G7 A USELESS SHOW OF POMP AND BLUSTER
The G7 or Group of 7 leaders from the United States, Canada, Britain, Germany, Italy, France and Japan is getting less relevant by the year, as these countries are steadily being overtaken by China—the largest of the other “Asian economic tigers.” China’s dominance is the fault of the West for granting this communist behemoth “most favored nation” trading status, that led us to become almost totally dependent on Chinese manufacturing. Even Trump’s corporate tax cut did almost nothing to repatriate American companies back home. Our regulatory climate is too stifling to overcome the slight tax advantage this gave them and the economic red tape is getting worse every month with Democrats in charge. China heckled the G7 meeting from the sidelines as it declared that small groups don't rule the world anymore. “The days when global decisions were dictated by a small group of countries are long gone,” said a spokesman for the Chinese embassy in London. About all that’s left with the G7 is the waning prestige, due in large part to a series of US presidents who know little or nothing about free market economics. Joe Biden’s appearance at the meeting in Scotland was seen as the absolute low point in US presence as he was shielded, coddled and propped up on all sides by his staff.

Did you Know?
The Russians are building tremendous new nuclear/biological and chemical weapons systems--all with the assistance of US technology transfers. They are deploying on average, 3 new Topol-M 6th generation ballistic missiles per month. We built our last MX over 10 years ago, and are disarming unilaterally. Further, the Russian are building huge underground nuclear bunkers and weapons production facilities in the Ural Mountains, clearly intended to function during a nuclear war. The US intelligence community (under both Republican and Democratic administrations) knows this and are actively covering for the Russians, so the American people won't become alarmed.
Both Republican and Democratic administrations have been supplying the Chinese with high technology weapons systems for years, knowing that they, in turn, are supplying other enemies (Iran, Iraq, Pakistan, North Korea) as well. Both Russia and China continue to protest against any US anti-ballistic missile system, even though such systems are purely defensive. It doesn't take a genius to understand that ABM systems only threaten someone who intends to launch ballistic missiles someday.
President Clinton directed our military to absorb a nuclear first strike rather than launch on warning (our only true deterrent to a first strike) and to prepare to retaliate afterward. That first strike will take down all command and control, all bombers (since none are on alert), most missiles, and all satellite and submarine communications.
According to the House Armed Services Committee, the following reductions have taken place during the Clinton Administration: Strategic and General Purpose Forces from 1990 to 1997: B-52 Bombers have gone from 220 to 56. B-1 Bombers from 90 to 60; Strategic Defense Interceptor Aircraft from 36 to 0; and Army Divisions (1990 to 1997) have gone from 18 Active down to 10. Reserve divisions have gone from 10 to 8. Army Brigades (1990 to 1997) have declined from 8 Active to 3 and Reserve brigades have gone down from 27 to 18.
Joel Skousen's World Affairs Brief attempts to track the insider moves underlying the major stories you hear each week. The WAB is not a primary news source--but rather, the best source of news analysis. Joel's purpose and strong point is to help you see how world and national events are shaping up in accordance with the secret agendas of men and groups who control government. The World Affairs Brief puts together the probable set of intentions and motives of the power elite by inductively cataloging their specific actions over time.
What will you do about it?
What is the risk to you and your family if there is a major terrorist attack on a U.S. city with chemical or biological weapons? What will you do?
Did you know the US, by policy, will not retaliate on warning of a nuclear attack --effectively removing any deterrent? Are you prepared if the "unthinkable" happens --nuclear war?
Have you considered what you will do if an economic crisis threatens your pensions, investments and other so-called "guaranteed" income?
What about a major earthquake or other natural disaster suddenly upsetting the natural social order for months at a time? Could you get out of harm's way if massive social unrest erupts in the wake of a crisis?
What about your home? Do you have extra tanks of potable water should public water supplies be cut off or contaminated? Would you know how to collect and filter your own water if none was available for a long time?
