It’s All Good Down Here

Leave a comment

President Trump issued a simple tweet stating that he has asked the Secretary of State to look into the allegations of land seizures and genocide in South Africa. “I have asked Secretary of State Pompeo to closely study the South Africa land and farm seizures and expropriations and the large scale killing of farmers,“.

As expected the mainstream “fake” news media blew up in indignation. “Racist“, “White supremecist“, “Alt right“, “Ignorant“, and the litany of hysterical comments goes on.  They scoffed at President Trump.  Of course he’s wrong.  Former President Obama just a few months ago was in South Africa praising the people and government on the great things that they are doing in their country.

“So, young people, who are in the audience, who are listening, my message to you is simple, keep believing, keep marching, keep building, keep raising your voice. Every generation has the opportunity to remake the world. Mandela said, “Young people are capable, when aroused, of bringing down the towers of oppression and raising the banners of freedom.” Now is a good time to be aroused. Now is a good time to be fired up”, President Obama.

I saw this headline on Yahoo news, “S.African farmers ‘furious’ over Trump land reform tweet“. Could President Trump be wrong about the farmland situation in South Africa?

Reading the story beyond the headline shows that the “furious farmers” interviewed are interestingly all black farmers. They are NOT the farmers whose land might be seized without compensation. It’s the white farmers referred to as Boers who will lose their land and possibly their lives. Do you think the that the “furious farmers” might have a bit of a bias in this issue because they will be the beneficiaries of land seizures?

To be crystal clear this is a racial issue. The South African government is seeking to change their constitution to allow for these uncompensated land seizures. They want this change to speed up their “land reform” plans of taking away white owned farmland and giving it to black South Africans. The government’s underlying philosophy for taking on “land reform” is that they openly state that whites make up only 8% of the population but that they own 72% of the farms, and this disparity is unacceptable.  Uncompensated land seizures, by force if necessary, are justified in their world view.

Neighboring country Zimbabwe a few years ago seized white owned farmland with similar racial equity goals fueling the seizures. What was the result? Were the residents happy with the their new ill gotten gains? Zimbabwe had a growing economy up until they decided on “land reform“. After 2000 when all of the white farmland had been seized and redistributed Zimbabwe slid into financial ruin. The new black farm owners were described as “inept or uninterested” in farming and made some short term gains by selling the farm equipment. In 2008 Zimbabwe had it’s peak period of inflation. That year the country had a mere 231,000,000% inflation rate.  231 MILLION PERCENT!  Currently Zimbabwe has 95% unemployment and is one of the poorest countries in the world. I’d call that a success.

As the saying goes, “History is a great predictor”.  A good time indeed to be fired up.

Bad Asians

Leave a comment

The typical stereotype when someone says “Asian” is smart, quiet, hardworking, and introverted. I was surprised to hear that in the United Kingdom there are roving ASIAN RAPE GANGS as reported by the press across the pond. They prey on young girls, mostly aged between 12 and 17. They are described as “grooming” gangs who befriend and then rape and sexually abuse the girls to “groom” them for the child sex trafficking business. Very heinous.

Here’s ONE F’ed up part. Take a look at some of the perps involved in these “Asian gangs“.

Do they look like your typical Chinese, Japanese, Vietnamese, or Korean math geniuses?

These “Asian” gang members are Pakistani, Bangladeshi, Indian, Iranian, Iraqi, Kurdish, Turkish, Albanian and Eastern European.

What do they have in common? They are almost ALL MUSLIMS.
The UK press and the leadership DO NOT want to call them MUSLIM RAPE GANG members because they don’t want to offend a protected class. Hence they are Asian rape gang members because most of them are from Pakistan.

Here’s ANOTHER F’ed up part. Anyone ever heard of Tommy Robinson?

Tommy Robinson was imprisoned because he was reporting on the TRIAL and CONVICTION of these Muslim rape gang members. He had the audacity to call them Muslim rape gang members. Mr. Robinson was at first arrested, tried, and released on probation for his reporting. He was ordered by the court to stop reporting on “Muslim” gangs.  He “violated” his probation by standing on a public sidewalk outside the courtroom as he live streamed the perps entering the building. Here’s an example of the efficiency of the UK legal system when they have it in for someone. Robinson was ARRESTED for the probation violation, TRIED for contempt of court, CONVICTED, SENTENCED, and IMPRISONED in LESS THAN FIVE HOURS! Talk about a speedy trial.

And here’s a THIRD F’ed up part. Robinson was assigned to a prison with a large Muslim population. UK officials had no concern for his safety after his conviction for “violating the rules of free speech”.  He was beaten while in prison.  Feces were constantly thrown into his cell by passing inmates.

And here’s a FOURTH F’ed up part. The UK press was requested NOT to cover the Tommy Robinson case and the press COMPLIED. If it wasn’t for local activists and international commentators, the story would have had no coverage in the UK or anywhere else in the world.  The mainstream media here in the US did not cover this story either.

Anyone else wonder where things are headed?

It’s Just A Phone Call

Leave a comment

By now, almost everyone has forgotten one of the very first “breaches of long standing protocol” that was violated by President Trump.  What was that “breach of protocol”?  He took a phone call on Dec. 2, 2016.

Who was on the other end of the call?  It was President Tsai Ing-wen, the president of Taiwan (also known as the Republic of China) who called President Trump to congratulate him on his election victory.  The phone call lasted about 10 minutes.

Former US State Department officials and the news media were aghast that President Trump spoke to President Tsai.  This was against the long standing TRADITION of NOT speaking to a Taiwanese president.  No US President has spoken to a Taiwanese President in over 40 years.

For some background, Taiwan is a multi-party democracy with an elected president and 5 equal branches of government.  Under President Obama the US transferred about $14 BILLION in arms through Foreign Military Sales (FMS) to Taiwan.  In less than 1 year, President Trump has authorized $1.4 BILLION in FMS arms.

What’s the big deal about taking a phone call from another democratically elected president?  It goes against the “One China Policy“.  The People’s Republic of China (PRC) which is mainland China, does not recognize the ROC, that is Taiwan as an independent country.  The communist PRC considers the Taiwan as a part of China and under their rule.  The communist PRC requires ALL COUNTRIES who wish to have a diplomatic RELATIONSHIP the PRC, must have NO DIPLOMATIC relationship with TAIWAN.  Because of the “One China” policy the United States does not have an embassy in TAIWAN.  We have a “Trade Headquarters” that for all practical purposes functions as an embassy, but is not formally called one.  Right now there is a touchy situation as President Trump has ordered United States Marines to provide protection to our headquarters in Taiwan.  This sort of protection is normally only provided to embassies.  The PRC’s shorts are up in a bunch over this plan.

Given all the weird background of our relationship with TAIWAN, why should the United States give a crap about this pipsqueak island?

Here’s what I’ve been warning people about for YEARS!

There is one company, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Corporation (TSMC) that makes most of internal electronics used in practically all electronic devices.  Parts made at TSMC are used in almost every cellphone, computer, television, aircraft, ship, car, train, military systems, the electrical grid, banking system, you name it.  TSMC is right now spending $17 BILLION US to build the next generation fabrication plant (TSMC-18) that will by 2020 make the fastest, smallest, and lowest power electronics.  Nowhere else in the world will this capability exist for large scale production of these new parts.  And here’s the scary part.

TSMC make more than 55% of all semiconductors!  The remaining 44% of capacity is split among a dozen other plants that only capture single digits percentage of capacity.  Many of these smaller fabrication plants are in the PRC or in their close ally Singapore.

IF CHINA WERE TO FORMALLY CONTROL TAIWAIN, the communist PRC would control ALL SEMICONDUCTOR MANUFACTURING IN THE WORLD.

Think about that for a monment.

Communist China would be able to control access to and the prices of ALL ELECTRONICS in the WORLD!

Do you think that would be a good thing?

Additionally, if we were ever to have a conflict with Communist China or one of their allies, we would NOT be able to manufacture any high tech weapon systems.

  • No more fighter jets.
  • No more stealth bombers
  • No more smart bombs.
  • No more tanks.
  • No more missiles.
  • No more missile defense.
  • No more cruise missiles.
  • No more communications.
  • No more Radars
  • No more satellites.
  • No more surveillance drones.

The best we could muster would be small arms or we could be like the Middle East protesters and chuck rocks.

We would not be able to repair any existing military electronics.  We would never be able to create new advanced systems unless the PRC allowed us.

Does that make you feel safer?

Show of hands.  How many of you progressive resisters think that President Trump establishing a good relationship with TAIWAN is bad?  I suspect many hands would go up.  We would just need Former President Obama to make another Nobel winning speech in Egypt to prevent any worry of Communist China domination.
