The Trump administration on Wednesday blocked a Chinese-backed investor, Canyon Bridge Capital Partners, from buying Lattice Semiconductor, a California maker of highly programmable computer chips, Bloomberg reports. Earlier in the day, officials separately blocked federal agencies from buying software from Kaspersky Lab, a Russian cybersecurity company, amid concerns about Russian spying. “Kaspersky Lab has never helped, … Continue reading “The Russian and Chinese companies that have been blocked by security fears”
“Today in Amsterdam, for the first time in a while, I have a document proving my identity. Immediately upon arrival in the Netherlands, I was given an identity card that entitles me to live and work in the European Union, the entire procedure took only a few minutes.” Saakashvili said.
The ex-President of Georgia was earlier deported from Ukraine, via a private flight to Poland. Saakashvili was “stateless” as both countries stripped him of citizenship.
But…… They leave out the part that Saakashvili has an US passport also. So as far as being stateless? Don’t think so….but it sounds good…
Thus, the beat goes on…

PS: He is not done wanting to be Ukraine president. Just got in trouble…
The report (“The Dossier”) that claims that Donald Trump colluded with Russia, was paid for by the DNC and Hillary Clinton campaign.
The company that claims that Russia hacked DNC computer servers, was paid by the DNC and Hillary Clinton campaign.
The FBI’s counterintelligence probe into Trump’s alleged connections to Russia was launched on the basis of information gathered from a report that was paid for by the DNC and Hillary Clinton campaign.
The surveillance of a Trump campaign member (Carter Page) was approved by a FISA court on the basis of information from a report that was paid for by the DNC and Hillary Clinton campaign.
The Intelligence Community Analysis or ICA was (largely or partially) based on information from a report that was paid for by the DNC and Hillary Clinton campaign. (more on this below)
The information that was leaked to the media alleging Russia hacking or collusion can be traced back to claims that were made in a report that was paid for by the DNC and Hillary Clinton campaign.
Russia is ready and most likely will soon drop SWIFT….then it is just a matter of time before China deals the same slap in the Western Empire’s face…
Russian financial institutions and firms are ready to work without SWIFT’s interbank cash transfer services, according to Deputy Prime Minister Arkady Dvorkovich.
I have already been following what is happening to European businesses that have dealt with Russia and relied upon Russian money. There are a bunch of businesses that need that money to survive….good example is below…
The UK mobile phone manufacturer and retailer has been placed into administration resulting in redundancy for 20 of its staff.
Wileyfox was put on administration on Monday 5 of February after the company’s Russian bank, due to western sanction issues and Russian laws governing money loaning have changed. Many small companies in Europe are scrambling to survive…
Maybe the western banks need to step up and put their money where their mouth is?
I own a Wileyfox and it is a good phone. But dead in the water now…
Russians do not bluff and if they drop the usage of SWIFT and utilize the new system. Sooner than later others will climb on board. One more nail in the coffin that the Western Empire id digging the hole for…
The west does not seem to be attached to reality. The repercussions of this move by Russia will hurt Russia, but will hurt the West much more…
As a reminder; the Western Empire tried to shut down MasterCard in Russia and found out real quick that Russia simply does not give a damn!
Remember Russia does not bluff! And more so to remember, China does not bluff…….
“Ei incumbit probatio qui dicit, non qui negat” is a Latin phrase which means “the burden of the proof lies upon him who affirms, not him who denies”.
The Universal Declaration of Human Rights, article 11, states: “Everyone charged with a penal offense has the right to be presumed innocent until proved guilty according to law in a public trial at which he has had all the guarantees necessary for his defense.”.
But in absence of any evidence of actual facts, we screwed Russia at the Winter Olympics 2018…
“Why yes! I am bought and paid for….thus I make stupid statements about justice. Yes I am a lawyer…”
Court of Arbitration for Sport Secretary General Matthieu Reeb said…
“The duty of the IOC (International Olympic Committee) was to show that the athletes involved in this case were guilty of an anti-doping rule violation. The fact that you cannot establish the evidence of guilt does not mean that you have established the innocence of the athletes,”
and
“The fact that they were not able to show the guilt of an athlete does not mean that the athlete has nothing to do at all with the case, and is totally innocent,” Reeb said, calling it a “logical consequence.”
“There’s nothing bad about it,” he added.
Therefore, by the standards I hear from Sport Secretary General Matthieu Reeb, I would expect any and all Olympic Teams in the world, should be suspended immediately…
For every country has doping cheats and thus no one, due to Reeb’s statement, “The fact that you cannot establish the evidence of guilt does not mean that you have established the innocence of the athletes” has a right to be in the Olympics this year…
Sounds harsh?
It is and would be ignorant to impose upon the world. Then why is it all hunky-dory to impose it upon innocent athletes from Russia?
Remember; You are innocent until proven guilty You are guilty until you supply the burden of proof to clear yourself. That is against all accusations, whether those accusations have substance or not…
They screwed Russia over, “Just because they can!”
“By the fall of 1952, there were no effective targets left for US planes to hit. Every significant town, city and industrial area in North Korea had already been bombed. In the spring of 1953, the Air Force targeted irrigation dams on the Yalu River, both to destroy the North Korean rice crop and to pressure the Chinese, who would have to supply more food aid to the North. Five reservoirs were hit, flooding thousands of acres of farmland, inundating whole towns and laying waste to the essential food source for millions of North Koreans.” [emphasis added]
This was just the beginning. Having successfully destroyed the future North Korean state, this country moved on to the rest of East Asia and Indo-China, too. As Rolling Stone’s Matt Taibbi has explained:
“We [this loose cannon of a nation] dumped 20 million gallons of toxic herbicide on Vietnam from the air, just to make the shooting easier without all those trees, an insane plan to win ‘hearts and minds’ that has left about a million still disabled from defects and disease – including about 100,000 children, even decades later, little kids with misshapen heads, webbed hands and fused eyelids writhing on cots, our real American legacy, well out of view, of course.”
This mass murder led to the deaths of between 1.5 million and 3.8 million people, according to the Washington Post. More bombs were dropped on Vietnam than were unleashed during the entire conflict in World War II. While this was going on, this same country was also secretly bombing Laos and Cambodia, too, where there are over 80 million unexploded bombs still killing people to this day.
Started full strength under Obama and escalating under Trump…
We are not in Syria to secure US residents or the domain/country of the USA from any risk originating from Syria yonder. Truth be told our essence in Syria really raises the hazard that Americans will be assaulted comprehensively worldwide and at the homeland. All our doing not theirs…
For what reason do we not get that? What is it going to take to wake us up?
I am awake…. What about you?

Starting to look like a lot like this image below, in the world and war will not be a fun thing…
Except blue seems to be the bad guy in all the world issues…

North Korea cannot win for losing. Either the press is hating to “death do they part” North Korea and South Korea and or love it to the point of fanaticism…
I say, “Leave both North and South Korea alone and let them work things out!” and “Enjoy life!”
But…
The hate from America and or the love expressed is so far extremed, that we look like fools…
No man is so foolish but he may sometimes give another good counsel, and no man so wise that he may not easily err if he takes no other counsel than his own. He that is taught only by himself has a fool for a master. – Hunter S. Thompson
We need to get out in the world more and quit trying to bend it to our foolish ways…
