Enigma Solution

We often hear the terms 'developed countries', 'developing countries' and 'underdeveloped countries'. It has nothing to do with progress or backwardness. It simply means industrially developed or under developed. Why is this significant? Futurist Alvin Toffler in his seminal book  ' The Third Wave '  proposes how humankind developed and evolved in waves from early nomadic people, till today.  Ever wondered why some societies were rich and powerful and now not so?  In the earliest period nomadic leaders and tribes were those who had more livestock and members, to forage, hunt and fight. In the first wave humans moved from being hunter/forager to farming. During this wave the wealthiest and most powerful were those societies that owned and controlled the maximum amount of fertile land. Today societies that are predominantly first wave are amongst the poorest countries because they are seen as the industrially undeveloped economies. ...

R to L: We brothers. Varinder, Gurvinder, Parvinder and late Paramjeet with visitors from Bendix Corp. (1984) It is a fallacy, to believe that merely sending our children to school and college, will prepare them for life.  There is no perfect way to prepare the young, but parents and family can play a powerful role, in successfully preparing the young for life.   An approach that facilitates both success and  happiness is to enrich the lives of the young.  To not stifle them in our bosom, but  expose  them to life as early as is safe and possible.  This enables the young to learn at the more impactful formative phase of life.  It usually instils in them a sense of independence born out of learning to take responsibility for their thoughts, actions and results. The young should be acclimatised to the real world at an early age and this is the responsibility of the elders. If we fail to do this,  ' The young ...

Generally speaking, until they are about 10 years of age, children are sure their parents are superheroes, clever, and the most loving people in the whole world. They are the best.  When youngsters join college, at about age 16 they think, parents to be the biggest idiots in the world. Old fashioned, in thoughts and everything else. When they leave college at about 20, they do not think, they know their parents are outdated if not actually stupid. If they join the family business at about age  22 they are certain that such people cannot be their true parents. When they have worked for about 5 years, they suddenly realise how smart and wise their parents are.  ______________ It is a fascinating and exciting time, when the young join the family business. It is also frustrating and can even be hazardous for everyone concerned, if not handled properly. There is no perfect way, but there are some good principles. here is one way I recommend those who seek m...

The main role of the Central Intelligence Agency with its US$ 38 billion annual budget at that time was to keep an eye on the USSR.  Along with all the innumerable 'experts' in ' Think Tanks ', media, US State Department , The White House , The Pentagon they were all caught by surprise, when on 26 Dec 1991, the empire called Soviet Union dissolved into 15 Republics. This at a time when experts saw USSR as extremely powerful, none of them even had an inkling as to the likely collapse of the USSR .  I mention the Soviet Union collapse, so readers can get a perspective on the reliability of so called ' experts ' on China. Nothing about China is as it seems. The opacity of the Communist Party of China 's rule of China and its adroitness in concealing information to mislead the world and its own people coupled is legendary. With the narrative brought to us by 'experts' confined to their narrow disciplines and specialities makes understan...

Few people realise that the successful rebuilding of countries like Germany, Japan, after World War II, and the subsequent spectacular growth of ASEAN countries and now China  have all come about mainly due to American support and patronage. All these economies have achieved their growth and prosperity by exporting primarily to the American market made available to them by America, on favourable terms. In addition they have had access to the best technology, human resources etc. enabling them to develop on their own. Most importantly they were all financed primarily by American money and global financial capital. Thanks to America, China, over past 3 decades has received over US$ 55 trillion of funds. These include  US$ 40 trillion of mainly external debt. Capital invested in China via American and global capital markets is US$ 14 Trillion  Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in excess of US$ 1 trillion.  China is a country on steroids , mas...

Part 3 -  CCPVirus,  China's weaponising of Coronavirus Success occurs when preparation meets opportunity. Even a calamity can be exploited. So when CCP leadership discovered that they had a crisis that could harm China very severely, it appears to chose to weaponise COVID-19 Coronavirus and infect the world with it and even profit from it.  To operationalise this strategy, China needed to hide the truth from the world and lull it into complacency.  China adopted a three pronged strategy  1. Conceal and destroy all evidence, do not permit anyone to inspect or question anything about COVID-19.  2. Unleash a public relations blitzkrieg to shift blame to anyone and everyone but the CPC and Chinese labs and mislead the world.  3. To conceal the truth and mislead the world, China hid behind what is clearly a compromised  WHO  (World Health Organisation) leadership. China's CCP tried to cover their tracks. All whistle...

We always think of a race, nation, religion, tribe or society all populated by people who think and act uniformly. We call this stereotyping.  This occurs because, we have become intellectually and emotionally lazy. We experience a couple of wave and we quickly conclude that, we know the ocean.  America is the most powerful nation on earth today. However the average American like the average citizen in any other democracy has little influence on what, their business, political, economic, social leaders and bureaucrats do or how they act. All of us we human animals have more or less the same desires. To survive, find security, thrive, reproduce, and ensure survival of our offspring, etc. The path we choose to attain these material goals differ before of culture, language, history, geography, resources etc. Just as a complete herd of buffalos may be led by one dominant male. Human societies are led by a group of individuals and families. Once they attai...
