Rare Exports Quotes

With Hamas now in control of the Gaza Strip, Israel imposed a full-blown siege. Goods entering the strip were reduced to a bare minimum; regular exports were stopped completely; fuel supplies were cut; and leaving and entering Gaza were only rarely permitted. Gaza was in effect turned into an open-air prison, where by 2018 at least 53 percent of some two million Palestinians lived in a state of poverty,24 and unemployment stood at an astonishing 52 percent, with much higher rates for youth and women.25 What had begun with international refusal to recognize Hamas’s election victory had led to a disastrous Palestinian rupture and the blockade of Gaza. This sequence of events amounted to a new declaration of war on the Palestinians. It also provided indispensable international cover for the open warfare that was to come.

Look.” I pointed. “Shin-Tethys as a whole maintains a positive trade surplus with the rest of the system. A third of the local nations don’t export directly, but there’s a lot of internal, intramural trade between the tribes—the main six exporters account for eighty-two percent of the uranium and fifty-seven percent of the rare earths. What comes in is, well, lots of skilled labor, finished high-tech assemblies, anything that needs microgravity or vacuum or very high temperatures or an anaerobic environment. In other words, it’s your typical pattern for an energy-exporting planet, with the added twist that because it’s very damp, a lot of planetary surface activities—smelting metals, manufacturing ceramics—are expensive to perform locally. The only interesting thing is how little slow money is going into their economic system. As for banking corruption, there’s the usual, but no more than the usual. Around one government per decade—out of nearly five hundred, mind—gets into bad trouble one way or another. But the system is self-stabilizing: What usually happens is that a consortium of their trading partners and main creditors get together and mount a hostile takeover—I believe they call it a “war”—and place the defaulter under administration until it digs itself out of the hole.

Cohn had put another document, “U.S. Record in WTO Disputes,” in the daily book that Porter compiled for the president at night. But Trump rarely if ever cracked it open. “The World Trade Organization is the worst organization ever created!” Trump said. “We lose more cases than anything.” “This is in your book, sir,” Cohn said, and brought out another copy. The document showed that the United States won 85.7 percent of its WTO cases, more than average. “The United States has won trade disputes against China on unfair extra duties on U.S. poultry, steel and autos, as well as unfair export restraints on raw materials and rare earth minerals. The United States has also used the dispute settlements system to force China to drop subsidies in numerous sectors.” “This is bullshit,” Trump replied. “This is wrong.” “This is not wrong. This is data from the United States trade representative. Call Lighthizer and see if he agrees.” “I’m not calling Lighthizer,” Trump said. “Well,” Cohn said, “I’ll call Lighthizer. This is the factual data. There’s no one that’s going to disagree with this data.” Then he added, “Data is data.

Overnight, however, he apparently had second thoughts, or did some textbook reading on his own, and at the next meeting he turned to me as the first order of business. “On the black paint,” he said, “you were right about the advantages and I was wrong.” He handed me a quarter. It was a rare win. So Kelly approved my idea of painting the airplane black, and by the time our first prototype rolled out the airplane became known as the Blackbird. Our supplier, Titanium Metals Corporation, had only limited reserves of the precious alloy, so the CIA conducted a worldwide search and, using third parties and dummy companies, managed to unobtrusively purchase the base metal from one of the world’s leading exporters—the Soviet Union. The Russians never had an inkling of how they were actually contributing to the creation of the airplane being rushed into construction to spy on their homeland.

Ethnic pandering may improve the political lot of statist politicians looking for electoral advantage, it may serve the interests of self-appointed leaders of ethnic groups promoting balkanization and demographic advantage, and it may help incompetent foreign governments that prefer exporting their next generation to the United States rather than reforming their regimes and economic systems, but it certainly is not pursued in the best interests of America’s children and future generations, whose well-being is rarely considered in the making of these decisions.

Battle: "[A battle is] a method of untying with the teeth a political knot that would not yield to the tongue." — Ambrose Bierce Battlefied results, diplomacy and: "Diplomacy has rarely been able to gain at the conference table what cannot be gained or held on the battlefield." — Walter Bedell Smith, 1954 Blockade: The use by a state or coalition of military force to prevent imports or exports from the territory of another state or coalition, a measure just short of war that leaves the actual initiation of hostilities to the decision of those being blockaded. Bluffing: Avoid deadlines and ultimata unless you mean them. Otherwise, the other side may use them against you. Blunders, bureaucratic: "In ninety-nine cases out of a hundred, when there is a quarrel between two states, it is generaly occasioned by some blunder of a ministry." — Benjamin Disraeli, 1858 Blunders, diplomatic: "Our diplomats plunge us forever into misfortune; our generals always save us." — Otto von Bismarck, c. 1850

A similar vicious circle perpetuated the racial hierarchy in modern America. From the sixteenth to the eighteenth century, the European conquerors imported millions of African slaves to work the mines and plantations of America. They chose to import slaves from Africa rather than from Europe or East Asia due to three circumstantial factors. Firstly, Africa was closer, so it was cheaper to import slaves from Senegal than from Vietnam. Secondly, in Africa there already existed a well-developed slave trade (exporting slaves mainly to the Middle East), whereas in Europe slavery was very rare. It was obviously far easier to buy slaves in an existing market than to create a new one from scratch. Thirdly, and most importantly, American plantations in places such as Virginia, Haiti and Brazil were plagued by malaria and yellow fever, which had originated in Africa. Africans had acquired over the generations a partial genetic immunity to these diseases, whereas Europeans were totally defenceless and died in droves. It was consequently wiser for a plantation owner to invest his money in an African slave than in a European slave or indentured labourer. Paradoxically, genetic superiority (in terms of immunity) translated into social inferiority: precisely because Africans were fitter in tropical climates than Europeans, they ended up as the slaves of European masters! Due to these circumstantial factors, the burgeoning new societies of America were to be divided into a ruling caste of white Europeans and a subjugated caste of black Africans.

There is no doubt that global awareness of the occupation has soared, and that this has been partly assisted by the raw, unedited vision of Palestinians interacting with settlers or the Israeli army. Yet there is also a large body of evidence that hard, visual imagery has been co-opted by the Israeli state to deny the reality of what Palestinians say they are experiencing. The Israelis claim that Palestinians are lying about their circumstances despite what we’re all seeing. Being able to see Israeli atrocities against Palestinians doesn’t work with people who do not view Palestinians as human beings, a racial group who deserve punishment and death. As the Israeli population has moved to the right, moral discomfort is rare.

This post-Oslo confinement was most constricting in the Gaza Strip. In the decades following 1993, the strip was cut off from the rest of the world in stages, encircled by troops on land and the Israeli navy by sea.3 Entering and leaving required rarely issued permits and became possible only through massive fortified checkpoints resembling human cattle pens, while arbitrary Israeli closures frequently interrupted the shipment of goods in and out of the strip. The economic results of what was in effect a siege of the Gaza Strip were particularly damaging. Most Gazans depended on work in Israel or on exporting goods. With stringent restrictions on doing both, economic life underwent a slow strangulation.

I noticed that they rarely mentioned that German and French banks were some of Greece’s biggest lenders, or that much of the Greeks’ accumulated debt had been racked up buying German and French exports—facts that might have made clear to voters why saving the Greeks from default amounted to saving their own banks and industries. Maybe they worried that such an admission would turn voter attention away from the failures of successive Greek governments and toward the failures of those German and French officials charged with supervising bank lending practices. Or maybe they feared that if their voters fully understood the underlying implications of European integration—the extent to which their economic fates, for good and for ill, had become bound up with those of people who were “not like us”—they might not find it entirely to their liking.

A rare moment of Israeli political honesty came in October 2021 when far-right Israeli parliamentarian Bezalel Smotrich, leader of the Religious Zionist Party and ally of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, said in the Knesset to the Arab members, “You’re only here by mistake, because [founding prime minister David] Ben-Gurion didn’t finish the job, didn’t throw you out in ’48.” It was an acknowledgment that ethnic cleansing took place in 1948, albeit delivered by one of the most racist and homophobic Israeli politicians.

The influence of the langues d’oc and d’oïl produced a situation in which French had started exporting itself even before it had become a fully developed language with a coherent writing system. Between the tenth and fifteenth centuries, Romance impressed itself on Europe as the language of worldly business, helping to relegate Latin to the religious sphere, although the latter did remain a language of science and philosophy for many more centuries. In the Mediterranean region, fishermen, sailors and merchants used a rudimentary version of langue d’oc mixed with Italian that people called the lingua franca (“Frankish language”), and over time this spoken language soaked up influences from Italian, Spanish and Turkish. (Today a lingua franca is any common language used in economics, diplomacy or science, in a context where it is not a mother tongue.) The Mediterranean lingua franca never evolved into anyone’s mother tongue, which is why there are very few written traces of it. A rare rendition of it appears in a seventeenth-century comedy by the French playwright Molière, who had been a wandering actor before he entered Louis XIV’s Court. In his Le bourgeois gentilhomme (The Would-Be Gentleman), Molière creates the character of a fake Turk who speaks in lingua franca (for obvious comical effect): Se ti sabir, / Ti respondir; se non sabir, / Tazir, Tazir. Mi star Mufti / Ti qui star ti? Non intendir, / Tazir, tazir. If you know, / you must respond. If you don’t know, / you must shut up. I am the Mufti, / who are you? I don’t understand; / shut up, shut up.2 It was the Crusades, which were dominated by the French, that turned lingua franca into the dominant language in the Mediterranean. More than half a dozen Crusades were carried out over nearly three centuries. Many Germans and English also participated, but the Arabs uniformly referred to the Crusaders as Franj, caring little whether they said oc, oïl, ja or yes. Interestingly, Arabic, the language of the common enemy, gave French roughly a thousand terms, including amiral (admiral), alcool (alcohol), coton (cotton) and sirop (syrup). The great prevalence of Arabic words in French scientific language—terms such as algèbre (algebra), alchimie (alchemy) and zéro (zero)—underlines the fact that the Arabs were definitely at the cutting edge of knowledge at the time.

When the Europeans conquered America, they opened gold and silver mines and established sugar, tobacco and cotton plantations. These mines and plantations became the mainstay of American production and export. The sugar plantations were particularly important. In the Middle Ages, sugar was a rare luxury in Europe. It was imported from the Middle East at prohibitive prices and used sparingly as a secret ingredient in delicacies and snake-oil medicines. After large sugar plantations were established in America, ever-increasing amounts of sugar began to reach Europe. The price of sugar dropped and Europe developed an insatiable sweet tooth. Entrepreneurs met this need by producing huge quantities of sweets: cakes, cookies, chocolate, candy, and sweetened beverages such as cocoa, coffee and tea. The annual sugar intake of the average Englishman rose from near zero in the early seventeenth century to around eight kilograms in the early nineteenth century. However, growing cane and extracting its sugar was a labour-intensive business. Few people wanted to work long hours in malaria-infested sugar fields under a tropical sun. Contract labourers would have produced a commodity too expensive for mass consumption. Sensitive to market forces, and greedy for profits and economic growth, European plantation owners switched to slaves.

An exercise in illusion via allusion. Wear it and after a few hours you will find your daily life suffused by the same feeling of peace you get when you settle into an armchair after tidying your apartment from end to end. If you think of all the best Chanel fragrances as varieties of little black dress - sleek, dependable, perfectly proportioned - Bois des iles is the one in cashmere. I have worn it on and off for years, whenever I felt I needed extra insulation from the cold world. To my nose Chinatown ( Bond No. 9 ) smells like a corner of a small French grocery in summer, in the exact spot where the smell of floor wax meets that of ripe peaches. Lignin, the stuff that prevents all trees from adopting the weeping habit, is a polymer made up of units that are closely related to vanillin. When made into paper and stored for years, it breaks down and smells good. Which is how divine providence has arranged for secondhand bookstores to smell like good quality vanilla absolute, subliminally stoking a hunger for knowledge in all of us. Perfume is, among other things, the most portable form of intelligence. Oman was making perfumes when Europeans only bathed once a year on doctor's orders. Chanel No. 5 is a Brancusi. The beauty and fragrance industry has lied to women for so long, convincing us to fork over cash for crud in shiny packages, that at this point event pure quality has trouble getting taken seriously. Clever marketing can get us to buy something once, but rarely again. We don't wear Chanel No. 5 because Marilyn Monroe wore it, we wear it for the same reason that Marilyn did: because it''s gorgeous. Sycomore, Chanel. If putting it on does not make you shiver with pleasure, see a doctor. Aside from beautiful aircraft, nuclear power stations, food and wine, perfumery is France's biggest export, yet there is no perfume museum in Paris. The ability possessed by certain fragrances to briefly turn the most arid mind into a fairy garden, to make us lament the passing of loves and losses we know full well we never had, is a miracle specific to perfumery.

In the twenty-first century, one state is in the process of dominating the export and consumption of rare metals. That state is China.

This book is about a phenomenon—pervasive outside the West yet rarely acknowledged, indeed often viewed as taboo—that turns free market democracy into an engine of ethnic conflagration. The phenomenon I refer to is that of market-dominant minorities: ethnic minorities who, for widely varying reasons, tend under market conditions to dominate economically, often to a startling extent, the “indigenous” majorities around them. … Lebanese are a market-dominant minority in West Africa. Ibo are a market-dominant minority in Nigeria. Croats were a market-dominant minority in the former Yugoslavia. And Jews are almost certainly a market-dominant minority in post-Communist Russia

We would get those insights a lot of the time by visiting customers, which is the best. Because we want to see their of office, who sits next to them, if they’re in a cubicle, what’s in their cubicle, what do they have printed out that’s hung on the wall, what does their browser look like, what are their favorites, what’s on their desktop? You just really want to understand, as a researcher, what are they doing? What does their day look like? And the reason why I care so much about that is because rarely do you get that information when you ask someone a pointed question about features or functions or things that they need. A lot of the times we found that the information we were getting when we asked customers directly was kind of aspirational: It was things that they thought that they wanted or that they dreamed of, but when we looked at what they actually did each day, in most cases it had zero overlap. So we learned way more by having those interviews and watching what they were doing, and seeing their daily practice, and seeing how they had to go through ve different apps to do something, or download something into Excel. Excel was gold for us. It’s always been for me, building the kind software that I do. As soon as I see a customer or prospect use Excel, I know we’re onto something. That’s where they’re doing something that we can help them do more efficiently. But it’s something that almost no customer is going to tell you about. Because it’s so boring to tell someone that: “I download this, I export this, I put it in Excel, and I sort it this way, and I do that, then I put it here, then I do this, then I re-upload it here, then I put it in PowerPoint ...

Why can't I withdraw my money from Gemini? {~Gemini Query~} The very specific and sinking feeling that [1-833-611-5006] arises when you attempt to withdraw your own capital and are met with a sudden, unmovable barrier is a unique form of modern-day frustration. It is a truly jarring [1-833-611-5006] and confusing moment in which the digital world, a place that is [1-833-611-5006] typically so fluid and so immediately responsive, transforms into a frustrating and an impenetrable wall. This particular experience, when it happens on a platform like Gemini, can be profoundly and deeply unsettling for any user. You might [1-833-611-5006] feel an immediate and quite powerful surge of alarm, and a whole cascade of [1-833-611-5006] worrisome questions may instantly begin flooding your mind regarding the fundamental safety and the present accessibility of your assets. This is a completely [1-833-611-5006] normal and entirely understandable reaction, but it is one that must be tempered with the vital understanding that your Gemini account operates like an inventory in [1-833-611-5006] a complex online game. The problem you are facing is rarely a glitch. The inability to "export" your items is almost always because a specific "game rule" [1-833-611-5006] is in effect, a rule designed for security and fairness. To truly understand why this is happening, one must look past the immediate [1-833-611-5006] feeling of frustration and instead read the game's rulebook. This is not just any [1-833-611-5006] simple situation; it involves completing tutorial quests, waiting for items to become "unbound," and passing checks from the Game Masters. Every single [1-833-611-5006] rule, every single timer, and indeed every single hold you might encounter is a direct reflection of these game mechanics, a process which ensures [1-833-611-5006] a fair and secure environment for all players. The Tutorial Quest: Identity Verification One of the most [1-833-611-5006] frequent, and yet most fundamental, reasons for a withdrawal block is an incomplete "tutorial quest," which is the KYC identity verification. [1-833-611-5006] Before you can unlock advanced features like exporting valuable items from the game world to the real world, you must first prove your identity to the game developers. [1-833-611-5006] This can create a hard stop for new players, and the mechanical reality functioning behind the scenes is one of regulatory compliance. The real-world [1-833-611-5006] financial laws require Gemini to know its players. This journey for your account therefore begins, a long [1-833-611-5006] and procedural quest of submitting your ID to link your game profile to your real-world identity. This entire [1-833-611-5006] complex process is mandatory. It is absolutely [1-833-611-5006] vital that one remembers that if this quest is not fully completed and approved, the "export item" button will remain grayed out. [1-833-611-5006] During this time, you can still play the game and trade items internally. [1-833-611-5006] You must simply complete this one-time quest. [1-833-611-5006] This is a critical security measure, an important action that prevents anonymous players from exploiting the game's economy. [1-833-611-5006] You can find the status of your tutorial quest in your account settings, an action that offers a clear and a very predictable view of your progress.

Buy Old Twitter Accounts Safely in 2025–2026 Buy Old Twitter Accounts? Learn legal, risk‑free alternatives—business transfers, partnerships, and paid promotion to gain an aged presence safely. Need help or to confirm your order? Contact us: WhatsApp: ‪+1 (227) 236-9368‬ Telegram: @usaservicepoint Email: usaservicepoint@gmail.com Why Buy Old Twitter Accounts? Many businesses and creators wonder whether to Buy Old Twitter Accounts because an aged profile can look like instant credibility: older usernames, historical tweets, and an established follower base seem to shortcut the slow grind of organic growth. That appeal is understandable — social proof matters and time‑worn accounts can make a brand seem more established at first glance. But it’s important to separate desire from reality. Rather than presenting “buying” as a recommended tactic, smart operators use the idea as inspiration: what they really want are the benefits associated with aged profiles — trust, continuity, and a ready audience. You can capture those benefits legally by acquiring an entire business (with social assets documented in a sale), arranging long‑term collaborations or takeovers with existing account owners, or investing in verified paid promotion and influencer partnerships. Frame the goal as acquiring credibility, not circumventing platform rules. Factors to Consider When Buying Old Twitter Accounts When people search “Buy Old Twitter Accounts” they’re often trying to solve one problem: how to reach an audience quickly. If you’re evaluating alternatives to an outright purchase, consider three core factors: provenance, authenticity, and transferability. Provenance means documented proof the account was legitimately created and managed by the seller; authenticity covers follower quality and engagement (are followers real people or bots?); transferability addresses whether the account can legally move to new ownership as part of a business sale. Other considerations include the account’s policy history, any prior strikes or suspensions, and whether analytics can be exported for due diligence. Importantly, proper legal counsel and escrow arrangements are essential if social profiles are part of an asset sale. These careful, professional checks protect buyers from surprise freezes, fraud, or reputational harm and are the responsible alternative to informal marketplace purchases. Benefits of Buying Old Twitter Accounts People search “Buy Old Twitter Accounts” because they chase clear business benefits: perceived credibility, historical content that can be leveraged for storytelling, and a potentially faster route to follower growth. When those benefits are acquired through legitimate, documented methods—such as purchasing a business that includes social assets, formal partnerships, or paid promotional campaigns—the upside is real. An established account with authentic engagement can improve conversion by signaling trust, reduce customer friction at checkout, and serve as an archive of brand voice and intellectual property. In legal acquisitions, these assets also come with verifiable analytics that inform marketing strategy and ROI. The key is to obtain those benefits ethically and transparently, which preserves brand integrity and ensures long‑term value. Conclusion The dream of buying instant social credibility leads many to wonder whether to Buy Old Twitter Accounts, but short‑cuts are rarely worth the long‑term risk. Platforms, customers, and search engines all reward authenticity and transparent ownership. If your objective is the same as an aged account—trust, reach, and engagement—pursue documented business acquisitions, partnerships, influencer collaborations, or verified paid acquisition instead. These routes deliver comparable benefits without violating terms of service. Need help or to confirm your order?
