If we do, we can find ways to empower and free each other on every level. Capitalism Hits Home with Dr. ...

    Thank you, Professor Wolff. I have to say this if U.S. and China could have even better for both nations either green energy, climate change or economic or research. Now, everything go down the drain. If the U.S. can change the hegemon mentality towards other and this world will become a better world. China a country that been through the humiliation over 100 years or more. They know what it meant to be dirt poor, so the BRI make sense and it's like the silk road how to reach other countries either for development or friendship and win-win situation.

    A😢😢😢😮😮😮 bad & nasty😮😮😢😮😮😮 retired director from General Dynamics, previously worked in San Diego, probably more than 85 yrs old now, is abusing US Gov's monitoring satellite to harass normal US civilians, inside USA & all over the world for his own entertainment & amusement. These remote sensors of the monitoring satellites are capable of interpreting the words you're thinking in your mind, may be, by air vibration or by scanning the brainwaves from your brain. The Israeli IDF are using similar satellite technologies to spy on the Hamas leadership hiding deep inside the Gaza Tunnels. IDF once released footage of these videos in much degraded resolution. This could also have been the way how our intelligence services obtained classified information on Xi Jinping's missile deployment within China. This retired General Dynamics director could have been the mastermind behind the plane crash killing the Secretary of Commerce Ronald Brown of the Clinton Administration, in the plane crash in 1996 in Croatia. The United States as we learned and studied in American high school does not exist anymore; it has been destroyed. United States have been dead. American citizens don't have human rights. This retired Director of General Dynamics is indeed a national disgrace of the United States. If this America disgrace wants to harrass any American civilian, he just puts the name of this American into our Gov. blacklist for monitoring, and he can harass this American civilian. United States must stop this disgrace retired director from General Dynamics. Our Congress should carry out an investigation into our Gov satellite misuse. I am willing to testify in Congress. I can give White House my name and let them check if I have been wrongly put onto the blacklist of terrorists for monitoring, just for some retired director from General Dynamics for his personal amusement and entertainment. I am requesting help here from White House. That's why I'm typing all these. White House can simply remove my name from the list of terrorists being monitored by the American intelligence services. I am the victim of abuse of American monitoring satellites. It's easy to check. White House may check if my name is on the terrorist monitoring list. I am willing to contact White House.

    5/19/2024 I went to Zhangjiajie with my children in 2016, and I was amazed at China's progress. Curiosity led me to study the Belt and Road Initiative, China's annual review and planning assessment meeting, and some of China's five-year plans. Then I said to the children that China will be the leading force for a better future for the world. Today, I am very happy to hear a person with a high social status but no Chinese cultural background say what I see and believe. I hope more and more people can see what you see, and give up their arrogance and prejudice, and work together to build a peaceful and harmonious global village❗️🙏

Should a 300-year-old country teach a 5000-year-old country? Americans should learn to respect, and not create problems to solve on their own. A culture that coerces others, nosy people never end well
