“Law And Order In 2021”: Makes Sense, And For Businessmen, Can Make ‘Cents’

In our International Travels, we had visited many countries around the globe, ‘Pre-Coronavirus CV19’; and we now visit fewer, until the Influenza abates, as Influenzas do.

The main concern we have, as travelling International Businessmen, is not so much our health, as we have a exemplary diet regimen we all follow. No, the matter of our Personal Safety is of paramount importance. If one is accosted, aggressed, assailed, or attacked [take your pick], it can ruin ‘one’s whole day’. Business trips are NOT cheap, and are very time-consuming beforehand; preparation is worth its weight in Gold. To have a miscreant[s] engage in felonious behavior against us, is something we always are on the alert.

As we advise individuals and businesses as to budgets, projects, implementations, products, et al, we always put SAFETY up-front for they to consider. We routinely assess all the countries with whom we visit. If we think a country has leaders who do not ‘get it’, as to Citizens or Visitors’ safeties, we will do ‘an abort’ on recommending that country for commerce. Our strict criteria has been employed by all of us for decades and we have been fairly safe, with a few mishaps over the many years. As prepared as we can be, sometimes “‘Scata’ Happens” and we are trained in response procedures for our viabilities. The broken bones, burns, cuts, and scars some of us have, attest to the environments we were in. However, we are still here today; ably and enthusiastically working!

To those of you who wish to understand the various levels of efficiencies in Nations for their Citizens’ and Visitors’ Safeties look to the superb work: “https://www.gallup.com/analytics/357173/2021-law-order-report.aspx”. Typical of the Gallup Organization is their conciseness and objectivity in obtaining thought assessments of their interviewees. Gallup is a ‘Master’ of this industry, we think.

In Nations with tighter social controls, people feel safer. While Norway for example, a moderate-size country, has top-ranking for Safety, a gargantuan country as China, also excels. Younger Norway does not have 10,000+ years of culture behind it, as does the ‘Dragon’, but it understands “Safety Is Number One”. China’s leaders Wisdom have allowed it to endure and survive for a long time; another 10,000 years, we think, is likely [with ‘Public Safety’ as a key element].

Gallup gives a ’87’ ranking to the United States; we think that this will decline over time. The current, very weak Federal Administration, with its effete Selected President, has too many Puppet Masters telling him how to proceed for all that he does. His allowing American cities to burn this past summer, with next to no law enforcement, nor U.S. Department of Justice prosecutions of the various cities’ terrorists, says a great deal. Apparently their mantra is “‘Justice’, for Just Us”.

The United Arab Emirates at 95% can be easily comprehended by those who reside there or have visited. Security Personnel, are “On the Ball” in assuring ‘Peace and Quiet for All’. The smaller geographic size aids, we think in their mission. The capable Leaders understand the commercial significance of ‘Security’.

Austria, Croatia, Finland, Slovenia, Switzerland, Taiwan, Tajikistan are to also be congratulated. Their efficiencies in Security are well understood.

As for the various countries who received ‘less than the best scores’ we say: “Concentrate on Security if you want your country to financially prosper. No legitimate Corporation nor Investor will engage you, if ‘tyranny’ prevails against your public. Since we are of the opinion: ‘Crime Pays both to the criminal as well as government officials who allow it to occur; clean your house up if you want your country to prosper. Crime keeps occurring because some of you allow it, for your own gains. Wise Up!'”

Again, our ‘kudos’ to the Gallup Organization for a very informative report. To businessmen who want to prosper, we say: Marketing to the public [Products or Projects] is less effective when their consciousness is not on your message, but on their survival.

Those of you who want to invest elsewhere, contact us by E-Mail, FAX, or Telephone and we can appraise you, in a meeting with us in Las Vegas, Nevada. We can save you much money, but also, a lot of time, with our knowledge of the world. Our experiences over the decades have allowed us to look beyond the horizon to what very well could occur to investments elsewhere. We look forward to meeting you in 2022.

Best Regards and Happy Holidays to all!

Reality: Nothing is more important, than one’s very existence.

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.

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.

Finland’s Small Construction Contractors: Tax Evasion Is Where Authorities Look

News Analysis: Finland’s Small Construction Contractors: Tax Evasion Is Where Authorities Look; some individuals say is really due to Tax Rates being too High. However, a Corporate Tax Rate of 20% along with a Maximum National Personal Tax Rate of 30% can hardly be designated to be ‘Draconian’.

Finnish Tax Authorities discovered approximately $200 Million Dollars of Tax Revenue Losses when inspecting the books of Small Construction Projects. This sum contributes to European Tax Authorities Estimate of almost $1 Trillion Dollars in Yearly Tax Revenue Losses through Evasion throughout Europe; no small sum.

Since the “Morality of the Marketplace” is so Low, one can presume Tax Evasion will continue to grow throughout Europe. The VERY SAME Tax Evaders will be the first to complain about: The Poor Conditions of their Country’s Roadways; Not Close-Enough Schools for their Children; Insufficient Fire and/or Police Protection; Shoddy Public Health Care; Etc.- All Paid For By Tax Revenues (which they Evade).

Financial Tax Hypocrisy is Alive and Well.

★ European Countries Debt Load Is Estimated At 134% Of Gross Domestic Product (GDP)

News Analysis: Increasing again in an overall “Soft Macro-Economy” are the Debt Loads of the various European Countries. Since the various Central Banking Organizations have varied “Threshold Limit Points” numerically, they are in disagreement of the increasing danger of a Recession.

Members of the European Community have decreasing Exports and increasing elderly. Outflow of Funds is growing faster than inflow of revenue as a result. Finland in particular faces that reality now.

Germany appears to be the only Manufacturing Country in Europe with presently Significant “Larger Dollar” Exports” (identifiable to the country) such as Automobiles, for example.

Italy with its Ferrari/Maserati and  Lamborghini Automobiles participate on a much smaller Export Level numerically.

To assist in providing an Economic Turnabout will have to be the Consortium of  what formerly was called ‘European Aeronautic Defense and Space Company N.V.’ (EADS) but is NOW “The Airbus Group”. It consists of: Airbus, Airbus Defense & Space, and Airbus Helicopters (all ‘Big-Ticket’ Items). It exports to the entire World  can help all of the countries in Europe participating in various aspects of its manufacture, improve their ‘GDP’.

If European Aerospace and Automobile Manufacturers continue to focus their Marketing and Sales efforts in the Middle East and Asia they will succeed. “Going Where The Money Is” should be their Credo. Automobile Manufacture and Export Sales will help their ‘GDP’

European Continent Cellular Telephone And Computer Manufacturers presently have a Superb Opportunity to Fabricate “Bug-Less” Equipment which can be sold around the world. If both Internal Componentry, Software, and the like are NOT CONTAMINATED with “Invasive Electronics” the world populations will flock to purchase said devices. People and Corporations Want Their Privacy To Remain Private. Such sales will help spur on each country’s ‘GDP’.

It is very interesting to note that while there appears to be a slight regression towards Increases In Country’s Debt Loads, many Stock Exchanges are gleeful at the prices of securities on their Exchanges. One must ask: If Country Debt Loads are high with NO foreseeable major improvements expected in 2014, is Financial Manipulation being played to entice investors into a another mere “Bubble”? Are the “Bubble Masters” at work in a ‘Financial Cabal’? If so, when will the “Bubble Masters” decide to exit the “Mirage” (taking their profits with them)?

As Governments show concern about their Country’s  Debt Loads, should not Investors also exercise similar caution in this “Contrived Market” with  Poor ‘Fundamentals’?

There are Financial Opportunities in Markets. However, to look for them wearing “Rose Colored Glasses” is a Fool’s Endeavor.

Reality.

Proposed Finland To Asia Fiber Optics Line Via Northern Sea Route

News Analysis: Proposed Finland to Asia Fiber Optic Line Via Northern Sea Route is an excellent idea. Beyond decreased transmission time  ‘measured in milliseconds’ over 14,900 km ( 9,258 Sm) there is less chance of Intentional Interruption of Line Integrity. The “Enemies of Humanity”, wherever they might be located, would have a much more difficult time in locating and damaging this proposed Northern Route.

Economic benefit to Nations located at both ‘ends of the line’ should be substantial, one might argue.

Further diversification of World Communication Routes is an Exercise is Applied Wisdom.

Reality.

Finland Building at Eight Billion+ Euros?

News Analysis:  Finland Building at Eight Billion+ Euros is currently being forecast by some people in Helsinki. Their contention is that a more-than-doubling of Estimated Construction Costs is primarily a result of delays in building. The date of Contract signing was  in 2002.  A purported Cost Estimate for Construction was initially 3.2 Billion Euros.

One might consider that since 2008 Global Financial Debacle, there has been a World-Wide Reduction in Nuclear Power Plant Construction ‘NPCC’. Additionally, the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Disaster in Japan on 11 March, 2011 further impeded ‘NPCC’.  As such,  allocating an additional Five Billion Euros, as an Estimated Increase in Construction Costs predominately due to a time delay, some would suggest is quite Problematic. 

One can assume the current Dearth of ‘NPCC’ makes such an Estimated Cost-To-Complete Increase, in this matter, Suspect for some Citizens of Finland. If the Eight Billion+ Euro Costs is correct it will be the World’s Most Expensive Building.

Trust, But Verify.
