★ American Electronic Intelligence Gathering Demonstrates U.S. White House: “Do As We Say, Not As We Do” Mentality

News Analysis: Apparently for years, the Omnipotent U.S. National Security Agency (NSA)  had penetrated a Major Chinese Electronics Manufacturer, while decrying alleged Chinese efforts to ‘Look into America’. Espionage, is perhaps the “World’s Second Oldest Profession”, so ‘Knowing what the Other Guy is Doing’ is of Importance and is ‘Here to Stay’: Reality.

The OVER-REACHING ELEMENT in the present tete-a-tete is that ‘Haranguing’ to the World about purported Chinese Electronic Intelligence gathering is what the “Griper” (America)  has been doing FOR YEARS; this to the ENTIRE WORLD (Including ‘Allies’).

The IGNORANCE of American Intelligence Agencies is that apparently they egotistically thought their efforts would not “See the Light of Day” by the World’s People; they were WRONG, many say.

Now, who with any sense would Trust AMERICAN:  Government, Computer and Electronics Suppliers, Internet Relationship Sites, Manufacturers of Business Aircraft, Shipyards, Yacht Yards, (or ANY OTHER Communications/Transportation/Weapon Systems), and Software Creators. ALL OF THE AFOREMENTIONED CAN BE COMPROMISED FOR INTELLIGENCE DATA (and probably is by the ‘NSA’).

The “Holier Than Thou” Proclamations coming from Washington, D.C. has exacerbated the current developing crisis regarding “Loss of Trust” of American Product Producers (who build ‘that which can be compromised’).

The Present Very Low Credibility of the White House, Domestically and Internationally, further denigrates any possible positive results for a turn-around. Its Lies regarding what was REPETITIVELY TOLD to Americans “You can keep your present Health Insurance” was like the “Titanic’s Iceberg”; it sank this ship.

Loyal Americans, of which there are Hundreds of Millions, do not like being “Sheared Like Sheep By a Wolf”; The Rest of the World’s Population resents the Shearing even more.

Trust must be Earned; it is more Precious than Gold.

Reality.

Finland’s Small Construction Contractors: Tax Evasion Is Where Authorities Look

News Analysis: Finland’s Small Construction Contractors: Tax Evasion Is Where Authorities Look; some individuals say is really due to Tax Rates being too High. However, a Corporate Tax Rate of 20% along with a Maximum National Personal Tax Rate of 30% can hardly be designated to be ‘Draconian’.

Finnish Tax Authorities discovered approximately $200 Million Dollars of Tax Revenue Losses when inspecting the books of Small Construction Projects. This sum contributes to European Tax Authorities Estimate of almost $1 Trillion Dollars in Yearly Tax Revenue Losses through Evasion throughout Europe; no small sum.

Since the “Morality of the Marketplace” is so Low, one can presume Tax Evasion will continue to grow throughout Europe. The VERY SAME Tax Evaders will be the first to complain about: The Poor Conditions of their Country’s Roadways; Not Close-Enough Schools for their Children; Insufficient Fire and/or Police Protection; Shoddy Public Health Care; Etc.- All Paid For By Tax Revenues (which they Evade).

Financial Tax Hypocrisy is Alive and Well.

☆ Cartographer, With Integrity, Deals With Reality

News Analysis: A Cartographer, With Integrity, Deals With Reality since their noted Historically Independent Nature is not constrained by Politicians. To the Cartographer’s credit, they are seeing: which way the Wind Vane is pointing, waiting for Proper Legalities to occur, then finishing their editing. Since this adjustment reflects the 98%+/- vote of Citizens in the subject area, Democracy has occurred.

Militarization and Missile Weaponization Plots (MMWP)  by Far Away Nations are Naïve at best. For far away Nations to think their  ‘MMWP’ would not be realized and Counter-Moves taken by the ‘Targeted Country” is Naïve at best. Now, the Voting Area has joined the “Targeted Country”; things blew up in the Cabalists faces.

We continue to maintain: “There Are No Long Term Secrets”.

One should not be surprised if, in a little while, the “Winds of Change” blow in a Different Direction. This might happen (once the poorer “Brothers” see what their richer “Brothers” have gained by ‘annexing’ with the North-East). They might understand they had been “Conned” by other Outsiders with Hidden Hostile Agendas.

The Cartographer may have to add even more ink to an additionally greater portion of the Map it is in the process of editing now.

Piraeus, Greece To Become Chinese Electronic Center Serving Southeastern Europe

News Analysis: Piraeus, Greece To Become Chinese Electronic Center Serving Southeastern Europe as China continues its Wise Investments in Greece. Greece has at least one Asset not many other countries offer: Strategic Location. For China to step in as it has already done relative to Ship Container Operations in Piraeus,  evidences wonderful Foresight; something many other Nations apparently lost.

Now the Chinese can develop their Electronic Assembly/Repair capability in Greece when the Country asks for Citizen’s Employment Opportunities.

Southeastern European Countries to be beneficiaries of this Electronics Investment are: Austria, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, and Spain. 

Astute Entrepreneurs and Investors should consider utilizing China’s Concept and Fund Projects in Greece. Prime Minister Antonis Samaras of Greece will surely be receptive to Projects which employ his Citizenry.

☆ U.S. National Security Agency (NSA) Gets its Data From Very Willing IT Contract Companies

News Analysis: Contrary to Protestations by IT Contract Companies (including “Internet Relationship” Sites), that they were “Kidnapped By The ‘NSA'”,  as we have stated many times, many were allegedly initially funded by various Intelligence Agencies, many people state. The ‘NSA’ does not now nor has it before, needed to act as a “Petty Crook”; it is an Organized Global Information Funnel.

That the ‘NSA’ does what it does should not be surprising to the “Aware”; the ‘NSA’ has the Drive, Funding, and Intellect to do as it chooses; one may not like it but a person of Wisdom will Respect It.

Since the IT Companies “Lie” to the American Public about their ‘NSA’ involvement they are as credible as one stating “You can keep your existing Health Insurance Policies” to the same Public; obviously they are of Minuscule Value.

What apparently is hurting these ‘Anything For A Buck” Personages in IT (but they are loathe to admit), is that they are losing money by each Revelation about the ‘NSA’. Not purchasing American Designed and Manufactured Electronic Components and Systems will further enhance their misery.

These ‘Worms’ trying to lie their ways out of the ‘Oven’ are of little surprise; their “God” is MONEY. They Worship it in choosing Partners, Employees, Close Relationships, and especially Business Deals. They really are mere “Dollar Hookers” acting as “Luxury Call Girls”; they wear the wrong Cosmetics to fool anyone.

Birds of a Feather Flock Together: such is “Silicon Valley’.

☆ Tibetan Mastiffs (TM’s): Big Dogs; Big Status; Big Prices

News Analysis: Tibetan Mastiffs ‘TM’s’: Big Dogs; Big Status; Big Prices for Wealthy Chinese Buyers who appreciate this Ancient Breed. ‘TM’s’ ,which are not really “Mastiffs”, have two coats of hair. There is a “Lion Head” Mastiff with very long hair and a “Tiger Head” Mastiff with shorter hair. The size of approximately 33 inches for the Male, along with the hair make the Mastiff very Impressive to observers.

The Tibetan Mastiff is of high intellect and very decisive. Its strong-willed nature makes for owners of this Breed to like-wise be uncompromising in training. Since this Breed is historically used as a Guardian, it should be thought of as such and precautions taken.

As the Breed is large, unfortunately, the life-span is relatively short. Anticipated Purchasers of the Breed should consider this element: “Losing” One’s ‘Heavy Investment’ (in a short-lived Pet) is Unfortunate; “Losing” a ‘Loyal Four-Legged Friend’ is Pathetic.

☆ Lloyd’s of London (LOL) Regulations Seek To Enhance Polar Shipping

News Analysis: World Renowned Insurer Lloyd’s of London (LOL) will be submitting Regulations for Polar Shipping which may supplement any shortcomings in those of the International Maritime Organization (IMO). As an Insurer, the view it takes may be of slightly different perspective than the ‘IMO’. While both are dealing with the Omnipresent Vagaries in the Arctic Environment, the Continuing Dynamics of this Area may present Risks which may be of Inordinate Consequence to all involved: Shipping Company; Freight Owner; Insurance Company; Re-Insurance Company; Government(s); and, the Planet Earth. If a “Negative Event” occurs, the ‘IMO’ does not ‘take the Financial Hit’, the Insurance Company(s) does.

Once Regulations have been decided upon, Shipping Companies will know what Personnel Training, Vessel Improvements or New-Buildings of Vessels will be necessary to traverse the Polar Route safely.

As an example, an improvement to a Vessel or enhancement of a New-Building would be the installation of “Mega-Temp™” Insulation throughout the Interior of the Hull thus keeping it Warmer, Quieter, and certainly Drier. In a New-Building, where temperature sensitivity of Chemicals was important, compartments insulated with “Mega-Temp™” would NOT be affected by the Cold of the Polar Route. Containerized Vessels traversing the Polar Route should have both their Hulls and Containers treated with “Mega-Temp™” Insulation so Electronics being shipped therein are not damaged by the Severe Cold of the Arctic.

Insurance Actuaries will be able to establish rates for coverage once Regulations are decided upon by the “IMO’ and ‘LOL’ pertaining to the Polar Route; much like the Chinese did in 3000 B.C. for traversing treacherous Rivers.
