Anal testing for Covid!

 
    A virus with a 95% plus survival rate requires mass testing via nasal swabs that jam one's brain. Now, China has found a much more accurate way to test for Covid

China is enforcing strict new measures, including anal swab testing, as COVID-19 cases surge ahead of Lunar New Year, a time of high travel for the country.

Groups deemed necessary for "close monitoring", including international arrivals, are being subjected to four tests — a nasal swab, a throat swab, a blood test and an anal swab.

"Applying extra anal swabs can improve the detection rate of infection and reduce missed diagnosis," Li Tongzeng, associate director of respiratory and infectious diseases at Beijing's You'an Hospital, told state broadcaster Central Chinese Television (CCTV).

Douyacai, a student returning from South Korea, had her anal swab in Beijing on her 14th day of quarantine. 

She wrote that the test was carried out by medical personnel with two swabs.

She wrote on her blog that the test was administered on her 12th day of quarantine in addition to an oral swab and she encouraged others to cooperate with medical staff. 

"I'm not quite sure what they're trying to achieve here with all the anal swabs," Dr Sanjaya Senanayake, an infectious diseases expert at the Australian National University, told the ABC.

China & Iran

         Before Trump left office, former Sec. of State Mike Pompeo made an announcement stating Iran is the new home to Al Qaeda. This comes at a time when America is putting war back on the table. Biden did say he would be a president for everyone, which actually means the entire establishment. Therefore, new wars will start for the sake of unity. 

    However, a war with Iran would further weaken America and that might be the plan to expose America as a falling empire. A key partnership Iran has is with China. They have a 25-year agreement that helps Iran economically in exchange China gets oil:

The Middle East is consistently important to China because of its massive demand for oil from the Middle East to support China’s manufacturing industries, but the region has never been in the core interests of the Chinese foreign policy. During the Maoist era, China’s regional interests were driven by a strong ideological stance aiming to confront “U.S. Imperialism and its regional proxies.” During this period, China would affirmatively side with Nasser’s Egypt and Arafat’s Palestine while almost entirely refusing to deal with U.S. regional allies such as Israel. But after China’s economic reforms, its foreign policy has become less ideological, moving from “supporting justice in the Third World” to “becoming every regional actor’s friend.” The core strategy of China in the Middle East is to emphasize economic cooperation while avoiding political alliances and to maintain a balanced relationship with all actors in the region while avoiding picking sides in regional conflicts. 

    America's new administration has halted the keystone pipeline, and that increases dependency on foreign nations for oil, specifically the middle east. With China taking a different approach to power via their belt road initiative, countries in the middle east will choose the Chinese over western powers. This is already being shown in Iran:

For the last few years, China has been the largest importer of oil, and it depends more on the Middle East for it. It views Iran as both a critical supplier of energy resources and a participant in its global infrastructure project. China considers freedom of navigation in the Persian Gulf as critical to protection of its interests. But in 2020, Beijing purchased just three million tons of Iranian oil, down more than 70 percent from 2019.

The new administration offers hope that, with the return to a nuclear deal and the easing of sanctions, oil will begin to flow vigorously once more. But barring systemic reform that will bolster business confidence, Iran is still reliant on Chinese economic relations. The draft of an ambitious deal with China that envisions $400 billion worth of projects leaked over the summer, a signal that Beijing intends to play a greater role in the region. This has coincided with other prominent leaders in the Middle East and Africa turning to China for grand infrastructure investments.

China controls 75 percent of the oil industry in Sudan, will start running the Port of Haifa in Israel, and even invested in the shiny Cairo central business district in Egypt. But these building blocks of influence, while yielding economic leverage, have not yet translated into any substantial political clout. The ties will nonetheless infuse much needed investment for infrastructure, cybersecurity, intelligence, and the financial sector, along with military support in return for discounted oil and gas.

... What is likewise significant about this partnership is that China and Iran have broader ambitions as foes of the United States. While China now challenges the United States in Asia, the Middle East and certainly Iran could become the new battlefield for a confrontation between the two powers. China providing scarce resources to Tehran can only bolster the theocratic and kleptocratic regime burdened by sanctions.

    China is looking to build an espionage hub in Iran to spy on its citizens, but this will probably serve as an espionage hub to use against America too. China already has front companies in Iran:

U.S. law enforcement in September accused hackers based in Iran and China of conducting global espionage operations while appearing to exist as otherwise innocuous technology firms. While the public nature of the charges are proof the efforts weren’t entirely successful, the tactic marks an evolution of the use of dummy corporations since a group of financial scammers stole a reported $1 billion by posing as a cybersecurity testing firm.

...Intelligence analysts contend the Chinese government began outsourcing cyber-espionage work to nondescript companies after a 2014 agreement in which the U.S. and China agreed to not sponsor any malicious cyber activity for economic gain.

    From my perceptive, China will help Iran in war with USA. Iran will win giving China complete control over the middle east. However, this control will not be what we are used to it. It will be soft power. 

China's New Law

     This past week China passed a law allowing their coastguard to attack foreign ships that are in their waters:

China has risked stoking tensions with its neighbours after it passed a law that for the first time explicitly allows its coastguards to fire on foreign vessels and demolish structures built in disputed waters.

The coastguard law, passed on Friday by China’s top legislative body, the National People’s Congress Standing Committee, came two years after China’s military assumed control of the previously civilian maritime body in 2018.

The law empowers the coastguard to use “all necessary means” to deter threats posed by foreign vessels in waters “under China’s jurisdiction”. It will also allow the coastguards to launch pre-emptive strikes without prior warning if commanders deem it necessary.

It is unclear whether the law will be applied to all waters claimed by Beijing, which has a number of competing claims with its neighbours in the East and South China Seas

    This move could be a power play to coerce nations nearby to give up the disputed waters in exchange for protection. After all, America is falling from grace and China is on the rise. Despite this America just sent the U.S.S Theodore Roosevelt to the South China sea:

The strategic South China Sea, through which trillions of dollars in trade flows each year, has long been a focus of contention between Beijing and Washington, with China particularly angered by U.S. military activity there.

The U.S. carrier group led by the USS Theodore Roosevelt and accompanied by three warships, entered the waterway on Saturday to promote “freedom of the seas”, the U.S. military said, just days after Joe Biden became U.S. president..

“The United States frequently sends aircraft and vessels into the South China Sea to flex its muscles,” the foreign ministry spokesman, Zhao Lijian, told reporters, responding to the U.S. mission.

    Now, this isn't the first time we have seen America flex its muscles in the South China Sea. Trump's administration did this a time or two. What is different this time, is China's new law.  However, I don't see a direct war with China on the horizon. China is currently in a military standoff with India over a border dispute, and America is gearing up for more war in the middle east. I think America's recent actions in the South China Sea have a new meaning: Show strength temporaily then gradually allow China to replace our presences in Asia.

China Taking Over Taiwan?

     Zion Don picked small hat overloads. Bejing Biden, well, he might as well just admit that America is the United States of China. Contrary to popular news this is not a new thing. China has been in America for years. People haven't noticed it because they love cheap shit. Anyway, during this administration, one major thing we will see happen is the dissolving of Taiwan as a nation-state. 

    America has made deals with Taiwan in spite of China's demands not to. Now, days into Biden's presidency and China appears to be starting their take over of Taiwan

    Eight mainland Chinese bomber planes and four fighter jets entered the southwestern corner of Taiwan’s air defence identification zone on Saturday, and Taiwan’s air force deployed missiles to “monitor” the incursion, the island’s defence ministry said.

Beijing, which claims Taiwan as its own territory, 
has conducted almost daily flights
 over the waters between the southern part of Taiwan and the Taiwan-controlled Pratas Islands in the South China Sea in recent months.

However they have generally consisted of just one or two reconnaissance aircraft.

The presence of so many mainland Chinese combat aircraft on this mission – Taiwan said it was made up of eight nuclear-capable H-6K bombers and four J-16 fighter jets – is unusual

A map provided by Taiwan’s defence ministry showed that the PLA aircraft, which also included a Y-8 anti-submarine aircraft, flew over the same waters where the most recent missions have been taking place near the Pratas Islands, though still well away from mainland Taiwan.

Taiwan’s air force warned away the aircraft and deployed missiles to monitor them, the ministry added, using standard wording for how it responds to such activities.

“Airborne alert sorties had been tasked, radio warnings issued and air defence missile systems deployed to monitor the activity,” it said in a brief statement.

Bye Bye Small Hats!

     Just like the sun rises in the east at the dawn of a new day, China, too, is rising at the dawn of a new age. Even the most casual observer is starting to notice China's economic growth. They were the only major country to experience economic growth during Covud lockdowns:

BEIJING—China’s economy expanded by 2.3% in 2020, roaring back from a historic contraction in the early months of the year to become the only major world economy to grow in what was a pandemic-ravaged year.

    Their soft power became apparent when the NBA bent the knee to China's demands. The NBA didn't want to lose access to the largest middle class. Now, Hollywood is going through something similar:

As Fenton and others have shown, Hollywood is generally terrified of offending Beijing, for a few key reasons. First the market is increasingly lucrative, meaning there is a lot to be gained by getting your films into China. At the same time, however, the CCP is deeply sensitive, so it’s very easy for studios and actors to get on their bad side, which can result in total blacklisting and the consequential loss of profits. It’s also very easy to violate the CCP’s content standards, which can cut a film off from a huge chunk of profits at the Chinese box office.

    What is often overlooked, is that China has been here longer than a couple of years. This started decades ago. Free trade propaganda presents the illusion that to make cheaper goods we have to ship production overseas, so China capitalized on American's greed. But, with the economic collapse coming to America the wealthy are trying to jump ship. This group is made of people that wear very small hats and claim to be chosen by God.

    China knows their tricks and wants nothing to do with them. So, say bye-bye to the small hats and hello Chinamen.

Is Globalism Dying?

The United Nations Security Council has taken months to plan a meeting to address COVID-19. Six years ago during the Ebola scare, the council deemed the disease was a threat to world peace and security at the behest of Obama. However,  the threat to security Ebola possessed pales in comparison to what is taking place to prevent the spread of COVID-19. I don't recall drones yelling at people to break up large gatherings or individuals being imprisoned and or fined for leaving their homes. If there ever was a time for a one-world government to form, one would think it is now.

 Despite China's received criticism for lying about COVID-19, they became president of the Security Council in March. Unlike, the Obama administration in 2014 no meeting was called to have a global collaboration to mitigate the spread of the virus. Neither did Trump, but rather 9 out of 15 members, who are significantly smaller than China, USA, and or Russia, did. It appears that the superpowers want to preserve their national sovereignty.

The EU's relevance is also in jeopardy. Videos on Twitter and Youtube have percolated showing that their citizenry no longer wants to be apart of the globalist cabal. Here's an article containing videos of Italians during the EU flag: aftruth.com. It looks like this disease can bring some good after all. Hope is always present. Globalism is dying while nationalism is rising.

Chinese Expansion

The west is falling, and its demise presents an opportunity for China to seize the moment. While we are struggling to reboot our economy and fight COVID-19, China has remained focused on becoming the new global leader. Right-wing media may lead one to believe this is horrible news being that China is a communist country. However, I think it will be better than having the US at the helm.

I love my nation. Growing up in America has provided me with a myriad of opportunities, that I may not have had otherwise. With social media connecting nearly the entire world, it has become clear that America isn't the force of good. Our government topples regimes; then implements shadow governments controlled by the CIA. Hence why we are over in the middle east. Since our inception, we have had individuals like Henry Clay, founder of the War Hawks of Congress, who dreamt of taking over Canada. Global control has been our MO for far too long with little to no regard for human life. One of the most beloved families in American history, the Roosevelts, made a large portion of their wealth by force-feeding China opium.  I understand that physical conquest is deeply ingrained in humanity, but overextending one's empire ensures its collapse. Also, leadership requires difficult decisions. But our global leadership doesn't benefit anyone other than the elites.

China, on the other hand, has been playing the long game, and Xi Jinping is not your typical leader. He is extremely nationalistic. Their Belt Road Initiative is an opportunity to tilt the scales in their favor, which may be better than America running the world. They have also slowly positioned themself to lead 26% of UN agencies. That number is bound to grow. Why would it better for China to take over that leadership position? They will not use physical coercion to force nations to submit, and their media is much more liberal than ours. As for their trust, well, you shouldn't trust any government completely. They all lie!

By no means do I think America cannot rebound, I have faith that we will. I believe we will have to make new allies and adjust our way of governance. To me, that looks like focusing on our people. Trump has done a decent job at that. The USA mustn't be number one to put its citizenry first. This paradigm shift is hitting all facets of our life from societal behavior to international politics. Focus on what you can control and position yourself to benefit from it,

Trump The New Fed Chairman

Nationalization of US finance markets are becoming a reality. Also, the potential for the US to create a digital dollar has become a topic of discussion at the highest levels. Change is coming; post covid-19 America will operate significantly different than the one we presently know.

President Trump has felt that the stock market should have been much higher than it was by at least 10,000 points, and the fed was to blame. However, with this plan to nationalize parts of the financial market Trump essentially usurps Chairman Powell. Could this mean that we plan portions of our economy mimicking the Chinese economic system? After all, Neoliberalism has proven to be more destructive than helpful. It’s time for us to stop acting like a maid for the world and rather focus on getting our house in order. The age of America First is here to stay (hopefully).

The New Safe Haven

For the past few years, China has been embracing the new world of finance. After all, they have been attempting to improve the infrastructure of the world. By now, everyone knows about Bitcoin and some know about Blockchain.Many countries have begun to adopt this new technology. America, however, has been slow to act when it comes to the crypto scene, but that may be changing.  The leader of tomorrow nyst work to adjust and improve their financial foundation. Ladies and gentlemen the war of this generation will be fought digitally resulting in a paradigm shift.

As of March 26th Brian Brooks, a former Fannie Mae executive and former CLO of Coinbase, has accepted the position of COO at the U.S Office of the Comptroller of Currency. This is a clear indication that the US is preparing their entrance into the world of digital currency. My guess is that Coinbase will gain access to the US market with their new Visa card based on current trends.

Timing is everything, and China appears to be positioning itself to jump in at the right time. Two days before Brooks accepted the position, China grew closer to their goal of releasing the digital Yuan.  Many "private" companies in China have completed the groundwork for a digital currency. This is the new Cold War.

The currency of tomorrow will likely be hybrid: digital coupled with physical; i.e.  a form of cryptocurrency backed by physical gold and silver. Despite our delayed start we still have time.
