You're right, I did check the antifa.com re-direct to joebiden.com tip, although I don't recall resetting my home page.
Of course, just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not out to get you.

** 09-Sep-2020 World View: Navigator's book, How To Prepare For The Coming Storms

I've reviewed the first chapters of Navigator's book, How To Prepare
For The Coming Storms, and he's providing valuable detailed
information on what what's coming, as he's promised. In fact, the
information in this book is not available in any form anywhere else.

Your donation to the GoFundMe campaign will ensure the book makes it
to completion.

https://www.gofundme.com/f/coming-storms-preparation

As the book is being written, he will make new chapters available to
donors, on an encrypted basis, each time a donor contributes $100.

Half of all the money donated to the GoFundMe fund will go to
Navigator, and the other half will go to me. I've written in the past
that I'm personally going to run out of money, and so both Navigator
and I will greatly appreciate your support. We're looking for a total
donation of $8,000, including what's been donated so far.

I'm greatly looking forward to seeing Navigator's book completed, and
based on what I've seen so far, it will not disappoint.

The following is a detailed outline of the book, as provided by
Navigator:

Vietnam.

[Tom Mazanec]

Why did you pick Vietnam? I would be interested in nations that might be important in America’s future. S&H did America itself, and you did Iran (where I suspect we could have a war) and China (our top adversary). But I see no war soon with Vietnam. Russia is a superpower and will be important, why not do them?

As I've mentioned in the past, there is a company that's interested in
investing in Vietnam and who are giving me a small amount of money to
write this book. It's a book on Vietnam in the same style as my books
on Iran and China. Assuming that I have time to finish, it will be
very, very nice to add one more book to my "Generational Theory Book
Series."

Vietnam is much harder to figure out and write about than either Iran
or China because there's no unique Vietnamese culture. Instead,
Vietnam is an amalgam of various warring cultures originating from
China and India. One example of how crazymaking it is to write about
Vietnam is the number of names that historians have for the country:
Van Lang, Au Lac, Nam Viet, Giao-Chi, Giao-Chau, Van Xuan, Dai Co
Viet, Dai Viet, Annam, Tonkin, Cochinchina, Viet Nam, Vietnam, and
others. I'm working from about 250 sources that I've collected, many
of them entire books, and you wouldn't recognize the same country from
one source to the next. They all use different names for Vietnam.

Like many countries in southeast Asia, Vietnam is totally unable to
govern itself. Its population has 54 ethnic groups that mostly hate
each other, many of whom would be only too happy to see some or all of
the others exterminated, if that were possible.

You say that Vietnam isn't important, but the opposite is true.
Because of its powerful geographic position, Vietnam is the guardian
of the South China Sea, and has been for millennia. Vietnam is
China's enemy, and is allied with India and Russia. It's quite
possible that there will soon be a "Naval Battle of the South China
Sea," and Vietnam will play a very important part in that. So we may
not be expecting a war with Vietnam as an enemy, but we may be in a
war with Vietnam as a very important ally.

There's also a very interesting bit of history relevant to today. In
the late 1700s, a group of rebels engineered a coup and set up a
Marxist Socialist society -- decades before Marx was born. Every
attempt at Socialism is always an economic disaster, and this was no
exception. They stole from the landowners and soon ran out of other
people's money, so they linked up with Chinese pirates who attacked
Chinese commercial vessels. They gave the pirates safe harbor in
Vietnamese ports, and markets to sell their booty. In short, for 30
years, they constructed a plunder-based political economy that relied
largely on Chinese pirates for military and financial support.

That's similar to what Bernie Sanders et al want to do today.

** 10-Sep-2020 World View: China and Taiwan

> Chinese fighter jets buzz Taiwan for a second day as tensions rise

It was not so long ago that the official CCP position was that the
status quo should be maintained, and sooner or later the Taiwan
people would want to become part of China, because China is so
wonderful. The model, according to this fantasy, was Hong Kong and
the "one nation, two systems" arrangement.

That's now completely out the window. No one seriously believes that
the Taiwanese people will ever voluntary accept union with China.

For the CCP, that means that there's no choice: It will be necessary
to annex Taiwan through war. At this point, they may even have a day
already planned. And with China becoming visibly more belligerent and
nationalistic every day, that day may not be far off.

So Chinese jets buzzing Taiwan may just be to annoy the Taiwanese, or
it may be testing Taiwan's defenses in preparation for an imminent
war.

John - Thanks for your endorsement. I am working with focused intent on the book.

I have about 20% done. I am down to 3.d. on the outline you have included above. The finance is there for 25% of the book. I should get into Financial Preparations at that point.

But, I am NOT writing this book on spec. So far, there is just a bit past 25% funding for the book. I will stop when I get to the 25% point, and will not continue until we get the funding needed for 50%. I should be at the 25% point late this weekend or maybe Monday. I will keep you all posted.

The following was taken from an article on ZeroHedge today (therefore read with caution). Attributed to Michael Every at Rabobank:

Meanwhile, here is something to study. China has announced it plans to boost its strategic commodities reserves to assuage anxiety over energy and food security. Starting in 2021, it will make what Bloomberg calls “mammoth” purchases of crude, strategic materials, and farm goods, officials apparently say. This is being done to ensure China can ride out any repeat of this year’s supply disruptions, or a deterioration in trade relations with the US, for example. This is apparently part of the shift to “internal circulation”, or greater self-reliance, which is already being flagged, and which will kick in for the five year plan 2021-25.

Actually, those in the know know that this has already been happening across the board for some time: China has been swallowing up raw materials and strategic goods far in advance of what the economy needs right now. That means the drop in other imports --which are still down y/y overall even including this commodity surge-- is even larger. (And why aren’t FX reserves rising even as the trade surplus soars…? Mmmm.)

Here’s the understudy way to study this: go long commodities! - because obviously China buying in vast quantities for years to come, right? Expect lots of stories like that.

Here’s the star way to think about it: what does it really say if China is stocking up so much? Has there ever been a point during trade tensions where anyone has ever threatened not to sell to China? The issue is always that trade partners don’t ONLY want to sell raw materials and unprocessed commodities to it, but rather to hold more of the technology and value chain themselves. That is as true for Europe as it is for the US.

What possible disruption could be on the horizon that would require China to have a large enough buffer of all conceivable inputs --in remote inland areas to boot-- that it needs to use up its precious USD reserves in a bulk splurge now?

He thinks that China may be trying to manipulate commodities markets.

I think that if China was preparing for war, and knew that shipping imports were to be in danger, they would stockpile strategic materials. Therefore the above is a very telling sign that the preparations that take the longest to execute are underway.

** 08-Sep-2020 World View: Excusing violence

> So, where do you stand on this? Do you support continued racist
> violence and division as the Nazi did?

What are you talking about? If you think that I support racist
violence and division, then you are really screwed up.

You support and condone fascist antifa-blm thug violence, and you
seem to have applied some screwed up logic to conclude that therefore
I support and condone violence.

No, I do not support racist violence and division, and neither does
Donald Trump or William Barr or any Republican that I've heard. I
"stand against" such violence. Period.

You still haven't found any reports of violence by the Boogaloo Bois,
but if you did, then I would condemn it thoroughly, and the DOJ would
have the perpetrators in jail right away. In fact, I believe that the
DOJ has arrested hundreds of antifa-blm thugs in the last couple of
weeks for committing federal crimes.

All you've done with the Boogaloo Bois is point to a report that
they're advocating violent overthrow of the government. "Advocating"
is not the same as violence. Nutjobs like AOC, Bernie Sanders and
Kamala Harris are all advocating revolutionary violence. According to
your criteria, then all these Democrats are all violent terrorists,
white supremacists, black supremacists, fascists, and so forth.

There's a very good reason why all the violence is occurring in cities
run by Democrats. It's because Democrats are encouraging and excusing
it. It's because Democrats are saying: commit any crime you want, and
you won't be prosecuted. Commit any crime you want, and we'll call it
a summer of love. And if you do get arrested, we'll make sure you're
out on the street right away. So go ahead and burn down some
buildings, or have fun and rape some girls, or kill someone you don't
like. Boys will be boys.

But that kind of stuff doesn't happen in cities run by Republicans
(and, indeed, in most cities run by Democrats). That's because people
committing crimes in those cities are thrown in jail.

So you approve of, forgive, excuse and condone widespread violence by
fascist antifa-blm thugs. That does not mean that I approve of,
forgive, excuse or condone violence by any right-wing groups. Nor
does it mean that Donald Trump or William Barr approve, forgive,
excuse or condone violence by any right-wing groups. If you believe
otherwise, then you're totally delusional.

Stockpiling for war was my first thought too. I can't believe the writer hasn't considered this. He has probably never served in the military.
I am in Asia, so I guess I am about to find out what china is really up to.
