If anyone wants to know Chinese, two ways are available. first is to send large amount of students, travelors, visitors, businessmen, etc. to experience their everyday life. second is to have a tour to rain forest in Xishuangbanna in Yunan, called easten amazon rain forest.

I get some senses and little understanding on the conspiracy of Hera, Poseidon, and Athena to chain Zeus. I still don't understand why Qing dynasty. I think it is a mistake.

The only positive and useful result is the core of Chinese communist party, becoming lantern with completely opening the market of mainland although the party earns the confidence.

The ability of Chinese people to understand things is becoming more and more primitive, caused by technology.

But the minorities living in China is paying the price they should not have paid for. When following me, the evidences are everywhere for picking up. Is there any question about my conclusion, the lost continent?

Look at Detroit vs Shanghai:

Now read what Jeremy Grantham said: "China uses 53 percent of all the cement used on the planet -- not traded, just used. They use 47 percent of all the coal, 46 percent of all the iron ore. These are unimaginable numbers. And if they mean to even slow down to seven percent, it means 10 years from now we`ve got to find another 47 percent coal, just for China."

Oh Charlie . . . Oh my.

Cyber what?

Our society runs on electricity. We need to address this crucial vulnerability and strengthen the power grid through decentralized generation of clean energy sources. Developing as many 'Energy Farmers' as possible will help the economy by spreading the wealth to those who will spend it. The cost of power will be more predictable, and steadily go down. Our economy will not be subject to diminishing finite natural resources and the instability of the governments that control those resources. This will also save lives and trillions of dollars spent waging war over the almighty oil. And then there is that other issue of eliminating the carbon that is irreversibly altering the climate and wreaking havoc on everything that lives on this planet. http://www.thethirdindustrialrevolution.com/

Charlie, this might hit your pocketbook:

A 2009 attack on Coca-Cola coincided with the beverage giant’s failed attempt to acquire the China Huiyuan Juice Group for $2.4 billion, according to people with knowledge of the results of the company’s investigation.

As Coca-Cola executives were negotiating what would have been the largest foreign purchase of a Chinese company, Comment Crew was busy rummaging through their computers in an apparent effort to learn more about Coca-Cola’s negotiation strategy.

The attack on Coca-Cola began, like hundreds before it, with a seemingly innocuous e-mail to an executive that was, in fact, a spearphishing attack. When the executive clicked on a malicious link in the e-mail, it gave the attackers a foothold inside Coca-Cola’s network. From inside, they sent confidential company files through a maze of computers back to Shanghai, on a weekly basis, unnoticed.

This was also the fear with David Petraeus. Central Intelligence Agency Director of Security Mary Rose McCaffrey talks about evolving cyber threats to national security.

Buffer to 34:14 and hear about Petraeus and that his computer was scanned every day.

“He (CIA DIRECTOR PETRAEUS) has been so educated in this new job and he is so smart and so good at this but even four stars have room to learn.”

HILARIOUS QUOTE!!!

TERRIFYING! MOST TROUBLING!

David Sanger mentions this very quickly:

"But the most troubling attack to date, security experts say, was a successful invasion of the Canadian arm of Telvent. The company, now owned by Schneider Electric, designs software that gives oil and gas pipeline companies and power grid operators remote access to valves, switches and security systems.

Telvent keeps detailed blueprints on more than half of all the oil and gas pipelines in North and South America, and has access to their systems. In September, Telvent Canada told customers that attackers had broken into its systems and taken project files. That access was immediately cut, so that the intruders could not take command of the systems.

Martin Hanna, a Schneider Electric spokesman, did not return requests for comment, but security researchers who studied the malware used in the attack, including Mr. Stewart at Dell SecureWorks and Mr. Blasco at AlienVault, confirmed that the perpetrators were the Comment Crew.

“This is terrifying because — forget about the country — if someone hired me and told me they wanted to have the offensive capability to take out as many critical systems as possible, I would be going after the vendors and do things like what happened to Telvent,“ Mr. Peterson of Digital Bond said. “It’s the holy grail.”

Shanghaiing was what they used to do to Sailors. Now its data.

Thanks to Sanger for his attention to this, to what Congress has a handle on, where these threats are heading, how privately, nationally, and internationally, this is being addressed. "Weapon" is certainly getting redefined.

The only good thing I can say about this is that it might redirect the focus from our plan to invade most of the Middle East. I think this is mostly industrial espionage and thus probably a good thing, because the sooner the Chinese reach a comfortable level of development, the sooner we can expect tensions to ease. And I think Netanyahu is using the Iran situation only for political purposes.
