We should always prosecute actual corruption, because it's subhuman and violates our American way of life.

I don't follow internet fantasies propagated by YouTube paranoids and Donald Trump's buddies who operate 'The National Enquirer' and 'Weekly World News'.

Yes, yes, I've heard a small fraction of this nonsense like the 'fact' Hillary Clinton kept an outer-space alien baby in the White House. Talk to someone who cares about that crap.

The Chinese Decade and its effects on today's world events.

Not many people analyse the world events under the perspective of the end of the Chinese Decade.

The Chinese Decade is 1999-2008. By the time the Financial Crisis of 2008 hit, it the decade was already over.

The Communist party wanted to keep the facade of a China growing forever and have been
  1. Engendering fake GDP growth numbers
  2. Stimulating the economy

During the Chinese Decade, the communist party tried to create clones of China in left-leaning countries like:

Ethiopia, Bolivia, Venezuela, Brazil and Angola.

Riding on the commodities supercylce created by the Chinese Decade, the countries got emboldened

But it didn't work. The end of the commodities supercycle the economies of the planned clones tanked.

On top of that, the decade of economic mismanagement, started showing post-financial crisis of 2008

Next, China pulled back investment -previously going to the planned clones, for the Belt and Road initiative and have been trying to restructuring its economy to depend more on the internal market.

These client states have been suffering and moving on
  • Brazil is hellbent on extirpating the Latin American left supporting Trump on that effort
  • Venezuela is on the floor
  • Bolivia president was booted out after trying to rig an election
  • Angola is on survival mode
  • Ethiopia elected a business-friendly PM


China wants its money back and it is not interested on how these countries fare from now on.

The leftist regimes, who dreamed of becoming China-clones still trying to zombie walk. But the writing is on the wall
