OCTOBER 26, 2025: THE DAY AMERICA BECAME AN EMPIRE While you watched TikTok, the United States just executed the greatest economic coup in human history. China controls 80% of rare earth processing—the neurons of every weapon system, smartphone, and AI server on planet Earth. One element: neodymium. Without it, F-35s don’t fly. Teslas don’t move. Data centers go dark. Trump threatened to destroy $300 billion in Chinese exports with 100% tariffs. Beijing responded by threatening to choke the global technology supply chain. Then something impossible happened. THE 72-HOUR CHECKMATE: October 24: Malaysia signs mineral pact. October 25: Thailand signs processing deal. October 26: Framework announced. China blinks. Hidden in the fine print: $13 billion Australian rare earth processing. Cambodia extraction rights. Japan’s 2010 playbook—which cut Chinese dependency 30%—now deployed across $350 billion in American AI infrastructure. THE NUMBER THAT ENDS GLOBALIZATION: US-China trade: $758B (2018) → $578B (2024) That $180 billion didn’t vanish. It relocated to nations that bend the knee. ASEAN trade up 20%. Chinese rare earth market share dropping for first time in 30 years. American supply chains rerouting in real-time while Beijing realizes the trap. HERE’S WHAT THEY’RE NOT TELLING YOU: This isn’t trade negotiation. It’s tribute collection. Trump just converted the world’s largest consumer market from a trade partner into a weapon. Every nation now faces a choice: access to American markets, or access to Chinese supply chains. Not both. Ever again. The $20 billion soybean freeze—first since 2018—isn’t retaliation. It’s a demonstration. China can inflict pain. America can inflict extinction. THE PATTERN THAT BROKE REALITY: Seventeen times since 2018, identical playbook: Announce apocalyptic tariffs. Markets crater. China retaliates. Then—exemptions appear for allies. Pressure multiplies on Beijing. 63% of Chinese goods face maximum tariffs. Allied nations: 4%. Every “chaotic” threat was a calculated bid. Every “impulsive” tweet moved supply chains. Every “Trade War” headline masked the systematic dismantling of Chinese technological sovereignty. WHAT HAPPENS NEXT: November 1: Xi meets Trump at APEC. The deal is already done. Rare earth access for tariff relief. American boots on Asian rare earth facilities. China gets to save face. America gets the future. Taiwan, AI dominance, technological independence, and the end of competitive multipolarity—all bundled into a “trade framework” the media will call a truce. THE TRUTH: Globalization didn’t collapse. It was conquered.

#DavesCarIDService Here are my parents, grandparents, brother and dog Brownie in Canada around 1949. Car looks too small to be American.

This year, more Christians have been killed in Nigeria than Palestinian civilians in Gaza.

900 Israeli soldiers have died since Oct 7th, when you murdered 1200 Israelis in cold blood. That music you hear is the world's small

Simple as 123: 1. Hamas surrenders 2. Releases the hostages 3. War is over

I coined a new term for my speech at @CPAC. It's the "Zombie Media." See, Trump, Elon, & DOGE taught us that this industry is not really alive. They don't have viewers or subscribers. They're only still twitching because the corrupt government is funneling them money to push a narrative, to keep what THEY call democracy (what they really mean is bureaucracy) shambling forward.

Every weather event is unprecedented if you that think history began on the day you were born.

Shame on you for not fighting for your members who chose not to get vaccinated. We need a right-to-work law in Canada, making membership in unions optional. Half the states in the US have right-to-work. You know, the ones where all the jobs are.

The awful P word - privatization - is the only answer, but the idiotic Canada Health Act forbids it, and no politician is brave enough to suggest it. So the pandering will continue.

The government could solve the housing crisis with the stroke of a pen. Make the first $50,000 in rental income tax free.

Gotcha: JUST NOW. A Langford Bylaw member places a Stop Langford Council 28% Tax Increase Sign UNDER ARREST for endangering the public with different ideas near Millstream Village. Take a good look, Langford. Your tax dollars at work. #yyj #oneincustody
