Facebook is intervening in Asia politics under the US directives.

https://www.businesstimes.com.sg/technology/facebook-steps-up-monitoring-for-taiwan-elections

Facebook is setting up election monitoring offices in Taiwan and Singapore to intervene in local elections.

How will Facebook intervene in Asia's local elections?

First, they will set up a "war room" to monitor the election candidates' groups and remove the FB pages to silence the voices of the election candidates online.  Facebook will only allow the voices of those favoured candidates to be heard or seen online.

http://focustaiwan.tw/news/ast/201912300015.aspx

FB has already removed Taiwan Han's groups because he is pro-China.  FB may do the same thing in SG by removing the oppositions' groups.

http://focustaiwan.tw/news/asoc/201912130019.aspx

The US layoffs hit its highest level while the unemployment rate was at its lowest.

https://sg.finance.yahoo.com/news/layoffs-hit-4-year-high-in-2019-challenger-gray-data-says-190116585.html

The US unemployment rate was at its lowest while the layoffs hit its highest level.  How come?

https://www.cnbc.com/2019/12/06/us-nonfarm-payrolls-november-2019.html

The only explanation for this conundrum is that the US employment rate has an error since it is survey-based and is subjected to manipulation (fudging).

The recession constellation is aligning in the US!

https://www.reuters.com/article/us-oil-opec-russia-novak-2020/russias-novak-says-opec-may-consider-ending-oil-output-cuts-in-2020-idUSKBN1YV0HY

I've stated this a few times on my blog below.

http://sg-stock.blogspot.com/2019/12/the-wall-street-analysts-are-starting.html?showComment=1576822097373#c7821513851698794977

Let me surmise again.

1. Tltro II will expire in March 2020.
2. ISM PMI reported its first contraction for August (Below 50) in September. The US recession may happen at the earliest 6 months later which is in March 2020.
3. The Republicans want to remove its President by March 2020. Nancy Pelosi just needs to get some Republicans to deflect to impeach Trump.
4. The opec+ will end the oil production cut in March 2020.  This will affect the US shale oil industry because the US has been gaining the oil market share at the expense of opec+.

All these events are pointing out that March 2020 will be a turning point for the US.
