These business deals and political policies result in lots of blowback, but the UK oligarchy and its loyal servants surround themselves with elite protection, luxury, and legal privileges while they try to pretend they are super important for the progress of humanity. The commoners are given the leftovers, and they do not know they are sacrificial pawns. Thus, commoners in the UK and the rest of western Europe constantly suffer terrorist attacks and dysfunctional behavior from African immigrants and Middle Eastern immigrants.
The situation is even more corrupt and incompetent in Saudi Arabia. Without abundant oil and gas, Saudi Arabia would be a medieval desert kingdom of zero to minimal global influence. Because the Saudi regime exports lots of gas and oil, the Saudi regime is very wealthy and easily buys influence around the world. This is why you do not worship money and consumerism gone wild. In reality, money is only a tool that excels at the facilitation of trade, but it is only a very simple indicator of value. Unfortunately, money-junkies control our central banks and major corporations in every nation. Our government officials, bureaucrats, judges, lawyers, and politicians worship regulatory double-standards. Legally cheat the rules to increase your probability of success.
Central bankers, major corporate managers, and government officials use insider deals and revolving doors between private organizations and public institutions to monopolize entire nations (or at least try to): “Jared Kushner [who is President Trump’s son-in-law and top advisor] Tried and Failed to Get Half-Billion Dollar Bailout from Qatar” (https://theintercept.com/2017/07/10/jared-kushner-tried-and-failed-to-get-a-half-billion-dollar-bailout-from-qatar/).
In 2007 (which was the height of a record real-estate bubble), Jared Kushner (Zionist Jew) bought a 41-story building at 666 Fifth Avenue in New York City (side note: 666 is the magic number of Satan who leads the synagogue of Satan), and his investment allegedly lost hundreds of millions of dollars, thus, Jared Kushner has been looking for national and international investors to bail out his extravagant incompetence and corruption. Jared Kushner has spent months during and after Trump’s presidential campaign to persuade Qatari investors, Chinese investors, and other investors to bail out his financial calamities.
After Trump won the most expensive presidential reality show on this planet, Jared Kushner tried and failed to convince his business and/or political partners to magnify his atrocious real-estate deal from hundreds of millions of dollars to at least $7 billion, partly because the Democrat Party complained about conflicts of interest involving Jared Kushner (business con-artist, son-in-law to the Donald Trump, and top adviser to the US president), Donald Trump (business con-artist and US president), and China’s business/political managers (a.k.a., China’s ruling class).
Without major support from China, Qatar’s rulers also backed out of Jared Kushner’s real-estate scam. Then President Trump and the US empire’s sidekick, the Saudi regime, began to accuse Qatar of being a terrorist-supporting nation. Then the Saudi regime and its satellite states sanctioned Qatar. This is very hypocritical, because the empire of the Zionist US kleptocracy supports terrorist rebellions in Libya, Syria, and Ukraine, and the US empire supports oppressive regimes in Saudi Arabia, Yemen, and Israel, and this oppression creates terrorist rebels. The US empire’s attempt to install proxy regimes in Iraq and Afghanistan also creates terrorist rebels. Saudi Arabia is an Islamic theocracy mixed with feudalism. Saudi Arabia promotes its fanatically backward ideology around the world by means of mosques, business deals, and political policies. In other words, the Saudi regime purposely and accidentally promotes terrorism.
Before this personal and financial dispute between the Trump administration and the Qatari ruling class, Qatar was a critically important partner for the US oligarchy. Qatar is still the host of a major US navy base, but that could change: “Trump Hints at Abandoning Key Qatar Military Base in Talks With Saudi King” (http://news.antiwar.com/2017/07/14/trump-hints-at-abandoning-key-qatar-military-base-in-talks-with-saudi-king/). Other factors that damaged the relationship between Qatar versus the United States and Saudi Arabia include Qatar’s mainstream media criticizing the Saudi regime (which is extremely intolerant of freedom of speech) and the Qatari government’s neutral relationship with Iran. Qatar and Iran share a large oil-and-gas reserve in the Persian Gulf. Iran and Saudi Arabia are the historical powerhouses in the Middle East, and they constantly compete for influence and control.
Long story short, the Trump administration wants Qatar to provide financial bailouts or suffer the consequences.
In Jersey City, New Jersey (which is on the south-eastern border of New York), Jared Kushner obtained financial support from China sources, Israel sources, and US sources, and they already built a luxury apartment building called Trump Bay Street. This luxury apartment building is supposedly very important, because America allegedly has a major problem involving lots of homeless rich people who need more wealth in order to create more scientific achievements that advance humanity. The China investors also received green cards in the US. Jared Kushner’s sister, Nicole Meyer, tried and failed to repeat these type of multinational deals.
In summary, Donald Trump and Jared Kushner have been mixing businesses and political policies for their personal gains inside America and around the world. In public, Donald Trump and Jared Kushner dishonestly claim their business deals are spectacular successes and their political policies are driven by patriotism and national security. Due to Trump’s and Kushner’s secrecy, incomplete public records repeatedly demonstrated Trump and Kushner constantly generate more losses than gains, because they are obsessed with living way beyond their means, consumerism gone wild, nepotism, cronyism, favoritism, and other sins. America’s dumb-mock-crazy elections or majority tyranny devolved into neo-feudalism, kleptocracy, plutocracy, aristocracy, insider deals, revolving doors, and legalized bribery. Based on the US mainstream media’s propaganda and agitprop, we’re suppose to believe mass voting is the best form of government for everyone.
Like father like son. Jared Kushner’s father, Charles Kushner, was convicted of illegal campaign contributions (primarily to the Zionist liberal Democrat Party) and hiring a prostitute to entrap his brother-in-law: “Jared Kushner's ex-convict father back running New York property empire along with two fellow inmates” (http://www.independent.co.uk/news/business/news/jared-kushner-convict-fraud-father-charles-new-york-property-empire-president-donald-trump-adviser-a7552496.html). The Kushner clan also has a history of working with Avram Lebor and Richard Goettlich (Zionist Jews?). Avram Lebor and Richard Goettlich were convicted of fraudulent loans, mortgage scams, investment fraud, money laundering, tax evasion, and a Ponzi scheme worth hundreds of millions of dollars.
The Kushner clan has debt valued at hundreds of millions of dollars from stores in Midtown Manhattan. The debt is owed to Deutsche Bank. Businessman Donald Trump also owes hundreds of millions of dollars to Deutsche Bank. Both the Kushner clan and Donald Trump work with various businessmen who owe massive debts in wasteful projects with poor long-term sustainability (e.g., a lifestyle of high consumption and low productivity) and who manage America’s central banks and their tentacles of endless shell corporations. After businessman Trump won the White House, President Trump is trying to use government policies in the US and Saudi Arabia to accumulate at least $1 trillion for infrastructure projects in America and other nations that would be highly profitable for Trump, the Kushner clan, and their business-political ilk.
Members of the Trump presidential campaign and Trump presidency have various business and political connections to Russia: “All of Trump’s Russia Ties, in 7 Charts” (http://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2017/03/connections-trump-putin-russia-ties-chart-flynn-page-manafort-sessions-214868). When Trump boasted of, “Make America Great Again,” he actually meant, “I want national and international bailouts, because I’m addicted to consumerism-gone-wild”.
Trump, Jared Kushner, and their business partners represent a tiny fraction of the US kleptocracy: “Wealthy investment bank executive is caught stealing $210 of groceries from Whole Foods that he hid in his children's stroller” (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4693424/Bank-exec-shoplifted-Foods-using-kids-stroller.html). Jordan Lupu (Zionist Jew from Romania?) is a wealthy investment banker, husband, and father who tried to steal groceries from a Whole Foods store at New York City. Due to the double standards in the US justice system (which is supposedly the best justice in the entire world), Jordan Lupu was not punished in any way. He only has to stay out of trouble for a few months and all will be forgiven. No jail time. No community service. No penalty fees. No punishments at all. After violating the law, he only has to behave like a decent person in order to be rewarded with absolution, because a batting average of normal is exceptional for the kleptocracy. A ruling class of thieves and robbers grades on a curve, or else all of them would be thrown into jail or prison.
The guy is also a financial idiot for shopping at Whole Foods. Whole Foods claims to sell healthier and more natural foods at a premium price, but a smart shopper could find foods that possess similar qualities and affordable prices at other grocery stores such as Trader Joe’s, Sprouts Farmers Market, 99 Ranch Market, etc. Remember to properly clean your fresh vegetables and fruits (e.g., rinse and rub down with a small piece of a paper towel, soak in a pot/bucket and rub down with your hands, and/or rinse and swirl in a strainer). Ensure your cosmetics do not taint your food during food preparation and consumption. Your nail polish, lotion, perfume or cologne, deodorant and/or antiperspirant, and so forth could contaminate your food.
When money-junkies with business degrees, economics degrees, and law degrees manage our banks, businesses, and government agencies, we have a culture of fraud, embezzlement, graft, profiteering, bureaucratic double-standards, and extravagance: “HHS reports ‘largest healthcare fraud takedown in history’”
(http://www.healthcaredive.com/news/breaking-doj-reports-largest-healthcare-fraud-takedown-in-history/446949/). There are many other stories of highly profitable scams (many of which are legal) by hospitals, private medical centers, pharmaceutical companies and other types of biotechnology companies, university scientists, etc. America’s schools and universities (which train our nurses, doctors, scientists, and other workers) suffer from increasing fees and decreasing practicality. This is the main reason for why America has the most costly medical system in the world, but the health of the average American is only average when compared to other nations with high to medium wealth.
Why would you pay a luxury price for an average car, a premium price for an average computer, or a maximum cost for an average house? This is clearly a ripoff that benefits the kleptocracy (plus their loyal servants) and swindles everyone else. President Obummer (the liberal-guilt idol) only entrenched the established system throughout the entire nation with his so-called ObamaCare or Affordable Care Act, which was actually copied from the horribly overrated RomneyCare at Massachusetts state.
Miscellaneous thoughts:
I hope smartphones come in 8 inch, 9, inch, and 10 inch screen sizes in the near future. These extra-large phablets obviously need the support of good headsets with both wireless and wired options. Wired devices tend to emit less radiation than wireless devices emit, wired devices have a more secure and stable signal, and wired devices do not need their own batteries. I think surfing the Internet and typing on a tiny 4 inch screen is an aggravating and cramped experience. In my opinion, getting a smartphone and a tablet is redundant. Owning a smartphone, a tablet, and a notebook PC is more redundant. Buying a smartphone, tablet, notebook, and desktop PC is even more redundant. Only a few people truly need all of those electronics. I think I’m the last person in America who does not own a smartphone. I’m waiting for extra-large phablets.
Apparently, extra-large phablets or tablets that support SIM cards exist in Europe and East Asia, but, for some reason, extra-large phablets are unavailabe in America. I’m guessing US corporations want customers to pay for 2 or more devices every year: a smaller smartphone, larger tablet, and/or notebook PC. We also need more smartphones, phablets, tablets, and notebook PCs with batteries that are easy and affordable to replace: “Europeans want devices that can be easily repaired” (https://www.notebookcheck.net/Europeans-want-devices-that-can-be-easily-repaired.232278.0.html).
However, corporations strongly prefer mindlessly obedient customers: “Apple will once again fight to kill "right to repair" legislation: Source” (https://www.notebookcheck.net/Apple-will-once-again-fight-to-kill-right-to-repair-legislation-Source.197748.0.html). Apple and other corporations want the government to support corporate patent-trolling, government subsidies for corporations, special tax breaks for corporations, fake charities that are used as tax evasion for corporate managers, corporate pollution that is dumped onto public properties and other people’s real estate, shell corporations to protect corporate managers against lawsuits, etc. On the other hand, Apple and other corporations want the government to minimize the rights of customers. This is not a free market. This is a less corrupt version of feudalism.
A future upgrade to the Nintendo Switch could solve many people’s demand for a cellphone, tablet, and game console. In other words, killing 3 birds with a single stone. The current Nintendo Switch has good processing power for a portable game console: “Console GPU Power Compared: Ranking Systems By FLOPS” (https://www.gamespot.com/gallery/console-gpu-power-compared-ranking-systems-by-flop/2900-1334/16/). This news article made an error about the Nintendo Switch’s performance. It said the Nintendo Switch is capable of 1 teraFLOPS (TFLOPS), but that is based on the less modern FP16 scale. According to various unofficial sources, on the more modern FP32 scale, the Nintendo Switch is capable of more or less 450 gigaFLOPS (GFLOPS) when it is docked, and more or less 200 gigaFLOPS when it is in portable mode. This is expected, because the Nintendo Switch’s predecessor, the Wii U, is capable of 352 gigaFLOPS, and many sources said the Nintendo Switch is slightly better than the Wii U, and the Wii U is slightly better than the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3.
Keep in mind using FLOPS to measure performance is a very rough estimate of a GPU’s overall capability. For example, the Nvidia GTX 1060 GPU with 3 GB of VRAM has slightly less teraFLOPS than the GPU in the Playstation 4 Pro (e.g., slightly less than 4 TFLOPS vs 4.2 TFLOPS). Based on teraFLOPS, the GTX 1060 GPU is a tiny bit inferior to the GPU in the Playstation 4 Pro, but real-world tests with actual games show the GTX 1060 is usually ~20% to ~85% faster than the GPU in the Playstation 4 Pro. The tests are based on running the same games with the same resolution, very similar special effects settings, and a frame-rate comparison). In addition, the Playstation or any game console has the advantage of superior optimization and compatibility over notebook PCs and desktop PCs. Thus, in the same software and hardware situation, the GTX 1060 GPU should be a lot better than the GPU in the Playstation 4 Pro.
Anyhow, the Microsoft Xbox 360 debuted in 2005 and it had 240 GFLOPS (gigaFLOPS) of processing power. The Xbox One debuted in 2013 and it offered 1.31 TFLOPS (teraFLOPS), which is equivalent to 1,310 GFLOPS (gigaFLOPS). A single teraFLOPS equals 1,000 gigaFLOPS. The Sony Playstation 4 debuted in 2013 and it provided 1.843 TFLOPS. The Playstation 4 Pro debuted in 2016 and it generated 4.2 TFLOPS. The Nintendo Switch debuted in spring of 2017 and it handled 1 TFLOPS. The Xbox One X should debut the second half of 2017, and it should create 6 TFLOPS.
In other words, the Nintendo Switch is clearly weaker than the Xbox One (e.g., the Switch contained ~15% to ~34% of the teraFLOPS in the Xbox One), but the Switch is highly portable and the Xbox One is not portable at all. The video game called “Rise of the Tomb Raider” had top-notch special effects when it debuted in 2015, and it was available on the Xbox 360 and Xbox One, even though the Xbox 360 only offered ~18% of the teraFLOPS from the Xbox One. Obviously, the game looks better on the Xbox One, but the gameplay and story are the same. In other words, if “Rise of the Tomb Raider” works on both the Xbox 360 and Xbox One, then at least many games on the Xbox One and Playstation 4 should work on the Nintendo Switch. The gameplay and story should be the same, but the Switch version of the game should look less detailed (e.g., lower resolution, textures with less details, lower polygon count, less variety of colors, less environmental objects, inferior shadows and lights, and less realistic virtual physics) and run at equal to slower frame rates.
The Xbox One and Playstation 4 provide good support for live and archived streaming of various news, episodic shows, and movies (e.g., Netflix, Hulu, and CBS All Access). Both home game consoles have basic Internet browsers, DVD and Blu-ray player (the Xbox One also has a decent 4K Blu-ray player), etc. With the Nvidia Tegra X1 GPU and related ARM CPU, the Nintendo Switch should be able to easily process live and archived streaming.
Nintendo could revolutionize the video-game sector with the Switch and future upgrades of the Switch (e.g., Switch Pro, Switch Scorpio X, Super Switch 2020, or Switch Extra 2021). A portable game console will never match the highly advanced power of the best home game console due to form factor, but with current technological trends, a portable game console could easily deliver modern-enough performance or decently modern features at any location at any time. Add in cell-phone connections and tablet-PC versatility to create an upgraded Switch Extra for people who want an all-in-one device. The game-focused and original Switch could complement and have high compatibility with the upgraded Switch Extra sort of like the Playstation 4 and Playstation 4 Pro. A multi-purpose and portable game console should sell to a large market around the world.
