least open online shops to take advantage of Yiwu’s massive commodities markets, and learn how to buy, sell and market those goods across the nation. Many accept largish orders and market internationally – and these are kids. Some of them make $100,000 a year in this minor part-time occupation while they are still undergraduates. Many are also quite fluent in English and are taught to act as agents, purchasing advisors, negotiators and translators for foreign buyers, accumulating business skills and experience of enormous value. Where do you find this in America? Where do you find this at Harvard? The American business schools pretend that entrepreneurship entails imagining an iphone in your garage and finding an angel willing to pump $200 million into putting your show on the road. But for every one of those you can find in the US, China has 6 million of its kind, and guess who’s driving the Ferraris. And guess who spends 6 hours in front of the TV every night, still believing the sun revolves around the earth and still unable to find his country on a map of the world.
As well, if you read my E-book on ‘How the US Became Rich’,(1) it is heavily documented that great numbers of products which the mythological narrative now credits to American inventiveness were simply copied or stolen from other nations, often with the encouragement and financial support of the US government. Coca-Cola is one such example, but there are literally hundreds of others, including most manufacturing machinery and processes.
There are a great many of these “firsts” that were never American, but where the claim has been made and the title confiscated as part of the long series of historical myths used to bolster the jingoism of American supremacy. Americans firmly believe they are exceptional in their ability “to turn the abstract into practical products for everyday people to be able to afford”. In evidence, they produce a long list of products and consumer goods that evolved from their “scientific research”, and that, according to them, is “so long and obvious as to sound like bragging”. The only flaw in this mythical narrative is that none of the claims are true. Almost no items on their “bragging list” were invented by Americans, and in the cases where US residents were the first to apply for patents, they were not Americans but virtually all by immigrants who had built on someone else’s work. Many Americans believe that IBM created the personal computer, but Germany’s Konrad Zuse built the first functional programmable computer in 1936, and Olivetti in Italy as well as scientists in Russia and Poland had working computers long before that.
And it goes much further than this. The Americans are exceptionally proficient at creating historical myths that demonstrate their supposed moral superiority in virtually every area, freely rewriting history or carefully burying crucial facts in juvenile attempts to mislead. One such myth concerns the fabled military aircraft, the P-51 Mustang which, according to the Americans, single-handedly won the war in Europe, defeated the German Luftwaffe all by itself, and “is widely considered the best piston single fighter of all time”. Of course, it is no such thing, except to the Americans themselves. For one thing, the Americans’ brief flash at the end of the conflict hardly ‘won the war’ but, more importantly, this aircraft’s original designation was the XP-78, a name almost nobody has ever heard of, and for good reason. The aircraft’s performance was underwhelming to say the least and, with its American-built Allison engines was of no more use during wartime than a lawn mower. It was the re-fitting of this aircraft with the British Rolls-Royce Merlin engine that made it useful. With the Merlin generating twice the power with less than half the fuel consumption of the US engine, the aircraft did indeed have great range and performance – as did the Spitfires and other British aircraft, but the original American version wouldn’t have made a list of the top 500. And yet nowhere in any American narrative do important facts like these appear. In these areas, as in so many others, the US is a nation based on lies.
In related propaganda, anything developed first by another nation will not actually exist in the American mind or be recognised in the American narrative until it is subsequently copied and produced by the Americans, at which point they will assume full credit for having taken a flawed and primitive foreign concept and developed it into the only real good version. The British Harrier aircraft is one such example that comes immediately to mind, as are Italian espresso and cappuccino. On the other hand, any country creating anything similar to that existing in the US will discover its product being immediately denigrated as just a cheap copy of an infinitely-superior American invention. Americans are such a pain in the ass.
The floods of new patents notwithstanding, there is no evidence that Americans are any more innovative or creative than any other nation of people. Equally, there is no evidence that Americans are any more resourceful than people from other nations, and I would argue they are rather less so. Moreover, two major conditions serve as strong contra-indications of these claims of American inventiveness.
One is that most of the invention and innovation that occurred in the US was not done by “Americans”, whoever they are, but by people from other nations, a large percentage of these being Chinese. In fact, in America’s famous Silicon Valley 50% of the participants are Chinese and another 40% Indian. That wouldn’t seem to leave too much creativity or innovation for Americans. Indeed, without these foreigners, US innovation might come to a virtual standstill and Silicon Valley might have amounted to nothing. The US has for decades offered free graduate-level education and attractive research jobs to the best and brightest of other nations, which is simply colonialism in another form, effectively purchasing the brightest students from other nations then taking credit for their inventions or patents. The truth is that precious little of the inventiveness that occurred in America in the past was ever done by Americans. Even today, a recent study financed by New York mayor Bloomberg proved that 75% or more of all patents emerging from US educational institutions were obtained by foreigners, a great many of whom were Chinese. The US educational system has never fostered either inventiveness or creative thinking; what it has done, and perhaps done well, is to hire creative minds from other nations and then claim their work for itself. It has been only through plundering resources and the brightest people from other nations, that the US has progressed and become rich overall. If not for that, America today would be of no more consequence than Australia.
The second is that a surprising amount of the innovation emerging from America in recent decades did not come from lofty ideals, satisfying consumer needs, or other moral truisms, but was simply commercial fallout from military research. As noted elsewhere, MIT, one of the most prominent and praised US educational institutions, was created for the sole purpose of military research and until recently was almost 100% funded by the US military. The US may well have its share of intelligent and innovative people, but their talents have been mostly directed to war, marketing, and the marketing of war. When the Americans were flooding the people of Vietnam under a tsunami of millions of liters of napalm, they discovered the Vietnamese were cleverly avoiding their planned immolation by submerging themselves in water and extinguishing the flames. The Department of Defense quickly assembled the best and brightest Americans (at Harvard) who, innovative as always, discovered they could infuse the napalm with particles of white phosphorus that would burn a man to death even while under water. American ingenuity at its best.
The US government has arranged widespread ‘public-private partnerships’ with many educational institutions for the purpose of military research, and after the military determines how to weaponise something, they then let parts into the private sector. The Internet was a military project, as was the American GPS system. Google Earth resulted from US military spy satellites; radio, computers and microwaves were military projects. The list is long. When this massive seconding of the American educational system for military use became a target of public objection, the US government did what it and its corporations always do: they moved it offshore. In late 2013 der Spiegel reported an outbreak of public condemnation when it was revealed that German universities had received tens of millions of dollars from the US for military research, and many other foreign universities are in the same position. The Americans are now attempting to utilise the best and brightest from all Western nations in their headlong rush to create military invincibility, hijacking the research departments in the world’s universities and paying scientists and researchers from all nations to make their contribution to American military superiority.
Americans are not “inventive”. They are greedy and self-serving, interested much more in commercial domination and control than in creativity. Creativity is defined by art, not by money and, since Americans have no art, they have redefined creativity as something that produces money. And it’s even worse than this. As I’ve noted elsewhere, about two-thirds of American R&D budgets are directed exclusively to finding ways to degrade product quality and lower the cost so as to make a cheaper product and increase profits. In what way is this a reflection of “creativity”? Even worse, the US government and corporations have not only hijacked all American universities as incubators of profit but also as hotbeds of weapons research, now extending this to the research departments of universities in other Western nations. I’m sorry to say this, but of all the available fields of human endeavor that would benefit from the application of imagination, the Americans have chosen only two: the search for ways to provide less while charging more, and ways to kill more people faster and from a greater distance. This is not creativity. It is a kind of mass hysteria in a population that long ago lost its moral compass and sense of values, a people rendered powerless by a profusion of propaganda that redefined a life worth living as one of superficiality, greed and domination.
In late 2015, Robert McMillan wrote an article in the WSJ in which he noted that China’s supercomputing technology is growing rapidly and that China has had for years the world’s most powerful supercomputers. China’s Tianhe-2, which had for years been ranked the world’s most powerful supercomputer, could perform 34 quadrillion calculations per second. The machine in second place, the US military’s installation at its Oak Ridge National Laboratory, could perform 17 quadrillion calculations per second – exactly one-half as fast as China’s, and this in spite of spending billions of dollars to improve their capability. McMillan stated that the increasingly poor American results are not from a slowdown in the US effort but an acceleration of research in China. Only a few months later, Xinhua news reported that China’s National Supercomputer Center would soon be releasing the prototype of a supercomputer that will be 1,000 times more powerful than its original ground-breaking Tianhe-1A (which was then superseded by the Tianhe-2). A few months later, in 2016, China introduced its new supercomputing system, Sunway-TaihuLight, the world’s fastest for the seventh straight year, and using entirely Chinese-designed processors instead of US technology. This new Chinese computer is capable of 125 petaflops, or quadrillion calculations per second, more than seven times faster than America’s Oak Ridge installation, and the first computer in the world to achieve speeds beyond 100 PFlops. The supercomputer’s power is provided by a domestically developed multi-core CPU chip, which is only 25 square centimeters in size. As well, in 2015 China displaced the US as the country with the most supercomputers in the top 500, China having 167 and the US 165, with Japan third at only 29.
I must say it was not only comical but instructive to follow the heavily-politicised transcript emerging from the US government on these ‘computer wars’, and so heavily parroted in the US media. For years, the Americans published – at full volume – lists of the world’s fastest computers, with their equipment always leading the pack, with calculation speed being the only appropriate measure. In that process, US government officials and the American mass media took advantage of every opportunity to denigrate the Chinese for their lack of innovation. Then one day Chinese engineers produced a supercomputer twice as fast as the Americans’ best effort, and suddenly the goalposts were moved. The measure was no longer calculation speed but the fact of using home-grown processors, so even though the Chinese machines were much faster than those of the Americans, they were using US-sourced microprocessors, so the Americans still won. The US government and media even enhanced their deprecation of China, loudly proclaiming that China would be nothing without US technology. So Chinese engineers designed their own microprocessors and produced a supercomputer five times faster than the best the Americans could manage, and suddenly the Americans have disappeared from the radar. Neither the US government nor the media appear to have any further interest in either the capability or the numbers of supercomputers, and the Americans seem to have lost interest in publishing lists of the world’s fastest computers. But on the bright side, Chinese authorities report that the NSA has launched hundreds of thousands of hacking attacks, looking for a way to steal and copy the technology for China’s new microprocessors.

Americans almost universally believe they are unique in this regard, the US virtually defining itself as the land of opportunity, but this has always been a delusion. While it may be true that the US has accumulated comparatively more wealthy individuals than other nations, and which status has been broadcast to the world as evidence of virtue, this is much more an indictment of the predatory and anti-social nature of American-style capitalism than of equity and opportunity. It is true that the uniquely predatory form of American capitalism will create some kinds of opportunities that do not exist in other countries, but we can develop a very strong argument that those kinds should not be permitted to exist. Let’s not erase 2008 from our memories too soon. Moreover, there have been precious few large personal fortunes created in the US that were not accompanied by the commitment of even greater crimes, and the executives of a great many US multinationals from the Rockefeller’s United Fruit Company and Standard Oil to Coca-Cola and Wal-Mart should have faced trial and been executed for crimes against humanity.
The US does indeed have a large number of billionaires, but this is directly offset by the vast decline of the middle class and the huge and increasing number of impoverished. The elite 1%, the bankers and industrialists who control the government, forced legislation that freed them from taxes and regulation to permit that free accumulation of wealth. The fact that other Western nations have fewer of the extreme rich is also directly offset by their corresponding lack of poverty. One need only examine the data on income inequality to realise that opportunity in America is increasingly reserved for the privileged few and that the masses are not only excluded by design but are being plundered by that same privileged few.
As with almost every other American claim of supremacy, the few examples offered of anything are virtually the only examples that exist. Americans will proudly point to a Bill Gates or a Warren Buffett as evidence of the truth of their conviction, but Gates (William H. Gates III) was third-generation old money whose family was connected at the highest levels and not, as the myth would have it, an unknown computer geek who dropped out of Harvard and struck gold with a good idea. In any case, Gates and Buffett are two individuals of 300 million, and the brutal truth that seems to escape the consciousness of Americans is that these two accumulated their wealth while tens of millions of others were losing their homes and jobs. Americans will point proudly to Apple, with its accumulated offshore profits of $300 billion as evidence of America’s limitless possibilities, but are apparently unable to see the millions living in tent cities and sleeping in the sewers of Las Vegas as one inevitable result of the accumulation of that same $300 billion. And they are also unable to see the criminality of firms like Foxconn in China who produce those Apple products in what are essentially forced-labor concentration camps. The rich in every nation do not become rich because they are smarter, but by taking advantage and almost always by brutalising those less fortunate.
We can easily create an almost perfect analogy to the American dream: “All Americans have the opportunity to learn to fly. Not in an airplane, but like Superman, cruising through the air on mystical superpowers.” Of course, if we examine the landscape, we find precious few individuals who seem to have taken advantage of this great opportunity, but this lack of evidence in no way invalidates our premise. In precisely the same fashion we can claim that all Americans have the opportunity to become rich and successful. Again, when we examine the landscape, we find precious few individuals who have actually managed this, but again the lack of evidence does not serve to invalidate our premise. Of course, the entire argument is just nonsense. The success of Warren Buffett is indicative of nothing but one fortunate and talented individual who was in the right places at the right times and who is remarkable only for his rarity. We have a few Elon Musks and others like him, but again this is indicative of nothing. If the American dream as stated is real, we need at least many tens of millions of individuals who have achieved some reasonable measure of this dream. But they don’t exist, and the reason they don’t exist is that the entire narrative of the American dream is a fraud.
While the US government, controlled by its bankers and financiers, its multinational corporate elite and the FED, has been working for decades to eviscerate the middle and lower classes and to effect a continuous and massive transfer of wealth to the top 1%, the bottom 99% have been singing the praises of the ‘democratic’ capitalist system that has been progressively abused to facilitate this transfer. In truth and reality, they are praising the very components of their system that are dragging them further into poverty with each passing year. I can think of no greater tribute to the power of propaganda than for a nation of increasingly impoverished, uneducated and unemployed to not only be blinded to the deliberate manufacture of their own misfortune, but to worship the system that permitted it and venerate the individuals who caused it.
It is noteworthy that religion plays a significant supporting role in the propagation of this fraud. The simplistic and simple-minded American versions of Christianity, with their two-dimensional and heavily moralistic view of the world, encourage a belief in the eventual triumph of virtue, hard work of course being characteristic of virtue and success being one measure of its practice. In this context and under this indoctrination it is perfectly plausible that the blame for one’s failure to ‘succeed’ should be attributed to one’s own shortcomings, and indeed it is seen as whining to blame the system rather than ourselves for our lack of progress. The entire myth, the foundation of the American Dream, is that US-style capitalism will automatically enrich anyone who works hard, filling individuals with an illusory hope that seldom comes to fruition while encouraging them to blame themselves when they fail.
One author wrote that, like most everything else in the US, the American Dream is a lie, but this myth is “so psychologically seductive to those who are ambitious and harbor hopes for a better future that the propaganda itself creates devoted followers even in the absence of all evidence”. This is truly one of the great tragedies of human life in America, that so many millions of people believe fervently in what is simply a fairy-tale, telling themselves that “there are always possibilities” when a clear-headed look around them should send most of them scurrying for the door. And it is always the most innocent and gullible, the ignorant and uninformed, the most vulnerable, who are the most susceptible to this vicious propaganda, as evidenced by companies like Amway.
It sometimes seems that half the content of US bookstores consists of what we call ‘self-help’ books, meant to give us ‘the real secret’ to success and riches. Of course, if one book ever did do that, there would be no need for a second. The secret contained in these books is mostly limited to some variation of “You have to believe”. And when you fail to strike gold, as you inevitably will, then your belief just wasn’t strong enough.
The reality is that opportunity and the path to riches exist today only for the well-connected, with few of the brilliant, industrious, and well-educated ever achieving either wealth or fame, yet most Americans are still deluded into believing these goals are actually attainable. It was once an axiom that a rising tide lifts all boats, but in the last 50 years only the luxury yachts have risen, with the top 1% aggregating most of the income and assets to itself while the middle class has consistently lost ground and been virtually gutted. With the increased financialisation and de-industrialisation of the US economy, with the FED repeatedly engineering booms and busts, each with its corresponding massive wealth transfer, the mountain to riches has become a very steep climb indeed for the average citizen. Many authors have noted that a distinguishing feature of American society is the increasingly greater social stratification, whereby those from the lower class have almost no chance to rise even into the middle class, much less aspire to riches or high society. Among all developed nations, the US has become the country in which economic and societal status are most likely to be inherited and that individual effort or even genius are unlikely to achieve anything remarkable.
It must also be noted that peoples in all nations harbor hopes of progress, of improvement in their lives, of increasing prosperity, of freedom from want and need, Americans not being unique in this regard. And it must also be noted that opportunities for such progress have never by any means been limited to the US, and indeed the US has never been unique in this regard either. In fact, many nations have higher standards of living and much more compassionate societies than does the US, and it has always been as easy to ‘succeed’ in Canada or Germany or Italy as in America. American exceptionalism and jingoism notwithstanding, the path to success or the top has never been notably easier in the US than in many other nations.
And finally, of all nations in the world today, it is China that offers the most opportunity for progress and increasing prosperity and, most importantly, that provides this offer to virtually the nation’s entire population. While it may be true of China as of all nations, that only good connections and good breeding will get you an invitation to an embassy dinner party, it is also true that in China as in no other nation in the world today can such a high proportion of the people harbor hopes for the future with such a high probability of fruition. It is China, not America, that has created an environment for true and almost universal potential for progress for all. And, while many Americans will refuse to believe this, it is the quality of China’s leaders, the fact of China’s one-party government system, and China’s unique version of socialist capitalism that have made this possible. The very factors that Americans have credited with the presumed success of their nation are in reality the same elements that are destroying their American dream. The signs of both these statements are obvious wherever one cares to look, but by the time the Americans clear their minds of the clouds of propaganda it will be too late. I am not so much worried for the Americans, but it concerns me greatly that too many Chinese will also fail to clear their minds of the propaganda and false branding until it is too late.

If we were to try to identify one point in US history where superficiality took root in America, it might well be a speech by an American salesman named Elmer Wheeler who in 1937 coined the now-famous maxim of “Don’t sell the steak – sell the sizzle!”. For those who don’t know, the sizzle is the sound made by a steak when it is first tossed onto a hot barbeque. His idea had merit. Looking at a photo of a steak or listening to a radio commercial about steaks would be unlikely to generate much immediate purchasing response, but hearing that sound might well recall fond memories and persuade shoppers to head for the supermarket. His theory was that it isn’t the simple product that generates a purchase but rather our emotional response to some element of that product.
Of course, it was American Jews who more or less created marketing, and Bernays’ advertising wizards were not slow to adapt Wheeler’s advice to virtually every product in existence. But, as with most things American, they didn’t know when to quit, and carried the process far past the end. It soon occurred to American businessmen that if people were buying the sizzle there was no need to provide the steak. It may come as a surprise to many people, especially Americans, but it was American companies, not Chinese, that created fake products and flooded the nation and the world with them. Since customers wanted the ‘sizzle’ of leather in their cars and on their sofas, anything vaguely resembling leather would suffice. It was Americans who created fake leather, wood, metal, glass, fake wool and linen, fake virgin olive oil and, eventually, fake people. The list is almost endless. Any natural product that could possibly be counterfeited – but nevertheless sold as the real thing – was produced and sold.
And it was primarily the conflux of sizzle and credit that led companies and marketers to create the propaganda of the American Dream; not the dream where you succeed, but the dream where you have the appearance of success. After all, borrowing money to purchase a fake leather sofa to show off to your neighbors is almost as good as actually having the money in the bank to purchase the real thing. And this is what the marketers marketed. The focus on providing consumers with increasingly less steak and more sizzle, along with the fake materials purchased on credit, eventually resulted in what we call superficiality, a term that describes Americans as perfectly as any other.
It is interesting to watch the continuing development of this process today. It shouldn’t be necessary to point out that Starbucks offers some of the worst coffee on the planet, which is natural since it was designed to suit American tastes. But you may be surprised to learn that Starbucks is no longer selling coffee; they are now selling “experiences”. The marketers and advertisers, aided and abetted by the propagandists and their Freudian background, have concluded that there is an even better way to loot bank accounts than offering fake goods on credit. In their view, shops once sold commodities (coffee beans), then became ‘service firms’ (coffee shops) where the commodity was standardised and the distinguishing consumer attraction was the quality of service. Inherent in that shift was the degrading of the commodity – which was expensive – and replacing it with ‘service’ which cost nothing but an artificial smile. They have now moved to a new level where we sacrifice both the commodity and the service, and replace both with “an experience”.
The propagandists and marketers, the offspring of Lippman and Bernays, are spending enormous sums of money on psychologists and psychiatrists to fathom precisely what it is about going to a Starbucks or a Wal-Mart that can create a positive emotional response. Yes, I know. I almost choked writing that sentence, but these people are serious. They want to identify the stimulus and to then fabricate the circumstances in an attempt to provoke that response. If successful, the fake commodity and fake service can disappear to be replaced by a fake emotional experience that you will treasure and one day excitedly relate to your grandchildren. It is all a false reality created with contrived experiences that are not real, but Americans are already on international speaking tours proselytising the new marketing approach. And it’s all fake, in the same way that most of America is fake. In the US, marketing is built on lies just as is virtually all else in the nation. It is interesting to watch Americans promoting this new view; they are unable to recognise that any part of their new bible contrasts with reality, and react with offense when Europeans tell them “You Americans are all about image instead of reality. Everything about you is fake and superficial. You people are living in a cliché.”
It is true that sitting in a coffee shop in Vienna or at a sidewalk cafe in Rome can be a treasured experience, a result generated by dozens or perhaps even hundreds of charming small details that combine to create a genuine appreciation of one of life’s little pleasures. But these wonderful small experiences cannot be fabricated and still generate a pleasure of life, except perhaps for Americans who appear to have lost entirely the ability to distinguish the sizzle from the steak and to whom the only genuine reality is superficial. There is nothing inherently wrong with wanting one’s customers to have a good experience, but the American attitude toward creating these is not genuine or sincere; it is cheap, fake, and artificial, a psycho-induced emotional response to a fake reality. Instead of trying to understand how to give customers a real, genuine, pleasant experience as they would receive in Vienna or Rome, the Americans are spending millions trying to understand how to fabricate in their customers the artificial “feelings” of an experience without actually giving them anything. One needs to wonder what the hell Americans think about, what goes on in those minds. And again, if anybody needs an “experience” so badly they have to go to a Starbucks or a Wal-Mart to find it, what they really need is a life.
One of the most obvious sources of evidence of the ingrained superficiality that pervades America today is fruit and vegetable production. There are almost no fruits and few vegetables produced in the US today that have any taste, and there are almost no Americans who know what good fruit tastes like. The reason explains much about the American mentality. US growers wanted to eliminate the natural blemishes that occur on most fruits, so these were cross-bred through many generations to produce a cosmetically-perfect appearance. Next, sporadic and uneven ripening was inconvenient and expensive since pickers would have to return for many days over a month or more to pick all the fruit, so growers cross-bred the fruit to ripen as nearly as possible on the same day. Next, tenderness and delicacy were a problem because fruits are often damaged during packing and transportation, so the growers cross-bred the fruits for toughness and hardiness. It’s no secret they succeeded. You can take an apple in an American supermarket and throw it against a concrete wall, with the only damage being to the wall. Then, they wanted to standardise the sizes, so they cross-bred for size consistency, after which shelf life was a problem. Natural fruits will last at best only a few days before they begin to spoil, so growers cross-bred fruits that could be picked green and would last for months. Finally, they cross-bred for artificial color.
In all of this, the Americans were so interested in cosmetics and profit that they sacrificed the only important quality which was taste. The result is apples that taste like cardboard if they have any taste at all, and most don’t. We can buy American Granny Smith apples in supermarkets in Shanghai, with a taste somewhere between clay and tissue paper. Eating an American peach is like chewing on a piece of soft wood. American oranges from Florida are just a bitter, tasteless pulp, as are most strawberries. One American grower claimed that the entire fruit industry was about “decorating stores”, instead of providing delicious food. It’s all about appearance, marketing and corporate profit, an underlying philosophy that perfectly mirrors the superficial American attitude to most things, from automobiles to education. The American version of a peach is a pretty colored ball of dry cellulose that can be picked green and hard, thrown off rail cars and thrown onto trucks, transported for weeks and stored for months, then ripened artificially by exposure to methane gas. It’s the perfect American fruit; hard as a rock, indestructible, has a shelf life of 75 years more or less, and with its lack of taste perfectly reflected in its customers. If you see an American apple in a Chinese supermarket in May or June, that apple has been sitting somewhere for almost a year, and the fact that it hasn’t rotted does not mean it’s edible. All American fruit should be avoided, not only for tastelessness but for the chemicals and GM dangers.

Sometimes it is important to step back from the day to day struggle for the planet earth and look at the big picture. Here the evidence is clear. The planet earth is headed for some sort of Cambrian explosion type event and dark forces are trying to prevent this from happening. In other words, we are dealing with something far more important than just a 21st century political struggle.
To understand what is at stake, let us look again at the Cambrian explosion. For about 3.5 billion years, life on earth was microscopic in scale. What we would have been able to see with the naked eye would have been brown scum or maybe mats of algae. Then suddenly, about 530 million years ago, macro-life exploded into being. The oceans were filled with a dazzling variety of life forms that were trillions of times larger than anything that existed before. It was the evolutionary equivalent of a big bang.
We are now facing a similar type of evolutionary big bang. The reason is that humans have learned how to control and channel the life force. We now have the technology to use the basic genetic building blocks of life to create new forms of life. We are also close to attaining immortality and super powers.
For example, we can now take an ordinary chicken and turn it into a T Rex like creature weighing many tons with just a few genetic tweaks. Whether or not we want to create hunting reserves filled with mutant T rex chickens is another question; the point is we now have the power to do such things.
We can also alter our own genes so that we could have the strength of an ant, the eyes of an eagle, radar like bats, sonar like dolphins, electro-senses from eels etc. We can also become virtually immortal. So, we could all become immortal super-beings. This is not science fiction, it is now actually possible. This means we need an open debate on what to do about this new found god like power that we have. At the very least, I believe most of us would rather live a lot longer than we do now.
The standard argument that we hear against immortality is that “the planet would become overcrowded. That is a lie. First of all, at present, if we gave each person a Chinese style subsistence farm, we could fit the entire population of the earth in the State of Texas. Also, with energy technology that has been suppressed, we could create entire new eco-systems in the deserts, the frozen wastelands and underground. We do not even have to invoke “free energy.” This can be done with hydrogen taken from water using solar power, for example. This means we could support many times more people –living in harmony with nature- than we have now, even if we are prevented from colonizing space
However, something, or someone, is trying to prevent this from happening. When we look at what has happened to us, especially in the West, over the past two years, we can see that a powerful group has been trying to alter our genes with vaccines designed to turn us into domesticated animals. As Henry Kissinger once famously boasted: “In the future it will be as impossible for the ordinary people to rebel against us as it is for a sheep to rebel against a farmer.” We are fighting against a tribal group that wants to monopolize the ability to become superhuman. They want the rest of us to have short, ignorant lives of inescapable and permanent slavery.
In other words, humanity is at a cross roads. Either we go down the path of permanent enslavement or we rise to a whole new level of existence. Nobody I know wants to become a farm animal living in inhuman conditions so, we have a fight on our hands.
In order to defeat the high level psychopaths who control us, let us look at what a forensic, fact-based investigation can tell us about who, or what, is trying to prevent the new Cambrian explosion.
That is why I want share my own direct experiences (for the benefit of many new readers who may not have heard the story) with this malevolent entity that is trying to keep humanity from developing.
My entry into the secret battle for the planet earth started when I read UN reports from the 1990’s that said poverty and environmental destruction could be stopped by the year 2000. All that was needed was $200 billion a year to end poverty and $400 billion a year to stop environmental destruction, the reports said.
I realized this could be accomplished by convincing the Japanese to act. Japan was sitting on $ 7 trillion it had earned from exporting cars, TVs etc. to the rest of the world since then end of World War II. That meant they could end poverty, stop environmental destruction and still have $6.4 trillion in change to spend on colonizing the universe or whatever.
This was why I began trying to convince the Japanese people to spend their money for this purpose. As Asia Pacific Bureau Chief for Forbes magazine, I used to be a regular on prime time Japanese TV. However, when I started talking about Japan deciding to spend its own money to save the planet, I was put on a blacklist. TV producers told me they wanted me on but that they had been ordered not to.
In Japan, the blacklist was created by the government of Junichiro Koizumi, his henchmen Isao Iijima of Japanese intelligence and Finance Minister Heizo Takenaka. As I started exposing these high level criminals in the Japanese government, many Japanese journalists told me that if a Japanese person had reported the sort of things I did, I would have been killed long ago. It is well documented that the occupiers of Japan since world war II used Japanese organized crime gangs to murder dissident journalists, politicians etc.
By this point to try to understand what was really happening, I had cultivated sources in Japanese ninkyo organizations (they are typically called yakuza but that is a derogative). They, told they were only allowed to kill Japanese and that they sub-contracted for the CIA and Mossad.
In any case, the real trip into the rabbit hole began after I started reporting that Takenaka had handed over control of all of Japan’s listed companies to foreign “vulture funds.” A forensic investigation showed these funds were controlled -via foundations- by people like the Rockefellers and the Rothschilds. At the time, time (around 2004-6) there was literally not a single world about the real power of these controllers on the entire internet. The closest thing I could find was a single sentence on an Israeli chat board saying “there was a rumour the Rothschilds contributed to the creation of Israel.”
When I got a chance to interview Takenaka (he thought it was to promote his book), I confronted him with the fact he had handed over control of all of Japan’s listed corporations to the Rockefellers and Rothschilds.
That is when I opened a Pandora’s box. Takenaka (who recently was at Davos) later sent a self-described Ninja assassin to meet me. He told me I would be given the job of Finance Minister of Japan but, only if I agreed to a plan to kill 90% of the worlds’ population. He explained this was necessary to “protect the environment” and that since war did not kill enough people, this time they were going to use disease and starvation (I have it on tape). If I did not go along, I would be killed, he added. This self-described assassin later -at great personal risk- handed me a tape recording that said the people behind this plot to kill 90% of humanity were “the elders of Zion.”
At around this time Kaoru Nakamura, a cousin of the Emperor Hirohito, also approached me and gave me a video tape showing evidence 911 was an inside job. At the time, I thought “this is the ‘anti-semitic’ conspiracy theory I had read about in the New York Times.”
However, when I was finally convinced to look at the evidence, it became obvious that 911 was an inside job. As a trained journalist I began to follow the evidence trail to its source.
Anyway, to cut a long story short, the investigation led me via Heizo Takenaka and his handler Henry Kissinger straight to David Rockefeller. When Rockefeller came to Japan to promote a Japanese language translation of his auto-biography, I was able to get an interview. He apparently thought it was arranged by his people to publicize his book.
After interviewing Rockefeller, a whole parade of secret societies and groups popped out of the woodwork. The Gnostic Illuminati sent Sasha Zarik aka Alexander Romanov to meet me. Zarik said he had been recruited by the former chess champion Bobby Fischer. This group recruits 6,000 influential people form each generation who are not part of the ancient ruling bloodline elite. He said their group was responsible for the American, French and Russian revolutions. What these revolutions had in common was an attack on the bloodline aristocracy. They are especially influential in meritocratic organizations like the US military and among self-made billionaires. That is why it is good guess people like Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos are members. The gnostic illuminati told me they were going to stage a world revolution this time, Then I was approached by the P2 Freemasons via Leo Zagami. They told me they had been ruling the planet for the past 26,000 years based on a plot given to them by extra-terrestrial beings. The plot was calibrated according to the motions of the moon and the planets, he said. Zagami said the plot ran out in 2012 but the controllers decided to ad lib on their own after that date in order to cling to power. This group claims to control the Vatican, the mafia and world communism. They told me they would get rid of Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi and Pope Ratzinger and they did.
The P2 also made a deal with Asian secret societies. They promised to put a black communist in power in the United States in 2008 in exchange for continued funding from Asia. This led to a deal to use 700 tons of Asian gold to create 750,000 tons worth of gold backed bonds. This led to the creation of $23 trillion that kept the US Corporate government afloat until 2020 when the funds ran out.
The P2 also took credit for the Fukushima attack against Japan on March 11, 2011. This was used to force Japan to hand over the $7 trillion it had earned since WWII.
Over the years there was a whole long list of other groups that appeared including: the Dragon Family, the Japanese three legged crow society. Mossad, the CIA, the NSA, the Russian FSB, MI6 the Red Swastika, various Chinese secret societies, the Red Dragon (communist China), the Blue Dragon (the ancient Middle Easter guild of assassins) the US secret space force etc.
In each case I actually met in person with representatives of these groups who provided clear proof they were real and powerful.
在每一个案例中,我都亲自会见了这些团体的代表,他们提供了明确的证据,证明这些团体是真实和强大的。
These groups have now formed an alliance to liberate the planet earth and initiate the new Cambrian explosion. The group known as the Khazarian mafia that wants to kill 90% of humanity and enslave the rest is now fighting for its survival.
So now the KM is desperately trying to carry out its agenda to kill 90% of humanity with events like the pandemic, the vaccine campaign, the engineered food crisis, the war in the Ukraine etc.
The alliance is fighting back by hunting down KM operatives and staging an international boycott of the United States and other countries still under KM rule. .
