Strong Nations’ Leaders Can Identify “Duplicitous Intermeddlers” For What They Are; To Weak leaders, The Same Persons Are “Munificent Benefactors”

Over the many years we have been observing business and political machinations dressed up as ‘balms’ and ‘salves’ to heal wounds [economic and/or social]; a “Bromelain” for the injuries. The simplistic offerings to ‘benefit all’ always require, sooner or later, leaders to give up their decision-making to others. Much as ‘Hedge-Funds’ buy into corporations, using other people’s money, install their members on the Board of Directors, have corporate officers do their bidding, pull as much money out [through asset, or debenture sales], then dump the company; similarities apply to Nations.

Countries with weak leaders, will join ‘Blocs’ to allegedly: “Improve the lives of their citizens”. In the process, they will cede some ‘Financial Authority’ to the ‘Blocs’ Leaders [BL’s]. In doing so, the nefarious motivations of the BL’s can be realized. The monetary control, is the bludgeon used against any member(s) who does [do] not accede to the economic, political, or social desires of those BL’s. And, as we have written before, the BL’s who: “Are Puppet Masters [PM’s] directed by extraneous Puppet Masters’ Masters [PMM’s]”. One can be certain, we think, that a “Globalist” [not “Internationalist”] Agenda, for ‘Multi-Bloc Control’, by the few, are the intentions of the PMM’s. “Countries’ Sovereignties Be Damned; We Will Rule the World” is the ultimate desire. Over the many years we have seen when the apparent PMM, became public, he was really a PM, and we looked for, and found, his Master; usually in another country and/or continent.

Very similar today, as aforementioned, are the active machinations of some “Silicon Valley” [SV’s] (San Jose, California) Internet Technology Organizations. Two, in particular, were funded by an antithetical Nation to America; This, while the U.S. Government authorities apparently were ‘asleep’ or were ‘renumerated’ (one might assume). In any event, both SV’s today have embarked aggressively on “World Internet Communication Control”; this is a reality. As some U.S. politicians are starting to recognize the dilemma of the SV’s ‘Control Scale’ to date, we ask: “Where have all of you, and your un-elected bureaucratic ‘geniuses’ been over the past many years; this, while, a foreign power ‘Cancer’ grew in front of your faces? Your Intelligence Agencies did not discover these cabals? If we, as International Businessmen, were aware of the deceit occurring in commerce, where were all of you? Typical ‘Bureaucratic Inefficiency’ or complicity, perhaps? For the foreign power involved, in these two World-Level Programs, we ask: “Do you not realize: There are NO long-term secrets?”. “What happens to your ‘Internet Communication Constructions’ when your “Front-Men, Multi-Billionaire ‘Brains’” get interrogated by American authorities?”; they are weak and will talk, one can assume. Then, the U.S. Government rightly, takes over all of the assets. So be it.

Again, when taking an overview of the ‘largesse’ and ‘best wishes for good governance’ of businesses or nations, as expressed by “Multi-Millionaires” and “Multi-Billionaires”, ask: “Did they make their monies through their benevolence to others? Are they really seeking to benefit your people, or to control them as ‘Sheep’?

Reality: While the “Sizzle’ of a ‘Sell’” might sound enticing, wait a ’bit’, one’s nostrils may detect an Odor.

INFORMATION Is Of Greater Value To Both Countries And Individuals, Than Money; It IS The Money

For many decades, we in International Business, have been amused at the naivety of both Main Stream Media “Journalists”, as well as much of the ‘Public-at-Large’. Both groups having been ‘mesmerized’ by the “Millionaires”, “Billionaires”, even ‘Kadillionaires’ of which are constantly in the news. It appears to be the case, for some people, that the “Wealth” [however acquired (Deceit, Guile, Inheritance, ‘Luck’] bestows [per the ‘Marketeers and Publicists’] the possessor, immediately, of: Great Intelligence, Judiciousness, Omnipotence, and Omniscience).

The reality is quite different. For example, as we have stated previously regarding the CV 19 Pandemic “None of the: Government ‘Experts’; Investment ‘Experts’; Intelligence ‘Experts’; Medical ‘Experts’; nor, Transportation ‘Experts’ saw the CV 19 Influenza ‘over the horizon’. NONE KNEW that it had arrived; nor did they know how to ‘handle it’ as a ‘mere Influenza [RNA, Single Strand iteration (of questionable origins)].

To ponder the scale of the “Lack of INFORMATION” costs, by the aforementioned ‘Experts’ in each discipline, along with their annual salaries and expenditures, and financial losses to their organizations, is equivalent to “Mount Everest” monies, with “Death Valley” effectivity.

The current world-wide economic losses, to businesses and countries, in the trillions of dollars, brought about by obviously effete ‘leaders’ in the various disciplines, evidences their lacks of INFORMATION; all, already possessed monies. They never understood: “The Pendulum Swings Both Ways”. When things are going so well: “They will never stop”; they do.

It is our opinions that Information is MUCH MORE valuable than monies for: It can SAVE LIVES; Keep ‘happenings’ in proper perspective; Minimize physical losses; and Provide longevity in a ‘Entropic World’.

As for Governments: Leaders need to understand that Nations have ‘Associations’ not ‘Personal Friendships’ (there are too many external and internal dynamics preventing ‘long-term’ friendships, as with people). Nations MUST HAVE effective Intelligence Resources (Human Intelligence) [HUMINT], is what we suggest. Electronic Intelligence [ELINT] is by and large too costly, and ineffective, to produce proper results. As an example, America’s shift from Humint ‘Operatives’ to Elint, at a cost of hundreds of billions of dollars, have not put terrorists in Federal Prisons. This waste of taxpayers monies, while really enriching Military Contracting Companies, has not even shown the scantest of ‘Terrorists’ being caught, arrested, and successfully prosecuted in Federal Courts FROM THE ELINT DATA! It has made many Electronic Manufacturing Companies executives very happy though.

We think: Being analytical; Using one’s ‘Enkefalos’; Thinking ‘long-term’; Looking ‘beyond the horizon’; Staying steadfast with a ‘sword of consistency’, is best for Countries’ Leaders, Intelligence Agencies, Business Executives, and ‘the Man on the street’. What one hears, what one reads, what one sees, should be viewed for reasonableness as well as righteousness. If you seek information, find sources that evidence timely data flow, as well as that elusive quality: Wisdom.

Reality: Sometimes, That which “COULD NEVER HAPPEN“, Does.

The 21st Century’s Version Of Idolizing, And Never Besmirching, ‘Sacred Statues’, Is Alive And Well Today.

October, 2020: The present iteration of “International Journalists” {IJ’s} who have become “Germalists”, protect the “Buy-Thems” (BT’s) [a nefarious group, who engage in business in many countries of the world]; This, by IJ’s burying BT’s ‘Dirty Laundry’ into a swamp of ‘Quick Sand’. To wit: “See, the vile of which you mention, Computer Data, Photographs, et al, are nowhere to be found. You must be mistaken; and it is not newsworthy anyway.”

We, as International Businessmen, have maintained for many years: “There are no long-term secrets.” For example, many years ago, during the installation of Mega-temp Aircraft Insulation into a ‘Bird’ [owned by a member of one of the most prestigious families in the world] there was a discussion. A ‘local politician’ in the area was being mentioned by the Aircraft Powerplant mechanics. They referred to him as “’Coker Joe’, the man who has never turned down ‘a free line’ to snort”. We, decades later, while watching current international politicians, have hypothesized who this gentleman is, based on both his choice of ‘intoxication to enjoy’ and  the well-reported ‘drug inducements’ of his family members.

We can well understand how Organized Crime would love to have “Coker Joe” lead his country, if he would win an election to be held in the country. The earnest ‘businessmen’ of the Illicit Drug Community’{IDC} would have his particular “Junk” demanding country’s population, lined up to buy all they could produce. International chemical makers of precursor chemicals would need to buy even more equipment, and perhaps facilities for manufacture. Poppy growers in Afghanistan, and elsewhere, would celebrate. Politicians and Law Enforcement Officials [LEO’s], in both “Coker Joe’s” country, who have been getting bribed for many decades, by the IDC, as well as politicians and LEO’s elsewhere, would rejoice.

The “Germalists” of the world, have been aware for decades: The ‘illicit drug consumption’ of “Coker Joe”; The bribes he has taken while as an effete politician [A guy has to make money somehow (?)]; Pedophilic tendencies; And, his “Go-to-War” penchant, they shielded both he and his family for years. We must ask: “Which Corporations, Foreign Intelligence Agencies, International Special-Interest Cabals, and/or Organized Crime Groups pay you all, to cover for this family?” We certainly understand that ‘Non-Elected Bureaucrats’ in “Coker Joe’s” country want him to lead it. He would allow their corruption to continue. The Military-Industrial-Complex there, would want him, for monies to be made by it; the military would want wars, so there would be promotions available [“They do not give out many ‘Star’ ranks in peacetime”]. “War is good for business” [The BT’s, understand this principle].

It is our thought that a “Free Press”, while being free from Governments’ constricture, also must be ‘free’ of ‘private financial influence’: No ‘gifts’ of: money, narcotics, sex, or anything else. A “Free Press” is a ‘joke’ if it is contaminated with ‘Germalists’ [who have become ‘Presstitutes’]; they, seeking their gifts from their ‘handlers’ for the oral or written lies disseminated. It is our analyses that country-to-country, the ‘Feared Governments Dictates’, writers love to ‘put to the pen with complaints’, are in many cases mere holograms. Much more common are Non-Governmental Organizations’[NGO’s] influences by their ‘Pimps’ to the Germalists’. Then, when this occurs,  government Leaders, must lead; they should show their citizens ‘Truths’, so they are not influenced by the NGO’s, who are ‘outsiders with vested interests’.

Reality: One can only bury so much garbage into a hole, until it fills up. Its stench will ultimately be broadcast, by the winds, far and wide.

Tuesday, 3 November, 2020, American Election: As International Businessmen, We Present Our Analyses, For Those Prudent: Where The Future Winners Will Be, And Advise Where, And When, Others Should Discard ‘Losing Cards In Their Hands’.

The coming, election in America, will offer some Industries,  Investors, and even Countries, Improved Benefits and Profits, thereafter.  Current Investors and some other Countries may find: “The Future May Not Bode Well”; As to those Industries and locations where monies are presently committed, adjustments will be needed.

For our Subscribers, gain from our analyses of businesses, countries, and industries that will be moving ahead in 2021; this due to results of the coming election. We foresee the ‘shackles’ of many decades of ‘Special Interest Groups’ conniving [lead by the Puppet Masters’ Masters] being removed. That constant economic burden to America, being made effete, will provide opportunities for growth, seldom seen. As to other industries, that have historically prospered due to the ‘graft’, one may want to ‘Short their stocks’.

Reality: Beyond the horizon, many changes await, for America. A word to the Wise is sufficient.

When A Country Needs Leadership For Its Citizens, Against CV 19 Mental Malaise, Due To Isolations, Where Is Unshakable Second Lieutenant Hiroo Onoda When It Requires Him?

The current Coronavirus (CV10) Influenza, has caused many government leaders in many countries to choose to engage in draconian measures of isolating their citizenry, in their abodes. This is to allegedly prevent them from coming into contact with any CV19 particles [each measured at approximately 0.06 microns to 0.14 microns in size] that might be floating in the air or on any surfaces that might be touched. Since the virus particles attach themselves to aerosols or water droplets which are contained in breathing, coughing, or talking, transmissions are very likely to occur among people.

In Japan, particularly, as well as in many other countries, we think this “Bogeyman” CV19, has principally through Mainstream Media, been made into a ‘omnipresent monster that cannot be destroyed‘; rather it being, what it is: a “RNA, Single-Strand Influenza Virus iteration [nothing more].

It appears, that perhaps, young Japanese in particular, have either never heard of the steadfast Second Lieutenant Hiroo Onoda, who in his actions, fought World War II for 29 years, on a Pacific Island [even long after the War concluded] This gentleman did not give up; did not surrender; did not ‘fall apart’. He was, we think, as International Businessmen, evidentiary of what Japan was. We did respect him for his tenacity when he was found and living, and today, all of us can respect his loyalty to his country. Such behavior is not seen today, in most countries.

If Hiroo Onoda, was alive today, he would most likely face this CV 19 Influenza and laugh at it. He would realize that one needs to gain immunity from it, not by ‘hiding in a cave’ but by: living one’s life outside in the real world, having proper nutrition, wearing masks when needed, giving others physical space, washing one’s hands, and engaging in proper hygiene; not ‘Rocket Science’.

If, and when, vaccines, which can protect for several years against viral iterations of CV19 are created, one may decide, for his or herself, to use them. That is a personal choice. Until that time arrives, we suggest you find those intakes [Herbs, Minerals, and Vitamins] which can strengthen your immune system and thwart the CV 19 invader’s attack, and get on with your life. We, in International Business, certainly do.

Getting depressed and feeling sorry for oneself is the road to ruin. Going so far as to commit suicide guarantees the ‘doer’, of the terminated result, with no chance of improvement of circumstances. Following the behavior of Hiroo Onoda, allows for the probability that ‘things will get better’; they will.

Reality: Nothing is constant but Change. If you are down today, you may be up tomorrow. That is just the way it works.

Strong Italians Are Wearing Face Masks Ordered By Weak Logic Of Political leaders

Unfortunately, as we engage in International Business around the world, we see once again, Draconian measures being implemented on citizens, from poorly advised opinions based on illogic. In this case, the influenza, Coronavirus (CV19), is supposed to be curtailed by mask wearers throughout Italy. This apparently, even without extensive virological testing and certification of the mask construction, material used, proper location on the face; and, without mandating eye protection of the lower eyelids (CV 19 entry points). The mere fact that placed side-by-side, CV19 elements would fit approximately 245,000 particles per inch [25.4 mm] (lower-eyelid entry may occur)!

The efficacy of the masks, were for intensive care use by health providers in immediate vicinity of ill patients. In Italy, the politicians have ‘morphed’ this usage into a ‘endemic’ of use everywhere, within the territorial boundaries of Italy. If one is in a rural area many kilometers from anyone, a mask is required! How inane does it get?

The act of Rome’s politicians to burden artistic, creative, intelligent and hard-working Italians to the wearing of masks, wherever they are, is in our opinion, of effete value at best. The CV 19 particles are not EQUALLY omnipresent in 301,340 square kilometers [116,650 square miles] of the country; particulate intensities will vary through the vast region. Additionally, wind currents, et al, will help mitigate CV 19 volumes.

It is our opinion that it is evidentiary of possible overreaction to Mainstream Media pressure to ‘Show Strength to the Citizenry’; this, while effectively burdening them with mediocrity in their ‘Probability Analysis and Solutions’. Who benefits from such measures being implemented? We think, not the hoi polloi.

The greatness of the Italian people needs to be reflected in “Great Leadership”; not ‘littership’ of ill-advised edicts [Caesar died long ago].

Reality: Even in pandemics, there will always be , and all-ways be, those individuals, while professing their piety, seek to benefit themselves to the detriment of everyone else. Wise Men and Women, in such events, are cautious of following the “Pied Pipers” to the cliffs.

The Virus Of “Arrogance” Can Be As Deadly As The ‘Natural Diseases’ Created By Mother Nature

As we look at the various decisions made by various Business, Intelligence, Government, and Political leaders, we cannot but recognize the dire consequences which have occurred; this by their arrogance of the inviolability of their ideations. There are a number of examples available; these which caused loss of life to innocent people.

One Business, a Airframe manufacture, its arrogant executives ‘bought off’ on the idea: Pilots of various airlines could and would learn how to fly a ‘re-vamped’ model of a aircraft; this, not by using expensive “Flight Simulators” but by using “Apple I-Phones” with a pertinent ‘App’! While we both applaud, and we all use the excellent “Apple” products, we think it was absolutely ludicrous to go ‘down this runway’ for Pilot Education and Training. The consequences of the “Let us gain even more profit by NOT purchasing Flight Simulators, but use ‘Apple I-Pads'” were the deaths of innocent crew members and passengers on two aircraft. We find it most interesting that, to date, NO government pronouncements of “Criminal Culpability” and prosecution on these inept ‘Executives’ have been made as to these travesties. Instead, the head of the company merely stated his angst over these deaths.

A far greater cause of both massive deaths, as well as a Nation’s destruction physically, was the opinion by the head of a Intelligence Agency; this, that Iraq’s President Saddam Hussein, possessed “Weapons of Mass Destruction”. The Director of the Agency reportedly stated: “It was a ‘Slam Dunk’ that Saddam had such weaponry”! As a result, Governments‘ leaders arrogantly decided to devastate not just Saddam Hussein, and his sons Ouday and Qusay, but also the country of Iraq! The fact that Saddam’s Mistress, who was a intelligence source to the Intelligence Agency at the time, had allegedly told it: ‘Saddam was fearful of the unreliability of such weapons and distrusted them’! We also, understand that for certain individuals, who were and are currently part of the “Governatorship Cabal”: ‘Strong-man’ Saddam was a impeding force, that was to be removed; along with other area strongmen. However, we are of the opinion that hegemonic desires to destroy a country, its people, and culture, to: “Get Rid Of Three People”, is a Crime Against Humanity.

Political leaders have negligently caused the deaths of people as to the current CV 19 pandemic. We think they have done this with their arrogance of thinking how they ‘know’ how to eliminate the virus from infection of their citizens. Many acted through shut-downs of businesses and restrictions on mobility in cities. The economically ruined business owners and investors have allegedly had heart attacks, strokes, et al, resulting in their eventual deaths, and some have committed suicide. Citizens, such as many in New York City, have ‘self-destructed’ due to confinements mandated by Government authorities. Unfortunately, the citizens did NOT gain “CV19” immunity through their isolation.

The ‘Human Frailty’ of arrogance needs to be curtailed. Leaders need to know their positions in their careers, do not bestow on them omnipotence and omniscience; in fact, unless they are Founders of their organizations, they are immediately replaceable. Most have merely risen to the top by acceding to the wishes of their superiors. They are NOT innovators; they are merely ‘cogs in a wheel’. We, as International Businessmen, see them time and again.

Reality: Those who can look into a mirror and see a ‘Halo of Wisdom’ above their heads, should inspect above the mirror for defective lighting.

A Rational Leader Remains So, Even After Leaving Office

It is refreshing to continue to listen to a Leader such as Papua New Guinea’s former Prime Minister Sir Julius Chan. Sir Julius, has been looking for methodologies that will improve his country’s present financial condition; this, which was brought on by the infamous Corona Virus [CV-19].

The former Prime Minister continues, we think, to properly assess a marketable commodity produced in his country: Gold [Au]. As other mineralizations plunge in value in the world market, we, as International Businessmen, are of the opinion Au will rise; this, in continual opposition to many other commodities mined.

As the adage goes: “There is no replacement for Experience.” Sir Julius exhibits continued profound Wisdom, in a world of which we continually see, of inept, ill-reasoned ‘business’ decisions by various countries’ ‘leaders’; they are not “Leaders”, as was (and is) Sir Julius.

CV-19 Decisions: Many of these “marginal-merit ‘miasms'” of ‘leaders’, are ruining their countries’ economies; these, worse than most natural disasters or probable warfare would. We see recoveries, for many countries, not in a time-frame of months, but years.

Reality: As fine wine improves its quality with age, so does consistently: a few remarkable men and women, who we deem as “Leaders”.

World Shipping Industry: For Captains And Crews There Are No “Safe Harbors” For Free And Ready Transits Home

The current Covid 19 [CV19] pandemic has spawned a ‘Social Pandemic’, we, who, for many decades, closely follow ‘Merchant Shipping’, have never seen before. It is a situation of government leaders deciding not to allow crew transits from ships to shore for egress to other nations; for CV 19 contamination reasons. Evidencing much ineptness of logical thought, these government leaders disregard the facts of crews being isolated during their voyages and are NOT carrying CV 19 with them. These ‘situations’ offer: “The crews are not contaminated; people on shore may well be. Ergo, the crews face the risk of contracting CV 19 [not the other way around].”

Furthering the ‘Contamination Concept’ we wonder how many “Ship Chandlers” outfits have been closely tested and or quarantined; this, for their interfaces with both ships’ crew-members and supplies coming in-bound off the ships, goods for later re-sale to other ships, to their organizations? We have heard of none. Perhaps because they are ‘Locals’, governments’ Ports Authorities have deemed them “In-contaminable’?

Going ‘up the ladder towards the bridge’ there are many “middle-men” who are responsible for ships’ crew’s employment. It appears to us they have done next to nothing, on a macro-level, to put pressure to bear on their governments to de-escalate the ‘Slave-Labor (Voluntary, turned to Involuntary Servitude) being ‘stuck aboard ship’ for months.

Upon the bridge, ship-owners, bankers, investors, et al have acted with ‘Effete Dynamism‘ in solving this crisis to crews. As the adage states: “What goes around, will come around.” A dearth of enthusiastic crew members makes for a greater potential of: Cargo mis-handlings; Crew Injuries; Fires; and Sailing Mishaps.

It is our opinion that it is well likely that Maritime Insurance costs will rise, as maladies start occurring at a greater rate in the industry. As many crew members decide to change careers or retire earlier, “newbies” who enter the business will make a greater incidence of errors; leading to many of the aforementioned problems. There is no substitute for experience. As International Businessmen, we would think that at the present moment, many Insurers in Hamilton, London, New York City and others, would be taking a serious look at potential risk exposures brought about mainly through ineptness of decisions and dearth of training.

The other adjoining group that should be closely reviewed are the ‘Ship Registrations’. We have not seen a great deal of progress by any of them to conjoin with each other and quickly solve this ‘Humanitarian Issue’ for ship crews. “Why Not”, we ask. Is it that managements of such registries ‘do not have a clue’ to solving problems? They do have a responsibility to regulate those vessels under their purview.

Due to “Supply Chain” conundrums, we find it amazing that the world Main Stream Media, has largely ignored this vital industry’s current dilemma. If goods cannot be transferred from the manufacturer to the wholesaler; then, goods from the wholesale to the retailer to the customers, are a mere hologram. Who outside of “Bloomberg” clearly presents this dilemma to the public? We, as analysts of all types of shipping everywhere, are familiar; the “Men and Women of the world” are not. They will be irate when they cannot locate that which has NOT been shipped to their favorite stores. Is not this subject newsworthy?

Reality: The severity of a Pandemic is exacerbated by multiple very poor decisions, by many, in various ‘arenas’, that have portrayed themselves as omniscient; their decisions are substantively ‘Chalcopyrite’ [Fool’s Gold].

Countries Getting Through The Covid Crisis Are Quantified

An excellent report, thorough in its scope, has been created by ‘Horizon Insight and Strategy’; it is called “Recover, (Re)build: Exploring Country Capacity Post-COVID”. This work analyzes 122 countries throughout the world and looks at ‘Resiliency Elements’ for economic success, after this Influenza gets defeated.

Beyond the economic capitalizations of countries being vastly different, other elements come into play after Covid 19. Using technology by a country’s population, such as the Internet can help; having a workforce ‘mind-think’ of adaptation to the new ‘world’ can be of use; upgrading financial systems will be of assistance; having countries’ Leaders that can ACTUALLY lead would be of great benefit; thinking on a ‘macro’ level is beneficial.

We, as International Businessmen, can also add: ‘Intellect’ is fine but it also needs to be reinforced with ‘Intrepidness’. As we have seen in others, over the many decades, when confronted with a ‘Unknown’, many people just ‘cry into their beers’: “Alas, woe are we.” Weakness is a luxury no one can afford. The World belongs to the Aggressive.

Reality: Although it might at times not appear so, there is reasonableness in being resolute: “It is better to wear out, than to rust out.”
