Our highly compromised corporations.
"American technology still should be shielded from Chinese acquisition, especially if a large research program passes Congress.6 But far more money is heading from the US to the PRC. New American portfolio investment in China in 2016–20 approached $800 billion.7 The Department of the Treasury fails to provide sector breakdowns, so policymakers do not know if Chinese technology is being supported. To make matters worse, export control reform Congress passed in 2018, to limit technology sales, remains largely unimplemented.8 The US is not competing with China; we’re helping them.

Related to Psaki/Obama:
How much would you like to wager ? Biden’s refusal to release visitor lists at his Delaware digs is hiding Obama emissaries visiting, relaying weekly instructions from Obama>Biden.
Unintended consequences
OK thanks bud I have a collection of them now keep them in my safe.
Hannity keeps saying most of the FBI are good guys but I wonder about anyone who has been there any length of time at all which side they are on.
Thanks exactly what I was looking for! My search engine is worthless.
Great catch its all a huge racket,more criminals than we can ever know.
I think we both know how it works something else. The next op,will take its place. The driebays will pretend like it never happened. Anyone remember impeachement 1 or 2 nahhhh,did it happen?
China’s 7 Deadly Sins: Hack our computers, steal IP, forced tech transfer, dumping, predatory SOEs, currency manipulation, deadly fentanyl. Now come CCP’s 8th Deadly Sin: Killing Americans with a deadly virus.
I see no way out of the D’s predicament but to remove Camela (resign, impeach, or promote) and import former Prez contender HRC.
She’s their obvious choice, but pits Clinton camp up against Obama camp.
Kaboom!
“They should have evacuated dependents sooner. No doubt Blinken was worried about sending the wrong message to the Ukrainians. My experience with two evacuations, Iran and Saudi Arabia, taught me that our dependents should leave sooner rather than later. Waiting too long can result in not having commercial air available, forcing the use of military charters or assets. American civilians in the private sector must also be accommodated. Amcits in Ukraine will be affected by USG official announcement of the evacuation.”

Behind the 8 ball once again.
Good rant @52
I was pre-med in college and chose of my own accord to not go into medicine. I had the grades and scores and turned down the opportunities for another path.
I was a center-right typical college kid who was naive about the world and those who run it.
I worked in and around the health care profession in those years and I really believed that the future of medicine was “wellness”.
Preventative care and a regimen of monitoring health via testing and screening for high risk disease based on genetics or other predispositions/lifestyle would change the world as we knew it. I believed half of medicine would be focused on this. How many times did I hear “if we had only caught this earlier”?
A great idea isn’t it? That was over 30 years ago......
Why did this not happen? Why do most doctors not practice aggressive preventative medicine focused on patient wellness?
There is no money in it and none of them are really trained to do it. It pains me to say that but I know it is true. Corporate medicine and medical academic institutions have been co-opted by money. Big pharma, insurance, and Uncle Sugar are all more important than the Hippocratic oath.
What would the world look like if medicine focused on prevention and early intervention for illness? How many cancers would be caught early and require minimal intervention? How much heart disease would be caught early and treated prior to heart attacks? How many Covid deaths would have been prevented if people were on vitamin D supplementation?
I will never know. The technology already exists between smart phones and home testing machines to monitor much of our own health but it is very hard to find such technology. Why? I have been told that powerful interests work to prevent such ideas from coming to market but I don’t know if that is true or just some conspiracy theory. I do know that some new cars can be monitored via a simple smart-phone app for diagnostics. Why not our own body/health?
Our corporate bureaucratic healthcare system is not a shining jewel among the world. It practices preventative avoidance until you are very ill. That is where the money is.....
