Sales of Chinese Smartphones Surge in Russia โ€“ media

Chinese brands now make up the majority of Russiaโ€™s smartphone market, having pushed out the worldโ€™s top sellers Apple and Samsung. (Kommersant)

According to the report, Xiaomi sold the most smartphones in Russia last month, with its share - together with the Poco sub-brand - reaching 42%. Realme held 17% of Russia's smartphone market.

Data showed that sales of the American and Korean brands in Russia have decreased by almost 90% since the introduction of Western sanctions. Sales could fall to 10% by the end of the year if parallel imports do not gain momentum, distributors predict.

Itโ€™s tempting to visualize the overwhelming collective West debacle as a rocket, faster than free fall, plunging into the black void maelstrom of complete socio-political breakdown.

Amid Western condemnation, conservative Iranian outlets called the author โ€œSatanโ€ and an โ€œapostateโ€

Western authors and officials have strongly condemned the attack on the Indian-born British-American novelist Salman Rushdie, who was stabbed in New York state on Friday. Iranian media and officials, however, reacted by recalling the reasons that prompted the Islamic Republicโ€™s former leader, Ayatollah Khomeini, to issue a religious edict calling for the writer's death back in 1989.

French President Emmanuel blasted the authorโ€™s stabbing as a...

โ€ŠControlled Opposition, Jesuits and Counter-gangs: Robespierre, Trotsky, Bannon and Miles Guo [The Great Game this Week]
Strategic Culture Foundation (RSS)

By Matthew EHRET

What unites the careers and psychological profiles of Maximilian Robespierre, Leon Trotsky, Steve Bannon and Miles Guo across space and time?

The simplest answer is that all four men were used as controlled opposition designed to lead abused mobs of downtrodden civilians into a complete tearing down of power structures which were themselves targeted for annihilation by a supranational oligarchy.

In this episode of The Great Game, I unpack Steve Bannonโ€™s connection to fascist supranational intelligence operations associated with the highest echelons of the black nobility including Lord Nicholas Windsor, and the late Count Otto von Hapsburg.

This story takes us into the dark story behind the fascist Pan European Movement which Hapsburg managed for over 40 years and which was founded by leading oligarch Count Richard Coudenhove-Kalergi in 1923. The Pan European Movement featured early members such as Benito Mussolini, Young Turk founder Alexander Helphand, financier Max Warburg, US social engineer Walter Lippmann, Roundtable leader Leo Amery and Nazi finance minister Hjalmar Schacht (to name a few).

This organization was designed to promote a system of โ€œbenign feudalismโ€ with a nationalist veneer, but in truth served as a right-wing counter-gang to the supranational League of Nations founded in 1919.

We took an additional look at the deeper subversion of the french state and the murder of Ben Franklinโ€™s leading collaborators during the dark years of Jacobin terror which opened the floodgates for pseudo fascist Napoleon Bonaparte by 1795 and the replication of this strategy of chaos in the fomentation of the neo-Jacobin terror operations of the late 19th-early 19th century led by Trotsky and Lenin who Steve Bannon has openly heralded as his role models.

This entire story helps us understand the true nature of the Jesuits and earlier splintering of the church into warring factions after the League of Cambrai of 1508-1512, but also helps us better understand the role of Chinese Deep State operative Miles Gao, Falun Gong and the Epoch Times today.

โ€ŠDoug Casey on the Push for Global Taxationโ€ฆ and What Comes Next
Strategic Culture Foundation (RSS)

By Doug CASEY

International Man: Last year, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) and more than 130 countries agreed to set a minimum global corporate tax rate of 15%.

Whatโ€™s your take on this push for global taxation?

Doug Casey: They say only two things in the world are inevitable: death and taxes. Both evils, to be avoided. With technology developing at its current pace, letโ€™s discuss the inevitability of death another time. But, unlike death, taxes arenโ€™t part of the cosmic firmament. Theyโ€™re neither necessary nor desirable.

Letโ€™s go back to the basics, define the word in question, and look at the moral concepts that surround the subject.

What is taxation? Itโ€™s actually theft. Why do I say that?

If you look up the dictionary definition of theft, it says, โ€œthe act of stealing, specifically the felonious taking and removing of personal property with intent to deprive the rightful owner of it.โ€

There is no clause that says, โ€œunless youโ€™re the government, then itโ€™s taxation and not theft anymore.โ€ Theft is theft, even if you and a few associates set yourselves up as the government and decide to call it something else. Itโ€™s still destructive, criminal, and immoral, even if you decide the theft is for a โ€œgoodโ€ purpose.

The ideal in a moral society is voluntarism. Coercion is kept to a minimum. It certainly isnโ€™t institutionalized and made part of the cultural fabric. If funds are needed or wanted, no one has a right to hold a gun to someone elseโ€™s head and steal them.

How you think and feel about the subject of taxation is a reflection of your worldview, your ethical makeup, and your essential character. Do you prefer voluntary exchange or coercion? Of course, coercion is the essence of government. Thatโ€™s why government should be limited to the greatest degree possible.

In that light, itโ€™s very disturbing that 130 national governments have already endorsed the notion of a 15% minimum tax. Why arenโ€™t they, instead, talking about a 15% maximum tax?

If this destructive idea is implemented, at best, weโ€™re going to wind up another layer of bureaucracy to administer worldwide pork barrel spending. Those who are already rich, the politically connected, and the apparatchiks will be huge beneficiaries. Society at large will suffer a big drop in the standard of living.

This trend is evil, destructive, and unnecessary. It should be fought against, not just because it will slow, distort, or even destroy the world economy. Taxes degrade everything, as does any form of theft. But taxes shouldnโ€™t be fought with practical or economic arguments; they should be fought primarily on an ethical and a moral basis.

International Man: So far, the US government hasnโ€™t signed on to the OECD deal even though Secretary of Treasury Janet Yellen has strongly supported the creation of a minimum global corporate tax rate.

Do you think American companies and citizens will eventually be under the yoke of a global taxation regime?

Doug Casey: Yes. Thereโ€™s always been a move towards world government on the part of a certain type of personโ€”the kind who thinks they know whatโ€™s best for everyone else. Busybodies who are willing to use force to ensure you do what they think is right. Itโ€™s a disastrous idea. These people are the enemies of individualism, liberty, free markets, and Western values in general. Theyโ€™re actually antihuman.

The ideal isnโ€™t one world government but the opposite. Something as close as we can get to seven billion individual governments where everyone is...
