Obama Slammed During Trip To China After Human Rights Lecture And Forced To 'Go Out The A*s' Of Air Force One Without Traditional Red Carpet

No Red Carpet Treatment For Obama


When the Chinese saw Air Force One pulling up on the runway they said roll up the mat! It's a wonder they gave him any stairs.

Once again it continues regarding "How The World Fell Out Of Love With Obama." U.S. President Barack Obama went to China last week for G20 talks and it did not go well. The Guardian newspaper in London is reporting President Obama was not given a red carpet reception in China, while his global counterparts were, such as British PM Theresa May. China, exasperated by Obama's antagonistic behavior regarding trade, the military and the South China Sea, knows his time in office is almost up and are focusing on new world leaders such as May to forge relationship with in the world. China, a nation that has invested over $1 trillion dollars in America, is also paying close attention to the current presidential election between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton, in reference to future diplomatic talks.

Last week Obama hypocritically lectured the Chinese on human rights (never mind he has wars running in the Middle East, which constitute human rights abuses). Obama took particular issue with what he deems a lack of  free speech in the Chinese press. Obama’s speech was downright hypocritical and comical to journalists and bloggers in America, who are routinely harassed, threatened and hit with unlawful and underhanded financial punishments from the IRS and Google Ads on his orders, for daring to criticize the policies of His Royal Excellency Supreme Overlord Ruler, Barack Obama.
British prime minister Theresa May and chancellor Philip Hammond received the full red carpet welcome in China last week

Obama unlawfully extended his abuses into Britain, engaging the FBI and CIA to illegally terrorize British journalists and their families, for exposing his criminal behavior in the press. Obama then proceeded to threaten the British people about the Brexit vote, which caused the populace to do the exact opposite of what the erstwhile visiting dictator demanded. 

There has never been a U.S. president who so opposed free speech and free press, as Barack Obama. He is a narcissistic megalomaniac who pays more attention to his press clippings than the skyrocketing national deficit. Just ask journalist Sharyl Attkisson. Her story is just the tip of the iceberg on how far Obama is willing to go to destroy the finances and rights of those who peacefully and lawfully criticize his political policies on television, online and in the newspapers.

Barack Obama 'deliberately snubbed' by Chinese in chaotic arrival at G20
 
Sunday 4 September 2016 03.27 EDT - The US president was denied the usual red carpet welcome and forced to ‘go out of the a*s’ of Air Force One, observers say. Barack Obama forced to exit from ‘a*s’ of Air Force One China’s leaders have been accused of delivering a calculated diplomatic snub to Barack Obama after the US president was not provided with a staircase to leave his plane during his chaotic arrival in Hangzhou before the start of the G20. 

Chinese authorities have rolled out the red carpet for leaders including India’s prime minister, Narendra Modi, the Russian president, Vladimir Putin, the South Korean president, Park Geun-hye, Brazil’s president, Michel Temer, and the British prime minister, Theresa May, who touched down on Sunday morning. But the leader of the world’s largest economy, who is on his final tour of Asia, was forced to disembark from Air Force One through a little-used exit in the plane’s belly after no rolling staircase was provided when he landed in the eastern Chinese city on Saturday afternoon. 

When Obama did find his way on to a red carpet on the tarmac below there were heated altercations between US and Chinese officials, with one Chinese official caught on video shouting: “This is our country! This is our airport!” “The reception that President Obama and his staff got when they arrived here Saturday afternoon was bruising, even by Chinese standards,” the New York Times reported. 

Jorge Guajardo, Mexico’s former ambassador to China, said he was convinced Obama’s treatment was part of a calculated snub. “These things do not happen by mistake. Not with the Chinese,” Guajardo, who hosted presidents Enrique Peña Nieto and Felipe Calderón during his time in Beijing, told the Guardian. 

“I’ve dealt with the Chinese for six years. I’ve done these visits. I took Xi Jinping to Mexico. I received two Mexican presidents in China. I know exactly how these things get worked out. It’s down to the last detail in everything. It’s not a mistake. It’s not.” Guajardo added: “It’s a snub. It’s a way of saying: ‘You know, you’re not that special to us.’ It’s part of the new Chinese arrogance. It’s part of stirring up Chinese nationalism. It’s part of saying: ‘China stands up to the superpower.’ It’s part of saying: ‘And by the way, you’re just someone else to us.’ It works very well with the local audience. 

“Why [did it happen]?” the former diplomat, who was ambassador from 2007 until 2013, added. “I guess it is part of Xi Jinping playing the nationalist card. That’s my guess.” Bill Bishop, a China expert whose Sinocism newsletter tracks the country’s political scene, agreed that Obama’s welcome looked suspiciously like a deliberate slight intended “to make the Americans look diminished and weak”...

Trump And Trade: Donald Trump Lashing Out Against America's Trade Partners In The World


Donald Trump
 
Donald Trump has been railing against China, India, Mexico and the European Union, regarding their trade status with America, even though the aforementioned countries are good nations to do business with in the global marketplace. Trump keeps adding nations to his grievance list. Trump has also been complaining of Americans jobs being shipped abroad for lower wages in foreign nations, which aides U.S. companies in showing greater financial profits and lower costs (stock market). Even 30-years ago, Trump made an appearance on the Oprah Winfrey Show complaining about Japan and Kuwait, stating their trade deals with America are negative.


 
Donald Trump's hair and skin looked normal in this video. Why he's gone orange in the skin department is anyone's guess.

Trump's speech in slamming America's trade partners is inadvisable. It is not wise to unnecessarily make enemies out of trade partners (or anyone for that matter). The countries Trump has been slamming have not done anything harmful or out of the ordinary to America in the area of trade. However, some American companies have exported jobs abroad and are not being taxed correctly in America, which has been occurring under the previous and current presidential administrations. Rich companies have been given sizeable tax breaks.

Britain Votes To Leave The EU


David Cameron
 
Britain has voted to leave the EU. The British people have spoken. The will of the people must be honored. Britain belongs to the British people and they get to decide what they do with it (much like in any other sovereign nation). British Prime Minister, David Cameron, has resigned after backing the failed move to remain in the EU. Cameron stated a new Prime Minister will be selected in October 2016. People online have commented that U.S. President Barack Obama’s trip to Britain a few months ago regarding remaining in the EU, did the movement more harm than good. Britons do not want to be told what to do by Obama or any other leader they did not elect.

Cameron has done good things for Britain, via austerity and proper tax collection, which helped to guide the nation out of the 2008 financial crisis that emanated from Wall Street. Financial cuts were needed and it helped to increase Britain’s fortunes. The pound has lost some of its value due to the vote to leave prevailing, but is still holding. Markets all over the world have lost some of their value as well, in what is a correction to reflect the current vote.

There is no need to panic. Britain will be just fine. The Chinese yuan is relatively low and China is still a prosperous, industrious, wealthy nation. The key to flourishing in the world is producing goods and services people want and need. Britain has many great products and services people want and need. Britain has innovative companies in the area of finances, automotive, food and clothing, among others. The Premier League is also the biggest tourist attraction in Britain bringing in 5 billion pounds annually from visitors.

Britain is one of the oldest countries in the world. It is a very nice place to live. It is peaceful and civil. It is a great country that has survived a lot throughout history. Brexit is just a hiccup. That’s not to insult the EU, as there are many great countries in it as well. I love and admire nations such as France and Spain, among others.


Some believe Britain’s vote to leave the EU was based on discontent regarding immigration levels, which have dramatically surged. With the freedom to move among the EU nations, many Britons complained that the “traffic is moving in one direction” into Britain, creating new costs the British taxpayers had to underwrite. Many members of the British public feared the country would not be able to handle the added long-term financial costs.

Britain has free healthcare via the NHS and cash benefits to those who need it. People were moving into Britain from other parts of the EU and getting free healthcare, financial benefits and council housing. No nation in the EU can afford to indefinitely accommodate the level of traffic Britain received, plus pay 12 billion pounds per year into the Union as well. One nation could not sustain that indefinitely.

No country is perfect. However, I will state this, I know Britain well and I have not found it to be a racist or xenophobic country. There are many interracial marriages in Britain. There are also many marriages in Britain among local Britons and foreigners. On the whole, Brits are very open minded people. They do try to fight racism and xenophobia within the scope of the law, using legislation and court imposed penalties. Therefore, the vote was about a financial concern of many in Britain. Based on comments I have read in the lead up to the vote, I think the biggest gripe of the British people is the sum of money the country has been paying to the EU.

At the end of the day, the British people have the right to determine the future they want for their nation. That’s how democracy works. It is nice to see that though many in the British government wanted to remain in the EU, the vote wasn’t rigged.

The British people need to work together for a great future for Britain. Even if the vote did not go how you wanted it to, you still have a great country worth treasuring and preserving. Therefore, stand together and make things work. Invest in your country and the nation’s future.

Donald Trump Demands Audience Pledge Allegiance To Him In Heil Hitler Styled Salute, Promotes Mussolini And Violence Against Minorities And Women


The Slippery Slope

Donald Trump

U.S. presidential candidate, Donald Trump, is fast showing himself to be a racist, fascist Nazi. From the beginning of his campaign for the presidency, Trump xenophobically referred to Mexican illegal immigrants as rapists and murderers, which is a lie. He stated black youth "have no spirit." Another lie. Trump has also vowed to ban Muslims from America, which is wrong and unethical. He has also mocked the disabled, which is a cruel thing to do.

Trump is behaving like Hitler, scorning and disparaging minorities and those who are disabled, seeking to sift away every group that does not fit his white ideal. Trump has come under fire over a number of incidents. Recently during a rally, Trump demanded the audience raise their right hand and pledge allegiance to him, not the American flag. When one pledge's allegiance to the flag, one bends one's right arm (similar to the shape of a boomerang). Trump asked the thousands of people at the rally to raise and extend their right arm and pledge allegiance to him, in what looked like a Nazi salute. It was not a pretty sight. It was a very disheartening and disconcerting throwback to terrible days in our world, where Hitler cost 50,000,000 people their lives. Recently, Trump also retweeted a quote promoting fascist Mussolini.   


A Twitter user compared Donald Trump rally with Hitler's Nazis

Trump is playing on the American people's fears to gain a foothold in the election. He is encouraging hatred, separatism and violence via his words. For example, a Muslim woman entered a Trump rally to see what it was about, regarding how he fits into the political process. She did not disturb the peace. She simply attended the rally, as many others had done. She was bullied, heckled and  kicked out for being Muslim. This was very illegal, inappropriate and discriminatory. Last week, a black woman with a protest sign was shoved at a Trump rally by a white male. He was discharged from the Marine Corps for this illegal behavior. 

This week, as police peacefully escorted a black protestor out of a Trump rally, a white supporter of the presidential candidate punched the African-American man who was in cuffs and not resisting arrest. The man in question has now been arrested for punching the protestor in a matter than had nothing to do with him. It was another illustration of the unprovoked hatred and violence Trump is provoking and promoting. Two days ago, a Trump campaign worker roughed up a female reporter, grabbing and throwing her to the ground, for attempting to ask a question they deemed controversial. That is crazy. People are entitled to free speech. This illegal thug behavior is unacceptable and uncouth. 

 

Trump ranting at rallies

Trump's campaign is encouraging violence against minorities and women. Trump angrily rants at rallies, working up attendees by virulently pointing out all the problems in America and laying blame on Mexicans, blacks, Muslims, the disabled, China and the Middle East. This is exactly how Hitler got started. Trump's hit list is ever growing and will only serve to promote American isolationism in the world, by offending many people and nations. To run a campaign on hate is a dangerous thing. No good can come of it. 

America elected its first black president in 2008 when Barack Obama won the presidential election. However, during his tenure in office, at times it has veered into militancy that has left whites feeling isolated, left out and under threat. That's not good. This is one of the reasons the Judiciary Report has maintained for years that anyone elected to office anywhere in the world, should seek to unite the races and do the best they can for everyone, not one particular race, group or cause. There must be fairness, equality and an even playing field. It promotes civility and racial harmony. People should not feel left out or neglected in their own country. Every life matters.

Donald Trump's Campaign Manager Reportedly Roughed Up a Female Reporter 

Mar 9, 2016 - A female reporter tried to ask Donald Trump a question Tuesday night as he was leaving a Florida press conference, only to be "forcibly yanked" by Trump's campaign manager, Corey Lewandowski, according to Politico. The reporter, Michelle Fields, who works for Breitbart News, was nearly brought down to the ground, Politico said, adding that a witness said she was "clearly roughed up." The run-in happened as Secret Service were clearing a path for Trump. Fields's boyfriend, an editor with the website Daily Caller, had this to say about the incident... 

This is not the first time Trump's campaign has gotten physical with protesters or the press. Most recently, a photographer for Time magazine was thrown to the ground and choked by someone on Trump's Secret Service detail...

 Muslim woman led out of Trump rally; group seeks apology
 
January 9 at 6:17 PM - CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Rose Hamid attended one of Donald Trump’s rallies in silent protest over some of his campaign statements, but by the time the South Carolina event was over, the Muslim woman said she had been heckled by people in the crowd and escorted out by security guards. Now she’s awaiting a response from the Republican front-runner. 

The Council on American-Islamic Relations has issued a call to the campaign of the GOP contender to apologize over Hamid’s treatment at the event Friday night. And Hamid said by Saturday afternoon she hadn’t received any response. “I would like to hear what Trump has to say about it,” she told The Associated Press by phone. “I’d like to hear because if they say that it was because we were disrupting things, then I would like him to show evidence of where the disruption came, because the disruption didn’t come from me. It came from his followers because they saw me.”...

Space Junk Causing Military Concerns Of Confrontations


In 2010 the Judiciary Report did articles on space pollution regarding junk left behind by space crews (Space Pollution and Space Pollution - Part 2). Months after the article was published on the Judiciary Report, both Russia and America commissioned studies on the potential impact of space junk. Two years later in 2012, space junk nearly hit a group of astronauts in what could have turned fatal (Space Junk Nearly Hits Astronauts Forcing Them To Flee To Capsules). It is a genuine matter of concern.

Media reports this week indicate space junk is creating other problems. Scientists are stating nations are in danger of mistaking impacting space junk for attacks by other countries on their satellites in space. Russia, who were the first nation in space, are set to publish a report on the subject. The Guardian newspaper in London wrote, "In a report to be published in the journal Acta Astronautica, Vitaly Adushkin at the Russian Academy of Sciences in Moscow writes that impacts from space junk, especially on military satellites, posed a 'special political danger' and 'may provoke political or even armed conflict between space-faring nations. The owner of the impacted and destroyed satellite can hardly quickly determine the real cause of the accident.'"

Rise in space junk could provoke armed conflict say scientists  

Friday 22 January 2016 13.54 EST - Last modified on Friday 22 January 2016 17.02 EST - The steady rise in space junk that is floating around the planet could provoke a political row and even armed conflict, according to scientists, who warn that even tiny pieces of debris have enough energy to damage or destroy military satellites. Researchers said fragments of spent rockets and other hurtling hardware posed a “special political danger” because of the difficulty in confirming that an operational satellite had been struck by flying debris and had not fallen victim to an intentional attack by another nation.

Space agencies in the US and Russia track more than 23,000 pieces of space junk larger than 10cm, but estimates suggest there could be half a billion fragments ranging from one to 10cm, and trillions of even smaller particles. The junk poses the greatest danger to satellites in low Earth orbit, where debris can slam into spacecraft at a combined speed of more than 30,000mph. This realm of space, which stretches from 100 to 1200 miles above the surface, is where most military satellites are deployed...

Data in the study from the Russian space agency show that the International Space Station took evasive action five times in 2014 to avoid space debris. Even small flecks of paint that have flaked off spacecraft can be hazardous. Nasa’s space shuttle was struck by flying paint several times in orbit, forcing ground staff to replace some of the spaceship’s windows. The report follows a report commissioned by Nasa in 2011 which warned that the level of space junk was rising exponentially, and had reached a “tipping point” in the threat it posed to satellites and the International Space Station.

New Financial Crisis Hits America Confirming Previous Site Claims


Barack Obama 

Throughout the tenure of U.S. President Barack Obama, from day one to the present, the Judiciary Report has advocated austerity in government spending, a modest tax hike on the rich and an increase manufacturing (Ben Bernake Didn't See The Financial Crisis Coming) to counteract and reverse the 2008 financial crisis that happened due to the damaging policies of former Commander-in-Chief, George W. Bush (How George Bush Destroyed The U.S. Economy). However, Obama did the exact opposite and to America's detriment.

Under the influence of incompetent, mentally ill Hollywood, who’ve spend more time in the White House than any other group combined, Obama used the entertainment industry’s motto of “you’ve got to spend money to make money” and “buy your way out of trouble.” And so, the Obama Administration splashed the cash. Today we see the end result of that folly. America is deeper in debt than it has ever been in the nation’s entire 400-year history. America’s national debt is approaching $19 trillion dollars.

Under Obama’s record spending, he has set in motion what is on track to cause the financial collapse of the federal government. On its current course, a time is coming when there will not be enough money to keep the federal government afloat and it will financially collapse.

To make matters worse, some of Obama’s campaign donors and cronies have looted the U.S. treasury, via shady backend deals that have made them wealthy at the expense of the American taxpayers. They were not entitled to this money. More constructive things could have been done with said stolen funds to benefit the nation, rather than a group of greedy, unpatriotic, thieving scoundrels.

The U.S. stock market is completely unstable, experiencing rollercoaster type activity and massive declines that wiped away $2.3 trillion dollars in one year. America’s top companies are in decline. Walmart, a top grossing American company, is closing 269 stores domestically and worldwide, which will result in 16,000 people losing their jobs. Apple is experiencing serious stock and sales declines.

Other companies in the tech sector, such as Oracle, HP, Twitter and Facebook are also experiencing sales and stock declines. Apple has lost $44.7 billion dollars in value, as sales have weakened.

American banks Citigroup, Bank of America, Wells Fargo and JP Morgan Chase have all lost billions of dollars in value. Foreclosures are also up again in America, revealing the government has not properly addressed the financial and mortgage crisis of 2008 that is rebooting itself and causing misery among homeowners.

Food prices in America are high. I’ve discovered food prices in Britain are on average 30% lower than America. Every American I know is complaining about food prices. It’s not a good sign when working class people can’t afford food. That is a tell tale sign the economy is not in a good way. It also necessitates the need for more food stamps to prevent people from going hungry, which means the government is underwriting that as well, due to the administration's poor handling of the economy.

Unemployment is up. However, reports indicate the Obama Administration has been falsifying numbers and removing millions of unemployed people from national financial data to give a false impression. These millions are incorrectly branded individuals who have given up on finding a job. However, they are still among the unemployed and should be included in the official tally to correctly gauge the financial problems facing the nation. How do you possibly fix a problem you refuse to acknowledge exists.

The corruption and costly illegal spying by the U.S. government has reached an all time high. Obama is blanket spying on the American people, which is unconscionable and perverse. Obama is also illegally spying on Congress to great degrees, which is criminal. Where are the famed "checks and balances" and the "separation of powers" when the president is behaving like a dictator in spying on everyone and trying to control everything.

America is supposed to have three branches of government - executive (president), legislative (Congress) and the judicial (courts). Right now, America only has one, the executive branch, that is spying on, browbeating, bullying and coercing the other two branches into submission and corruption...and to terrible economic results.

During Obama’s final State of the Union Address last week, the president stated America’s military is the most advanced in the world, but he is completely wrong. The Chinese military is far more technologically advanced. There was an incident that revealed the Chinese military has become far superior in the technological realm.

The U.S. Navy was conducting a military exercise in the Pacific Ocean using a technologically advanced American submarine. However, a Chinese submarine with even greater technological capabilities surfaced right beside the American sub and went completely undetected until the U.S. military literally saw it with their own eyes above water. That's just a fraction of what their technology can do. China has also made great strides in space weaponry as well.

America is also not self sustaining. China is a fully functional economy and nation in every aspect, producing all the food and technology it needs. America does not produce even ½ the food the nation consumes or the majority of the electronics the country uses. Most electronics in America comes from China, which became a global force in the past 5-years due to exemplary manufacturing standards that generated trillions in revenues. Fair is fair. They made the products and deserved to be paid for them. I'm not complaining, as I use Chinese products all the time. The point I'm trying to make is America does not occupy the same place it once did in the world and the government refusing to realize that will not help the nation progress.

The U.S. government is spending so much time, manpower and money on fruitless wars in the Middle East, the nation cannot afford to respond appropriately if something truly horrible happens on a global scale. It is a mass of wasted time, money and resources. All the money going into these wars could have greatly improved America's businesses, schools, homes and general infrastructure, making the country stronger.  

There are many imbalances in the U.S. government and economy that need to be corrected. Yet the Obama Administration is in denial and has not remedied the serious problems facing America. You don’t fix problems by covering them up and proverbially "kicking the can down the road" to the next administration, as Bush did and Obama is doing. It just results in a bigger mess and greater problems eroding the nation.

Obama has and continues to devote an extraordinary amount of time in dogmatic, obsessive and alarming bids at destroying his perceived enemies, conservatives, than he does America's enemies, ISIS. It's sad that Obama has spent more time attacking conservatives and Christians in America than he has ISIS.

Americans had to raise a stink for Obama to even admit the terrorist attack on San Bernardino, California this past December was terrorism (Obama Administration Being Slammed By Americans For Refusing To Label San Bernardino Killings Terrorism). When the wave of bad publicity hit him, he finally admitted it.

Meanwhile, reports keep surfacing that Obama continues to use federal agencies like the IRS to financially abuse and attack conservatives and Christians in America. Take a look at Obama's interviews and press clippings over the past year. The majority of his comments are devoted to attacking conservatives, who bear in mind, are Americans. It simply doesn't look right.

A recession worse than 2008 is coming

January 15, 2016 - The S&P 500 has begun 2016 with its worst performance ever. This has prompted Wall Street apologists to come out in full force and try to explain why the chaos in global currencies and equities will not be a repeat of 2008. Nor do they want investors to believe this environment is commensurate with the dot-com bubble bursting. They claim the current turmoil in China is not even comparable to the 1997 Asian debt crisis.

Indeed, the unscrupulous individuals that dominate financial institutions and governments seldom predict a down-tick on Wall Street, so don't expect them to warn of the impending global recession and market mayhem. But a recession has occurred in the U.S. about every five years, on average, since the end of WWII; and it has been seven years since the last one — we are overdue.

Most importantly, the average market drop during the peak to trough of the last 6 recessions has been 37 percent. That would take the S&P 500 down to 1,300; if this next recession were to be just of the average variety. But this one will be worse...
 

The uninvited guest: Chinese sub pops up in middle of U.S. Navy exercise, leaving military chiefs red-faced

Last updated at 00:13 10 November 2007 - When the U.S. Navy deploys a battle fleet on exercises, it takes the security of its aircraft carriers very seriously indeed. At least a dozen warships provide a physical guard while the technical wizardry of the world's only military superpower offers an invisible shield to detect and deter any intruders.

That is the theory. Or, rather, was the theory. American military chiefs have been left dumbstruck by an undetected Chinese submarine popping up at the heart of a recent Pacific exercise and close to the vast U.S.S. Kitty Hawk - a 1,000ft supercarrier with 4,500 personnel on board. By the time it surfaced the 160ft Song Class diesel-electric attack submarine is understood to have sailed within viable range for launching torpedoes or missiles at the carrier.

According to senior Nato officials the incident caused consternation in the U.S. Navy.  The Americans had no idea China's fast-growing submarine fleet had reached such a level of sophistication, or that it posed such a threat. One Nato figure said the effect was "as big a shock as the Russians launching Sputnik" - a reference to the Soviet Union's first orbiting satellite in 1957 which marked the start of the space age. The incident, which took place in the ocean between southern Japan and Taiwan, is a major embarrassment for the Pentagon...
 

Wal-Mart to shutter 269 stores, 154 of them in the US

Jan 15, 6:00 PM EST - NEW YORK (AP) -- Wal-Mart is doing some rare pruning. The world's largest retailer is closing 269 stores, including 154 in the U.S. that includes all of its locations under its smallest-format concept store called Wal-Mart Express. The other big chunk is in its challenging Brazilian market.

The stores being shuttered account for a fraction of the company's 11,000 stores worldwide and less than 1 percent of its global revenue. Wal-Mart Stores Inc. said the store closures will affect 16,000 workers, 10,000 of them in the U.S. Its global workforce is 2.2 million, 1.4 million in the U.S. alone.

Market crash robs $2.3 trillion from investors

7:22 p.m. EST January 15, 2016 - The stock market rout is starting to get really expensive — destroying $2.3 trillion from the market's top last year and $1.5 trillion in net wealth just this year. The giant companies that predominantly populate the Standard & Poor's 500 have fallen an average of 8.9% this year — which, when translated into dollars, is real money. Real big money. The S&P 500 is down 8% this year already — including another 2.2% Friday — in what's been the worst start to a year ever. Since the market peak on May 21, 2015, the market has declined 11.7%.

The biggest wealth destroyers in the S&P 500 from the high have been gadget maker Apple (AAPL), pipeline company Kinder Morgan (KMI) and corporate software company Oracle (ORCL) — crushing $218 billion, $63.5 billion and $49.8 billion in market value, respectively, from the May 21, 2015, top.

Wikileaks Releases The Private Emails Of CIA Chief John Brennan


John Brennan

The website Wikileaks has released the private emails of American CIA Director, John Brennan, swiped from his AOL account. News reports indicate Wikileaks were sent the emails by an alleged 13-year-old high school student, who goes by the name "Cra*kas With Attitude" a take off of the name of 1980s rap group N.W.A. ("Nig*as With Attitudes"). The teen hacked Brennan's email box, as he is angry over, "American foreign policy." The emails contain Brennan's personal and identifying information. The leak has the U.S. intelligence agency angry, as it is an embarrassing incident for a secretive government outfit that prides itself on clandestine activities.

Brennan became CIA Director, after years as a top Barack Obama financial donor. In essence, this is how he got the job. His private emails contain a number of items on the Obama administration's position on torture, China, Afghanistan and Iran. This means Brennan, like Hillary Clinton, was using a personal email account to conduct business on behalf of the United States and to transmit classified materials, which is forbidden. Emails may only be sent from secure, encrypted email channels approved by the U.S.  government. The Obama administration is making it too easy for hackers to nab national secrets.

Britain Expands Business Ties With China


Britain's Prime Minister David Cameron meets with China's President Xi Jinping at Downing Street in London, England

Britain's Prime Minister, David Cameron, rolled out the welcome mat for China's President, Xi Jinping, during an official state visit to London, England today. The heads of state have strengthened ties between the two nations, in cementing financial deals worth 40-billion British pounds.

China is building a nuclear power plant in England, in a deal said to be worth 18-billion British pounds. Other deals include building a business complex of office towers and retail space in London's docklands area, said to be worth 1.5-billion British pounds. The price for visas for Chinese tourists will also be reduced. Much can be gained from the deals on both sides. Here's hoping it is fruitful and all works out.

FBI Reveals Communist Block Sent Hillary Clinton Malware To Hack Her Emails As Secretary Of State

 

Hillary Clinton

Last week the FBI revealed that China and Russia made attempts at hacking the emails of former U.S. Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, who is now a presidential candidate for the 2016 election in America. This confirms the Judiciary Report's claims from a month ago regarding the communist block targeting Clinton's computers (The Communist Block Accessed Hillary Clinton's Unencrypted Emails).

The FBI has not confirmed the communist block hacked Clinton's emails, but I have it on good authority they did, due to the lack of security regarding her unencrypted, private server that hosted them. Clinton is trying to make the scandal out to be a political matter, in some not wanting her to be president. However, it is a national security matter.

Clinton grossly deviated from procedure and protocol. In doing so, Clinton greatly endangered national secrets (even though it was unintentional on her part). That's not good in any government or from any political party. Those security rules were implemented for a reason, so things like this won't happen.

There are now foreign governments, who are America's allies, that are upset that statements they made in confidence to Clinton via email are now in the hands of the communist block, who are formidable rivals that are growing in strength, wealth and influence and can do them damage. In the future they are not going to be inclined to open up to you regarding anything classified, because in you leaving the server unencrypted you left them open to trouble as well.

Emails: Russia-linked hackers tried to access Clinton server

Sep 30, 7:31 PM (ET) - WASHINGTON (AP) — Russia-linked hackers tried at least five times to pry into Hillary Rodham Clinton's private email account while she was secretary of state, emails released Wednesday show. It is unclear if she clicked on any attachment and exposed her account. Clinton received the infected emails, disguised as speeding tickets, over four hours early on the morning of Aug. 3, 2011. The emails instructed recipients to print the attached tickets, which would have allowed hackers to take control of their computers.

Security researchers who analyzed the malicious software in September 2011 said that infected computers would transmit information from victims to at least three server computers overseas, including one in Russia. That doesn't necessarily mean Russian intelligence or citizens were responsible...the State Department and other government agencies, during Clinton's tenure and after, suffered its own series of hacking attacks. U.S. counterterrorism officials have linked them to China and Russia.
 

Hillary Clinton Joked About Chinese Hacking Her Email

5:09 PM, Sep 30, 2015 - In a newly released Hillary Clinton email, Clinton jokes that the Chinese must have hacked her email. "Even weirder--I just checked and I do have your state but not your gmail--so how did that happen. Must be the Chinese!" To make matters even more hilarious, over the past few months, numerous questions have been raised about the security of her email system. As RB Pundit notes on Twitter, "Hillary Clinton joking about Chinese possibly hacking into email. Which they probably did."

The 2015 IAAF Championship Games In Beijing Was Fantastic (Video)


The World Athletics Championships in Beijing, China has come to a close, in what was a thrilling and thoroughly entertaining sports event. Kenya topped the medal table, followed by Jamaica in second, the United States in third and Great Britain in fourth. It’s great when the world gets together in the spirit of brotherhood and sisterhood, to celebrate each other and have a good time.


Could Kenya’s Ezekiel Kemboi (top) out dance Jamaica’s Usain Bolt (above) as both men are known for celebratory dancing after victorious races (LOL)

The star of the championship was sprinter Usain Bolt, who successfully defended his titles and scored three gold medals to add to his impressive collection. The Kenyan team also turned in some masterful performances. It’s amazing to watch Kenyans run long distances and not break a sweat or even breath hard. If it were me I’d be like “Somebody call an ambulance!”

The U.S. Government Suffers Its Biggest Computer Hack In History And Blames The Chinese Government


U.S. President Barack Obama

The U.S. government was subjected to a massive, unprecedented hack that is being referred to as the biggest in the nation's history. The hack swiped the information of federal employees, which experts believe can be used to blackmail them into subversive activities against the U.S. government. News reports have stated the U.S. government believes the Chinese government is behind the hack. For many years, the U.S. government has engaged in spying activities against the Chinese government, which also includes hacks.

The Chinese government has not stated they were behind the hacks. The U.S. government recently admitted the North Korean government was behind the widespread hack of Sony in America. The U.S. government stated they know it is the North Korean government, due to the fact the U.S. government has been actively hacking the computers of the North Korean government. So basically, what you have here is world governments spying on other world governments.

Rihanna’s Met Gala Dress Mocked In China And All Over Social Networking

When You Think You're Hot But The Internet Thinks You Just Look Like Something That Came Out Of A Chicken's Butt

File This Under When Poultry Is Your Inspiration
 

Rihanna

Rihanna thought she was the star of the Met Gala this year in New York, but she was sadly mistaken. Rihanna wore a Chinese inspired dress that allegedly took two-years to make, but it wasn’t a hit online or in China (not even China where it is allegedly from liked it LOL). In China it is being mocked and ridiculed as the “pancake dress.” The dress was also thoroughly mocked on social networking where people likened it to an omelet, cape and airplane escape shoot. This is a case of leaving the house thinking you look hot, but everybody else just thinks you look like an egg.


This has not been Rihanna’s year. A greedy, manufactured artist designed to be cutting edge, but is full of hype and copyright infringement, has seen her career implode this year, with audiences turning on her over stealing other entertainers work and trying to pass it off as her own, as well as snorting cocaine on camera (for the second time).


Internet memes abound for Rihanna's dress, labeling her unfashionable

Things have gotten so bad with Rihanna's career even her record label is busy sending her back to the recording studio after three ill-received music singles. The poorly received and highly laughed at Met Gala dress is the latest misstep for drug addicted alcoholic Rihanna who just can't seem to get it right.

The UK Leaders Debate 2015 And Britain’s Future


2015 UK Leaders Debate

I recently watched the UK Leaders Debate 2015 and it was engaging. The future of Britain looks good. Candidates debated their point of view in vying for the post of Prime Minister of Britain. The United Kingdom has made strides under incumbent David Cameron. The 2008 financial crisis that began in America and spread to many nations, created a significant amount of global economic damage. Cameron made some necessary cuts to stem the damage and return the country to financial growth.

To further these endeavors, a greater return to manufacturing is key. Another area that needs to be addressed is reopening factories that were closed during the financial crisis. Bring them back as new business ventures that will generate revenue from product sales. While Britain may not be able to currently duplicate the absolute low prices of items made in China that we all buy, as said items have proved very useful. Britain can trade on one of its other strengths. For decades items bearing the “Made in Britain” mark carries a level of prestige and name recognition. It’s time to use that again in a wider series of product campaigns. It would also be beneficial to start exporting British culture again on a greater scale.

A small government created committee should be formed, with at least one economic mind present, with corporate experience. Many wealthy foreigners, some of whom are billionaires, live in Britain. Their children also live in Britain and go to school there as well. Therefore, a desire and inclination to further invest in the community one lives likely exists. Britain also has homegrown millionaires and billionaires. A government based investment bureau could serve as a means of pairing such wealthy people with businesspeople, who have proper product ideas and plans and possess the know how to reopen factories.

Tax Incentives For Foreign Businesses

A special tax rate for foreign companies willing to open offices in Britain, would attract new businesses and generate additional revenue. Ireland’s 5% tax rate for foreign businesses has brought in new foreign revenues over the past several years. 

Unused National Resources

England has a significant amount of land that could be used for more farming. In China, business people willing to work the land, are allowed to use government land for free. It has greatly increased Chinese exports and provided well for local families willing to work the land and pay taxes on revenues.

An example of an item that is needed and grows well in Britain are potatoes. There are so many foreign and domestic restaurant and fast food chains in Britain, who use potatoes on a daily basis. Increasing domestic potato farming could generate additional billions in revenues.

The Crown Estate owns many properties in Britain. Local councils also own a number of properties. Britons with sound business plans and even modest savings, should be allowed a few months free rent to establish a viable local businesses and under contract, pay rent beginning in the third or fourth month of occupancy once the venture is up and running.

Floyd Mayweather Flaunts His Wealth And Manny Pacquiao Jokes About It In The Lead Up To Potential May 2, 2015 Fight


Floyd Mayweather

In a recent item uploaded to Instagram, the wealthiest boxer in the world, Floyd “Money” Mayweather, posted a photo of himself posing in front of his private jet, valued at $25,000,000, comfortably perched behind a row of his fleet of luxury sports cars worth $3,000,000. Mayweather‘s top rival, boxing star, Manny “Pac-Man” Pacquiao, posted a contrasting photo of himself in front of a fire waiting for Mayweather’s call regarding their highly anticipated fight. 


Manny Pacquiao

BoxRec posted an item on their website stating Mayweather v. Pacquiao is scheduled to take place on May 2, 2015, in Las Vegas, Nevada. Could this be the moment fight fans have been waiting for. One thing is certain, if the fight goes off, Mayweather and Pacquiao would make a fortune. A sporting event of this magnitude would contain multi-layered marketing deals regarding ticket sales, merchandising, pay-per-view and internet rights. As stated on the site previously, if the rights encompass China, where Pacquiao is very popular, it could turn into a $1 billion dollar event. As both men bring something to the table, the split should be even.

Pacquiao versus Floyd Mayweather can become the single richest event in sporting history and the enormity of the prize will surely be enough to break down the barriers which have prevented it from taking place thus far. This bonanza is being made possible by the prospect of the first pay-per-view fight broadcast in China.

Promoter Bob Arum is predicting a subscription television audience in the People’s Republic in excess of 100 million. That would generate double the $300million which is being projected as the US pay-TV value of the Fight of the Century...
