Made in Chicom

When they can manipulate their currency to obtain the best exchange rate - yeah - all bets are off...

The IMF limits the swing but remember their socialist ties and methods of using capital gains from the exporting they do - float the free market but there are other methods of lessening the impact of rising costs against their commerce - internally.

One of the benefits we had for a long time was the subudising of farmers to allow for crop yields and weather related losses ...

There is also the issue of the value of the product produced inside the country - it is far cheaper that to allow other countries to try and sell products because the local markets are overloaded with abundant cheap product - so the outsiders have to sell at a loss to obtain any sales.

Tongue in cheek - I have Craftsman tools as old as I am and will outlive me - I do not like items built in China. I'm one of the few who will buy American if I can all have a chance. This means literally ZERO Walmart for this guy.

And Walmart is temping!

I'd like to start a small company and build things in America, I believe it is possible with a good team.

Man this is irritating!

Partly the reason why I mentioned "Hand the Gun Back To The Murderer" reference...

Where to find the article....

A secondary Article about it here...it's headlines so you may have to scroll but Apple and Amazon deny this report

How someone can do it...

Use the plans for a "server backplane" card - like below - Circled area is the location where they found the chip above embedded in the layering on the boards traces (fiberglass layers with etch traces)

Then with it known location now buried in the SMD mess - you can't see it but the chip relayed data from the servers I/O lines backplane - like it "phoned home" establishing a datalink as to whatever they saw fit to spy on...

This process can also be encrypted using BT enabled devices you already know that...

But once assembled - it can't be seen amidst all the necessary support hardware for the backplane.

This is similar to installation of a known degradation of performance - you just take the hit due to the need to maintain a stable platform.

Kinda like siphoning off a fuel from those thinking they're buying Gallons - but really it's pumping liters - only it look like each liter is a gallon per the display of diagnostics on the pump. It's what it thinks, not what is actually being delivered...

The only way you'd know it was wrong measure was to use a container using known graticulation by gallons.

We have been at war. The Chicoms been trying to hack anything with a static ip address.

I am in IT Security and I know all about this stuff..its NOT China we need to worry about.
So you know what I'm talking about. Every 10ms a new attempt at more then a few of my sites. Nothing can be done about it but change the port and ip every so often.
So if China ain't a threat...what is???
 
Well, let's look at the chronology of this...2012-2015

Obama was the Lame duck...
Hillary was considered the shoe-in...
Trump was nothing more than a late-night talk show sparring partner on Fox News...

With the above in mind, moving forward thru the different scenarios...
Obama was more for Free Trade...
Hillary was more for her own family needs - READ: Clinton Foundation
Trump was strictly business - and all the behind the scenes perks from it..

All three were "untouchable" in one fashion or another - at least any types of charges couldn't stick to them at their current (chronological) position...

Now looking back from this, our current time in 2018 - I see a far different landscape, in wondering, that would we have survived like we have and still are?

We are changing everyday by the worlds own forces against those that don't share their views...

We caught someone, or something - trying to circumvent our own trust and security in technology by OUTSOURCING the build process - we handed a Murderer a Gun...what is now pointed back at us?

Fortunately knowing now what we did not know back then - we can only hope the bullets are gone from the chamber - but the gun and the pointing of it - still exists. They posses technology to circumvent any or our stealth means in using those platforms - even now our radios with the PROGRAMMABLE Serial PLL chip is using this similar technology and we are also using similar methods to circumvent them. (Bearcat 980)

If we had changed our government during those elections, in 2016, from the President on down - into the only other choices at that time - even with Russian meddling - would we still be here?

Think about this and how some companies have "sold off" their equipment to the lowest price manufacturing and we have had no protection from that loss.

And some of you folks laugh about it saying Oh, you poor people...

Well, the same can be said about Persia, Israel and Alamo.

Suffering a great loss - but came back with a vengeance and won more than that which had been in their original conquest.

Which side are you folks on?

China is a problem but most of the stuff nowadays is coming from the middle east and soviet union. The biggest threat is here in this country.
