Please look-up "CHINA'S GHOST CITIES AND MALLS": The Chinese gov't is putting on a false example of success by continuing to build malls, condos, etc. which are EMPTY!!!!
@davincij15 You are right! I think China's using them as a bluff; but I've seen a lot about these "empty" spaces such as abandoned Wal-Marts which have prior agreements with FEMA and the Department of Defense (DoD).
SEARCH: "FEMA Wal-Mart"...
Davinci, I appreciate you explaining the value of commodities over the failures/dangers of fiat currency. (I've shown this to many others.) If it weren't for you I may not have heard Max Kaiser or seen the market manipulation w/ COMEX... & EVERYTHING ELSE
If you ever doubt the manipulation of silver because some yo-yo said it's not true ask them if madoff was running ponzi before he surrendered? If yes then his scam would keep going if people like you continued to believe he was not running a scam.
@davincij15 I NEVER trusted the stock market... Never got into it... Your videos were the first and MOST SINCERE, that I saw someone getting into BEING OUR OWN BANKERS. Thanks again; I just hope the rest the world starts to figure it out before they can't afford to eat.
BTW, I've noticed the small increases and all the short selling to create small dives on the price keeping it around $35/oz... (Any day now, that spring they are compressing is going to fly sky high!!!)
The guy that makes this praising report for China must run with others in Chinese business networks which have prevented him from seeing this side of China (in the link below):
And I feel sorry for all the saps who think that only the West is truly free. Look back at your own history, were you EVER free? If so, you really have to travel more.
The UN Organization (UNO) and many political advocates want to create a world government and have been spinning all forms of their control to look good to the other side. Simply put, they are pitting the middle class against themselves and the poor. I COMPLETELY AGREE Davinci! (You have helped me with seeing my value and potentials, and being my own bank. My friends too!) I just wanted to share this because we all need to know how they'll spin it.
In revolutionary literature, the tactic is known as "PRESSURE FROM ABOVE & BELOW":
..."deliberately create problems, and then offer only those solutions that result in the expansion of government. Create conditions so frightful at home and abroad, that the abandonment of personal liberties and national sovereignty will appear as a small price to pay for a return to domestic tranquility and world peace..."
China is so awesome... I was shocked when I first visited a few years back! It made the U.S. look so backwards. We've had the wool pulled over our eyes wayyyy too long regarding China.
damn it sound like my little small southern town 25 yrs ago...shoe repairs, tailors, small individually owned stores....people happy to help ya...interesting. ...China the New America...sad really sad.
Like a drug addict America must hit rock bottom to pick it's self up and start moving in the right direction. However you want to avoid the dictatorship part of the rock bottom.
@centervilletn Wow, me too, I grew up in a small southern town of about about 1700 that had businesses in every building. Every pick up in the school parking lot had a gun rack with loaded shotguns and rifles and we all carried pocker knives in class. nobody was on "antidepressants" and everyone seemed to get along and help each other when a family had a tough time or a death in the family. I didn't fear the police/army/IRS/ATF/FBI but contrast 25 years ago to now.
@manofreedom exactly the same here...i used to walk to school during deer season and hunt...when i got to school id drop the bolt off in the office and put the rifle in the locker...the vp once came and got me out of class to shoot a buck on the baseball diamond......Unless you lived it people dont believe such a place existed....what the hell happened?....
@centervilletn I graduated in 1986 from Lake City Ark and we would wait for the buses to leave and then walk across the high school grounds loading our shotguns to dove hunt in the milo field across the road in front of the school. My dad was the agri/shop/chemistry teacher and we would lock up our shotguns in his office. When we brainwash kids they are just highly evolved apes and there is no God are we really surprised when they act like animals ie:(Columbine, West Side etc, etc)
@manofreedom im glad at least 2 of us remember ...we had good childhoods...even if you were in the FFA...lol...i did the 4H thing and by the time i was in HS i was pretty busy pig farming...lol.....really though i dont know what went wrong and where it happened but something very bad happened to America between 1984 and 1990......im 2 yrs older than you..and id say your class was about the last one have had the same experience.....
@centervilletn I wondered what happened also when the Westside school shooting took place. I was finishing my residency and was the Craighead Co. jail MD and I was in the ER when the call came for extra hands in the OR. I was/am still trauma certified so I scrubbed in on the victims to help gen.surg. I then had to go to the jail and deal with the teenage shooters and their families. I've pondered "what happened" lots of days while walking the fields looking for arrowheads since then.
@centervilletn As we use to say in the south, "Aint that a blip". LOL I remember the days when you could go to work (downtown ATL) take your shoes to one of 6 shoe shops to be repaired and pick them up the same day or the next morning. The taylors in local department stores. Food vendors (street vendors) so many I couldn't count. Now the shoe stores were moved away, food vendors liscenses were removed and the department stores were told to move to make way for corporations moving in.
@centervilletn We saw it coming 25-30 years back. This is not something that just happened within the last couple of elections. I can actually remember asking my Social Studies teachers, now that we are fighting for democracy for Russia and other nations will the tables be turned on us. If I could figure out my own future just as I figured out what is happening now, I guess I could say I would not be in the position I am in.
I still believe that at the heart of the founding of the United States were men and women with high ideals. Yes, I know there were those who who wanted to exploit the native people and the land; but I believe this nation wasn't founded solely,or even primarily, on greed and the desire for monetary profit. What I believe is happening in China now is fueled primarily by a desire for monetary gain alone. IMO the tide began to turn in US when love of money became primary motive.
Middle class of China will be a determining factor in world economy.
PGE metals will be in demand for all the extra cars' catalytic converters. Rhodium may be more in demand for neutron detectors in nuclear reactors.
Lithium will be in demand for batteries. Not to mention silver for solar panels.
imho: America is the autistic child of the world and largely unaware of the world being fixated on entertainment, diversions and ostentatious consumption.
Freedom of religion does not exist in China. Chinese citizens who do not belong to the sanctioned state church live in fear of imprisonment. My friends who live in China as missionaries do NOT view the Chinese as inferior,backward people. Several of them are, in fact, former Chinese citizens. North Korean Christians who, at great peril have escaped into China if caught, are summarily sent back to face certain life imprisonment and perhaps death. This is the China you tout as free.
@terilooney One of my friends, an amazing cultured Chinese citizen, was in Tienanmen Square with the protesters. The man standing next to my friend was shot dead. This friend was imprisoned twice for religious beliefs and even now must always go by an alias. Hence, no use of even identifying personal pronouns. This is freedom?
I agree China has a LONG way to go but the difference is they are moving in the right direction and America is moving in the WRONG direction. Body searches at Airports is not allowed in your constitution, never mind that it's just WRONG!
Now go to a monument in DC and read the constitution out loud in proud and patriotic manor and see what happens to you. Do you call that freedom?
@davincij15 I can agree to your premise that America is moving in the wrong direction. I have been alive long enough to see that, but according to my knowledge of Chinese history and reports from friends in China they are not moving in the right direction as regards human rights-capitalism perhaps-but not human rights. But it does scare me that the rapid deterioration of our rights in America seems to be largely unnoticed. Body Scanners broke this camel's back!
Wait until the US government starts actually detaining people indefinitely with out cause. The currently have that power but have not flexed it yet. Today, I say America is better than China but I fear for tomorrow.
@TreachMarkets At one time my naive belief in capitalism was such that I thought that economic freedom would bring freedom of ideas and human rights. (Silly me, since we never truly had that for all in US.) But this certainly hasn't been the case in the Middle East and is not proving to be the case in China.
@terilooney In absolute terms yes, but compared to the Cultural Revolution era, the Chinese are definitely more free. I think that things are changing there faster than most people realize. The game's not over.
Meanwhile the U.S. is busy heading the other way, economically and civil liberties-wise.
@TreachMarkets I would like to agree with you except that my friend and my friend's family were imprisoned for 20 years during the Cultural Revolution for religious beliefs. Then this person was imprisoned for 3 years in North Korea for religious beliefs. Now this person lives in constant danger of once again being imprisoned as do many others who profess belief in Christ. Is this better? Plus, skyrocketing inflation has made it increasingly difficult for average person to eat/live.
I've been living in China now for the past two years and in Asia for about three. I can tell you without question that everything Jay wrote about is true. I was amazed at the personal freedom Chinese citizens have. It was completely the opposite to what I had learned in the states. And gold and silver? Yes, retail stores and banks sell it over the counter. There are over 160 cities with 1 million people or more here and the public trasnportation is fabulous. Quality of life....
Striking about this video is that the things this man describes, the rollercoasters in the malls, you wont see that on the television here. We are led to believe its nothing but pollution and poverty.
I wonder if this will be the road to the future of America? It has always been about riches and natural resources probably since humans learned to walk and use a rock.
I found the word "backwards" very intriguing. Not the typical comment of 'sand monkey' 'Hadji" etc..
Actually I just watched this old VHS series on the rise and fall of the Roman empire.I came to the conclusion debasing the currency and running out of places to conquer and pillage was the main catalyst for their end.
Truth is treason in an empire of lies. China is slowly figuring out that freedom is better and America is slowly taking freedoms away to keep you "secure". One day China will allow free speach and America will ban it and at that point only fools will call America the land of the free.
@davincij15 China allows free speech now. If their govt does like what you say they track them down via the Mandatory Chip implant all Chinese Citizens are required to have and they simply KILL them or they will pick them up for one of the Human Organ Donner Program when they have these vans at the airport where their Govt Kills & Harvest the organs in the van at the Chinese airport.
Right, that is truthful as the government of the US hold people with out trial and can do that to any American or non Citizen. America also requires a national ID (google it) card or you can't do anything, the government wants petifiles to work at the TSA to feel up children and rendition innocent people.
:)
At the end of the day I can make up wild accusations about any government that are half truths as well.
@frgtmygld Sean Hannity.....if Newt Gingrich stopped walking suddenly to his next CFR meeting to receive his marching orders Sean's head would go 3 feet up Newt's ass. They both make me sick.
This was completely an ideology play and a big gamble by the West which has back fired. They thought they could control/bribe/pressure China while getting them to be a good little capitalist student as with Japan. Now there is no way to put the genie back in the lamp. No one to blame but the moronic Western governments who thought this plan would work.
A girlfriend is teaching English in China & she loves it. The average man is apparently so respectful to women. She did not realize just how disgusting many western men are as we become use to just ignoring it. The West has a lot to learn. Look at how dignified Japan has been with their crisis, if that happened in America you would probably be looting & shooting. Get ready to work for $2 per hour, what makes you think the elite corporations value you more than robots or 3rd world slaves ?
@JezebelDecibel Maybe if American Women were more respectful to American men, more American Men would respect American Women........"Look at how dignified Japan has been with their crisis" They're still waiting to find out if they're all going to die or not before they start rioting and throwing Ninja Stars at each other.
Seriously though, we have had major disasters here in the US and without looting and shooting. The looting and shooting usually happens in the projects
@Twisteddreamer78 Yes both men & women need to practice mutual respect. By the way my girlfriend & I are Australian, so the men we are referring to are Australian. However much the dominant pop culture is about the gangster & the Ho. I am all for sexual freedom as it's vital for the reduction of stress & violence. But there is a difference between sexual freedom & calling most women bitches & Ho's in pop culture. Divide & control is a tool of the elite & its big with gender, race & sexuality.
@JezebelDecibel I know somebody who was teaching in China and just came back. Him and his girlfriend hated it. They were pushed into giving higher marks for kids to get into Canadian High Schools. lol
@pepintheshort100 Yes, I can just imagine that as we have lowered the standard test results here in Australia to up the level of passing grades. Education is a capitalist business. Yes even in China so there is going to be corruption. But, your friends experience in a corrupt place of employment is not necessarily be best reflection of the whole country & it's people. Like America & those weapons of mass destruction. Maybe search at home, but is this corruption the general peoples fault ?
@christpunchers All humans have the same potential. Your are right, the the ego is out of balance in the west. Humility is something we need to learn & never be afraid to say, hay I am sorry, I was out of line. I have been working on higher consciousness for many years & still I make mistakes & I always will. My goal is to just make less & work on becoming a more loving person. Hopefully I will have more time to practice. Women in the west also need to look at how they treat men & other women.
This isn't an old article because the TSA body scanners haven't been out that long. Unfortunately, America has to fail completely in order to change. All I can do is take care of my family and watch it happen.
In the United States our founding fathers did implement individual Unalienable rights (rights that cannot be sold or transferred) in the Declaration of Independence.
"Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of happiness"
Not sure if any of these rights have ever applied to even a small percentage let alone the entire country of China. Those pesky Emperors/Dictators don't seem to like the idea of freedom given to the masses.
Had a friend return from China and He said "Well they treated us Black people in the group. Well like people, it was the damnedest thing. They even spoke of their ancestral migration and African bloodline." I've never heard of Chinese colonization
anyone who takes an honest look at America, will realize this isn't the country he thought it was. Nothing is really what it seems, and unless a radical change is made by whatever means, it will never go back to the way it started. My eyes have certainly been opened up over the last couple years. very sad. The truth is there, wide open to see. Very sad.
@SellMeYourSilver get a grip? i got a grip, and as far as calling me stupid for buying silver @ $12, then im stupid i guess...also, someone may control your pathetic life or you may think someone controls your pathetic life and that's why your pathetic...I'm Proud to be ME yaaa
I don't remember when I read this article, but it has remained stuck in my brain ever since. Currently, I am considering Costa Rica or China as the future for my family. I wonder how the weather is in Southern China.
I'm "American" and I know how to fix my car, wire a home's electric grid, roof a roof, fix my plumbing etc..plus I own Silver and gold, should I feel sorry for being "American" just because a few dumbass (or clever bastards) robbed us and are yet be be held accountable ...maybe, but should I feel ashamed because some foreigner has become accustomed to life in China, and believes it is superior to America, I don't think so buddy..
It would be interesting to see if you can repeat what you just said 10 years from now. Since the heat in the pot has not reached boiling (a frog does not jump out if you slowly turn the heat up and most people do jack as they take away freedom a small amount at a time.) so you can say that now about an ex pat but some how I doubt you will be able to say that 10 years from now.
@hiphopsocnroc That wasn't his point. His point is that China today is like America used to be. Of course you shouldn't feel ashamed. You should be proud that you are awake and others in America aren't. Also, China is more free than 99% of Americans have any concept of. Isn't freedom the basis of life in America? Right, so why is China more free in many aspects than America is?! Seriously, wtf is that? Anyway, his point is that YOU might like living in China now more than America.
@JRCrowley i understood his point, but he made it seem as though ALL people who happen to just so live in a country called "America" have absolutely nothing to offer society, and I strongly disagree with his premise...
@hiphopsocnroc There's nothing wrong with being #2. Just accept it. As Mike Maloney says: remember your cycles. Nobody can stay on top forever. It's China's time. This century and most of the next could very well be theirs to shine. They want to gain (and surpass) everything us gluttons have enjoyed for the last 100 years. Are they not any more deserving to shape their destinies than we were and our predecessors? Maybe India will be next to rise too. Who cares. Enjoy what YOU have.
@rightsideofhistory I really could careless who is on top/bottom; could careless who's "American"/"Chinese"..there is only rich people and poor people...my point was that this expat was judging people from "America" based on his experience in "China" and I find it ridiculous...yaaa
Back in the early 80s, I was in China, Japan, Singapore, and others, and could not believe the things they could do. They where more free than me even then, and contrary to belief, they where damn happy. I suppose it was like it was in the US back in the late 1800s to early 1900s. Looks like we are being fried by raising the heat a little at a time so we do not jump out. You can scream WAKE UP all you want, but no one knows they are asleep. Scares the shit out of me.

what about China's one child policy? It breaks the family WAY MORE than welfare! 4 Grandparents = 1 grandchild (best case scenario)
I think a 2 child policy would make much more sense...
2 parents (Gen 1) = 2 parents (Gen 2)–best case scenario; some people die before they have children, and some children die as well.
China prides itself on it's giant workforce, yet it won't sustain it... It has a half-life at the expense of the family unit!

Wasn't it nice of America to EXPORT all their manufacturing jobs to China.
Now, while China is moving UP, the USA is deterioting down the gutter.
Good job, Reagan, Bush Clinton, Obama.
China is becoming America, and America is becoming China.
That's NOTHING TO CELEBRATE if you're an American.
Nothing like turning back the clock to scru us all.

I've been living in China now for the past two years and in Asia for about three. I can tell you without question that everything Jay wrote about is true. I was amazed at the personal freedom Chinese citizens have. It was completely the opposite to what I had learned in the states. And gold and silver? Yes, retail stores and banks sell it over the counter. There are over 160 cities with 1 million people or more here and the public trasnportation is fabulous. Quality of life....

I found the word "backwards" very intriguing. Not the typical comment of 'sand monkey' 'Hadji" etc..
Actually I just watched this old VHS series on the rise and fall of the Roman empire.I came to the conclusion debasing the currency and running out of places to conquer and pillage was the main catalyst for their end.

Truth is treason in an empire of lies. China is slowly figuring out that freedom is better and America is slowly taking freedoms away to keep you "secure". One day China will allow free speach and America will ban it and at that point only fools will call America the land of the free.

@davincij15 China allows free speech now. If their govt does like what you say they track them down via the Mandatory Chip implant all Chinese Citizens are required to have and they simply KILL them or they will pick them up for one of the Human Organ Donner Program when they have these vans at the airport where their Govt Kills & Harvest the organs in the van at the Chinese airport.

Right, that is truthful as the government of the US hold people with out trial and can do that to any American or non Citizen. America also requires a national ID (google it) card or you can't do anything, the government wants petifiles to work at the TSA to feel up children and rendition innocent people.

At the end of the day I can make up wild accusations about any government that are half truths as well.

This was completely an ideology play and a big gamble by the West which has back fired. They thought they could control/bribe/pressure China while getting them to be a good little capitalist student as with Japan. Now there is no way to put the genie back in the lamp. No one to blame but the moronic Western governments who thought this plan would work.

A girlfriend is teaching English in China & she loves it. The average man is apparently so respectful to women. She did not realize just how disgusting many western men are as we become use to just ignoring it. The West has a lot to learn. Look at how dignified Japan has been with their crisis, if that happened in America you would probably be looting & shooting. Get ready to work for $2 per hour, what makes you think the elite corporations value you more than robots or 3rd world slaves ?

Seriously though, we have had major disasters here in the US and without looting and shooting. The looting and shooting usually happens in the projects

@Twisteddreamer78 Yes both men & women need to practice mutual respect. By the way my girlfriend & I are Australian, so the men we are referring to are Australian. However much the dominant pop culture is about the gangster & the Ho. I am all for sexual freedom as it's vital for the reduction of stress & violence. But there is a difference between sexual freedom & calling most women bitches & Ho's in pop culture. Divide & control is a tool of the elite & its big with gender, race & sexuality.

@pepintheshort100 Yes, I can just imagine that as we have lowered the standard test results here in Australia to up the level of passing grades. Education is a capitalist business. Yes even in China so there is going to be corruption. But, your friends experience in a corrupt place of employment is not necessarily be best reflection of the whole country & it's people. Like America & those weapons of mass destruction. Maybe search at home, but is this corruption the general peoples fault ?

@christpunchers All humans have the same potential. Your are right, the the ego is out of balance in the west. Humility is something we need to learn & never be afraid to say, hay I am sorry, I was out of line. I have been working on higher consciousness for many years & still I make mistakes & I always will. My goal is to just make less & work on becoming a more loving person. Hopefully I will have more time to practice. Women in the west also need to look at how they treat men & other women.

In the United States our founding fathers did implement individual Unalienable rights (rights that cannot be sold or transferred) in the Declaration of Independence.
"Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of happiness"
Not sure if any of these rights have ever applied to even a small percentage let alone the entire country of China. Those pesky Emperors/Dictators don't seem to like the idea of freedom given to the masses.

anyone who takes an honest look at America, will realize this isn't the country he thought it was. Nothing is really what it seems, and unless a radical change is made by whatever means, it will never go back to the way it started.

It would be interesting to see if you can repeat what you just said 10 years from now. Since the heat in the pot has not reached boiling (a frog does not jump out if you slowly turn the heat up and most people do jack as they take away freedom a small amount at a time.) so you can say that now about an ex pat but some how I doubt you will be able to say that 10 years from now.

You should be proud that you are awake and others in America aren't. Also, China is more free than 99% of Americans have any concept of. Isn't freedom the basis of life in America? Right, so why is China more free in many aspects than America is?! Seriously, wtf is that? Anyway, his point is that YOU might like living in China now more than America.

Are they not any more deserving to shape their destinies than we were and our predecessors? Maybe India will be next to rise too. Who cares. Enjoy what YOU have.

Back in the early 80s, I was in China, Japan, Singapore, and others, and could not believe the things they could do. They where more free than me even then, and contrary to belief, they where damn happy. I suppose it was like it was in the US back in the late 1800s to early 1900s. Looks like we are being fried by raising the heat a little at a time so we do not jump out. You can scream WAKE UP all you want, but no one knows they are asleep. Scares the shit out of me.
