Welp. If a fire breaks out in a lower income, but prime real estate area of Manila, we'll probably suspect a land grab following the Maui fires playbook. Ayuda offered in exchange for land titles or resettlement to a cheap, faraway location. Politicians blaming everyone else and this or that lackadaisical fire response, a huge brouhaha over disaster management, and large corporations buying up the burned land. Tondo, Navotas, Malabon, anywhere a squatters tenement exists at this time. I'm hedging the squatters in Quezon City would also be a good candidate for "wildfires".

What I think will happen is that Biden & Xi stage a war but the collateral damage will be curious. The hunch I get is that our domestic elite is not in on the planning. I suspect that the War is scripted to hand over global power to CCP. We can't control the world just the way we respond to it.

"... but the collateral damage will be curious." Your comment reminds me of the curious situation in England where the decrepit Docklands area was bombed repeatedly by Germany. Now look what happened there?

Ditto, allies bombed various German factories but never SKF bearings, which would have had the war grinding, literally, to a halt in weeks, and even more curiously, Ford motors, and Goodyear tyres. Hmm? I can tell you what got bombed though. The factory that built the world's first Diesel compressed air locomotive. Like a Diesel electric but much, much better. As a Mark1 version, it was 30% more efficient. Imagine how much better later versions would be? Can't have that.

!!!??? Published on Amazon BEFORE it was over - okay, that is, well... Also - AI or no, putting it into the Amazon format takes work. It is a pain in the ass, from what I have heard from authors. Takes time. I looked at the reviews, reviewers gave it 1 star and much criticism. I didn't check the other titles, but I would not be surprised if those are similarly scored.

That was excellent!! I watched it yesterday. I shared it far and wide, even linked it on my FB page! (Yes I still have a FB page…with very few friends, mostly family! 😜)

It was linked on another Substack…forget where though! 🙄
