This from friday and has been on ZH. One of the negative things about ZH now is it continues to post the articles that appear to be new but are several days old. When ZH it was a great site for financial goings on where not much was available. It began a slow slide into what it is now because it was sold and relocated offshore. Hardly blame the original owner as it became necessary as it was being attacked.

It is still a good place for data (charts and graphs on market mecahnics) when they appear. I continue to read it but the number of articles I do read are substantially less because of the need to generate ad revs. As another anon put it best…they are with us as much as they can be without going full on revolutionary as that would be shut down in a second.

 

Since Davos is on the horizon this gentleman's perspective is pertinent imo.

Political Nightmares Multiply for Europe Ahead of Davos

 

Europe’s dreams of integration are slipping away as the people wake up from the nightmare erected for them.

 

As we approach Act IX of the Yellow Vest protests in France and the threats of creating bank runs we get the news that both Presidents Trump and Macron will not be attending the convocation of globalists known as the World Economic Forum at Davos.

 

Trump’s not attending because it’s clear he’s no longer a member of The Davos Crowd and Macron isn’t because any public appearance by him will double the number of people donning high visibility safety gear and taking to the streets.

 

It almost feels like we’ve reached Peak Davos, with these announcements. But, clearly neither of these men are invited because in the minds of The Davos Crowd they no longer figure in their long-term plans.

 

Macron not attending is also a sign his government will be sacrificed on the altar of the Yellow Vests in the near future.

 

The Yellow Vest protests will have to be dealt with in a substantive manner that goes far beyond a few temporary injunctions against higher taxes. They are now vandalizing another symbol of middle class oppression in France, speed cameras.

 

All of the governments of Europe are broke. And the speed camera is simply another in a long line of instances of them trying to squeeze blood from the now impoverished and shrinking middle class.

 

The symbology of them smashing speed cameras and demanding their money from the banks cannot be clearer. When you take everything from someone, when he has nothing left to lose, he becomes free.

 

Free to strike the root, as we libertarians like to say. Go after not just the immediate source of your anger, but the root cause of it. Macron and his Prime Minister Edouard Philippe don’t have any other answer than to crack down harder.

Chinese court: Japanese govt engaged in spying activities

 

Chinese courts have ruled that a Japanese government agency was involved in spying activities in at least three of four cases last year in which Japanese nationals were sentenced to prison for espionage in China, The Yomiuri Shimbun has learned.

 

The Japanese government has persistently denied allegations that it has dispatched spies to foreign countries.

 

The Chinese government enacted a counter-espionage law in November 2014 that stipulates the responsibility of Chinese citizens to cooperate with spying investigations and other operations.

 

The arrests of the Japanese citizens are thought to be connected to China’s escalated campaign to uncover spies.

 

A Chinese court sentenced a 54-year-old man from Aichi Prefecture to 12 years in prison in July 2018 after his arrest in Wenzhou, Zhejiang Province, in May 2015 on spying and other charges.

 

According to sources knowledgeable about Japan-China relations, the court ruled that the man had monitored China Coast Guard vessels from the Nanji Islands off Wenzhou and had provided information to a Japanese government agency. The ruling added that the man had rented a condominium on one of the islands and took many photographs of China Coast Guard ships from the condo.

 

The East Sea branch of the China Coast Guard in Shanghai, which has jurisdiction over the area around the Nanji Islands, is also said to have been granted authority by Beijing over waters around the Senkaku Islands in Okinawa Prefecture.

 

In June 2015, it was learned that a project was under way to build a large-scale coast guard base in Wenzhou’s coastal area. The city of Wenzhou and the China Coast Guard discussed the project at a meeting whose contents were later disclosed. China is thus believed to have been highly sensitive about the behavior of foreign nationals around that time.

 

In another case, a Chinese court said that a Japanese organization had engaged in spying activities in a July 2018 ruling concerning a 58-year-old man from Kanagawa Prefecture. The man was detained in May 2015 in Dandong, Liaoning Province.

 

Another court issued a similar finding last December when it ruled on the case of a 58-year-old female Japanese language school executive who was detained in Shanghai in June 2015.

 

At least eight Japanese nationals have been arrested and charged with spying since 2015.
