I've read some compelling arguments about Biden being a puppet used to weaken and/or destroy America. Biden reads from a teleprompter and answers only prepared questions, and with difficulty at that. His policies do seem at odds with what's best for the country. Some have said it's intergovernmental rivalry, others claim it's a global phenomenon wherein USA national sovereignty must be weakened for a global government. How much of either scenario is true?

When a policy has unintended consequences, and the unintended
consequences go on for a long time, with no attempt to stop them, then
it's reasonable to conclude that the consequences are intentional.

Amazing to see the collapse of Afghanistan happen so quickly. Normalcy bias is a part of human nature. Even when Obama was running the show I never thought it would get this bad.

Things seem to be picking up pace. The virus is not going anywhere, Israel is talking about a 4th COVID "vaccine". I personally know people who got both shots and are very sick with the virus. On the positive side, the news about Ivermectin treating COVID is getting out despite what the Democrat Stalinists are trying to do. The truth always prevails.

The inflation in the economy along with the reduction in unemployment benefits will have consequences. I have noticed the inflation when shopping. The real estate market is screwed up.

A person who owns 3 homes in the U.S. facing homelessness is something I would never have imagined could happen. Yet here it is: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/eviction-b ... ants-rent/

I'm sure as we enter deeper into the crisis the U.S. government will be pulling other sorts of shenanigans.

I'm continuing to prepare. My short term goals are acquiring what I need to not have to leave my property for 1 year.

I don't think this is incompetence, this is planned and it is treason. These people already committed treason by stealing the election and now they are moving with their plans as fast as anyone could have expected. Biden and Harris are not in charge, they are just puppets. By the way anyone thinking that this is incompetence , no one is this incompetent or stupid. The silver lining is that they didn't have large scale support before all of this and they have been loosing more and more support by the day. I've been reading and hearing that they are loosing the support of the lower level officers in the military and the rank and file troops. this loosing of what support they had is very bad news for them, I think things are going to get very interesting. Also I have read that the anti Taliban rebellion has been defeated, apparently Pakistan's military and intelligence agency were the once that went into Afghanistan and took them out. India and Russia are not going to want China and Pakistan to control Afghanistan. I think more and more that this is the wedge that will end the cooperation between Russia and China.

Yes, very commonly people believe that incompetence rules the day over everything else because a) it does on some level, especially in bureaucracies, but more importantly - b) people do not want to believe that nefarious things are going on (in their country), especially in America.

Of course Biden and Harris are puppets. The most easily recognizable puppets ever, in fact. Most of the presidents in our lifetime have been puppets, by the way. But because people don't want to believe that (as above), they ignored the obvious for years.

Yet more evidence from a recent FOIA on Fauci shows that treason is quite obvious - personal gain may largely be the particular focus of that disgusting individual, but when reckless disregard of the truth and your own countrymen's health is part of your agenda, treason is the case for certain, in my view. It is deserving of the death penalty under our Constitution, to boot - not that anyone cares about the Constitution, though, I know.

Hey, John.

I’d like to correct you on who told Joe McCarthy “have you no decency, sir”. It was not a Democrat Senator who said this, but rather the chief counsel of the US Army, Joseph N. Welch.

BlackRock’s China Blunder
Pouring billions into the country now is a bad investment and imperils U.S. national security.
By George Soros
Sept. 6, 2021 11:42 am ET

BlackRock, the world’s largest asset manager, has begun a major initiative in China. On Aug. 30 it launched a set of mutual funds and other investment products for Chinese consumers. The New York-based firm is the first foreign-owned company allowed to do so. The launch came just weeks after BlackRock recommended that investors triple their allocations in Chinese assets. This will push billions of dollars into China. “The Chinese market represents a significant opportunity to help meet the long-term goals of investors in China and internationally,” BlackRock Chairman Larry Fink wrote in a letter to shareholders.

BlackRock takes its responsibilities for its clients’ money seriously and is a leader in the environmental, social and governance movement. But it appears to misunderstand President Xi Jinping’s China.

The firm seems to have taken the statements of Mr. Xi’s regime at face value. It has drawn a distinction between state-owned enterprises and privately owned companies, but that is far from reality. The regime regards all Chinese companies as instruments of the one-party state.

This possible misunderstanding could explain BlackRock’s decision, but there may be another explanation. The profits to be earned from entering China’s hitherto closed financial markets may have influenced their decision. The BlackRock managers must be aware that there is an enormous crisis brewing in China’s real-estate market. They may believe that investment funds flowing into China will help Mr. Xi handle the situation, but the president’s problems go much deeper. China’s birthrate is much lower than official statistics indicate and Mr. Xi’s attempts to increase it have made matters worse. The president recently launched his “Common Prosperity” program, which is a fundamental change in direction. It seeks to reduce inequality by distributing the wealth of the rich to the general population. That does not augur well for foreign investors.

Pouring billions of dollars into China now is a tragic mistake. It is likely to lose money for BlackRock’s clients and, more important, will damage the national security interests of the U.S. and other democracies. Mr. Xi faces an important hurdle in 2022. Many believe he intends to overstep the term limits established by Deng Xiaoping and make himself ruler for life. He is bound to have enemies, whom he must prevent from uniting against him. Thus, he needs to bring to heel any entity rich enough to exercise independent power.

This process has been unfolding in the past year and reached a crescendo in recent weeks. It began with the abrupt cancellation of a new issue by Alibaba’s Ant Group in November 2020. Then came the disciplinary measures against Didi Chuxing after it floated an issue in New York in June. Things culminated with the banishment of U.S.-financed tutoring companies from China. This had a profoundly negative effect on offshore markets, hammering New York-listed Chinese companies and shell companies. Chinese financial authorities have tried to reassure markets ever since.

The leaders of Western asset-management firms, such as Stephen Schwarzman, co-founder of investment firm Blackstone, and former Goldman Sachs President John L. Thornton, have long been interested in the Chinese consumer market—and in the prospect of business opportunities dangled by Mr. Xi.

BlackRock is only the latest company trying to engage with China. Earlier efforts could have been morally justified by claims that they were building bridges to bring the countries closer, but the situation now is totally different. Today, the U.S. and China are engaged in a life and death conflict between two systems of governance: repressive and democratic.

The BlackRock initiative imperils the national security interests of the U.S. and other democracies because the money invested in China will help prop up President Xi’s regime, which is repressive at home and aggressive abroad. Congress should pass legislation empowering the Securities and Exchange Commission to limit the flow of funds to China. The effort ought to enjoy bipartisan support.
