Support Our President


Support Our President

by

Personal status is a very important matter when heads of State have conferences such as a G20 or the current G7.

Status has to do first off with the strength of the country.  The momentum currently is with China and the US is slipping to second, no longer first.  The US should automatically sit at the head of the table because all other countries of any consequence, even China, are sucking off us in one way or another.  They have all been tremendous beneficiaries of the United State for over a hundred years now.

We are the big consumer that have kept and keep their economies running.  All other countries have favorable trade balances with us to our loss.  That the means the US if giving more than it is getting as the Pres. so accurately maintains.

When the heads of State gather, such as at this G7 the men and women themselves are not equals.  The most talented and skillful will assume a dominant position.  There is a battle for preeminence.  The leaders’ role in their own countries may be compared to the quarterback of a football team.  As capable as he may be he has little or no power unless the rest of the team perform their roles.  It therefore follows that for maximum effect the leader’s country should be offering him its full support.  This isn’t hard to understand.

If a country is cutting the legs off its leader he cannot be fully effective while his people are cutting their own throats, mine and yours are included.

President Trump is therefore undermined when a significant portion of his country are cheering for his harassment as loudly as they can.  These people are traitors and fools.  This affects myself and yourself and everyone else.  Whether one agrees with the President or not the Pres. is correct in the trade contest with China.  Europe- England, France, Germany etc. are wrong.

But, as the Pres. is being diminished by traitors his ability to be the preeminent leader of the G7 is being sabotaged.  Thus he may be shoved down the table below such useless trash as Macrone and Merkel.  If these countries, any country, in Europe think of themselves as viable they are mistaken.  They are already dependents of China.  Their only hope is to unite with the US or Russia, both preferably, to maintain any semblance of independence or sovereignty at all.

The Pres. needs maximum support at home for maximum performance at the G7.  For those who understand, shout louder than the detractors. Give the impression that the traitors are insignificant.  Have open contempt for them.

Be indignant of these European losers trying to lessen the Pres. preeminence as in Macrone’s unilateral invitation to the Iranian representative to attend and his snubbing of the Pres.  These proceedings are not jokes.  Our future is being determined by them.  Everything we have sacrificed for Europe over the last more than a century now is forgotten by our European ‘friends.’ 

Liberals stand down.

China's Agricultural Dream


 

China’s Agricultural Dream

by

R.E. Prindle

 

I have read where some people condemn Pres. Trump’s Chinese tariffs because China ‘retaliated’ by placing a 50% tariff on sorghum causing a few ships bearing a sorghum cargo to return to port.  This was supposed to be disastrous for American farmers. 

In the 5/7/18 issue of the Wall Street Journal there appears this article:  Syngenta Pushes Plant Research in China.  It is of some interest.  I quote the first four paragraphs:
China is seeking a lead in editing plant genes, potentially shifting the epicenter of the emerging agricultural technology toward the East.

Syngenta AG, the seed and chemical giant now owned by state-owned China National Chemical Corp., is building up a Beijing hub for developing new gene-editing technologies like Crispr-Cas9, which enable new ways to alter DNA.

The company also intends to piggyback off research being pursued by Chinese universities and access a broader talent pool than rivals like Monsanto Co. and DowDuPont Inc.  compete for in the U.S.

“The government is very supportive of this technology in China,” said Erik Fyrwald, Syngenta’s chief executive, who said the company is investing tens of millions of dollars to develop gene editing.  “It’s just natural for us to build it up there for China, and for the world.”

That is helping to stoke long-running worries among U.S. farmers, academics and companies that the forefront of agricultural science could swing from the U.S. Farm Belt to China, where the government has encouraged the development of large-scale Western-style farming operations to boost domestic food production and rely less on imports.
As you can see China does not have the talent to develop the technology on their own so they bought a European research ‘giant’ to acquire the latest technology and Aryan talent thus starting from a higher level and hopefully build from that.  We’ll see.

It seems clear that China is hoping to become self-sufficient agriculturally as well as industrially.  Thus whatever else happens we can expect them to reduce their agricultural imports from the US.  We can expect them to grow crops for all their needs including sorghum.  It is only a question of how long it will take them to become self-sufficient thus destroying whatever agricultural business is being done with the US.  These sorghum shipments are only the tip of the iceberg.

Free Trade obviously means nothing to China, it only means something to the dunces of the West.  China does not intend to trade, they intend to become self-sufficient and sell only, not part of any world trade organization but being the world trade organization and masters of the world.

Why the US and Europe are so thick that they can’t perceive this is probably the result of four hundred years of Aryan success and an unadmitted feeling of comfortable superiority over the ‘little yellow man.’  At one time this feeling of superiority may have been justified and Kingdom. real but now the race lacks the will to maintain it.  We will watch the world sink into the ancient lethargy of the Middle

WSJ- Wooing China To Drop Tariffs.


A Review:

WSJ-Wooing China To Drop Tariffs

by

R.E. Prindle

 

Today (4/5/17) we learn in the Journal that China places tariffs of double digits on US goods.  President Trump has been cursed for not being a Free Trader and the quaking shaking Libs wobble around in circles at the mention of the word tariff.  But now, according to Bill Lane, of Caterpillar, who wrote the article, the Pres. Is going to entertain Chinese bigwigs at Mar-a-Lago and ‘woo’ them to drop their tariffs.

So, now we belatedly learn what has been concealed, the Chinese have never been Free Traders, just free loaders exploiting the US and Europe.  The story goes further than Bill and the WSJ do as they don’t delve any deeper.  As Niall Ferguson pointed out in an article the Chinese threw up a firewall against US technology companies so that they wouldn’t dominate China while the Chinese studied the internet and stole whatever information they needed to create their own search engine, Baidu, and mimic and master the social media.  That done you and I can now download Baidu but the Chinese are unable to ‘Google it’.  Rah, rah, rah, Free Trade.

So, now that Bill and the WSJ realize they’ve been walking around with something stiff and yellow up their backsides for years they’re beginning to feel the discomfort.  After decades of that they’re going to attempt to solve the problem bass ackwards.  They’re encouraging the Pres. To ‘woo’, understand the word woo, China into dropping its tariffs rather than doing the muscular thing and impose tariffs on the Chinese and kick their asses in line.

Ah, but the Libs say that will wreck the Global Free Trade system, but, there isn’t a Free Trade system as China has amply demonstrated.  So, what did China achieve by imposing double digit tariffs?  They built up their economy quickly and at the expense of a Global Free Trade system.  We in effect paid them to do business with them.

So, what will happen if the US imposes double digit tariffs on Chinese goods?  China will be forced to develop their own internal economy while the US will quickly rebuild its own economy.   Will that mean goods will no longer be cheap?  Why?  As the Libs never tire of saying, robots are doing the work so there won’t be any jobs.

Well, if the Chinese are turning to robots because robots are the cheapest to run even more cheaply than cheap Chinese labor then goods can be made as cheaply here at the same cost that is as in China.  Imagine the transportation costs that will be saved making our domestic goods even cheaper.

Mr. Bill concludes his argument thusly:  Maybe this is the right time for the two leaders to cut a deal to slash Chinese trade barriers.

Chinese trade barriers?  Why weren’t Chinese trade barriers a major topic during the election?  Why are we only hearing of Chinese trade barriers now?  Maybe Chinese trade barriers didn’t and don’t fit the so-called Free Trade system?  Then we have nothing to lose.

Face it Libs:  We’ve been had since that dolt Nixon opened to China.  It is time for China to play by the same rules the Free Traders are playing by to get a little of our own back.

I just hope the Pres. turns aggressive and stops the defensive cowtowing to those East Coast Libs and pays more attention to the people who elected him.  Figure it out Mr. Pres. they would have loved to have burned you at the stake back then and it would gratify them much to see you in flames now.  Stop trying to placate them and kick them into place.
