Hong Kong Riots Triggering Dollar Sell-Off

28.10.2019

18:36 PST

SF Bay Area, CA – Inevitably, the 2012 US military pivot towards Asia is triggering a massive dollar sell-off as public riots, extreme noise pollution and economic terrorism from Asia-Pacific occur on the regular. Aggressively, Hong Kong is shifting police tactics in the city's ongoing unrest as it warns that the current recession is likely to end with negative growth for the year. Inertly, Hong Kong continues to pressure Beijing into the use of military force as the US military pivot drives public policy against Beijing. Meanwhile, China's economy continues to grow at a rate of over 6 percent this year which creates pressure on Hong Kong and its dollar pegged currency.

Moreover, Japan has intensified its stance against the extreme noise pollution over growing tensions with China from US Air Station Iwakuni. Recently, Japan ordered a halt to US night time and early morning flights which limits US military capacity to meet regional security demands.

Furthermore, the use of economic sanctions and tariffs from the US has forced Hong Kong to sway with hostilities against Beijing as US economic inertia grapples its currency. Currently, China is addressing the downward pressures associated with Hong Kong's dwindling economy such as: increasing trade in Central Asia, expanding its naval combat capacity and fostering closer ties in Africa and Latin America. Recently, China's National Bureau of Statistics spokesperson stated, "In general, although we face a challenging and complex external environment... there are conditions and supportive factors for us to maintain steady economic performance in the fourth quarter of the year."

29.10.2019

00:46 PST

SF Bay Area, CA – Slowly, the US trade war against China is having a major impact on the process of denuclearization with Korea. Economically, Seoul hopes that China overlooks the deployment of the US THAAD missile defense system which has created major tensions over the presence of additional US troops in the region. Meanwhile, China views US relations with North and South Korea as hostile and has insisted on four-party talks to bring an official end to the Korean war. Moreover, the US trade war is targeting China's defense spending to quench reliance on Beijing in the region. Furthermore, unification between North and South Korea remains the underlining issue between China-US trade relations which face inevitable deterioration as US President Donald Trump becomes impeached.

Brazenly, North Korea has continued expanding its nuclear capabilities with multiple test-fires of short-range missiles including SLBMs. Instinctively, China is poised to undertake a political fallout over Korean denuclearization between the US with the two Koreas.

Protectively, North Korea is demanding that the US meets an end of the year deadline for mutual acceptance on terms for denuclearization. Diplomatically, the US continues to slowly deteriorate with its trade war against China which adds tensions over North Korea's recent demands. Accordingly, China's Ministry of Defense spokesman stated, "The US withdrawal from the INF Treaty is yet more evidence it is pursuing unilateralism and shirking international responsibilities, which has direct negative impact on global strategic balance and stability, regional peace and security as well as international arms control systems." Militarily, tensions over denuclearization for China creates greater tensions in the region as the trade war challenges Beijing's eminence.

US Seizes Syrian Oilfield Citing Freedom of Navigation Rights

30.10.2019

21:00 PST

SF Bay Area, CA – Futilely, the US is seeking refuge with Saudi Arabia to uphold its naval claims of freedom of navigation rights. Recently, US Secretary of Energy visited Saudi Arabia to discuss growing threats in the Arabian Gulf which directly oppose US naval freedom of navigation claims. Furthermore, discussions included military use of force to enhance the relationship between the two nations as US military presence in the region remains a top priority for the US. Meanwhile, US troops have seized new oilfield cites in Syria with a reversal of its recent announcement of the withdrawal of troops. Moreover, the US has deployed nearby mechanized troops to the oilfield cites to reinforce its position while threatening military action on any challenges by Syria and Russia.

Obstinately, the US Secretary of Energy stated, "We want to make sure that SDF does have access to resources in order to guard the prisons, in order to arm their own troops, in order to assist us with the defeat-ISIS mission."

Visibly, the US is using the oilfield cites to smuggle oil with Kurdish-backed militants to refute the recovery process in Iraq and Syria. Blindly, US President Donald Trump stated, "We’re keeping the oil. I’ve always said that — keep the oil. We want to keep the oil, $45 million a month. Keep the oil. We’ve secured the oil." He added, "We should be able to take some also, and what I intend to do, perhaps, is make a deal with an ExxonMobil or one of our great companies to go in there and do it properly." Hence, Syria is developing into a major regional confrontation as the US pursues illegal oil revenues to fund militants which has been identified as state-sponsored banditry in Russia.

31.10.2019

07:42 PST

SF Bay Area, CA – Vehemently, Iran is preparing for a military offensive over growing concerns in Syria as the US continues pursuing a new global war to remain in the region as a superpower. Recently, Iran led an unannounced military drill near the Turkey border to test its rapid deployment capabilities in various combat scenarios which focuses on US state-sponsored terrorism. Furthermore, the recent drills tested Iran's capabilities to trap the US and its allies with training banished militias as NATO continues to deploy troops to Syria. Meanwhile, Iran is beefing security around the Red Sea as a recent attack on its oil tanker reflects US sabotage over tensions between the two nations.

Impressively, Iran continues to focus on countering US military aggression while expanding its military capabilities throughout the region. Rapidly, Iran is training its forces to respond to any threat against its sovereignty on very short notice.

Emphatically, Commander of the Iranian Army's Ground Forces said, "Unannounced drills test the combat readiness and the deployment procedures of the mobile strike forces as well as rapid response units and the teams present in the field did a good job." Militarily, Iran is ready to counter US aggression alongside of Israel's threat of Zionist expansionism which has accelerated its nuclear program. Noticeably, Israel continues to rile the US into adding new economic sanctions against Iran to extend its short-term momentum on bonds. Hence, new military drills with Iran stabilizes economic growth from the threat of Zionism in current form of economic terror.

 

Iran Urges for Stronger Recovery Efforts in Region

04.11.2019

01:15 PST

SF Bay Area, CA – Simultaneously, the US is funding Daesh militias world-wide as Iran continues to urge for stronger recovery efforts in the region. Covertly, US troops used an overnight raid to kill Daesh leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi in a bid against facing a troop withdrawal in Syria. Meanwhile, Iran continues to warn the region against US tyranny while accelerating its nuclear program. Unwaveringly, Iran's Chief of Staff Mahmoud Vaezi stated, "The Islamic Republic of Iran’s stance has always been that the governments should pay heed to public demands and the demands should be put forward in such a way that will not lead to disorder, commotion, destruction or the killing and injuring of people." Regionally, the US and Israel remains dangerously involved with war crimes and economic terrorism.

Moreover, Iraq is politically fragile with the presence of US troops who continue to face attacks in the nation. Accordingly, Iran is capable of striking US bases in Iraq (and Syria) over its military aggression with Israel.

Keenly, Iran has extended its military cooperation with the collective security for the Caspian Sea. Militarily, Iran has agreed on joint security training exercises with Russia, Azerbaijani, Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan. Promptly, naval exercises between Iran, Russia and China have also been arranged to boost economic recovery in the region. Hence, Iran has estimated that the economic impact from US sanctions will be eliminated next year as a new major currency conflict looms. Increasingly, US funding for Daesh militants is creating economic inertia as Israel fears Islamic expansionism. Strategically, Iran is poised to safeguard against Zionist political sabotage with economic recovery in Iraq, Afghanistan and Syria.

20:14 PST

Prominently, Daniel Mansuy, PhD a professor at the University of Los Andes stated, "This crisis has persisted for so long because the ruling class in general, and politics in particular, have not yet been able to organize, contain or direct this discontent. The crisis persists because the population does not feel understood by anything or anyone who can provide it with an institutional channel. It is serious." Additionally, Chilean President Sebastian Pinera stated concerning the impact from growing civil unrest in the nation, "We feel and deeply regret the problems and inconveniences that this decision (the declaration of a state of emergency) will signify both for APEC and for the COP. But as president of all Chileans, I always have to place the issues and interests of Chileans, their needs, their desires and their hopes, in the forefront."

SF Bay Area, CA – Aptly, South Africa has received near normal rainfall on many of its farmland which has sparked several regional land development opportunities. Patiently, South Africa's farmers continue to expand cultivating techniques which demands political cooperation as annual rainfall return to normal in the nation. Currently, South Africa's dams have maintained levels above 62% which has led to an expansion in urban farms for Johannesburg. Moreover, pasture conditions are improving in the nation while livestock feed on grassland as irrigation for agriculture continues. Abundantly, urban farms have become increasingly popular in South Africa as economic growth wallows over land development initiatives.

Recently, Africa's National Assembly addressed concerns over belt tightening with growing land development initiatives. Prudently, South Africa's President Cyril Ramaphosa stated, "I hope all South Africans realise we are in a situation where we have to cut back on a number of things in order to save for tomorrow."

Meanwhile, the impact from urban farms continue to accelerate from students and homeless individuals that gain useful skills while working on various farms in Johannesburg. Creatively, the City of Johannesburg developed a communal garden of such kind from an abandoned bowling green. Agriculturally, South Africa is able to invigorate economic growth as budget restraints restrict government spending. Accordingly, economist agriculturist Wandile Sihlobo at South Africa's Agricultural Business Chamber stated, "We are worried about the dryness, but it is not yet at critical level in as far as the broader agricultural story because we are hoping there could be rain in the next few weeks based on South African weather services [forecasts]. But, if that does not happen then we have serious problems."
