How Come the Left’s ‘Demands’ Never Apply to China?
Good question.
Gallup Poll Shows Race Relations Getting Worse (exactly what Critical Race Theory was created to do)
Democrats are in power and things are getting worse, not better. No one should be surprised by this.
D’Souza Explains: Democrat/FBI/DoJ January 6th “Insurrection” Narrative Continues to Fall Apart (video)
The FBI and DoJ have become a farce on the level of a banana republic.
Was the Governor Whitmer “Abduction Plot” an FBI Orchestrated “Jussie Smollett” Job? – UPDATED!
The evidence is mounting that it was the FBI who encouraged, trained and even paid for the entire plot to happen. It also seems that there may have been more FBI assets than there were civilian “plotters”. At what point did it go from the FBI infiltrating the group to the FBI being the group?
Then of course Trump was blamed for all of this shortly before the election. How convenient. In light of the “Russian Collusion” hoax, the Ukraine hoax and the FBI covering for Hillary’s illegal home server full of classified information as well as her sale of American uranium resources to Vladimir Putin, heads of three letter agencies lying to Congress, spying on Americans illegally and spying on Congress itself……this causes people to wonder……was this whole scenario dreamed up in order to blame Trump and create a pre-election surprise. Unfortunately the FBI and DoJ are so corrupted that nothing, including this, is beneath them.
This is the same DoJ that sent American guns to Mexican drug cartels so they could blame the ensuing violence on American gun owners and pass a new “assault weapon” ban.
We almost forgot to mention that their January 6th “insurrection” narrative is falling apart as well.
UPDATE –
UPDATE II –
Top 10 Countries /w Largest Reductions and Increases of CO2 Emissions
We were reluctant to even post this because as earth science and biology science tell us that CO2 is needed for life and is not a pollutant.
However this puts the truth to the lie that the USA is the biggest offender in this as the Marxist-Left and their corporate media allies claim. Also notice that the same “environmental” groups (as we use the team lightly) as a rule will not criticize China as they are already communist.
Inside Hezbollah Underground Terror Tunnel’s into Israel (video)
This is how far they are willing to go to kill Israeli civilians. This is simply incredible. The IDF estimates that terrorists spent $5 million creating it.
AWESOME – Famed Attorney’s Viva & Barnes Review CRT Lawsuit Brought By Drama Teacher (video)
For those who claim that Critical Race Theory (CRT) and hate are not being taught in our public schools, they need to see this lawsuit filled with examples of outrageous hate and Marxism that are being forced on very young students. The CRT curriculum is in direct violation of state and federal civil rights laws.
Canadian Attorney Viva Frie and famed American litigator Robert Barnes discus the suit:
The CCP Waged an Information/Culture/Indoctrination War on Tibet – Then They Got Violent
This is how it always starts. Just as older Jews, or Vietnamize, Koreans, Chinese, Cubans or those who lived behind the Iron Curtain.
This is a fabulous piece by Steve Rose at American Thinker. We usually do not reprint so much of another’s article here but this is so important that the word must get out to every thinking person.
Steve Rose at American Thinker:
It’s becoming increasingly clear that powerful forces are determined to undermine American from the inside. The effort is apparently either to destroy America entirely or hollow it out and transform it into something fundamentally different from what it ever was or was intended to be.
But what’s really going on, and why? For many of us, the experience is baffling.
One book, however, offers a refreshing – but unsettling – jolt of clarity: the autobiography of the Dalai Lama, Freedom In Exile. This book (and Kundun, the 1997 Martin Scorsese movie which depicts many events described in the book) describes China’s invasion of Tibet in the 1950s.
Americans might learn several useful lessons from the book and movie. Here are five.
1. The idea of deliberately eradicating culture
The idea of deliberately destroying a culture probably horrifies most Americans today. But it was apparently a key tactic during the CCP’s invasion. As the Dalai Lama describes in his book:
“…the Chinese authorities had ruthlessly and systematically tried to destroy our ancient culture.” (231)
One way of destroying the Tibetan culture was through immigration:
“…following a massive immigration programme, the population of Chinese in Tibet now comfortably exceeds that of Tibetans. My countrymen and women are today in grave danger of becoming nothing more than a tourist attraction in their own country.” (237)
2. The idea of deliberately exterminating religion
The Dalai Lama recounted a conversation in which Chairman Mao said, “Religion is poison.” (98)
He later described the CCP targeting religious leaders with tactics specifically focused on undermining religious convictions:
“This bombardment was followed by the merciless torture and execution of women and children…and, incredibly, by the disgusting abuse of monks and nuns. After arrest, these simple, religious people were forced – in public – to break their vows of celibacy with one another and even to kill people.” (110)
3. The idea of deliberately destroying conscience
Americans typically see “conscience” as something sacred. Others see it as a target.
“…the local population had begun to be indoctrinated against religion. Monks and nuns were subject to severe harassment and publicly humiliated. For example, they were forced to join in extermination programmes of insects, rats, birds and all types of vermin, even though the Chinese authorities knew that taking any form of life is contrary to Buddhist teaching. If they refused, they were beaten.” (104)
Why force monks and nuns to kill animals? This apparently wasn’t done despite their beliefs, it seems, but because of them. Forcing people to violate their consciences wasn’t an accident. It was the point. It’s effective brainwashing. To destroy a conscience is to destroy an identity, which makes individuals obedient, compliant, and easier to rule.
Another example was forcing children to murder their own parents.
“The Khampas, of all their possessions, the one the valued above all others was their personal weapons. So when the local cadres began to confiscate these, the Khampas reacted with violence… The Chinese dealt viciously with Khampa resistance: not only were public beatings and executions carried out but often these were done by the victim’s own child.” (104-105)
4. Torture and murder
Americans are almost unanimously against torture and murder. The only question – as in waterboarding – is where to draw the line. But we should keep this in perspective.
“The methods that the Chinese used to intimidate the population… crucifixion, vivisection, disemboweling and dismemberment of victims was commonplace. So too were beheading, burning, beating to death and burying alive, not to mention dragging people behind galloping horses until they died or hanging them upside down or throwing them bound hand and foot into icy water. And, in order to prevent them shouting out, ‘Long live the Dalai Lama’, on the way to execution, they tore out their tongues with meat hooks.” (124)
The Dalai Lama continues:
“Other ex-detainees…were repeatedly given shocks from the electric cattle prods…A young man had one forced into his mouth…and a nun told investigators of how she had had this instrument of torture forced into both her anus and vagina.” (266)
5. Extreme Gaslighting
CCP members seemed to imagine themselves not as villains, but as well-intentioned do-gooders, which “justified” their actions.
“I told him point-blank that it was wrong for them to have done such a thing. But this only started an argument. My criticisms were an insult to the Motherland, which wanted only to protect and assist my people. If some of my countrymen did not want reforms – reforms which would benefit the masses because they would prevent their exploitation – then they could expect to be punished. His reasoning was lunatic.” (111)
From the start, the CCP narrative was that they were “liberating Tibet from the hands of imperialist aggressors.” (51). (The Dalai Lama, apparently, was the “imperialist aggressor” in this scenario.) This narrative rationalized the entire invasion.
“…A harsh, crackling voice announced that…’over the last hundred years or more’ aggressive imperialist forces had penetrated into Tibet and ‘carried out all kinds of deceptions and provocations.’ It added that ‘under such conditions, the Tibetan nationality and people were plunged into the depths of enslavement and suffering.’ I felt physically ill as I listened to the unbelievable mixture of lies and fanciful clichés.” (63)
From Clause One of China’s “Agreement” for the “Peaceful Liberation of Tibet”:
“The Tibetan people shall unite and drive out imperialist aggressive forces from Tibet. The Tibetan people shall return to the big family of the Motherland – the People’s Republic of China.” (63)
Nobody actually believed this narrative, it seemed, including the people declaring it. But that didn’t matter. Words, to them, weren’t descriptions of reality, but tools of power.
Dr. Fauci Among Other Biden Administration Officials Using COVID to Attack Free Speech and Academic Freedom.
After Biden’s spokeswoman boasted that the administration was ordering Facebook to censor some people’s speech, Fauci joined the campaign by appearing on CNN to warn about the dangers of letting anyone say whatever they think. “We probably would still have polio in this country if we had the kind of false information that’s being spread now,” he falsely claimed.
Fauci, as usual, is wrong about everything.
The polio vaccine was the subject of numerous controversies which played out in public.
There were anti-vaccine campaigns long before Facebook. The most bracing of these took on the polio vaccine with the headline, “Little White Coffins” declaring, “Only God above will know how many thousands of little white coffins will be used to bury the victims of Salk’s heinous, fraudulent vaccine.” Walter Winchell, who at his peak reached over 50 million people, warned that one particular version of the vaccine, which contained a live virus, was a “killer”.
Contrary to Fauci’s fantasies (aided and abetted by a media eager to find a pretext for censoring any open marketplace of ideas), the fifties were not a totalitarian dystopia in which free speech did not exist. Many of the same controversies as today, from socialism to science, played out to large audiences across a bewildering array of national and local newspapers, radio stations, mailings, books and magazines in a country where the media had not yet been consolidated.
Today, much of the newspaper, radio, and television markets, not to mention publishing, are controlled in one way or another by a handful of giant companies. While the fifties had their massive chains and networks, they were far more intellectually diverse, and had plenty of different owners and perspectives in the mix. The American cultural environment today would strike people from that era as Communist because it resembles the tight centralized control of the Soviet Union. America has never had as little free and open debate as it does now because never have the means of debate been clutched in as few hands as is now the case.
