So what was in those kanji characters that meant the first Japan board had to die?
Gone but not forgotten:

Bump posted the Japan bread twice last night, got at least one assist on a bump, reported when of my bump posts so BV/BO was aware it kept sliding away. Now it's gone…. sort of. I saved the header of the dough (rather disjointed looking thing) and can with one click return at least a bread for Japan to the catalog. Question is should I? No idea if original baker has noticed the bread gone yet.
Put a replacement up because I'm just a nice person with a note i the new bread kinda saying what happened. The earlier traffice will likely return and I can tell them to keep posting. Not sure why the first one slid away, I did bump post it, honest
私は最初のボードがカタログから滑り落ちることを許された理由がわかりません。「バンプ」投稿は効果がなかった。
私は元の上部を保存する予防措置を取った。日本のボードを再現するために再投稿。申し訳ありませんが、私はそれをすべて保存することができませんでした
Useful links ya know :)

I'm off my regular rig for a little while and I get forgotten? Egads Man, I must have a beer and a smoke and contemplate the depth of the rejection!

Well, I guess we wait and see what happens.

In-Q-Tel: CIA’s Investment Capital Arm
“IQT Celebrates 20 Years of Innovation” - https://youtu.be/UddEgcbT3us
“14 cutting edge firms funded by the CIA”at https://www.businessinsider.com/companies-funded-by-cia-2016-9?IR=T states;
The Central Intelligence Agency has its own investment capital arm, and it's been pumping money into some of Silicon Valley's most innovative companies for years.
In-Q-Tel (named after "Q" in the James Bond films) [https://www.iqt.org/] invests in companies that can deliver useful technology to the intelligence community within 36 months. But since it's structured as an independent, non-profit organization, it's rather unique: It's a VC firm that doesn't really need to make money back for outside investors, and it can tap into the deep pockets of the intelligence "black budget."

Palantir sifts through massive data sets to allow a user to track patterns or gain valuable insight from one software package, instead of looking into a bunch of different databases. Palantir is one of Silicon Valley's most secretive companies, which can be explained somewhat by its deep relationship with US military and intelligence clients. Spies are using Palantir's software to link together the huge cache of data gathered by CIA, DHS, NSA, and others. The military uses it to figure out whether a roadside bomb was built by a specific person. And even detectives with the LAPD are querying it to understand criminal ties. Palantir has expanded to offer solutions for healthcare and financial firms.

Also at https://www.iqt.org/about-iqt/, it states;
As technology evolves and government needs transform, IQT established new initiatives that build on its national security mission. IQT Labs explore technology opportunities and solutions to problems that remain unsolved across government, industry, and society yet are critically important for technology adoption and national security. B.Next was founded – and was prescient – in its application of biotechnology to address the national security threat of infectious disease epidemics and pandemics.
As I explored their website https://www.bnext.org/, I found it alarming when they excitedly state at https://www.bnext.org/premise/; “Good news: our understanding of the “parts, circuits and operating systems” of living things, driven by the convergence of digital technology and our ability to manipulate biology is unprecedented. The speed, accuracy and decreasing cost of tools and machines that read the code of life are progressing much faster than Moore’s Law.”
https://www.bnext.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/Biorevolution-article-for-website_5-3-2017.pdf states;
The biorevolution has generated and benefited from an array of new technologies that endow us with new powers to manipulate microbes, plants, animals, and even whole biosystems. These capabilities will be hugely beneficial to humankind, and will be useful across a wide range of applications, from medicine to agriculture to food production and materials science.
Although the biorevolution was catalyzed by decades of US investments in basic research, it is a global phenomenon. In contrast to some other industries, barriers to entry into the biotech industry are relatively low. Numerous countries, developed and developing, recognize that biotechnology will be a key driver of the global economy and have incorporated biotech development into their national strategic economic plans.
China, in particular, is determined to lead the biorevolution. China could soon become the world’s second largest drug market. State-owned CNBG (China National Biotec Group) is already the world’s largest vaccine manufacturer. The biotech industry is a central pillar of China’s 13th Five Year Plan. and there is increasing early-stage financing activity in, around, and from China.
After all the manipulation the CIA has done in history, do you want them to do this to you?

China’s Illegal Fishing in South African Oceans and Involvement in Africa
With regard to fishing, the Chinese have been fishing illegally in South African oceans while the local fishermen are struggling to make a living due to the dwindling fish stocks.
“SA at sea over illegal fishing in its waters” at https://mg.co.za/article/2016-05-19-00-sa-at-sea-over-illegal-fishing-in-its-waters/ states;
In 1985, 13 Chinese vessels were operating in African waters. There are now nearly 500. China boasts the world’s largest distant-water fishing fleet. Its vessels stand accused of numerous suspicious and illegal activities.
“China’s fishing fleet plundering African waters” at https://stopillegalfishing.com/press-links/chinas-fishing-fleet-plundering-african-waters/ states;
With dwindling reserves in the South China Sea resulting in more frequent and more violent clashes between Chinese fishermen and those of other littoral states, the trawlers are simply moving farther out to sea — all the way as far as the eastern, southern and west African coasts where they encounter much less competition and coast guard protection. What competition they do face is likely to be from anywhere other than the country whose waters they are fishing in.
The African continent as a whole is so dependent on China to buy its exports that nations there would be at a distinct disadvantage should they have a falling out with China over the activities of its fishing fleet. Since 2008 China has surpassed the U.S. and Europe to become Africa’s biggest trading partner, sucking up Angolan oil, Zambian copper, Guinean bauxite and much more besides.
In return, China has been engaged in a continent-wide infrastructure building spree, including the construction of a $7 billion “mini city” in South Africa and a coastal railway in Nigeria. At the Chinese-African summit in Johannesburg last year, President Xi Jinping pledged a further $60 billion in development investment over three years. Earlier this year China shocked the world by announcing the opening of its first overseas naval base in Djibouti. Either way, it means that China now has a physical foothold in Africa from which to service its rapidly growing navy.
