A thought. After watching a lot of Trump the last few days, it’s become somewhat obvious he doesn’t understand how tariffs work, including the fundamental principle that any payment of tariffs occurs at the import barriers by the importer.

It seems he thinks they’re paid by the manufacturer.

Obviously the cost of “tarrifing” is achievable only by each level of the product distribution applying that cost.

There’s also this declaration of cartels as terrorist organisation’s. It doesn’t mean much as the idea of conducting kinetic operations in Mexico without them being viewed as the tip of the spear, will cause a blowback effect of cartel members in the USA conducting coordinated attacks.

I guess you could always just pump hellfire missiles into “threats” as they head to the airport.

Alex Krainer describes how financiers benefit from war. They lend money to all sides and use the debt to loot their economies with usury. They have accumulated enormous wealth as a result of five hundred years of colonial looting. They form a small transnational ruling class, sometimes known as the Epstein class, whose members have loyalty only to their class, not to any country. This ruling class created Israel as a colony to serve its interests in controlling the countries of West Asia and their resources. It does so by fomenting wars all over its region. The "Jewish homeland" was just a con to get Jews to be colonists. Not many Jews would ever have fallen for this wonderful invitation to leave their comfortable homes and go to some desert halfway around the world to dig dirt and fight Arabs, but conditions at the end of WW2 caused many of them to buy this idea. Of course, it was not presented that way. It was presented as a wonderful opportunity to found a Jewish republic. It was a ...

HUNDREDS of city, district and county councils are due to be submerged into

This means even less democracy, less representation, and more worldwide
policies enacted in lockstep.
When the government makes announcements on its Local Government
Reogranisation (LGR) on the last day of parliament business before MPs do
no work for six weeks so it cannot be scrutinised, and the government also
cancels opposition debates on its policy and agenda, then your eyebrows should naturally and suspiciously be raised.
LGR involves decisions about what does and doesn’t get built in your area, what gets sold off (including local historic buildings and businesses) and which facilities and services – such as care services, parks, community centres, school crossing patrols and bin collections – stay.
As more decisions are made favouring the corporate behemoth that now controls almost everything on ...

A quick commentary on the "Piss Summit"
I might not be able to upload much more or do lives for a while

My Fellow Duranianss.

Yes, it's happened again. I have been assaulted by a vicious Malware Bot Virus or whatever 911 Socks is and this thing is bad ! 

However I wanted to give you a "peace" of my mind concerning the "Piece" or piss, as Elensky calls it, as this thing fell to pieces before it even happened.

Coincidentally on the very SAME DAY  this crap happened Saudi Arabia DROPPED the US Petrodollar as a buying currency and NO ONE absolutely NO ONE is talking about this fact anywhere !!!

 

Hope to see you all asap.
