Late last year, as the Chinese government prepared to enact tough new tax rules, the billionaire Sun Hongbin quietly transferred $4.5bn worth of shares in his Chinese real estate firm to a company on a street corner in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, one of the least populated and least known states in the US. Sioux Falls is a pleasant city of 180,000 people, situated where the Big Sioux River tumbles off a red granite cliff. It has some decent bars downtown, and a charming array of sculptures dotting the streets, but there doesn’t seem to be much to attract a Chinese multi-billionaire. It’s a town that even few Americans have been to.  Continue reading “The great American tax haven: why the super-rich love South Dakota”

In a recently published article entitled, We Have No Reason to Believe 5G is Safe, Scientific American (SciAm) magazine issued a stern warning about the known and potential dangers of 5G technology.

Porter in 1845, and running monthly since 1921.

These assets do not become the assets of the taxpayers of California. California is funding the state through monetization and hypothecation debt scams. The state government of California says: “We use so much gasoline in California annually, so we’re going to borrow money then charge a tax.”  Continue reading “California Dreamin’ To California Shithole”
