4/4/25: China Calls Trump's Bluff, Stocks Plummet, Lawyer Responds To JD Vance

Hello fellow Point Breakers,

You NEED to READ “Talons of the Eagle.” This will enlighten you to all of our precious, current and future “democracy building” across Latin America.

The theme is: corporate dictatorships. You will notice this pattern over and over again.

America sees a leader it doesn’t like?

Coups, death and war.

A company wants to invest in a country but isn’t allowed?

Coups, death and war.

A country has valuable resources we want?

Coups, death and war.

This happens over and over and over again. It’s the same playbook we’ve done in the Middle East for half a century, and it’s the guiding International Relations policy we’ve been doing for nearly 250 years.

Surplus paying states should send out checks or new cards to SNAP recipients in net receiving states with signed letters from the governors like Trump signed covid checks so they know where the money came from.
