Texas, Canada, and Mexico - three nations, one-sixth the number of Red China's population, but substantially more GNP than Red China.

      It is truly remarkable.  Throughout the capitalist and supposedly largely free market we take for granted the Europeans, Japanese, most of the New World,  folks from Singapore, Hong Kong, etc.  and assume that our institutions are, can we say,  malleably permanent.   Changes are made, sometimes we return to previous processes, and things can rumble along as the big-rigs thunder through the night, carrying billions and trillions of dollars worth of goods, from California to the New York Highlands.
     But, there are conditions and exceptions, as we know.  And how do we fashion a relation between one nation that is totally totalitarian and the other is marginally, at least, a free enterprise adherent?   Suddenly, now, we have found a new game in town.   It has been facing us since the evacuation of the Free Chinese under Chiang Kai Shek from China to the Island of Formosa…to-day known as Taiwan.   Now we have a brutal, no-conscience morality, communist, dictatorship strutting about as if said dictatorship is the Number One Rooster in town.   That brutal, murderous, soul-less entity is dedicated to active numerous propositions.  To wit:

     (1)   Hate round-eyes, hate Orientals who are friendly with round-eyes.  Love Mao Tse Tung, adhere to the Red Chinese National Anthem - "Oh! How I love to carry dung to the dung heap for Chairman Mao",  regard other races and ethnicities as sub-human, and…do everything to upset every apple cart in the market anywhere possible.
     (2)   Use American children as organ donors, and suck in Roundeye Capitalists to first become investors and partners in Red Chinese business and projects, and then become organ donors for keeping geriatric Red Chinese poo-bahs aliveforever.   One must admire a nation that has 1,300,000,000 (1.3 billion) citizens producing almost six trillion dollars worth of value added. It compares to the Republic of Texas, the United States of Mexico, and Canada.  The only small problem???

      …….The three named nations…all in the tier of the highest 15 nations produce around seven trillion dollar in economic activity drawn from a population base of 210,000,000 souls…
including the Texian hero of all time, The Lone Ranger and his magical white mount Silver.  Onto, the noble Indian sidekick. and protector and his horse, Sergeant had a lamentable name, which translated from the Spanish to " silly, mentally dull".
   Which brings to mind the Canadian Sergeant Preston of the Yukon and his Wonder Dog King and his wonder horse Rex who frequently would assist in quadruple bypass operations for heart patients who happened to be short on funds!!!   The dog "King" also made a killing in the Stock Market just before the collapse of 1899 on the Stock Market (never trust anything inside of the city of New York).       

     Everyone knows that The Lone Ranger was and remains an icon forever.   He was a friend to all good people and an enemy of all bad people.  He even had a hood ornament named Tonto, whose name in the Spanish had  the unfortunate translation into the English of "silly, mentally dull" from the Spanish.  The Lone Ranger and his trusted Indian Friend each had horses  that could understand nine languages and perform analytical  quantum physics problems in their sleep.
      We finish our efforts for the evening with the reminder of another brilliant defender of his nation.
       This would be, of course, the person of a 30 year old Cavalry General leading a Mexican Army…of around 7,000 well and not-so-well trained and equipped soldiers (mainly Zapotec Indians and National Guardsmen)…meeting and defeating a thoroughly trained, well-led, well-fed, well-mounted French Infantry, Artillery, and Cavalry numbering around 32,000 moving up to take the important city of Puebla…the front door to the City of Mexico, their next stop.   Ignacio Zaragoza Sequin, Commander in Chief…was born a Texian, not far from Goliad.
    He was also the nephew of his Uncle Juan Sequin, one of the great liberators of Texas against the horrid tyrant Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna…who was defeated in 1836 the same way Gen. Charles de Lorencez would be defeated by Juan Sequin's nephew, Ignacio Zaragoza Sequin.

More later.
