The People’s Liberation Army (PLA), China’s powerful military arm under the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), is reportedly embroiled in political turmoil amid growing discontent over President Xi Jinping’s consolidation of power.
Tensions surfaced earlier this month when the PLA’s Central Theater Command (CTC) released a politically charged article on social media, advocating for collective leadership, democratic centralism, and decision-making through group discussions. The post notably omitted references to Xi or terms reinforcing his centralized authority, such as the “Two Establishes” and the “Two Upholds.”
The post included a photo from a study session held by the 83rd Group Army, showcasing a political slogan advocating shared decision-making over power concentration. This slogan directly challenges Xi’s tight grip on power, established since he took charge of the CCP in 2012.
The study session reportedly reviewed themes discussed during the June Political Work Conference of the Central Military Commission (CMC), chaired by Xi himself. While Xi emphasized centralized leadership, the announcement from that conference omitted phrases reinforcing his power, hinting at underlying dissent.
The article gained widespread attention, sparking debates about whether collective leadership and democratic centralism were quietly championed within the military. The PLA Daily, the official publication of the CMC, added to the discourse with commentaries endorsing collective leadership and intraparty democracy, even quoting Deng Xiaoping and Mao Zedong to criticize the excessive concentration of power.
Most Westerners know nothing about India beyond vague ideas about Hinduism, yoga, gurus, and maybe a dash of Bollywood. To such people, this article will be a rude awakening.
I grew up in Bhopal in central India. Since as early as I can remember, I worked in my father’s printing press. I studied engineering in the nearby city in Indore and went to Manchester Business School in Britain to do an MBA. I returned to India to set up a subsidiary of a British company, which was a huge success. When I lived in Delhi, I wrote for the mainstream Indian media. I traveled widely in India and around the world.
I had first returned to India with the idea of improving it, but after 11 years, I realized that India was a sinking ship, with worsening and increasingly shameless corruption, degraded people, and a society that was falling apart. I had never met an honest bureaucrat or politician. I applied to emigrate to Canada and my application was approved in a record three weeks.
I now advise East Asian and Western corporations on investing in India. Most of what I tell them sounds to them exaggerated, unrealistic, and unbelievable. After much dance, drama, and a great deal of lost money, they begin to believe what I tell them. However, this learning is never institutionalized because of a refusal to understand India. This is a form of political correctness, a poison eating away the innards of Western values.
When I was a child growing up in India, I learned that “might makes right.” Power was often abused, with those in control acting as if they had a God-given right to exploit and dominate others. The display of authority could be so extreme that questioning it or expecting those in power to do their duty might lead to retribution. Those in authority seemed to believe that their positions were not for serving others but for personal gain.
People who showed respect appeared to have meekly accepted a lower, subservient position. Kind people had to hide their compassion, for being nice was seen as a weakness.
In India, I have rarely seen someone in authority take the initiative to solve a problem he was responsible for. When I was at university, an underaged boy who worked in the kitchen was raped and sodomized by the janitors. I reported the matter, but not only did no one in authority do what was right — something well within their power — the authorities and fellow students threatened me with severe consequences if I pursued the matter further. Devoid of empathy, they also made fun of the boy and me.
All Westerners should read this article and as many more like it as they can find. What’s revealed in this article about India is true in most parts of the world in varying ways. Western values are partly genetic; overall white people tend to be submissive, mild-mannered, honest enough and thoughtful enough to create and build large societies that work pretty well. Not perfect but unparalleled in most of the rest of the world. The author of the above article finishes with the following two paragraphs:
The British were a godsend. Without them, the situation has continued to worsen. India will eventually nullify all the benefits it got from the West and revert to its pre-colonial ways. It will fall apart, and I wouldn’t be surprised if much of its population falls prey to war and famine and declines to the level it was before the arrival of Europeans.
Most Indians cannot think beyond money, sex, and survival — just what you would expect of a society with an average IQ of 77. Every Western value given to them has been caricatured and corrupted for these ends. Indians have no Ten Commandments. They are so unaware of these values that they remain oblivious even if they are forcefully presented to them. There is nothing you can do about this, except to try to understand what immigration from India and the rest of Third World will do to the West.
Japan is a major exception to the fundamental inability of most of the world to rise to Western standards or even imagine rising to them. It is derelict as well as foolish to ignore the profound genetic and cultural differences that exist in this world. It is not racism or prejudice to understand these basic human truths. It is realism. It is also important to understand that DEI and woke BS is not only destructive it has been promoted by non-Western parasites who have infested the West very deeply over the last 130 years. Westerners who support their own demise are either fools or bribed or blackmailed by the parasites, who have divided and proliferated into many ideological subgroups. We the plebs must have at least this basic understanding if we are to save ourselves from our own crazy elites and their fawning imposters. ABN
The Bilderberg Group – a secret organization of the global elite – is undergoing a leadership transformation as Donald Trump prepares to retake the White House.
The society, which consists of leaders in politics, industry, academia and the military, has selected former NATO chief Jens Stoltenberg to chair its ‘steering committee.’
Founded in 1954, the Bilderberg group has long drawn fascination for its clandestine meetings at exclusive hotels and alpine resorts where attendees hold discussions on international relations, economics and security.
Heads of the CIA and MI6 have been among its members, while Henry Kissinger was a regular alongside the likes of Bill Clinton, Bill Gates and then-Prince Charles.
Now a major power shift is afoot as Stoltenberg, who attended his first Bilderberg summit in 2002, has been tapped for his expertise in transatlantic strategy.
It comes as Trump, whose frequent attacks on NATO have sparked outrage in Europe, ascends once more to the Oval Office. The president-elect has been adamant that he will no longer spend billions in US taxpayer money to fund other countries’ wars.
Stoltenberg’s tenure at NATO was dominated by the Russia-Ukraine conflict and he proudly claimed to have overseen ‘the largest reinforcement of our collective defense in a generation.’
Many of his Bilderberg colleagues have benefited from this increased defense spending. Among them is Trump insider Peter Thiel, boss of AI giant Palantir, whose technology has been used by Ukraine in the fight against Putin.
Stoltenberg last month warned that Trump’s ‘campaign rhetoric had raised legitimate concerns about his commitment to European security.’
But the new Bilderberg boss can rest assured that if things get sticky, he now has a direct line to Trump in the form of Thiel, who has been one of the president-elect’s biggest backers.
A surprisingly good article from the Daily Mail, well-worth reading in full. Actual governance in the West is done behind the scenes in groups like Bilderberg. There is no point in not accepting that we are never going to get a Ben Franklin ‘representative’ USA again. Ofc, I am wary of what will happen next, but I am also a realist and an optimist. ABN
The surveillance state is an outcropping of the Fourth Branch of Government, which is, essentially, the unelected intelligence community in control of our government.
The surveillance state comes from the creation of the Dept of Homeland Security (DHS) which is an entirely inward-looking agency. Prior to the Patriot Act, the surveillance sweep searching for terror threats focused outward, looking outside the U.S borders. The Patriot Act took the surveillance sweep a full 360 degrees and looked inside the Homeland for terror threats. Hence, DHS was created.
The office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) was also created by the Patriot Act, and was specifically created as the pivot point to combine the surveillance sweeps. The Pentagon and CIA intel agencies sweeping outside the U.S. and the DHS sweeping inside the U.S.
It was the creation of The Dept of Homeland Security (DHS) that destroyed what remained of privacy protections within the constitution (4th amendment). Americans are no longer secure in their ‘papers and effects’, nor protected by the ‘probable cause’ need for warrants. The erosion of the 4th amendment was absolutely connected to the creation of DHS; there is zero doubt about this cause and effect.
With the ODNI and DHS created, the sub-silos of the surveillance state then began. The Transportation Safety Administration (TSA) is one agency within the Dept of Homeland Security that was an outcome. The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) also gained massive tools within this new system.
The key point behind all of this context is what I refer to as the ‘Surveillance State.’ American citizens have lost all privacy protections within this new system of surveillance, that has extended far beyond even what most people fathom.
When you understand the root origin of the Surveillance State, then the discussion turns to what we have accepted within its creation, and what is the current status of American Liberty as an outcome of it.
The fact that this system was weaponized by Barack Obama and Joe Biden to target their political opposition is only one aspect of this dynamic. Yes, it is a big issue, and yes what they did was horrific, corrupt and in my opinion unlawful. However, their ability to weaponize this system only existed because the domestic surveillance state was created and authorized by the legislative branch of government.
Now we are left arguing about who controls a system that should never have been authorized…
Donald Trump has made his strongest bid yet to take over Canada, offering the Canadian people a 60 percent tax cut if they agree to join the US and become the 51st US state.
On Christmas, Trump escalated his campaigns against the governments of both Panama and Canada.
‘Merry Christmas to all, including to the wonderful soldiers of China, who are lovingly, but illegally, operating the Panama Canal (where we lost 38,000 people in its building 110 years ago), always making certain that the United States puts in Billions of Dollars in “repair” money, but will have absolutely nothing to say about “anything,”‘ Trump wrote on Truth Social on Wednesday.
‘Also, to Governor Justin Trudeau of Canada, whose Citizens’ Taxes are far too high, but if Canada was to become our 51st State, their Taxes would be cut by more than 60%, their businesses would immediately double in size, and they would be militarily protected like no other Country anywhere in the World.
‘Likewise, to the people of Greenland, which is needed by the United States for National Security purposes and, who want the U.S. to be there, and we will!’
