  1. Excellent video breaking down who benefits from the various types of monetization on social media platforms. Black folks should definitely watch & take heed of it.

    Hopefully, as most things in life move in a circle, people will shut off their computers & cell phones & get back to socializing among each other in various types of establishments.

    For example, listening to music sounds much better in a venue i.e. theater, bar, lounge, restaurant, etc., with musicians playing instruments.

    Watching videos online doesn't provide the same vibe, energy &/or experience as in person.๐Ÿ˜Ž

    No, itโ€™s not just the words is government officials, military personnel, coming with videos that helped change my position. Thatโ€™s some crack pot on YouTube.

    Gotcha.

    I lump those former government officials & military personnel into the same boat because their testimonies do not produce anything tangible & they are using the same grainy videos that show us absolutely nothing.

    The government already knows those UAPs are military aircraft being tested. Of course, they are not going tell the American people nor their adversaries what they are doing with that technology.

    Interestingly, only a handful of countries have space programs &/or deal with UFO/UAP/extraterrestrial theories.

    For the most part, Black folks are not trying to send folks to the moon or trying to colonize Mars nor are we claiming UFOS & aliens.๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜Ž

    Files have existed since the Warren Commission & FBI under Hoover.

    Good luck working with blank, er, heavily redacted files from the 1960s.๐Ÿ˜

    Nevermind that if anyone was implicated in those files they are no longer alive.๐Ÿ˜Ž

    Yes, i was agreeing with you :-)

    I think we are fundamentally on the same page, I'm just trying to emphasize the fact China is much more than a source of low wage labor.

    Right. We're fundamentally on the same page.๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿฟ

    Making sure the lurkers understand the games world leaders try to play on us.๐Ÿ˜

    As the longest running empire, China is definitely more than a source of cheap labor beyond the USA.

    China is making moves around the globe especially in Africa.

    This week, China & Russia are having a meeting similar to last week with the Americans.

    I'm willing to bet Xi Jinping & Vlady Putin are having a nice chuckle at the expense of POTUS OJ.๐Ÿ˜Ž

    I think American propaganda is causing you to underestimate or marginalized Chinaโ€™s accomplishments.

    I'm not marginalizing China's accomplishments in providing for its citizens.

    Again, this is the result of propaganda when youโ€™re colonial power, and an empire everyone is an adversary. America needs to be able to flip the switch and turn any adversary into an enemy.

    This is what I'm pointing out. The USA creates boogeymen to keep its people dazed & confused about its adversaries.

    The real adversaries which the USA agitated are countries that resist colonization & imperialism & hate Israel.๐Ÿ˜Ž

  6. POTUS OJ has such a stranglehold on the GOP that he was able to primary Kentucky congressman Thomas Massie.

    Despite that Rep. Massie voted with POTUS OJ 9 outta 10 times..the fact that he insisted on releasing the Epstein files & opposed the war in Iran drew the ire of the current administration.

    In retaliation, the GOP at the behest of POTUS OJ poured $30 million dollars into Rep. Massie's opponent Ed Gallrein. The latter won.

    In other news, in POTUS OJ dropping his $10 billion dollar lawsuit against the IRS, the Department of Justice has created a $1.7 billion dollar fund to provide legal help to conservatives they feel were wrongly prosecuted.

    The January 6th folks could benefit from this slush fund. Same goes for any MAGA folks who might find themselves in trouble.

    The blatant grift & reallocation of funds into the coffers of POTUS OJ is unbelievable. White supremacy is flexing big time on the watch of this dude.๐Ÿ˜Ž

    Viewing China as a cheap labor force is short sighted. We are becoming increasing dependent upon them not just for labor.

    Right. China is not just cheap US labor force. They also steal, er, reappropriate products, goods & technology to sell cheaply to other countries around the globe. They reverse-engineer quite a bit.

    Back in the 1970s, the US started exporting the manufacturing jobs American workers relied on for middle-class status.

    IMO, the evaporation of blue-collar jobs here in America disenfranchised a lot of people. Now, they're talking about bringing trades back.

    If Chinese people & Asians in general were truly smarter than Americans & everyone else, it would stand to reason that their countries would be the global super-powers leading in innovation & technology.

    My point isn't too minimize China. It is to point out the obvious gaslighting US leaders do to keep Americans dazed & confused into believing China is an adversary.

    China is not a threat especially as long as money is flowing into their country from its biggest employer & customer...USA.๐Ÿ˜Ž

    I was just never willing to take the unsubstantiated statements of some guy in a crop field with a tin hat as evidence -- let alone proof.

    Same guy takes off his tinfoil hat & goes to Capitol Hill testifying before Congress that he's seen somerhing &/or he knows the government is hiding information. Yet, he can never provide proof or evidence. Just words.๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜Ž

  9. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/lawmakers-china-owned-us-farmland/

    40 million acres of US farmland is owned by foreign entities. It only amounts to about 2% of the farmland available.

    Chinese investors own about 229,000 thousand acres of farmland here in the USA which is only 0.5% of the 2% mentioned above.

    Nearly a quarter-million acres is a significant amount of land owned by a supposed adversary.

    I doubt that most people would allow their enemy to own as much as a broom closet in their home.๐Ÿ˜

    Again, just another example of the BS whenever the US declares China as a threat.๐Ÿ˜Ž

    It seems to me what your suggesting needs to happen in the future...the ninety nine percent 99%, the majority in the united states of america u.s.a., to embrace adjusting more positively to the fiscal environment or governmental bureaucracies of the u.s.a. led by the u.s.a.'s one percent fiscal wealthy.

    I didn't read that into what I actually wrote.

    I'm questioning how China can be considered an enemy or boogeyman given their labor force producing a huge amount of products & the Chinese presence in the USA.๐Ÿ˜Ž

  11. The amount of money Political Action Committees (PACs) are spending to put folks in office is ridiculous.

    If Black candidates are beholden to a PAC on either side, Democrat or Republican, their marching orders are already set.

    Candidates funded through grassroot efforts & regular campaign donations have an uphill climb. That's why Independents are rare.

    Campaign finance reform is a joke. So, the 2-horse race between Democrats & Republicans remains status quo. Just a matter of selected candidates out-fundraising each other.

    Once the politicians get to Capitol Hill, they go about the business of enforcing the agenda of & enriching the folks who sent them.๐Ÿ˜Ž

  12. China has been the blue-collar labor force for the United States of America (USA) for several decades now.

    Every person living in the USA has at least 5 things that were made in China.๐Ÿคฃ

    Also, there's at least 5 million Chinese people living in the USA.

    Yet, the US government wants the American people to believe China is a threat.

    If China wanted to destroy America it would be very easy to do wirhout firing a single shot.

    Everything from contaminated clothing & products to a little something extra in egg rolls & Chinese food would kill millions of Americans.๐Ÿคฃ

    First, it was the nuclear arms race that made Russia a boogeyman. China has become one too mainly because it owns a huge amount of US debt.

    White people in America make up enemies to justify the military & owning a bunch of guns.

    If American white folks would stop creating enemies through colonization, imperialism & racism, etc., they would have nothing to fear.๐Ÿ˜Ž

    Quite a few scientist and military brass has died or went missing....for this to come out.

    Yet you still doubt...that which some have given their life for so that you could have the truth....

    Again, there's no verifiable proof those people went missing or died because of what they may have known about strange phenomena, aliens or UFO/UAP files.๐Ÿ˜Ž

  14. POTUS OJ met with Chinese leader Xi Jinping this week.

    A delegation of 30 top business leaders accompanied POTUS to the summit.

    Remains to be seen how much trade & investment is made between the USA & China.

    Taiwan is a red line & bone of contention. The USA had already agreed to give Taiwan $11 billion dollars in arms.

    China's Xi Jinping told POTUS OJ there will be a conflict if that red line gets crossed.๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜Ž

  15. White supremacy is the empire that has been ongoing for several hundred years & counting.

    The United States of America at 250 years old is just its epicenter, headquarters or chief of state of the white supremacy empire.๐Ÿ˜Ž

  16. https://thehill.com/homenews/5868640-clyburn-trump-sc-redistricting/

    Rep. Jim Clyburn is fighting to save the lone South Carolina Democratic Congressional seat from a redistricting effort.

    At 85 years old, Rep. Clyburn is running for re-election. It would be his 18th term in Congress.

    Having earned several million dollars already & the pension he'll receive, there's no reason for America's favorite sharecropper, er, Rep. Clyburn to continue working in Congress.๐Ÿ˜

    I'm fairly certain Rep. Clyburn isn't taking care of hoes in different area codes either..๐Ÿคฃ

    The senior citizen squad that is Rep. Clyburn, Rep. Nancy Pelosi & Rep. Maxine Waters & every other member over 75 years old needs to retire & give younger folks a chance to sit in those seats.

    Term limits are totally necessary. There's no reason for these people to be taking naps during sessions &/or having the chamber smell like linimint or Aspercreme.๐Ÿคฃ

    We need a campaign telling Rep. Clyburn & others that its time to go home & enjoy retirement.๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜Ž
