It is July, 2020 and the front line in America's political discourse is not the coronavirus pandemic. It's not the US-China relationship. It's not even the looming presidential election.

Gus gets information from the experts at the coal face. Here, they are the little clever guys who specialise in making algorithms for the big guys. No matter what when or who, they know who you are, where you are and what you are saying, NO MATTER THE TECHNOLOGY of the network. The algorithms are THAT sophisticated. Transmissions can easily be captured and decoded.

The banning of Huawei in the US and in most of the Western world is a COMMERCIAL and political decision, in which the US, leading the charge, want to punish China for being clever and cheap.

Some people are impatient, especially doctors, scientists and all of us... In regard to global warming, the disinformation is rife even coming from the brains of intelligent people. We want to fry to make sure global warming is really happening... Consider this tirade from doctor Vernon Coleman who may be a good doctor but knows zip about global warming sciences. His goal is to denigrate Bill Gates and his wife's foundation, and Vernon adds more sauce until he says:

------------------

Next, Gates has been funding scientists at Harvard who are trying to block out the sun’s rays in an attempt to stop global warming. 

Today, Google celebrates the birth of Artemisia Lomi or Artemisia Gentileschi — an Italian Baroque painter, now considered one of the most accomplished seventeenth-century artists working in the dramatic style of Caravaggio.
