Still angry at US?-----China's Drug Attack on the US :: Gatestone Institute

China's Drug Attack on the US :: Gatestone Institute

• As a leading global manufacturer of fentanyl, which is being smuggled into the US in massive quantities, China is unique in appreciating just how destabilizing such a drug can be to a nation.
• The Chinese know full well that a society's addiction to drugs can unravel a proud nation, stripping away its very sovereignty. 

...In fact, this very issue was explored during a recent interview with the Communist Chinese Ambassador to the US, Qin Gang, who was quick to remind Newsweek that China knows full well the devastating impact of illicit drugs...
He told the reporter that during the 18th and 19th Centuries, "China decided to ban the material to save its population and economy, the British launched the Opium War, which started a century of humiliation for China, marked by a slate of unequal treaties and waves of Western aggressions. The repercussions of history are felt even today. With such searing pains in our national memory, China holds an understandably stronger antipathy for narcotics than any other country, as displayed in its zero-tolerance attitude towards all narcotic drugs, as well as stringent control and tough punishment measures. Thanks to these efforts, narcotics are not endemic in China."
One might suggest that the Ambassador has revealed more than he intended...

Endless "free" money to reward Big-Ed goons.

Jim Jordan: FBI Continues to 'Involve' Itself in Elections: 

“I think the Hunter Biden story will primarily be done out of the Oversight Committee under the — if, in fact, the American people put us in the majority, it will be done under the leadership of then-Chairman Comer in the Oversight Committee,” he said. “But, yes, we need to do this. I think the real question is, though, what’s the FBI really going to do? I mean, the American people have common sense. They see the facts. They see that there was a laptop, there was the eyewitness, there was the emails, there are all these suspicious activity reports.

Comply or we will destroy you!-----The PayPal Fiasco Was No Accident

The PayPal Fiasco Was No Accident

• PayPal on Oct. 8 sent out an update to its terms of use, or acceptable use policy (AUP), that included a shocking addition. It reserved the right to confiscate $2,500 from people’s accounts if they spread “misinformation.” 
• It was a clear announcement of what many already suspected: PayPal has enlisted in the information war.

"This comes weeks after PayPal blocked several important accounts in the UK, including Toby Young’s personal account, the Free Speech Union, and the DailySceptic. 

These are hugely important venues for the English-speaking world in countering the COVID propaganda narrative. It was no accident that they were targeted.
...This change was so obviously approved at the highest levels. 

It was intended to stick, and PayPal had every intention of preparing the way to confiscate funds from people based on their political loyalties and opinions. 

This is truly how bad it has gotten...Read all!

China began stockpiling PPE months before COVID-19 outbreak - TheBlaze

China began stockpiling PPE months before COVID-19 outbreak - TheBlaze: 

Asher told the Telegraph, "It was a persistent uptick [of Chinese purchasing]. And it was significant enough that my colleagues at DHS heard about it from American companies that manufacture PPE, and most importantly from U.S. hospitals reporting they weren’t able to get the normal supply of masks, gloves, gowns, and goggles."

The report added that China – the biggest manufacturer of PPE in the world – started "severely restricting" the export of medical gowns and masks months before the COVID-19 outbreak.

Communist Chinese government flexes international 'clout' by defeating UN vote to debate China's genocide of the Uyghurs - TheBlaze

Communist Chinese government flexes international 'clout' by defeating UN vote to debate China's genocide of the Uyghurs - TheBlaze: 

On Thursday, the United Nations' human rights council voted on an American-led motion to hold a debate about human rights abuses committed by communist China against Uyghurs in the nation's western region of Xinjiang. Of the council's 47 nation state members, 36 voted: 19 against and 17 for the motion. The result, said to be an "abdication of responsibility and a betrayal of Uyghur victims" by Human Rights Watch's China director, Sophie Richardson, is regarded as a win for the communist regime.

Their fake anger is only a weapon.

 

A money-stealing scam from from the start!----- NYT: California's High Speed Rail Saga Is a Complete Debacle That May Never End

NYT: California's High Speed Rail Saga Is a Complete Debacle That May Never End

"This isn't exactly breaking news, as California's ludicrous money pit known as a "high speed rail" project has been a rolling disaster for years.
But it's still something to see it all written down so bluntly in the pages of a liberal newspaper...A complete, failing mess:(From NYT)

The design for the nation’s most ambitious infrastructure project was never based on the easiest or most direct route. Instead, the train’s path out of Los Angeles was diverted across a second mountain range to the rapidly growing suburbs of the Mojave Desert — a route whose most salient advantage appeared to be that it ran through the district of a powerful Los Angeles county supervisor....

 Meanwhile, costs have continued to escalate...at the current spending rate of $1.8 million a day, according to projections widely used by engineers and project managers, the train could not be completed in this century.

Astonishing. 

• This boondoggle was supposed to have been completed two years ago at a cost of $33 billion. 
• It's nowhere close to finished, with no end in sight, and the price tag has nearly quadrupled. 
•  It's so bad questions are swirling about "whether the project can ever be finished." ...

Ever...

Seeing the light...dark.

Engelbrecht and Phillips decided that “this was a major national security risk” and immediately took the information to the FBI...
