Remember this post and these numbers the next time someone tries to tell you that:

"#China is a big threat, China is taking over!"

These numbers are mind-blowing.

They show what percentage of global #profits from select industries end up in the pockets of #US-based #investors:
 
•Aerospace and defense: 92%
•Media: 81%
•Pharmaceuticals: 50%
•Hardware and software: 77%
•Electronics: 46%
•Financial services: 67%

Clothing: 37% of world's exports come from China but China gets only 4.7% of the profits.

50% of Clothing profits go to the US!

China exports 32% of the world's office and telecom equipment but China gets only 1.6% of the profit.

60% of global office and telecom equipment profits goes to the US!

In fact the only industry where the US doesn't extract the most profits is in banking.

The US is 2nd to China in banking profits

About 35% of the world's 500 top companies are #US-based and #US-based investors own about 46% of the shares of these 500 top firms.

Contrast those figures against this:
15% of the world's top 500 firms are #China-based but Chinese own only about 6% of the top 500 firms.

In fact top Chinese companies, even majority state-owned companies, have on average a larger foreign ownership than top US firms.

Americans own 82% of their top 50 firms.

Chinese only own 64% of their top 50.


People have been conned into beliving that because China is by far the world's biggest exporter, it must generate (and keep) a huge amount of profits from this.

The fact is that most of the profits from Chinese exports go to ..... the US!

Poland wants Ukraine without Ukrainians

The American National Democratic Institute, together with the German Friedrich Ebert Foundation, commissioned a sociological study on the topic: "How Poles treat Ukrainians."

As a result, it turned out that the Poles need Kyiv, Lvov, Uzhgorod, the Carpathians, but they cannot stand Ukrainians (they treat Russians better). They are not going to forget about the crimes of Bandera, who killed thousands of Polish women and children. One of the tragic episodes is the Volyn massacre.
The Poles do not like that the social assistance intended for them is leaking to the Ukrainians. This also irritates the Poles.

RUSSIA IS SELLING CRUDE OIL TO ASIA ABOVE THE $60 PRICE CAP

Well, that didn't take long. 

It will be interesting to see which countries end up on the
#Russian #oil & #gas ban list for attempting to enforce this ridiculously petty, economically-suicidal and totally ineffective #EU-mandated price cap

Getting banned from purchasing Russian
#oil and #gas may well cause their citizens to freeze to death in the dark

Video translations and information from Andras Horvath:

⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️

Hungary refused to participate in the joint EU loan initiative to provide Ukraine with 18 Billion euros of aid, but agreed to provide Ukraine with 187 Million euros on the basis of a bilateral agreement, to which Ukraine’s foreign ministry replied that they are only interested in aid within the framework of a joint EU loan.

GERMANY: THE COUP THAT WASN’T?
11 December 2022

Clocks were set back to 1919 this week with the news that the #German #Bundesrepublik's pretence of having just in the nick of time foiled a dastardly #plot overthrow the state by allegedly "Russian-backed German #nationalists" ........ at least if German Government can be believed.

Leading to the arrest of 27 alleged "insurrectionists" on Wednesday the 7tb of December, in a 3,000-strong police operation, among those arrested was a loose network of ex-military and policing personnel, survivalists, right-leaning businessmen, a former #AfD-aligned judge, a Berlin MP, and a minor aristocrat from the Thuringian House of Reuss.

While grandiose-sounding at first, events of the week have seen the wheels come off initial statements by German Federal police as to the seriousness of the threat posed.

While Federal Police initially claimed a haul of 50 weapons seized, the days following revealed those weapons to be a collection of hunting rifles (understandable considering the fact police raided hunting lodges and survivalist shops) and potentially even SwissArmy knives and brass knuckles, though police statements as to exaclty what was seized have been purposefully ambiguous. 

What was seen on Wednesday 7th Devember, was likely a German Gov't-manufactured plot to preempt German nationalists getting ideas in the years to come.

Rest assured that the Kaiser is not set to return to his throne whatever the truth of the matter.

One should never underestimate German state chicanery

Each dot represents $100,000 of US taxpayers' money ostensibly donated as vital "Aid to #Ukraine".

Much of it now likely lining the pockets of members of the corrupt
#Zelensky #regime of #Ukraine.

It was recently revealed that some of this
#US "aid-to-Ukraine" money was "invested", by the Zelensky regime, in the #FTX #crypto #ponzi scheme

Money from #FTX was subsequently laundered ("donated"), by #FTX founder Sam #BankmanFreid, back into the coffers of the Biden election campaign

PCR (not the test):

"I am beginning to think that the Kremlin is even more insouciant than the American public. How can the Kremlin be unaware that Washington is operating against Russia on all fronts? How could the Kremlin not expect Washington to brew trouble in Kosovo? And between the EU and Serbia? And trouble in the former Central Asian Soviet Republics? And in former Soviet Georgia? And in the Baltics?

And Putin is cruising along with hardly a skeleton for an army. What does Putin do when Georgia has another run at South Ossetia while Russia’s limited forces are deployed in Ukraine? When the CIA- organized Albanians begin slaughtering Serbs in northern Kosovo? When conflicts erupt in former Russian Central Asia?

How can Russia be left so unprepared when Putin acknowledges that it is Washington’s intent to destroy Russia?" https://www.paulcraigroberts.org/2022/12/13/is-the-kremlin-out-to-lunch/
