Hi Chewy,
So you did not see the blank face bobbing up and down and hear the uh-uh. Many do not understand nor want to understand what is happening and why. If they decide to follow John that is great and you have someone to speak with on these events of the world.

Re: Generational Dynamics World View News
jm: I am an "elder" in my family's generational make-up and so I don't really get the head-shaking or doubt.
A while back, I actually explained to our different family generations that "I didn't just wake up one day hoping to be this family's doom-and-gloomer -- my cosmic purpose in this life is to keep you all safe, informed, and prepared."
So, not surprisingly, the only one who doubted what I was telling him was our family's Uber Liberal, who didn't want to hear that we weren't going to war...because he especially despises President Trump and wanted to be able to place more blame on Trump for all the world's ills.
btw I just donated to John too and also bought one of his books off Amazon. Hope it helps!!

A few typos, John. But I can only assume these were do to a lack of sleep. Hong Kong was British until 1997, not 1977. Hong Kong's two systems, one country status ends in 2047, not 1947. Otherwise excellent analysis of the situation as usual. Thank you. I bought and like both of your GD books.

I note that both of these comments agree that most Taiwanese do NOT
speak Cantonese, which I had assumed would follow from Taiwan's
heritage in people fleeing the communists through Hong Kong in 1949.
However, I also take note of the fact that these two comments appear
to disagree on whether the most commonly spoken language is Mandarin
or Taiwanese.
Here's a comment from a reader in Taiwan:

** 11-Jan-2020 World View: Anti-regime protests grow as Iran admits shooting down passenger plane
Iran is looking more and more like America during the height of the
antiwar protests during the late 1960s.
Today's admission by the Iranian regime is the equivalent of any of
the major admissions made by presidents Johnson and Nixon, triggering
new rounds of anti-American protests.
Protesters are furious not only that the plane was shot down, but also
that every agency in Iran's government lied about it for many days.
They're chanting "death to the liars" and they're calling for the
resignations of supreme leader Khamenei and president Rouhani.
President Nixon was, of course, forced to resign, but that was after
years of hearings and pressure that were necessary because the
US constitution is full of checks and balances.
In my book on Iran, I did a detailed analysis of Iran's constitution.
The remarkable thing about it is that it contains no checks and
balances whatsoever. Khomeini set it up that way so that he could
become a dictator with no checks and balances. That's why Iran
is a kleptocracy today, with no way for the government to do any
business at all except through bribery and extortion.
So now there's an ironic twist. The checks and balances that protected
Nixon for long time do not exist for Khamenei, and so if the protests
become too large and there's a loss of confidence in Khamenei, that's
all it would take for the "velvet coup" or "bloodless coup" or
"regime change" that I've been talking about. The result
could be a return of the Shah.
By the way, Russians shot down Malaysian Airlines MH17 passenger plane
in July 2014 and despite massive investigations providing in
controvertible proof of Russia's culpability, they still make
ridiculous statement blaming others. Iran's admission will put
pressure on Russia to make a similar admission.

A "synthetic" creole composed of the "popular" parts of each of the aforementioned "languages" should be created to be used as a lingua franca.
