Inside The White House's Bitter Fight Over China

As for the president, he has long railed against China and its trade relationship with the United States, calling the U.S.-China trade deficit "the greatest theft in the history of the world." On the campaign trail, he frequently offered tariffs as a way to rebalance trade with China and revive American manufacturing jobs.

"We can't continue to allow China to rape our country, and that's what they're doing," Trump said in one typical speech before an energized crowd at a 2016 campaign rally in Indiana.

Bannon says there was no room for compromise.

The truth will come out in the next 12 months IMO as too many cats are out of the bag and there are several teams of dedicated scientists determined to let the world know.


1 in 3 People Could Develop This Alzheimer's-Like Disease by Age 85

May 6th 2019


The fudge factor is applied as Alzeimer's gets yet another name 'LATE'

This is because the authorities Don't want people to panic by telling them it is a PRION disease





''LATE'' is all about a protein in the brain called TDP-43

I have posted on that earlier in this thread

What a surprise eh

TDP-43 Prions

The most common neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, are all protein-misfolding diseases and are characterized by the presence of disease-specific protein aggregates in affected neuronal cells. Recent studies have shown that, like tau and α-synuclein, TAR-DNA binding protein of 43 kDa (TDP-43) can form aggregates in vitro in a seed-dependent, self-templating, prion-like manner. Insoluble TDP-43 prepared from the brains of patients has been classified into several strains, which can be transferred from cell to cell in vitro, suggesting the involvement of mechanisms reminiscent of those by which prions spread through the nervous system. The idea that aberrant TDP-43 aggregates propagate in a prion-like manner between cells presents the possibility of novel therapeutic strategies to block spreading of these aggregates throughout the brain.


check out my AZN thread

Alzheimer's is a transmissible disease

ie you can catch it from surgical instruments or dental instruments that have not been cleaned properly

also from infected blood,organs from transplants, and in fact just by living with someone that has got the disease ie skin to skin and saliva transmission.

.......... The World is about to get a pig bill to pay ............

Re my previous posts on African Swine Fever in China costing $ 1 TRILLION dollars worldwide, which I later raised to $2 TRILLION dollars.

It now appears that China consumes over 60Kg per person per year of pork.

More than the data I used which was 45 Kg , apparently they can't get enough of the stuff and meat consumption has been going through the roof as people get more money to spend.

I knew that pig prices where on the rise of late due to the culling of millions of pigs in China and now also in other countries, and that this alone was having an effect on the rate of inflation in China, as not only was the price of pork rising , so were ALL other meat and poultry prices in China.

Some US banks and others have run the numbers over the last week and as pork is the largest component of China's consumer price basket, its influence on other meat prices means that a doubling of pork prices in China would boost the country's inflation by 5.4%.

China will EXPORT its inflation problems worldwide ... its what it does.

Soya bean prices have been falling in the US and Brazil, pigs eat soya beans and China is the biggest importer of them. A decimated swine herd in China as Hundreds of Millions of pigs get culled will hit the world market of soya bean production, costs will run into the hundreds of $ BILLIONS of dollars because this will be a 4 or 5 year problem till China cleanses itself of the swine fever virus IF indeed it can.


Hence buywell rises his prediction of total knock on worldwide effects over the above period to $3 TRILLION dollars.

Difficult to disagree with that, Diku, but people may want to see a fully clean FY (being 2019) first? Of course, by then, 12 months down the track, the entry price will probably be a tad higher.

Barc reminds me of SBRY...Sbry shares were around 230p and then came the merger news with Asda and the share price shot up to 330p...long term suffering shareholders got the opportunity to bail out and those who bought in around 230p - 250p made good gains...think a similar scenario could happen with Barc...a merger or a takeover news could send share price to 260p - 280p...I think that trading update news was probably a indirect invitation from possible bidders/merger partners to look into Barc...

IF it comes exel.....we've been waiting a long long time for Staley and others to deliver with little to show for it, if anything.
Personally, I think it needs a complete change of direction and leadership. Someone with a bigger vision than Staley has.

[exel] 03/5/2019 10:44

When it becomes clear that Barclays has indeed turned the corner, if?, as they detailed yesterday, this will inevitably become a bid (& maybe break-up) target with its present (& steadily growing) 266p of TNAV underpinning a growingly profitable business. That may be 1,2,3 or even 4 quarters away? Hard to tell 'when' but the re/rating I expect may be brutal when it comes?

When this finally re-rates, I would expect that movement to be fairly dramatic. Maybe overlay yesterday's agm rns on the last 5 years price graph? Then DYOR.
