Looks like everything is blowing up in China.

Explosion happened in E China’s Tianjin City Wed. Huge mushroom cloud seen. Quake felt 10 km away.

Looks like the economic fraud in China reached critical mass.

Nice to see our future, local, happenings from a safe distance in living color.

I doubt our grid will still be up when this stuff happens here, and look at what just happened in the West, it WILL happen here sooner or later.

Well, good thing for some Chinese that have been buying our corporations, assets and the land beneath our feet.

Probably not very good for us, but right now, nobody seems to mind as we continue to pack our jobs/future/productivity up and ship it to Asia.

Kaboom, indeed

Ho-Li Shit! What blew up? I though the little fireball was the explosion…then the REAK ka-boom. Twice!

Also, little or no traffic on highway. Late at nigh or is this a “ghost city?”

My first thought was, “The Empire strikes back.”

Wavering client states, France and Germany, have felt the sharp picks of our displeasure. So too have wandering countries like Iraq, Libya, and Malaysia. Russia’s been sanctioned and militariy presured by NATO. Protests in Hong Kong and Xinjiang have reminded China of our reach.

I have no evidence that the explosions, fires, and deaths in Tianjin City are other than local accidents.
But I do know that The Empire will do whatever it takes to keep its hold and The Empire will strike back.

Check the shock wave from that big blast! So intense the guy holding the camera backed off the window when it hit, probably thought it was coming right on through. Surely a mighty blast!

The glorious part is that today, while we can all figure this has a 99% chance of being accidental given Chinese “safety” standards… we can’t be totally certain this isn’t covertly caused by some non-Chinese person with a grudge. And perhaps hacking skills, or time fuse skills, or ____.

Is China having a really bad couple of weeks – or is WW3 in the opening stages? Probably just the former, but who knows?
