“Fake News”: The Choice Of Puppet Masters’ Masters [PMM’s]For Influencing Sheep About: Business, Health, Politics, Or Weather> Financial Gain Is Their Aim.

As Main Stream Media {MSM}, the agents of the PMM’s, go about their tasks of influencing Sheep to have favorable [or un-favorable] views and commensurate actions by the quadra-peds, we see repetitive tactics used consistently.

“Global Warming” became the ‘sine qua non’ rallying cry to the Sheep. Apparently, they were not listening, so “voila!”, a transformation to the current ‘Climate Change‘ became fashionable. MSM ‘Germalists’ started panic pronouncements about: “All of the world’s ice deposits are melting and everyone in most locales risk being flooded out [Anthropogenesis was, and is, at work”, all were told]. Any claims that Gaia was merely in a natural ‘ebb and flow’ of energy levels, historically recurring, was derided as heretical. To suggest ‘Cosmic’ contributions through solar storms, et al, was, and is, even more blasphemous.

We, in International Business, are amused by many examples of the ‘tu quoque’ ideations. One glaring example is the Financial Community extolling the virtues of fighting global warming, and blaming others, while at the same time establishing data mining operations for crypto-currencies [which use enormous amounts of electricity!]. Are these ‘mining operations’ the best use of electricity when and where ‘brown-outs’ and ‘black-outs’ are feasible? In areas where such hot conditions might not be of concern, why not sell the surplus of electricity to other nations? Touted wind-farms and solar parks could benefit societies greater than ‘financial creations’ even less ‘sturdy’ than “Derivatives” brokers love.

The “Northern Transportation Corridor” [NTC], which has opened up, is a very viable and needed addition for transportation of commodities and goods across the Arctic, from Asia to Europe, and back, we think. The recent unfortunate blockage of the Suez Canal due to inclement weather events, is a valid reason to have more routes around the planet. The fact that Russian experience in such cold environments is spectacular, should lead businessmen to seek shorter transit times so they can have greater profits. The facilities, and ships of Russia will assure safe sailing; “No ‘Pirates’ dare take on the Bear”. Russian Leadership, under steadfast President Putin, makes this entire geography accessible for commercial endeavors also. Investors should consider Arctic and Siberian economic opportunities in this ‘Land of Plenty’, are our opinions. Yet, MSM acolytes apparently have apparently been instructed by PMM’s orders to denigrate Russia for protecting its ‘turf’ with its military might. Since this NTC is extremely valuable, why would the sovereign nation possessing it, not protect it? The Non-Governmental Organizations have been busy in this regard, we have noticed. Again, this is another example for MSM “Germalists” trying to make “Bears” morphed into “Wolves”; genetically, this is not possible. Instead, to people who think, might not they opine that the real “Wolves” are the PMM’s? PMM’s” look out for PMM’s, eleemosynary objectives are not their fortes.

Another interesting “Fake News” outpouring, we think, has been: “A nation’s Insidious, Unscrupulous, Usurious lending of monies and technologies to other nations for commercial infrastructure growth therein” MSM Germalists claim. Our opinions are: It is a insult to recipient nations to think their Accountants, Engineers, Estimators, and Fabricators cannot assess, freely and openly, over a period of months or years, if they want to proceed with the lender. It is also asinine to the lender to have its motives besmirched. Who is coercing these countries to engage? None whom we are aware. They certainly can seek competitive bids from other lenders if they choose. One cannot fault a ancient culture for wanting to benefits its people even more, as it helps other peoples elsewhere.

We have written, a number of times about Coronavirus CV19 and the Germalists writing about the ‘Pandemic’ [before it was even one]. Who put the idea in their heads: “To stir up the herd”? Today, ‘Cocksure’ about a “Meat Market malaise” commencing the CV19 situation, months ago, now has morphed into a nation’s Biologic Lab being the insipient locus. Yet, we who analyze world-actions, are not so sure of this reputed source, as we had written. Even if research was on-going at a particular laboratory, it certainly does not preclude others, in lands around the world, from doing similar research. If funded by the wealthy, or super-wealthy, others with different political and/or social agendas could acheive their goals; economic being one of them. The fact that since the pandemic onset, many billionaires have made more billions. Perhaps some were in on the scheme? Forensic studies may reveal much more to this tragedy than mere “Virions running amok, due to Mother Nature”.

People do not trust the Media, it is the acolyte of the PMMs, nothing more. While the lackey “Germalists” get pennies, they help the PMMs make billions of dollars. “Want a ‘Pandemic’?” “No problem.”

Realty: Long term or short term, “It is the money, Sonny; all ways and always, the money”.

As The Ancient, Huge, ‘Dire Wolves’ [Aenocyon dirus] Disappeared Due To “Gross Size Inefficiencies” (Relative To Their Environments), Will Today’s Many Gigantic ‘Economic Wolves’ Meet Similar Fates?

Repeatedly over the many decades, we have observed incipient tactics employed by both corporations and individuals, who had the unfortunate behavior of believing press reports favorable of them. In America, just a few years ago, their was ‘Enron Corporation’, a Texas energy company, who was apparently too self-assured of its self-importance that it ran afoul of the law and was penalized according by the U.S. Government.

In Britain, a few years ago, Publisher Robert Maxwell, appeared so self-confident of his infallibility, his empire collapsed. He physically perished, in a drowning accident, so all of the lawsuits against him were not witnessed by this man.

In South America, rampant bribery to some political leaders in the area, by Brazil’s Odebrecht Corporation, has shamed many people who thought their ill-gotten gains would remain secret. Many of the miscreants were imprisoned. The “Panama Papers” exposure voided their secrecies. There are NO long term secrets.

Today, in America, for example, their are many Washington, D.C. politicians who ‘entered the game’ with mere dollars in their wallets, and will exit as multi-millionaires. Certainly their salaries approaching $200,000.00 a year (plus benefits) are not responsible for their great accumulations. One may assume that their ”Information Disconnected”[due to U.S. Laws] makes their spouses ‘Miraculous Money Mavens Making Meritorious Moves’ in the world of high finance? Maybe a ‘timely’ great inheritance from Uncle Wilbur? Will any be prosecuted for corruption? Perhaps not.

As we learn of spectacular largesse by San Jose, California’s ‘Silicon Valley’ [SV] nabobs in giving away hundreds of millions of dollars, merely to ensure voter participation in elections, we cannot but be in awe of such munificence. We must wonder which of the Puppet Masters’ Masters formulated the amounts and to whom, for these [Non-Governmental Operations (NGO’s) they OWN? One merely has to research the individuals and legal entities in the various SV “Pre-Initial Public Offerings” to find, what one finds.

As International Businessmen, who have been, over the decades, here, there, and everywhere, we would advise the large Dire Wolves [Beneficiary Governments]: “Do not overplay the hands of your mere Puppet Masters in Silicon Valley. Enjoy the financial success you have attained with your brilliant Chess moves. However, realize, these young ‘Front-Men’ of yours are not credible to people who have ‘been around the block several times’. You do not want to try to repeat the readily ascertainable ‘Silent Coup of 2020’; for you, the situation then may become dire. Your ‘Front Men’ should take early retirements, for everyone’s benefit; their and yours.

The larger the Dire Wolf became, the harder is was for him to adapt, and quickly move in his changing environment. Now he is extinct. Such is the fate of Dire Wolves who become too big for the world. They will perish, one by one; guaranteed.

Reality: Getting burnt once or twice can even make a Wolf afraid of fire.

Puppet Masters’ Masters [PMM’s] May Have Won A U.S. Battle, However, Evidence Of A Possible Ensuing Avalanche Of World Distrust, Shows They Will Have Lost The War

The very predictable ‘sham’ Presidential Election in America (Circa 2020) allowed PMM’s and their Puppet Masters to rejoice in their collusive success. They had the support in America, of many States’ Politicians; U.S. Intelligence Agencies’ Leaders; the Justice Department; and a silent Supreme Court, to do their bidding [as well as ‘foreign’ assistance]. The career politician who barely campaigned, along with the financiers of the ‘Silent Coup D’Etat’ knew well beforehand ‘the Fix was In”. The ‘Germalists’ of Main Stream Media were prepared to denigrate anyone who challenged the election outcome as a “Conspiracy Theorist”; they still do.

The other interesting aspect of this cabal was the timing of Coronavirus [CV19] to be touted as a reason for ‘Mail-In Voting’. It has been found to have a great percentage of fraudulent votes [the auditing is presently in progress in many States in America]. The 74,000,000 voters who wanted to maintain the then-President, are realizing the “Wolves decimated the ‘Voting Hen-Houses'”. This realization is evidenced, our extrapolation of the Excellent analysis by “Reuters Institute” and the “University of Oxford“.

The two aforementioned entities produced: “Digital News Report 2021“; it is a WINNER for objective technical analysis, we think. As to the United States, it states that a mere 29% of Americans “trust most news most of the time”. This is the lowest of the ranking of the countries evaluated. It is also evidentiary that both the aforementioned election [and declared results] as well as the subject of CV19, are ‘suspect’ by the citizenry.

We, in International Business, think now, as we did months ago: “Some U.S. Politicians and ‘Silicon Valley’, California, Card Sharps would, and did, ‘overplay’ their hands [as mere amateurs would]. The multi-million dollar ‘get out to vote’ contributions of a few Puppet Masters therein, will NOT provide a sustainable win for their PMM’s as all had hoped for, we think. In fact, as we see the ‘Sheep’ awakening to the treachery to America’s voting sanctity, we anticipate many ‘Rams attacking the Wolves’. The Broadcast Networks, “Germalists”, Newspapers, and other Plotters will be held in great disdain. As revenues diminish, which the Report states, financial pain will gain, as distrust remains.

Brazil, Canada, Finland, Kenya, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, and Thailand are, in all of their geographies’ leaders, in ‘High News Trust’; they are to be commended! We understand why this is so, in part due to their intelligent citizenry, as well as traditions of ‘individualism’. Perhaps there is a imbued “Honesty Ethos” in the cultures, as we have engaged the parties over the decades.

As more and more people in the eight nations above, as well as the others evaluated, leave ‘Newsprint’ and seek data from electronic communications, investors’ monies will be gained for the latter and lost for the former; so it goes in business.

Foreseeing the Silicon Valley nabobs, who spent big on the U.S. President battle, being challenged by the 74,000,000 citizens, of who we write, as well as other disgruntled parties, are our opinions. Even the many politicians who received funds from the nabobs, will want to rethink their positions, presumably.

We suggest ALL of the American cabalists, who were so active in thwarting the election in November, 2020 remember: “The Bible Of America is the United States Constitution; only heretics trifle with it.” As other politicians push the pendulum to the ‘Center’ from the ‘Left’, expect legislation to curtail questionable practices in Silicon Valley and elsewhere. One can follow one’s nose and smell the stench in the air being wafted by the Pacific Ocean.

As to all of the approximately 200 nations of the world, we say “What you Hear; What you Read; What you See”: Trust But Verify. Remember: Wily Wolves may bleat as though they are Sheep.

Reality: Some Poisons are formulated to taste delicious and have sweet aromas.

Effective “Leaders” Lead Their Nations In Innovative Ways, To Increase International Commerce

As we had listed a number of Decisive Leaders of 2020, two this year (2021), we want to mention in particular. One is of a geographic smaller area [176,215 sq. km.], the other of a vast geographic expanse [17,098,242 sq.km.]: Uruguay and Russia. We have watched both countries over the many decades and have seen improvements in economic, political, and social growth FROM OUR PERSPECTIVES. We wholeheartedly endorse: “Capitalism With A Conscience” [CWAC] as a operational paradigm for good governing in seeking economic prosperity; this, for a nation’s long-term sustainability and satisfaction of its citizenry.

In Uruguay, Mr. Luis Alberto Lacalle Pou is establishing a new “Free Trade Zone” which should help his wonderful country, the noted ‘Switzerland of South America’, to be even more prosperous. Since his election, Mr. Pou has consistently shown a determination to increase trade, through Mercosur, as well as desiring free-trade ability for members of that group; a ‘Innovator’ he is. He has moved his country away from the ‘Socialist Agenda’ of his political predecessors.

We think it behooves investors to consider Uruguay as a good place to engage in International Commerce. It has: Intelligent educated citizenry (with good work ethics); Great location; Enjoyable year around weather; Moderate Taxes, Ocean port accessibility; and a Wise Government. Investing Dollars, Euros, Pesos, Renminbi, Yen, et al in Uruguay would be smart. It offers many agricultural opportunities and for ‘Industries’: Chemicals, Electrical Machinery, Petroleum Products, Textiles, and Transportation Equipment exist.

To Uruguay’s North, Northeast direction across the Atlantic ocean is the geographic behemoth Russia: the “Land of Plenty” (as to Minerals, Timber, et al). Its President, Mr. Vladimir Putin, has very capably led his country, from the earlier collapse of his predecessors’ inefficient economic system, we think, to a CWAC realism for his people. Time and again the Russian public polls demonstrate a high esteem for their Leader, a Man who truly Leads his Nation. Now, Mr. Putin has initiated a railway project to the Arctic [Sabetta, Yamal Peninsula] that will supplement portions of the North Sea Route from Europe to Asia, with the flow of goods and materials needed for the gargantuan undertaking. By sailing through this route, shippers will save seven to ten days versus going through the Suez Canal from Asia to Europe. He Has also expanded his Nuclear Ice Breaker Fleet to facilitate shipping. One of the many aspects of his leadership we extol, his financial acumen in keeping his Nation’s expenditures in check and NOT engaging in FOOLISH ‘hyper-expensive’ hegemonic forays around the world [as evidenced by another nation’s recent history].

As we have maintained for decades, many Intelligence Agents make good executives. They have: a wealth of experience in dealing with others; are good thinking ‘on the move’; are resourceful; keep a calm demeanor, and can make proper-timed ‘Chess’ moves. In this regard, we think Mr. Putin is a “Chess Master”, no current political leader anywhere is his equal.

“Jealous others” from afar, [the ‘Germalists’ [writers] in foreign nations’ Mainstream Media] if they try to disparage Mr. Putin’s actions, the more they will demonstrate the effete results of their ‘Handlers’ above them; this, and hostile government leaders in those nations with hidden agendas. Their acrimony is understood, by the intellect of many others, to be merely ‘Sour Grapes’, nothing more valid.

We wish the very best for both President Pou and President Putin as they both facilitate CWAC in their countries.

Reality: Small physical country or large, Great Leaders always demonstrate Integrity and Wisdom, that is why the ‘Man Upstairs’ retains them in the positions.

To Prevent Capsizing, In Stormy Weather, Wise Ship Captains Keep The Vessels Loaded To Or Below The Plimsoll Line; ‘Titanic-Thinking’ “Economic” Commanders, Go Above, Since: “No Storms Are Possible For Them.”

It is refreshing to watch, in International Finance, nations who understand: Indebtedness is a quicksand which can quickly become more liquefied, so sinking to complete submersion are the trekkers’ fates. We watch one Nation, America, whose leaders apparently consider that no financial storms lie ahead for it. The current multi-trillion budget pushed by it Selected President, a former career politician, evidences this attitude. Apparently both he and his minions, do not realize the simple truth: Acquisition of borrowed monies, while attainable, can be a ‘Albatross around the neck’ of the borrower, when ‘bad times’ hit. Repayment of funds and interest charges can be ominous.

The announcement that another “World Power”, Russia, released excellent debt results, evidence the contrary to historical flagrant hegemonic forays of the United States. The “Bear’s mere $268,000,000,000.00 in domestic debt and its minuscule current $56,000,000,000.00 is we think, a testament to sound economics by Russian political leaders. As for America today, its National Debt is $28,075,082,266,154.00+! As International Businessmen, “who have been around the block many times”, we cannot conceive of such financial ‘largess’ flagrantly strewn about.

It is our opinions that the level of narcissism shown by American Political Leaders, without a doubt demonstrate a ignorance of Economics. In this regards, they are not alone, as we have written before, Greece comes to mind as a grossly indebted nation also; Its citizens apparently do not comprehend the ‘pain to repay, with interest’, its enormous debt of today’s Euros: 356,920,217,147+. Its leaders want to purchase more military hardware, it has been reported. Do they want more financial pain? It makes no sense whatsoever.

We are of the opinion: “Wise competing countries do not have to worry whatsoever about hegemonic America attacking them militarily. Instead, its Intelligence Agencies will be tasked with electronic forays into encroachments into other nations ‘I.T.’ territories. Additionally, the possibility exists of its 200+ biologic labs being tasked with creating new viruses for employment. The financial limitations on America has ‘hand-cuffed’ it for decades to come. This, as to wholesale slaughter such as it previous performance in Iraq [with its fantasy “Weapons of Mass Destruction” ‘verified’ by U.S. Intelligence Agencies?]

Unless America, commences getting its financial house in order, other nations, conservatively operated, will be waving ‘Good-Bye’ as they progress past it. We think the U.S. needs ‘Businessmen’ for its leaders, not old career politicians, who exist without term limits [which would bring their mediocrities to end].

Russia’s Elvira Nabiullina, as Central Bank head, should feel proud of her accomplishments. It appears she has no competitors on America’s side of the Atlantic Ocean or elsewhere. Perhaps some humble government Economists in the District of Columbia or Athens may want to sit down with the young lady to listen, hear, and understand Economic Paradigms that work.

Reality: ‘Narcissim’ has much in common with ‘Narcotics’; beside having their four starting letters being the same, nations’ leaders need to understand: They both destroy the possessors.

Leadership 101: In Business, As In Economics And Politics, Make Sure Your Ladder Is Higher Than The Hole You Are Digging

In America, we see the situation being: A President who was ‘Selected’, not ‘Elected’, must now try to deal with other World Leaders, who lead and will challenge him in all arenas: Economic, Geo-Political, Military, and Social. The problem for this gentleman’s acolytes, who got him ‘installed’ in office: They have energized other countries, who KNOW the career politician, to challenge America in all of its ‘Chess Moves’. Since these other countries are far less indebted financially than the U.S. [with its current indebtedness to others being $27,752,835,868,445.00+], it is essentially ‘handcuffed’ due to catastrophically poor decisions by prior U.S. Presidents. The acolytes of which we speak: primarily ‘Silicon Valley’ nabobs who thought they could act as Satrips in their fiefdoms. Instead, this professional politician who was selected by them, and whom they provided communication, financial, and “other” support, is perhaps awakening [or are his minions recruited directly from a previous President’s entourage]. This epiphany is that the ‘White House’ is hampered by: A ‘Mount Everest’ of debt; ‘Socialists’ demands for federal largesse; Awareness by other nations’ Leaders of mental acuity restraints ‘perhaps’ due to the U.S. leader’s age; Pentagon hegemonic aspirations as credible as holograms; Technology leadership squandered over past decades; and rampant illegal drug usage in the Pandemic.

Since we, in International Business, both hear and see of others, in many countries, views that ‘Monopolistic Command’ of the world is NOT the reality for America [a hegemonic nation standing on financial quicksand]. Instead, many other nations have ‘stepped up to the plate’ and are hitting ‘Home Runs’. For example, in space, China’s recent landing of its Mar’s exploratory vehicle, as well as its darkside of the Moon explorer are worthy of praise. India’s Mars atmospheric explorer is worthy of note.

In the military technology field, the Russians have apparently ideated, engineered, and are now producing hostile military aircraft detection systems that make ‘stealth’ aircraft, non-stealthy. The billions of dollars spent by the Americans are of short term benefit now as to this aspect of ‘stealth’. Additionally, Russian submarines are noted to be “Black Holes” as to their lack of detection by the U.S. and other nations.

In the areas of medicine, we know now that the U.S. Center For Disease Control and other associated government entities: Did not see Coronavirus over the horizon; Did NOT know when it arrived; their ”Experts” did not understand its aspects; the decisions by political leaders, for control were so inept that pandemic deaths were the result of poor analysis of CV19 capabilities; Shut-down of America cost billions of dollars; Steadfast rejection of anthropogenesis of CV19 appears to be diminishing by some Medical Professionals. It took Turkish citizens, presently residing in Germany to lead the way in creating a vaccine to help control or eliminate CV19. This was being done while the Russians were quickly creating their own vaccines. “Genius, is where one finds it.”

We think the Internet, which allows for immediacy in world communications for the masses, will ‘level the playing field’ and allow other nations to be creative and to disseminate their ideas and products quickly. This dispersal of creations can only help people to prosper everywhere. At the same time, it means ‘Singularity for World Control’ is a hologram that can quickly have its ‘Green Energy’ power source turned off by others. A historically hegemonic country, such a America, can no longer readily claim, and have the public believe ‘Weapons of Mass Destruction’ scenarios strewn out by a corrupt Mass Media, controlled by one political party.

As the American Mass Media, acted as a mere political party disinformation wing, in getting a man installed in the White House, its ‘ladder’ is shorter than the hole it has dug for itself. U.S. Citizens are becoming increasingly aware, as our foreign friends have already known: “Germalists” who work in subterfuge will learn “There are NO long term secrets.” The lies one put in print or over the airwaves, will be understood to be lies, nothing more. In engaging in such tripe, the “Germalists” are to be respected less than a Trollop with Venereal Disease, yet still selling services.

Political leaders shut down many businesses across America and elsewhere. After many months of indecisive thinking they came up with CV19 ‘solutions: “Stay two meters away from the people near you; wear a face mask so you do not ‘spew virions of CV19; have plexiglass dividers separating customers from workers in casinos, markets, et al; wash your hands thoroughly; this even after vaccines are created and injected in people”. WOW! This at costs to nations of multi-billions of dollars? We hope such leaders have access to high ladders for the deep holes they dug; especially when the true financial costs of the ‘shut downs’ are realized by the public.

Reality: “Integrity” is something One of Principles lives, not something that he or she drinks.

Manufacturing Reality: Mining For Production Metals Means Masses Must Minimize Hampering Restrictions Of “Quarrying”, If They Want Progress

Over the many decades we have watched ‘Political Fashionability’ overcome ‘Manufacturing Realities’ by those who do NOT UNDERSTAND what it takes to produce ‘Things’. This ignorance, which has placated some of the masses, by curtailing fabrication activities due to: Noise, Smell, Vibration, and will soon be adding “Electronic Radiation of Information Technology Equipment” to this roster. This will encompass ‘Cloud Storage Sites’ we think.

The past few years have ushered in a demand for ores that will make Electronics greater in scope than ever before. Additionally, the pursuit of Electric Vehicles will demand ore mining of Aluminum, Cobalt, Copper, Lithium, Manganese, and other metals in prodigious quantities. To mine these ores, miners need restriction mitigations in many cases. The basic fact of life is: “Mining is cutting in Gaia, and relieving here of mineralizations so they can be processed into items which help Mankind.” As such, Dust, Noise, Odors, Vibrations cannot be totally eliminated in the process. In many cases, reducing those actualities, mean projects are too expensive or otherwise impractical for miners’ profitablities. There is no ‘free lunch’ in any human activity. In Mining, which is the ‘Process Precedent’ to most fabrications, throughout the entire world, one must accommodate the reality; otherwise, there will not be production [like it or not]. This is the way it has been since Man left his cave thousands of years ago. If one wants a clean, clear, absolutely pristine environment, we, in International Business, suggest they go move into a large cavern with running water.

Most mining operations require ‘Outside Capital’ to commence, develop, and prosper. For a investor to risk his money in a project: Proof of valuable mineralization in property must exist or be anticipated; Physical access must be feasible; equipment and personnel must be attainable; and GOVERNMENTAL PERMITS must be attained [this is where the ‘Quicksand’ lies].

Quite often ‘Political Fashionablities’ pounce on and destroy the economic feasibility of mining projects. Since “‘Environmental’ Concerns” are almost always nebulously stated, without verifiable proof, jeopardy to projects are probable. What everyone should realize: “Miners live on Earth also. Miners are INTIMATELY involved in the physical processes involved. As such, they do not desire to hurt themselves physically, nor anyone else. Let them perform their tasks optimally, so ultimately men and women of this Earth can enjoy that which has been invented or that which may be invented.”

“Mining” is a very expensive activity. Only the “‘Financially Serious’ need to apply” to this ‘Many Billions of Dollars’ mileau. We suggest those who are not directly involved in projects, withhold their comments and diatribe until worthwhile projects are completed responsibly [and certainly with remediations]. Take the ‘Long View’ as the Chinese have done for millennia; it works. Do NOT misjudge ‘Chalcopyrite’ as being ‘Aurum’.

Reality: Without Mental and Physical Exertion, nothing is possible; who wants ‘Nothing’?

Plant Trees, Create Forests = Increase Rain, In Areas Of Drought

A simple examination of the contribution of trees to man’s existence demonstrates profound benefits. The “Tree/Forest/Rain” cycle for one, can alter desert environs into water availability areas for agricultural production. We, in International Business, can envisage the long-term benefits to investors who buy ‘cheap’ unproductive land and eventually gain fertile acreage [ profitable assets]. As an example of the transformation, of which we speak, China is a splendid example of the transformation of desert acreage manipulated into forested areas. The wise Chinese leaders, former President Hu and current President Xi, have emphasized such positive projects. This process can be copied over to other areas of the globe.

In Brazil, the moisture off the Atlantic ocean, moves into the existing forests and transpiration from the trees adds to the cloud formations and rain. Trees planted in dry areas to the south of the Amazon basis add to this water production cycle. The hydrologic cycle is maintained with forests.

The added benefit of tree planting are at least twofold: Trees convert Carbon Dioxide into Oxygen which helps man. Per the Arbor Day Foundation: “In one year a mature tree will absorb more than 48 pounds of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and release oxygen in exchange”. Secondly, trees provide shade which helps cool inhabited areas. This is very important in assisting the lesser use of electricity to cool residences thereabout. As we have written before, Israeli scientists have shown: “Palm Trees use up to 1,000 liters [265 gallons] of water a day, yet provide no shade.” We think precious water is far more important that ‘fashionable foliage’, even to the unthinking, ‘Progressive’ business owners and homeowners. Eventually, as climate change increases droughts in certain areas, Palm Trees must be removed and replaced with shade trees of less thirst; A ‘Green Action of proven value’.

In cities, a lesser, but still important assist provided by trees is: sound reduction offered by their trunks, branches, and leaves. Acoustic energy created by automobiles, noisy motorcycles, and trucks have their transmission flows diminished in contact with the aforementioned tree components. This transfer from kinetic to potential energy, although not profound, does aid residential areas in being quieter.

We think investors may want to consider acquisition of, or investment in, tree growing companies, which are located throughout the world. As people become more aware of the aforementioned benefits of trees, and their lands become barren, they will want to plant trees for the many benefits provided. For a long-term investment, trees planted makes a sound financial choice as it adds to rainfall production in drought areas. What is that worth to land investors?

In areas such as Russia’s Siberia, with its splendid forests, tree planting is not required. In ‘Oil Rich’ countries such as ‘Saudi Arabia’, tree planting could transform much of the country into a lower temperature area, so its citizens would enjoy comfort in the Summer; this King Salman might want to consider. Any added rainfall would certainly be welcomed by the flora of Saudi Arabia.

Drought reduction, through tree planting, is we think, a very inexpensive, ‘Green’, Oxygen-producing methodology. Some people say: “It is often over-looked since it is not ‘exotic’ [no ‘sizzle’ (no ‘bells and whistles’)]. This may be true. However, we who are ‘older’ realize: “Quiet efficiency outshines a noisy treadmill [which demands exertion but goes nowhere].”

Reality: The “Man Upstairs” produced so many trees, He just allows Men who appreciate his Wisdom, to plant some more.

“The Pot Calling The Kettle ‘Black'”: America Should Look At Its Own Indian History

Presently, American Main Stream Media [MSM], is excoriating other countries for the treatment of legal citizens and occupants therein. The fact that Washington, D.C. politicians ‘pour gasoline on the embers’ make we, in International Business, wonder: “Are these mere commercial tactics to gain some economic advantages, rather than ‘pursuing moral ‘high grounds’? Are they ‘conditions precedent’ for possible military excursions [Blow the bugle and rile the troops]?” All too often, especially where hegemonic interests lie, with some politicians, their pontifications against other nations are mere shams, to the knowing. Time and again, over the decades we have seen “Pots calling kettles ‘Black’ [PCKB]”. After a while, the tactic becomes tedious.

One example of PCKB, of near-time duration was America’s absolutely ‘contrived’ rationale against the sovereign peoples of Iraq by the U.S. President and his lackeys. “Weapons Of Mass Destruction” were in Iraq and would be used against the U.S., was the fallacy given to the public by MSM and the administration in Washington. Unfortunately, this grievous LIE, caused the deaths of as many as 1,200,000 Iraqis, 4,200+ American Soldiers, and thousands of injured. Could this horrible tragedy be deemed: “Genocide by America against Iraqis”? Where is the world clamor about such behavior, based on a lie?

Before ‘America’ was a mere grammatical construct, the Indians living in the area of what is now the ‘United States’, resided in their territory of 2,379,964,800 acres [963,137,583 hectares]. Upon the arrival of Europeans, the areas taken by force, guile, and or negotiation reduced in size to a tribal 130,000,000 acres [52,609,133 hectares]. In 1758, the first Indian Reservation was established in New Jersey. In 1933, a further reduction brought the area down to 49,000,000 acres [19,829,596 hectares]. Congress, finally seeing, ‘thievery’ which had been occurring against the Indians, started a re-acquisition program. Today, approximately 56,200,000 acres [[22,743,333 hectares] “belong” to the Indians.

“Soil Gainers”:The European ancestried U.S. ‘land-baron’ inheritors of today, might even be accused of being unprincipled ‘Land Sharks’ descendants, nothing more. Of those billionaires who are currently amassing great land holdings, we laugh. The old Miner’s adage applies: “The more land you own, the more it owns you. Even if you are eventually ‘planted’ therein, your precious ownership and ‘Deed of Purchase’, will merely be Sand in the Wind.”

A further, ‘blackening of the pot’ has been the estimated $156,000,000,000.00 in lost income and other monies by mismanagement of the U.S. Government over Indian financial accounts. While the Indians finally settled for a mere $4,500,000,000.00, for their unseemly losses over the many decades, even the initial trial Judge, the Honorable Royce Lambeth, could not tolerate the misdeeds and obfuscations by the U.S. Government. One should read his statements during the trial.

We sincerely hope the land buy-backs occurring, by the U.S. Government, and perhaps purchases accelerating in the near future, benefit these Indian victims and descendants of Indian victims of earlier Europeans avarice, belligerence, and lethality. The complicity of earlier U.S. Administrations to see and disregard the felonious theft is appalling. Now, we ask: “Who are those in the District of Columbia to denigrate other Nations, of their treatment of occupants in their territories, when America’s behavioral history, has, at times, been the lowest of the low?” Does their avarice overcome any shame? They criticize other great Nations? Even today, some Americans treatment of minorities is appalling.

If the International Court of Justice, with its 15 Justices, and other International legal bodies, had both the Jurisdiction along with the Will, we think, there are many American leaders and lesser politicians who would be looking out for their representations on INTERPOL WARRANTS. They all might be conjoined with some other cabal nations who decry others, and yet participate with ‘Uncle Sam’.

America, just 240+ years old, can learn from ancient civilizations. In age, there is Wisdom.

Reality: The ‘Devil’ and his Acolytes do not always wear capes. Many times, they are fashionable in fine tailored suits.

Mining Managements: Will They Ever Have Operational Paradigms Of : “Capitalism With A Conscience”?

Over many decades, on all of the continents, we have see time and again, in many mining operations, a repeating scenario; this being: “Promise the land owners everything; reduce it, with ‘operational costs’ (prior to payments); deliver very little to them; leave the owners with nothing for cleaning up the ‘malignant’ messes left behind.” There are very minor iterations to this general theme, be it for ‘below ground’ or ‘open pit’ operations regardless of the minerals involved. These “Capitalists” do NOT share the wealth (thus avoiding ‘Capitalism With A Conscience’).

A continued theme to these Mining Scenarios, regardless of continent or country, is that typically the Indigenous Peoples who own the lands, as cases may be, are NOT given respect as to their inputs on the projects. Instead, governmental bureaucrats speak ‘on their behalf’! We, in International Business, understand how that really works [to the chagrin of the landowners].

In Papua New Guinea, we hope the government will be able to realize gains for its citizens, as it re-negotiates the contractual elements. For past damages to the ecology of the area, how does one properly assess it? For future damage, how does one assure substantial site remediation funds are available? What about health benefits long term for employees who suffer any contamination?

We think that this offered framework by the Canadians and Chinese, is a ‘giant step’ forward towards all participants ‘winning in this card game’; Certainly 51% ownership to the Papua New Guinea Government helps. Since the Chinese are “Masters of the Long View” of business transactions [their not being mere ‘day-traders’], we think stability to this new contract will be evidenced by them. By and large, we applaud “C.E.O.” Mr. Mark Bristow, for his ‘Paradigm Shift’ as to what Contracts can become: “Winning Hands For All Players In The Biggest Gambles Of All: Mining”. As for ‘Gold (Aurum) itself, we say: “Go long as to the ‘play’, you will smile each day.”

Reality: A ‘Good Deal’ for all ‘anxious’ parties requires: a New Deck of Cards; a ‘Clean Shuffle’; Card distribution by One with Integrity; and, Satisfaction in each party’s play.
