Get StartedZerohedge had some street cred for a while, but blew it up by also including the
wacky youtube video crowd.
Like "Hey, I came here for the criticism of Wall Street & Treasury & Fed corruption underlying the mortgage crisis and bailout. Why are you screaming that I need to buy gold and telling me Obama is the anti-christ?"
Watched the first episode just to see what all the fuss was about p, found it disturbing
Squid Game has become Netflix?s most watched show ever after hitting 111 million views less than a month after its release.

There's a storm on the horizon
100k Russian troops on Ukraine boarder. My guess is China hits Twain at the same time Russia invades Ukraine.

you spelled "Border" incorrectly as well. Kinda surprising for a Trump fan who spent 2017-2020 crying about the US/Mexico border.

WASHINGTON, Dec 14 (Reuters) - The U.S. House of Representatives passed legislation on Tuesday to ban imports from China's Xinjiang region over concerns about forced labor, part of Washington's continued pushback against Beijing's treatment of its Uyghur Muslim minority.
The measure passed by unanimous voice vote, after lawmakers agreed on a compromise that eliminated differences between bills introduced in the House and Senate.
The House last week passed its version of the bill, but that measure failed to advance to the Senate. But the Senate is expected to pass the compromise version as soon as Wednesday, sending it to the White House, where President Joe Biden has said he will sign it into law.
"The Administration will work closely with Congress to implement this bill to ensure global supply chains are free of forced labor, while simultaneously working to on-shore and third-shore key supply chains, including semiconductors and clean energy," White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said in a statement.
I would literally rather stand on a dock completely garbed in rubber and wash sea water off of squid, that had just been pulled from the ocean onto a squid boat, enduring freezing seaside temperatures, than to watch even a microsecond of this stupid fucking television show.
Yeah, I'm sure in today's global economy that economic sanctions placed upon Russia and/or China put the ultimate fear into the leaders of those 2 nations.
FDR should have kept every American asset out of both those nations, allowing Russia to be taken by Germany and China by Japan. The gratitude toward the US since WWII has been such that saving them was not to our benefit at all.
One day, I would really enjoy seeing the potential alternate universe ways it would have played out. No Cold War, no conflict in Korea or Vietnam, considerably lower populations in those regions and less detriment to the environment from their careless unregulated ways. Probably no Covid also.
Of course the biggest benefit would be Champ wouldn't have idols to worship.
goddamn, you're a straight up fascist!
LONDON, Dec 17 (Reuters) - Amazon.com Inc was marketing a collection of President Xi Jinping's speeches and writings on its Chinese website about two years ago, when Beijing delivered an edict, according to two people familiar with the incident. The American e-commerce giant must stop allowing any customer ratings and reviews in China.
A negative review of Xi's book prompted the demand, one of the people said. "I think the issue was anything under five stars," the highest rating in Amazon's five-point system, said the other person.
Ratings and reviews are a crucial part of Amazon's e-commerce business, a major way of engaging shoppers. But Amazon complied, the two people said. Currently, on its Chinese site Amazon.cn, the government-published book has no customer reviews or any ratings. And the comments section is disabled.
Amazon's compliance with the Chinese government edict, which has not been reported before, is part of a deeper, decade-long effort by the company to win favor in Beijing to protect and grow its business in one of the world's largest marketplaces.
An internal 2018 Amazon briefing document that describes the company's China business lays out a number of "Core Issues" the Seattle-based giant has faced in the country. Among them: "Ideological control and propaganda is the core of the toolkit for the communist party to achieve and maintain its success," the document notes. "We are not making judgement on whether it is right or wrong."
That briefing document, and interviews with more than two dozen people who have been involved in Amazon's China operation, reveal how the company has survived and thrived in China by helping to further the ruling Communist Party's global economic and political agenda, while at times pushing back on some government demands.
In a core element of this strategy, the internal document and interviews show, Amazon partnered with an arm of China's propaganda apparatus to create a selling portal on the company's U.S. site, Amazon.com ? a project that came to be known as China Books. The venture ? which eventually offered more than 90,000 publications for sale ? hasn't generated significant revenue. But the document shows that it was seen by Amazon as crucial to winning support in China as the company grew its Kindle electronic-book device, cloud-computing and e-commerce businesses.
