You need context.
What is there role, what are the doing with the USB, what is on the USB.
Just cant say there it is. Proof.

I would be so pissed if my vote was changed or discounted due to someone saying I see an issue.
By all means check and test that issue but on face value it means nothing.
 
The USB's are in machines connected with the election counting, they're removing them and sneaking them out of the room, that isn't supposed to happen.
It is proof of shit going on. What exactly, outside of something that shouldn't be I can't say. But it certainly is proof of missdeeds.
Just as the votes pulled out after everyone left the room is.
Undeniable evidence of fuckery.

When was this discovered?
I would have imagined that Rudy and his team have or will take it to court if it is credible.
 
They are spending big money expanding into India even during the pandemic. All sectors, banking, telecom, tech. I've almost never seen anything like this. Worldwide FDIs and projects are mostly scaled down due to pandemic, while they are charging into India at full steam. I'm aware of some of the tech project, many are not even announced on the media so it's not just propaganda.

India approves merger of Lakshmi Vilas Bank with DBS unit

MUMBAI (REUTERS) - The Indian government has approved the merger of crisis-hit Lakshmi Vilas Bank (LVB) with the Indian unit of South-east Asia's largest lender DBS.

LVB was placed under a moratorium earlier this month after a serious deterioration in its financial health. The moratorium will be lifted from Nov 27 once the amalgamation comes into effect, after which, all its branches will function as part of DBS.

"Customers, including depositors of the Lakshmi Vilas Bank Ltd will be able to operate their accounts as customers of DBS Bank India Ltd with effect from November 27, 2020," the central bank said in a notification on Wednesday (Nov 25).

No quarantine on disembark.

Everywhere you go, you need to sign in, sign in once when enter the mall, sign in enter into every shop, and some of us carry the bluetooth token, some use the app. I have the app and the token. I suspect the token will replace the app when they have acquired the pieces for everyone. Maybe I should uninstall the app and disable my bluetooth?

I'm pretty sure there's a boost for manufacturing for pandemic stuff, but whether you can make money out of it is another matter. It costs a lot to setup automated production lines to manufacture even the most basic face masks and the price the end product can fetch is dropping quicker than the virus spreads. For plastic gadgets, you need plastic moulding and stuff. The pandemic won't last very long and most probably the factories can't recover their costs. In other words, the manufacturing boost is only temporary.

The ones that are really making money are the ones that supply the basic raw material, software and factory automation equipment suppliers.

UK signs free trade agreement with Canada, Japan and Singapore. A deal with India is in discussion. A deal with Singapore would mean a deal with Malaysia and Indonesia as a lot of trade goes through Singapore port.

The headline is over-blown and somewhat misleading. The UK and Canada signed the UK-Canada Trade Continuity Agreement. Described by the British government as a “stopgap,” the deal announced Saturday rolls over existing trade agreements between the U.K. and Canada, and opens the door to negotiations in 2021 on a specific UK-Canada trade pact.

In other words, the UK and Canada have agreed to continue trading under the same terms as the current RU agreement after the Brexit transition period ends until a new trade deal is struck.
 
True, but you need to make a first step first. Why spike Germany on the face by having an even better agreement right at the beginning. Having a similar agreement itself is bad enough. The EU being a much bigger boy in town is suppose to have more bargaining power and therefore should have a better deal than what individual countries deserve. Anyway the real point isn’t even the free trade agreement. It’s about political alliance and support for BREXIT.

Just like the UN, the EU has been compromised, poltiicians bought. Better for the UK to get out of the black hole. The Brits are smart people.

US hits Search and Destroy against the New Silk Roads https://thesaker.is/us-hits-search-...2e7w3Cui0Wws7SewOk205IEi1eZuA5XyC32iR2PezyDpc

By Pepe Escobar posted with permission and first posted at Asia Times.

Seven years after being launched by President Xi Jinping, first in Astana and then in Jakarta, the New Silk Roads, or Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) increasingly drive the American plutocratic oligarchy completely nuts.

The relentless paranoia about the Chinese “threat” has much to do with the exit ramp offered by Beijing to a Global South permanently indebted to IMF/World Bank exploitation.

In the old order, politico-military elites were routinely bribed in exchange for unfettered corporate access to their nations’ resources, coupled with go-go privatization schemes and outright austerity (“structural adjustment”).

This went on for decades until BRI became the new game in town in terms of infrastructure building – offering an alternative to the imperial footprint.

The Chinese model allows all manner of parallel taxes, sales, rents, leases – and profits. This means extra sources of income for host governments – with an important corollary: freedom from the hardcore neoliberal diktats of IMF/World Bank. This is what is at the heart of the notorious Chinese “win-win”.

Moreover, BRI’s overall strategic focus on infrastructure development not only across Eurasia but also Africa encompasses a major geopolitical game-changer. BRI is positioning vast swathes of the Global South to become completely independent from the Western-imposed debt trap. For scores of nations, this is a matter of national interest. In this sense BRI should be regarded as the ultimate post-colonialist mechanism.

BRI in fact bristles with Sun Tzu simplicity applied to geoeconomics. Never interrupt the enemy when he’s making a mistake – in this case enslaving the Global South via perpetual debt. Then use his own weapons – in this case financial “help” – to destabilize his preeminence.

Hit the road with the Mongols

None of the above, of course, is bound to serenade the paranoid volcano, which will keep spitting out a 24/7 deluge of red alerts deriding BRI as “poorly defined, badly mismanaged and visibly failing”. “Visibly”, of course, only for the exceptionalists.

Predictably, the paranoid volcano feeds on a toxic mix of arrogance and crass ignorance of Chinese history and culture.

Xue Li, director of the Department of International Strategy at the Institute of World Economics and Politics of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, has shown how “after the Belt and Road Initiative was proposed in 2013, China’s diplomacy has changed from maintaining a low profile to becoming more proactive in global affairs. But the policy of ‘partnership rather than alliance’ has not changed, and it is unlikely to change in the future. The indisputable fact is that the system of alliance diplomacy preferred by Western countries is the choice of a few countries in the world, and most countries choose non-aligned diplomacy. Besides, the vast majority of them are developing countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America.”

Atlanticists are desperate because the “system of alliance diplomacy” is on the wane. The overwhelming majority of the Global South is now being reconfigured as a newly energized Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) – as if Beijing had found a way to revive the Spirit of Bandung in 1955.

Chinese scholars are fond of quoting a 13th century imperial handbook, according to which policy changes should be “beneficial for the people”. If they only benefit corrupt officials, the result is luan (“chaos”). Thus the 21st century Chinese emphasis on pragmatic policy instead of ideology.

Rivaling informed parallels with the Tang and Ming dynasties, it’s actually the Yuan dynasty that offers a fascinating introduction to the inner workings of BRI.
