#Bitcoins, #tulips, #diamond, fiat money, #gold, #investment, #investment mania,

Bitcoins, Tulips, Sparkling Diamonds, Fiat Moneys and Gold.

You may want to store your earning surplus for rainy days. Here are a number of easy options, including those of the current and past investment manias! They are gold, fiat money, sparkling diamonds, tulips and bitcoins.

1. Bitcoins.

Imagine a club with limited number of equal ranking memberships (less than 10 million memberships). The memberships are transferable (can be resold), you can buy more than one membership, and memberships are well protected from counterfeiting

(using Blockchain technology).
Currently the price for each membership is higher than $1000US and keeps on rising. Memberships from competing

similar clubs are also booming.
How much would you pay for one membership to belong to the club? US$16000 or US$10000 or US$1000 or US$100 ?
The club is now known as the Bitcoin Owners Club. Competing clubs are for owners of other crypto-currencies.

2. Tulips

Figure: Tulips (currently at $2 a bulb).

Tulips are beautiful flowers which require skillful cultivation and are perishable.There was an (informal) club of Tulips owners in Holland. Anyone owning a beautiful tulip is automatically its member (You don’t need to grow the flowers yourself, you can buy them from anyone and they are good until they perish!). This informal club flourished then quickly dissolved itself in Holland. The phenomenon is named the Tulips Investment Mania.
Obviously people have to grow tulip flowers to harvest them and the total number of tulips is limited as their total mass cannot exceed the mass of our plannet Earth!How much are you prepared to pay for a beautiful Dutch tulip now?

There were numerous analogue repeats of the tulips mania in Vietnam. They did not use tulips but used instead chameleons, quails, specific types of fish in fish tanks. Those manias all ended up in the same way.

Figure: Any other flowers can also be used to start a mania.

3. Sparkling Diamonds.

Figure: Glass model of a “brilliant cut” diamond.

The sparkling diamonds are mined and marketed by De Beer Group. Its successful marketing slogan is “Diamonds are forever”. You pay high price for any diamond but you would be lucky to get half of that money when reselling the diamond immediately after buying.

Nevertheless, girls are still asking their husbands for diamonds!

4. Fiat money

Figure: Fiat money can always be used to pay taxes. .

You are forced to receive your salary in the fiat money of the country you are living in!

Fiat money may partially “perish” due to inflation or may (very rarely) appreciate due to its scarcity.

Fiat money can always be used to settle your taxes, service fees and fines with your government whereas tulips and bitcoins cannot.

Figure: Modified photograph of a note of US$100, the best known fiat currency in the World.

5. Gold.

Figures: 1 ounce gold slab.

Gold is a compact commodity. It can be swapped for any other commodity when there is a need.

There is always a demand for gold everywhere and the supply cost is almost constant in human history. So gold can be bought as a form of compact property and sold when required.

6. Conclusion

You have now been informed to make some choice with your earning surplus. Be warned, it may PERISH with your wrong choice.

The next level of questioning is how can someone fool so many people in those Investment Manias

Is this still the same nation of USA?

Is this still the same nation of USA?

by tonytran2015 (Melbourne, Australia).

Click here for a full, up to date ORIGINAL ARTICLE and to help fighting the stealing of readers’ traffic.

(Blog No.105).

#Foreign Affairs, #war, #US, #Deep State, #ally, #Middle East, #Japan, #Korea, #Philippines, #Military-Industrial Complex,

Is this still the same nation of USA?

1. A changed nation after the two World Wars.

Ever since the first World War, USA nation has transformed itself into a war powered empire. Wars are then needed to collect oppressive reparations from the losers.[1,..3]

Wars are needed for consumption of weapons to enrich the influential owners of Defence Industry and to maintain their social status. These influential owners of defence industry and their allies can make or break most Presidential, senatorial and Congressional candidates (The Military, Industrial, Congressional Triangle or Complex). The campaign paid, successfully elected officials are then to repay their election campaign financial donors by instructing the Pentagon and the CIA to engender (create), engage and escalate in all possible wars [4,..13].

2. A corrupt political system against the founding constitution of the nation.

USA has now become corrupt and hijacked by an unelected Deep State. Even an elected president is under daily threat of Impeachment while people of the Deep State are always exonerated from every type of charge [14,..28]..

3. A war seeking nation.

USA is then engaging in creating new enemies (against US interests) out of potential friends . Some examples are:
Russian people had been waiting for US aids after the collapse and dissolution of the Soviet Union. Russian people expected temporary humanitarian aids as well as help to set up a genuine free market system for their country. Those aids never came. Instead, there were only American con men coming to rob Russia out of its national wealth. Current Russian President V. Putin became a Russian hero when he reorganized Russia and took back many robbed wealth. This was well documented by Western news outlets at that time.[29,…35].

4. An ambition to be a nuclear monopoly.

The ambition of the American Empire to monopolize nuclear weapons and to make a show case against any non-submission by small countries such as India, Pakistan, North Korea. The US wants to play North Korea for fools. It wants North Korea to surrender its hard-won Nuclear Power achievement.[36].
The threat of 1992 war against NK with US nuclear weapons ready.

The criticism against Pakistan, India on nukes while supporting nuclear weapons for Israel [37,..40].

5. An abuser of International Cooperation spirit.

USA has attempted to use UN selectively for its own aim. USA uses the UN label when it suits its purpose and denounce the UN when it is against US [41,..43].
USA has created Israel using the UN [43], then ignored and veto every UN resolution on Israel.

Calling UN a house of lies.

Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had promised to reject the results of the vote, calling the UN a “house of lies”.
Afterwards he said in a statement: “Israel thanks President Trump for his unequivocal position in favour of Jerusalem and thanks those countries that voted alongside Israel, alongside the truth.”

[44],

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu dubbed the United Nations a ‘house of lies’ on Thursday, ahead of a General Assembly vote on a resolution rejecting US recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital.

[45],

JERUSALEM (Reuters) – Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu described the United Nations as a “house of lies” ahead of a vote on Thursday on a draft resolution calling on the United States to withdraw its recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital.

[46].
US attacked Iraq without any UN authorisation.

US threatened to attack North Korea without any UN’s authorization.

6. USA harbours an ambition to occupy and redraw the maps and rewrite histories of the whole Middle East.

The ambition to occupy and dominate all Middle East and Muslim countries by some groups of lobbyists in the US. They want to extend the Balfour plan. They plan to use American war against North Korean to kick-start an American war against Iran for their own advantage.

First they played God by forming countries by drawing their fingers across the map, robbing lands from some local populations like Palestinian, while leaving many like Kurdish population without any country [47,..53].

They have no problem sacrificing their US servicemen [54,..55]

The ruthlessness of this group is well demonstrated by their orchestrated actions to sacrifice a long time small ally of USA which was South Vietnam. In doing so they destroyed US credibility for their (not American) benefits.

The loss of Vietnam war caused by news anchorman Cronkites, Jane Fonda [60].

7. USA has already lost its reputation as a global ally.

Consequently, USA has ceased being a reliable global ally to any ideology

But the United States did not keep its word. Is an American’s word reliable these days? (Nguyen Van Thieu)

The United States did not keep its promise to help us fight for freedom and it was in the same fight that the United States lost 50,000 of its young men. (Nguyen Van Thieu)

You ran away and left us to do the job that you could not do. (Nguyen Van Thieu)

“In December 1974, the Democratic majority in Congress passed the Foreign Assistance Act of 1974, which cut off all military funding to the South Vietnamese government and made unenforceable the peace terms negotiated by Nixon. Nixon… had resigned his office.Gerald R. Ford, Nixon’s vice-president stepped in to finish his term on August 9, 1974. The new president vetoed the Foreign Assistance Act, but his veto was overridden by Congress. … (Embassador) Martin pleaded with the U.S. government to send $700 million in emergency aid to South Vietnam in order to bolster the Saigon regime’s ability to fight and mobilize fresh military units, but it was to no avail.”

[61,62].
Around April 1st, 1975 (the final month before South Vietnam surrendered to North Vietnam), even the ship bringing US military aids to South Vietnam was ordered by a US Congress woman to turn around to bring the shipment to Israel instead!

8. Other nations have not and would not overlook these factors.

The Philippines is now at acute risk of being traded for some US interest (Nuclear war against NK) or non-interest (Nuclear attack on Iran and occupation of the Middle East). Philippine President Duterte may face a difficult choice when betting on an unreliable ally (who was thrown out of the Philippines after its abandonment of South Vietnam).

South Korea and Japan have to learn to be self-reliant militarily. They may need nuclear parity against their neighbours. Reliance on the US to be abandoned (like South Vietnam and Ukraine) is not good policy.

Despite the objection from USA, detente talk between North and South Korea and their cooperation in the 2018 Olympic are encouraging signs.

Truman found, to his dismay, that the CIA had ranged far afield.

For some time I have been disturbed by the way CIA has been diverted from its original assignment. It has become an operational and at times a policy-making arm of the Government. This has led to trouble and may have compounded our difficulties in several explosive areas.

I never had any thought that when I set up the CIA that it would be injected into peacetime cloak and dagger operations. Some of the complications and embarrassment I think we have experienced are in part attributable to the fact that this quiet intelligence arm of the President has been so removed from its intended role that it is being interpreted as a symbol of sinister and mysterious foreign intrigue—and a subject for cold war enemy propaganda.

The article appeared in the Washington Post’s morning edition, but not the evening edition.

[114g]. https://straightlinelogic.com/2018/11/30/the-deadliest-operation-by-robert-gore/

And President Kennedy, as the enormity of the Bay of Pigs disaster came home to him, said to one of the highest officials of his Administration that he “wanted to splinter the CIA in a thousand pieces and scatter it to the winds.”

So did Kennedy say it? Possibly. The only attribution we have is an anonymous source from the Kennedy administration by a New York Times reporter three years after Kennedy was assassinated. I’ve found no record that pre-dates 1966. It’s not exactly like he said it in a public speech or even to a reporter directly.

“Always there has been some terrible evil at home or some monstrous foreign power that was going to gobble us up if we did not blindly rally behind it.”

LOOMING 2ND CIVIL WAR

During an interview with the Chicago Tribune on February 15, 1931, Germany’s elected President-Chancellor was forthright:

“The USA has become a state as a result of liberal ideas and various other factors, through financial monopolies too. But they will never be a nation: they will always be the scene of internal disturbances, ideological, religious, ethnic and religious rivalries. The USA will be overtaken by events.”

An opinion poll published June 28, 2018, reveals that a second Civil War is looming in the United States. This finding is based on the gloomy predictions of almost a third of American voters.

#authentic, #Stewed Fried duck, #Noodle Soup, #Mì Vịt Tiềm, #MSG,

Authentic Herbal Noodle Soup of Stewed, Fried Duck (Mì Vịt Tiềm chánh gốc).

We are lucky to learn from Mr. Mach Van Cuong an AUTHENTIC recipe for making Stewed Fried Duck in Noodle Soup. Mr Cuong is a food connoisseur who wants to preserve and disseminate Oriental knowledge. Oriental recipes have usually been closely guarded as family secrets.

Mr Cuong had been working for his parents’ business in various types of activities (importing and exporting of electronic parts, jewelers tools, and herbal food supplies). He enjoys applying traditional herbal knowledge.

Figure: Mr Mach Van Cuong who teaches the Authentic Recipe presented here .

Herbal Noodle Soup of Stewed, Fried Duck (Mì Vịt Tiềm) originated from Cantonese or Hakka recipes. It is a delicious, tasty, nutritious, slightly odored dish and is well liked in Saigon. It is claimed to bring some medicinal benefits and is of higher price than other dishes of ordinary noodle soups.

(Mì=Noodle Soup, Vịt=Duck, Tiềm=Stewed, Slow cooked)

1. Herbal noodle soup of stewed, fried/roasted duck.

Figure: Herbal Noodle with Stewed, Fried/Roasted Duck (Mì Vịt Tiềm) in 300 ml bowl from a shop. Authentic recipes does NOT serve any green vegetable with the dish.

The dish may have been called Noodle Soup with Roasted Duck. This is a misnomer as the duck has NOT been roasted in the preparation of this dish.

Herbal Noodle Soup of Fried/Roasted Duck (Mì Vịt Tiềm) is usually served with 2 accompanying dishes of Fried Prawn Pancake and Crunchy Pickled Slices of Papaya.

CAUTIONS:

1. A nutritious, healthy dish may become a harmful dish if the traditional recipes are not observed.

2. No MSG: Cooks using unauthentic recipes may put mono-sodium glutamate in the dish. The traditional recipes has no such modern ingredient.

3. About 2hr after eating this dish, your body may have some odor of the dish! This is easily noticeable from the odor of your urine.

4. Your skin may have a light strange sensation caused by the oil and sweat glands excreting some compounds absorbed from the dish.

2. Authentic Recipes.

Figure: Herbal Noodle with Stewed, Fried/Roasted Duck (Mì Vịt Tiềm) from a shop in Melbourne, Australia. Authentic recipes does NOT serve any green vegetable with the dish..

1. Marinate a duck leg (quarter of a duck) in Mushroom soy sauce for 20min. This marination gives the duck leg a good brown color.

2. Fry the marinated leg in hot oil until the skin start bubbling. The duck leg will turn black.

3. Stew the so fried leg in a soup containing:

30g of Hoài Sơn (Huai Shan in Chinese), (Củ mài = Dioscorea hamiltonii), a white traditional and Chinese medicinal(?) root tuber [1,2,3,4],

10g of Codonopsis_pilosula (Đản Sâm in Vietnamese, dengshen in Chinese meaning “poor men’s ginshen”) [4b]

15g of Lycium barbarum fruits, Kỷ Tử in Vietnamese (fruits which look like chillies but are NOT hot, from the plant Cẩu Kỷ Tử),

20g of dried Longans,

20g of Chinese plums and Chinese prunes,

10g of dried Lotus seeds,

15g of Shiitake (a type of delicious mushroom), ,

4g of Five Spice mixture.

The ratio of the mixture may be varied to suit your taste.

4. Separately boil about 200ml of water. Dip 50g of egg noodle into this boiling water for 20 seconds. The noodle is now cooked and softened. Take the noodle out of boiling water and immediately wash it with cold water to stop noodle lengths from sticking together.

5. Serve the stewed fried leg with boiled egg noodle in the broth.

6. Avoid adding any green vegetable to the broth as green vegetable may reduce the benefits of the herbal mixture.

7. The duck soup is served with egg-noodle, shiitake and longan in the bowl.

8. Small amounts of usual common ingredients are to added. They include chopped spring onion and fried slices of spring onion.

9. The pickled crunchy sliced papaya in the accompanying dish (the small dish with yellow slices) is made crunchy by immersion in a table salt solution. The slices are washed and leached in fresh water for days before serving.

3. Ingredients.

No MSG.

No Borax.

Figure: Slices of Hoai Son (Huai Shan in Chinese) in package.

Dioscorea hamiltonii in this soup is a white traditional and Chinese medicinal herb claimed to be good (?) for treating diabetes (scientific proofs are required).

Figure: DangShen (Đản Sâm in Vietnamese)

Figure: A package of dried Cau Ky Tu.

Lycium barbarum fruits are claimed to improve general immunity, blood production, to help fighting against cancer (no scientific proof supplied !), to lower Cholesterol (proof?), lower blood pressure (proof?), protect liver (proof?).

Figure: Shiitake (Nấm Đông Cô in Vietnamese), from Wikipedia, https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shiitake, file: https://commons.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Shiitakegrowing.jpg, licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike,

Figures: Fresh longans, dried longans, and boiled dried longans.

Figure: A Five Spice mixture.

WARNINGS:

Cooks using non-authentic recipes may put in a lot of monosodium gluamate to fool customers. Traditional, authentic recipes have no such modern ingredient.

In the short-term, monosodium glutamate may cause extreme headache, throat congestion, prolong thirst and swelling of your ankles and feet. Do NOT eat any non-authentic dish prepared with such ingredient.

Do NOT eat any Papaya side dish if you suspect that it has been prepared using borax.

Borax is banned as a food ingredient. Borax is mainly used as a Welding Flux (for goldsmith welding and for industrial brazing using Acetylene-Oxygen Gas Torches), in Photo-chemistry (as a Stopper Solution), in Pest Control (the mixture of Borax and Icing Sugar is an Ant Poison). Its Vietnamese name is Hàn The (Hàn=for welding, The=sour taste).

3. Where to find it.

It is an upmarket dish (costing 70000VND =$3.50US in 2017) in Vietnam (in Saigon). In Australia, it cost $12AUD.

I don’t know how much it would cost in a Vietnamese restaurant outside Vietnam. It may cost you $10.00US (?).

When is Lunar New Year? (Khi nào là Tết Âm Lịch?)

To many Western and Vietnamese people, it is hard to tell when East Asian Lunar New Year (Tết Âm Lịch in Vietnamese) will come.

This blog gives an easy answer to that question.

1. The time for East Asian Lunar New Year.

The New Year begins with a New Moon. Each Lunar month span from one New Moon to the next one.

The month enclosing the December Solstice time (in December 21st) is defined to be the second last Lunar month of the year.

After that is one last month of the year and then comes the New Year Festival.

The rule gives people adequate time (more than one Lunar month) to prepare for the festival.

2. Example for 2018.

On the Solar New Year for 2018, the Moon was full. It was the 15th day of some Lunar month. Ten nights prior to that was the December Soltice (on December 21st). That night was the 5th night of that some Lunar month. That Lunar month is defined to be the second last (11th) month of the Lunar year. So the Solar New Year night was the 15th night of the 11th Lunar month.

Therefore the beginning of last Lunar month of the year is around Jan. 14th, while Lunar New Year is 29.5 days after that and is around Feb. 12th of 2018.

3. Tết Nguyên Đán and Tết Nguyên Tiêu.

The first New Moon in each Lunar year is called “Tết Nguyên Đán” in Vietnamese and the Full Moon following it is called “Tết Nguyên Tiêu”  (many Vienamese don’t know the words “Tết Nguyên Tiêu”), or more commonly “Lễ Hội Rằm Tháng Giêng”.

Ancient Chinese historical texts made many references to (yearly) First Full Moon Festivals but it is very hard to find any mention of (yearly) First New Moon Festivals.

So Chinese people have been celebrating the yearly Festivals of First Full Moon (with Moon lit nights). When and why the Festivals of First New Moon (with dark, stars lit nights) became more celebrated than the Festivals of First Full Moon is an interesting question.

It is seen in the following two figures that at Lunar New Year, the bright star Leo Regulus crosses the meridional plane near to midnight. At First Full Moon Festival, Leo Regulus crosses the meridional plane about 1 hour before midnight while the Full Moon crosses the meridional plane at midnight.

4. Neighbouring countries may have their Lunar New Years differing by one month.

a. Soltice time can be accurately determined by watching the direction of the setting (or rising) Sun. When the azimuth angle of the setting Sun is plotted for consecutive days near solstice time it shows an increase then decrease (or the other way around). The time for the turn-around is the accurately determined solstice time. Solstice time is a global event and is the same for all locations on Earth.

b. New Lunar month begins on the day preceeding the night with the first view of a thin crescent on the trailing side of the  Moon (an initial New Moon.). New Lunar Month is a local event. The beginnings of new Lunar months differ for different locations on different longitude of the Earth.

c. It is rare occasions but we can sometimes observe that one country A begins its New Moon just before solstice while its neighbour B on the next time zone begins its New Moon just after solstice.

Therefore for the next Lunar month, country A is still in Lunar month 11 while its neighbour B is on is already in Lunar month 12.

Consequently country B has its Lunar New Year one Lunar month ahead of country A.

d. The months in these two countries will get synchronized again when the astronomical event marking Lunar month 2 falls into the Lunar months of both countries.

Example: Vietnamese (time zone +7) Lunar New Year in 1984 was earlier than Chinese (time zone +8) New Year by one Lunar month.

5. Neighbouring countries may also have their Lunar New Years differing by one day.

New Lunar month begins on the day preceeding the night with the first view of a thin crescent on the trailing side of the  Moon (an initial New Moon.). New Lunar Month is a local event. The beginnings of new Lunar months differ for different locations on different longitude of the Earth.
It is rare occasions but we can sometimes observe that one country A see no Moon for the night while its neighbour B on the next time zone sees a New Moon just before Sunrise.
Therefore for the next whole Lunar month, country A is behind its neighbour B by one Lunar calendar day.

If this happens at the end of a Lunar year, the Lunar New Year day of country A will be behind the Lunar New Year day of country B by one day.

Example: Vietnamese (time zone +7) Lunar New Year in 2007 was earlier than Chinese (time zone +8) New Year by one day.
