'According to historical data from the U.S. Census Bureau, your figures are highly accurate. Between 1960 and 1999, U.S. total international trade (the combined value of exports and imports) increased by roughly 4,466%, rising by over $2.16 trillion. 
The exact breakdown of nominal goods and services trade highlights this massive expansion:
1960 Total Trade: $48.37 billion
Exports: $25.94 billion
Imports: $22.43 billion 

1999 Total Trade: $2.21 trillion
Exports: $976.53 billion
Imports: $1.23 trillion 

Core Drivers of Growth
Globalization: The multi-decade surge reflects rapid post-WWII economic integration, the reduction of tariffs, and the establishment of major global agreements like GATT and the creation of the World Trade Organization (WTO).
Skyrocketing Demand: Rapid growth in consumer electronics, automotive trade, and industrial machinery through the late 1990s dramatically multiplied the volume of imported consumer goods. 
The Shift to Deficits: While the U.S. started the 1960s with a trade surplus ($3.5 billion), by 1999, imports significantly outpaced exports, leaving the U.S. with a trade deficit of $255.8 billion that year.

'Between 1960 and 1999, the United States total international trade volume (the combined sum of total exports and imports of goods and services) surged from $48.37 billion to $2.21 trillion, representing an overall increase of approximately 4,466%. 

Data compiled by the U.S. Census Bureau highlights this 40-year trajectory: 
U.S. Total Trade Growth Breakdown (1960 vs. 1999)
Metric 1960 Value 1999 Value Absolute Increase
Total Exports $25.94 billion $976.53 billion +$950.59 billion

Total Trade Volume $48.37 billion $2.21 trillion +$2.16 trillion
Trade Balance +$3.51 billion (Surplus) -$255.81 billion (Deficit) -$259.32 billion
Key Takeaways of the 40-Year Expansion
Shift to Globalization: Total U.S. trade as a percentage of GDP expanded aggressively over these four decades. In 1999 alone, international trade accounted for over 23.3% of total U.S. GDP. 

World Bank Group
Emergence of Trade Deficits: The U.S. maintained a healthy trade surplus in 1960. However, by the late 1970s and through the 1990s, import growth heavily outpaced export growth, widening the annual trade gap to over a quarter of a trillion dollars by 1999. 

Macrotrends
The Rise of Services: While physical goods comprised the vast majority of the trade volume, the trade of services (like financial, travel, and corporate services) grew into an independent economic engine, yielding an $81.26 billion surplus for the U.S. by 1999.

Fifty years ago today, on April 30, 1975, Vietnam defeated the United States of America. It’s called “The Vietnam War” — but the Vietnamese call it, more accurately, “The American War.” Because it was the Americans who invaded Vietnam eleven years earlier to kill and dominate its people.
April 30, 1975, marked the Fall of Saigon and the end of the conflict known in Vietnam as the American War and in the US as the Vietnam War.'

'Reserve currency status means central banks worldwide hold large amounts of the U.S. Dollar to facilitate global trade, stabilize local exchange rates, and serve as a financial safety net. 

Investopedia

📊 What It Means Globally
Trade Invoicing: Most global commodities (like oil and gold) are priced and traded in U.S. dollars. 
Foreign Reserves: Central banks keep dollar assets, mostly safe U.S. Treasuries, as a rainy-day fund. 

Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis
Reduced Risk: Countries minimize currency conversion costs and exchange rate shocks. 


✅ The Benefits for the U.S.
Lower Borrowing Costs: High global demand for Treasury bonds lets the U.S. government borrow money more cheaply.
Exorbitant Privilege: The U.S. can run persistent trade and budget deficits more easily than other nations.

'Official U.S. trade statistics do not use a single standardized classification system for "major global economies," "emerging economies," and "volatile markets," meaning exact aggregate percentages vary depending on how individual countries are categorized.
However, looking at total U.S. imports (which total roughly $3.5 trillion annually), trade data from the U.S. Census Bureau and economic databases break down roughly as follows based on standard IMF/World Bank definitions of advanced versus emerging economies:

Trading Economics
1. Major Global Economies (Advanced Economies)
Approximate Share: ~40% to 45% of total U.S. imports.
Key Partners: Canada, Mexico (often classified together as North American trade partners representing ~26–27% to 30% alone), Japan, Germany, the United Kingdom, and members of the European Union.

Trading Economics
Details: North America and advanced European/Asian economies consistently supply the bulk of high-value manufactured goods, vehicles, industrial machinery, and energy products.
2. Emerging Economies
Approximate Share: ~35% to 40% of total U.S. imports.
Key Partners: China (the single largest individual overseas supplier at roughly 15–17% of total imports), Vietnam, India, South Korea, Taiwan, and Malaysia.

United States Trade Representative (.gov)
Details: Asian emerging markets and newly industrialized economies dominate this category, supplying high volumes of consumer electronics, computers, apparel, and manufactured components.
3. Volatile Markets / Developing or Frontier Regions
Approximate Share: ~10% to 15% of total U.S. imports.
Key Partners: Various commodity-exporting nations, smaller developing economies, or countries experiencing ongoing geopolitical, economic, or domestic structural instability (such as parts of Latin America, Africa, and specific Middle Eastern or Eurasian suppliers of crude oil and raw minerals).
Details: The U.S. imports specific raw materials, agricultural goods, and fossil fuels from these regions, but their collective market share fluctuates significantly based on commodity price volatility and supply chain shifts.
Note: For exact, real-time monthly tracking of specific trading partners and shifting deficit/import shares, consult the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis monthly trade reports.

'In 2025, the total value of U.S. imports reached $4.33 trillion ($4,333.8 billion) for combined goods and services. This accounted for 55.80% of the total two-way U.S. trade volume ($7.77 trillion).
Because trade metrics are often tracked strictly by physical merchandise (excluding services), the official data breaks down as follows:
Total Goods and Services Trade
Total Imports Value: $4,333.8 billion ($4.33 trillion)
Total Exports Value: $3,432.3 billion ($3.43 trillion)
Total Two-Way Trade: $7,766.1 billion ($7.77 trillion)
Imports as % of Total Trade: 55.80%
Merchandise (Goods Only) Trade
Total Goods Imports Value: $3.42 trillion ($3,420 billion)
Total Goods Exports Value: $2.18 trillion ($2,180 billion)
Total Two-Way Goods Trade: $5.60 trillion ($5,600 billion)
Imports as % of Total Goods Trade: 61.07%

'On average, major global currencies fluctuate by 5% to 15% against one another over the course of a single year. However, this average spans across distinct categories of economic stability, market structures, and monetary policies. 

IATA
Breakdown by Currency Category
Currency Class Average Annual Fluctuation Core Characteristics Examples
Major G10 Currencies 5% – 10% Free-floating, highly liquid, backed by stable central banks. USD, EUR, GBP, JPY, AUD
Emerging Market Currencies 10% – 20% Susceptible to commodity price shifts and changing global capital flows. BRL, MXN, ZAR, INR
Volatile / Frontier Currencies 30% – 100%+ Driven by hyperinflation, domestic crises, or sudden macro devaluations. ARS, EGP, LBP
Pegged or Fixed Currencies ~0% Artificially tied to a major currency by their central governments. AED, SAR, BHD
Key Factors Behind Annual Shifts
Interest Rate Differentials: When a central bank raises rates relative to others, it generally draws in foreign investment capital, strengthening that currency. 
Macroeconomic Data: Annual shifts in inflation rates, GDP growth, and employment reports persistently reshape market sentiment. 

Investopedia
Geopolitical & Trade Flows: Changes in import/export demands, supply chain shifts, and international friction create notable swings in trade-weighted currency indices.'

OBSERVATION 

Monday, October 19, to Saturday, October 24, 2026

One of the figures is 1.732 

When making the calculations, me who write this physically leveraged the figure of $4.33 trillion for total U.S. imports for the year 2025. When calculating leveraging the uppermost percentage of the emerging economies, this gives 0.4 x $4.33 Trillion = $1.732 Trillion. Me who write this physically leveraged this figure for other calculations. However, at some point, me who write this physically considered leveraging the $4.3338 trillion figure for total U.S. imports for the year 2025. This gives the figure $1.73352 Trillion. However, when making the eventual calculation, me who write this physically leveraged the prior figure of 1.732 which can be seen in the photographs of some of the draft calculations. However, me who write this physically discovered after writing on plain paper that the total was 2.07852, which is not derived from either value. After making some calculations, me who write this physically discovered that the figure computed had to be 1.7321. Me who write this physically did not write this additional figure 1. Therefore, it was very clear that this was the evil hacking activity of the hackers and rogue security agents who wanted to justify a spiritual and or psychological democide against me who write this physically affecting hundreds of millions of people. However, that shall not prevail through any means, manner or form. They effected this violence even while me, who write this physically, was making the corrections. It once again shows that they feel that proofreading is a crime even though they have perhaps proofread at times in their lives. 

This gave a total hypothetical figure of the cost of U.S. imports from emerging economies for the year 2025 to be $2.07852 Trillion instead of $2.0784 Trillion.

This gave a total hypothetical figure of the total cost of US imports for the year 2025 to be $5.52087 Trillion instead of $5.52075 Trillion. These and more were all corrected on plain paper and that should not be the cause of a stupendous democide, especially since the insertion of the number 1 was made by the hackers and rogue security agents who have hacked my phone. The number 1.7321 is not written anywhere on the entire draft calculations. 

When me who write this physically discovered this me who write this physically decided to write the figure and circled it to make a clear distinction. Me who write this physically wanted to make the insertion in the same position as the 1.732 but decided to raise it for clear distinction. This was after making the entire calculation, which can be clearly seen from the consistency of the handwriting for the entire calculation as compared to the figure 1. 

This is serious, since some people are of the opinion that certain numbers or words cannot be used by others and sometimes such people respond very violently if a calculation or word is written. They are basically trying to censor parts of the language even though they can write and speak words and numbers of their choice. For instance, how would it be to punish any person that mentions or writes the word biology or biodiversity because of Biodun. In my opinion, that would be ill-advised and those doing that to me would not tolerate that. This is important. 

Every single person responsible for this is made known legally and accurately in a timely manner.

The entire intent of this is made known legally and accurately in a timely manner and shall not prevail through any means, manner or form.



The photograph made on Wednesday 21st October 2026 has some boxes without some short lines between them. This is just to help understand the flow better, but in this situation, the flow is very clear even without that and is in no way or manner incorrect. However, me who write this physically took some new photographs and videos on Friday 23rd October 2026 to show the added lines.

However, those that have imposed monumental destruction of lives and property as well as the theft of gargantuan quantities of resources with reference to this have committed crimes against humanity. That is not only illegal but completely unjust.





On Wednesday 21st October 2026, the hackers and rogue security agents made it not as difficult to get some pictures, but still it was not feasible to get the picture that me who write this physically wanted. This means it was very difficult to get the appropriate photograph. Therefore, me who write this physically made the best with what was feasible. Some of the photographs showed the text but not the pineapples completely or showed part of my beard on part of the text, while some showed no text at all but clearly showed me and the pineapples. What me who write this physically simply wanted was a simple photograph clearly showing my face, the pineapples and the text clearly without my beard covering any part of the paper. This is simple enough, but the hackers and rogue security agents make this very difficult. Since the last of such posting required over 80 of such type of photographs me who write this physically did not have the space to keep taking pictures for hours. Consequently me who write this physically snapped no less than 15 pictures of me who write this physically with text, none of which were satisfactory. Me who write this physically had to make no less than 5 videos to get two that were satisfactory, though the one with the pineapples is not exactly as me who write this physically wanted it to be. 



















The hackers and the rogue security agents also deleted no less than 10 different references which took some time to recover and post on this page. An entire copy of all the references was also deleted by the hackers and rogue security agents after me, who write this physically kept and saved the references in a spare draft. This is wrong and illegal.

People from one of the compounds of the hackers and rogue security agents started shouting on the street and in their compound which affected the video recording. When me who write this physically tried editing the video because of the shouting, they prevented that as well by not allowing the video to save multiple times and then deleting a video and also putting a timeline that was not in the recording several times. This is all illegal and shows that they are determined to prevent this from being posted, but that shall not prevail through any means, manner or form. It took no less than 10 screen videos of the same video to get a video that could be posted. This video posted eventually was not edited. This all took from prior to 5pm to after 6.39pm, which is approximately one and three-quarter hours.

Due to memory space, not all the videos could be screen recorded.






Me who write this physically snapped no less than 18 pictures and still could not get a photograph with the text that was satisfactory. This was after 4pm on Friday 23rd October 2026.















One of my logical inferences from the tremendous violence spiritually and or psychologically unleashed against me who write this physically while preparing this post this week is that those involved and responsible are completely opposed to the topic written about. It is not clear to me why that is but it clearly appears this way. As a result of this, me, who write this physically, though it was not my prior intention to include this request, please request that the United States legally and accurately determine if there have been any efforts at this time or prior to DELIBERATELY undermine the economy of the United States from within and outside the United States. Any potential attempts should also be legally and accurately determined.

The spiritual and or psychological attacks were horrendous and unrelenting day and night clearly to prevent the completion and posting of this post. That shall not prevail, through any means, manner or form.

Every single person responsible for this is made known legally and accurately in a timely manner.

The entire intent of this is made known legally and accurately in a timely manner and shall not prevail through any means, manner or form.

This commitment of mass murders and democide, spiritually and or psychologically, is grievous and, in my opinion, needs to be legally and accurately adjudicated in courts of competent jurisdiction, established and constituted by Law in such a manner as to secure their independence and impartiality in a timely manner.
