‘Shocking’ number of rapes in UK hopitals revealed, more than 6,500 rapes and sexual assaults – some against children under 13! If women you should be afraid. Only 4% of reported assaults ended in someone being charged, women’s rights activists said.
Got exposed! No place to hide! Canada’s state media quit Twitter over label. The CBC has objected to Elon Musk’s “government-funded media” designation they have managed to hide for decades.
Musk says Twitter secrets ‘blew’ his mind. Twitter was a US State Control Media prior to his take over. The social network’s boss says the US government had “full access” to everything. “Thieves yelling Thieves” by US Government. 馬斯克說 Twitter 的秘密“讓他大吃一驚”。在他接管之前,推特是一家美國國家控制媒體。該社交網絡的老闆表示,美國政府可以“完全訪問”所有內容。美國政府天天”賊喊捉賊”.
Why Do We Distrust the Chinese Govt? by Kenneth Roth, former head Human Rights Watch (US State Sponsored, mouthpiece of US Gov’t) 為什麼我們不信任中國政府?肯尼思·羅斯 (美國政府喉舌, 前人權觀察組織負責人) by Mario Cavolo Apr 17 2023
Below is a list of answers, six in total, to this question, by former head of HRW, Human Rights Watch, which he recently posted in Twitter. Why do we distrust the Chinese government?
I am incredulous at his answers to this question and writing up this piece as a rebuttal. This the world, the disinformation age we live in, fausted upon us by the highest level of govt, organizations & people like Roth. Its so bad I can’t even figure out at this point why the hell they even do it. So let’s go through Mr Roth’s six answers and I’ll add my comments in along the way to clarify and refute these ridiculous assertions.
Why do we distrust the Chinese government?
Its Covid-19 cover-up.
What cover up? Just two weeks ago, I watched an interview with Dr. Redfield, former CDC Director. He said very casually and matter of factly “We know the first cases of Covid 19 in the US were back in August – September. The entire “blame China for Covid-19” narrative is one gigantic psyops propaganda machine designed to keep you thing one thing and one thing only, China is bad. It is designed as all other topics are designed to do one thing and one thing only, demonize China. Because China’s steady, amazing, rising success is a disaster and embarassment for the west, for the United States in particular. I must add in, nobody expected it. China’s rise has been far more substantial and significant than anyone had imagined would happen and, besides the serious efforts to stop it via bans & sanctions, China’s rise across the world continues unabated. We really are in a Fourth Turning period of history. Of course, I could dive much further down the rabbit hole of Covid origins, to just blame China for a “coverup” is absurd on its face and Roth know that.
Its detention of 1M Uyghurs.
Another case of “repeat a lie for a few years and people will start to believe it.”
Friends, every time fake Uyghur oppression/genocide accussations come up, they come up without evidence and then they get debunked by at least a dozen different people including myself who do nothing more than basic research to prove the accusations are obviously false.
Here’s my counter question: Are there Uyghurs detained? Yes, I’m certain there were. Probably many thousands in response to a set of planned, coordinated terrorist attacks in Xinjiang by radical extremist Uyghur Muslims leading to many deaths & violence. There is no denying that the Chinese govt will fast & hard clamp down on such a situation and they did.
During that time, did the lives of Uyghurs become subject to extra security checks? Yes, to keep them safe, which is what any govt ought to do. We’re annoyingly checked every time we travel at airports anywhere in the world, aren’t we? Its annoying, but we live with it.
Every friend I know has personally travelled to Xinjiang and posted detailed videos for you to see on how the daily society and its security is there. Tourism to Xinjiang is 100% wide open. That doesn’t happen when you’re genociding the locals, eh?
Are there bad criminal Uyghurs in jail? Yes. There are bad criminal people in every country in jail. And guess what, their families overseas are all claiming they are all innocent. This is not unique to Uyghurs, is it? Everyone’s dad in jail is innocent, except they’re not.
Are there “1 MILLION” Uyghurs in detention? NO. First of all, what is “detention”? And by asking that question, I explain to you this is where the real propaganda begins to demonize China with fake Uyghur accusations. “detention” “concentration camps” “genocide” these are all false flag words used in the propaganda to trigger you but they are based on ZERO, and I do mean ZERO evidence. There is no such thing as any “concentration camp” for Uyghurs in Xinjiang”.
There are Uyghurs who are in prison. There are Uyghurs who attend school in the education system, that includes vocational training centers. We can add ‘in the United States at the end of this sentence” and it would be 100% accurate if we were talking about anyone in America where we also find, prisons, schools & vocational training centers. This is a normal state of affairs in any country. There is no such thing as a “detention center” in Xinjiang.
Its shredding of Hong Kong’s freedoms.
Honestly, this is just nonsense. The govt of Hong Kong had delayed passing its NSL, National Security Law, for several years. The United States has over half a dozen National Security Laws and every country has National Security Laws. Why should Hong Kong NOT have National Security Laws. Over a period of one year, there were constant violent riotous protests on the streets of Hong Kong, many organized & funded by NED, the US. National Endownment for Democracy, which is the formed non-intelligence branch of the CIA. There was a year of violent riots and what did the Hong Kong govt and Beijing govt do in response.
They did NOT call in the military. The Hong Kong police did not kill one single violent criminal protester in response during the violent protests. They passed the National Security Law bringing peace & stability back to the lives of the Hong Kong People.
Its stifling of civil society.
This accustion is propaganda to deflect because the society where civility is in rapid decline is the west, especially the United States. Its very sad. The opposite is true here in China. We live in an incredible safe, stable, steady, low crime society each & every day. Citizens of so many other countries cannot fathom such a situation. Same is true, for example, in Singapore. If you don’t want your family subject to all kinds of criminal, violent risks and other sick, twisted cultural influences, then move to a country where those problems don’t exist.
I live here in China 24 years. I can assure without any hesitation, we have more freedom here in China than any person living in the United States. I can’t think of anything Chinese people complain about they feel they are not free to do that has any bearing on their ability to pursue their interests & needs in daily life for their household. This applies to the men, to the women and to the children.
China is the largest, safe, stable, successful, capable, civil & peaceful country on the planet. Really.
Its cozying up to war-criminal Putin.
Two wrongs don’t make a right. Many say the opposite “cozying up to war criminal the United States, of its allies” Lets not forget the ICC has tried to move forward with trying the United States for war crimes more than once, as it should. The United States responds by threatening more war crimes. If Putin is also a war criminal, so be it, two wrongs don’t make a right. If you want to take that approach, then you can complain about China cozying up to Putin no different than you can complain about Germany cozying up to the United States.
What we DO know is that the only player in this conversation who is NOT a war criminal is China. They haven’t been engaged in war with any other country in any way since the Sino-Vietnamese War in 1979, 44 years ago. They are rising in peace.
I wish to hell the other countries would figure out how to do the same and I’m sure you agree.
Xi Jinping as president-for-life.
And Nancy Pelosi? And the government appointments in the UK? How many major politicians are in their positions for endless years? This is not a marker of good governance. I can’t think of anything less important than the machinations of govt structure or the party lines of left/right/Democrat/Republican or democracy/authoritarian in politics. These are all top line words used in discussions to keep you from knowing how the govts are really operating, which can only be seen & understood by the results they get. This type of accusation is thrown up as a distraction from the simple notion of whether or not a country’s government is doing good governance for its country, for its society, for its people, or not. The US govt has been a disaster zone for well over 20 years and this is clearly reflected in the declining state of its society on multiple fronts. For China, the opposite happens to be true during the same 20 + years period of time. Call it a coincidence if you like, it just happens to be true. The Chinese govt has never done better than during this period in our lifetimes and continues to strive forward and even better, is doing so, in peace. Its remarkable. Its also embarassing as hell to the United States and the declining imperialist west it has led. How long Xi Jin Ping stays in office is one of the least influential factors on the table to worry about.
Some Additional Points
Roth is one of the point men always pushing this idea that oppression in China is getting worse. Here’s an example. Roth and all these similar pundits were always talking about how the pandemic lockdowns were unnecessary and being used by the evil totalitarian CCP to control & oppress the people. Keep in mind, that during the pandemic lockdowns, the Chinese govt was also NOT renewing the passports of Chinese citizens. So yes, its true these things were happening, I’m not denying it.
But then what happened? As I said all along the entire three years, the pandemic lockdown polices were strictly a “public health” policy. They had ZERO to do with the govt here having any desire or interest to control & oppress the people. Sure enough, I was right. In December, the pandemic lockdowns ended with little fuss at all. The wild Covid outbreak of the lates variant Ba-1, Ba-5 ripped across the country for around two months, there was around 250,000 deaths, 95% of which were elderly with pre-existing weaknesses, and then it ended. At the same, time, Beijing re-opened the border in both directions, the govt also started renewing everyone’s passports. Life in China is back to normal and travel is everyone’s top priority after a rather rough three year pandemic lockdown period.
Folks, there is nothing particularly oppressive or strange happening in China and that’s the problem. By comparison, this makes many western countries in decline in today’s world look even worse. China is haven of safety, stability & low crime for its people just like Singapore except a zillion times bigger. Of course, there is much more work to be done and many ongoing challenges as its progress, domestic urbanization, and global expansion continues.
40 years ago China was a poor agrarian economy, today it is the second largest economy in the world and a world leader in many of the most advanced technologies in the world. How did China make this transformation? Let’s break it down in the mini documentary about the rise of China and how China became a superpower. 40年前,中國是一個貧窮的農業經濟體,今天它是世界第二大經濟體,在世界上許多最先進的技術方面處於世界領先地位。中國是如何實現這一轉變的?讓我們在關於中國崛起以及中國如何成為超級大國的迷你紀錄片中進行分解.
The Orwellian RESTRICT Act is a chilling echo of ‘1984’ and an erosion of American freedom by controlling American access to information by Ian Miles Cheong Apr 16 2023
Far beyond cracking down on TikTok, the bill envisages frightening powers to control citizens’ access to ‘unwanted’ information
Ian Miles Cheong is a political and cultural commentator. His work has been featured on The Rebel, Penthouse, Human Events, and The Post Millennial.
In an eerie semblance to George Orwell’s ‘1984’, the Restricting the Emergence of Security Threats that Risk Information and Communications Technology Act, or RESTRICT Act, looms as a dark cloud over American liberties.
Branded as a mere “TikTok ban,” this act possesses a sweeping reach that would empower the federal government to designate any nation a “foreign adversary,” ban online services and products even indirectly controlled by an entity within their jurisdiction, and severely punish Americans who engage in almost any transaction with them.
Sponsored by Sen. Mark Warner (D-VA), the RESTRICT Act not only targets the Chinese-linked TikTok platform but also has the potential to dismantle the very foundations of American freedom. One cannot help but draw comparisons to Orwell’s dystopian masterpiece, where pervasive government surveillance and control are the norm. In a frightening twist, this proposed legislation could make such nightmarish fiction a stark reality.
The chilling provisions of the RESTRICT Act would impose a civil penalty of up to $250,000 by the Secretary of Commerce on individuals who conduct transactions that violate the act. The bill’s definition of a transaction is disturbingly broad, encompassing activities such as acquisitions, importation, data transmission, software updates, repairs, data hosting services, and other transactions designed to evade or circumvent the act’s application.
However, as in the oppressive world of ‘1984’, the $250,000 fine is only the beginning. American citizens found to be in violation of the act could face a criminal fine of up to $1 million and a jail sentence of up to 20 years.
The parallels to Orwell’s vision are striking, as the RESTRICT Act essentially serves as a tool of control and punishment. It is a sobering reminder of the dystopian fate that awaits the public if it allows government unchecked power in the name of security from foreign nations.
Moreover, the bill allows the federal government to seize and access various devices and services belonging to American citizens, including phones and computers, internet access points, e-commerce technology and services, cryptocurrencies, and even advanced technologies like quantum computing, post-quantum cryptography, advanced robotics, and biotechnology.
To add insult to injury, the government is granted immunity from public oversight by restricting Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests related to the enforcement of the bill. In this regard, the RESTRICT Act resembles an American version of China’s “Great Firewall,” which isolates its citizens from a significant portion of the World Wide Web.
However, unlike in China, where VPN usage does not automatically lead to imprisonment and many citizens use it to access popular apps and video games without repercussions, the RESTRICT Act imposes much more severe penalties on those who violate its provisions.
Already, conservatives are sounding the alarm on the dangers of the bill, including Tucker Carlson, who dedicated a monologue warning that it would provide the government the ability to “punish American citizens and regulate how they communicate on the Internet.”
Donald Trump Jr. wrote on Twitter: “Nothing is ever as it seems. The uniparty wants more power to control what we do and see. And now we’re going to give the Biden goons the ability to throw us in jail for 20 years if they decide we’re in violation of this craziness? No thanks.”
The US House Committee on Financial Services issued a warning to other members of the Republican party to reject the bill, stating that the RESTRICT Act “is using TikTok as a smokescreen for the largest expansion of executive power since IEEPA.”
“The US can’t beat China by becoming more like the Chinese Communist Party,” it added.
It remains to be seen whether Americans will be able to wake up to the dystopian reality that looms just beyond the horizon should the ratification of the RESTRICT Act proceed. For their sake, and everyone else’s, let’s hope so.
