John, closed societies do not have the open debate and noise we are used to. They want to keep a layer of calm surrounding all the troubles that the governing elites know very well about them. The result is that negative outcomes appear as "surprises" while they were known by the officialdom. In closed societies, risks are kept under wraps to avoid the masses getting aware of them. That disturb the careful laid plans of the elites And we know for a fact that as long as we are alive we are facing risks. Economies are not different. Risks are appearing every time. Now look at a country that makes 5 Year Plans. Five years in today's economies is a very long time. Officialdom needs to keep the chimera that the plan is working despite the sudden changes affecting the economy. They want to make the mass believe that the good times are rolling. Compare China with Japan in 2013: . JAPAN has had seven prime ministers in six years and six finance ministers in three years. Why? because the country stopped growing: Since the collapse of the Japanese debt bubble in 1989-90...GDP averaging around 0.8 per cent a year. Nominal GDP is roughly the same as it was in 1992. The world moved ahead and Japan is stuck where it was 20 years ago. China's elite has it coming

Donald Trump's former lawyer Michael Cohen announced he is postponing his public congressional testimony that was scheduled for February 7, citing "ongoing threats against my family from President Trump and his lawyer Rudolph Giuliani." ! Due to ongoing threats against his family from President Trump and Mr Giuliani, as recently as this weekend, as well as Mr Cohen's continued cooperation with ongoing investigations, by advice of counsel, Mr Cohen's appearance will be postponed to a later date," Cohen's lawyer Lanny Davis said in a statement. On CNN's "State of the Union," host Jake Tapper asked Giuliani how Trump's repeated calls for investigation into Cohen's family members ahead of Cohen's previously scheduled testimony did not amount to intimidating a witness or obstruction of Justice. "We are so distorting the system of justice just to get Donald Trump, it's going to hurt us so much and I'd hate to see something bad happen," Giuliani responded. Giuliani continued his odd comments saying, "I don't know if Trump talked to Cohen or not. It may be attorney-client privilege if it happened, where I can't acknowledge it. But I have no knowledge that he spoke to him, but I'm telling you I wasn't there then." A source close to Cohen told CNBC News that Cohen's wife and father-in-law were particularly afraid about Cohen's upcoming scheduled appearance in Congress, and that they feel directly targeted by Trump. Cohen's wife Laura was afraid of going to the hearing in person because she believed she was at risk of being attacked. "The threats are real," the source says, "Trump knows what he's doing."
