1…………> Maduro Dreaming: Venezuela Bankrupting
The long decline of the bolivar has finally hit a nerve, as S&P ratings agency said the South American nation had failed to make $200m in repayments on its foreign debt, and probably will not able to make another $420 million payment whose grace period has not yet expired. Venezuela’s state-run oil company PDVSA has also been declared in default by rating agencies Fitch and Moody’s as National debt is thought to be almost 140 billion dollars, mostly owned by President Maduro’s dearest communist friends like China and other smiling “shweethearts”.

2…………> Master Salesman In Action: Trump
Unlike our dearly departed, beloved 1st Muslim President Grand Ayatollah Barack Obama, who was an world renown expert in the dubious art of spending people’s money and then borrowing double of that, listening to his citizens phone calls and reading their email, putting his nose in other people’s business around the globe and lecturing them on “human rights” when the drug dealers behind his house in Chicago were in an open drug war, President Trump is definitely a bright and pleasant surprise.
A master in collecting rents and bad debts, President Trump wrapped up a 12-day tour of Asia which he said created $300bn in sales to companies in the region and several major energy deals.
“We’ve made some very big steps with respect to trade, far bigger than anything you know, in addition to about $300bn in sales to various companies, including China – that was $250bn and going up very substantially from that,” he disclosed in Manila.

3…………> Petaflops Malaise: US Supercomputers
China’s “Sunway TaihuLight” is world’s No. 1 fastest supercomputer for the fourth time, with a performance of 93.01 petaflops.
China’s Tianhe-2, or Milky Way-2, is still the No. 2 system at 33.86 petaflops. Intel chip-based Tianhe-2 had topped the list for three years until it was displaced in November 2015 by TaihuLight, which was built by entirely using processors designed and made in China.
The No. 3 is Switzerland’s Piz Daint, which is also the most powerful supercomputer in Europe.
A new system in Japan, called Gyoukou, is the No. 4, pushing Titan, the top U.S system, to the No. 5 slot.
“China now clearly shows a substantially larger number of installations than the United States.”

4…………> Uncle Adolf’s Mufti Friends: Get The Jews
Historian David Motadel said that hundreds of thousands of Muslims fought for the Nazis in WW2 as Adolf Hitler’s Berlin began to see Islam as politically significant in its war against their common enemies — the British Empire, the Soviet Union, America and Jews. On the eastern Front, the Nazi occupiers ordered the rebuilding of mosques, prayer halls, and madrasas — previously destroyed by Moscow — and the re-establishment of religious rituals and celebrations in order to undermine Soviet rule.
5…………> Viva Mr. Xi: China’s Reagan
President Xi has reached his political solstice after the 19th CCPC in October, consolidating his control over China’s ruling elite and grabbing the limelight away from President Donald Trump who tried to showcase himself as the supreme “New Kid On The Block”, and instead eclipsing China as the new ‘world leader.’
