China's Secret War on the U.S.

Let me get right to the point...

The Chinese will stop at nothing to become the world's
undisputed super power.

To date, China has implemented economic policies to overtake
the United States.

For example, compared to us...

- China's economy over the past year has grown by over SIX
TIMES.

- China carries roughly $2-trillion in debt (we're buried in
$16-trillion) but keeps over $3-trillion in reserves.

- China boasts a paltry unemployment rate hovering around
only 3%... while... we struggle with near 8% unemployment.

- China is the world's #1 mine operator, car maker,
manufacturer and exporter.

- According to the Peterson Institute, China's economy may
have already surpassed ours.

On the military front, China has the largest standing army
in the world.

2.2 million active-duty military personnel stand at the
ready to heed the call of war.

China also has all the modern weapons of war including: spy
satellites, battle tanks, aircraft carriers, attack
submarines, cruise missiles and a large stockpile of nuclear
weapons.

Of course, we know China will probably not attack us or our
allies either by land, air, sea or space.

However, as you read this message, secret groups of Chinese
"cyber warriors" are attacking the computer networks of our
government and corporations and those of allied countries.

Waging a "secret" war on us in: cyberspace!

On October 11, 2012, Secretary of Defense, Leon Panetta
delivered a speech on cyber security to the Business
Executives for National Security.

Panetta admitted,"A cyber attack perpetrated by nation
states or violent extremists groups could be as destructive
as the terrorist attack on 9/11. Such a destructive cyber-
terrorist attack could virtually paralyze the nation."

He went on to list several recent cyber attacks such as:

- Distributed Denial of Service attacks on some large U.S.
financial institutions.

- The Shamoon virus which in August of 2012 infected 30,000
computers in the Saudi Arabian State Oil Company Aramco.

- Cyber attacks targeting the computer control systems that
operate chemical, electricity and water plants and those
that guide transportation throughout the United States.

Many of these cyber intrusions are directly linked to China.

Not surprising considering this fact...

China has prepared for over a decade to conduct war in cyber
space and win "informationized wars by the mid-21st
century."

The PLA (People's Liberation Army) has adopted an offensive
information warfare strategy they call Integrated Network
Electronic Warfare.

They are ruthlessly carrying out a relentless cyber
offensive against the United States.

Defense Secretary Panetta fears the next big attack could be
a "cyber pearl harbor" of sorts. Which is why, he says, the
Department of Defense "is investing more than $3 billion
annually in cybersecurity because we have to retain that
cutting edge capability in the field."

I have written a Special Investor Report which spells out
the dangers and the opportunities this situation presents
serious investors.

You will discover how the boom in cyber security will help
one Dallas-based micro tech firm dominate a $723-million
cyber security niche in 2013.

Sending its stock prices shooting through the roof. Probably
at least doubling over the next few months.

And how to take full advantage of the mad scramble by
government agencies and corporations here and abroad to
protect their cyber domains by pouring hundreds of millions
into cyber security.

I will send you details and a link to this report in the
coming days.

It is, I assure you, a time-sensitive situation.

The faster you know the facts... and the faster you take
action... the better for you.

The Drugs No Senior Should Ever Take

The Drugs No Senior Should Ever Take

A BLACKLIST OF DANGEROUS DRUGS--CONFIRMED BY A CONGRESSIONAL INQUIRY AND PUBLISHED BY A DISTINGUISHED MEDICAL JOURNAL

Dear Reader, In 1991, a team from Harvard Medical School identified 20 drugs too dangerous for use by elderly patients. Then they found out that 23% of seniors are receiving these very drugs. And the Journal of the American Medical Association said this study was "merely the tip of the iceberg." They were right. Now the list has grown to several dozen drugs. Congress was so disturbed it asked its watchdog agency, the General Accounting Office, to look into it. Using Medicare data, the GAO found over 17 percent of the elderly receive unsafe drugs. No matter which study you use, prescription drugs are putting roughly one out of five seniors in deadly danger. SO WHAT WAS DONE? NOTHING AT ALL! YOU NEED TO PROTECT YOURSELF--NOW! And we can help. That's why we're sending you this urgent information in the Special Report, The Drugs No Senior Should EVER Take. Just click here now to learn more. To your good health, Marjory Abrams President, Bottom Line Publications P.S. Because this lifesaving health information may only be available for a limited time, be sure to click here now.

Governor Christie: Out of Line, Out of Touch, Outrageous: Get Rid of Him

Out of touch, out of line and outrageous.
Those are the only words to describe a governor who vetoes marriage equality when 64% of his state favors it, vetoes three out of four equal pay bills for women and vetoes an increase in the minimum wage that would lift thousands of working families out of poverty.
New Jersey Governor Chris Christie did all of those things, and then he bragged about it.
Now we have a chance to replace him with a great Democratic candidate – Barbara Buono – who will do what’s right for New Jersey families.
Join the DGA and EMILY’s List and take a stand against Christie and his wrong priorities.
Christie’s record is far too extreme for New Jersey, but right-wing Republicans are determined to help him hide the truth from voters.
We’re making up ground, but we need you to show everyone which side you’re on right now.
Sign your name to help us put an end to Christie’s extreme policies in New Jersey.
Thanks for standing with us.

Google All but Officially Admits It Wants to Be Amazon

 by Marcus Wohlsen    03.29.13      6:30 AM

      For the past several months, Google has danced coyly around the question of exactly how deep it wants to dip into the world of shopping. But the official confirmation this week of its long-rumored same-day retail delivery service signals a crystal-clear intention: Google wants to be Amazon.
Analysts at Baird Equity Research described the new service, which will be beta-tested in coming months by select San Francisco Bay Area residents, as “consistent with Google’s ambitions to create a larger commerce platform.”
The service, Shopping Express, will also “bring more local product inventory into search” and “counter competition from Amazon and eBay”:
“We still see Google over time expanding toward a more traditional e-commerce marketplace model,” analysts Colin Sebastian and Gregor Schauer wrote.
Google has all the technological infrastructure it could ever need to run an e-commerce service. Already, its paid product listings have helped turn search results into an online storefront missing only a “buy” button.
The only other piece Google would still need is the inventory. For now, that will come from local retailers such as Target and Staples. But it’s hard to imagine the same minds behind Google Glass and self-driving cars aren’t itching to take a harder run at hacking a systems problem as seductive as the global distribution of consumer goods.
Still, they’d have to hurry.
According to researchers at Deutsche Bank, the 40 new mega-warehouses built by Amazon over the past three years (both domestically and abroad) will help make online shopping faster and cheaper than ever.
Getting those warehouses closer to customers means Amazon will have to ship fewer items by air in favor of less expensive options, the report says. Amazon will also be better able to draw on inventory from a single warehouse for multiple-item orders, rather than being forced to pull orders together from warehouses scattered across the country.
Working against Amazon is its own success at promoting its Prime program, which promises unlimited two-day shipping for an annual $79 fee. Meeting that promise means Prime customers result in higher shipping costs per order for Amazon, says Deutsche Bank analyst Ross Sandler. But because Prime customers order so much more than their non-Prime counterparts, they still generate six times the profit per customer for the company.
“The end result of these investments is likely to be improved unit economics from lower shipping costs, better customer service levels and speedier delivery, which is typically the second most important factor in the consumer’s purchase consideration, behind price (where AMZN consistently wins),” Sandler writes.
Google’s efforts to chip away at that dominance despite Amazon’s huge head start will be one of the most popcorn-worthy corporate contests of the next few years. Because if the shareholders who have pushed the company’s stock price above $800 are to be believed, Google is always a contender.

One Nation (Under China):China’s Long March to World Domination

One Nation
(Under China)
China’s Long March to World Domination
What You Must Do Now to Protect Yourself and Profit

Wake up, America!
Hello. My name is Larry Edelson.
China’s on a long march to world domination and their pace is accelerating, and it’s about to threaten your financial future and our American way of life.
Over the past 12 months ...
China has surpassed Japan to become the world’s second largest economy ... surpassed the United States to become the world’s largest manufacturer ... and jumped light years ahead of the U.S. space program by launching astronauts into space while simultaneously building their own state-of-the-art space station along with a new generation of ballistic missiles.
And it is growing economically and militarily stronger by the minute.
China is now home to the world’s fastest growing economy ... the world’s fastest bullet train ... the world’s fastest growing military ... and now possesses the world’s greatest deep sea exploration capabilities ... while lending more money to governments and firms than even the World Bank.
They are using their economic power to buy up two-fifths of the world’s coal, zinc, aluminum and copper as they threaten their neighbors both militarily in the Sea of Japan and economically around the world ... systematically wielding their economic club against countries that challenge its interests in territorial disputes and that defy its terms.
In a dispute over fishing rights, they punished the Philippines by blocking banana imports from entering China, dealing a major economic blow to a country that exports more than 30% of its bananas to China.
Norway was punished for attending the 2010 Nobel Peace Prize ceremony honoring Chinese dissident Liu Xiaobo by imposing “new” veterinary inspections on Norwegian salmon that cut imports by 60%.
Just this October, Japan was punished over the sale of the disputed East China Sea islands by China pulling out of the International Monetary Fund summit. The chain reaction caused Japanese stocks to drop nearly 2%.
This is how China is marching toward world domination — by flexing its economic muscles while buying up the world’s resources and modernizing its military.
It’s only a matter of time before China’s uses the $2 trillion America owes it as a battering ram to push its foreign policy objectives — not just in the Sea of Japan, but WHEREVER it feels its interests are threatened.
The result won’t just steal more of our jobs or block more of our exports. It will also strike to the core of our financial lives — our companies, our money and even our retirement.
And unless we see a dramatic change very soon, there’s very little the bankrupt U.S. government can do to stop it.
Where you work ... where you live ... what car you drive ... and what you pay for food, clothing, and energy — you name it — will be indirectly controlled by China because they will soon control the money, the energy, the natural resources, and ultimately much of your financial life.
As you’ll see here, the only way you’ll preserve your financial freedom is if you take action yourself — TODAY.
That’s why I created this presentation: To show you what China is doing right now to undermine your investments and what you must do NOW to protect yourself and your family from China’s Long March to dominate the world and destroy your wealth.
If the thought of the USA becoming a financial slave to China disturbs you, I would stop reading now.
I guarantee my presentation will send chills down your spine as you learn about China’s Long March to world domination.
Unlike a military victory that would turn our cities to rubble, the fallout from their economic victory will crush every single dollar you’ve ever saved or invested.
Unless you take action now, the value of your investments, your savings, and your retirement accounts could be wiped out.
Don’t think this can’t happen!
You’ve already seen the tremendous economic, technological and even military advances China’s made in recent years and how they are wielding their economic power around the world.
The next steps they are taking could pull the plug on your financial future and set back your savings for years.
I know that many in the financial media will dismiss what I have to say out of hand and dismiss me as some kind of extremist.
They said the same thing when I warned of China’s rise as early as the 1980s ... and when I forecast the great bull market in gold since 2001 — not to mention the bursting of the tech bubble in 2000, the great housing bust in 2007, and the European sovereign debt crisis in 2010 — each time saving my readers millions of dollars.
Each time, my financial research and global economic outlook were right on the money. Just as they were in 2009, when I said the bear market was over and stocks soared over 50%.
That’s why if you can take a few minutes to hear me out, you’ll be among a handful of American investors who will be able to turn this crisis into profits, because by the time the financial media covers this story, it will be too late.
And while the steps in China’s quest have been many, again, their strategy comes down to three shrewd and well-thought-out stages:

1. Control the U.S. economy,
   
   
2. Monopolize the world’s natural resources, and finally,
   
   
3. Destroy the dollar to achieve their ultimate financial superiority.

The first thing you should know is this: It’s not too late to protect yourself and profit, because China is at least 12 months away from setting in motion the third step in their plan.
But I’m getting ahead of myself.
Let me walk you through all three stages of their plan.
That way you’ll have a better understanding of what’s about to take place and the kinds of investments that will rise when China makes its final move.

China’s Step #1: Gain Greater Control
over the U.S. Economy.

You can see what China has done to do that every time you go to Costco, Wal-Mart, or Lowe’s — flood the U.S. with cheap Chinese goods.
Can you find anything that’s made in the USA?
That’s no accident.
That’s just the first step in China’s takeover strategy: Flood the U.S. with cheap goods to strip us of our manufacturing base so they can line their own pockets with trillions of our dollars.
According to Ed Gerwin and Ryan McConaghy of the economic think tank, ThirdWay.org, their actions are clear violations of World Trade Organization (WTO) rules that have resulted in 5.6 million lost jobs since 2001.
The 20 WTO complaints the U.S. government has filed against China over the past 11 years proves just that.
As a result, the Chinese have taken over entire American industries.
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics ...

• The manufacturing industry has lost 1.967 million jobs to China in four years,
  
  
• The textile industry has lost 43,488 jobs to China in the last four years,
  
  
• The food manufacturing industry has lost 44,133 jobs to China since 2008, and
  
  
• The apparel manufacturing industry has lost 52,271 jobs to China since 2008.

All of which are unlikely to come back to the U.S., due to China’s lower-cost tax, financing, labor, and currency advantages they’ve gained over a decade of one-sided trade practices.
You should see China’s 12th Five-Year Plan, implemented this year, that’s under way now. Atlantic Magazine calls it “China’s New Plan for Economic Domination.”
It’s no wonder. It makes their previous currency manipulations and tactics look like chump change.
That’s because their new plan is an even bolder attack: A controlling interest in strategic emerging industries: The very high profit sectors worth nearly $4 trillion that we’re counting on to grow our own economy.
I’m talking about ...

• Alternative energy,
  
  
• Alternative-fuel cars,
  
  
• New-generation information technology,
  
  
• High-end equipment manufacturing,
  
  
• Advanced materials, and
  
  
• New energy technologies.

The Chinese are going to steal these advanced industries away from us using the same illicit — and even illegal — tax and fiscal policies that have already cost us 5.6 million jobs.
All using the same tactics that filings at the U.S. Commerce Department show China has used to gut the U.S. solar industry over the past five years.

1. Mammoth government subsidies,
   
   
2. Massive cash grants,
   
   
3. Heavily discounted materials and utilities,
   
   
4. Multibillion-dollar low-interest loans, and
   
   
5. Outright dumping.

All while keeping their currency severely undervalued to grab more of our money!
They do this for every industry they sink their hooks into: Undercut U.S. companies by giving Chinese companies an array of unfair — and sometimes illegal — subsidies, grants, and loans while sticking it to us with mafia-sized tariffs.
Just look at the tariffs they place on U.S. goods:

45% on U.S. steel products
22% on U.S. automobiles
30% on U.S. motorcycles
30% on U.S. video, digital video, and audio recorders

Compare this with the far SMALLER tariffs we place on top of Chinese imports:

2% to 10% on yarns, cotton, and man-made fibers
10% to 18% on woven fabrics
10% to 17% on home furnishings
10% to 24% on travel goods

There you can see with your own eyes why the U.S. trade balance with China has ballooned to $295 billion ... and why China is sitting on $3.2 trillion of our money!
Those numbers don’t include even the $48 billion worth of pirated U.S. software that the International Trade Commission says cost U.S. businesses another 2.1 million jobs in 2009 alone.
So it’s also no surprise China's newest Five-Year Plan has been characterized by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and many major multi-nationals as another “blueprint for technology theft on a scale the world has never seen.”
The kind of economic theft that could wipe out your savings in the blink of an eye!
You needn’t take my word for it.
The employees and investors in American Superconductor Corp. would tell you the same thing — China will do whatever it takes to steal our jobs and our technology.
Here’s what happened to them.
When their biggest Chinese client refused to accept or pay for new shipments of their wind turbine technology software, their technicians discovered the company had hacked the source code for their software.
Why pay, when you can steal it free?
This rip-off not only cost the company $140 million in sales, it also triggered a 70% collapse in the company’s stock value.
This is just one example of how some companies in China will lie, cheat, and steal, helping China to control the U.S. economy on their road to world domination while wiping out the investments of American investors.
Rare events? Not even close! Gen. Keith Alexander, head of the military’s Cyber Command, tells us that there are 155 more examples of Chinese cyber thefts they are prosecuting now.
Sound scary? Continue reading article One Nation Under China here

Watch An Awesome Feminist Senator Teach A U.S. General How To Do His Job

In 2011, there were 3,191 reports of sexual assault in the military. Only 240 moved to trial. In this clip, Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand is asking the military brass about a case at Aviano Air Base where a general reversed the decision of a military jury and overturned a conviction against a high-ranking officer who attacked a subordinate. This is the first hearing like this in almost 10 years.
