Does china exert influence on Domestic Transportation?

This might be an eye opener, and is certain to raise your ire.

I'm having a hard time reading the notes I took, following an interesting conversation with a man who has re-focused his business.

I'm not sure he has abandoned transportation, or just the specialized part. He has the interested ear of at least one congressman, and it seems they are investigating this fairly aggressively.

These countries are more our enemy than our friend: china, russia, pakistan, venezuela and other countries.

For those of you with accounts on the internet load boards, you may wish to do a check of the back history of the people that tender loads to you.

You have to go deep.
Look for foreign-owned brokers, and look for the umbrella company. These brokers can under-bid legitimate brokers, because they are subsidized by their chineze parent - the umbrella.

These brokers are wreaking havoc with legitimate brokers.

The ultimate objective is to bankrupt the USA.

Transportation is a national defense resource.
Muck up transportation, and you muck up the national economy.... Even beyond what the Establishment politicians are already doing.

If you can break transportation, what are your chances of breaking the USA?

If you are part of a larger company, with your own load board, it might help to compare what you see there, with what you see on the public load boards.

I'm told that Tibet is china's nemesis. Regardless of the population numbers.
We cannot support Tibet to any real extent.
The chineze acquired missle technology, a few years ago.
If we were to support Tibet, the chineze will say:
"We can reach you, now."


There appears to be a lot of behind the scene activity. I'm totally clueless, other than my ability to interpret my own notes.

Plus, the peripheral evidence that makes the various news and economic shows in the media. Things start to make sense, from an elevated level.

In other words, you need to look at a little bigger picture, then one that is a little bigger than that, and so on, over the course of time.

This is one of the reasons that I've felt that this economic slump is different, this time.

We are in a civil war - if you are a liberal, you are my enemy.
We are in an economic war, from within and from without.
We are under attack from within and from outside our borders.
We are in a number of other subsidiary wars, I'm sure.
I just can't recite them all, right here, right now.

I'm a messenger.
I know a lot of stuff, but I ain't all that smart.
It is times like this, that I wish I had studied more, when I was in school.

And, today's student should be encouraged to study more, and with more independence from the teacher. Today's teachers and professors, are agents of the state. Much like the police, the highway patrol and the various regulatory agencies.

I'm told that Tibet is china's nemesis.

nem·e·sis (nm-ss)
n. pl. nem·e·ses (-sz)
1. A source of harm or ruin: Uncritical trust is my nemesis.
2. Retributive justice in its execution or outcome: To follow the proposed course of action is to invite nemesis.
3. An opponent that cannot be beaten or overcome.
4. One that inflicts retribution or vengeance.
5. Nemesis Greek Mythology The goddess of retributive justice or vengeance.

I think you need to focus on God, your family, your business. Make sure the foundational things of your personal life are in order.

Don't get me wrong, I don't believe for a minute those three huge skyscrapers folded up at freefall speeds like accordians on 9/11 because two of them were hit by airplanes. They weren't designed to do that and no one is claiming they were. However, if you think Tibet is China's nemesis, just make sure the fundamentals of your life are in good shape. Tibet isn't China's nemesis, it's a sparsely populated country that has been overrun by the Han Chinese and whose native culture is being wiped out. As far as the rest of your post goes, the US is in debt from 10-50 trillion dollars, depending how you look at it, and we may be headed full steam toward a depression (I don't have a sense of a timeframe for this, however). This country is REALLY under assault by much more than Muslim terrorists and if there is anything going on specifically in the transportation sector of the economy, I wouldn't be too worried because it's going on many other places as well- Wall Street, the Fed, the lobbyists...

Find and hold onto security in Jesus. The Bible tells us we should not be surprised at the fiery trials we will face.

I don't recognize the picture. Honestly, I'm not sure if you are making fun of me or if you dig around in any of this. Just yesterday, I was reading credible, mainstream British news articles about the 9/11 hijackers who...are still alive, at home in their countries working. I could go on and on and on...but I mostly do that kind of thing on another board.

2, this country has been in decline for many years. It really started in the 1960's. In fact, an argument could be made that it started earlier. The country has lost it's moral compass. People look to the government to satisfy their needs rather than looking to GOD. Greed and government over regulation has chased thousands of businesses abroad in search of less regulation, cheaper labor and higher profits.

You can thank Bill Clinton for enabling China to build rockets that can accurately target the U.S. He gave them the technology. I would not be surprised if he got a little under the table on this one. He also gave them a foothold in California, where they can bring in about anything they want into this country.

Is that Rev? He's got a little more panache than I would have figured.

It didn't take Clinton's 11th hour pardon of Marc Rich for me to lose all respect for him. What people don't realize is that you can't take comfort in the Republican party, either. The most profligate spenders of the past 30 years have been Reagan and Bush 43- it's the neocons behind them, the neocons didn't just show up when 43 road into town. As individual human beings, I think both Reagan and 43 were/are very good men...but we don't know them because of personal friendships. No one gets to be president without backroom meetings and backers and any president is heavily reliant on both his backers and his advisors. 43 seems to be a lightweight, he was probably more reliant on his advisors than most. The Republican party is no safe haven, and neoconservatism is not conservatism- however much money the talking heads are making demonizing the 'loathesome liberals'.

[GMAN]

A good part of Reagan's spending was due to having to rebuild the military. Clinton gutted the military to the point where they could not even get parts to repair equipment. I spoke with a number of military personnel during that time. Clinton was not a friend of the military. I think his idea was to lower our military capability so that we would need to rely on the UN for our survival, with himself at the head. Bush has been a disappointment with all his reckless spending. The democrats should love him. We have no need for another government bureaucracy, such as the Homeland Insecurity Agency. It is just another inefficient government agency that will come back to bite us at some point. I equate them with the SS in Germany during the 1930's. We don't see much of this yet, but the potential is certainly there. They have implemented a number of costly, useless initiatives, such as background checks for hazmat endorsements and other background checks for ports, etc., It does little, if anything for security and only costs us more money. It does raise money for the agency. We have too many lawyers in public office and others who have never held a real private sector job or started and ran a successful business.

I haven't gotten there yet in my reading, but I suspect the Homeland Insecurity department, as you say, was largely about breaking the backs of the existing security agencies and filling them up with proxies. I read somewhere that a large number of CIA officers have quit.

The DIA is the Defense Department's version of the CIA. Bush's posse road into town looking for a way to attack Iraq from day one. All the career intelligence personnel weren't singing the song the neocons wanted to hear. So, instead of Bush getting his intel from the CIA and the DIA like he is supposed to, the DoD under Rumsfeld set up the Office of Special Plans to produce the fraudulent intelligence that would later be used to lead us to war with Iraq. It wasn't simply a mistake that we found no WMD in Iraq (I don't mean roach killer, either) or that Al Qaeda had nothing to do with Saddam Hussein and that they were in fact enemies. These things were known by the intelligence community so the neocons set up the OSP to propagate these lies- they weren't mistakes, they were flat out lies.

I think our intelligence agencies have done a very good job of keeping this country safe for many decades. I suppose you could make a case for conspiracies concerning Iraq, 9/11 and other issues. It would not be much of a stretch to see a conspiracy in either or both of these events. It would not be the first time those in power have conspired to deceive the American public. By making the Homeland Security Agency a cabinet level position, as it was originally presented, gives the President much more power and control. And when we hear a President use the term "Executive Order" it is a way to circumvent the Constitution and the checks and balances our forefathers put in place.

That's interesting, I haven't looked into any of that yet, including the Patriot act. I can just imagine, though.

A couple of weeks ago they finally came out with the official explanation of what happened to WTC building seven- it burned down....burned down.... That's what happened Gman, it burned down!

Steel framed building, we've seen these things ravaged by fire before, much moreso than the fires inside building seven. They've been building steel framed skyscrapers for 100 years and they've never just...burned down... The demolitions of the twin towers were different from building seven. I think it's very clear building seven was a classic, controlled demolition. It's very obvious. The twin towers were a different story (no pun :wink: ), they were demolitioned from the top down, not the bottom up. For anyone paying attention, the government is caught red handed with building seven, I can't see anyway around it. And, if they would, as Larry Silverstein (the building's lessee) said, "pull it", and then come out seven years later and say, 'ah shoot, it just burned down', there's good reason to ask, 'who else is lying about what and why?.'

I know all this is unsettling for people, though. Unless there is interest, I'll do this elsewhere and use this board to talk about trucking.

People started becoming more distrustful about our government around the time of JFK's assassination and the Warren report. One gunman with a bolt action rifle killed the President and had what has been termed a "Magic Bullet" that hit John Conley, then governor of Texas. The trajectories were wrong from the body reactions of the president. For those of us who grew up during those times, none believe the reports we heard. I think most believe we have a conspiracy concerning his death and subsequent cover up.

Yeah, you know GMAN, I never paid any attention to JFK's assassination, and when Oliver Stone's movie came out I never paid any attention to it thinking it's just sensationalism. Now, 45 years later, I saw the other night both the History Channel and the Discovery channel showing two separate investigations into the assassination at the same time. It just doesn't go away, does it?

I never gave 9/11 a second thought until about a year ago. I started doing a little reading on a message board, thinking about the things I was reading, Googling and digging...the more I learn the more certain it is. Without having taken much of a look, yet, I'm pretty sure there's more to that story than just one malcontent attention *****.

There were a number of very unusual event that happened that day. Taken individually, it might not mean much, but combined you could make a very good case for a conspiracy at the highest levels of our government. I won't go into some of the details, but you see things from a much different perspective when you live through it. Some have associated JFK's death as the end of innocence in this country. As far as 9/11 is concerned, I would not be surprised if there was more to it.

The rest of the world has known that for like ever. Fear of losing US trade, fear of being labeled a terrorist and all the rest of it is why people just shake their heads and say nothing. Americans as far as I can tell, pretty much fall into two camps 1) they beat the war drum like their good president tells them to do, or 2) they stare at their shoes and keep quiet.

Home of the brave. Land of the free.
