📵 🇨🇳 🇺🇸 China says it identified security problems with iPhones

China hits back over US sanctions on Huawei. The timing is not accidental, it is the moment when Huawei exploded with the new Mate 60 Pro, which is completely domestically produced.

So the USA has Apple, China has Huawei and China is declaring war on the USA in the smartphone and technology market.

It is also an unforgettable fact that China, one country, represents about a third of all Apple's net sales.

The US decision to sanction Huawei, chips and related technology has DIRECTLY led to Chinese consumers turning to Huawei's new, amazing, Huawei Mate 60 Pro. Consequently it's leading to Apple's losses.

🇨🇳 🇹🇼 🇯🇵 In the South China Sea, China is pressing ahead with large-scale and rapid land reclamation and promoting the militarization by setting up military facilities such as batteries, runways for takeoff/landing by fighter jets and bombers, large ports capable of accommodating surface combatant ships. Unilateral changes to the status quo by force and efforts to create a fait accompli are progressing.

🇺🇸 When our society needs to find a murderer, we send out the white men with guns.

Whenever we want to portray law enforcement doing dangerous things on TV, they’re maybe 25% at most.

Society functions because we compartmentalize the lies.

The Homeland Institute is proud to announce the results of its second poll which was conducted late August through early September of 2023 on the topic of the Great Replacement.

We found that 59.4% of Republicans said they had not even heard of the Great Replacement theory until they were polled, but 62.4% nonetheless at least slightly agreed with the Great Replacement theory once it was succinctly explained to them.

We also found that white Republicans who are opposed to preserving the white majority in America are vastly outnumbered by white Democrats who feel that it is at least slightly important to preserve the white majority.

But most importantly we have hard data on how people are learning about the Great Replacement, broken down by party affiliation and age.

☣️ 🇺🇸 💥 Explosion at Union Pacific railyard in Nebraska prompts evacuations because of heavy toxic smoke

🔶️ An explosion inside a shipping container at the world’s largest railyard prompted evacuations in western Nebraska Thursday because of the toxic smoke generated when one of the chemicals aboard caught fire.

🔶️ Around noon, an explosion occurred inside an intermodal container on a railcar at Union Pacific’s Bailey Yard in North Platte, though it wasn’t clear what caused the explosion, railroad spokeswoman Robynn Tysver said. No one was injured, and no cars derailed.

🔶️ Authorities evacuated everyone within a four-mile radius of the railyard, which is about 280 miles (451 kilometers) west of Omaha, was evacuated because of the smoke, and U.S. Highway 30 was closed between North Platte and Hershey. Interstate 80 wasn’t affected by the smoke. North Platte has a population of about 23,000.

🛢 🌐 World per capita oil peaked 70s.

Conventional peaked 2006.

-extra heavy crude probably 2018

+extra heavy crude maybe still 2018 (although possibly late 2020s).

Total liquids probably w/in the decade.

This is not due to people simply not ‘demanding’ oil enough or due to financial wizardry, it’s due to brute facts about geology, discoveries, EROI, and diminishing returns.
