Great Nations’ Leaders Help Their Citizens First; Lesser Concerns Are Dealt With Thereafter [As They Should Be]

The current call for immediate cessation of the use of Coal, Natural Gas, and Oil, has the logic viability of walking across Lake Baikal in the Summer. The well-being of nations’ citizens, especially in inclement weather, must be addressed first. We think that the “Not Always There” {NAT} Energy sources can be used by the “Greenies” as they deem fit. If such sources are not sufficient to keep them warm in the Winter or cool in the Summer, so be it. To these people we say: “The odds of operating a nation successfully, with NAT Energy, is at present, mere wishful thinking. It has the substance and endurance, large scale, of a hologram.

As a nation with strong leadership, such as China, utilizes Coal to maintain high commerce levels, it also seeks other technologies to fuse into its economic system; this takes time. It is what it is.

Another advancement in Oil and Natural Gas exploration is taking place in the Arctic as Russia both develops its Northern Transportation Corridor as well as new fields in the far northern Gydan Peninsula. Russian oil company Gazprom Neft is exploring the resources in this ‘tough’ climate. We expect that Russian scientists will develop technologies to clean the hydrocarbons so atmospheric contamination is minimized. The important fact to consider is that Natural Gas and Oil: Are of immediate use; readily available; provide high levels of energy; and are economical to citizens.

Another area of energy technology developed and proven by Russia are its ‘small’ nuclear reactors. Some are placed in their Ice Breakers, on barges, and can be placed in remote areas for consistent energy, safely provided. The Russian Leaders are to be congratulated, we think, because of their great success in ‘miniaturization’ of nuclear plants; phenomenal! Also, Russia’s minimal country debt allows it the resources to seek new technologies in other energy areas.

The Americans have unfortunately been saddled with a Selected President who, both he and his ‘Crew’ have little, if any, understanding of Energy. Just like the same political party’s leadership in the earlier presidency, that fellow, was adept at shutting down Energy Projects in favor of NAT Energy. Today, fuel for automobiles, heating oil, and the like are at record levels in America due to inept and mediocre ‘littership’ in the White House. The irate public, we assess will create a tsunami of discontent that will sweep the other political party into office.

The Americans penchants for having Attorney-Politicians run the country have put it into a financial bind of $30,790,945,000,000.00+ presently. Unfortunately, these ‘Barristers’ appear to have not taken classes in Economics prior to “Law School”. The unbelievable amount of American debt, ties the country’s hands as to new technologies for Energy development, it would appear. Now do these same Attorney-Politicians say: “Print More Money” [thereby devaluing the currency], we think so.

As we, in International Business, state: “There is NO Free Lunch. Leaders look ahead before you make ‘rash moves’. The solid soil you think you are standing on, may prove to be ‘quicksand’. Other, Wise Nations’ Leaders will laugh as you sink into the morass.” Energy development by Wise Leaders is two-part, minimally, Coal, Natural Gas, and Oil in conjunction with developing NAT Energies, to become more reliable in availability.

Reality: A Politician wearing a fancy suit, a beautiful silk-tie, with hair coiffed, might be hiding behind him, in his hand: a ‘Dunce’ Cap.

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:

Sheikh Hasina – Bangladesh

Xi Jinping – China

Narendra Modi – India

Joko Widodo – Indonesia

Rodrigo Duterte – Philippines

Central America:

Nayib Armando Bukele – El Salvador

Europe:

Boris Johnson – England

Emmanuel Macron – France

Viktor Orban – Hungary

Prince Albert – Monaco

Vladimir Putin – Russia

Middle East:

Abdel Fattah el-Sisi – Egypt

King Salman – Saudi Arabia

Recep Tayyip Erdogan – Turkey

South America:

Jair Bolsonaro – Brazil

Luis Lacalle Pou – Uruguay

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

Acerbic Rhetoric, Germinated By Bureaucrats, And Orated By Politicians, Are No Substitute For Commerce Between Nations

We have observed over a number of decades, a insidious phenomena repeated multiple times: Crass and vituperative emanations spouted off by both government bureaucrats and politicians of certain countries. One example that clearly comes to mind, is the recent European transformation of a country by a coup fostered by interests in Washington, D.C.. The bureaucrat that was positioned to lead the insurrection, from across the Atlantic Ocean, orally, when in the entropic country, evidenced a animosity to both a neighboring country as well as to the European Union itself.

Unfortunately, for the aforementioned insurrectionists, in the particular country, a disheveled economy was their fortune. Additionally, geographically located citizens of the nation, decided they wanted to return to their own country, of the past. The wise leader of that large abutting nation, allowed them to return. He had his country’s construction companies build transportation arteries as the nexus between the entities, for egress and ingress. To the great dismay of the insurrectionists and the Washington, D.C. bureaucrats it was performed apace. Both the insurrectionists as well as the bureaucrats mentioned did not fare well as to their cabal; great debts are their fates. In fact, we have discussed with people of many nations elsewhere, who think the cabalists on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean, and especially the then-U.S. President, behaved deplorably. This, they opine, is in the spirit of being a hegemonic leader; a President, who before attaining office, NEVER MANAGED ANYTHING [a unfortunate situation for other nations however, a “American tradition”].

A beneficial cadherinic behavior of a Asian nation with its ‘Belt And Road Initiative’, has been with China [a historically, non-hegemonic country]. Connecting nations commercially, not only aids all parties of the nexus, but is of a even greater benefit. The intermingling at the commerce level mentioned, precludes aspirations of military conquest by bureaucrats of ANY NATION. Nations, with wise Leaders, such as China, DO NOT, AND HAVE NOT, attacked militarily, those from which they gain commercial benefit for their citizens through bi-lateral trade. Any bureaucrats, aspiring admirals or generals in countries where trade commerce flourishes, would be most likely castigated for stupidity. China, obviously seeks connectivity for business purposes, where both it and its associating countries ALL benefit. We think, the chagrin, of jealous leaders in other nations is obvious; their ‘Germalists’ create stories seeking to vilify the intentions of other nations who are engaged commercially.

If one looks back in history, it is evident, where impediments to resources are established by unipolar bureacrats and politicians, to the loss of other nations, the latter respond with aggression; time and again! International commerce is a nutrient, as well as a salve, for harmony among nations. We are of the opinion that the oftentimes, bureaucrats in other countries, create catalystic belligerant behaviors affecting the politicians they are supposed to serve [for the benefit of the country’s citizens]. These persons have their own agendas, or of their Puppet Masters’ Masters (as we have written about earlier).

The beneficial reality of the present day is: ‘Business Interests’ are NOT heeding Germalists’ rhetoric. They are deciding what is in their own financial interest. Obviously, engaging Russia commercially is a financially “Sound” idea. Why not conduct business in a land of not only abundant agriculture, educated population, excellent engineering capability, manufacturing excellence, PROVEN natural resources? The increased trade by Americans, in particular, with Russia is excellent. It beats acrimony; especially with a Selected President, who historically never voted against aggression against other countries, when he was a career Senator.

A proof of Russians’ business acumen is the country’s low debt, relatively high, bank trade assets {Gold, et al}, and perhaps best of all, lack of hegemonic attacks against other nations, continents away. The physical attribute of Russia’s mineral wealth cannot be ignored. Wise men will commercially engage the Russians, we think for projects, to not only mine, but also process the mineralizations, for ‘added value’ in export. Why not?

Reality: While aggressive suggestions of bureaucrats inspire some Politicians to hegemonic actions, Wise Leaders understand if they endorse the rhetoric, and act, they may sink in the slime of failure, while the bureaucrats scamper away in the night, like the cockroaches they surely are.

When: “What Is Yours, Is Ours” In Mining Occurs, Tribes Become Irate At The Interlopers From Other Continents

Our varied interests in Geology in general, and ‘Mining’ more specifically, over the decades, have allowed us to see the worst side of many Corporations [‘Earth Extraction Entities’ (EEE’s)]. All too often, they have sown the ‘Seeds of Discontent’ in the areas of land they mine or desire to mine. This has repeatedly been done around the world.

In Australia, we had previously written of the destruction of aboriginal artifacts through explosions in mining areas: approved in advance by elements of an Australian state government and EEE’s management. The damage done cannot be corrected. To the aborigines, what has gone, will only remain in their collective memories of their noble past.

In Africa, ‘Artisanal Miners’, who merely want to have a mere scintilla of a morsel of the diamonds, emeralds, gold, or silver they find with their hand and shovel diggings; in ocean shores, in riverbeds, or in jungles, to be sold to support their families. Large mining companies from continents afar, typically get law enforcement authorities to toss them off properties, using undo force. The management of many EEE’s do not care for the locals economic plight. They merely want the extracted mineralization at the lowest possible price [rather than ‘fair market value’]. Presently, more of the African governments are reviewing earlier mining agreements prior administrations contracted. They are finding rampant bribery to former government officials by mining companies. Furthermore, the monies attained were sent to bank accounts in Panama and elsewhere. This was the situation in Angola, for example. The citizens of the countries victimized were promised Gold, but given spoons plated with Chalcopyrite. The governments are demanding ‘Fair Market Value’ of the ores mined, not ‘Peanuts’ typically negotiated.

In northern India, artisanal riverbed rock miners have had a hard time to extract from various areas. They have decried the fact of being denied access to streams to engage in mining. Fortunately, it appears that Indian Prime Minister Narendra Damodardas Modi, has heard of their issues and is getting ‘officialdom’ in the territory to examine the facts involved. One would expect no less of this gentleman.

Papua New Guinea, has vast mineral reserves, of which Gold is a priority of EEE’s. A problem in the country, of which there are a number, is the damage done to the rivers and streams due to contamination to the watershed. In fact, this is a expansive issue with Gold mining everywhere on Earth. ‘Heap Leaching’ is employed with Potassium Cyanide or Sodium Cyanide being sprayed over the extracted ore to release the Gold from the rock. Percolation into the soil is possible where voids are present in the ‘material liners’ on which the ore is dumped. Where percolation occurs, contamination can become widespread in the immediate vicinity. Also, if a crack develops in piping taking the ‘Pregnant Liquor’ to the ‘Carbon Trees’ for convergence of Gold Particles with wire ‘wool’ contained therein, contamination of the soil underneath is probable; fauna and flora are thereby jeopardized. ‘PNG’ citizens demand accountability of the EEE’s.

In Bolivia, the indigenous groups’ lands, of which the EEE’s have been or want to mine, are upset as to the terms of contracts that have been signed. They demand dissolution of the agreements and want new, ‘balanced and fair’ terms entered into. Again, it will take Bolivian Leaders with the integrity of a Indian Prime Minister Modi, to review the complaints. They need to get their bureaucrats to renegotiate equitable terms for the citizens of Bolivia in general, and the affected tribes specifically; rapprochement should occur. Since the “Seeds of Discord’ have been sown long ago, we think the possibility of hostilities are too important to not act decisively. Physical belligerence may soon happen, with all participants losing, as a result. We anticipate the Bolivian government will understand the grievances of the tribes and deal fairly with them as well as with EEE’s, so all parties ‘win’.

It has been demonstrated, companies mining in Russia, have gone to great lengths so landowners, neighbors, as well as the environment where mining is presently occurring, are satisfied. The wise Russians learned for experiences of years ago, as to the benefits of responsible mining. In fact, EEE’s in other countries of the world, should look at Russia’s mining ‘Horn of Plenty’: Siberia [for mining extraction and processing investment opportunities]. The resource riches of Siberia, other world leaders can only dream about.

Long-term rewards in Mining, are available to only be attained by the Wise.

Reality: Mining is a industry where ‘Good Business Opportunities on Solid Ground Are Discovered, May Be Located On Quick Sand: A Mirage Is, As A Mirage Does’.

World Electronic Communications, Ranked By Nation, Demonstrates: Where Lies The Gain, And Where Is The Pain

Over the many years we, as a large group of International Businessmen, have been amused and at times perplexed by attitudes of Businessmen, Political Leaders and the Public; this as to the “Electronic Communications Internet”. Because, where our interests are engaged in daily is so widespread, covering 147,000,000 square kilometers (57,000,000 square miles) from behemoth Russia at 17 million+ square kilometers (6,600,000+ square miles) to the Chile’s Hornos Island at 25.1 square kilometers (9.7 square miles), we need to communicate speedily.

A recently published work covering 110 Countries is : “2021 Digital Quality of Life Index” by ‘SURFSHARK’, is outstanding, we think, as to: Clarity of presentation; Insight of Review; Number of Nations examined; and Scope of Elements. The ‘SURFSHARK’ Company is to be commended for its Essential Work.

Although we either engage in, or closely follow the business activities, potentialities, and political realities of more than 110 countries, that are listed, we can utilize the report’s information with enthusiasm. Information is the key to success; let it come from any source, let it be assessed in tests. Sometimes, thinking ‘Outside the box’ gives one clarity in determining the validity of the data proffered. Only the ‘Man Upstairs’ knows the Truth, we Humans must ‘dig’ to determine what the ‘Truth’ is.

We congratulate: Denmark; South Korea; Finland; Israel; U.S.; Singapore; France; Switzerland; Germany; and United Kingdom for jobs well done in Internet Communications.

It is our hope that Business and Political leaders in all of the other countries activate resources to upgrade their Internet Systems for the benefit of their customers and/or citizens. Simply put: “Increases in communication can provide increases in commerce; Increases in commerce can provide increases in tax collections, so countries can operate.”

As one example of which we write: ‘Electronic Remittances’ to Nations by their employed citizens living elsewhere, was approximately $15 billion in 2020 and in five years going forward should reach $35 billion. The 200 million foreign workers certainly need to know their monies are ending up with their desired recipients. Improving the quality of the Internet in the 110 countries listed in the aforementioned report, can facilitate monetary communications and proper transfers. Monetary flow of remittances can help countries’ Treasuries grow with tax in-flows.

Electronic Infrastructure improvement benefits Businessmen, Citizens, and Governments, in many ways. Knowing what happened, what is happening, and what may happen, can provide the knowledge holder with the keys to success. Knowing the aforementioned quickly, is the ‘Frosting on the Cake’.

Reality: A ‘speedy’ reliable Internet is to the ‘Smoke Signals’ of long ago, as the versatile Hummingbird is to the Pigeon; while each performs, one does it with verve.

“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”.

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.

From The Smallest Of Mineral Grains, May Nations And People Prosper

In [Sri Lanka] Ceylon, as in all other parts of the world, Minerals of all elements and deposit sizes, may be imperiled by unenforced mining controls. We, who are in International Business in general, and having been involved in various mining activities in many countries specifically, have witnessed wanton waste and environmental destruction. These negatives of which we write, have been performed by local individuals, all the way to Foreign Corporate Interests [FCI’s], from other continents.

Common threads by the FCIs in their practices are: Destroying ‘Miner’s Monuments’; “Over-staking” properties; MINIMAL ‘Royalties Percentages’ to landowners; Non-payments (or tardy submissions) of royalties to landowners, thereafter; No property remediation after mining; Lacking insurance for deaths or injuries to miners working deposits; and no payments for fauna injuries and deaths in mining areas. We have seen it all.

On a smaller business scale, are individuals ‘usurping’ mineralization deposits with their ‘self-interest entrepreneurship’ of taking what they find [no matter who the property belongs (personal, local, state, or federal)]. They do this with no intentions of paying for their bounties through remissions to others and/or tax remunerations to governments.The sad thing which typically occurs, is the logarithmic damages to the environment flora and fauna. However, these individuals could care less.

To Sri Lanka’s, North, in India, it has been widely reported, and some of us have witnessed the the widespread damages that have occurred with “Bandit” ‘river-rocks’ mining activities. Without following prescribed permitting and regulation, substantial damages occur, especially in Spring run-offs in the affected areas.

In South America, rampant illicit [as well as poorly observed legal Gold mining operations] have torn up the land and contaminated ground-waters with Cyanide [used in ‘heap-leaching’]; this chemical contamination is long-lasting to the affected areas. These damages, some of us have observed ‘first-hand’.

In Australia, a recent “Culturally Blasphemous“ incident occurred with both government as well as mining company executives allowing for detonations which destroyed some of the aborigines’ property. Apparently both groups were in need of education as to “Explosives Potentials” as well as “Cultures Respect”. The damage done is permanent; monetary redress is only a partial substitute, we maintain.

It appears very obvious to all of us, in our varied geographic locations that: Government leaders need to understand the financial benefits to their jurisdictions and nation with mining operations; Funding for enforcement activities should be advanced; Miners should realize they must follow the rules of mineral removals; Remediation must occur to the properties following mining activities; Land-owners must be paid a appropriate and fair percentage of that wealth which they are losing by mineral subtractions on their property; Taxes MUST BE PAID for this process to work.

We certainly realize that the “Mining Horn Of Plenty” SIBERIA [with Mineral Riches beyond belief], is avariciously looked at by Foreign Governments and their Intelligence Agencies. One can certainly understand others HUGE interest in this part of Russia. However, as to Moscow’s Wise Leadership, one can assume, understands ‘Wolves bleating as though they are Sheep’. Foreigners, as they have historically had learned, or will learn: “The Strong Bear Protects It Turf With A Ferocity No Sane Man Wants To Endure.”

Reality: There can be NO SOCIETY without “Mining”. It is Man’s incipient activity, which precedes all that endures physically in nations.
