PRC has just changed land laws. The 30-year state land leases can now be sold. Big corporate consolidation of farms expected. This is expected to cause millions to leave the countryside and head for the coast. Hard to say what this means, but sounds like trouble. Farms may get more productive as Gangsta/Capital buys them up. Funny how the 'small farmer' is replaced by the big techno farm, more productive dontya know. but the commune never was.
"The Economist" says that PRC needs 7% growth to prevent 'social unrest'
Economic Crash means 2.7 Million workers in China will be fired.

YLD = Years Lost to Disability
Nature special on mental disorder/madness ... they of course seek the synaptic molecular source of bliss, not a social human correction.
Astounding how ill we have made ourselves. The tryanny of proffered liberty found illusory?
As a prototypical boomer, now suffering depression and alcoholism, I can say I seek the dignity of work - pace B.F.Skinner, we are not beyond freedom and dignity.
Our masters lack the skill to channel us without our sensing the bars.
Having just visited the unemployment office, and received the expert professional civil servant put-down/brush-off ... I realised the profession is exactly similar to the western white whore. The fixed smile, the pretense of care, the skilled ability to get me out the door unsatisfied but with no legal basis of complaint. The women at the dole office know they cannot say anything that could be quoted against them, but they enjoy evincing contempt and disdain. Actually not white, but she had the class. Just like a white whore she despised me, but her employ depends on pretending to service me.
In the west (OK Sydney) I have spent various pleasant 40 minutes with chubby girls from PRC, Thailand, Korea (always advertised as Japanese) but white whores are so loathsome (of themselves primarily?) that I wouldn't go there. Once in the Cross (King's) I went upstairs with a couple of white Westies, one proceeded to pull out a taser and demanded money before action, I paid and left before any action. Talk about fear and loathing.
Hizballah
A Hizballah mission, which arrived in Moscow Tuesday, Oct. 28, was taken around Russian state of the art anti-tank missile factories, including KBP in the town of Tula southwest of Moscow, DEBKAfile’s exclusive military sources report. The Lebanese visitors were treated to a live fire demonstration of various types of missile. They then ordered 3,000 missiles of different types and returned home Saturday, Nov. 1.
Tehran is footing the bill.
Our sources disclose that the hardware inspected by the Hizballah officers included 9M133 (Nato-coded Spriggan AT-14) which can be launched by helicopter and Kliver, which is an upgraded Kornet-E mounted on vehicles. The Lebanese Shiite terrorist shoppers also placed a large order for RPG-2 rocket-propelled grenades made by Bazalt. In the 2006 "Lebanon war, the older RPG-29 used by Hizballah was responsible for most of the hits suffered by Israeli tanks.
.....
Several weeks ago, DEBKAfile reported that Syria had supplied the Shiite group with anti-air missiles supported by radar stations. They are already deployed on two Lebanese peaks, Mt. Sannine and Jebel Barukh, which Hizballah controls.

Obama's half-sister recalled that the family attended the mosque "for big communal events." Watson learned from childhood friends that "Obama sometimes went to Friday prayers at the local mosque." Barker found that "Obama occasionally followed his stepfather to the mosque for Friday prayers." One Indonesia friend, Zulfin Adi, states that Obama "was Muslim. He went to the mosque.
Its really hard to see what we are being sold here ...
