#China continues to rely on #coal while promoting #renewableenergy and #EVs in #America

Tom DeWeese, president of the American Policy Center, highlighted China’s increasing reliance on coal mines for its energy needs in a special report published by Climate Depot. In 2023, China’s total emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) from coal-fired power generation hit 5.56 billion metric tons, an all-time high that was nearly six percent greater than the […]

For many Americans the 2021 withdrawal of U.S. troops from Afghanistan was an egregious betrayal. Whether strategic warfare or the result of pure negligence and incompetence, 13 American soldiers lost their lives. Following the withdrawal, the White House reported 100 to 200 Americans were remaining in Afghanistan with intentions to flee. According to the National Resistance Front (NRF), a military alliance of former Northern Alliance members and other anti-Taliban fighters, America has lost 98% of its intel collection capability in Afghanistan, leaving the country a breeding ground for 27 plus terrorist organizations.

Just two days following the U.S. evacuation of troops from Afghanistan, September 2, 2021, a plane carrying 150 Chinese nationals landed in Bagram Airfield, outside of Parwan Province. Two weeks after their arrival, began a steady flow of incoming Chinese nationals to the airfield with an estimated 350 plus stationary. What is their objective plan? 

For over a decade, China has been strengthening its diplomatic efforts in creating a stabilized Afghanistan, among a plethora of other struggling countries. Providing the country with over a billion yuan in aid and pledging millions more. China has also provided 500 scholarships for Afghan students to study in China, as well as training to 3,000 Afghan professionals in various fields, including counterterrorism, anti-drug trafficking, agricultural and diplomacy. China has helped promote economic independence within the country through the framework of China's Silk Road Economic Belt strategy. 

Since the withdrawal of U.S. troops, China has been intensifying its influence and succor to Afghanistan in full support and pledge to the Taliban. In January of 2024, Chinese President Xi Jinping met with the Taliban-appointed Afghan ambassador in a formal ceremony at the Great Hall of the People, accepting and recognizing the ambassador's credentials. Likewise, the CCP has set up shop in Kabul sending their own ambassador who has been equally recognized by the Taliban. Their support doesn't end there. China has been actively assisting in helping build the Taliban's military division. Chinese defense company, Norinco, a weapons manufacturer, sanctioned in 2003 by the Bush administration for selling missile-related goods to Iran, has been holding meetings with the Taliban's defense ministry. Norinco, known for its "arms for minerals" deals, has provided the Taliban with the installation of over 100,000 state of the art surveillance cameras in Kabul alone, through Huawei. Huawei, a Chinese global provider of communication and technology infrastructure, was placed on the U.S. "entity list" and flagged as a national security threat in 2019 by the Trump administration, restricting suppliers from selling U.S. goods and technology. 

Through this "arms for minerals" deal, China has signed billion dollar contracts with the Taliban to engage in the mining and extraction of lithium, gold, copper and other rare-earth minerals. Afghanistan has the largest deposit of lithium which is a known prime commodity for the transition to a green energy or a carbon-free world. China has been known to dominate the lithium supply chain by insidious means and their recent alliance with the Taliban follows suit. 

There is no denying the flurry of diplomatic activity between China and the Talbian. The CCP's leadership undoubtedly has a domestic interest in protecting order and security as the two countries share a 57 mile long border. However, China's international or geostrategic projections are almost indisputable as the country was prepped and ready to step in just days after the United States abrupt abandonment. Is it possible, the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Afghanistan wasn't proof of the negligence and or incompetency of the current U.S. administration, but rather another example of what could be a strategic move toward a new order where China holds global economic and political dominance? Could this fall in line with the pattern we've seen of the U.S allowing Chinese nationalist to hold government seats and intentionally turn a blind eye to BRICS, Chinese U.S land grab, and the unprecedented amounts of Chinese nationalists crossing our border via the Darien Gap?

Dem Rep Pleads Innocence Ahead of DOJ Indictment

NewsWorthy.news
) – A Democratic representative and his wife have claimed innocence amid a federal indictment that accuses them of bribery and conspiracy.
Texas Rep. Henry Cuellar and his wife were charged on Friday May 3 in relation to their financial involvement with Azerbaijan, a former Soviet republic. The 68-year-old lawmaker from the Lone Star State was joined by his wife in allegedly accepting almost $600,000 in bribes from an Azerbaijani energy company as well as a Mexican bank.
Cuellar returned the favor by positively influencing the country’s interests along with those of the bank. The illicit bribes are said to have occurred between 2014 and 2021. One of his scrutinized actions was the agreement to push pro-Azerbaijan bills in the United States legislature—including giving a speech on the House floor that promoted the country.

According to the Department of Justice, which launched the probe into the couple, Cuellar and his wife did not resist authorities when taken into custody. Their first court appearance with a Houston federal judge resulted in each being released on a bond of $100,000.

Welcome to the Truman Show. Warren Buffet once said that if the US were a village it would be named Squanderville. The US is now on a path that leads straight past that village to a place of hardship and ruin. Why? Mainly because we screwed up our markets and made them dysfunctional that they no longer do what they should.

We told you last season that many, many people across the United States and in a half-dozen other countries have been diagnosed with a strange malady called Havana Syndrome. These symptoms first began manifesting in 2016, when diplomats at the US Embassy in Havana, Cuba began reporting things ranging from physical pain to ringing in the ears to cognitive difficulties. Many had diagnosable traumatic brain injuries. The US government initially dismissed the symptoms as the product of crickets. Yes, crickets. But something more sinister was likely behind it. John Kiriakou speaks with Former NSA technical Director, Bill Binney and Dr. Katherine Horton, a former particle physicist, on this episode of the Whistleblowers about Directed Energy Weapon Attacks and Havana Syndrome.

On this episode of The Cost of Everything we take a closer look at the cost of wind energy and how reliable this source of energy is. Host Christy Ai speaks with author Trevor Letcher about which countries produce and utilize this energy the most, and the cost of building and maintaining a turbine. Later in the show, finance expert Todd ‘Bubba’ Horwitz joins the show to discuss the downside of wind energy.

On this episode of The M.O., host Manila Chan examines the controversial topic of Western states pressuring countries around the world to dump traditional energy sources in favor of a more green method. Manila talks to the Executive Chairman of the African Energy Chamber, Nj Ayuk, about the hypocrisy of some nations who seek to bully others to adapt to green energy after they polluted the world for years.

With few exceptions, the nations of the G7 – or at least […]
