this chinese newman has quite accurately described the empire in this article featured here;

Have relations between the United States and China finally reached the point of no return?  At this moment, it would be difficult to overstate how angry the Chinese are with the United States.  Chinese officials are firmly blaming the United States for the enormous political protests that we have witnessed in Hong Kong in recent weeks, and on Thursday President Trump slapped another round of tariffs on Chinese imports.  Sadly, most Americans aren’t even paying much attention to these developments, but over in China everyone is talking about these things.  And of course the truth is that they aren’t just talking – the Chinese are absolutely seething with anger toward the U.S., and they aren’t afraid to express it.

Let me give you a perfect example of what I am talking about.  One of the most highly respected news anchors in China, Kang Hui, actually used an expletive when referring to the United States during a news broadcast earlier this week.  Normally I would never have such language in one of my articles, but this comment made headlines all over the globe, and I think that it is very important for all of us to understand what the Chinese are saying about us.  So since this is a news item of critical importance, I have decided not to censor this quote at all.  The following comes from the New York Times…

“They stir up more troubles and crave the whole world to be in chaos, acting like a shit-stirring stick,” Mr. Kang said on the usually stolid 7 p.m. national news program on CCTV, China’s state broadcaster. The expletive quickly became one of the most-searched-for phrases on Chinese social media.............http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com/archives/china-is-extremely-angry-and-they-now-consider-the-united-states-to-be-enemy-1

the democrats are committing suicide and kunstler details it well enough that you will have no doubts, unless of course you're a racist, whatever that means these days;

After two double rounds of Democratic Party debates, one thing is for sure: the characters onstage are followers, not leaders, and they’re following each other off a cliff like so many Wile E. Coyotes, while the Golden Golem of Greatness streaks, beeps, and tweets across the buzzard flats below like the fabled Roadrunner.

In an epic and bizarre case of mimesis, the Democratic Party is mau-mauing itself into America’s political slum, complete with a rank-and-file demographic dependent on government largesse and an infestation of bad ideas, like the scurrying rats and cockroaches of the ghettos they pander to so relentlessly. The candidates themselves are so terrified of being a few syllables away from getting branded with the scarlet “R” on their foreheads — according to the rules of Wokesterism — that they blindly submit to any idiotic Simon Says command, such as raising their hands in support of free medical services for illegal immigrants, to signal their racial uprightness and sensitivity.

How are the actual city ghettos and their denizens doing after half a century of Democratic Party rescue operations? Not so well, the Golden Golem averred last week about Baltimore, igniting a firestorm of grievance and objurgation from the political ghetto. Isn’t the point exactly that the people, and the place where they live, are not doing any better despite decades of federal programs, household assistance, affirmative action, and every other attempt to (theoretically) improve their existence? And isn’t the heart of the matter the desperate shame and chagrin of Democrats that none of this has worked?...........https://kunstler.com/clusterfuck-nation/race-hustle/

corruption is found in lots of places you might not expect;


It is becoming increasingly evident from recent investigations by the likes of “Bellingcat” and from leaked witness statements by U.S. corporate executives, that a network of interlocking billionaire-owned “shell companies” has been taking a cut of at least five percent every year on most US military technology and equipment export sales to Saudi Arabia and other countries in the Middle East. The take could be on the order of $4 billion, a loss to buyers, sellers and US taxpayers. These anonymous “shell” companies do not report to anyone or government their ownership, investors, partners, sources of funds, taxable income, or where the money goes. One thing is sure: A Saudi named Adnan Khashoggi was among the network founders. There is also (as yet unproven) evidence that the Trump and Kushner enterprises may be among the anonymous “investors.” ( Frankly, I have long suspected this, as reflected in my 2018 article below.) .............http://badattitudes.com/MT/archives/2019/08/a_tale_of_two_k.html#009139

it seems there's a lot of things going on under the 'radar' which will be coming to bring us unexpected situations 'our' schools have taught us don't exist anymore;

California is rapidly rising to the top of medieval scale squalor and potential of disease outbreak due in part to cuts in city services, such as trash collection, in Los Angeles, San Francisco and San Diego.

The problem is further exacerbated by burgeoning numbers of encampments of unsheltered and homeless mentally ill people living on the streets and in absolute squalor. While estimates on the numbers of unsheltered residents vary widely, even the most conservative figures indicate that there are approximately 600,000 homeless adults (meaning those not living in shelters or temporary housing) in the United States, and more than half of them live in California.........https://www.winterwatch.net/2019/08/rat-infested-californias-squalor-and-disease-outbreaks/
