American Tech Giants Extensions of the Neocon Agenda

Over the past 60 years, there is no facet of the US government or society that the Neocon-Neolib machine has not penetrated and that of course includes the biggest agents of technology, the IT giants. Their massive potential for influence have been put to work in the failed dream of  "controlled" chaos.
One must be overseas, in a target nation for this "controlled" chaos to truly appreciate how pervasive these extensions of the State Department are.

Several examples: the Ukrainian nazi pusche of 2013 sponsored by America and the EU that resulted in an attempted genocide of the Russian 45% of the population, a genocide that continues with full American and EU sponsorship to this day. Where the nazis lost on the battlefield, though they continue shelling civilians on a daily basis, they have made up by Hitlerite tactics of forced religious and linguistical conversions and police state terror tactics.

Of course one would never know this, as the Western media only praises its this brown plague and quiets over those uncomfortable issues such as mass arrests by the SBU of bloggers or just average citizens voicing critiques of the government. And since its Russians being murdered the West could not care less.

Those who try to push the truth through on Western platforms are banned or blocked by the army of Ukrainian moderators FaceBook has hired.

Now its Belarus, with the hypocritical West savagely suppressing its own protesting population and waxing in grief about the very light police tactics of Lukashenko. Their latest martyr hero who died in the protests, died when his own bomb blew up prematurely. This dead terrorist brought out no less then every EU ambassador, paying him tribute. This insanity has gone so far that even  Gas Gas Gas Them Macron, who for 2 years has set records in the use of CS gas on one's own populace, utilizing absolute third world tyranny against his own French population (not the illegal immigrant arabs or africans he uses to replace his French population) talks about the people's right to demonstrate in Belarus, you know the bottom of morality pit has been reached.

Youtube, one of those platforms that has decided to become an insidious organ of planned chaos, constantly places videos in support of the demonstrations on every Russian's and Belarus' suggestions list. You can not block them. Many are out and out falsehoods, but that does not bother Youtube that instantly blocks conservative sites and channels.

When demonstrations started in Russia in 2014, Facebook for its part tried to mobilize the public using any pretext to get people into the streets: fight for abortions, fight against abortion, against Putin, for the Church and so on. These commercials were placed in most Russians' news streams. All adverted the same date, time and location in hopes of getting as many people out and creating as much havoc. 

During the last parliamentary Russian elections, in the 24 hours of silence before the elections, when all political ads are banned, Facebook continued to flood the timelines with ads for the most radical members of the opposition.

Facebook, agent provocateur.

The Russian government, along with any other government so affected must fight this direct and illegal threat to their sovereignty by a set of elites unanswerable to anyone, to include the laws of their home country of America.

The way to fight these American neocon-neolib hegemons, of course is not banning them. This, firstly, turns them into victims and  hands them the moral high ground, secondly that approach with today's technology is pointless. They must be fought on their home turfs in the best of American traditions^ sued by the victims of their propaganda in single and class action lawsuits. The affected governments, with their deep pockets can easily hire legions of American lawyers to take these tech giants to court, endless court with the aim not necessarily to win but to punish with loss of capital and stock price until the illegal behaviors become to expensive to continue. There are millions of victims of the extremists that these tech giants support directly. In Ukraine, over 8 million people have suffered alone and throughout the world, those numbers are many times larger. No matter the size of the pockets of any one tech giant, they are no contest for the pockets of any medium sized state.

 The same strategy should be utilized by the various conservative groups in America, who have been harmed greatly by the immoral actions of these elitist organizations.

A Wind of Change

 Much can depend in a nation's life on the personality and beliefs of its leader. Even more, often enough, on those of the men surrounding him. To this, Russia is no exception.

President Putin has always stood by the re-industrialization of the economy and the advancement of the real economy vs the financial economy. However, this always met with limited success and seemed to only make advancements more in a reactionary manner to key anti-Russian world events. Import substitution, raised due to western economic war on Russia, is a prime example of this. While successful, its success has been much more limited then by any account it should have been. It is as if the ship of state was constantly being met with a ponderous head wind, breaking its progress. Agriculture and military have been the exceptions.

Indeed, that head wind was the number two man in Russia. An avowed Atlantist and part of the globalist financial elite, Dmitry Medvedev, as prime minister, was never exactly pro Russian development or mercantilism (there it is that evil word Mercantilism, so hated by the neoliberal free trade crowd). It can be understood of course as 1. Financial economics by its nature is an extraction economy, its quick cash through liquidation of industry and sell off of resources. When backed up by people who see themselves as citizens of the globe or global elites and hold no particular driving and all consuming love for their homeland, their Rodina, this is a formula for disaster.

Since the removal of Medvedev from power and with him the Atlantist neoliberal block and their replacement with Prime Minister Mishustin, the winds of change have arrived.

This was first seen by the Russian advantageous positioning to support the economy during and after the Covid19 lock-downs. I detail these HERE. In tendum, the Russian government gave assistance to the Russian medical supply and biotechnology industry to allow Russia to become an over night medical equipment heavy weight, bringing forth top of the line technologies (detailed HERE) and to be the first to start mass production of the first registered Covid19 vaccine (detailed HERE). Already nations have lined up to purchase and franchise the production of equipment and vaccine. Russia has also shown an ability all over her vast distances to greenfield to completion almost two dozen hi-tech medical hospitals, projects completed in under 100 days each and not temporary trailers like the Chinese "wanders" but permanent building with all the hi-tech equipment (also Russian made) that would be expected from world class facilities.

"The president gave marching orders for the government to work out a package of programs for the growth of the Russian IT industry, to create maximum comfortable conditions for specialists of this industry. Now we are reviewing the changes that will be required in the legal codes to create tax havens for the IT sphere."

Prime Minister Michael Mishustin

One such maneuver is the lowering of pension taxes required from the IT industry from 15% down to 7.6%, almost a 50% cut. Taxes on profits will drop from Russia's already low 20% to 3% for companies who earn 90% of their profits from production and sale of software solutions.

Additionally, manufacturers of electronic equipment and AI systems will also be covered under these new taxes.

No major economy in the world has such beneficial tax codes for the IT industry. Coupled with the fact that Russia produces more engineers than any other nation, an excellent communications infrastructure that is now being upgraded to 5G, its comparatively lower salaries compared to other nations and very cheap utilities and land costs and there is no logical reason not to invest, except for fear bred by ignorance and foreign propaganda. Taking into account the weak position of the ruble vs foreign major currencies, for those selling abroad and ignoring this , it is just down criminal incompetence.

The Russian government has also undertaken a gigantic effort in reviewing, updating and deleting antiquated government standards throughout all industries. This has helped catapult Russia into one of the world leaders of the Ease of Doing Business index in 6 short years. What, the Western MSM forgot to mention that?

Every Catastrophe Offers Opportunity

In true form, when ever one door closes another door opens.

With Covid-19 ravaging supply chains all over the world, medical supply chains have found themselves no exception. From the early days of the pandemic in China to the now global crisis, it quickly became evident that outsourcing the majority of your medical materials and equipment manufacturing, including ingredients for medication, to one country, is hardly a good idea.

Long before Covid-19 became a household name or was even thought up, various voices in Russia were urging the government to more fully invest in local manufacturing of at least medicines if not the equipment for hospitals. The government was slow to act, however the financial and economic war that the West declared on Russia in 2014 brought more attention and political will to this issue.

As President Putin made it his aim for the drastic improvement of the Russian medical system, especially outside of the top 5 major cities, it quickly became obvious that importing all the needed medical equipment would prove to be a very expensive endevour and one that was wrought with tensions as the US Congress played its favorite game of Tariff Russia. Thus, investments were already being realized in the medical fields for manufacturing of state of the art medical equipment for various purposes in Russia: from x-ray to artificial/assisted breathing machines.

Along comes Covid-19 and world wide everything unravels. Luckily for Russia, or a God send, you decide, the plague hit Russia almost last and has only in the past 2 weeks started to rev up. This gave Russia an additional two months to ramp up manufacturing in many sectors and to start to move fringe developments and technologies into full on exploitation. There is nothing like a war time footing to move technology along at rates otherwise not imagined. Survival is the real mother of innovation.

And so, Russia now stands on the precipice of coming out of this as a power of modern medical manufacturing. Below we will go over only a few of the new or expanding productions. As more information appears I will of course update this post.

This can be equally seen in the 16 new infectious disease hospitals being built across the country. These, unlike the Chinese container temporary Wuhan facility, are permanent state of the art facilities with 41 days start to turn key completion build cycles. Each of the hospitals are set up for 500-1000 beds and all the equipment has been procured from Russian companies. From top of the line adjustable beds, to surgical equipment, monitoring systems and stations, ambulances and assisted breathing machines. All are being delivered now and this is only possible because they are localized production, not imports from China or Europe.

So, we will start with the big heavy weight of the Covid-19 season: artificial/assisted breathing machines.

At present, Russia has some 44.000 units of various age and capacity in service, Japan 23.000. As a further comparison, Krasondar, the main southern commercial center with a population of about one million people has 950 such units in service. Milano, the main Italian industrial center with a population of 1.3 million coupled with horrid air quality, had 48 units.

As of March, Russia was producing some 300 state of the art units per month. With massive government support, the production is being increased to 500 units this merry month of April, with the aim of 2500 units monthly by the close of May and peaking at 3.000 units. Of course this level of sustained production is well past the capacity needs for Russia itself, but it will go to fill export orders. As of now, 30 nations have either placed or in the process of placing orders for machines.

The units are being produced by Shabe Holdings, a division of Rostec, in their Uralskii Optical-Mechanical manufacturing plant.

Other key productions of masks and garments are also taking off. Small and medium sized businesses are retooling. Production of the high grade masks has reached 2.1 million units per week with another 300.000 coming online this week. Of course this does not fill the demand but considering previously Russia was importing all of this volume, this has gone a long way in manufacturing from basically nothing.

Two technopark universities in Ekaterinburg and Tymin have also begun printing plastic masks (they still require cloth for the breathing filters) on 3D printers, in serial production. While still at small batches of 500 units per 2 days of printing, the proof of concept in a production environment has been provided, opening the doors to mass production that does not require outsourcing and international logistics or major manufacturing facilities. Equally they are printing replaceable parts to assisted breathing equipment, such as plastic valves that must be changed once every 24 hours.

Medical garment manufacturing, robes for doctors, at 6.000 units daily. At present this is well below daily consumption and stocks are filling the gap. However, manufacturing is being ramped up to 25.000 units per day, as even heavy industry giants like Komaz and Tatneft are retooling for a new manufacturing branch job.

The big bottle neck is cloth for the medical gowns which is still mostly imported from China. In steps Chaikovskii Textile which has come up with a new medical material Panatseya PP180 which is a light weight, flexible material that is inhospitable to bacterial, fungal and viral microorganisms. The textile also is not absorbent, so liquids do not penetrate and cause stains. Full sustained production is in its early stages set to ramp up.

March goggle manufacturing was at 12.000 units per day with the aim of reaching 22.000 units per day by end of April.

Additionally, by end of March, respirators production had reached 20.000 units per day.

Of the seventeen key medications used in treatment of Covid-19, fourteen are manufactured in Russia, the remaining 3 are having to be imported. Unfortunately, this is a much slower ramp up issue, but one that has once again been high lightened as a weak link.

Russian pharma companies are also working on 7 separate vaccines, with live human trials on 60 volunteers (these people are already chosen and half are the scientists themselves) set to start by end of May/early June. Due to the long incubation periods of this virus, testing will take at least 1 month. Generiym, one of those companies, has patented and pushed into full scale production an express test for Covid-19 that delivers results in 30 minutes with a 94% accuracy rate. Yes, I know, the western media has not squeaked a word about this, which should not be in the least surprising.

Other high tech equipment is being manufactured by such companies as Litharinskii Optical Glass Plant, working with Germanium lenses to manufacture top of the line thermal imaging equipment that allows a doctor to scan a crowd up to 30m out and identify individuals in the crowd whose body temperatures are out of norms set.

Evromedservise is now manufacturing a full line of medical furniture with built in ultraviolet radiation lamps for quick and full sterilization of medical equipment and supplies.

Rosatom Helskia has produced large scale radiation sterilization equipment that will sterilize up to 58 million masks per month. Their work contract goes into effect this month.

To keep this engine of production and innovation chugging, the Russian central bank has relaxed all lending requirements to any company starting or currently manufacturing medicines, medical supplies and medical equipment.

Now we will see in what position Russia will be on the medical equipment markets once all of this settles out. Next time you are at your doctor's, the equipment might just read "Made in Russia".
