Transcontinental Oligarch Financial Elite - China Covets Taiwan (TSMC) - Investment Nexus: Blackstone, China (Tsinghua University) and Israel - Control A.I. and Control the Future Until 2100 - Private Equity Investments Under Scrutiny - Rhodes Scholars to Be Replaced

Ed.'s note: This is what we need to be looking very closely at since it is apparent US law enforcement and intelligence don't seem to be too interested in looking carefully at these connections to China originating out of the US through a transcontinental oligarchy. This transcontinental oligarchy that operate completely out in the open and above the law have monopolistic investment tendencies affecting electronic technologies. This is entirely due to Judaic majority control over monetary issuance and financial investments. This would be considered "anti-semitic", but what do the facts suggest? Would we be "anti-Asian" because we look closely at China as well? The Judaics don't seem to realize that their attachment to digital technology will be their downfall, as their schemes are being exposed in real time at an accelerating rate. The tech is not theirs: it is emerging from a good space, just as cars did from enlightened inventor Henry Ford.

This transcontinental oligarchy can buy up or bribe whoever they want to who are corruptible and what is not nailed down. This constitutes a massive unfair advantage in commerce, which skews it from voluntary/consensual exchanges within a basically competitive/free-market economy, to an exploitative, usury/debt-based Judaic crony capitalism. Rather than investing in manufacturing, this transcontinental oligarchy and their private networks of money managers create increasingly complex financial instruments that promise vast new sources of wealth for themselves. Banks become more usurious and credit card companies learn to hate late payers and poor credit risks. The transcontinental oligarchical financial elite have been moving their investments to Israel and China.

"Get me into Stanford baby."

From the CSNBC article republished below, we can start to look for evidence the Chinese-born American computer scientist Fei-Fei Li who went to work for Twitter for ties back to the CCP (see "THE CCP IS THE REAL VIRUS").  Do we have here a Chinese in a key position inside a Silicon Valley tech company? A large sub culture of Chinese and Taiwanese work in Silicon Valley and go to school at Stanford University. Many of these employees and students have allegiance to the CCP. There are signs that we can look for such as collaborating with top Chinese universities with ties to PLA. One of Fei-Fei Li's area of research specializes in artificial intelligence. Stanford is now using COVID-19 to build HAI (Human Artificial Intelligence) systems. Stanford does not reveal the extent of Chinese influence at the university. If wealthy Chinese want to get their children into Stanford they just pay top dollar and call it "scholarship" and "funding." If you were on the board of Stanford when most other America universities are strapped for cash, would you turn down $6.5 million? Stanford has a multimillion-dollar facility in China which is where they attract Chinese students - and money from.

Kai-Fu Lee is a Taiwanese-born American computer scientist, businessman, and writer. Lee is a pretty bright Chinese guy. He is considered to be "one of the most prominent figures in the Chinese internet sector." He was the founding director of Microsoft Research Asia, serving from 1998 to 2000; and president of Google China, serving from July 2005 through September 4, 2009. Lee renounced his US citizenship and moved to China where he now resides. What did he take back to China with him from Google and Microsoft? When he was at Microsoft he was vice president of interactive services. Lee stated that "China will likely surpass the US in A.I. because of Chinese demographics having large data sets."

Lee moved to China and not Taiwan where he was originally from. Lee is now CEO of Sinovation Ventures that manages a $2 billion dollar dual currency investment fund with a focus on developing the next generation of Chinese high-tech companies. He is the former President of Google China and the founder of what is now called Microsoft Research Asia. He is involved in training Chinese for the A.I. industry. Kai-Fu Lee was behind Microsoft's Google Suggest that an Israeli team (Israel's Technion Institute) picked up on and from then Google expanded into Taiwan, Hong Kong, Russia and Western Europe.

Dr. Lee's Passionate Vision for the World in AI Superpowers

China's plan is to dominate the artificial intelligence industry by 2030. The big concern here is whether or not China will dominate artificial intelligence for military applications? It then comes into question why Google employees objected to Project Maven and why? This followed by Google setting up facilities in China to research artificial intelligence? Google in America rejects using A.I. for military purposes then promptly sets up in China to research A.I. It is pretty clear by most observers that whatever country controls A.I. will control the future out to 2100. The only way China can dominate A.I. is with highly advanced microprocessors and the only company right now that dominates this technology is TSMC in Taiwan (the "tool shed" of the coming 4th industrial revolution).

The critical component: The Dutch ASML EUV machines that manufacture microprocessors used by TSMC that China needs and covets. The heart of this machine are the optics manufactured by the German company Zeiss

China has a sophisticated ongoing intelligence operation against Taiwan and continuously feeds that collected intelligence data on Taiwan back to the CCP in China through the Chinese Party-military state. The CCP has an unknown number of front companies located in Hong Kong that are fronts for spying. See the contention now? It is likely going to start a shooting war in the South China Sea. Tsinghua University is ranked top in the world for computer science, based on its total research output and performance. Tsinghua University is advancing artificial intelligence with a recent joint research facility with the German engineering giant Bosch on machine learning.

Back to the transcontinental oligarchs with some background. Stephen Allen Schwarzman is an American businessman, investor, and philanthropist. He is the chairman and CEO of The Blackstone Group, a global private equity firm he helped establish in 1985. Being one of these transcontinental oligarchs and being Jewish, Schwarzman provided $10 million to Israel's national library in 2018. A measly sum out of has estimated $20 billion net worth. Don't let Schwarzman's philanthropy fool you into thinking his philanthropy goes to helping society out especially American society. Much of Schwarzman's philanthropic (more like misanthropic giving) giving found its way into China's Tsinghua University.

Schwarzman's philanthropy (philanthropy helps to hold off charges of "anti-semitism") included dumping $100 million on New York's public library but insisted his name be in large enough font for everyone to see as they walk into the library. His name joins two other Jewish names chiseled into the granite above the entrance. Jewish oligarchs often do this type of "philanthropy" to deflect attention away from how they make disgusting amounts of money from financial manipulation and through illegitimate means. They probably snicker between sipping expensive wine at elaborate parties put on by Schwarzman's friend Sam Zell. Have you been to the New York Library recently?

Schwarzman Scholars is an international postgraduate award program for students to study at Tsinghua University in China founded by Stephen A. Schwarzman. The program launched in June, 2016 upon the completion of Schwarzman College at Tsinghua University, is located in Beijing, China. The Schwarzman Scholars has affiliations with organizations with direct links to the CCP. Schwarzman's goal is to make the Schwarzman Scholars on a par if not better than the Rhodes Scholarship program with total donations now at around $400 million. Why would Schwarzman want this type of coordination with China if it didn't benefit Israel? These Jewish transcontinental oligarchs have no allegiance to any country except Israel.


As you would expect, Henry Kissinger is on the advisory board for Schwarzman Scholars as well as several other transcontinental Jewish elite. John L. Thornton who is on the advisory board of Schwarzman Scholars, served as an architect of Phase I of President Trump's US-China trade deal now failing in the energy sector. Schwarzman is a "personal advisor" to President Trump and has extensive holdings not only in Israel, but in China as well. It was President Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner who brought Stephen Schwarzman into the White House. Here is where it gets interesting, with Kushner and Schwarzman's close connections to Israel, they along with their Wall Street connections didn't want an all out trade war on China. That would have an impact on Israel risking investment in Israeli technology from Chinese sources. Kushner's job is to make certain relations between Israel and China are not compromised in any way.

Stephen Schwarzman and President Trump

If readers want to understand more about what is going on between China and Israel, look at Kushner's connections like with Rupert Murdoch's wife Wendi Deng who was born in China. What is her allegiance to China and possibly the CCP? Aren't US intelligence officials even looking at all these connections? Deng was accused of spying (see: Siege: Trump Under Fire by Michael Wolff) for the Chinese and it was probably through her that Stephen Schwarzman had good inside intelligence on potentially lucrative investments in China. This is the center of the Kushner-Bannon fallout. The only thing is does Bannon fully grasp the gravity of the situation of American technology being bled out of America to Israel after decades of spying and espionage with perhaps some of this technology provided to China?

"Work out your feud, gentlemen."


What caused the financial collapse on Wall Street in 2008? The financial crisis was primarily caused by deregulation in the financial industry. That permitted banks to engage in hedge fund trading with derivatives. Banks then demanded more mortgages to support the profitable sale of these derivatives. They created interest-only loans that became affordable to subprime borrowers. Jewish-controlled financial houses on Wall Street made a killing making loan modifications to help the same customers avoid foreclosure. The only ones who made a lot of money were the rentiers (see Krugman, Rule by Rentiers, 2011). The financial collapse in 2008 wasn't some kind of a financial aberration either. It was driven by greed (the Goldman Sachs "vampire squid"). In 2007 around 50 hedge fund managers on Wall Street accumulated around $29 billion, mainly speculating on sub prime mortgages (see Avoiding the Next Holocaust: Preserving Our Democracy). Steven Schwarzman of the Blackstone Group made $1.5 billion in 2007, while Samuel Israel of Bayou Group LLC, was sentenced to 20 years prison and ordered to forfeit $300 million after pleading guilty to defrauding investors.


We do not know and neither to we fully comprehend the extent of Chinese-Israel relations in trade and technology. This public data is not available to make a thorough assessment so what we have to go on is what is available. Relations between Israel and China have been growing rapidly with trade between the two countries now at around $15 billion with the US asking Israel to "eliminate trade in sensitive areas."

Public Data Doesn't Capture Extent of Chinese-Israeli Deals, Says Investor

Considering Schwarzman Scholars investment of around $400 million at Tsinghua University in China, Israel is also involved with Tsinghua University. On September 1st and 2nd of 2016, Tel Aviv University (TAU), in collaboration with Tsinghua University, held the first annual China-Israel Innovation Forum (CIIF) in Beijing. This was the first time leaders of China and Israel's private, public, and academic sectors came together at one event. Discussion topics included the innovative economy, globalization, cyber-security and policy, and the Internet of Things (IoT). How would Schwarzman's financial investment in Tsinghua University in China with increasing technological and intellectual trade between China and Israel benefit America where Stephen Schwarzman runs Blackstone out of New York?

China & Israel Venture Beyond the Ivory Tower


In 2017 Blackstone was in talks to buy the Israeli tech firm NSO Group for $400 million. NSO Group has the spyware that is now alleged to be "impersonating Facebook to spread spyware." It was the Israeli NSO Group's Pegasus spyware that got inside WhatsApp owned by Facebook to spy on 1,400 of its users, including journalists, human rights activists, and diplomatic officials. The spying was probably to determine what these 1400 WhatsApp users were discussing regarding Israel. The private equity firm Blackstone wanted to purchase NSO Group accused of spying on people through spyware? One of Kushner's companies borrowed $400 million from Schwarzman's Blackstone over a four year period from 2013 to 2017. As it turns out, this is the same $400 million amount Schwarzman's Blackstone offered to NSO Group to buy up 40% of NSO Group (see Proof of Conspiracy By Seth Abramson).

Twitter adds former Google VP and A.I. guru Fei-Fei Li to board as it seeks to play catch up with Google and Facebook

May 16 , 2020 | By Sam Shead

KEY POINTS
• Fei-Fei Li was chief of AI at Google Cloud up until October 2018 when she left as a result of leaked emails relating to the controversial Project Maven project.

• Li is widely respected in the AI industry and Twitter will no doubt hope that she can attract some talented researchers to the company.

• Twitter uses AI algorithms to rank what users see in their feeds, but there is potential to do much more with the technology.

Twitter has appointed Stanford professor and former Google vice president Fei-Fei Li to its board as an independent director.

The social media platform said that Li's expertise in artificial intelligence (AI) will bring relevant perspectives to the board. Li's appointment may also help Twitter to attract top AI talent from other companies in Silicon Valley.

Li left her role as chief scientist of AI/ML (artificial intelligence/machine learning) at Google Cloud in October 2018 after being criticized for comments she made in relation to the controversial Project Maven initiative with the Pentagon, which saw Google AI used to identify drone targets from blurry drone video footage.

When details of the project emerged, Google employees objected, saying that they didn't want their AI technology used in military drones. Some quit in protest and around 4,000 staff signed a petition that called for "a clear policy stating that neither Google nor its contractors will ever build warfare technology."

While Li wasn't directly involved in the project, a leaked email suggested she was more concerned about what the public would make of Google's involvement in the project as opposed to the ethics of the project itself.

“This is red meat to the media to find all ways to damage Google," she wrote, according to a copy of the email obtained by the Intercept. "You probably heard Elon Musk and his comment about AI causing WW3."

"I don't know what would happen if the media starts picking up a theme that Google is secretly building AI weapons or AI technologies to enable weapons for the Defense industry. Google Cloud has been building our theme on Democratizing AI in 2017, and Diane (Greene, head of Google Cloud) and I have been talking about Humanistic AI for enterprise. I'd be super careful to protect these very positive images."

A rising star

Up until that point, Li was seen very much as a rising star at Google. In the one year and 10 months she was there, she oversaw basic science AI research, all of Google Cloud's AI/ML products and engineering efforts, and a new Google AI lab in China.

While at Google she maintained strong links to Stanford and in March 2019 she launched the Stanford University Human-Centered AI Institute (HAI), which aims to advance AI research, education, policy and practice to benefit humanity.
