Welcome back Spots. Those hardcore left/right political threads are no country for "olive men". ;)

hello spotted jack, good seeing you here - a bastion of free-for-all-spirit is kept alive although given the thread protocol as decided by the chief decider there are avoidable buzzing sounds.

the back and forth seems to be either resulting from trump rubbing the wrong way or china heading in whatever direction.

the two topics should soon merge in the course of 2017 / 4715.

(1) re trump, who seems to be solidly underway applying his life-long i-am-the-smartest-richest-and-loudest-you-are-fired protocol to a nation (god best bless the nation and its near-enough neighbours)

am figuring
- he has been a life-long bully, of employees, associates, partners, and counter-parties
- he is loud
- he does not read
- he does not do 9:00-to-5:00 work
- he does not give a [__choose noun__]

therefore i suppose collation of others' noodling may collectively be spot-on

(1-i) greater uncertainty of interim, am biased toward neg outcome

(1-ii) at the center, affecting the periphery

(1-iii) antagonising everyone, as a protocol, is hard to work into positive, even and especially if all supplicate, thus explains the serial bankruptcies post new ventures. it is good that trump was / is ultimately based on real estate, that which is very forgiving, unlike a manufacturing operation. let us see how well the protocol works out domestically and internationally, those which are not real estate based

(1-iv) putin is the leader of the year by obama default. russia is supposedly on economic collapse, is not a super conventional power, yet apparently achieved objectives everywhere, and perhaps even in america

(1-v) trump’s making america great and nation building of usa first and not rest of the world would mean that indeed domestic usa should be beneficiary of policy; watch and brief to see how bullied companies do as a result of america being great

(1-vi) trump perhaps doesn’t support american exceptionalism; america no longer intl cop, but ...

(1-vii) trump tweeted and drew a red line: “not going to happen” for n korea to develop icbm to hit continental usa. the folks around trump may feel differently, and would either have to change trump, supplicate, retire self, or get fired. the resultant theatre should be a hoot to watch.

(1-viii) core comrade xi jinping is a understated but strong leader, particularly for this year’s party congress. this is a collision course with trump who has gone off on a) taiwan b) n korea c) hitting china with heavy import taxes.

(1-ix) europe? who knows. will have to find own way, sustain existing platform - socio-political, socio-economic, geo-political, etc - or change tactics, adjust strategy, or make new friends. let us watch and brief on france and germany.

(1-x) japan? just devalue yen and keep going, and deal w/ neighbours as seemingly intent on doing the same old way

(1-xi) there may be a fight between trump and silicon valley on fronts of security, social media and jobs. because silicon valley companies don't typically have big defence contract jobs like a boeing, trump can’t bully these companies around as much and therefore the conflict can be nastier

(1-xii) trump fails because he’s either and/or incompetent, corrupt or authoritarian? in any case he certainly shall probe and test every check&balance that usa has setup. should trump not get his way as he has all of his life, what would he do? we shall find out.


... continued

following on to the issue of trump, that which should merge w/ the subject of china ...

(2) re china


w/i my chosen applicable time horizon, that be 2018-2026-2032-+beyond per what i use as convenient watch & brief shorthand markers, that be teotwawki, darkest interregnum, and new world beyond i keep watch & brief

i am of course just broad-brush guessing. what i choose to do is easy as i do no seek to maker people into believers. mr martin armstrong makes his effort seem effortless, and seems very good at it. coincidentally my 2018 - 2026 ties in well w/ armstrong's 2032 watch & brief. certainly convenient.

(2-i) china is on same journey as mapped out however long ago.

for people not interested in history, since core comrade jinping's ascension; and
for the more discerning, before that.

(2-ii) tracking well to story script and closing gaps mathematically

numbers tell part of the story, rolling out geographically and moving up the chain.

(2-iii) should soon and w/i time horizon of this thread be the absolute largest economy in both actual tonnage, eyeballs, clicks, pixels, as well as in terms of any fiat currency and generally trending towards doubling / tripling of % of current proportion of planetary gdp whatever that may mean by explication / implication

(2-iv) all sorts of imperatives continue to drive all manner of solutions, all of which we can generally term progress, whatever the false trails

(2-v) china shall export more, stuff, infrastructure, services, capital, ideas and people, and should even include energy, and anything else china needs domestically, simply because as a continental-sized needful economy, must be able to supply much from within, and at the margin, export deliberate or coincidental excess, but given size, would seem to be deliberately exporting, a different protocol than existing 1982 - 2002

china should be importing more as well, much more, as a matter of course

(2-vi) to simplistically chart china story on basis of export is ... just funny

(2-vii) whatever else nay-saying could be said and invariably was said every step of the way, but so what?

am unsure why china generates so much emotion.



in any case, very good journey.

cheers, tj

p.s. the coconut at age 12 just got formal invitation from direct and philanthropic descendant of german music legacy of the romantic period to exhibit her art at name-brand music festival this summer,
... As of ‘’our’’ painter ... By her talent and personality she has deserved greatly to be invited to ... At the age when kids app and face book and hang to their cell phone as if it would be the book of the books she paints and dances so well. She- above all- is the hope of future ... There are not many kids like her. And our role is also in the future building ...
... and so our usual canada ballet school summer sojourn either must be inconveniently interrupted in the middle by a jaunt to n.europe, or likely i must let the coconut go w/o me in toll. in any case, growing up fast

yesterday



today



she apparently cares for critters of all sorts, prickly or otherwise furry
