Mortality Scaling: Viewed By Examining Ten Countries In The Americas, And Their Populations [Big Is Not Necessarily Bad, Nor Best]

We have had, and continue to have, a great interest in Central and South America. They are Lands of Opportunities, on a Scalar weighting equal in many ways to Africa, or the other resources giant, Siberia. The urban development in Central and South America bodes well for Investors who want to seek equipment, personnel, or ready large transportation vehicles for exploration, to perhaps a greater degree than Africa or Siberia, at this moment.

The superior analysis performed in the report: “Scaling of mortality in 742 metropolitan areas of the Americas” in ‘Science Advances’ is helpful to wise investors. It provides a plethora of data on the varied RISKS inherent in the varied geographies of ten countries examined. The countries reviewed are: Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Mexico, Peru, Panama, and the United States.

Large metropolitan areas, as well as ‘mid-size’ cities, were examined as to mortalities due to: criminal behaviors causing deaths, health problems, pollution, suicides, and transportation deaths. The interesting correlations of, for example of heavy auto traffic causing slower vehicular speeds, which may lead to fewer pedestrian deaths; contrasted with said traffic, increased pollution which may be fatal to some people with lung diseases.

A interesting counter to the realities provided regarding urbanizations for investors’ projects is: Many of the negatives inherent in the cities [Crime causing deaths, for example] are NOT to be found in a vast expanse such as Siberia; It has proportionately a lesser number of large urban areas to its physical area. The smaller towns and villages therein, could be expected to have eager workers, without the ‘Negative-Attitude Contamination’ such as found in most American cities. The Russian Culture does not tolerate homicidal behavior. Additionally, the smart Russians are ‘quick-studies’ as to mechanical and technical areas needed, for investors projects; this, such as mining and processing of ores for ‘Added Value’.

Africa is also of interest to Wise Investors for both the natural resources available, as well as its approximately 1,387,000,000+/- people living therein, who could be employed. Already, a great history of ‘Artisanal Miners’ have used their energies productively. The large population base bodes well for employers. Interestingly, its low mortality numbers are present compared to all other world geographies as to Coronavirus CV19. We, as laymen, in International Business, think it is in large part due to both the diets, as well as social behaviors in Africa’s 54 countries.

Insurance Actuaries would be using such information from this thorough compendium, about selected countries’ mortalities, to determine costs to their companies for policies to be written for activities in the aforementioned countries. “Risks have costs; Greater Risks have greater costs” is a applicable old, miner’s adage in evaluating possible projects. One will never last in business if one does not pay attention to costs involved in engaging in commercial activities. As we have declared many times before: “There is NO Free Lunch”.

Our friends in Central and South America, may want to review the excellent work in the aforementioned ‘Report’. It may help Government Leaders to see where funds should be spent in 2022 and beyond; This, to make their fine countries even more pleasant for both citizens as well as visitors. Any improvements will act as inducements to investors to come and engage in projects.

Reality: “Room for Improvement” only exists for those who understand: ‘That which is good, is not good enough’.

Strong National Leaders List For 2021

This year, globally, Nations were beset with twists and turns, that required effective Leaders to take Long Views of events occurring in their countries. By climbing up to high peaks and looking down at the panoramas before them, they could see where their energies needed to be placed. By ignoring Mainstream Media tempests, which are omnipresent when times are ‘tough’, these Leaders focused in orderly fashion on the needs of their citizens.

In 2021, we have evaluated the approximately 200 countries and determined, with intended objectivity, to ascertain those Leaders who continually acted decisively, and responsibly; this, to the many impediments in front of each of them. Our list is one that required vast amounts of our time to assess, evaluate, edit, and complete as the months rolled by. Some additions, to last year’s evaluations occurred; gross ineptitude showed its ugly face, though mediocre actions, in other deletions being necessitated.

We are of the persuasion, having viewed, over many decades, what we think Leaders are, and one thing is consistently evidenced is: A dearth of effect on them, by Puppet Masters’ Masters who attempt their influences. This year, one leader in particular, of a large Nation, was so obviously manipulated by his Marionetters, to be laughable, if his actions were not so harmful to that country.

Our Motto is: Tell it to us as it is; we deal with realities, not Main Stream Media (MSM) holograms. We all noticed, from our various countries, that the aforementioned large Nation’s MSM, have been mysteriously silent as to their leader’s gaffes, goofs, and gobbly-gook. They wanted him in office and now they can all choke on the ‘Crow’ they are eating. It serves them well.

All of the Leaders on our list may have varied actions, ideas, and purposes, with which we do not agree. We do however, respect them all as Leaders, not ‘litters’ as we have mentioned. The fact that they are patriots for their countries is excellent. Hence, their being somewhat devoted, to national wealth creation, should come as no surprise. Each of them appear to understand that COMMERCE [International Commerce] is in the best interest of their Nations. Non-hegemonic actions is requisite for GOOD COMMERCE. One does NOT go to war with one’s Customers.

It is our desire that the other Nations of the world, evaluate the Leaders’ actions on this 2021 List and take from it the best; implement such, for their own countries benefits. Inspiration can provide growth opportunities to the intrepid.

The following Leaders (King, President, or Prime Minister) [by Continent/Country], we are of the opinion, have shown strength of Character, Intellect, Integrity, and what we, as International Businessmen all revere, Wisdom.

Africa:

Edouard Ngirente – Rwanda

Asia:

We wish to each of you, for the remainder of this year, and in future years, Good Health, Good Luck, and Continued Wisdom.

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.

Strong National Leaders List For 2020

As International Businessmen, we communicate at various times, with citizens of the approximately 200 countries in the world; this, through visitations primarily, and also telephonically. Over the years we have found that a person’s body language, including eye behaviors and voice pitch, amplitude, and word frequency says ‘volumes’. Such data is not available in mere ‘E-Mails’; Face-To-Face is best for privacy also.

In assessing Nations’ leaders, we want to know, above the standard economic data of a country [readily accessible on many formats], what the citizens think of their leaders. For accuracy,  close contact is required. Due to the fact many of us have nurtured many long-term business relationships with these citizens, honest discussions, without fear nor favor, take place.  Our Motto is: Tell it to us as it is; we deal with realities, not Main Stream Media (MSM) Holograms.

For this year of 2020, we have determined some Leaders, have performed exceptionally well; this, as judged by Current Economic Data [unfortunately, in part influenced by CV19], and by their citizens views of them. As an example, those listed did not suffer from “‘Politicians’ CV 19 FLU Pandemic Panic” and shut down their countries economies, as others have done; this at a cost the other leaders will not want to disclose to their citizenry.

We do not agree with all of their decisions our listed Leaders made, this year; nor do the other list Leaders agree with each other. However, the important concept to keep in mind: These Leaders LEAD, in spite of ridicule by political competitors, MSM, or other hegemonic countries leaders [or their nefarious ‘Agencies’]. They try to do their very best for their country: Culturally, Economically, Politically, and Socially; Patriots They Are.

We hope that all other Nations will have their leaders excel so that efficient International Business can prevail in 2021 and beyond; this with  “Internationalist”, not “Globalist” agendas.

The following Leaders [by Continent/Country], we are of the opinion, have shown strength of Character, Intellect, Integrity, and perhaps most of all, Wisdom.

Asia:

Xi Jinping– China

Narendra Moti – India

Joko Widodo – Indonesia

Rodrigo Duterte – Philippines

Europe:

Boris Johnson– England

Emmanuel Macron – France

Viktor Orban – Hungary

Prince Albert – Monaco

Vladimir Putin– Russia

Middle East:

Abdel Fattah el-Sisi – Egypt

Benjamin Netanyahu – Israel

King Salman – Saudi Arabia

Recep Tayyip Erdogan – Turkey

North America:

Donald Trump – United States of America

South America:

Jair Bolsonaro – Brazil

Luis Lacalle Pou – Uruguay

Best of Good Health, Good Luck, and Continued Wisdom to each, for the remainder of 2020, and in the coming years.

“Bolts Out Of The ‘Black'”: Lightning Megaflashes

The United Nations’ World Meteorological Organization [WMO], reported a 700+ kilometers [435+ statute miles] long, lightning megaflash. This behemoth of energy flow occurred in Brazil on 31 October, 2018. Elsewhere, there have been other impressive bolts.

Previously, ground mapping stations were utilized to review lightning strikes. However, spatial considerations, among other factors, provided the impetus for building ‘special-task’ satellite-imaging craft; these for lightning flow assessments. Now, both distances traveled, as well as energies-released measurements, can occur over wider expanses. By utilizing both ground and space systems conjointly, precision is attained.

The ‘macro-geometric’ measuring capability should allow meteorologists, far and wide, the ability to evaluate lightning in a manner not possible just a few years ago. Satellite technology provides three-dimensional measuring capability, on a multi-nation scale, in many areas of the world.

A sailor, ‘Top Side’ on a merchant ship, [be it a ‘Bulker’, ‘Container’, L.N.G., or, Oil Tanker] may be standing at a height of 10 meters above the water line. His ‘visible horizon distance” is 11.3 kilometers [7.0 statute miles] in good weather. Ergo, he would never see that which could strike him, from far beyond the horizon, until it was far too late. Now, a ship ‘radarman’ must be aware of the aforementioned, great striking distance of lightning; and thereby alert any crewmen ‘on deck’. This new information from the WMO, may be life-savers.

One might consider what long-term economic impact this technology will have for the Insurance industry, for one. To know: the probability of such electrical events occurring; when, during the year; of what intensities and durations; over which geographic areas, will be invaluable to Insurers and Re-Insurers. With such knowledge: Actuaries can establish insurance rates; customers may find it economically advantageous to minimize property losses. They might by installing preemptively, electrical storm mitigating technologies [as have been long-required on ships]; this would certainly benefit the Insurance Industry. [There may be many smiling faces in Bermuda.] Those who wisely invest in Insurance Companies’ stocks may also be elated by increases in profits.

Reality: Understanding Mother Nature, is for wise men, a roadway to comprehending, and obtaining cost-mitigating efficiencies; this, for business and personal profits.

U.S. National Security Agency (NSA): Has The Technical Capability Of Monitoring 193+ Countries’ Citizens; Because It Can, It Does

News Analysis: The impressive World Monitoring Capabilities of the NSA appears to be beyond the capacities of other Countries to interdict for the Privacy Protection of their citizens. As a result, the U.S. National Security Agency (NSA) has the technical capability of monitoring 193+ Countries’ citizens; because it can, it does.

It is interesting to note that this Hegemonic Attitude of Washington, D.C., towards other Nations is scantily addressed by the World Mass Media. In fact, it takes the strength of a Brazilian President, Ms. Dilma Rousseff to specifically object to both Privacy Invasion as well as alleged physical intrusion by NSA into the Sovereign Nation of Brazil. One must ask: “What vocal opposition is emanating from other so-called ‘World Leaders’ concerning NSA Right to Privacy transgressions of their countries?” These ‘Leaders’ are as noisy as leaves blowing in the breeze.

Some Political Scientists are of the opinion that the ‘Invasion’ by the NSA into the Territories of other Nations, is tantamount to ‘Military Over-run’ today( as was the WW II ‘Axis’ in the late 1930’s and 1940’s using physical troops). To some, this thought is very frightful: “An Invasion Remotely” (which it certainly is) by a “Privacy Ignoring” U.S. entity directed by the White House. For honest American Citizens, this thought is distasteful, to people of other Nations, it is abhorrent. .

Encrypting electronic data, or establishing another form of Internet?; both would merely slow down the Electronic Deciphering of NSA. It CERTAINLY would not stop it (it is too advanced). Pressure has to be put on this ‘Entity’ through the United Nations and other Multi-National Organizations  such as BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa). Beyond that, an IMMEDIATE cessation of purchasing Goods and Services from American companies who have been directly complicit or supportive of Personal Privacy Intrusions by the NSA. For these large corporations, “Their days will not be Sunny, when customers take away their Money”. Let these corporations apply pressure to their “Lackeys in D.C. ” for correction.

America needs political leaders who are genuinely enamored by the ‘Founding Fathers’ construction of the U.S. Constitution; a Document meant to prevent harassment of America’s Citizenry by their own Government. To date, it does not appear that many such leaders are performing towards this result (who are in “The District of Columbia”). 

The “Over-sight” by the U.S. Government to the NSA practices is laughable, many people say; “Foxes guarding the Hen House” is more suitable, loyal Americans think.

Reality.

☆ Chilean Civilians Enjoy The Many Uses Of Chinese Drones

News Analysis: Chilean Civilians Enjoy The Many Uses Of Chinese Drones for Commercial Purposes as well as for Personal Pleasure. These $4,500.00 Drones are sent to Chile and undergo final assembly and inspection before being released to customers. Each customer may undergo instruction in proper fly procedures as well as understand Chilean Legalities of use in the airspace; THESE “EVO” DRONES ARE NOT TOYS. 

Typical Chilean uses for such small aircraft may be: Bridge Inspections; Concert Viewing; Crop Analysis; Forest Fire Detection; Mineral Locating; News Events; Traffic Congestion Monitoring; Trespasser Identification; and, Vehicle Locating; to name a few.

Presently, in the World, Chile is Number 5, for Internet Contact with the Manufacturer, in the use of this particular aircraft.

Various cameras and optional equipment can give the Operator the information flow he or she needs when flying the craft. The aircraft weighs less than 4.5Kg. (10 Lbs.) without the cameras of various capabilities being offered. 

Due to the very Low Price and the Capabilities of the small Aircraft, we can see: Australians checking their Sheep Herds; Canadian Gold Mining Operators looking for ‘Sight-Seers’;

Growers in Kalamata, Greece inspecting their Olive Trees; Ranchers throughout the American West or Argentina or Brazil watching their Cattle Herds; Vintners in the Napa-Sonoma-Mendocino area of California using this equipment to inspect their Grape Crops.

Almost anywhere Security must be “Tight” such as the aforementioned Gold Operations, this Aircraft is essential. In large “New Construction” Projects, both trespassers can be thwarted and equipment and/or materials readily located.

The possibilities of assistance by using this Aircraft are only limited by one’s imagination.

Reality.

☆ A Billion Billion Tons Of Water In Earth’s Core

News Analysis: Ringwoodite, an Olivine Mineral thought to be in the Earth’s Core is viewed to help evidence a Billion Billion Tons Of Water in the Core. In Brazil, a Diamond discovered there had the Element therein. Included was 1.5% of its weight in water. That percentage extrapolated against what is estimated to be the Ringwoodite Deposits present  the large Earth’s Core liquid estimate.

There is no present possibility of drilling into the depths of the Earth’s Core to test for Ringwoodite. “Miraculously” the Diamond was ejected through cracks in the Core up to the Earth’s Surface.

The Water Estimate of the Earth’s Core may lead Geologists towards solving questions about Continental Drift, Earthquakes, Volcanism, and the like.

One small Rough Diamond may lead to Enormous Answers for Mankind.

Reality.
