Triffin Dilemma Switcheroo

 Exiting The Turnpike,


​  Wikipedia:  The Triffin dilemma (sometimes the Triffin paradox) is the conflict of economic interests that arises between short-term domestic and long-term international objectives for countries whose currencies serve as global reserve currencies. This dilemma was identified in the 1960s by Belgian-American economist Robert Triffin. He noted that a country whose currency is the global reserve currency, held by other nations as foreign exchange (FX) reserves to support international trade, must somehow supply the world with its currency in order to fulfill world demand for these FX reserves. This supply function is nominally accomplished by international trade, with the country holding reserve currency status being required to run an inevitable trade deficit.[1] After going off of the gold standard in 1971 and setting up the petrodollar system later in the 1970s, the United States accepted the burden of such an ongoing trade deficit in 1985 with its permanent transformation from a creditor to a debtor nation.[2] The U.S. goods trade deficit is currently on the order of one trillion dollars per year.​   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triffin_dilemma

​  The US was an industrialized net-exporting country which had accumulated 80% of global central-banking gold reserves by the end of WW-2, when the Bretton Woods agreement placed the $US, fully backed by gold, as the global reserve currency for trade and international finance.
  The Vietnam War caused an outflow of US gold, though trade was otherwise balanced, according to Michael Hudson's analysis. Nixon had to default on gold, and Hudson's "Petrodollar" scheme from his book "Super Imperialism" was instituted as US policy, and formalized with Saudi Arabia under Nixon/Kissinger.
  With the 1973 Arab Oil Embargo, oil prices rose high enough to curb economic growth and cause stagflation. This was combatted monetarily by the raising of US Treasury interest rates to 20% in 1981, making real returns on $US debt secure, but ruining US industrial investment, which could not pay those rates. From that point, the $US value was supported by interest payments and Saudi oil, not exports.
  American industrial production became hollowed-out in a sequence of steps which let American industry languish, raised costs of US labor, and exported American industry to countries with low labor and environmental costs, while shipping became bigger and cheaper, and globalists took profits from imports and exports.
  China followed the steps of Germany and Japan after WW-2, adopting Henry Clay’s American System – a blueprint for national strength and self-sufficiency. Developed in the early 19th century, Clay’s vision centered on protective tariffs, a strong national banking system, infrastructure development, and the responsible use of natural resources.   https://realclearwire.com/articles/2025/04/03/trump_and_our_return_to_the_american_system_152594.html
  What Trump is doing openly with his global tariff-shock is to force widespread adjustment to a world where the US again becomes a net industrial exporter, using this system. He says the $US needs to remain as global reserve currency, but that would only be a transitional position. Already Bitcoin and gold are being elevated in status at the US Treasury, with informed speculation that Bitcoin will be blown in a big bubble, using US gold and $US to pump it up, then making a payoff of US debt with Bitcoin, and likely moving global reserve status to some mixed basket, mutually agreed by major powers.
  The composite-rumor is basically that Team-Trump is kneecapping all political and financial opponents, especially European globalist-finance, to bring on a global recession with them in a crippled position, and forcing the endo of globalism's game, which has been to take profits from cheap trade. Those profits will be taken by national tariffs, cutting out global financial skim. 
  Global financial skim has paid a lot of bribes and inducements for a long time, so it is hard to combat, which is why the DOGE computer-forensic-auditing and cuts to funds have been enacted. The payouts of bribes are interrupted in the US and globally, notably by eliminating USAID.
  The global recession will be used to stop inflation, which will force the Federal Reserve to cut rates on 10 year Treasury debt. Janet Yellen refinanced a LOT of US debt in 1-2 year debt, much of which comes due this year. Trump needs enough recession to knock the interest rate down under 3%, better under 2.5%, from the current effective rate of 4% in secondary markets. This is part of balancing the federal budget, which is important going forward as a non-reserve-currency country with an export-based economy.
  Another piece of Henry Clay's system is to rebuild American infrastructure, including essential services, taking those costs onto the state, taking them off employers, so exports can be more competitive globally. This mixed-economy is nothing new, and it removes rentier-profit drag upon the real economy, which is the goal of classical economics. We have yet to see the plans for those changes.


  Francis Leader and Johnny Vedmore,  EDGE FOUNDATION,  Funded by Epstein to teach Technobrats how to become billionaires
Epstein is so much more influential than anyone guesses. 
  He funded the organisation which trained the technobrats, Musk, Thiel, Besos, Zuckerberg.
Elon Musk’s Training in Psychological Manipulation Funded by Epstein
  The psychological manipulation of the masses via various intelligence-linked programs is well-documented. The officially sanctioned, government-led programming of the general population is not a conspiracy theory, it has become accepted by many as a mainstream method to enact control. Such abhorrent and underhand manipulation used to be resigned to the realm of secretive and subversive intelligence programs or campaigns run by major PR companies, but that changed abruptly once Richard Thaler and Cass Sunstein took their brand of behavioural economics on the road.
  It was the Democratic Party under Barack Obama that first welcomed the creators of what were eventually termed “nudge units” into the White House. This led to government-attached units set up to subtly “nudge” people into changing their behaviour on behalf of those who wish to control the future direction of society. In the United Kingdom, Richard Thaler also found a friend in David Cameron and his Conservative Party administration, and they soon created what was termed the behavioural insight unit in the United Kingdom.
  The British Governments during this period were already ahead of Thaler in many regards. In 2004, Tony Blair’s New Labour produced a paper entitled: “Personal Responsibility and Changing Behaviour: the state of knowledge and its implications for public policy”. Within this fascinating example of the Government overstepping what may be considered appropriate to the electorate, part of the paper “reviews the growing body of knowledge about alternative, and perhaps more subtle, ways in which government might affect personal behaviour.” The paper concludes that the use of behavioural change would be positive for government policy, stating:
  “Looking to the future there is an evident need to strengthen our theoretical and empirical understanding of what drives behaviour and behavioural change. Just as important will be the wider testing out of policy tools to develop a more sophisticated toolkit for policy-makers. Policy should not simply proclaim personal responsibility or blame, but needs to be shaped around the ways in which people actually think and feel, and the social and psychological forces that influence behaviour.” ...
 ..After Richard Thaler, described as “the father of behavioural economics”, published his book in 2008, entitled: “Nudge: Improving Decisions About Health, Wealth, and Happiness”, those who wanted to manipulate people’s behaviour began to flock to him...
..Brockman and Epstein saw many benefits in Thaler’s teachings. They had certain aspects of total technological control covered; they had the ear of many world leaders, they had introduced the Third Way politics of the future into the public arena, with its creator Anthony Giddens also being involved in Edge; but they were yet to figure out how to manufacture the consent of the voting population efficiently...  Behavioural economics was the Establishment’s best hope for achieving change amongst regular people, most importantly, without those targeted realising how or why they were being manipulated...
..The second part of the Edge Master Class saw only eight Edge members in attendance: Jeff Bezos, Nathan Myhrvold, Salar Kamangar, Daniel Kahneman, Danny Hilis, Paul Romer, Elon Musk and Sean Parker, while the third part also saw George Dyson and France LeClerc join the group. This wasn’t a random group of thinkers, these were some of the most powerful movers and shakers in the digital world. This Edge event saw the leading experts of behavioural economics training the very top echelons of Google, Amazon, YouTube, Space X, Intellectual Ventures, Facebook and Peter Thiel’s Founder Fund... The attendees of this Edge Master Class would soon become the most powerful people in the world... 
..The third Jeffrey Epstein-funded Master Class in the series which Elon Musk attended was entitled: “The Psychology of Scarcity”, and it begins with a Sendhil Mullainathan quote that suggested they were imagining how to benefit from an impoverished population, stating:
  Let’s put aside poverty alleviation for a second, and let’s ask, “Is there something intrinsic to poverty that has value and that is worth studying in and of itself?” One of the reasons that is the case is that, purely aside from magic bullets, we need to understand are there unifying principles under conditions of scarcity that can help us understand behavior and to craft intervention. If we feel that conditions of scarcity evoke certain psychology, then that, not to mention pure scientific interest, will affect a vast majority of interventions. It’s an important and old question.”...     
..The development of X is fundamentally a prescient step towards what Musk perceives as an inevitable new paradigm. The psychological manipulation of the public via powerful social media platforms won’t only be used to reap potential economic benefits for those in control of sites like X, Facebook, or Google, they will be used by the government to sway popular opinion, too... The more information they have about you, the more they can design their “nudges” to best sway your behaviour, whether you want them to or not. And that is the crux of behavioural economicsthe more information they have about you, the easier it is to manipulate you into making certain decisions... 
..Thaler and Sunstein referred to their branch of psychology as “libertarian paternalism” and they saw the desire to nudge as a natural part of a capitalist system...
..At the moment, we are providing major companies with masses of our personal information daily and, in return, they are profiling us in more ways than one. That mass of data we supply to these companies allows them to control almost every action we take without us even realising it’s happening. The next step is (was) for Artificial Intelligence to be programmed to systemise this mechanism further until the vast majority of our decisions are controlled by our personal devices...
.. The term “psyops” is being rebranded as “nudging” ...
..What we’re currently seeing is an attempt to create a Third Culture of sorts. There may be no better example of an effort to synthesise social science and formal science than technocrats like Elon Musk and J.D. Vance taking control of the levers of political power...
..Third Way politics pushes perpetual warfare, austerity and poverty upon us, nudging us into the arms of an unforgiving and unethical form of governance. In the future, the technocrats will be in charge whether you like it or not. They will be the chosen few who will program the algorithms that drive every part of our society...
..It is not only individuals conspiring together at Edge, it’s Google, YouTube, Amazon, Twitter/X, Thiel’s Founders Fund, Facebook, Tesla, and Space X. It was these giant corporations which were central to figuring out something very fundamental: How to control the population during the digital age.   https://francesleader.substack.com/p/edge-foundation

​  The American return to a production-based economy implies dropping the value of the $US, which has been held up by the ability to make actual profits on the stock market and US Treasury debt. Those profits will not be guarantied going forward, as the $US value needs to fall to make exports competitive. IF US stock markets all fall 50% from current values they will reach the March-April 2020 COVID-Lockdown lows, which is probably a good initial reset point.  The End Of Globalization   https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/end-globalization

​  “With terrorism eventually we will see mass killings in Europe. Your friends, your families, they will all be at risk.

​  “There are 8 billion people in the world. If a small percentage of the rest of the world arrives in a country of 50 million, it transforms it into a different country,” Musk explained.
“A country is not a geography but the people who inhabit it. This is a fundamental concept, which should be obvious,” he added.

Recognizing Moscow’s new territories would be “horrible,” a senior Polish official has said
​  In an interview with Financial Times on Sunday, Pawel Kowal, an adviser to Prime Minister Donald Tusk on Ukraine and the head of Poland’s parliamentary foreign affairs committee, said that while “provisional solutions” to halt the fighting might be acceptable, the fulfillment of “Russian expectations to recognize Crimea, Donbas or other parts of Ukraine… would be a historical mistake.”
​  Crimea overwhelmingly voted to join Russia in 2014 in a public referendum following a Western-backed coup in Kiev. Donetsk, Lugansk, Zaporozhye, and Kherson Regions followed suit in 2022.
​  According to Kowal, should Trump recognize those territories as part of Russia, it would cross a “red line” for Warsaw and its neighbors.​

​  View from Poland: American soldiers died because they were drunk
​  Initially, both the American and Lithuanian commanders presented the incident as a tragic coincidence, suggesting that the swamp was not marked on the map the soldiers had. However, according to reliable inside sources, the truth is much more gruesome. The crew of the vehicle was intoxicated during the exercise, which is confirmed by eyewitness testimony and preliminary findings of investigators.
​  The soldiers failed to notice the warning signs that should have warned of the danger zone. When the M88 began to sink, the crew did not realize the situation in time and did not carry out an evacuation that could have saved their lives.
​  It was established that the swamp where the M88 fell was not only clearly marked on all available maps, both military and civilian, but also had special warning signs on the ground that were visible even in difficult weather conditions.
​  Moreover, conversations with American soldiers at the training ground indicate that before each exercise, an additional survey of the area is conducted, and any changes, such as new wetlands or obstacles, are marked on the available maps.
​  The incident with the M88 is not an isolated case when it comes to alcohol-related problems among American soldiers.​

  Simplicius,  Hint of Spring as Russian Pressure Rises on Every Front
It’s clear that little by little the inevitable acceptance of Russia’s full demands is being digested.
​  But what’s particularly fascinating—and egregious—to observe about the above, is the suggestion that “evacuating millions of civilians”, particularly after many of them were allegedly ‘tortured and murdered’, is something so unthinkable, that it beggars the contemporary imagination, and should definitely be resisted by the moral forces of the world. After all, there is simply no place on earth we could even conceive of where millions of people are currently under similar threat of both mass genocide and forced displacement.   The highly principled Western press would certainly apprise us of such an obvious parallel, bringing to light the stupendous hypocrisy thereof, were it to exist somewhere on this small rock, no?
​  And this highly righteous press would unquestionably condemn the mirroring tragedy—if such a hypothetical one existed—with the same pharisaical outrage as exhibited here, right?​

  Yemeni Missiles Hit US Warships! Middle East on Edge!
   Pepe Escobar talks with Nima about Yemen disabling the carrier-based command, control and surveillance AWACS plane of the USS Truman battle group, an A2 Hawkeye, and the reduced activity of the group in the past few days. The USS Carl Vinson carrier battle group is now going to join it off the Yemeni coast. 
  Escobar had a week or so in Yemen, as above, with high and mid-level meetings. Yemen has been under attack for 10 years and is taking it in stride, sustained by spiritual morality, which would be destroyed by flinching, so they remain resolute and positive, despite 20 bombings per day, mainly on residential areas, because the US does not have good intelligence on the ground
  He takes the stance that the US may actually be gearing up to obliterate Yemen, not Iran, which would still serve Zionist interests well, further isolating Iran by destroying Iran's last intact ally in the Axis of Resistance. This is a very real concern for him. 
  Escobar disparages the clownlike-team-Trump, which I see as analytical weakness. Team Trump is inscrutable in some ways, but wholeheartedly pushing Israeli Zionist agendas now.  He thinks Trump is trying to clear the deck in Ukraine so that he can enact Israel's "final solution", which is what Trump seems to be doing, and which may be the case.
  He makes a strong point about Iran declaring that a major US attack would "force it to do what it does not wish to do", make and use nuclear weapons.
(I have seen analysis that Iran would likely use such a weapon as an EMP device about 30 miles above the Israeli-Palestinian coast, to knock out Israel's electric grid. My own understanding is that Lebanon, Jordan, Syria and Egypt could not really be spared from that attack.)   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iukLgeNRApU

​  Gail Tverberg's prescient analysis from December 4, 2024, the last days of "Biden":  The world economy needs to simplify
Economic growth and added complexity sound like they would be good, but at some point, the combination gets to be too much–simplification is needed.
​  Too much of the world’s income starts going to non-working individuals and to high-earning workers in privileged fields. Ordinary working citizens start to say, “Wait a minute, there is not enough left for my everyday expenses. The system needs to change.” Elections lead to the selection of politicians who want war, or who want to overturn the current system. The system then changes in a way that leads to less spending on healthcare and other complexities.
​  In this post, I will try to explain a bit of the underlying problem and give some hints at what the simplification might look like. Part of the problem is too little energy supply. This is a problem that cannot be told to the public; it would be too distressing. In this post, I present the result of a recent academic study that has attempted to recalibrate the findings of the 1972 Limits to Growth study with updated data.​..
​..Uranium is in short supply, as well. The issue for uranium is that the world’s supply of nuclear warheads that could temporarily serve as a supplement to currently mined uranium is running short. These warheads belonged primarily to the US and to Russia, but Russia has sold a substantial amount of its warheads to the US, to be down-blended for use in nuclear power reactors.​..
..Without enough energy resources per person, the world will likely need to produce fewer goods and services in total. Some uses for energy products, and for the goods and services that can be made with energy products, need to disappear...
..The self-organizing economy tends to push the world in the direction of contraction. How this will work is not at all clear. Most people didn’t understand the response to Covid-19 as a way to cut back oil consumption. It is possible that future changes will, to some extent, come from cutbacks directed by government organizations that are as difficult to understand as the Covid-19 restrictions.​..
..The book The Limits to Growth, published in 1972, modeled when world resources would run short, relative to growing world population...​ The original 1972 analysis, in its base model, suggested that resources would start to run short about now. An article called, “Recalibration of limits to growth: An update of the World3 model” by Arjuna Nebel and others was published earlier this year in the Journal of Industrial Ecology. ​ https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/jiec.13442  The summary exhibit of their findings is shown here as Figure 8.​     

  On Figure 8, Recalibration23 is the name given to the new model output. The BAU dotted line shows the indications from the base (business as usual) 1972 model. I found the coloring a little confusing, so I added the labels “Industrial Output” and “Population” to better mark what I consider the two most important model outputs. Food Production per capita is the green line, which is also important. The calculations are all made in terms of the weight of physical quantities of materials used, for the world as a whole. The financial system is not modeled...
​..I find this forecast disturbing. Industrial output per capita (which would include things like automobiles, farm machinery, and computers) is shown as already steeply declining by 2025 in the updated model. This trend is much clearer than in the 1972 model. By 2050, industrial output per capita is a small fraction of the amount it was at peak.
​  Food output per capita is shown to start dropping about 2025. Based on my understanding of the 1972 Limits to Growth analysis, this change might reflect a shift away from meat-eating, rather than simply fewer total calories per person.
​  World population follows a curve similar to that of the 1972 Limits to Growth analysis with a peak in world population at perhaps about 2030.​..
​..Figure 8 indicates that world industrial production is expected to be the first type of output to drop. This makes sense if energy supply is quite limited or is high-priced. Without adequate inexpensive energy supply, a country is likely to cut back on manufacturing its own goods. Instead, it tries to buy from countries with less expensive sources of energy supply.
​  For example, US industrial production per capita has been falling since 1973. The year 1973 was the year when oil prices first spiked.​..  A larger share of manufactured goods needed to be imported from countries with lower-cost fuel supply. Oil needed to be used sparingly because of its high cost. Coal, used heavily in Asia, was typically much cheaper.​..
..China took the lead in industrial production after it joined the World Trade Organization in 2001, but now it is running into obstacles... A... great deal of China’s growth was financed by debt. As long as China’s exports were growing very rapidly, this was not a problem. But as growth has slowed, China’s debt has become difficult to repay with interest.​.. The level of conflict between China and other countries has grown...
​..The world is increasingly operating in a “not enough to go around” mode for scarce resources. At the same time, countries need to somewhat get along. So we get strange narratives in the press giving rationalizations for actions by both sides, without mentioning the shortage issue.
​  Figure 8 shows that once industrialization drops, food production also begins to fall, but not as quickly. This makes sense because everyone recognizes that food is essential. The falling calories likely reflect people increasingly moving from meat to vegetable products.
​  Somehow, world population becomes poorer, but the level of population does not drop nearly as rapidly as the drop in industrialization.​                               Simplification is likely to take place in significant steps, perhaps at the time of strange events, such as those occurring in 2020.
These are a few ways simplification might take place​: [list] ​   https://ourfiniteworld.com/2024/12/04/the-world-economy-needs-to-simplify/

​  President Trump Ends Duty-Free De Minimis Treatment for All Chinese Goods
​  Congress in 2015 ... raised the de minimis threshold from $200 to $800. However, the e-commerce world exploded, and Chinese companies began using the de minimis loophole to ship cheap goods (ex. Temu and Shein) into the USA direct to consumers without paying any customs duty...The de minimis exemption has been cancelled for all products coming out of China. The rule change only targets China and Chinese shippers. No one else.
​  The minimum duty is $25, and the tariff rate is 30% for all products mailed from China into the USA that previously qualified under the de minimis rule.
Beyond tariffs or sector specific countervailing duties, the removal of China to use the $800 de minimis exemption will destroy their economy.  There is no way for manufacturers in China, marketed into the USA, to be able to survive if they are forced to collect and organize the requirements for U.S. custom and import duties. They will simply dissolve.​

  Simplicius,  Trump's "Liberation Day": Another PR Gag, or Global Reorientation Turning Point?  
  Many believe Trump’s grandiose vision to be too little too late, but a counterargument is that the world is now in a race to the bottom, with European nations well ahead of the pack. Trump may not rekindle an American golden age, but his bold and drastic actions will likely tighten the yoke around European vassals, ensuring American supremacy in that quarter of the world for years to come.
  The big question that will remain is how competitive can America ever realistically become against China...
..Russia was not included amongst Trump’s tariffs because sanctions on Russia have resulted in little trade that can be measurably tariffed. Several outlets rebutted this explanation...  If true, this would be an interesting development, as it would mean the US-Russia rapprochement is much deeper than assumed, and Trump could be banking on ingratiating himself to Russia as a way to truly turn the world on its head with an unprecedented eventual partnership between the two superpowers.
  This comes amidst Putin’s personal presidential economic development envoy Kirill Dmitriev landing in D.C. today, along with full media circuit: Video 1, Video 2. Dmitriev is a Kiev-born, US-raised, Goldman Sachs-trained financier who’s got a unique handle on the lay of the land. His recent rise to prominence clearly indicates the coming together of Russian and American business interests and thawing of relations, which could be a positive sign for Trump’s long term global reorientation strategy.

​  Putin Envoy In D.C. Hails Trump's Tariff Strategy: 'Shift Toward Economic Sovereignty'
​  Kirill Dmitriev, CEO of Russia’s Direct Investment Fund and special Putin envoy who was sent this week to meet with top US officials in Washington, has said his two-days of meetings went well and that positive steps were made.
​  "I would say that today and yesterday, we made three steps forward on a large number of issues," Dmitriev said after meeting with Steve Witkoff, President Trump’s Middle East envoy, who has also been deeply involved in Ukraine negotiations.​..
​..Dmitriev told CNN in a fresh interview that he conveyed to the Trump administration that Moscow is ready to do business again with American companies.
​  "At this point, we are not asking for any sanction relief. We are just discussing that if America wants to have more business with Russia... then of course US can do so," he said.
​  He warned that both sides must overcome the lack of communication which marked the opening three years of war in Ukraine. "Therefore, the process of dialogue, the process of resolution will take some time, but it is definitely positive and constructive," he described.
​  Dmitriev was in the US during the 'Liberation day' tariff rollout, praising a policy that reflects "a growing shift toward economic sovereignty and national interest."​...
..He additionally stated in a separate interview while in D.C., "If President Putin commits to something, it gets done. Putin is a historic leader. Trump is a historic leader. They can work together to make history happen. If they cannot achieve major progress, few leaders can."​    https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/putin-envoy-dc-hails-trumps-tariff-strategy-shift-toward-economic-sovereignty

  Gilbert Doctorow,   Jeffrey Sachs and the nonsense of our best known economists with respect to the Trump tariffs  
  The reforms are only partially about economics. I insist that their basic driving force is exactly the same as drives Donald Trump’s wrecking ball approach to U.S. foreign policy, namely to bring back sovereignty by withdrawing from all alliances of every kind – economic, defense – and reordering the world around relations between the three or four Great Powers on this planet, the United States, China, Russia and India. The guiding principle will be national interest, not ideology, not democratic versus authoritarian countries and the other hogwash that has passed for guiding principles these past decades under both Democratic and Republican administrations.
  Trump talks about putting an end to the rip-off of the United States by its friends as well as by its foes through long acquiescence in their unfair trading practices that are obstacles to U.S. exports and feed into the presently unsustainable trade deficits each year, which this year are well in excess of one trillion dollars. In effect, he is proposing to end the subventions and overly favorable trade concessions to allies to buy their loyalty which explain U.S. indulgence up to now. Their loyalty is no more a matter of interest to Washington, which will deal only with its peers, the Great Powers. Though one may object that the highest tariffs will be applied precisely to a ‘foe,’ the Great Power, China, I believe that in this one case the parties will enter into negotiations to arrive at a less punitive tariff system for the sake of their other common interests as fellow members of the world’s governing board.

  The effect of aspartame and sucralose intake on body weight measures and blood metabolites: role of their form (solid and/or liquid) of ingestion
..All rats had free access to food and water for 7 weeks. Energy intake, body weight and body composition were monitored and blood metabolites were determined. Results showed that aspartame ingestion significantly increased body weight and fat mass mainly due to an increase in energy efficiency. The effect was related to the amount rather than the form of ingestion. Additionally, aspartame ingestion was associated with glucose intoleranceSucralose ingestion had a similar impact to that of aspartame though to a lesser extent. In conclusion, 7-week ingestion of aspartame and sucralose had adverse effects on body measures that were not related to the form of ingestion.  ["Nutra-Sweet" & "Splenda"  https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9301525/
