Yemen Electrical Power will Come from China

News Analysis:  Yemen Electrical Power Will Come From China due to New Energy Facilities it will Build the Nation. This poorest Arab Country needs Electrical Power for its residents as well as for Commerce. Power Plants will provide their needs. Yemenis can have their Standards-of-Living ‘SOL’ raised by the Port Expansions as well. 

The Generous Funding by China is a continuation of its Well-Respected Funding Program of  Nations’ Infra-Structure Improvements. 

The “Hearts and Minds” of a Nation’s Citizens are won by Assisting Them in their ‘SOL’ Growth. Also, creating a ‘Positive Thoughts’ Environment “PTE” in which they can reside is essential. If they are  Cold, Fearful, Hungry, Ill, or Poor, they will not be happy. Worldly-Wise Individuals realize An Unhappy Mind is the Devil’s Workshop. Happy people, typically, do not become ‘Radicalized’.

“Bayonet Diplomacy” by using Military Force, practiced by some Super Powers, is a Long-Term Counter-Productive Policy. Both ‘SOL’ as well as “PTE” Needs remain unanswered in that Country, to date.

 A Super-Power with Excessive Financial Indebtedness Cannot readily help Itself, let alone, hope to help Needy Nations. Reality.

Saudi Arabia Oil Market is Better Stable than Erratic

News Analysis:  Saudi Oil Market Is Better Stable Than Erratic for Oil Producers as well as Customers. Saudi Arabian Oil Executives know that other Petroleum Sources are coming ‘on-line’, To their credit, they have the foresight to see this as a ‘Positive’ rather than a ‘Negative’ for the World Petroleum Industry.

Erratic Markets lead to possible Increased Inefficient Expenditures for Exploration, Production, and Processing ‘EPP’ when Oil Buyer Demands increase quickly. If the Demands thereafter wane, the ‘EPP’ Monies spent deplete Earnings Percentages; Overcapacity results. An anticipated ‘Feast” becomes a ‘Famine’ in terms of Net Revenue for the Oil Entity. Since ‘EPP’ of the Oil Industry is so substantial, in part due to its Technical Complexity, it may take years to recover past expenditures.

Stable Markets become more predictable over time for Buyers as well as Sellers. Efficient allocation of funds for ‘EPP” occurs. Equilibrium of Supply and Demand is Essential.

Efficiency is in the Saudi Arabians’ Interest since they are “Giants” in this Industry. As such, their Expenditures are ‘Upped’ by the ‘Great Scale’ of their Oil Operations.

Saudi Arabian Oil Executives thoroughly understand not only the Present regarding Other Petroleum Sources in the World,  but they also Properly Envision the Future of them.

Japan’s Territory Might Expand Naturally

News Analysis: Japan’s Territory Might Expand Naturally through the growth of  a Volcanic Islet. If Lava Output exceeds Ocean-caused Erosion, a Japanese Island will be created. Extending Japan’s Sovereignty out to such an Anticipated Island, would give the country thousands of square kilometers of Territory. The territorial increase would bode well for Japanese Fisheries and the like.

Germany Communicates Its Extreme Displeasure of Electronic Privacy Invasions by Foreigners

News Analysis: Germany Communicates Its Extreme Displeasure of Electronic Privacy Invasions By Foreigners.  Substantial Cost to the Cell Phone Manufacturer, which is Accused of being a Co-Conspirator, may result. The Economic And Good Will Loss  to the American Cell Phone Manufacturer can be sizable. Its short term Economic Gain by purportedly cooperating in the Cabal may bring it long term Public Distrust. Public Opprobrium has a Long Life.

Beyond the Harmed Country’s ‘Mere’ Displeasure can loom possible  Criminal Prosecution for Secrecy Laws Violations.

Encrypted Communications can occur with German Produced Componentry in  locally Manufactured Equipment ergo, Confidentiality is more probable “in the Short Term”. However, the Decoding Capabilities of the U.S. National Security Agency (NSA) are Legendary; It is a “Code Breaker Supreme”.

There are No Long Term Secrets. Reality.

America’s National Security Agency (NSA) Costs the Country More Than Just Its Budget

News Analysis: America’s National Security Agency [NSA] Costs the Country More Than Just Its Budget. It also Costs Losing International Customers [who deplore Invasions of Privacy by Foreigners in particular]. Since 7.141+ Billion People on Earth do not understand how the ‘NSA’ can be above America’s Law, they Choose to Stop Doing Business with U.S. Companies.

Since there are people who say Washington, D.C. is Ruled by Mountebanks, such Sceptics  will only engage Trustworthy Companies. The American Elite who allow for such Privacy Travesties  should realize “Power which is Given, Can be Taken Away”; that is why Elections are held.

As the NSA continues with its Agenda, which it surely will, Economic Calamity may befall those American Corporations who Stealthily aided it.  Those Corporations that “Sold Their Souls” for A ‘Buck’ and Lost their Integrity, are on the “Down Slope” where Respect is involved.

A Good Reputation is Hard To Build; But Easy To Destroy. Reality.

Chinese Yuan Quickly Becoming an International Currency

News Analysis: Chinese Yuan Quickly Becoming An International Currency bodes well for other Nations of the World: It gives those Countries an additional Financial Choice. As Small Examples: a Government can engage in Arbitrage of its own currency against the U.S. Dollar or the European Euro. In  doing so, the value of its Currency Reserves may be enhanced; Privately,  Corporations around the World may find it more opportune to pay for Goods and/or Services with the Yuan; Businesses in China may find More International Customers for their Goods and Services.

One may assume that China realizes that the Profligate Debt of the United States [Currently $17 Trillion+ and Growing] will have a Long-Term Effect of reducing the value of the Dollars it holds.

No Permanent and Workable Solution for the Timely Repayment of  the ‘Mount Everest’ of Debt, has been decided by the American Government. So, the Financial Debt Avalanche Grows in both Size and Complexity. Its further Anticipated Borrowing will merely Compound the Problem. If Natural Calamities occur, such as Hurricanes ‘Hugo’ or more recently ‘Sandy’, then More Debt Will Occur. Even to the present, the U.S. Federal Government HAS NOT fully paid for the damages caused by Hurricane Sandy. Additionally, if another War were to occur, a Colossal Debt Increase will be realized. Inordinate Spending by “Washington” MUST STOP.

A Fundamental Attribute on the “Income-Side” of the Financial Ledger is that Debt is Partially Reduced by  Income Growth. As against other Nations, America has fewer Unique Goods it can sell  them. In part, this is because Washington’s Leaders with their Trade Agreements did not realize a Simple Economic Fact of Life: “A Successful  Country sells its Products Not the Technologies to Produce those Products”. Once the Technologies are Transferred and  Revealed, the Customer Countries merely duplicate the End-Products [and sell them at a Lesser Price]! Thereafter, the Short-Sightedness of the Initial Technology Countries continues to “Bite-Them-In The Pocketbook”.

This has Already Happened to America [Technology Transfer].

Perhaps, Some Countries are in their current Inextricable Economic Dire Straits due to a Lack of Financial Common-Sense by their Government Leaders. This is Not Rocket Science.

Reality.
