With BRI now at play, three implications and opportunities arise that transcend bilateral economic cooperation: infrastructural and trade interconnectivity, a closely-related “information Silk Road”, and Israel’s potential as mediator between the world’s two leading powers.
The nexus of infrastructure, transport and communications transmission routes paves the way for an unprecedented degree of interconnectivity embracing a community already exceeding 60 nations. China’s infrastructural footprint in Israel began with the Carmel Tunnels near Haifa in 2007, six years before BRI’s formal announcement. Yet, it is the projected “Med-Red” railway linking Eilat with Ashdod, reportedly to be constructed by China, that could transform Israel into a land bridge along the Maritime Silk Road.

Fixing Intel II
Intelligence should produce decision-support – generally unclassified – for all.
Robert David Steele
For just under thirty years I have been striving to re-direct the craft of intelligence away from spies and secrecy promoting war and waste, toward open sources and decision-support – generally unclassified – useful not only to the President, but to all who need decision-support.
Until Donald Trump and Mike Flynn came along, and John Brennan over-played his hand with lies of a very grand scale, I have been successfully marginalized. It remains to be seen if Donald Trump can in fact defeat the Deep State, but I for one pray that he is successful.
Mongoose: Is “The Family” Penetrating Donald Trump? Is a Religious-Criminal Cabal Securing Key Spots?
Corruption, Government
No direct knowledge — circulating among the non-evangelical alt-right.
Certain Trump picks point to a religious-criminal cabal preparing for a Pence presidency. What do Vice President Mike Pence, Attorney General Jeff Sessions, and certainly not least, Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats, have in common? Membership in ‘The Fellowship’, a quasi-religious organization-unregistered lobby with fingerprints all over past USA international crimes sprees. These three significant personalities all are under the ‘spiritual’ tutelage of Doug Coe, leader of ‘The Family’ where if you are ‘chosen’ there is a different standard, an unaccountable standard, where everything up to and inclusive of child rape is excused.

Martin Armstrong: Trump Being Corralled by Establishment
Trump’s pick for White House chief of staff Reince Priebus, chairman of the Republican National Committee, does call into question if the swamp will be drained. Priebus has brought in Johnny DeStefano who will work as the director of presidential personnel.

Worth a Look: Parag Khanna on Technocracy & Democracy in America (Not Good Enough)
5 Star, America (Founders, Current Situation), Democracy, Information Society, Information Technology, Worth A Look
American democracy just isn’t good enough anymore. A costly election has done more to divide American society than unite it, while trust in government–and democracy itself–is plummeting. But there are better systems out there, and America would be wise to learn from them.
In this provocative manifesto, globalization scholar Parag Khanna tours cutting-edge nations from Switzerland to Singapore to reveal the inner workings that allow them that lead the way in managing the volatility of a fast-changing world while delivering superior welfare and prosperity for their citizens.
The ideal form of government for the complex 21st century is what Khanna calls a “direct technocracy,” one led by experts but perpetually consulting the people through a combination of democracy and data.
Donald Trump – The Revolution
#Events
Although he makes it difficult by having a shallow staff that is not responsive to blacks, Latinos, single moms, old folk with medical debt and young folk with student debt, on balance he is the greatest event, movement, and win in modern American history.
He is also surrounded by traitors. The Republican Party is doing everything it can to block him in and control who he hires and who he hears. This fight is not over by any means. Organized opposition to Donald Trump includes multiple billionaires and plans to impeach him, force him to resign, and even assassinate him.
