The David Hunter Perspective - 2022-01-05

Rhett and David, back at it again!  Enjoy the show as retired US Diplomat to 5 different nations  David Hunter shares his knowledge, passion, interest, and experience. 1)  Hong Kong and Communist China:  On June 30, 1997 the British,--- who had controlled HK as a territory for 156 years----, transferred sovereignty over to the Peoples Republic of China. While it's true HK was sort of a democracy under the British colonial rule, and had liberal freedoms, it wasn't a truly independent country before having it's fate transferred to China, where it became a Special Administrative Region. So does Communist China have rights to control Hong Kong?2)  Evergrande Real Estate in China --- Will it Default?  Evergrande, one of Communist China's largest real estate developers, is on the edge of defaulting on billions of dollars of projects under construction.  There are some who claim the PRC Government will keep it from collapse, as it is 'too big to fail' and would bring about systemic trouble. Can China's Pres. Xi fix this? 3)  Ghislaine Maxwell is Found Guilty for Child  Sex Trafficking:  Jeffrey Epstine's alleged 'madam'--- who assisted him in Palm Beach, NYC, New Mexico, US Virgin Islands, even Paris and London in procuring and trafficking young  minor females for sex, ---was just found guilty on multiple counts.  The work of victims Virginia  Roberts Giuffre and Anne Farmer were instrumental in getting the conviction.  Will Britain's Royal Prince Andrew, who was photographed together w/ Virginia and Ms. Maxwell, be the next to fall? What about famous Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz? 4) Why is Former Austrian Chancellor Sebastian Kurz going to work for US billionaire Peter Thiel?:  Chancellor Kurz will serve as a 'global strategist' for Thiel's company Thiel Capital.  Thiel, who made billions as co-founder of PayPal, also owns Palantir Group,  a  big data analysis/cyber spying company w/ links to CIA, which uses big data scraping  to create 'profiles' of individuals that can be targeted for security,  influence or manipulation.   Thiel  in 2018 also created a new facial recognition company 'Clearview AI' which Time magazine named one of the 100 most influential companies of the year in 2021.   What do you think Kurz's involvement with Thiel really mean? Your JUNK MONKEYS are just a click away!Don't let your junk drive you bananas!Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.
