things aren't always what they seem and the china trade eruption is one of those things;
Since the beginning of this year, I have been warning that trade
tariffs initiated by Donald Trump would develop into a full-blown trade
war with China, and perhaps other nations, and that the timing of this
trade war is rather suspicious. Suspicious how? Almost every instance of
further escalation was made by Trump around the exact time that the
Federal Reserve was also making a large cut to its balance sheet or
raising interest rates. Instead of focusing on the fact that extreme
volatility has returned to markets because central banks are pulling the
plug on life support, the mainstream media is holding up the trade war
as the ultimate culprit behind the accelerating crash.
In other words, Trump’s trade war is acting as a perfect distraction
from the crisis which the banking establishment has now deliberately
triggered.
The initial response to my suggestion by a minority of liberty
movement activists and skeptics was outright denial. Some people argued
that the trade war would be over before it even began and that China
would immediately capitulate in fear of losing the U.S. consumer market.
Others argued that the trade war “had been started by the Chinese years
ago” and Trump was simply “fighting back.”
Clearly, the trade war is not fading away as many assumed. As I
predicted, it is only continuing to grow. And the notion that a trade
war is necessary at this time in defense of the U.S. economy ignores
certain realities. For example, the trade deficit itself was never
“theft” by the Chinese, but a BARTER between the Chinese and the U.S.
government and U.S. corporations. In exchange for the Chinese and other
trade partners using the dollar as the world reserve currency (and
petro-currency) and buying up US treasury debt, U.S. elites have
arranged a deficit advantage for China. One could also add China’s cheap
labor and low cost manufactured goods as part of that barter as well.
While the American working class got the short end of the stick in
this deal, the government and the corporate cabal certainly benefited..........http://www.shtfplan.com/headline-news/the-trade-war-distraction-huawei-and-linchpin-theory_12132018
