Elon Musk Brings China Chief Tom Zhu to Texas


Published originally on the CTH on December 10, 2022 | Sundance 

Xiaotong (Tom) Zhu joined Tesla in 2014. Before that Zhu was Vice President for Kaibo Engineering Group, a China-based project management firm that focuses on overseas projects (One Belt – One Road) invested by the Chinese government.

One would think a project manager tied to the key initiatives of Chairman Xi, would have deep CCP ties.  There is also speculation that Mr. Musk may be assigning Mr. Zhu to be the lead of Tesla internationally.

(Via Bloomberg) Elon Musk has tapped a longtime Tesla Inc. executive in China who oversaw construction of the Shanghai gigfactory to help run the electric carmaker’s newest plant in Austin, Texas, people familiar with the matter said.

Tom Zhu, who joined Tesla in 2014 to help build its Supercharger network and most recently has been heading the carmaker’s Asia Pacific operations, is in Austin this week and has brought some of his engineering team from China with him to assist in overseeing the ramp up of Giga Texas — a US hub for the Model Y and future production of the Cybertruck — the people said, asking not to be identified because they’re not authorized to speak publicly.

It’s not clear how long Zhu will be in Austin for, or whether he will retain his Asia responsibilities, the people said.

Representatives at Tesla in the US and China didn’t respond to requests for comment. Zhu wasn’t immediately able to be contacted. Musk also didn’t respond to messages seeking comment.

The shift of Zhu to Austin comes as Tesla has been trying to increase output at its new Texas factory. The US electric vehicle pioneer originally planned to make Model Y SUVs using its new, larger 4680 lithium-ion cells at the plant, which Musk referred to as a “money furnace” earlier this year. But instead, Tesla has pivoted to using older 2170 cells considering the new batteries weren’t ready for volume production. (read more)

Flirting With the End Times?

QUESTION: You have said you have backtested your ECM into ancient times. Have these cycles been consistent? Have you arrived at a conclusion as to why?

Thank you. It was a great WEC. I for one always lean a lot.

EL

ANSWER: Yes, I have reconstructed the monetary system of the world using the coinage so it is possible to actually backtest to see how these cycles have prevailed for millennia. The debasement of the silver coinage. The reforms of Diocletian and how the bronze follis declined once more.

No matter where you look, you see the steady unfolding of a decline and fall of the monetary system. These people who think a return to the gold standard will somehow prevent corruption or inflation are just living in a dream world. When money was just a coin, inflation still existed. You cannot escape this – EVER!

My next book is to get this out ASAP. Here, I have backtested the model and I believe that this incorporates everything from climate, war, and human nature that is behind the rise and fall of civilizations throughout history. Naturally, academics will be against it because they do not want to accept that there is any regularity to the business cycle for that means that government does NOT have the power to manipulate society as Marx and Keynes told them.

We are clearly flirting with the end times insofar as the decline & fall of Western Culture. I have traced this back to ancient times and its regularity has been impressive.

Even the collapse of the Bronze Age Civilization was two times the 31.4-year intervals of the 51.6-year wave. You can feel it. We are tearing everything that held society together apart at the seams. Civilizations rise when everyone benefits. They fall when one group begins to exploit another. That is what is taking place right now.

Time Magazine Bestows “Person of Year” Award to the World’s Largest Beneficiary of Taxpayer Funding


Posted originally on the CTH on December 7, 2022 | Sundance 

Comrade rebels, this is as fitting an attribution as one could make, given the state of international affairs.

Time Magazine has decreed their oft coveted “Person of The Year” award to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, the world’s richest man as delivered by congress via U.S. taxpayers.

The actor-turned-president was bestowed the honor during an announcement on Wednesday by Time Magazine Editor-in-Chief Edward Felsenthal on the TODAY show.

The media outlet credits Zelenskyy’s courage, leadership and magnanimous stewardship of Ukraine’s defense, as well as victory in framing the international public image of the embattled nation.

(Via NPR) – […] “Whether one looks at this story of Ukraine with a sense of hope or a sense of fear, and the story is, of course, not fully written yet … Zelenskyy has really galvanized the world in a way we haven’t seen in decades,” Editor-in-Chief Edward Felsenthal said when revealing the news on the TODAY show.

The cover features a profile of Zelenskyy in his classic army-green sweater, surrounded by individual figures and crowds of protesters. They are interspersed with bright yellow sunflowers and blue-and-yellow Ukrainian flags. (read more)

BREAKING! This is about to EXPLODE, Putin says he’s done negotiating | Redacted News


Redacted News Published originally on Rumble on December 6, 2022 

NATO led forces in Ukraine just killed a member of the Russian parliament in Donetsk. Russian President Vladimir Putin says he’s done negotiating with Ukraine. That means we are about to see a massive escalation of this war. Biden backs down on Iran and calls for negotiations as the press gets duped by “an end” to the morality police. We got our hands on Dr. Fauci’s 446 page deposition and it is stunning.

The End of Freedom & Our Right to Even Vote


Armstrong Economics Blog/Politics Re-Posted Dec 5, 2022 by Martin Armstrong

Naturally, I have received emails from those on the left and Elon Musk appears to be rising to that coveted spot of hatred once monopolized by Trump. Musk has outright suggested that Twitter was acting under government orders to suppress free speech, with his remarks coming hot on the heels of the release of a trove of documents that lift the lid on some of the social media platform’s censorship machinations around the 2020 presidential election.

The problem is that the LEFT never looks at anything objective. They have their agenda to rule over everyone and it will always come down to civil war, violence, and blood in the streets because they will NEVER back down – it has to be their way of no way. They do not believe in any democratic process.

So while they will dismiss such stories as conspiracy theories, in New Zealand, the government has admitted that Facebook gave them direct access to flag what they wanted to be censored. The rumor behind the curtain is that Zuckerberg has provided the same privilege to the USA so he could get the authority to move into banking.

The LEFT has been moving globally to seize power and the risk remains that their objective is precisely one of the points of the WEF’s 8 forecasts – the end of Democracy. They want to seize power and become a dictatorship with their philosophy and strip us of our right to even vote. They argue that the system is collapsing so they need to seize all power, The future they envision is very dark and cold.

In all honesty, if we can buy online securely, then why can we not vote online? My staff could have written the code to allow national voting I bet in less than 30 days. NEVER in my entire life have we ever had to wait so long to find out who won an election. In the ’60s, we knew that night. With the advancement of technology, the method of voting has been moving back in time. Even in the Roman Empire, they knew who would win an election in less than 24 hours.

All of this chaos in voting is ominous indeed. It appears to be setting up the entire affair to end elections and we must then face just a usurpation of power. The net result of these elections is to undermine the public confidence in voting anyhow. Joseph Stalin perhaps is the only one to ever tell the truth about elections.
