The tin-foil hat brigade already made it to the comments section, Asheron would be proud:The cities were built with the money printed by the Federal Reserve ( a Rothschild Company ) and they were meant as survival and New places to live after WW3 .
Indeed , the Chinese understand that the Bilderbergs will start a nuclear war with North Korea which will drag in China and even Russia and Europe .
So the Chinese are preparing : buying tremendous amounts of gold and ... building empty cities ( hence not worth nuking in the WW3 ) to be populated at the end of the war ( gwad knows they have tonnes of people to 'spare' ) .
This is another proof that the Elite is not too bright , but never the less , you and me will still be cannon fodder !0 -

It's such an excellent quote.
You've got this global elite that is preparing plans that must involve thousands if not millions of people in their planning and preparing their own deaths that has been kept completely secret except from a few people with cheap websites.
And what is more these people are 'not too bright'.
I used to work with a bloke that reckoned the moon was hollow and made out of pyramids and also that you could keep a tomato fresh under a pyramid for months or years. I brought a tomato into work and suggested he made a pyramid out of paper or some other substance of his choice. He decided against.0 -
The following photo has this comment:
Property bubble: Zhengzhou New District features vast public buildings that have never been used
It's an interesting article and everything, but you can clearly see lots of cars in car parks and hundreds of people milling around.
And on this one:In most neighbourhoods of Dantu, there are no cars, no signs of life
I can clearly see loads of cars on the road. These are cars aren't they?

All Command Economies produce nonsensical outcomes. Stalin's Russia was awash with left-shoes while millions starved.
NB This does, of course, highlight the insanity of Chris Huhne's madcap scheme to return Britain the the dark ages, quite literally, by bankrupting ourselves building 'green' windmills all the while the Chinese complete a coal/nuclear power station every few weeks.0 -

Interesting piece on the Cuban biotech industry last week on 'Thinking Aloud' presented by a (former?) revolutionary communist.
I wonder if the market system in Cuba would be pushing resources towards biotech or food production?

Well, there's a speedboat racing around the lake on the first picture and hundreds of cars in all the car parks and driving along the road in the second picture. So there's either people operating these things or the Chinese have automated robot boats.
There's also lots of people walking round the lake, at least I'm sure that's what they are.0 -
