GREENLAND:  US, Denmark and Greenland signed a defense pact that allows the US to build 2 more bases on the island.  One in the south and another on the east coast.  The purpose is to deny Russia and China any ability to continue research and drilling in the Arctic. Greenland does not own the Arctic. It’s agreed ownership is based on territorial waters of the surrounding countries which includes:  Russia, Alaska/US, Greenland, Denmark, Norway, Canada, and Iceland.  Building military bases on the Island could take years before they are operational.

There is also the capability of Russian ships to traverse the Arctic Sea given melting ice, which would dramatically cut transit time of Russian cargo ships and oil tankers trading with Europe and Canada – lowering prices.

Given Trump’s riff with Canada’s Mark Carney amidst heavy tariff rates, Canada has reached out to expand trade with China and by default – Russia. While Carney emphatically claims that free-trade with China is not in his focus, he did lower tariffs on Chinese vehicles from 100% to 6%. In alliance, China agreed to lower tariffs and open trade on agriculture and farm products – such as fertilizer.  Baby Steps – but steps nonetheless.

Pituffik, the one acting base on Greenland costs roughly $329 million annually and has already been slated for a $500 million upgrade. It also forced out current residents of the area requiring them to be ‘relocated’ involuntarily. What do these troops do all day?  Shovel SNOW and maintain ‘survival’. That’s IT!

While Trump attempted to sell US weapons to China during Xi Jinping’s recent visit, the entire point of the US presence on Greenland is to deter – China. The hands of the Magician.  The Pentagon manages roughly 350,000 active contracts annually worth $1.8 Trillion.  These are not internal contracts within the field of government workers, these 350,000 are all externally derived in addition to the Pentagon budget that isn’t a budget but more like an all-you-can-eat buffet. Trump is simply adding more to a pot that has already overflowed and flooded the sewage system.

Money appears via a magic wand – a fairy godmother dressed in black and wearing a pointed hat standing on a pile of money. 

Daily reports include Trump will eradicate Iran. Trump owns the Strait of Hormuz. Trump will bomb Cuba. Trump will coup Brazil. Trump to extend bombing of Nigeria. Trump will rebuild Gaza. But it’s all Biden’s fault. Blame. The political mechanism born of the Adam Syndrome – it’s Eve’s fault. Meanwhile the east coast is flooding and Trump is nowhere to be found. Data Center Debt is languishing as its due dates come and go. And the newest measure boasted by Trump Puppeteers: “Business Activity is at An All Time High”.

How is Business Activity measured?  Somewhat similar to the GDP.  First it is computed using ‘goods and serves’ despite it being impossible to measure services.  Second it includes government purchases including weapons contracts, Data Center obligations, Air Force II, Ballrooms, etc… Third, it measures economic activity from the perspective of the incomes earned by participants in production – as in CEO’s making $22 million salaries.

America’s statistics are a macro/micro nightmare. Agencies don’t know how to create algorithms or statistical measures because they are trying to insert their law degree into a financial equation – and out spits the word “PLUG”.  Hence not one Federal Agency can pass an audit. And outstanding contracts are two to three times the entire budget.

What to do?  Spend More Money to distract from the last spending spree of money that we don‘t have while starting more wars using weapons that now have a backlog of production upwards of six years.  But – it’s all Biden’s fault. 

REALITY: Brent crude is still over $104 and according to the Hormuz Strait Monitor of all transit – 1 ship got thru over the last 24 hours.  210 are idling. Trump wants to escort every ship and charge them a transit fee of $2 million. Another Tariff. Born by Americans as the cost of goods sold doubles and nominal inflation spikes to 22%. The GDP will measure this as 5% growth to play pattycake with the American People while arbitrarily assigning inflation as 3% to create the illusion of prosperity.

The Problem?  Real Facts and Real Statistics can still be accessed. The Lies can be proven Lies within minutes. And the propaganda only further deepens the absurdity of Trump and his closest comrades of psychosis. 

Are their solutions to this Dung Heap?

1. Make a Deal with Iran. Give them their transit fee to rebuild what Trump destroyed. The only country threatening to use a nuke is America.
2. Redirect ALL military troops and spending toward rebuilding America’s collapsed infrastructure.
3. Make government HR and finance mirror the average American – 50% of employees will leave of their own accord. Cancel All Pensions.
4. Given Contractors are already running the country, make them financially accountable. Open Books. Audits. Fair Bidding. Any agency or contractor that can’t pass an external audit gets no more money. No more contracts – ever. One slip – you are gone.
5. Release ALL Sanctions. Open Free Trade – if you can’t compete, do something else.
6. Shut down the CIA and all but one of the other 17 Intel agencies. We get our Intel by Contractors anyway – government is thus useless.
7. Lobbying is illegal.
8. The value of all US Billionaires is over $8 Trillion. Annual Flat Tax 20% on wealth – just like property taxes. Any escapees go to Guantanamo – no pardon potential ever.
9. Universities must spend their endowments on education – not assets and be subjected to annual audited reviews of scores based on a Chinese model of intellectual capacity. Once their endowments are $-0-, they can prepare a business plan and submit it for evaluation for capped funding.
10. Troops MUST be put to work on America – instead of War. The PLA (Chinese Military) has been doing this for decades. This is why China’s infrastructure is so much more spectacularly advanced than ours.  They actually make use of their military giving them intellectual purpose and pride in their country.
