FTNX AGENCY AGREEMENT
Agency and the Intermediary
10 Sept 2023
FTNX will offer its agency agreement model document in the library in late September 2023 for USCT endorsed members use. The agreement will have the FTNX logo applied and will be supported by FTNX as the expert advisor , should problems arise. The header and support advice cannot be removed when using the agreement. This aspect is a show of force to any any supplier that the agreement is a supported document , creating an added layer of confidence for the supplier to consider such a tenure intently. Selecting to represent an undisclosed supplier offering export products in small units ( a few FCL per month) has already been discussed in the FTNX doctrine as an adverse aspect. For a USCT TRIBE member to attempt securing tenure as an agent for a disclosed supplier offering at least 200 MT of products per month or large NBC revolving shipments bearing minimum tonnage (e.g: 12,500 MT for 6 months or one shipment e.g 100,000 MT ) where such a member is seeking such a tenure–is highly possible scenario– for those who have studied the doctrine intently and have practised its basis for at least a year or more. If the PCT is in the same country as the supplier, this aspect offers the PCT the greatest aspect of protection from being circumvented, as a jilted PCT can take up the matter in a federally inspired court (e.g in USA). If the same PCT is seeking tenure from an international supplier, the PCT should be prepared to visit the supplier ( at PCT expense for the first visit only) first and once the undertaking has been reached on a face to face meeting in an amicable manner, the agency agreement is signed. Face to face meeting will often greatly mitigate matters of circumvention. The PCT must offer the supplier, a new market for its goods as many suppliers already have agents in designated countries (territories) - hence the approach of the PCT seeking agency is about offering the supplier a new market and hence territory which the PCT now ‘owns’ should an export deal eventuate. The PCT may still conduct business as a buyer/seller acting for undisclosed others; except they cannot source goods and offer such goods to sourced tested buyers, already held under agency., once tenure is secured.The PCT reads the agreement intently to obtain the right insight, as supported by the FTNX doctrine.The agents then has six months to conclude on securing as sale of export ready goods for a “ disclosed principal’ when’re upon successful closing of a such deal, the PCT is offered a long term agency; where if the agent is unsuccessful is closing a deal, the agency agreement becomes null and void. The current growing market place is Southern Asia. Many small to medium exporters are appearing monthly, from India to Sth Korea and all the countries in between, without the need to buy goods from China. Many smaller economically growing countries in souther Asia , already have international banking structures and practices in place which is an added bonus for the PCT. Many such suppliers are able to offer a reasonable minimum amount of products, as the export markets open up; especially those products emanating from countries like Malaysia and Indonesia, who are eager to find and secure new international markets. These emerging markets will becomes an economic hot spots for trade within 4 years and such, getting a foothold is southern countries by securing an agency agreement(s) on the side , is an effort well worth the chase.USCT members will only needs to read the agreement to undertaking what their role is about. TRIBE rules and the FTNX doctrine supports the FTNX TRIBE Agency agreement ( FTAA)

NEW MEMBER G20
UNION OF AFRICAN COUNTRIES (UAC)
11 Sept 2023
PCT’s will be pleased to note the new member of the G20 summit announced today in India (currently doing an excellent job of hosting the G20 Summit) in that; any business conducted within any country found on the African continent, will now bear a shared uniform commercial code, may eventuate, in the short terms, once conflict in Sudan finally comes to rest. Conducing both export and import business with / in Africa should will become a simpler process , as the fTNX doctrine is already well understood and applied in the majority of African states. FTNX has had the pleasure to also mentor many African intermediaries over the last few decades ; who for most , have learned the FTNX doctrine of trade and intermediaries , to a high level of comprehension . UAC boasts a population of 1 billion, and 25 state members.Many people in UAC speak, read and write in English proficiently as well. The export import potential for the PCT is excellent .

TRADE FOR 2024 AND PCT
TRADE FOR 2024
8 October 2023
We have Russia warring with Ukraine and your have a Russian leader not sound of mind. Not sound of mind because who would build ballistic missiles that could theoretically run ‘forever’ by attaching a small nuclear reactor to it. Yep Russia! So this Russian created war is set to continue for a while without an end in insight , even after Putin mysteriously vanishes. Today we have Hamas starting a war with Isreal, which could only get worse. Forget about the idea that Palestinians have had their land literally taken from under their feet, land with no access to the sea, because Isreal believes they are entitled to the whole land mass. Primitive people acting like ancient Tribes acting on beliefs and gods that don’t exist, serves this people a reason to exist. We also have a splintered America and traitor called Trump, who puts to shame for why what Assange is being hunted for; and here is Trump ‘free as bird’ and the we have a belligerent China, who still has not attacked Taiwan, as many said was imminent–one year ago. So much for media analysis and the expert claiming such events. The scam of century which is climate change, is still being actively promoted, every time adverse weather is apparent. We now have an El Nino effect to deal with in 2024–whatever that means. Next comes the price of crude oil ; as the taps are being turned down by Opec, and world crude oil price drop to 2018 low prices, motorist (especially in Australia) are now paying record prices for gasoline at the pump–exceeding A$2.20 per litre which makes no sense. Covid pandemic create a who new era of high prices and greed, which remained intact long after the pandemic is declared as being over. It seems prices at the pump has nothing to do with world crude prices. Wha is even stranger is that people are taking weeks off work today because they have Covid, yet we hear nothing about on the media, and viral spread rates, which begs the question? Was it really a pandemic or was it an unusual run of the flu, while the ‘panic-demic’ was playing out. Talking about Australians, going to vote in a referendum next week on whether or not to incorporate native Australians in our Constitution. Strange, I thought Native Australians were ‘Australians’ and do not need such representation. Our Prime minister has deflected the dire financial situation and cost of living issues– by deflecting on such issues via this useless unwarranted referendum Social issues and neglect left by governments, spending billions of dollars to assist aborigines over decades seems to have lined the pockets of many people except aborigines; who are in dire need of such help. To add Aborigines to our Constitution may also mean such people lose their native title rights- may be the real agenda of the government. EV revolution taking hold place and when global sales surpass, a nasty shock will eventuate in 2024 as prices of petrol at the pump continue to rise – to new heights; we are all being ripped off and this time is has nothing to do with OPEC. So what to expect in 2024? I think a belligerent China will become less aggressive and more proactive in getting the economy moving. I think D2, gasoline and refined fuels in general and not crude oil ( which is difficult for a PCT to secure without Russia ) will be the next big rush in refined fuels sales. Resource sector will continue to rise as will prices for goods – especially grains and legumes, and sulphur, as well as a resurgence in coal exports, may also occur, as many large countries struggle to change fully–to Solar/wind power. 2024 is going to be a great year for trading, unfortunately banking sanctions with Russia will means one of the biggest players for PCT’s will be missing from the market place, causing added angst for the PCT. The PCT has to think of higher prices and smaller single NBC shipments in 2024 to obtain sales. Large revolving deliveries are reduced to smaller revolving deliveries. There will be a market place for smaller deliveries of Kerosene and D2 ( 30—80,000 MT) and stable food item like Rice will be sold at a premium, as will most cooking oils including olive oil.

THE PROMISED LAND.
ISREAL AND PALESTINE
13 October 2023
Two mortal enemies living on the same land mass where one asserts its power over the other, to slowly erode, the land under their feet can only lead to one path. The Palestinians have had enough. A fourth world economy taking on a first class fully laden army– must have been a desperate move. Palestinian don’t even have access to the sea. Gaza must be surrendered to Isreal, and Isreal must allow a new border to the north, leading to the sea to be allocated as Palestinian land . Two distinctive countries must eventuate. To try and destroy ‘Hamas’ is a fools errand; and only means that they will be displaced, to other countries where the resentment and hate will only simmer and grow.The Palestinians must be allowed to self rule without continual interference of Isreal and many others. Having said as much, desperate situation involving ancient primitive people will produce ancient and primitive methods of killing people, in a horrific manner that has an emotional effect. To kill an enemy with bullets some how seems better than killing an enemy with knives, axes and bombs, in fact what’s terrible is that innocent people have been killed on both sides, because one side ‘wants it all.’ Isreal was caught in a surprise attack - “when one is looking for peace on their own terms, when one is unusually quiet; this is the time to prepare for war.” One may flay the rhetoric all they like, but Isreal has treated the Palestinians badly. Last week we called them Palestinians, today they are called terrorists, show us clearly the prejudice, discrimination and hate that Isreal and western countries have with certain races, of which Palestinians are at the top of the list. There is no argument that Palestinians have ‘had a continual direct association with the Isreal land mass’ exceeding thousand of years; and yet somehow Isreal has deemed that this land is theirs, in turn openly denying Palestinians the right to even exist; denying such rights to the people who have had enough, has set a dangerous precedent. Isreal and its allies have turned a blind eye to the needs of Palestinians for over 50 years. As for the Palestinians, they need to learn how to fight “ with a pen and not the sword.” Human rights law can be used effectively to favour the Palestinians as precedents are in effect especially to native rights.If the Palestinians can raise money to buy bombs and guns, they can fund such legal action, to force Isreal too, at the very least acknowledge such rights - as a matter of law. To kill Israeli civilians in a barbaric horrific manner, will get Hamas noticed by the whole world, albeit for all the wrong reasons, and serve no purpose in bringing their grievances to light; in fact its made their plight worse. Isreal must parle with Hamas; they need to make ‘a deal.’ Isreal is the superior force hence it is Isreal who must initiate and engage is such talks. A tough and fair leader unlike Solomon or even King David, is missing from the Isreal political matrix.Isreal of today is not that of biblical times. No other nation must be involved in such discussions. Hamas gives up use Gaza quietly , in return they get land connection to the sea, and a new border to the north, while Isreal get a unified land mass, without needing to enforce ‘an island’ full of enemies. This is the real cost of peace. Both side are to blame for each others mistrust and bad intent . An here is an added Irony The UN has called for a humanitarian passage, where was the UN and their humanitarian cause , before the war started? Israel wants Gaza, then are now using the war to claim such rights; their rights and nobody else’s. Having said at much Western nations should also observe that–It seems China has also been overly ‘quiet’ in the last few months ?

ZEHED BIKE
9 Oct 2023E
ZB has now passed the 60% completion. Seed funding supported by FTNX currently stands at $A 33,000 dollars. We estimate that the final product will cost A$ 50,000.00 to incept and take all up another 1 year to completed. It taken 5 year to arrive at this stage, and so much wastage occurred in developing the ZB which becoming a complex bit of machinery. We have removed the ZB from the FTNX site as the project is now getting ‘serious’ attention as some of the ZB running gear will also be developed as stand alone units and therefore needs to be hidden from prying eyes and bad intent until we are ready to expose the concept in running form ( especially the solar powered capacitor power unit and salt, silver and lithium cored pulse motor. ) We are not ready to expose the ZB until is finished and testing has been completed. Class A funding will then proceed to be developed, with support of FTNX , and potential investors world wide once our business model and plan have been completed. For 2024 the FTNX refined fuel board will take the place of the current ZB page, as much sought after refined fuel sales will continue to dominate the market for decades to come. A full outline of the ZBIKE now appears below.

27 OCT 2023
Zero Emission Human Energy Device
By: Davide Giovanni Papa;
Leading global trade expert, Inventor and best selling author
www.ftnx.net
Inventors Quick Notes:
Due to the many inquiries, limited information is released to update readers. Matter that are secret , will not be disclosed.
Advice /insight changes as prototype nears completion.No financial impute considered until testing has been completed first to prove claims made..
The Idea
An idea taking 13 years to arrive at the current stage.The ZBIKE prototype is being constructed which may lead to further developments in 2025 - should (?) the project go beyond the prototype stage, on merit, the following added insight is served.Should the Investment Project not proceed, the invention will be stored and not sold ’as is.’ Initial first stage financial seeding is provided by FTN exporting to prove the prototype.
Principle ZBIKE Operations.
Enter into the cabin of your Zbike, and start peddling to reach 5 KPH or more, before electric motors can be deployed. Using human energy when the most power is needed at ‘take off’ means the need for huge ‘dirty’ battery packs have been eliminated. Once the ZBike electric motor is deployed, the bike could cruise at speeds up to 60 KPH or more ( export markets), using the energy provided by the Sun. When there is no Sun, or when driving at hight; while cruising and coasting, the peddles are cranked backwards to initiate a generator to service electric power to the ‘capacitor motor.’ The Zehed-bike never needs charging and will be built using old fashion technology, which is intertwined with cutting edge over the horizon technology; that should have been already used in EV’s.
Preamble
- A one passenger Pod with all the comforts of a car, that never needs charging, is easy to repair and uses no plastic.
- The Zbike will exported world wide by FTNX
- Leaving the car at home for all those short trips will dramatically in crease the quality of the air we breathe and help mitigate aspects of climate change.
- The Zbike is a ‘Peoples Bike.’ The base mode will be sold under A$ 5000 per unit locally. Special models are models which have accessories added to the base model.
- Z-Bikes beyond the prototype stage, must be made locally using only Australian made products, know how, and raw materials, is the ultimate goal. Parts and products which cannot be made in Australia will be sourced only from England, Germany, Italy, Japan and USA.
- Should the project proceed to its final stage, a ZBike plant will be established isn Bacchus Marsh, Victoria subject to government assistance.(300 Seniors workers / 55 apprentices: 35 Hours per week; working with pride.) Other states ( or countries) will be tested should the Victorian State Government not financially assist in the Zbike development.
- ZBIKE will revive a once thriving respected Australian industries to do with Carpentry, Hides/Tanning, Sewing, Fitting and Turning. Steel/ Machinists,Design, Moulding, Painting and Manufacturing.
- Tyres will also be eliminated on the final publicly released model.
- Initially, the prototype mode is to test the efficiently of the motor and drive as claimed.
- Should the investment aspect proceed, such will follow ASIC rules in relation to raising capital as per Australia Company law.
- Currently production line will need to make no less than 300 Zbikes per day to satisfy local consumption alone ( 10 years)
- ZBike license to produce ZBikes in the countries will become a necessity
- Current 80% investment share capital requires A $ 39 Million Dollars .
- Conservative sales estimate exceeding 500 billion dollars over ten year is the initial aim.
ZBIKE Features:
- Zbike is a bicycle as defined under Australian law
- Fully covered bicycle with doors.
- finished in Australian made marine ply and Carnauba wax.
- Raw unpainted models (for personal painted models available )
- organically factory painted models available
- Locally made 12 Volt 28 Amp 250 Watt DC motor (Aus models) 500 watts, super charged model also available for exports.
- Micro Solar Panels using a new type of ‘bud collector ‘ as invented by FTNX outperforming equivalent solar panels by 50%
- 1000 Volt DC Capacitor Bank
- Peddles for use as needed at take off.
- 20 Volt peddle generators for night driving is fitted.
- Retractable pilot wheels ( to replace legs on normal bike)
- Air Con
- Heater
- Wipers: The actual technology called STT ( See Through Technology) allows a drivers to use a screen to see with clarity the road ahead while it’s heavily raining.
- (STT computer chip cancels the effect tor rain on the windscreen and enhances the view in front, with computer generated images.)
- UV (kills bacteria) when recirculating air inside the Pod
- iPhone Jack/USB jack
- RF Radio
- Storage cabinets
- Side window
- Rear view mirror camera set up.
- Full instrumentation
- Bag/coat holder
- Indicators, lights, horn, brakes, and anti theft device.
- Zbike to Zbike communications; 50 Metre coverage ; One Zbike user advising others in front or behind of road hazzards.
- Full seat and backrest with seat belt
- Huge range of variable speeds via back wheel rive
- Skins/ cow hide interior
- Exterior power source
- Twin coupling system (TCS)
- Wood and steel construction
- Easy to repair/easy to buy parts
- Organic pains used on body
- Aqua models can float in shallow flood waters
- Roving Police models have two motors( equalling 500 wats)
- Food delivery modes with have a food warmer added.
- Cost under A$ 5000.00 local
- One export price delivered world wide at A$ 6,100.00 ( current)
Australia speed limit of all bicycles is 25 KPH. Many export markets do not have speed limit restrictions on bicycles. Special consideration will be sought to have helmet and speed restriction lifted for ZBike users in Australia .TCS allow for two ZBikes to ‘click’ together side by side to initiate a four wheel two passenger vehicle.No batteries, easy to repair by any handy person, easy and cheap to fix, long lasting eliminating the adverse effects of ‘planned obsolescence’ and therefore the adverse effect caused by recycling industry.Testing to be completed in 2025. That’s the idea!

REFINED FUELS & PCT 2024
CRUDE OIL AND THE PCT 2024
24 October 2023
With the Russian primary crude oil market place gone; intermediaries plying crude oil deals will have a difficult time 2024 . Not so if you are dealing in refined fuels, as many smaller producers having capacity to supply such fuels. FTNX current quotes served to us for jet fuel from storage facilities e.g; Rotterdam and the likes is between US$ 90 and 98 dollar per barrel. While, purchase from Tank farms is not an option, purchasing such fuels FAS or Fob is indeed workable. Refined fuels are currently highly attractive and easier product to source compared to crude oil. All grades of Diesel , ATO Gas-oil, and jet fuel A1 as well as Naphtha ( which is the stock used to make fuel) should be sourced by the PCT in 2024. With prices to surge towards the US$ 200 dollar per BBL mark in 2024 , refined fuels will be eagerly sought . While the market place has created panic in relation to consumer converting to EV, ( in the name of greed and profit rather than doom) the same can’t be readily applied to Cargo ships, freight trains, trucks and especially planes . Planes are now bering fitted out as cargo carriers at an increasing rate as passenger/cargo delivery long distance flights increase. If climate change has any truth in its being ( which it hasn’t), then ostensibly the culprit alone which has caused an implied rise in global temperatures could be attributed to passenger planes. Forget about what AI or the internet search states;( so many different answers to the same question is fast becoming a big internet problem;AI seems to change words in text incorrectly as well. ) the fact of the matter is this - a fully loaded large passenger jet , travelling from lets say Australia to USA will burn around 200 MT of Jet fuel - one way. Yes! I said 200 MT. With an estimate that there are around 100,000 large planes ( 20% more or less) roaming the skies daily; the earth is being heated up by these massive ‘air warmers ‘ with the release of a huge amount of carbon emissions- every single day. Any scientist tying to convince us that cars and not these large planes are the biggest polluters of them all - must have a fossilised brain. Billions of tons per year of pollution emitted by large jets- is indeed the culprit. As for 2024; smaller localised wars seems to be the future trend of warfare as such the business of trade will still need to be conducted while countries fight each other. Insurance policy premiums for goods being delivered to near by war zone ports attract high premiums, exceeding 3.0% of charge value, and all such wars ‘must end one day’ which adds in a positive way, to matters of sourcing supply. E.g: Isreal will soon need to commences rebuilding. Even humanitarian supplies also fall into the business aspect of the PCT. There is going to be plenty scope for business in 2024 applying the rule of law; the same laws that Russia says it does not obey–while taking up its legal position on the UN council, or taking legal action against western corporations,likewise China; which is obviously untrue. Russian and China simply finds it difficult to comprehend westerns methods of doing business and democratic principles of Government, nevertheless, these two countries will have no compunction to use the rule of law, ( which they often do) when it suits. With rumours swirling that Putin has had a heart attack on Sunday morning, we can only hope that’ should the emperor leave his throne’ the new puppet master of the Russian people, is able to restore Russian exports - to pre 2014 levels, by getting sanctions removed. As for Palestine; a shitty bit of land is all they want, and yet Isreal feels death is a better option. Palestinian people cannot separate themselves from Hamas as religion and and laws are intertwined.The killing of innocent Palestine people, have been brought onto themselves, by accepting the nature Hamas to interact with their lives .Lets not forget , Hamas tried to 'kill the king first,' and failed. Its a war, and yet media portrays it as normal media event.Palestine is an ancient land bearing ancient people. Palestinians deserve a bit of land to call their own; land which has access to the sea. Isreal needs to stop the bombings and in discriminate murder of civilians, and relocate all Palestinians with good intent , north to a "promised land of their own.' To deny as much is to deny history. Isreal may seen righteous in their efforts to clear its land of sworn enemies, an enemy with no economy , no army and very little rights and means. This is not a war to serve a purpose, this is a war of annihilation.As such, Isreal is killing people for no sound reason; an aspect of war that the Jewish people are very familiar with; and yet it is the very same Jewish people who are now becoming embroiled in causing the same atrocities, they had to endure during WWII. It seems Israel does not obey the very foundation of laws, proclaimed by Moses, which have become the founding laws of western civilisation.'They shall not kill,' is a commandment of their faith, and yet while killing continues Sunday to Friday- the Sabbath is still regard as a 'holy' day. The high virtue of Mercy means nothing to Isreal. Forgiveness does not serve to dismiss the evil aspects of Hamas; it serves to show thew world true might of a superior force. In my opinion , the Jewish faith rests on a bed of lies, not worth preaching; what's being done to the Palestinians proves as much.It takes courage for one of might, to turn the other cheek, knowing that they achieve more with a pen than a sword. As for the Palestinians , and wealthy Arab connections, they need to fund their own right to self determination using the rule of law, via The Hague, to enforce their claim. It may takes years to achieve, but such rights ultimately cannot be denied to the Palestinian race. Palestinians have the same Human Rights as the rest us; they have the same Human Rights that gave the Jewish people Isreal. "Talking about calling the kettle black.' Isreal better take notice of this fact intently, now - or be prepared to suffer more consequences - later. The sword of Damocles hangs above Isreals head. Israel is wrong- Palestinians are wrong - equally. One needs land, the other needs to compromise. This is how "two wrongs" can become a right.

CRUDE OIL FROM INDIA
CRUDE OIL FROM INDIA
4 November 2023
PCT’s beware. India is buying a lot of sanctioned Russian crude oil and fuel, some of which seems to be traded globally by ill informed intermediaries in India, which have turned out to be fake deals once tested by FTNX. Unless the crude or fuel has been reprocessed or blended to allow a certificate of origin to be issued by India, buying such crude oil/fuel (COF) is a financially precarious trading situation where end buyer could lose money for buying goods which cannot be imported into another relevant country, observing Russian COF sanctions. PCT’s have no protection from the doctrine is they choose to trade in sanctioned Russian COF.

HUMANITY ON THE BRINK
HUMANITY ON THE BRINK
6 November 2023
A superior force like Israel indiscriminately using lethal means to destroy a weak force such as the Palestinian race, is doing exactly what was done to Isreal, by the Nazis in World War II. Flay the rhetoric in any manner you wish, the end result is the same. One primitive backwards race with weapons and powerful friends, annihilating the other who has no weapons and very few ‘friends’ , and doing so intentionally without compassion or mercy - is a war crime. I hope a war crime tribunal is held after this battle has ended; to find Isreal has acted beyond its scope. As for the Palestinians and their tie to Hamas; innocent people are responsible for their affiliations, even those who ties with Hamas is not relevant, must bear the brunt of such affiliation and endorsements - for not condemning Hamas. Having said that, the way Isreal is conducting warfare is both poorly applied and vicious bordering on actual real time genocide. Religion and genocide; two aspects of past wars, has remained with us. Humanity has lost its face to primitive religious ideals, animosities and stupidity. The followers of Moses taking on the followers of Allah is typically what this battle is about, to say otherwise is to deny the facts before us. Then we have Christian led societies and governments therein such, as the USA, serving support on the side of Isreal, who doesn’t even recognise nor accept the Christian dogma. We all pretend to tolerate and respect each others religion in goods times, and abandon such ideals when times are bad. Being a human being living on a planet with so many ancient prejudicial ideals, hasn’t worked for thousands of years. 80 percent of the population believe in “some kind of God.” Perhaps it’s about time we all omit religion from any form of conflict, and that we all need to look at ourselves, and the lives we have each led and further consider supporting the need of our fellow human being under the banner of humanity and mercy. To believe in each others ability to do good, is a faith yet to be discovered. To believe in a supreme being, is a much simpler process to apply, as it is to wage war in the name of God. Being ignorant about matters of religion is no longer an excuse. The rule of law must be used in a manner which also omits the name of God from its proceedings. We are humans, we are meant to be the superior intelligent race among all creatures, instead I see the majority of people as being a ignorant race, serving their own ideals indifferent to the sufferings of other ‘fellow humans.’ “ FTNX took the name of God out of the insurance clause to do with CIF transaction , to which international bodies followed suit soon thereafter. An ‘Act of God’ cannot be accurately defined and has no place in covering lost goods bearing accurate description. FTNX did it with a pen.” Isreal cannot define their God, neither can Christians and Moslems, and yet it is in the name of such gods, that young children, babies, men and women are slaughtered in droves. 80 percent of the population are complicit is the slaughter of innocent Palestinians people–over a shitty bit of land. 80 percent of the people on this planet are complicit, in default , by not allowing the Palestinian people the right of self determination. Palestinians did attack first, but failed in its objective to move forward, has become obvious - and yet the slaughter continues. It’s about time that the people of the of world wake up to themselves and leave religion out of the fray. To fight a good fight, without religion, means fighting with a pen and not the sword. When we allow the word of God to prevail over the rule of law; the outcome is always predicable–History does not lie. Palestinians must wave ‘white flags’ on mass, in the streets, to show they have ‘surrendered; killing a race of people, ‘ who have ‘surrendered’ will leave the Israeli army with NO CHOICE but to stop the killing; or face retribution from the rest of us. "I may not like a race of people, but will fight to the end in defending their rights. Being a bigot does not make you a racist - nor should it make the rest of us murderers. Palestinians have a genuine gripe. Choosing to deny such people such rights, is what caused this war."

CHINA IS BACK
CHINA BACK TO NORMAL
FTNX EDUCATIONAL SERIES:THEORY AND PRACTICE
6 Nov 2023
Australian exports to China have increased to nearly double pre Covid levels; and with more tariffs being revoked ( especially for wine, lobsters.etc.) Australia is set to regain full trading status with China from 2024.
China is now prepared to at least try and make the required efforts needed to normalise international trade markets; which is good news for intermediaries worldwide. Accepting a DLC from a Chinese leading bank does not need to be confirmed, alleviating concerns raised, when Russia invaded Ukraine. China is very different to Russia; they seem to share the same political values, but not its virtues and aspirations. Managing a market place containing 1.5 billion people is not an easy feat,( To those who like casting the first stone; USA has many internal problems at 350 million people, and Australia even more at 25 million people.) and commands respect for China; such respect that Russia does not have. Russia is now set to become an international pariah; on par with Sth Korea. China is looking to import a huge number of goods in 2024/25, most likely exceeding past records. On the negative side, economic depression and /or financial upheaval is also imminent for some western countries; as interest rates and inflation as well as house prices rise in a sea where there are not enough workers to take up vital highly paid job vacancies, especially in law enforcement and the medical industry. This weeks millions of Australians could not use their cards due to services being down for 8 hours.Many had no cash, and could not get cash out due to the outage. Next time–services /disruptions will last for days and that's without even factoring mistakes made by AI. For the next few years PCT’s should locate shipments of agricultural products, for selling into China , as well as metals and even scrap metal/paper and plastic which is making a huge resurgence as countries recommence recycling programs. 70,000 Aluminium cans ( alloys) will generate a payment of AUD$ 700.00 at the recently installed new ( Australian) recycling centres, located in the state of Victoria.The weight of 70000 cans is ( -/+ 2.0%) one MT. With set up costs, maintinence, storage, smelting and ultimate transport costs - locally; collecting such cans is a wasted effort in the long term, as no possible gains could ever eventuate; in simpler terms, these recycling centres will run at a continual loss, until they finally close up again. Climate change rhetoric has surely produced some quick access to government money, to service any Hare brained schemes that 'might' reduce emissions. Some people especially those in politics know how to milk the government, in serving the need of a new agency. Alloy of Aluminium once processed could only be sold internationally for around US$1300.00 per MT AT EXW ( at best). The Australian cans would cost around AUD$ 4/5000.00 per MT once converted to alloy ingots at EXW, just to produce. However a PCT could indeed sell the raw collected cans, with a premium let say AUD 400.00 per MT to the collector, who would only need to ensure goods are delivered at FAS. The PCT now sells such cans to India or China with an added 20% IPG, and still deliver a competitive price for the supply of raw materials, to factories geared to take up large quantities of such metals. These companies, unlike the above scenario, would be able to make, among the other things, aluminium alloy components/ products and sell such products–at a profit–internationally. In essence , a PCT should also look around intently at ways where a local product could be sold overseas; sometimes the matter of supply, could be closer than you may think. As a PCT you (ought) should know what needs to be done, in initiating such a transaction. Lastly, for current PCT's, ensure you secure the supplier and have access to product for 6 months; and ensure the leeway between issuing an offer and first delivery date is 90 days or more. FTNX has had recent success in securing goods using a MOU, rather than asking for a quote.I suggest PCT's to remain issuing MOU out well into December, as it may have a chance to be considered prior to the start of 2024 trading season,( Feb-Aug) which is going to be huge.

HAMAS HAS PAID DEARLY
HAMAS HAS PAID DEARLY
15 Nov 2023
Palestinians via Hamas fired the first shot in doing so brutally killing 100’s of Israel children and citizens. Hamas kidnapped Israelis as well, Israelis who decided to live 700 kilometres away from the centre of town, right next to perceived enemies. If this is not a belligerent act alone, then what is? Hamas has complained for many years how Isreal has been systematically confiscating their homes and land. Hamas attacked Isreal because they have had enough. In response, Isreal prepared for war; when in fact Israeli was preparing to eliminate Palestinians all together – was always the books.The intent of Isreal has become evident. Two races living on the same territory; one desperate, the other bears support of a first class army and allies. Isreal is committing war crimes, without actually declaring a war; this makes it murder- not war; which are not actions pertaining to self defence. How can Israel claim self defence, while wild dogs are eating dead bodies of Palestinians on the streets of Gaza. Is this self defence? Is it self defence that 12,000 Palestinians have been killed and many more are seriously injured. To murder people who are fleeing is not self defence; Nuremberg trials proved as much. If the Philippine navy warned Chinese ships to stay out of its waters, in where the Chinese ship as a belligerent party simply could not give a damn about such warnings , where finally the Philippine navy fires a warning shot and then a barrage of shots which actually sank the Chinese vessel, killing all on board. Does this give the right for China to mobilise its army and overrun the Philippines,(which it could easily do with eyes wired shut) killing and destroying everything in its path in doing so.The answer is no! China should have observed the rights of Philippine by not entering its water, instead of sacrificing lives to satisfy its own agenda. Palestinians have paid a very heavy price for their incursion, and yet Isreal has not stopped the unjust killing of Palestinians. Israel is murdering people ‘en masse.’ A planned attack by Isreal, a superior force, to annihilate a weaker forces on its land is not ‘pay back.’ It is not ‘quid pro quo,’ by default . It is murder. Isreal was looking for an excuse to retake control of Gaza; the attack by Hamas gave them the excuse. In the event of localised incursions, this is what western civilisation can expect face in the future , every time a dispute arises, for stepping back and allowing Isreal to continue its slaughter-unabated. For God’s sakes, no matter whose God is apparent, people have been taken to court for killing whales and dogs; and yet we are all turning a blind eye to the plight of human beings being indiscriminately wiped out at will by a superior force. When the dust settles , Isreal will have to pay a heavy price in the future, as the Isreal we all once new, will never be the same again. Hamas made a big mistakes, but Isreal has made a bigger one by no observing history via the plight and suffering of their own people during World War II. What Isreal is doing to the Palestinians is beyond the scope of war and more aligned to the acts of a serial killer. This is what countries like Australia and the USA are supporting- genocide.’Primitive people one with guns the other without, in the name of Gods, fighting a weak fight in the name of Gods reveals the rotten beings we all are–and where we are all heading.” Hamas starting the fight first does not give any special rights for Isreal to defend their position beyond their initial attack.A dispute is not settled by genocide.Hamas did wrong by firing first; but did so for a reason and the numbers are in. Isreal on the other hand has defended itself- and yet the slaughter continues.

A LIKEABLE PRESIDENT XI
A LIKEABLE PRESIDENT XI
17 Nov 2023
President Xi Jinping is indeed a dictator ; unlike that of an emperor appointed by the senate in Ancient Rome. Italy turned out O.K! President Xi seems to me to be a ‘likeable fellow’ and at times a pragmatist. “I have never disliked President Xi, I simply disliked some of things he has done.” Sure President Xi has absolute power, the type of power which is more often than not used in an oppressive away and I’m sure, not many leaders are capable to manage a population of 1.4 billion people as he has done - for good or bad. I watched Presentient Xi and president Biden meet in America this week for talks which proved productive and yet all I heard I the last few days on how a shrimp brained journalist asked president Biden if President Xi is a dictator. The woke dumbness of western societies is hardly the platform to propagate the idea that ‘we are better than them ‘ because ‘they’ are controlled by a ‘Dictator’ especially a country like the USA that had voted in the dumbest President ever (Trump) who would like nothing better than to become a Dictator. So many western countries have their internal issues to contend with as they all promote the virtues of liberty, equity and freedom; virtues which are often only ‘fragments’ of a Government’s imagination. Does freewill really exist in any society? Some have also questioned Presidents Biden’s age and if such is affecting his presidency. President Biden has done his job admirably in very tough times; and what is his job? “To steer the ship away from the surf and spray,” to which he has done just that as demonstrated with the visit of President Xi this week. USA is the only “super superpower’ who could meet President Xi on equal terms, and that; President Xi is made of different cloth to Putin - who is also a dictator - the kind we simply don’t like; more akin to his mate “Kim.” We can only hope the USA and China continue with the dialogue and remain committed in respecting each other’s position and to world peace. The world needs China as China needs the world as well - to survive, let alone wage hostilities. FTNX will return trading with China in 2024 as we introduce our activities in a formal way all over China from mid 2024. With China in the market place, export import business will once more increase dramatically over the next few years.
