Since the 2008 financial crisis, which is considered the most serious financial crisis since the Great Depression of the 1930s, many have not been able to go back to sleep after such a lucid nightmare.
Ah...such bravery and courage not to mention accuracy and integrity. Cynthia , thank you, for sharing your experience and widely well thought through, self knowledge with us.
However the latest game is to keep democracy alive so it can be fleeced of the wealth it generates . Privatize the services of the Government for Parasitic Profits is rampant in Canada.
What about the financial system of China? Is its model, which appears to reverse the polarity of the Westminster-City model, preferable? Is if free from corruption? Is there accountability, and where? Is the extraction-debt model of post-colonial Western banking (eloquently described here) absent from the Belt initiative? I ask because your organizational website gives a glowing appraisal of that initiative, without the rigorous analytics and firm critique evidenced here. That doesn't mean your assessment of the City is incorrect, but it poses the question: is there an agenda between your lines. Is the alternative, the solution, the State Capitalism of Communist China? Perhaps you could clarify your geopolitical perspective.
Just to be clear Alexander, I am not a proponent of pure State Capitalism nor State Communism but rather an economic system that is based on the principles that were discovered through the 'American System' from the school of Benjamin Franklin, Alexander Hamilton and Henry C. Carey and which was later adopted most notably by Friedrich List in Germany which led to the "Zollverein" and Sun Yat-sen the Father of the Republic of China who wrote "The Three Principles of the People" which was inspired by the economic achievements under Lincoln and Carey. You can read more about my thoughts on this in my papers "WHY Russia Saved the United States: The Forgotten History of a Brotherhood" https://cynthiachung.substack.com/p/why-russia-saved-the-united-states and " 'The Special Relationship’: How the British Reconquered the United States and Established an Anglo-American Empire" https://cynthiachung.substack.com/p/the-special-relationship-how-the. As should be somewhat evident at this point, China has implemented the economic teachings of Sun Yat-sen and it is not accurate to claim that China does not have capitalist functions within its economy. The truth of the matter is that there is no word to accurately describe China's economy right now since the words we do have are all inadequate, this includes politically as well, China is best understood as a political structure from the description of a meritocracy rather than simply a communist structure, and there are elements of democracy within a meritocracy. The best condensed presentation I have seen on this is by Eric Li "A tale of two political systems" on TedTalk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s0YjL9rZyR0. Eric Li grew up in China (and lives there now) but studied at Berkeley and thus is familiar with both systems and compares them for a western audience. China does take into account what the people say and it is not accurate for people to claim otherwise. As we can see today, the so-called democracy of the western nations is not stellar, there are a lot of problems with "too much democracy" since it depends on a citizenry that is responsible enough and educated enough to know what is best for them, otherwise it can descend easily into "the rule of the mob", that is, the rule of the ignorant, or a bunch of "yes" sheeple who are ruled by a totalitarian state and don't even know it since they have as Aldous Huxley said enough "bread and circuses". Much of the proper economic foundation the western world had accomplished for itself under the 'American System' was undone, notably with the abolishment of Glass-Steagall and the legalization of a derivates market which destroyed real industry, yet the people were not aware of what was happening around them. This was not the fault of China, this was an internal problem within these countries. As Benjamin Franklin said in response to what kind of government the American people would get, "a Republic, if you can keep it." We have made a video also on how China has banned George Soros, another financial piranha. Soros has dealt a devastating role to the American economy, why are people not calling for the banning of his enterprises that continue to function and gut their country to this day and why have both Russia and China banned Soros, who are apparently not concerned for the welfare of their citizenry (if we are to believe western press). You can watch our video here "How China Banned Soros in 1989" https://cynthiachung.substack.com/p/how-china-banned-soros-in-1989. Lastly, for China's involvement in African development projects, I did a relatively detailed overview of this in my paper "The Real Global Agenda Pushing for War with China" which you can find here https://cynthiachung.substack.com/p/the-real-global-agenda-pushing-for. Matt and myself have also published two volumes on "Breaking Free of Anti-China Psyops" https://canadianpatriot.org/2022/12/03/new-release-breaking-free-of-anti-china-psyops-how-the-cold-war-is-being-revived-and-what-you-can-do-about-it/. In conclusion, I am not discussing China in positive terms (and you should be aware that I also speak of Russia positively) because I am telling everyone they need to convert to their system. This is something that is very problematic in western thinking, they think everyone needs to be just like them or they are a threat. Concerning China's economic system, I have seen no evidence of this not being a benefit to its people and the countries it is in partnership with. China does not even have a history of colonialism. Rather we have a list that would go on for a mile on the American and European infringements to their own people and notably other countries, and a list just as long for the wars they have started, and this is what is now calling for a war with China and we are supposed to believe that this is in our best interests?! I am not for war with China and I am not for continuing the economic looting that the west has been responsible for for centuries. China (in a very close partnership with Russia) is considered a threat today because for the first time since the United States, a country is strong enough to not abide by this system of empire seen in the form of the City of London but dates back to Rome and further back to Babylon. This is how I regard the geopolitical situation of today.
Cynthia, thank you for taking the time to respond, and in detail. I will read your recommendations with interest. However, I am most interested in your final sentence and hope you will elaborate on a historical perspective too long for our ahistorical era.
Cynthia, could you elaborate, or point to prior postings, to clarify you closing comment: "empire seen in the form of the City of London but dates back to Rome and further back to Babylon. This is how I regard the geopolitical situation of today."
As English speakers of English will know, Cynthia's sentence is correct. "Were" in this sentence is the subjunctive, not a past tense, as it is a conditional ("if ...") sentence.
The version of "English" spoken in America is considerably dummed down, with several tenses absent. This is the inevitable result of a significant proportion of the population having learnt it as a second language. For example an English person (one uncontaminated by too much American TV) would distinguish between "have you put the rubbish out" and "did you you put the rubbish out". The first tense carries the implication that it is still possible (the rubbish collection truck hasn't been yet e.g.); the second carries the implication that is no longer possible - if you didn't put it out it's too late now.
The abuses are legion, and somewhat painful for genuine English speakers, watching the ability to speak - and therefore think - clearly being whittled away.
Is there anyone left in the USA who understands what the word "unique" means, or "literally"? There are plenty of synonyms for unusual or distinctive, but, fittingly, only one word for unique.

Another brilliatn essay from Cynthia Chung. Read everything she writes, especially her book, 'The Empire On Which The Black Sun Never Set.'
It is absolutely brillant, that hidden tiny at the same time enormous detail that changes the view of
how money is managed. Can you believe that intelligent people still speaks of lefts and rights?
Brillant!, a new piece of the puzzle to complete the figure, thank you very much for your insights

I thought was a great article
Good summation of our governing rulers.

What a long term view they have!

*penultimate sentence.

Awesome, follow up. Thank you, Cynthia ..
Truly a WordMagician are you Cynthia! Thank you!
(spots are noticed more readily on a perfectly white cloth):
IF these emergency measures were done / ARE done
& this typo, though it renders the sentence grammatically incorrect Still sounds Better! :
And it gets worst.

Excellent as usual...
My first awareness of the City of London was an article in the Unz Review by Larry Romanoff. The link: https://www.unz.com/lromanoff/the-city-of-london/
You may find that the two articles have much in common.
