Folks I keep highlighting all these aircraft carriers that China is building. There is a reason for this. First watch the short video.

 

The greatness of any civilisation is always dependent on their ability to do the same things their neighbours are doing but faster, more efficient, cheaper and better.

Before the Romans became conquerors they developed advanced construction tools and techniques including the use of Roman concrete to build buildings. They also mastered the building of good quality roads. 

I have been fortunate to see the famous Pantheon building in Rome. It is over 2000 years old but it is an absolute mega project by any measure. The free standing dome is perfect. The huge opening at the top of the dome is also perfectly circular. Plus the building is huge. The Romans were internally sufficient and strong before they ventured out of their country.

In comparison the Mongols were not a strong civilisation. They were nomadic and did not develop permanent economic resilience (like being able to build large buildings). However the Mongols mastered moving large numbers of people (soldiers) at breakneck speed on horseback and in huge formations. They were the earliest logistics experts. You wanted to move 20,000 people overnite, the Mongols did it at full gallop.

Their ability to move large formations of people (soldiers) and their advanced logistics of feeding and supplying so many people on the move gave them a great advantage over other armies whose top speed was the walking speed of a foot soldier. 

During times when most armies marched for days, took days to pitch tents and wait for combat  the Mongols could appear suddenly and run circles around them. The Mongols used bows and arrows but they could shoot them from the back of a horse at full gallop and in formation - which had a very devastating effect. But they did not know how to build cities and buildings. The Mongols conquered the largest empire on earth but their empire lasted 162 years.  

The Roman Empire lasted over 1,000 years. The longest lasting empire in the world was the Tamil Chola empire which ruled from Tamil Nadu to Indo China, Malaya, Indonesia and southern Philippines  for 1500 years. Hence today the Thai King is named "Rama X Maha Vajiralongkorn". The Thais call their country 'Suwarna-bumi' or Land of Gold. Further south Malays call themselves bumi-putra which in Tamil/Sanskrit means prince of the soil.

Back to the Chinese. In 1977 the Chinese launched their Four Modernisations. But actually there was only one key word "modernisation". It meant a modern, up todate, cutting edge,  science and technology based civilisation. No religion, no hocus pocus, no sentiments. 

I was first astounded by China's capacity to build a 10 storey building in like five days. Now they can build 50 storey buildings in 40 days.  

A single standard American railway track is 13 yards long (39 feet). In China a single rail is 500 meters long or 1,500 feet. Can you see the difference?

The Chinese Ministry of Railway Construction alone employs over 14 million Civil Servants. The entire population of the US Civil Service is much less - including the US Army, Navy and Airforce.

China manufactures over 26 million motor vehicles a year. Second place United States produces "only" 9 million vehicles a year.

Great societies are not based on the greatness of their gods, their philosophies or their religions. Great societies are built on roads, trains, food production, housing, education and other useful things.

Coming back to aircraft carriers they have applied the same modernisation techniques to building aircraft carriers.

The Chinese method is to have one generation of technology already in operation, while the second generation is under construction and the third generation is under development. This means their technology is constantly improving.

The Chinese are mass producing giant aircraft carriers. The various parts of an aircraft carrier are made in factories often located inland away from the sea. Crew cabins, control towers, engine compartments etc are actually made in factories. Then once the keel of the aircraft carrier is laid down in the shipyard the ready made compartments  are bolted or welded into place. This is why the Chinese took 24 months from keel laying to launch of the Fujian, their 3rd aircraft carrier.  24 months.

The Americans took 15 years to build one aircraft carrier the USS Gerald Ford!! The Indians took 23 years to build the INS Vikrant !!

The strength of a civilisation is not its power projection. Thats what happened to the Mongols. They conquered the world and then disappeared in 162 years.

The strength of a  civilisation is its ability to build its own people and its own society to great heights. 

We can see that strength in China today. No other nation comes close.  We are fortunate to witness this event in human history.

REMARKABLE.REMARKABLE REMARKABLE. REMARKABLE! 

How Lebanon became a Muslim majority country overnight 

Lessons Hindus can learn from the Lebanese Civil War. 

And  how political Islam conquers a non-Muslim country even in the contemporary age. It is not allowed for a Muslim to live in a country ruled by a non-Muslim. That is because non-Muslims are necessarily inferior to Muslims in the Islamic scheme of things. 

If they actually do they should strive to convert that country into a Muslim majority country.

Lebanon is a small country in West Asia on the Mediterranean coast. 

In 1970s, except Israel, it was the only non-Muslim majority country in the region. And it was also the only other democracy. And it was its democracy which ultimately led to its takeover by Muslims.

Beirut, its capital was called the Paris of the East. 

Despite being resource rich, it was always a great city because Lebanon is a part of the Levant, which connects Africa, Asia and Europe and so always on the trade crossroads of three continents making it rich and diverse.

Its cultural diversity was legendary. It was the only home to the Maronite Christians, an ancient branch of eastern Syrian Christianity which had been wiped out from its original home in Antioch (which is now a completely Muslim city in Turkey).

At their independence the former French Mandate of Syria was divided into two independent countries with Lebanon as the Christian majority country and Syria as the Muslim majority country. 

Lebanon was a democracy while Syria was a dictatorship.

And as soon as Lebanon became independent, the neighboring Islamic countries set about for invading and turning it into an Islamic country by changing its demography. 

This is where we need to understand the refugee strategy of Islam.

Islam uses Muslim refugees as foot soldiers of Islamic expansion in non-Muslim countries. In a brilliant tactical maneuver, Islam has managed to turn even a great humanitarian crisis, like a civil war, or a plunging economy, into an instrument of Islamic expansion.

Even a civil war in a completely Islamic country is something that Islam turns into a vehicle of Islamic colonization of neighboring non-Muslim countries. The civil war displaces people in massive numbers with unspeakable atrocities and great human tragedy. 

The tragedy is genuine but it is used for an ulterior motive. 

These refugees then flee outside the borders of the Islamic countries from where they come from: and they appeal to non-Muslim countries for asylum.

Many goals are achieved with this: first the refugees do get a better life in a democracy run by non-Muslim ethics and law. They enjoy all the fruits of a free country. And they get to further the cause of Islam, by increasing Muslim population in a non-Muslim country.

This is exactly what happened with an unsuspecting Christian majority in Lebanon in 1970-71. Jordan and Syria pushed the brunt of their Muslim populations towards Lebanon, the only non-Muslim majority country in the region except Israel, changing its delicate demography.

Terrorist organizations (Shia & Sunni) encouraged Muslims to infiltrate key government institutions & start agitation to take control, but under the label of ‘Left’. Foot soldiers of Islamic terrorists in Lebanon became ‘leftist’, without having to do anything with the left.

Automatically the hapless majority Christians became ‘rightist’, for no reason.

The terrorists knew that in a world which had just recovered from a World War started by a Nazi-fascist alliance would lap up anything and anyone going by the tag ‘leftist’. This is exactly what happened. Global media demonized Christian ‘majority’ of Lebanon in rabid leftist swearology, calling them as fascists who were usurping the rights of the Muslim leftist minority. Muslims were depicted in terms designed to generate global sympathy.

So a ‘rightist’ Christian ‘majority’ of few lakh isolated Lebanese Christians was portrayed as the ‘oppressor’ against a rapidly increasing population of ‘leftist’ ‘oppressed’ Muslims who took benefit of trans-national networks of global Islam of a billion strong population. 

The Muslims started taking city after city. First western Beirut, then Sidon, then Tyre. These ancient Christian cities were completely Islamized. 

The Muslims had now grown to around 44%. It is then that they started the Civil War.

Leftist historians still whitewash the Lebanese Civil War saying that it is the Christians who started it. (Just like in #NupurSharma case). 

But the Muslim attacks on Christians had become so frequent that the Christians had no option but to defend what was left. As city after city was cleansed of Christians they started armed defense of their territories. Soon a full blown Civil War was upon them. The Christians were isolated militarily, geographically and ideologically with the world media still portraying them as aggressors.

And the Muslims were globally networked with all Islamic countries and had a geographical contiguity with a Muslim country Syria which was too willing to provide them with arms, terrorists and more Muslim refugees to further tilt the balance in Islam’s favor.

The Civil War lasted ten years till 1991 and by the time it ended the situation had reversed and Muslims had become majority and Christians had become minority. The situation is getting worse every year with Christians migrating to Americas every year.

Lebanon has now a 63% Muslim majority with current Islamic refugee crisis adding more trouble. 

Every year the Christians are fleeing to South America, seen as safe haven for them and the Hezbollah, as well as Sunni terrorist organizations are becoming stronger. The outcome of the War was decided even before it officially started. 

A loose coalition of local Christian militias, beleaguered by the West, were no match against the well coordinated Muslims, backed by global Islamic community with a mission of conquering the world.

Post-war, Muslims forced Christian militias to give up arms while Islamic terrorist organizations like Hezbollah came to virtually rule the country and used it as a springing board of Iran to attack Israel. So did the Sunni terrorist organizations use Lebanon against Israel.

The lesson to learn here is this: no war with Islam is local. 

Islam always thinks globally. Local majority of non-Muslims means nothing, especially if you are in a geographical region surrounded by Muslim countries. Non-Muslims in such case are always minorities.

The Lebanon story has much to teach India. 

Our situations are frighteningly similar:

• India is a lone Hindu majority country surrounded by fundamentalist Islamic countries. 
• Indian Muslims play victimhood as minority while coordinating with global Islam.
• Indian Muslims align with the Left, while portray the Hindus as rightists. 
• Global media, quite literally paid by Islamic countries and terrorist organizations demonize Hindus globally and spreads the myth of persecuted Muslim minority of India.
• Hindus see the Hindu-Muslim problem as the local thing. 
• While the Muslims are clear that they are fighting a global war of world conquest and domination by Islam and Muslims. 
• Hindus are infighting while Muslims are united, just like Christians in Lebanonn Lebanon, Syria provided arms and terrorists and Jordan provided Muslim refugees. 
• In India too, Pakistan provides arms and terrorists while Bangladesh provides us Muslim refugees. Pockets in India are now completely Islamic just like Lebanon.
• If Hindus hope to survive as Hindus and preserve Hindu culture, civilization and the way of living, the case of Lebanon is a grim reminder and a potent warning about what lies ahead in the path Or our children tomorrow will listen to another such story.

GMTT Summary

 https://www.marketwatch.com/story/catastrophically-bad-inflation-report-is-boosting-chances-of-a-75-basis-point-hike-in-june-or-july-11654876860

1. Equities are selling off again with a lot of macro data points to digest ahead of CPI later today in US.
2.  China’s Covid situation is regressing.
3. The hawkish pivot from several central banks this week triggering rates higher & stock markets lower is causing a negative feedback loop amongst other global markets. 
4. As earlier predicted, the increasing number of corporate profit warnings is up, as inventories swell. 
5. I did say earlier inventories build up will happen as inflation prolongs...as they tend not to age well.
6. With monetary policy feeding lower growth expectations, there is a degree of circularity stagflation concerns building as central banks continue surprising to the hawkish side with no end in sight until inflation moves more convincingly towards the target. 
7. Indeed, this week highlights a broader point about central banks’ implicit comfort in accepting lower asset prices....and that dear readers, is called disinflation.

What does it all mean? ☝️

It takes roughly 4 - 7 months b4 effects on CPI (consumerism) is felt by exporting nations...

By end year locally, we will be in stormier political and economic waters than now unfortunately; in so much as lower liquidity, increasing supply chain disruption, weaker ringgit & more global geopolitical tensions effects inventories and rising prices....causing the citizenry to be angry at leadership for their discomforts.

Watch closely countries Central Banks and monetary policy changes as these changes will throw a monkeys spanner into growth projections and investments into countries

....which effect job growth and injects fear factors into analysis

...which means Business owners as usual will be over exagerating price increases and this will show in Producer Price Index thus _increasing risk factors_ to  retail price controls 

....which means countries with large subsidies will see huge cost increases in subsidies

....which will mean further _controlled lowered currency_ to increase export price competition and thus help accelerate taxation collection from exporters!

Yang suffers as usual will be the savings value/rate and retirement funds of individual citizens as their money buys lesser goods.
