Chinese Discovery of America in About 2000 B.C. Gets More D.N.A. Support

News Analysis: Chinese Discovery of America in about 2000 B.C. gets more D.N.A. support per Anthropologists studying the matter since the Ancient Writings of both the discovery as well as the Exploration of some of America, by Chinese Maritimers, are reinforced by D.N.A. Sampling.

“The Chinese got to America around 2000 BC, and that they are the ancestors of the Native Americans. The D.N.A. types of the Native Americans are all found in Han Chinese….”

Chinese who decided to remain in America, studied the Flora and Fauna of the area as some hiked over a thousand miles in their explorations. Their descriptions of the terrain allegedly match current Topographies in the area.

Such exploration of America by the Chinese, although VERY SELDOM discussed, is analogous to the Ancient Greeks and their Exploration of Central Africa. “Technology Transfer” of the earliest type occurred from the Africans to the Greeks and vice versa. Astronomic data which the Greeks could not attain due to their more Northerly Latitude was given to them by the Africans. Also, Pharmacologic Information on Indigenous African Plants was provided (as were the harvested plants). The Knowledge of the Greeks, particularly in Science was passed to the African Tribes in exchange. Those who have studied Ancient Africa are aware of these transactions.

A Dichotomy exists between the colossal amount of information about Ancient Egypt and the Dearth of information about Central Africa, its ‘Cousin’ to its South. Yet, these relationships which took place in Ancient Africa,  are  ‘Hidden in the Depths’ by certain “Other Parties” for reasons one can only speculate.

The China/America Relationship is much like the Greek/Central Africa Interface: Both have been largely ignored by Vested Interests. Reality.

Russian Rouble is Acceptable in Chinese City

News Analysis: Russian Rouble is Acceptable in Chinese City as both Countries expand transactions freely.  On the Sino-Russian border in Northeast China, Suifenhe, commences consumer currency interactions for Russian Shoppers.

This policy of using both Countries’ Currencies is very Wise. As these Nations rely more on their Own Currencies for Trade, the Dollar and the Euro decline in importance. For these Countries and possibly for other Nations, if they participate, More Currency Choices can be advantageous.

Since the American Currency is so Burdened with Multi-Trillion Dollar Debt underlying it (and little else), Wise Individuals will use other Units of Trade. The “Economic Black Hole” Washington, D.C., Leaders have created, the past few years,  allow for “No Escaping Financial Light”.

The Enormous Debt of America CANNOT be Repaid in a U.S. Adult-Taxpayer’s Lifetime. Reality.

Missouri, USA, German Ancestored White Wines are Rejuvenating

News Analysis: Missouri, USA, German Ancestored White Wines are rejuvenating due to Favorable Weather this year. A history of Germans in Missouri having, for over a Century, grown White Varietal Grapes bodes well for current production.

 About 400 Vineyards exist which serve the 125 Operating Wineries in the State. Since the Typical very wet weather of Missouri exists, White Wines are in greater favor for their Quality than “Reds”. The Sale of Missouri Wines predominately takes place Domestically. As such, Entrepreneurs may want to consider “Foreign Sales” of the Missouri Wines since  a World Shortage of Product exists. Consultations with an Enologist and Viticulturist can provide Technical Judgements of the Missouri Wines Industry and its anticipated Quality of Production.

“Due Diligence” is an Insurance Policy for Wise Investors. Reality.

Caspian Sea Ship Transportation Flourishes

News Analysis: Caspian Sea Ship Transportation Flourishes in this Inland Body of water; the World’s Largest. Its size of 370,000+ km2 (143,000+ mi2) makes it ideal for Freight Transportation by Ship. Its dimensions are impressive: A length of 1,030+ km (640 mi) with a width of 435+km ( 270 mi). As such, with a dearth of suitable ‘High Speed’ Roadways going around the Sea, the shortest route is Point-to-Point across it. Last year, 10 million tons of Freight traversed the Sea.

Due to the increase in Petroleum Exploration in the area, the Caspian Sea should have ever-increasing traffic. This additional commerce bodes well for Ship Construction and Shipping Line Profits in coming years.

Entrepreneurs may want to explore the possibility of investing in the Caspian Sea Region for Freight and/or “Fast Passenger” Transportation. Due to the fact that the Nations abutting the Caspian Sea want it developed, Investors should be welcomed.

Two Bombardier of Canada Twin-Engine Canadair CRJ-200 Jets Make Emergency Landings in 24 Hours in the Same City!

News Analysis: Two Bombardier Of Canada Twin-Engine Canadair CRJ-200 Jets Make Emergency Landings In 24 Hours In Same City is Very Unusual! The fact that they are from the same Manufacturer and are of the same Model adds to the Events’ Exclusivity. The Passengers’ and Crews’ Anxiety of  landing in the same city in Yekaterinburg, Russia within 24 hours is different.

In the First Emergency Landing, Left Engine Failure caused the happening. Since only one other Engine is available, flying (Solo Power) in  Winter Weather is not advised. Perhaps the Propulsion System was affected by the Mildly  Cold of approximately -3C (26.6F)?

The Second Emergency Landing of  this CRJ-200 had its Navigation System Fail. The Wise Pilot decided to Immediately Abort the flight and land.  Again, Moderate Cold Weather might be found to cause this Emergency Landing. A different aircraft was used to take passengers to their destination.

Two such Immediate “Canadair” CRJ-200 incidents occurring, albeit for different Aircraft Systems, can give impetus to Russian Citizenry for President Vladimir Putin’s Wise Idea. He suggests: “Russians building Russian Aircraft with Russian-built Components that can handle ‘Russian Weather'”.

Strong Metallic (Titanium, Stainless Steel, and Alloyed Aluminum) Aircraft, should be used in conjunction with Efficient Airplane Design and Construction. Any Unusual Aircraft Technologies, not of Russian Creation,  can be Purchased from the Manufacturers. Especially those of other countries who respect Russian Aviation and want to assist its growth Internationally.

This combination will make Russian Commercial Aircraft Competitive to any other Country’s Products for airlines.

Russians need to follow the Inspirations from their Aviation Manufacturing Pioneers such as: Ilyushin, Mikoyan, Sukhoi, Tupolev, and Yakolev. They have a great history and will certainly have a Prosperous Aircraft Future.

Reality.

Super-Power Control of Other Nations Not Working in a Big “Poker Game”? Start a Small One.

News Analysis: Super-Power Control Of Other Nations Not Working In A Big “Poker Game”? Start a Small One for Influencing Countries.  The World Trade Organization’s Bali, Indonesia, Conference, some say, did not deliver the effects desired by some participants. Since a bridge exists between Poor Nations vis-à-vis Richer Countries, different objectives exist. By establishing Smaller “Entente Cordiale Echange Commercial” Relationships, Greater Scrutiny by other Nations may be averted; but desired results attained.

The Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) is one such “Smaller Poker Game”. It is stealthily being formulated by Pacific Ocean Abutting  Nations (Omitting China and Russia). It allows a Super-Power to apply pressure on participating Nations without pertinent WORLD-WIDE Scrutiny by Non-Member Countries; (‘No Poker “Ante”; No Play’).

The International Objectives of Countries vary by their Structure.  In some, Private Corporations determine Global Desires; in others, State-Run Companies determine ‘End Goals”. The common thread all appear to have is:  Power Over Others; Resulting In Material Wealth Gained By The Successful Aggressor.

Countries may jointly conduct a “Poker Game”; however, the Country therein that “Controls” the ‘Playing Cards’ wins the “Pot”.  Reality.

Forensic Accountants (FA’s), with Experience, are Priceless

News Analysis: Forensic Accountants (FA’s), with Experience, are Priceless when looking for Fraudulent Accounting Irregularities. Those Individuals who “Cook The Books” are loathe to find “FA’s” reviewing their previous Numerical Machinations. The adage: “Figures do not Lie, But Liars Figure” apply to many. Embezzlers, “Ponzi Scheme” Operators, as well as a myriad of other ‘Slight of Hand’ Persons  engage in  ‘Bogus’ Accounting Entries in Financial Records.

As an example, Bernie Madoff, was the former Chairman of National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations (NASDAQ). He was thought by “FA” Mr. Harry M. Markopolos to be engaged in a “Scam” against Investors. Mr. Markopolos reported his findings to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), to NO AVAIL. In fact, it was reported that some even investigated Mr. Markopolos (the Messenger)! Both the SEC’s Inexperienced Accountants and Attorneys refused to believe that the former Chairman of NASDAQ “was a Crook”.  A “FA” NEVER makes such a NAIVE CONCLUSION that Someone is Legitimate merely because  of his or her former Occupation! 

Some people, in retrospect, wonder if Monies were given to any SEC Attorneys to “Quash” or Delay any Investigations of Madoff? They opine: “If the Chairman of NASDAQ offers bribes, why would mere SEC Attorneys not have accepted? They do not earn much money and Bernie could pay. Look how many years he operated freely.”

Approximately Sixteen Years AFTER some suspicions were aroused about Bernie Madoff and his “Gang of Crooks” did the U.S. Government close down his Operations. PATHETIC! If the ‘SEC’ had PROMPTLY listened to Mr. Markopolos and sent EXPERIENCED “FA’s” to examine Bernie’s Books, the Ponzi Scheme would have been recognized and ended. Since it did not, Investors from All Over The World lost Billions of Dollars. Unfortunately, much money is still missing.

There are those who think that a Presidential Pardon for Bernie Madoff would allow him to enjoy his ill-gotten gains (as it occurred years earlier for Felon Marc Rich by being Pardoned by then-U.S. President William Jefferson Clinton; the last week of his term).

Corporations and Nations can do themselves a favor by recruiting and training “FA’s” to look at their  Accounting Records and see where Embezzlement  or other thefts may be occurring or may have occurred by their “Honest” Employees. Trust, But Verify.

Real Estate: One Offering Might Pale in Comparison to Another (But Not in Price)

Real Estate: One Offering Might Pale In Comparison To Another as in a Las Vegas, Nevada, U.S.A., $70+/- Million Offering vis-à-vis a $70+/- Million Offering In New Zealand. Reportedly for sale, in Las Vegas, is World Famous Entertainer Wayne Newton’s FORMER Arabian Horse Breeding Operation; it is on approximately 17 Hectares (42 Acres). The New Zealand Offering of a Sheep and Steer Breeding Operation is on about 13,800 Hectares (34,086 Acres). This reportedly well-maintained North Island Property stocked “60,000 sheep, 3,500 beef cattle, and 2,300 dairy support cattle” recently.

One might ask: “Is the Las Vegas Property priced Inordinately High or is the New Zealand Property priced far Too Low?”

Since much of Real Estate is based on the “Greater Sucker Principle”; some Property Sellers (or the Brokers)  look for Buyers to pay higher prices than the Owners paid; regardless of “Actual Values”.

The International Real Estate Federation (FIABCI) can provide its Experience in Global Real Estate Pricing Parity regarding “High End” Properties.

“Caveat Emptor” is surely applicable to the possible purchase of  multimillion dollar priced Real Estate located anywhere. Trust, But Verify. Reality.

Indian Silver Imports Soar

News Analysis: Indian Silver Imports Soar, due partially to its affordable price for many Indians and its Beauty. Silver Jewelry has delighted Humanity for Centuries. A possible Record Importation of  up to 5,400 tons is viewed as likely this year. Some say that $20.00 per Ounce Silver (Argentum ‘AG’) will be trading at $26.00 per Ounce next year.

As World Economies ‘sputter along’, one can foresee an increase in ‘AG’ demand due to its affordability by the Masses. The more people there are of the persuasion that the “Economic Slowness Will Last”, the increase in Silver Sales, due to its affordability, will occur.
“If one cannot afford Champagne, then Beer will do.” Reality.

Amity Beats Enmity in Money Matters

News Analysis: Amity Beats Enmity in Money Matters Particularly on Cyprus. The Draconian Measures taken against Bank Depositors (Domestic and Foreign), at the Behest of the European Union, are having an effect of bringing Sensible Financial Actions by a few of their Victims. Some of those Greek Cypriots, living in the South, are going to the Northern part of the Island to engage Cypriot Turkish Banks; a very reasonable idea. They are finally forgetting the Rhetoric of Politicians Controlled by ‘Financial Handlers’ and instead, are thinking for themselves; “Political Rhetoric Be Damned”. Since the Turkish Banks, in their collective Wisdom, offer an International Aspect that the South does not, they are preferred as a result.

It is interesting to note that Greece, as well as its ‘Co-Signer ‘ for its Debt, Cyprus, have apparently not Arrested, Convicted, and Imprisoned ONE  Military or Political Leader. Their Personal Greed over the past several DECADES caused this infamous  Economic Debacle. Instead, their Ill-Gotten Gains are in Foreign Bank Accounts [which are allegedly known to Greek Officials].

Why the Citizens of Cyprus and Greece do not use their Legal Remedies to get their monies back from the Military and Political Criminals is perplexing. That the Military and  Politicians do not say anything about their Predecessors is obvious. Good Forensic Accounting is needed [if the Financial Records have not already been destroyed]. 

Of their Bankers, Military, and Political Leaders, both Greeks and Cypriots need to learn: “Trust, But Verify”. If in Doubt of their Veracity, they can then tell any of these “Men of Integrity”: “Oxi!”

Reality.
