Gordon Chang: “China may be able to avoid uncontrolled crash with Evergrande”

Chang also says, “Cut all commercial and financial ties with #China. Why should we go down the tubes with #Evergrande?” and “How can #China meet all its commitments when its economy is not growing and its debt crisis—think #Evergrande—is hitting the regime hard? #XiJinping must be thinking that if he does not act soon he will not be able to act at all. That means he can lash out and surprise us.” and General #Milley, with his October and January phone calls, emboldened #China’s regime and thereby made the world so much more dangerous.”

Slovenian prime minister calls for support for Lithuania over China spat

Brussels, Sept. 15 (CNA) Slovenian Prime Minister Janez Jansa on Monday urged European Union nations to show support for Lithuania, which has reportedly faced retaliation from the Chinese government for its decision to deepen ties with Taiwan.

“Expelling the Lithuanian Ambassador from China and using trade as a weapon in a diplomatic dispute against one EU Member State is a reprehensible event which will have an impact on overall EU-China Relations,” Jansa said in a letter addressed to the European Council members, which was revealed by American media company The Politico on Wednesday.

Email from a friend: “Everything about the vax is a lie”

Everything about the vax is a lie.  Everything said about covid and vax is likely opposite of the actual truth.  It was never about protecting anyone because there was never a real pandemic to protect against.  The solution was already all baked in to the problem.  They want digital currency and control.  Also slavery. To make you a slave you have to have no sovereignty over your body and no privacy from the master.  What is the vaccine passport? It fulfils both.

Bad science, false virtue, bad laws lead to deforestation in Europe

…A flaw in the legislation meant that woody biomass was fully categorised as renewable, even if it came not just from wood residues or waste, but from whole trees. This meant that companies could directly harvest forests for pellets – rather than making pellets from the by-products of timber cut for other uses – in the name of sustainable forest management.

…Biomass, of which wood from forests is the main source, now makes up almost 60% of the EU’s renewable energy supply, more than solar and wind combined, and a vast cross-border industry has emerged to meet this demand.

‘Carbon-neutrality is a fairy tale’: how the race for renewables is burning Europe’s forests

What would you do if you wanted to foment a bloodless coup?

1. Create an international cabal of scientists to develop unique new biological weapons, funded by our taxes.  

2. Blame the ensuing epidemic on rural people for eating bats or skinning civets. [This could be the excuse to relocate them and grab their land if minerals, gas or oil are underground.] 

3. Prevent the public from accessing repurposed drugs that work against the new virus.

4. Set the blacks and whites against each other by producing widely publicized police killings.

5. Defund the police.  

6. Invent a cockamamie idea called “Critical Race Theory” that children are forced to learn in school, to further damage race relations. Never let the idea of social classes pass a teacher’s lips.

7. Fire teachers who refuse to teach this nonsense.

8. Destroy the quality of the medical system.  Turn doctors into typists.  Turn medical records into surveillance tools. Beat the medical staff into submission so they no longer have a backbone. Terrorize those who still have a voice.

9. Success is defined by having doctors comply with edicts that require harmful meds like remdesivir be used, while effective meds will not be prescribed.

10. Bankrupt Main Street.  

11. When Main Street barely starts to recover, require vaccinations to conduct transactions, dealing Main Street its death blow.

12. Buy up Main Street while it’s on its knees.

13. Use weather warfare or novel weapons to burn swathes of rural land you want to redevelop

14. Use pseudo riots to burn swathes of city property you want to redevelop, while blaming it on bad race relations.  It was a mistake to allow those pallets of bricks, delivered to the redevelopment locations, to be photographed.

15. Fire all medical staff not in compliance with vaccinations or silence, crippling the healthcare system while teaching those left that the system really means business.

16. Print as much money as possible, and spend it on junk, mostly–like unreliable rapid tests, track and trace when the pandemic is widespread everywhere.

17. This allows you to juice the case numbers to keep the public terrorized.

18. Deliver most of the now unemployed population into a state of financial reliance on the government.  Collapse the economy, and make everyone a captive of the state.

19. One simple vaccine passport gives you a tracking device, 24/7 surveillance, potential control of your subjects’ finances, and a means to regularly inject them with something to help ensure your plans don’t go awry.  And you get a social credit score, too boot.

The communist Left is winning because it’s willing to IMPOSE COSTS on its political opponents

Completely agree. And also, to use Robinson’s term, GOP itself has long been infiltrated by communists, crypto-communists, communist sympathizers, and anti-American globalists. Moreover, many in govt across the board are in bed with China’s CCP, one way or another. This is also true of academia, MSM, and many state governments. Many of these seditionists are naïve but many know and don’t care. ABN

Why South Africa the first country built on Critical Race Theory has failed

For decades, the South African economy has been shaped by a policy known as Broad Based Black Economic Employment. Despite the fancy sounding name, the policy is the same as that of activists in the United States.

BBBEE relies openly and explicitly on injecting racial preferences throughout the economy. Companies receive a BBBEE scorecard based on hiring black workers, elevating black management, and giving black South Africans a share of ownership.

Companies with high BBBEE scores are given favorable tax treatment and preferences in government contracts. Corporate actors are strongly incentivized to give contracts to high BBBEE scorers as well.

Zero daily COVID deaths in Sweden

Even a year ago, it was clear the hyperbolic claims about “the Swedish catastrophe” were false; just ask Elon Musk (also see: herehere, and here). But a year later the evidence is overwhelming that Sweden got the pandemic mostly right. Sweden’s overall mortality rate in 2020 was lower than most of Europe and its economy suffered far less. Meanwhile, today Sweden is freer and healthier than virtually any other country in Europe.

Bullshit behind “green energy”: European shit laws destroy not only Europe’s forests but USA’s as well

In 2009, the European Union (EU) pledged to curb greenhouse gas emissions, urging its member states to shift from fossil fuels to renewables. In its Renewable Energy Directive (RED), the EU classified biomass as a renewable energy source — on par with wind and solar power. As a result, the directive prompted state governments to incentivize energy providers to burn biomass instead of coal — and drove up demand for wood.

So much so that the American South emerged as Europe’s primary source of biomass imports.

Same thing is happening here due to US laws. Keeping forests forests keeps carbon out of the air and also provides beautiful habitats for wild animals, which incidentally are actually quite rare. Nuclear power would solve many energy problems, including pollution. It’s clean, safe energy unfortunately saddled with a bad reputation. ABN
