Wednesday. Receptionist still out. One tech out for second day, one tech out in the afternoon for doctors' appointments. Lots of calls about where door orders are.
Steve's got the gun range tonight. I should work on my found objects projects but I think I may just read tonight.
I'm at 53% on the PLANETSIDE book. I'm at 31% on the David Weber book. I think I may also do the yearly goal of reading one nonfiction book a month again. I will be starting Peter Schweizer's newest book, RED-HANDED: How American Elites Get Rich Helping China Win.
Peter
Schweizer says that, in a quarter-century as an investigative
journalist, this is the scariest investigation he has ever conducted. That
the Chinese government seeks to infiltrate American institutions is
hardly surprising. What is wholly new, however, are the number of
American elites who are eager to help the Chinese dictatorship in its
quest for global hegemony. Presidential families, Silicon
Valley gurus, Wall Street high rollers, Ivy League universities, even
professional athletes—all willing to sacrifice American strength and
security on the altar of personal enrichment.In Red-Handed, six-time New York Times
bestselling investigator Peter Schweizer presents his most alarming
findings to date by revealing the secret deals wealthy Americans have
cut to help China build its military, technological, and economic
might. Equally as astonishing, many of these elites quietly believe the
Chinese dictatorial regime is superior to American democracy. Schweizer
and his team of forensic investigators spent over a year scouring a
massive trove of global corporate records and legal filings to expose
the hidden transactions China’s enablers hoped would never see the light
of day. And as Schweizer’s past bombshells like Profiles in Corruption, Secret Empires, and Clinton Cash all made clear, there are bad actors on both ends of the political spectrum. Exhaustively researched, crisply told, and chilling, Red-Handed will expose the nexus of power between the Chinese government and the American elites who do its bidding.
Published 2022; 348 pages. It came out yesterday. His investigative skills are spot on.
Have a good day
Much love,
