Billionaire investor Mark Mobius says he cannot take money out of China
Billionaire investor Mark Mobius told FOX Business he cannot take his money out of China due to the country's capital controls, cautioning investors to be "very, very careful" about investing in an economy under a tight government grip.

A) I doubt it. The CIA also said that Saddam had WMD and was responsible for 9-11. The CIA said that Qaddafi massacred his own people. The CIA said that Noriega was a huge drug runner. The CIA said they were training "moderate rebels" in Syria. The CIA ran opium from the Golden Triangle and Afghanistan. The CIA said Russia blew up its own pipelines.
The CIA doesn't tell little white lies, it tells giant whoppers that anybody else would be embarrassed to mouth.
B) Give me one cogent reason why we should get involved. Otherwise- fuck Taiwan.

Quote:It wasn't the CIA. It was George Bush lying. But that is to be expected because Bush lied extensively while Texas governor and even lied about his time in the Texas National Guard. He had the documents destroyed that would prove he was lying. A Texas governor can destroy Texas National Guard documents about himself.

No, really, George W. Bush lied about WMDs

Besides the false claims about WMDs, a false confession, obtained under torture, of a link between Saddam Hussein and Al Qaeda was used to justify the Iraq invasion.

I would love to go through all your other complaints about the CIA, but the truth is that it is Republican Presidents that are deliberately lying and, when caught, shift the blame to low-level people with no reputations in the CIA. This is what happens when a completely immoral person such as Bush or Trump is elected President. They lie all the time because lying about matters that should never be falsified is very natural for Republican Presidents. See Richard Nixon's biographies if you want to know how far back this rottenness goes.
Republicans use a variant of the same trick, but against Democrats rather than Iraqis, by lying about matters that should never be falsified, but the lies are about what Democrats did, not what Iraqis did.

By the time GWB became President he was a brain-burned dry-drunk and Dick Cheney's meat puppet. The fault wasn't there, it was further back. Cheney, Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz, Feith. CIA "stovepiping" the desired "intelligence" to national security team under the Urging of senior WH officials.

But it goes further back than that. When confronted the CIA shifted the blame to Blair's MI6. The same dimwits that brought us "RUSSIA!RUSSIA!COLLUSION!"
As you can see it's one big dysfunctional family

But I see you dragged the thread off-topic, again, to your monomania.
Maybe YOU can come up with a cogent reason why the USA should pick a fight with China over Taiwan.
TRY not to bring up Trump, Republicans, Russia, or "Trumptards", if you can. It seems mighty difficult for you, but if you're as self-controlled an rational as you SAY you are (/snicker), it should be easy.

Funny comrade. I see it is you who've taken this thread off topic. It wasn't TWO who brought up the CIA, Bush and Iraq. It was you and he just responded, once again taking you to school.

So, can YOU come up with a reason for going to war against China? I'd like you to think about it ahead of the likely stampede.

Ted: Worried about China putting spy chips in Amazon and Apple servers.
Also Ted: Doesn't give a shit about what China is doing and wants to start WWIII with Russia.
You're a fuckin' meat popsicle.

But if our government wants to, they'll come up with SOME excuse for war with China. Freedom of navigation? Save Taiwan? I don't know what, but something.
