There is a reason Trumpers, Brexiteers, Danes, Germans, Hungarians and many more are all abandoning establishment political parties for popularist ones. It is coming to Australia real soon too.

    I'm sorry what?! I'm no "sheeple" that just believes everything I hear, but did he legit just say that the only reason the US is anti-Huawei is because the US is "just worried that their products and services are too competitive".....? There are _tons_ of foreign products in the US that are at the top of their markets, and nobody bats and eye. To say there's 0 reason to be even a tiny bit suspicious of Huawei is ridiculous. Even the fact that it is Chinese doesn't make sense, because so is 75% of the rest of the stuff in the US lol.

    I really appreciate your goals and focus yet unfortunately God isn't going to allow such a result that you desire. I couldn't understand why my journey has been the way it has been over the past 6 years yet I have been working on a formula and it appears the system that I have developing is what you have been asking for. Yet ultimately it is denied by God. Sorry my man. I guess certain things asked is not to be received. Peace
