    In any civilzed society , it is the OBLIGATION of the Strong to protect the week.
    It has always been so, whether it is” Noblesse Oblige” of millenia ago, or the “Government” of today.

    I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.

      Good quote………..JMO

      Jul 07, 2020 07:02 PM

      The following is also his:
      ““The government of the United States is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion.”

        Jul 07, 2020 07:04 PM

        And this:
        “Democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts and murders itself. There was never a democracy that did not commit suicide.”

        – John Adams, letter to John Taylor, 1814.

        He left out the self-evident reason, of course: Most people are extremely ignorant.

        Jul 07, 2020 07:11 PM

        He nailed these, too:
        “Children should be educated and instructed in the principles of freedom.”
        “Liberty cannot be preserved without a general knowledge among the people.”
        ———
        Does anyone believe that the gov would like either of the above?

        Jul 07, 2020 07:16 PM

        These could not be more relevant than they are right now:

        “All the perplexities, confusion, and distress in America arise, not from want of honor or virtue, but from the downright ignorance of the nature of coin, credit, and circulation.”

        – John Adams, Letter to Thomas Jefferson, August 25, 1787.

        “The consequences arising from the continual accumulation of public debts in other countries ought to admonish us to be careful to prevent their growth in our own.”

        – John Adams, First Address to Congress, Nov. 23, 1797.

        “There are two ways to conquer and enslave a country. One is by the sword. The other is by debt.”
        – John Adams

          Great list of quotes……..the bottom one says were we are now…..IMO

            Jul 07, 2020 07:59 PM

            Here are two more that will remain true:

            “Abuse of words has been the great instrument of sophistry and chicanery, of party, faction, and division of society.”

            – John Adams, letter to J. H. Tiffany, Mar. 31, 1819.

            “While all other Sciences have advanced, that of Government is at a stand; little better understood; little better practiced now than three or four thousand years ago.”

            – John Adams, letter to Thomas Jefferson, Jul. 9, 1813.

    Yes, personal moral values are part of how we accurately characterize people.

    And along with moral values, your behavior and manner of speaking also characterizes how you are judged by others, regardless of your race, ethnicity, skin color, national origin, or physical condition.

    And closely associated with that is Honesty:
    “Honesty is that quality we perceive in others when there is a strong correlation between what they SAY and what they DO.”

    Personally, I find that after someone exhibits these few but vitally important qualities, my eyes cease to see their physical body, and all I see is their persona.

    Jul 07, 2020 07:00 PM

    of course we need to be realistic…..myself and many others I know are just not sufficiently trained to fight my enemy with the zeal of our ancestors..ok funny in a pathetic way..even though i am a fit older dude what is the point……but,this is proving to be problematic…..hence they are holding their own or even winning by some reports…..in a world of weakness plus moral weakness it does pay to lie steal cheat and mislead your minions…..the constitution according to Adams will NOT repair this character deficiet…It is left to the courage of the culture to prevail…will we will it

    (Continued …….20 Cinese buyouts of Us companies)

    12. Brooklyn Nets (and their arena, the Barclays Center) — Bought by Alibaba co-founder Joseph Tsai in record-setting $2.35 billion deal
    The NBA has been criticized for its cozy ties with China. Perhaps no NBA franchise has cozier ties than the Brooklyn Nets, whose CEO David Levy resigned just two months after the team and their stadium were bought out by Alibaba billionaire Joseph Tsai. The New York Times reported that Tsai’s buyout was the biggest takeover of an American sports franchise in history.
    Tsai has drawn criticism for praising the Chinese Communist Party and casting aspersions on the Hong Kong protests.

    13. Ironman Triathlons — China’s Dalian Wanda bought 100% of the athletics company in 2015 for $650 million
    Wanda, China’s largest real estate developer, bought the Florida-based company, which boasts approximately 250,000 registered athletes and hosts 200 events in 27 countries.
    14. Nobel Learning Communities — China-based Primavera Capital backed the Spring Education Group (SEG) buyout of Nobel Learning Communities in 2018
    Founded in 1984 and based in West Chester, Pa., Nobel Learning had 190 schools in 19 states with approximately 25,000 students across the U.S. at the time of the Ch
    inese investment.

    15. Lexmark International Inc. — A consortium of Chinese investors led by Beijing-based Apex Technology Co. Ltd. completed the $3.6 billion takeover of Lexmark in late 2016
    The deal for the Lexington, Ky.-based printer company required approval from U.S. regulators, including Obama’s Committee on Foreign Investment in the U.S. (CFIUS), which was granted shortly after the November 2016 election.

    16. Strategic Hotels & Resorts, Inc. — China’s Anbang Insurance Group Co. Ltd. bought this U.S.-based luxury hotel group in 2016 for $5.5 billion from Blackstone Group LP
    The original purchase price was $6.5 billion for multiple hotels across the U.S., however one hotel located near a naval base in San Diego — the Hotel del Coronado — was stripped from the deal by U.S. regulators (CFIUS) due to national security concerns.

    17. Motorola Mobility — China-based Lenovo Group Ltd. purchased the American cell phone manufacturer for approximately $2.91 billion in 2014
    China’s Lenovo — already one of the largest computer manufacturers in the world — bought the U.S.-based Motorola cell phone company from Google for nearly $3 billion, which helped the Chinese tech company become one of the world’s largest mobile phone manufacturers.

    18. International Business Machines Corp. division (IBM’s x86 Server Business) — China’s Lenovo Group Ltd. bought the computer server hardware division from IBM for $2.1 billion in 2014
    As Reuter’s reported at the time, the deal gave “the Chinese tech firm the firepower to win business clients from U.S. rivals.”
    “In the large and medium enterprise space we can now fully leverage IBM technology to compete with brands like HP and Dell,” announced Lenovo’s CEO Yang Yuanqing.
    Lenovo had previously purchased IBM’s personal computer business for $1.75 billion in 2004, making it the world’s third-largest manufacturer of personal computers.
    By August 2014, Obama’s CFIUS had approved the Lenovo takeover of IBM’s x86 division.

    19. Waldorf Astoria New York (Hilton Worldwide Holdings Inc) — Anbang Insurance Group purchased the iconic hotel in 2014 for $1.95 billion, setting a record price for a U.S. hotel takeover.
    President Obama, sensitive to the optics, broke from longstanding presidential tradition and chose not to stay at the Waldorf Astoria during the 2015 U.N. General Assembly meeting in New York.
    Shortly after the Anbang takeover, one of the restaurants in the Waldorf Astoria — Oscar’s American Brasserie — was replaced with a new Chinese restaurant called La Chine.

    20. Henniges Automotive — Purchased by the Chinese Communist Party’s state-owned Aviation Industry Corp. of China (AVIC) for approximately $800 million in 2015
    As investigative author Peter Schweizer reported in his book “Secret Empires”: “AVIC sits at the heart of the Chinese military industrial complex. In September 2015, when AVIC bought 51% of American precision parts manufacturer Henniges, the other 49% was purchased by the Biden-and-Kerry-linked BHR.”
    The Henniges deal with AVIC received CFIUS approval from the Obama-Biden administration (including the John Kerry State Department) in 2015.
    The China state-owned (or state-linked) billion-dollar takeovers and multimillion-dollar investments listed above represent just a small fraction of the total funds pouring into the U.S. from China. Chinese energy companies have also taken control of numerous oil and gas and clean energy assets across the U.S.

    But buying out American companies is not the only way China exerts its influence in the United States. Chinese entities often partner with American firms on real estate developments, technology initiatives, manufacturing projects, and other deals that lead to increased financial ties without China taking a direct ownership stake.

            Between the three of you who just commented , do you believe that financial inequality is any different for a Somali immigrant married to her brother than me or you?
            How many times have I heard “End the Fed?”
            Who does not understand the reporting requirements are easier for Chinese companies listed in the U S than our own companies?
            I am going to print what Rep Omar said.
            As long as our economy and Political systems prioritize profits with out considering who is profiting, who is being shut out, we will perpetuate this inequality.
            So we cannot stop at the criminal justice system, We must begin the work of dismantling the whole system of oppression where ever we find it.
            now if you didn’t know that it was Rep Omar saying that, What would you think.
            Now get over your racist self and start acting human.

            Jul 07, 2020 07:45 PM

            And furthermore it seems that Rep Omar is the only one with enough balls to call out Israel on their abortion policy. That in itself is a pretty sad statement when you consider Rep Omar is a woman.

            In fact the U.S has one of the lowest Gold ownerships per person.
            I am neither a Democrat or a Republican, with that being said I don’t discount things said by people because of their Political identity. If they say dumb sh*t, I will call it dumb sh*t.
            We are on the same page Jerry and we always have been in my book.
            Your knowledge and effort doesn’t go un noticed. How many times have you tried to get through to Al about the two headed snake? He comes right back with his buddy Jim and totally dismisses everything in the name of Identity Politics.
            What happened to the Al who use to promote the Mises Institute and the wisdom of such men as Ron Paul?
            I hate Politics Jerry, and I know the mess were in. The continual banter of were better than them Reps Vs Dems I say show me your plan.
            Of course there is no plan. The plan is to keep cashing Government checks created from nothing by both the Dems and Repubs.
            I believe we are on the cusp of another war because there is no other option.
            God Speed Jerry.

            Jul 07, 2020 07:05 PM

            John, maybe you need to define “financial inequality” because you are very wrong if you think everyone should have the same economic outcomes for their efforts. The problem with the Fed is not financial inequality itself but the way it achieves its advantage.

            Those pushing for equal living standards for all are pushing hell on earth.

            Do you really believe that I believe everyone should have the same economic outcomes for their effort.
            If you do, all I can say is that you are not a very good judge of my character.
            And for the record Mathew, it is not just the FED but rather a constraint to unlimited Government spending that is needed.

    Second, I’m not sure ALL vaccines should be outlawed. Manufacturers should be held to higher standards, of course.
    The latest D614G mutation of the covid virus appears to make it more transmissive, but less lethal, so hopefully the danger of covid is already decreasing.
    Besides we now have enough paliative measures that work, that if only these were well known, we would nolonger have a covid pandemic.
    The latest study shows HCQ about halves lethality.
    And if you want an over-the-counter substitution for HCQ, try quercwtin (500 mg/day) add in melatonin (10mg/day) with zinc with vitamins C and D.

      Now today we can report that the FBI and DOJ did finally get back to attorneys requesting any information related to Seth Rich. Unfortunately the FBI and DOJ claim it will take them “8-10 months to search for and produce responsive records”. The response is as follows:

      The attorneys are requesting relief from the court because they believe the delay in providing records from the DOJ and FBI is so no records have to be produced before the 2020 election. If the records show Seth Rich provided the emails to WikiLeaks then it would prove: “(1) Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s entire investigation of

      President Donald J. Trump was premised on a fraud, and (2) current FBI and DOJ officials aided and abetted that fraud.”

      After several years of investigative reporting we now know there is no evidence Russia hacked the DNC and sent the hacked emails to WikiLeaks. Attorney Ty Clevenger asserts the DNI has been covering up for 4 years the fact that they have communications between

      Seth Rich and WikiLeaks. But no one in government wants Clevenger and the American public to know.
