With the Peolsi trip to Taiwan now appearing confirmed, we are racing into very dangerous territory.

But there is possibly something more valuable than Pelosi’s plane at stake. 🧵
The ambiguity and secrecy behind Pelosi’s route is designed for one thing only: to make it appear as if Pelosi’s plane *might* land in Taiwan while maintaining the plausible deniability that Taiwan was never on the schedule.

But why?
To put China in a heightened state of alert. It’s in this heightened state of alert that the US believes it can better bait China into helping it produce something it cannot convincingly manufacture alone: atrocity propaganda.
The US has a long history of manufacturing atrocity propaganda, and one of their favorite types to produce involves creating situations in which the targets of their aggression are baited into shooting down a passenger plane, or *appear* to shoot one down. ImageImageImageImage
If during the turmoil a passenger plane is shot down, it will scarcely matter what a meticulous forensic investigation concludes a year from now. The US will wield its control over int’l media to immediately pin the blame for whatever happened amidst the fog squarely on China.
The implication will be clear: China has shot down a passenger plane because they are overly militarized and must be countered & isolated.

The primary audience will be Japan/SK/Singapore/Malaysia, who will be pressured into accepting further US militarization aimed at China.
There is some indication that the mysterious disappearance of MH370 in 2014 was in fact the first attempt at such an operation targeting China that was somehow bungled and covered up instead.

But have there been any more recent signs such an operation is again underway?
In March, a China Eastern flight inexplicably crashed.

Was the rush to preempt China’s forensic investigation with unnamed US sources pushing a “suicidal pilots” theory simply a way for Boeing to save face for another major design flaw, or evidence of something more sinister? ImageImageImageImage
Could this China Eastern flight that suddenly pitched into a vertical dive and plummeted into the ground have been a trial run of a new capability the US has to hack passenger planes that is set to be put on display again in this provocation over Taiwan?
Rampant speculation aside, it is important to remember one thing in the coming days: this senseless provocation is entirely of US making and any resulting blood is on their hands, regardless of what initial reports indicate.

US-backed attempts at foreign destabilization always try to leverage *real* grievances, not to bring any resolution to the aggrieved. Quite the opposite, they attempt to intensify.

The only correct position for the western left to take is to oppose *ALL* forms of intervention.

Yellen is once again traveling to Beijing, this time to try to get China to curb “overproduction”.

What's the real goal? 🧵 Image
The goal of this pressure campaign is to somehow convince China to self-sabotage the foundation of their budding prosperity—their means of production—thereby eliminating the competition.

Why don't the capitalist countries try to out-compete China on commodity prices instead?
Image
Image
They've tried!

But due to decades of offshoring productive capacity and hoovering up their best and brightest minds into the financial and "tech" sectors, regaining a competitive edge will require a lot more effort than simply throwing money at the problem.

On Monday, Israeli fighter jets bombed the Iranian consulate in Damascus killing over a dozen people in an outrageous act of provocation against both Iran and Syria.

It is clear that Israel is intent on instigating a direct confrontation with Iran.

What’s the goal? 🧵 Image
While this attack represents a blatant provocation, it is not without precedent by western powers. Those old enough might recall a similarly atrocious act by the US in the 1999 bombing of the Chinese embassy in Belgrade.

In America, a "FICO Credit Score™ " is a blacklist administered by an unelected private oligopoly.

Americans are inducted into this capitalist credit initiative from birth, which controls everything from where they can live and which employer they are allowed to work for. Image
In order to be allowed to live in a house when they're older, Americans must begin taking out loans starting from an early age—even if they don't need a loan.

Americans call this ritual to appease private banks and landlords "building credit".

Image
Image
Image
Before being hired, many employers require Americans to divulge their FICO credit history to assess their trustworthiness.

If deemed insufficiently trustworthy, an applicant will not be hired. Image

This is actually great news for anyone hoping to witness the collapse of dollar hegemony this decade.
Don’t take my word for it though, Yellen herself says as much!
The dollar is the global reserve currency because it's stable. And it's stable because it's the global reserve currency.

Until recently, the dollar maintained this privileged status largely due to the absence of any viable alternative.

But this dominance is being eroded.

It has become clear Israel has no plan beyond trying to force millions of Palestinians into the Sinai desert by starving and bombing all that remain in Gaza. Israel is acting as if any Egyptian objection to this plan is a bluff.

This is utter insanity. 🧵
Despite being led by a US puppet, Egypt is facing a dramatic economic crisis of their own that worsens each day of Israel’s ongoing genocide of the Palestinian people.

Both Suez transit fees and tourism—key buttresses of govt revenue—have fallen off a cliff since Oct 7.
Image
Image
Egypt's recent decision to increase transit fees betrays a level of desperation, since higher fees only make the shipping via the alternate route around Africa more attractive when new insurance risk premiums are factored in, and thus risk additional rerouting. Image
