My bet is that as in the case of N. Korea, this will not go beyond the skirmish level. Though there are probably some “covert” aspects we are missing, such as rivalry connected to space, gold, Himalayan water and mineral resouces etc.

In complex dynamic systems that reach the critical state, the most catastrophic event that can occur is an exponential function of scale.
This means that if you double the system, you do not double the risk; you increase it by a factor of five or 10.

This coincides with what C.A. Fitts has been saying recently about the increasing likelihood of “crash” events.
This does not mean actual collapse of human interaction for purposes of material-cum-social exchange, i.e. the real economy, but a “virtual shredding” of the derivatives pile. The question is, can human society at least begin to restore…[Read more]-
For the bankster class a haircut to THEIR fees instead of to the bank account of the ordinary person is seen as an event no less catastrophic than an asteroid careening into the Earth.

I would recommend anyone with a minimum of language apt itude to study Chinese or at least have their kids study it. Too hard? Not at all: as my teachers used to say, “It is not difficult, but it is not easy”.

Please don’t take my word for it, do read directly from the texts to understand both Confucianism and The Book of Daode jing (The book of Path and Moral)

If he is Sun Yat-sen’s godson, it wouldn’t be all to surprised, however, my guess is that he could only influence Sun Yat-sen’s government. After Chiang Kai-shek took over Sun Yat-sen’s government, he was doing some kind of Communist extermination, that is why the split of the Song Sisters, the middle Lady Song opposed Chiang Kai-shek’s policy,…[Read more]

Thanks for the comments everybody. I may have used the wrong words in saying I couldn’t read it.

Italian historical re-enactments involve a lot of archery and crossbow compet itions using targets in a public square, sports field etc. However, in practice sessions the archers go into the woods (duly fenced) which is much more fun.
