China desecrates religious sites near Mt Kailash to deploy surface-to-air missiles



The heavy militarisation of the religious site comes amid Indo-China tussle in Ladakh and coincides with India's road construction to Lipulekh at the India-China-Nepal tri-junction that sparked a diplomatic row between New Delhi and Kathmandu.



hina's enhancement of military facilities near Mt Kailash includes deployment of surface-to-air missiles (SAM) with fresh constructions that started in April this year being completed now, satellite images show.

Not being spared are religious sites, as satellite images show how Kailash Manasarovar, a place of religious importance to Hindus who travel for pilgrimage, now resembles a battle zone with heavy military presence.

Week Ahead: More Equity Records After Dovish Fed; USD Weaker, Gold Stronger



After Fed reversed long-standing policy of strict inflation cap, promising

continued low rates, equities could continue higher

Dollar retests two-year lows

Gold set to retest record, while Bitcoin is on the fence


US equities finished last week by hitting new records and the dollar retested a two year low after the Federal Reserve signaled on Thursday, that it would begin targeting higher inflation, in direct opposition to its previous monetary policy strategy.

According to remarks by Fed Chair Jerome Powell, the central bank will tolerate inflation running higher than the 2% benchmark it's had in place since the Great Inflation of the 70s and 80s, in essence keeping interest rates at historical lows for longer.

The hope is this will encourage spending and investing. And indeed, existing Fed easing appears to have already insured that this will be the best August for equities in 34 years and the best summer of market returns—June through August—since 1938. We're anticipating more of the same this coming week as the rally after the third bear market in two decades continues.

According to their website full year results are due on September 16 when, with all this cash coming in, I think they should restore the dividend at least to it's former glory or preferably higher.

South China Sea: As China deploys bomber, Vietnam briefs Ind ..


With India still locked in a military standoff with China, Vietnam's ambassador

deteriorating security situation in South China Sea (SCS) following Beijing's

deployment of fighter aircraft and a bomber in disputed islands.


While it was described as a courtesy call by diplomatic sources, the meeting saw

the ambassador sharing Vietnam's position with Shringla on the latest flare up in

the region and also expressing his country's determination to advance "strong

Comprehensive Strategic Partnership" with India.

US-China conflict moves into danger zone



In a sharp escalation of the bilateral conflict in recent weeks, President Donald

Trump's administration has taken new steps to hobble Chinese tech champion Huawei,

closed the Chinese consulate in Houston, and sent Health and Human Services

Secretary Alex Azar to Taiwan on the first cabinet-level visit to the island in

six years, among other measures. Caught off guard, the Chinese have countered some

of these actions—for example, closing the US consulate in Chengdu—and are now

thought to be preparing a more comprehensive response. Relations are likely to

continue to deteriorate ahead of the US presidential election in November, and

though still unlikely at this point, the possibility of some type of diplomatic or

military crisis has emerged.

World War 3 panic: Iran captures rival ship and detains crew - two killed in UAE clash

IRAN has seized a United Arab Emirates (UEA) ship and detained its crew for violating its territorial waters


Tehran confirmed the ship was seized on Monday August 17 for violating its territorial waters. Two Iranian fishermen are understood to have been killed in the clash, after the UAE coast guard opened fire on Iranian boats.



The ship’s crew is currently in detention in Iran, the country’s Foreign Ministry announced.

The UAE has since apologised and said it is prepared to compensate Iran for the incident.

Iran state media quoted the official statement: "On Monday, an Emirati ship was seized by the border guards of Iran and its crew were detained due to illegal traffic in our country's waters.

"On the same day, UAE guards shot dead two Iranian fishermen and seized a boat

That Xi has now decided to end the Hong Kong charade once and for all has ominous

implications for Taiwan. China can launch devastating missile strikes against

Taiwan in the first 24 hours of a conflict, leaving Taipei a choice between

surrendering and holding out to see whether the Americans will arrive in time to

prevent total annihilation.


If China can achieve unification, the political and strategic shift in Asia would

be world-altering — especially given the Trump administration’s recent

strengthening of ties with Taiwan. A U.S. failure to prevent Taiwan’s military

defeat and absorption would send shock waves throughout the region and beyond.

Japan, Korea and other regional players would likely rethink their relationship

with the United States. And a China in possession of Taiwan would be poised to

dominate East Asia and the western Pacific as never before, scrambling the entire

global strategic equation.

Satellite images reveal China is building surface-to-air missile site at Mansarovar Lake


New roads have been built and suspected red tents put up at the site, which stands near the India-Nepal-China tri-junction in the Himalayas.


New Delhi: The Chinese military is reportedly constructing a surface-to-air missile site as well as other infrastructure on the banks of the Mansarovar Lake in the India-Nepal-China tri-junction area near the Lipulekh pass, new satellite images have indicated.

An image shared by an anonymous satellite imagery analyst, who goes by the Twitter handle @detresfa_, is understood to be showing a village where new roads have been built and suspected red tents have been put up for accommodation.

The image also shows a surface-to-air missile (SAM) site on the banks of the Mansarovar, which is considered holy in Hinduism. Media reports say China has mobilised a battalion strength of People’s Liberation Army soldiers near the Lipulekh pass in Uttarakhand.



A report by news agency ANI in June had said the Indian armed forces have deployed their advanced very quick-reaction SAM defence systems in eastern Ladakh.

The tri-junction area has been mired in controversy since India inaugurated a new road in May, called the ‘Kailash-Mansarovar Yatra Route’, which almost goes up to Lipulekh Pass at the India-China border, 17,000 feet above the sea level. An angry Nepal responded by issuing a new political map showing the areas of Kalapani, Lipulekh and Limpiyadhura — which are the subject of an India-Nepal border dispute — as part of its own territory.

Gold’s $2,000 surge was a 3-step process and the ride is not over

In current phase, price movements will be dictated by level of speculation than anything

What is happening with gold is nothing short of interesting.


Whereas the rise in gold’s price from its $1,200 per ounce level in December 2018 to its $1,400-$1,700 per ounce level in December 2019 seemed gradual, the most recent surge wasn’t. The latter points to an underlying shift in financial markets and to a growing sense of uncertainty that clouds the world economy.


Such a shift became apparent as the increase in the price of gold took almost two years to manifest into a price per ounce that exceeded $2,000 at the time of writing, with the increase happening over three stages.

The first took place between December 2018 and December 2019, when the price increased by around 20 per cent from its $1,200 levels to $1,400 and over. The increase was the result of a mix of purchases by governments, through their central banks, and by individual and corporate investors. Looking ahead at the time, the world’s economic outlook was anything but optimistic, and diversifying into gold holdings in an era of low and negative interest rates made sense.

The Takeaway

We have to ask ourselves, why are so many experts in the field being completely

censored. Why is there so much information being shared that completely

contradicts the narrative of our federal health regulatory agencies and

organizations like the WHO? Why are these experts being heavily censored, and why

are alternative media platforms being censored, punished and demonetized for

sharing such information? Is there a battle for our perception happening right

now? Is our consciousness being manipulated? Why is there so much conflicting

information if everything is crystal clear? Why are alternative treatments that

have shown tremendous amounts of success being completely ignored and ridiculed?

What’s going on here, and how much power do governments have when they are able to

silence the voice of so many people? Should we not be examining information

openly, transparently, and together?

You can access the full english transcripts on the organizations website if interested.


This group has been giving multiple conferences in Germany, in one of the most recent, Dr. Heiko Schöning, one of the organizations leaders, stated that “We have a lot of evidence that it (the new coronavirus) is a fake story all over the world.” To put it in context, he wasn’t referring to the virus being fake, but simply that it’s no more dangerous than the seasonal flu (or just as dangerous) and that there is no justification for the measures being taken to combat it.

I also think it’s important to mention that a report published in the British Medical Journal has suggested that quarantine measures in the United Kingdom as a result of the new coronavirus may have already killed more UK seniors than the coronavirus has during the peak of the virus.

Below is a press conference held by representatives of the group that took place last month, you can find more important information below that.
