This is the port of Long Beach California. It is the second largest Port in North America, Ahead of the 3rd largest Port of New York, and Behind the largest Port which is the port of los angeles. Roughly 16 million Tons of Cargo pass through this port each year and makes its way to warehouses, factories, and homes, within the United States. This single port which is just 13 square kilometres, is responsible for well over $100 Billion dollars worth of trade and employs over 340 000 people in southern california.

So, it is quite apparent that this port is one of the most vital parts of southern california’s economy. Yet..it is not owned by The town of long beach...California...or even the united states.

You see, in late 1980’s, The port of long beach was sold to a company called Orient Overseas International Limited, which was a company that was based out of hong kong. And at the time, Hong Kong was a British colony and a close economic partner with the United States, so the United States viewed this sale as a win-win, as The Hong-Kong based company would go on to invest billions of dollars, and expand the port on its own...while hundreds of thousands of jobs in southern california would be created from this investment.

And for roughly 3 decades, this was a fairly positive relationship between long beach, and the Hong Kong based company.

But then...in 2017 something happened that put an end to this positive relationship. In July of 2017, The Chinese State Run Company, Cosco, ended up purchasing a 75 percent stake the the Orient Overseas International Limited, and became the new owner of the Hong Kong based company, and therefore the owner of the Port of Long Beach.

Now, even though this probably didn’t make the news because shipping is not exactly the most interesting topic to bring up in the mainstream news...it was important enough for the Federal Government to take action.

You see, a state run Chinese company now owned the 3rd most important port in North America...meaning that the Chinese government had control over one of the key trading points and economic hubs of the United States.

And for the United States government, that was unacceptable citing national security risks. So that is why the government forced COSCO to sell off the port of long beach immediately to a non-Chinese state-run company. And in 2019,  Australia’s Macquarie Group ended up buying Port for 1.8 Billion Dollars. So now technically the port of long beach is owned by a private australian company, which is viewed as a much safer owner in the eyes of the U.S government.


Now if this was just an isolated incident of China trying to buy up an important seaport, than it might be worth ending the video right here. But this is just one of Dozens of cases, where Chinese State run companies have tried buying out the most important ports in the world.

For example, in Hambantota, Sri Lanka there is a port that is in a strategic location just below one of China’s Rivals, India. So in 2017, China was able to buy out a controlling share in the port, largely because the government of Sri Lanka was in debt and needed foreign investment to save its economy.

In 2015, and 2016, Chinese investors bought out a controlling interest in Port Darwin, and a large share of the port of Melbourne.

They control the port of freeport in the Bahamas, just off of the coast of the United States.

And in fact, Chinese companies control ports in virtually every major country in the world, and in the countries where they dont, they typically have 49% ownership of some ports in the country...like in belgium, France, and the United States.

But here is what is what might be the most striking point of this video. All of these ports that are being bought up all over the world by China, have only occurred over the last 10 years.

Meaning that China went from having relatively no ownership of any ports before the year 2010, to becoming the largest owner of the worlds ports today.


 So that brings up the question...why are they doing this, and what are the ramifications of China’s plan?

Well they are doing this because of something they have called the belt and road initiative. This was a plan announced by China in the early 2010’s, with the purpose of having a global development and investment strategy.

Hey Everyone...So i built a new computer and had to learn a new editing program (hence why its been 2 weeks since my last post). If there's any errors or this video is a little choppy, that's my bad. I just need some practice with Adobe. Anyways...

Communism holds that whoever owns the mode of production has true economic power. It only makes sense that if you own the mode of production you would like to control the mode of distribution of goods. Very calculated for the long-term benefit of China competing with the world when you control fundamental economic means of control - mode of production and modes of distribution.

So what? I remember when people cried like babies when a Japanese firm bought the Pebble Beach CC/golf course. It's not like they could move it to Japan, right? So what's the big deal?

I doubt the port of LB will be harmed by the Chinese firm buying it. These types of investments actually free up American money to invest in other places in and outside of the USA.

US strategy is to make china angry, and then if china react to the US provocations, then china will loss all these advantages, because countries will find that their national securities are threaten. So this is the game between US and China and will be continued for several years. Hope it ends up in good way for both and the whole the world and not a catastrophe. I hope there are still wise men at both sides.

Nice and informative video ✅ Well i will also say this here……From the look of things and according to experts in the crypto space. This period the perfect time to buy bitcoin as far as the king of cryptocurrency is protecting the $9,000 resistance level, it will skyrocket and before this happens, it is best you buy and day trade as Hodl is an old and odd strategy of making profits because when the coins drop, you lose your investment.  Bitcoin moving up is inevitable and would see the price of bitcoin surpass it's all-time highs. Irrespective of any market trend encountered as an investor/trader, profit should be made and that's the reason I am currently accumulating and growing my portfolio daily through a crypto trading program with signals provided by Mr Alvin Andres and I have grown my portfolio from 2 BTC to 6.8 BTC  in just 1month of day trading with his strategy. Alvin’s signals and strategies are the best I have used; his signals are accurate, efficient and give you a consistent profit margin. He can be contacted via  WhatsApp +14242131972 and telegram @Top_signal47 for legit insights into bitcoin trading, you won't find everything on youtube.

During Last 3 Decades Western Nations were under the "take Debt and print money" mode, china was building its reserves. So what to do with 3 trillion in reserves compare to 20 trillion in debts. It goes on buying spree. When there is an economic crises, People, Company or government with deep pockets go and buy assets. An when boom comes back, they sell.

The help "we" are hoping for...101-201!
   From a vet, asking all "we" millions of other Veterans, to get organized, to provide a backbone, (for other folks to cling to), into a contingencies management system, for consolidating and coordinating resources... To mechanize and empower demos-kratos within our Republic...
   Like it was once done, at the beginning of this Country... But we got lazy, and let it fade; but, "we" can all, now, bring it into a 21st century context, to restore "We"!  ( Or, dare I say, to finally get our act together, as a strong "democracy" within our republic / representative system!)

   Folk; this system just lays there, unused, because most of the "we" of us don't know it's available to us, and "we" haven't, therefore, learned how to employ it!
    It got lost in progress, as the "musters" / gatherings of purpose, thus, disappeared with them!
   Folks; those gatherings were where democracy lived, within and among neighborhoods, and to far without... (note: for example,  the Committees of Correspondence, between women's groups, and many others...)
   What were they talking about, before... during... after... " Formations"??? (current events, voting, commerce, security, transport, waste disposal, emergency systems, contingencies management...)!?

  ( I recommend, this quickly be instituted into a non-profit, liaison / logistics corp, built on a matrix organizational structure, to assure, neutral / objective services!
      However, we need a "site" to work through; one, "we" will each be proud to be a part of, as borne into members, as "We"!  Globally!!!
      Note: to all who have served in FET, "We" needs you to get us operational... Among all women; and, as well, among the rest of us "poor slobs"!?)

    Call it: [DES-S-S (P/m)]
"Disaster and Emergency Services"  ..... Support ... Systems"
..... ( Projects and Missions )

{"DES" = "Professional Responders"}

{"DES" - Support Systems = the rest of us, with those in DES... =  "we"... becoming... and being... "We"... Potentially!!! = "civil defense!"... The way it's meant to exist! 
   Dare I state; this system is our missing piece; and, this is why "we" individuals feel powerless; thus, when "we" get it "on-line again, "We" will fix issues!}

   Note: FEMA recommends that all communities maintain secondary EOCs (operations centers)!

    "We" can use this...
  To build a...
 "manual back-up system"!

Make it "the 4th Branch"...
... Within the Republic...
... "... for... of... by... !!!"
... Make "we" ... "We" !!!
... This system will help us do our part!

  Also; bolt it, into academics ...
... To match the FEMA goals of Graduate Degrees, in the "emergency management" / (contingencies management) fields!
... In fact, this system must be taught, again, the way it once was... But; in a 21century context!
... It mechanizes and empowers demos-kratos, as a continuous function, of the republic!!!
... Back then, one could be fined, if absent, late, and / or were not properly equipped, regarding "formations" (formal gatherings / "musters").
... Thus; in essence, "democracy" ended up being enforced !
... Tell me, did not "democracy" happen there, among them... whether deliberately, or by chance?

... This system could provide opportunities...
... For all "age groups" , grade levels...
... Preteens... Teens... Young Adults... Adults... Elders...
... (e.g., In- Service Learning, Internships...)

   "A well regulated [contingencies management system] being necessary to the [national security posture] of a free state, the right to [employ a Swiss type system won't be] infringed!"

[ Please note; I've never owned a "firearm"! ... Yet! ]

   Folks; this system is basic human survival... contingencies management...!!!
Dare I state; "We" are dealing with a hell of a lot of contingencies... And; far more coming at us!!!...
In a ship with no steering wheel, at the moment... With an opportunity for those in our engine room, to provide stability... Until "We" get our Bridge figured out!
So to speak!

   To mechanize and empower demos-kratos within a republic!

   Vets are civilians, who happen to have military experience and training...  All of which, are going to waste, and we could change that, quickly!

   For most Vets, that oath we gave, to you and all, tends to rule deep, in the rest of our  lives!

   Vets have proven themselves, honorable and trustworthy, to be "Semper Fidelis" to our Queen... Lady Liberty, and Her ways!
... She needs us... Quick!!!... A basic workable platform... Among us all...!!!
... knowledge, education, training, skills, talents, wisdom.... !!!
... This is our only option, as opposed to "enforcers" ???  if "We" don't fix this... with, the others among us... Neighborhood s...

   (Using the original 1775 systems, as the template, "we" must select our leadership, from the bottom up!!!... "democratically!"
     We Vets won't tolerate anything smelling of tyranny...!!!...  Most of us left the military because we didn't hold with bullies playing with their power!
... "We're" just civilians, who know things!)

And; by the way, FEMA is desperate, for all citizens, to be actively involved, in our Community's "civil defense" system, anyway!
So; ""Welcome!". You're already born into it, whether you like it or not... So; learn it, and use it...!!!

   "We" needs basis neighborhood incident management!
   Mitigation, preparedness, response, recovery!
   Capabilities!!!
   NCB Warfare Recon (nuclear, chemical, biological)
... Detect, contain, monitor, decon!
(Please note: Back in my day, all Marines received basic training in these arenas, while a jungle awaited our turn, in its "feast!")

 For now, and onward, "We" needs the structure of a military system (thus, starting with Vets), to install, a deep sense of professionalism, and dedication... In service to Our Lady Liberty!!!
 
   Vets are a good place to start, to draw all other folks in... Kids... Mom's... Dad's... Elders...!
    (FET; "We" need you! Quick!)

   [This is from my lifetime in "active and passive civil-defense", where I haphazardly found a way to do this, mostly from home, so it will be easy, convenient and perpetual, provided it's done properly... "By the book!".  Folks; in 1989, I volunteered, to be the "Nuclear Preparedness Director", for my area, after having been involved in "civil defense", since my military days. 
   I learned, that no one had a clue!... So; I started digging, and found awesome stuff, which you can use!
    I learned, the only way we'd have a chance, is by calling on Vets, for immediate capabilities, to get folks sheltered, and to maintain mobility, liaison and logistics!
     I learned; if we're ready for something like that, then, we're ready for anything!
      I learned; that people didn't want to hear it... Until... NOW !!!!  This is our opportunity, to fix "We"!
To start from here, and get it right, using pieces from old templates.  We have incredible parts to adopt and adapt!

Most of us "Boomers" are from an age when life got serious... really quick... !!!
... For me, it started when the "Berlin Crisis" pushed a need for ""civil defense" nuke preparedness... shelters with survival gear... food and water stocks...
... Hiding under a desk, or in a dark concrete basement...
... when JFK backed off the USSR, from Cuba...
.... Dallas... when we young folks took one through our hearts, too!!!  And; that huge hole remains... And; in truth, we feel it, every day... Still.... Moreso !!!
... Because, until then, if only for a moment, there was hope... in leadership... for a new course...

 I'm counting on folks like you, to help me to get this word out!

   Note: from FEMA publications... "...civil defense is emergency management."
I prefer; civil defense is contingencies management!
Or, maybe better; civil defense is demos-kratos, through a contingencies management system, within representative government!
"We" can work with these basics, to build something solid, trustworthy, honorable, innovative, and impressive!

I pray to hear from you!  I have 40+ years of stuff folks need!
It's like, I was out fixin fence, diggin a post hole... and there it was!
This needs folks like you!
( Somebody; please... it wouldn't hurt, to get this info the hands of folks like:  Oliver Stone, Michael Moore, Neil Furguson, Ed Snowden, Dana Priest, Biden, Tulsi (FET?), Bernie,  and many many others...
"We" need them all, to make this right!

Folks; we need this system, anyway; so, why not get started, and get it right!
  "We" need a site, and such (made by you educated / experienced folk), to help us connect... Quick!!!

   Folks; I'm convinced this system will help us progress from....
     "we"... ( feeling and being alone, in voice, and person...)...
  ...to...
      "We"  ( getting this system up and running... As a service to seeking truth... For worthy decisions from us... As demos-kratos within a republic... Again!!!)
..... to....
....... Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee...... !!!!!!!!!!

   I propose... Close your eyes, imagine, and spend some time meeting "Lady Liberty", in person...
  And then...
      See how She's doing, come Christmas... as "we" live free, pursuing happiness... Starting with using what is readily available... By the millions... Vets... Scattered throughout neighborhoods...   A place to start... Among professionals... Who know tactics and strategies... Against "foreign and domestic enemies"... Which includes germs, pollution (NBC Warfare), using a template, which was once recommend, by our CIA, for the USA!

With a basic contingencies management system s
   Among us... With us... For us... By us !!!

Standing by!
Give me a system to plug into!
Send me a message, when you have a proposal... A video... On; how we can do this... A system to build on!
Give us some back doors of liaison, between "average folk", so to soften the conflict between Titan governments!

Awesome and very insightful updates👍 Well i will also say this here... Even as the Covid-19 outbreak seems to slow the economy recently, a lot of people rushed into investing in cryptocurrencies due to the recent rise in the value of bitcoin which attracted many investors to the field of digital currencies. However, the road to successful bitcoin trading still depends on trading with a working strategy/daily signals properly backed with guidance provided by pro trader. For me, i have been trading since the last bear market with daily signals provided by Alvin Andres whose strategy/signals yielded great success so far. During my first month of trading i was able to grow my portfolio from 1.2btc to total of 6.8btc which you will say is a very good profits, no time is ever too late to start buying and grow a very strong portfolio ahead of the major bull market.

Revelation 6:15-17 Holy Bible
And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and
the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the
rocks of the mountains; And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face
of him that sits on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb: For the great day of his wrath
is come; and who shall be able to stand?
Galatians 6:7,8 Holy Bible NKJV:
Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth,
that shall he also reap...For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the
flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the
Spirit reap life everlasting.
