De-Dollarization: Argentina To Pay for Chinese Imports in Yuan

Argentina has announced that moving forward, all Chinese imports will be paid for in yuan instead of dollars, continuing a trend that has witnessed more and more countries across Ibero-America, Asia, and the Middle East settling trade arrangements in national currencies or yuan instead of dollars.

In the announcement, delivered Wednesday, April 26th during a press conference that followed a meeting with China’s ambassador Zour Xiaoli, Argentina’s Economy Minister Sergio Massa said that Buenos Aires aims to pay for around $1 billion of Chinese imports in yuan instead of dollars in April, and thereafter around $790 million of monthly imports will be paid for in Chinese currency, El Diario AR reports.

Why American Life Spans Are Getting Shorter

It’s about behavior more than policy

Americans aren’t living as long as we used to. A child born in 2021 can expect, on average, to live to the age of 76.1. That’s a decline of nearly a year from 2020, according to the CDC, and a nearly three-year decline from 2019. The last time life expectancy was this low was 1996.

Most of the world, of course, saw a sharp drop in life expectancy in 2020, largely because of the Covid pandemic. But while life expectancy rebounded in 2021 in most similarly developed countries, it continued to fall in the United States. In fact, Americans have lived less long on average than their developed-world peers for decades — at least since the 1980s, by some estimates.

Pentagon minions call the U.S. ‘a better country’ now that Tucker Carlson is off the air

The creepy little leakers, planters, and schemers of the Pentagon sprang to life again with news of Fox News’s firing of Tucker Carlson.

According to Politico:

“We’re a better country without him bagging on our military every night in front of hundreds of thousands of people,” said one senior DoD official, who like others interviewed for this story was granted anonymity to discuss a politically sensitive topic.

“Good riddance,” said a second DoD official.

Inside America’s Satanist movement

The largest gathering of Satanists in history is taking place in Boston this weekend. It’s not open to the public. Or, to be more precise, no longer open to the public. That’s because all the tickets have been sold.

The second annual SatanCon is being organised by The Satanic Temple or ‘TST’, the world’s biggest Satanic sect, at the Marriott Hotel in Copley Square. That’s the same Marriott chain founded by a devout Mormon family who, back in the 1960s, only agreed to serve alcohol to guests after securing permission from the president of the Church of Latter Day Saints. As recently as 2018, it advertised its faith by placing 300,000 copies of the Bible and the Book of Mormon in its guest rooms. Now it’s ushering Satanists into its hospitality suites. Is it possessed?

The Chinese Communist Party’s Secret Projects in the US: What Is Going On?

In 2018, the Michigan Economic Development Corporation (MEDC) celebrated “Michigan-China Week” to highlight the growing economic ties between Michigan and China. At the time, Michigan already had more than 300 Chinese companies located in the state, with more than $4 billion in investment, supporting roughly 6,000 jobs. MEDC wanted to publicize this story in its bureaucratic hopes that more Chinese businesses would follow.

The military recruitment drought is a national security crisis

Look at DEI and Afghanistan: is it any wonder our ranks are dwindling?

“Leave no one behind” has been the American warrior’s ethos for decades. It is ingrained in the Army Ranger’s Creed: “Leave no fallen comrade behind.” It is the reason they searched so desperately for Navy Seal Marcus Luttrell, the Lone Survivor, and so many others throughout our country’s history who have been separated from the team in the heat of battle. As a midshipman at the United States Naval Academy, the Marines who trained us beat accountability into us to ensure we take care of our own — always.

Pentagon-Funded Censorship Firm Graphika Began Monitoring Covid “Disinfo” On Dec. 16, 2019 – Two Weeks Before WHO Knew Covid Existed

Graphika, Inc., a small but influential social media monitoring and censorship firm that has received nearly $7 million in grants and contracts from the US Department of Defense (DOD), began tracking online “conspiracy theories” about Covid-19 on December 16, 2019 – just four days after the first patients reported symptoms in Wuhan, China, and two weeks before the World Health Organization (WHO) was even informed about the virus outbreak.

Confidence in Leadership

Military journals report that the United States is preparing to make the Pacific island of Guam a veritable “fortress.”

One suspects no one has used that phrase since the days just before the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor when the United States finally woke up to the fact that the Land of the Rising Sun had every intention of owning the Pacific. History would go on to record that our decision to fortify Guam would come too late as our isolated defenders would eventually be forced to surrender to overwhelming enemy forces. Few would survive their imprisonment.

Biden, Harris officially announce 2024 reelection bid

President Joe Biden formally announced his bid for re-election Tuesday, asking voters to give him another four years as America’s oldest president to help him “finish the job” despite plunging support.

“Every generation has a moment where they have had to stand up for democracy. To stand up for their fundamental freedoms. I believe this is ours,” the 80-year-old president tweeted early Tuesday.

“That’s why I’m running for reelection as President of the United States. Join us. Let’s finish the job.”

The Communist Chinese ‘community centers’ in San Francisco, Nebraska and Houston suspected of secretly working for Beijing

A bland, two-story red brick building is surrounded by a perimeter fence in a nondescript neighborhood in Omaha. Passersby are greeted by a modest billboard that reads: Welcome To Nebraska Chinese Center.

In the heart of San Francisco’s bustling Chinatown, wedged next to a Chinese jewelers and an oriental restaurant, lies the Chinese American Association.

And in Houston, the Chinese Civic Center covers 22,800 sqft of an industrial estate, boasting a function room, library, and dozens of classrooms.

The invisible ‘fox hunt’ taking place in America

Chinese police stations in the USA are a hot topic in the news these days, with two arrests made in New York and six stations claimed in Texas. These, we’re told, were the “illegal” stations. Simultaneously, it’s being reported that there is a “growing number of Chinese migrants arriving at the U.S.-Mexico border seeking asylum.”

But we Deplorables should be sensitive to the scent of weasel words. These stories are always about “illegal” Chinese police stations in the USA, which are characterized as “secret” or “unauthorized.” This language leaves the impression that there may be Chinese police stations in the USA that are legal.

By Commanding Waves of New Electric Vehicles, Is President Biden the New King Canute ?

A new EPA order is intended to force automakers to produce electric vehicles so that they’d account for two-thirds of sales in 2032 — roughly 10 times their share in 2022.

Are we watching a replay of King Canute commanding the waves to recede? That thought occurred to me while reading about the Biden administration’s latest step in advancing the president’s 2021 goal of having half of all new autos be electric by 2030.

The analogy isn’t exact — current thinking is that Canute knew his courtiers were wrong when they said he could stop the incoming tide. And the king was apparently in his 30s, with no sign of cognitive impairment, at that moment by the seashore. But consider it anyway.

The real threat to the 2024 election isn’t AI

Conspiracies are more likely to come from journalists than technology

If you thought the social media elections era was bad, AI is about to cram a new layer of derangement into an already busting system. “AI will be a significant influence in elections,” Elon Musk told Tucker Carlson, on a recent Fox News interview. “People will use the AI as a tool and then if the AI is smart enough — are they using the tool or are they using them? Things are getting weird and they’re getting weird fast.”

Biden Administration Still Negotiating a Secret ‘Deal’ with Iran: As Many Nuclear Weapons as They Like?

Nothing seems to stop the Biden administration from wanting to reward the ruling mullahs of Iran with a nuclear deal that will pave the way for the Islamist regime of Iran legally to obtain as many nuclear weapons as it likes, empower the ruling mullahs with billions of dollars, lift sanctions against their theocratic regime, allow them to rejoin the global financial system and enhance their legitimacy on the global stage.

These benefits presumably include further enabling the regime’s ruthless expansion throughout the Middle East — Iraq, Syria, Yemen, Lebanon and the terrorist groups in the Gaza Strip — and into Latin America.

The U.S. is cracking down on Chinese ‘police stations’ with a tool that Justin Trudeau doesn’t want because it’ll hurt the China grift

American authorities used a legal tool that doesn’t exist in Canada: a foreign agents registry

The United States has launched a crackdown on so-called Chinese police stations operating on its soil using a legal mechanism that doesn’t exist in Canada, at least not yet — a registry of foreign agents.

U.S. authorities this week announced they had shut down what they referred to as a Chinese police station in lower Manhattan.

The criminal charges they laid were against two American citizens who allegedly failed to register their work on behalf of the People’s Republic of China.

Trudeau plays identity politics with our security in order to protect the China grift.

Why is Justin Trudeau sowing confusion about a foreign influence registry?

Asked this week about the need for Ottawa to create a foreign influence registry, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau invoked the internment of Japanese-Canadians in the Second World War and warned against the dangers of creating “registries of foreigners in Canada.”
