ktchong Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 (edited) The US have freedom gas. But China controls communist metals! Quote China refines 90% of the world’s rare earths, and even the USA sends its ore to China for refinement to abstract rare earths. I n fact, one of the rare earth metals is exclusively refined in China. There is a very big difference between the extraction of rare earth (REE) ore, and the refinement of that ore. The USA has a lot of ore sitting on the surface as a result of Uranium mining from the 1940s onward and from mining - "extracting" - REE’s themselves. What the USA does NOT have today is the technology that allows America to REFINE that ore into rare earth metals. The problem with the refinement of REE’s is that the metals are found with three, four or even five elements mixed in together in various states in the ore. The RE refining technology was once available - but then abandoned - in the USA. Over the decades, Chinese have developed newer, better, and more efficient technology that allows them to refine rare earths at higher rates and lower costs. Chinese are NOT producing RE at low cost just because of low labor rates, but because they have significantly more advanced technologies available to them today. Outside China, the only facility that can refine rare earth ore is in Malaysia - and that facility is owned by a Chinese-Malaysian family (i.e., Malaysian nationals of Chinese ethnics) who have ties to China. The USA would need between five (if lucky) and fifteen years to develop and catch up with China in the rare earth refining technology, at the same level of efficiency as the Chinese. Based on various reports, the CIA was trying desperately to steal that technology, and their spy ring in China got shutdown in 2015. Since then, America and the CIA have had no luck whatsoever getting close to that technology. In addition, private companies outside China may be unable to compete with China without government subsidies. China can price its rare earth exports so that rare earths will be significantly more expensive for Americans than for Chinese, but still keep the prices low enough to deter US and foreign private companies from entering the rare earth refining business - and putting in the money to develop and research the needed technology. Rare earth refinement will be a risky business - because if the trade and price situation changes, all those private companies will be put out of business by China.

Gromnir Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 (edited) curious aside, gorsuch writing has dropped off a bit since he got on the Court. typical takes a year or two for a Justice to find a comfort zone. perhaps following in footsteps o' scalia added unnecessary pressure. regardless, am hopeful gorsuch regains his pre-appointment groove, 'cause as it now stands, he ain't anywhere near kagan or roberts... and we would say such is correct order: 1)kagan and 2)roberts. as to rare earth metals... has the last nine years been a dream, 'cause ktchong appears to think it is 2010. china's rare earth weapon went from boom to bust. the thing is, rare earth ain't all that rare and the US is gonna have a refinery up and running within a year... but admitted only a single one. regardless, five and fifteen year estimates look a bit hyperbolic.

injurai Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 If Trump didn't collude, it's clear he benefited from the concerted attack and he further wants to maintain the air of legitimacy around his electoral college only win of the ticket. Further we know his keepers and handlers did either collude, or left themselves open to be influenced when they should have been taking the steps to immunize themselves against such influence. One thing Trump can't escape is the indictment that he is a capricious buffoon of the highest order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guard Dog Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 Jesse Dougherty is the Nats beat writer for the Washington Post. I've been a subscriber to the post for years on my Kindle and I've always liked it. But the quality is slipping and here is an example of why. Dougherty ran a column yesterday about a kerfuffle involving the Nats AAA affiliate, the Fresno Grizzlies. During their Memorial Day in-game ceremony they ran a video with pictures of the "enemies of freedom" of some such. AoC's pic was included with Kim Jong Il, and an assorted cast of bad guys. It was a pretty stupid thing to do and the team and person who made the video have apologized. Dougherty opined the person should be fired and if the Grizzlies won't do it the Nats should step in and do it. Just one problem: the Nats have no ownership interest in the Grizzlies. Like 90% of minor league teams they are a privately owned and operated entity. The Nats could no more have that guy fired than they could call my boss and have me fired. Now, I bring all this up because Dougherty published something that was not only wrong it was dumb. And no one caught it. He's been the beat writer for the Nats for 10 years and does not even know how the business he reports on works. His editors didn't catch it. The problem with the media isn't that they knowingly publish false information. It's that they UNKNOWINGLY publish false information. I'm pointing this one thing out as an example. Many journalists bemoan the loss of trust in their profession. But they refuse to see they are the only ones who can undermine their own credibility. Just my $.02.

Guard Dog Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 Quote I recognize that the “burdens on governmental processes” that the Appointments Clause imposes may “often seem clumsy, inefficient, even unworkable.” INS v. Chadha, 462 U. S. 919, 959 (1983). Granting the President unilateral power to fill vacancies in high offices might contribute to more efficient Government. But the Appointments Clause is not an empty formality. Although the Framers recognized the potential value of leaving the selection of officers to “one man of discernment” rather than to a fractious, multimember body, see The Federalist No. 76, p. 510 (J. Cooke ed., 1961), they also recognized the serious risk for abuse and corruption posed by permitting one person to fill every office in the Government, see id., at 513; 3 J. Story, Commentaries on the Constitution of the United States §1524, p. 376 (1833). The Framers “had lived under a form of government that permitted arbitrary governmental acts to go unchecked,” Chadha, supra, at 959, and they knew that liberty could be preserved only by ensuring that the powers of Government would never be consolidated in one body, see The Federalist No. 51, p. 348. ... That the Senate voluntarily relinquished its advice-andconsent power in the FVRA does not make this end-run around the Appointments Clause constitutional. The Clause, like all of the Constitution’s structural provisions, “is designed first and foremost not to look after the interests of the respective branches, but to protect individual liberty.” (GD aside: what a radical notion) That the Senate voluntarily relinquished its advice-and consent power in the FVRA does not make this end-run around the Appointments Clause constitutional. The Clause, like all of the Constitution’s structural provisions, “is designed first and foremost not to look after the interests of the respective branches, but to protect individual liberty.” Clarence Thomas We went wrong when the executive did things that were beyond the enumerated powers of the office and the legislature did nothing. Does anyone have a time machine I can borrow? I'm going to go back to 1911 and kidnap Teddy Roosevelt. If he's not around Taft would be re-elected, WW2 would never happen and maybe... just maybe, the Executive branch of the US would not be out of control.

"But he had his reasons for not doing it, which he explained and I am not going to, you know, argue about those reasons." ... barr is being disingenuous not to mention unintentional supporting the argument mueller woulda' found obstruction but for doj policy. IF mueller found criminal behavior by trump, then publishing such findings by a doj prosecutor such as the special counsel would necessarily deprive trump of the opportunity for a fair criminal trial. this were the one point 'bout which mueller were perfect clear in his presser. so unless you believe mueller is being willful obtuse or some other conspiracy theory, the reason for NOT exonerating and simultaneous NOT indicting becomes disturbingly obvious: but for doj policy, mueller woulda' announced existence o' criminal behaviour sufficient for indictment. again, barr is correct that mueller coulda' found criminal activity but he is again misleading. revealing such findings would only be problematic if mueller announced he found criminal activity worthy o' indictment as such would invoke doj policy against charging a President while he/she is in office. accuse trump o' crime but not allow for a trial would deny trump speedy and fair trial. recognizing mueller could find criminal activity but has refused to exonerate the President is actual a damning condemnation o' those who claim mueller didn't find legal sufficient evidence o' obstruction. is no other compelling argument for mueller to be taciturn than his desire to avoid the doj policy he specific identified in his presser... and virtual every lawyer in Congress knows this. fact so many is pretending to be ignorant and to see mueller's report as some kinda exoneration makes most o' the republicans on the hill complicit in this affront to the rule o' law. 'course we also got a whole lotta venom for the democrats in Congress, more than a few who were clear looking for an excuse to find trump guilty o' crimes regardless o' evidence. is also more than a few democrat hypocrites who defended clinton's perjury who is getting a measure o' comeuppance which they is owed. even so, am kinda disgusted by the whole circus, which is wrong as well. am so tried o' it all that am becoming numb to the daily excesses o' this administration. our fatigue is another victory for an administration gone wrong.

And medicines - those are communist too, and China also controls them! Here is something being discussed by Chinese, and Americans have not even thought of it. China has another effective weapon in this trade war, possibly even more effective than restricting rare earths or dumping US treasuries: GENERIC DRUGS. Almost all of generic drugs in the US are manufactured in China. Americans are a heavily medicated and drug-dependent people. If China cuts off cheap generic drug supplies to the US, then the drug prices in the US will spike. Many Americans will be priced out of the drugs that they need to stay alive, off pains, and sane. Restricting or raising prices on generic drug exports will be a most effective – and a most painful – retaliatory weapon for China to inflict on the US population. Of course the US will be able to switch suppliers over time, (just like they will be able to change suppliers for rare earths or any Chinese imports over time,) but not before a lot of Americans suffer, go bankrupt, and even die from the lack of access to cheap drugs. Many Chinese see this trade war as a war of attrition, of who can outlast the other one. Many Americans who are sick, in pains, and dying cannot wait out or try to outlast this trade war. If China is willing to resort to using this weapon, it will cause tremendous pains and suffering for Americans – and put tremendous pressures on the Trump administration. That may seem like a cruel and ruthless weapon to fight the trade war, but that is what exactly the US has always used as a weapon for sanctions on Iraq, North Korea, Venezuela and so many other countries. And, based on what I’ve reading in the Chinese social media, Chinese online are calling for their government to restrict or raise prices of generic drug exports as a weapon in the trade war, and "let's Americans have a taste of their own medicine because they love to put sanctions on other countries so much!" P.S. And antibiotics too. Most of those - 96 percent, if I remember correctly - come from China. Edited May 31, 2019 by ktchong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'cause the press has been mean to him. clinton, who no doubt woulda' received bad press, mighta' attacked individual reporters and stories, but am not able to imagine her using "enemy of the people" language. evar. is the kinda stuff we previous thought were reserverved for autocrats and internet hoaxers. alternative facts and outright lies. claim sound from windmills cause cancer and when confronted with abject stoopidity o' such statements he doubles-down on such. crowd size. mit global warming studies. payoffs to porn stars. authorship o' press releases. could spend tens o' pages discussing trump admin lies... and when he is caught in an obvious lie, he tends to make lie bigger rather than retracting. ignores the unanimous advice o' intelligence chiefs in favor o' tucker carlson and sean hannity? why? 'cause the fox guys says what trump wants to hear. attacks on McCain even after the senator's death, and why? 'cause mccain, who were in favor o' obamacare repeal, were having too much integrity to go along with the slapped together replacement plan which were forced through committee w/o debate. (can ff to ~7:00-9:45ish if just wanna hear reasons for voting 'gainst obamacare repeal.) faked medical condition to avoid military service while ridiculing mccain's efforts in service to his country. lies. pettiness. willful stoopidity. oh, and as bad as were hillary emails and the potential damage such coulda' done to US intelligence and diplomatic efforts, within month o' being in office trump spilled israeli secrets to the russians in the oval office and he forced security clearances to be given to family members he were told were in danger o' being compromised. clinton woulda' been bad, but trump daily lies and character breaches has made gd and others numb to how terrible he is. we honest could not imagine how terrible trump character as President has been. had assumed pu$$y grab before being elected woulda' been low water mark, but have been proven wrong almost daily. your gas station guy is perpetual safe from making good on offer, eh? oh, and mexico tariffs?
