I meant Sarah Palin. hahahahaha.... Now if the efforts to disqualify McCain and Obama on the grounds neither were born in USA, as constitutionally required, are successful, then perhaps we could have Hillary vs. Palin. That would be a worth watching contest. My bet still is Hillary is the one elected president come November.
My basis is the powers-that-be that got us into the war in Iraq, and have ruined the economy, also overcame the voters desire to end the war as demonstrated in the last election, have not been checked. They will get their person into the White House. Obama talks as though he would please the warmongers, but he is likely unreliable. McCain is a loose cannon. Hillary is the only safe choice for Hamiltonian USA.
We know election fraud in USA is not about total fraud, just a few percentage points, the minimum necessary to throw and election. Palin on the ticket might very well overwhelm the percentages under control of the election fraudsters. Biden was an unintersting choice as dem VP.
And weirdest of all, Hillary is the one player showing the most class right now. Wow!

Finding China Suppliers
The following is a questions and answer, with my comments interspersed...
Hi John,
This is Cherie Bouma (Gepke) checking in with another question.
I am trying to find another supplier and have found that China is likely the best place for this. I did send a letter to the Chinese Embassy and have not heard back. I looked online in their economic and trade section and found some links but they are all dead or "stale" links so they provide nothing.
***I am finding this more and more, so I am recommending to stick with HKTDC.com... John***
So then I have done as you suggested and contacted Hong Kong Trade Development Council. I have come up with a list of suppliers that I will contact and most are based in Hong Kong. The HKTDC also suggested that I pay them for their "business matching service" in order to find the best supplier.
***I'd skip that...***
This brings me to my questions. Does Hong Kong still serve as an entrepot for China? If so, when I write letters to the suppliers, should I reference the NTDB for imports from China? Also, if I do not attain the results I would like, is it worth paying them for their business matching service?
*** Hong Kong is not longer the entrepot for China, not like it was up until say 1980.... all is wide open now, except Hong Kong has such advantages, that it does still play an outsized role in China trade. Sure, always quote what facts you have, just know that HK and China are one country, and the data can be broken out or added together, and I think the confusion is skewin the figures... I would just add them all together.***
*An interesting observation. .. while searching HKTDC for suppliers, I found suppliers listed from all over the world, including Europe and UK, not just China, HK and Taiwan. I found this very interesting.
Thanks,
Cherie (Gepke)
Hi Cherie,
Hello, I took John’s class in Las Vegas several months ago. My products are travel related accessories which 90% come from China (researched through NTDB). I contacted the commercial attaché for China in Washington DC and they sent me several links to find suppliers. The website they recommended was http://www.alibaba.com/ . After searching through the suppliers I found the top tier suppliers from my competitors and Walmart/Target. Most suppliers can be contacted through live chat forums. Most will tell you their customers which are your competitors. I also found several more competitors through the Directory of US Importers. I contacted my competitors and they have sent me catalogs, pricelists and most importantly Sales Rep contact information. I verified the supplier’s information through my competitor’s websites for matching products. I have meeting set-up with the suppliers in China for two weeks in October.
John’s system is working perfectly…
I would recommend Alibaba website, I would shy away from paying anyone because they will always recommend what’s in their best interest…Just a few thoughts, hope this helps.
Good Luck
Martin
