The speaker in the video is Cao Changqing (曹長青), a prominent Chinese dissident, writer, and commentator known for his outspoken criticism of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).This clip features a common argument in anti-CCP dissident circles, comparing the CCP’s historical concessions on territories like Outer Mongolia (citing Guo Moruo’s article) to its fixation on Taiwan—not for territorial reasons, but because Taiwan’s democratic system exposes the authoritarian nature of the CCP regime.Cao frequently appears in exile media and online videos discussing similar themes.
The Taiwan issue actually has nothing to do with the question of unification or independence. Because after the Communist Party seized power, it gave up territory exceeding more than 50 Taiwans. Just Outer Mongolia alone is already roughly 50 Taiwans. At the time when the Communist Party abandoned Outer Mongolia, Guo Moruo was the president of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Mao Zedong’s personal literati. He even wrote an article in the People’s Daily titled “Why We Should Cheer for the Independence of Outer Mongolia.” You can still find that article online. So, if you add in things like the Northeast, it might exceed 100 Taiwans—no exaggeration. Yes, and territories disputed with Kazakhstan, Myanmar, and Vietnam—all of them were completely abandoned by the Communist Party. Therefore, the Taiwan issue is not a territorial problem, nor is it about unification or independence, and it’s not about economics or technology either. The only reason the Communist Party wants to take Taiwan is because Taiwan’s very existence highlights the evil of the Communist Party’s dictatorship.
…According to a letter from experts in this field to the Lancet, studies of other wars – most of them far less destructive than Israel’s on the tiny enclave – indicate that between three and 15 times more people are killed by indirect, rather than direct, methods of warfare.
The authors conservatively estimate an indirect death toll four times greater than the direct death toll. That would mean, at a minimum, 350,000 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza through Israel’s actions.
The reality is likely to be even worse. That is without even mentioning the hundreds of thousands of Palestinians who have been left with horrific injuries and psychological trauma.
Israel’s war planners know exactly how this direct-to-indirect ratio works. Which is why they chose to destroy nearly every home in Gaza, to bomb the power, sanitation and water facilities, to level the hospitals, and to block aid month after month.
They knew this would be the way Israel could carry out a genocide while offering its allies – western governments and its army of lobbyists – a “get out of jail card” for their active complicity.
Donald Trump’s so-called “ceasefire” is just another layer of deception in this endless game of smoke and mirrors. The UN’s child protection agency, Unicef, reports that less than a quarter of aid trucks are getting into Gaza, past Israel’s continuing starvation blockade, despite Israeli commitments agreed as part of the “ceasefire”. Apparently, this doesn’t register as a gross ceasefire violation. It goes unnoticed.
Unicef reports further that in October alone, at the start of the “ceasefire”, nearly 18,000 new mothers and babies had to be hospitalised in Gaza from acute malnutrition.
The genocide isn’t over. Israel may have slowed the rate of direct killings it is committing by bombing Gaza, but the indirect killings continue unabated. And so does the Israeli-engineered “debate” in the West, one designed to obscure and excuse the mass murder of Gaza’s population.
The U.S. intelligence community should monitor global supply chains as part of a sweeping goal to decouple the nation’s economy from foreign adversaries and advance American economic interests, according to the Trump administration’s newly published National Security Strategy.
Published late on Thursday, the 33-page strategy document adds to Trump administration direction to federal agencies to treat economic policy as a national-security matter.
U.S. spy agencies “will monitor key supply chains and technological advances around the world to ensure we understand and mitigate vulnerabilities and threats to American security and prosperity,” the strategy reads.
Security and defense agencies have long monitored or sought to bring awareness to supply-chain issues to ensure operational security and the protection of U.S. forces; more comprehensive monitoring would require vaster efforts to discover and track where American companies and foreign rivals ship, produce and stockpile their goods and services around the world.
While the publicly released NSS calls for the end of a “perpetually expanding NATO,” the full version goes more into the details of how the Trump administration would like to—quote—“Make Europe Great Again,” even as it calls on European NATO members to wean themselves from American military support.
Working from the premise that Europe is facing “civilizational erasure” because of its immigration policies and “censorship of free speech,” the NSS proposes to focus U.S. relationships with European countries on a few nations with like-minded—right-wing, presumably—current administrations and movements.
Austria, Hungary, Italy, and Poland are listed as countries the U.S. should “work more with…with the goal of pulling them away from the [European Union].”
“And we should support parties, movements, and intellectual and cultural figures who seek sovereignty and preservation/restoration of traditional European ways of life…while remaining pro-American,” the document says.
The C5
Over the summer, President Trump made headlines when he lamented the expulsion of Russia from the Group of Eight—now the Group of Seven—as a “very big mistake.” He even suggested that he’d like to see China added to form a “G9.”
His national security strategy proposes taking this a step further, creating a new body of major powers, one that isn’t hemmed in by the G7’s requirements that the countries be both wealthy and democratically governed.
The strategy proposes a “Core 5,” or C5, made up of the U.S., China, Russia, India and Japan—which are several of the countries with more than 100 million people. It would meet regularly, as the G7 does, for summits with specific themes.
First on the C5’s proposed agenda: Middle East security—specifically, normalizing relations between Israel and Saudi Arabia.
“Hegemony wasn’t achievable”
The full NSS also spends some time discussing the “failure” of American hegemony, a term that isn’t mentioned in the publicly released version.
“Hegemony is the wrong thing to want and it wasn’t achievable,” according to the document.
In this context, hegemony refers to the leadership by one country of the world, using soft power to encourage other countries to consent to being led.
“After the end of the Cold War, American foreign policy elites convinced themselves that permanent American domination of the entire world was in the best interests of our country,” the NSS states. “Yet the affairs of other countries are our concern only if their activities directly threaten our interests.”
The White House has denied this document, claiming: ‘No alternative, private, or classified version exists’ of the publicized National Security Strategy.
If it looks like a rose and smells like a rose, it probably is a rose. I hope this is US policy, declared or otherwise. ABN
The New Apostolic Reformation, aka NAR, is a movement in evangelical churches started by C. Peter Wagner in the late 90s.
NAR is not a denomination and it does not have any set or elected leaders or *official* ideology that defines it.
Rather NAR is a hodgepodge of beliefs, rituals and practices pulled from various traditions within mainstream charismatic and Pentecostal churches.
The core belief posited by Wagner was the Christians must engage in spiritual warfare to bring about Christian dominion over all aspects of society.
When this is accomplished, the road will be paved for Christ to return.
NAR is led by apostles believed to have been appointed by God. These apostles are delegated spiritual authority that grants them authority over the entire Church- which is one of the most controversial aspects of NAR.
NAR churches do not advertise that they are NAR. And just because a church adopts one or two NAR ideas, doesn’t mean they adopt them all.
Decentralization has been key to NAR’s rapid growth.
NAR rejects many traditional church teachings around the role of women in the church. Women can become apostles and pastors in NAR churches. The most famous one being Trump’s spiritual advisor, Paula White-Cain.
The 7 Mountain Mandate has become the most important idea with the NAR movement and the one to gain the most traction.
The 7MM dictates that Christians must engage in spiritual warfare to dominate the 7 most important aspects of society:
This idea was conceived in the 1970s but revived and refined in the 2013 book “Invading Babylon: The 7 Mountain Mandate” by Lance Wallnou a televangelist and Bill Johnson, senior pastor of Bethel Church, a megachurch in Northern California.
As far as Charlie goes, these are the NAR names you need to know, in addition to those already listed above:
Rob McCoy: pastor of Godspeak Calvary Chapel in Thousand Oaks California
Sean Feucht: former worship leader at Bethel church and 2020 Congressional candidate
Jack Hibbs: senior pastor of megachurch Calvary Chapel Chino Hills
David Lane: longtime Republican consultant and activist, member of Rob McCoy’s Godspeak Calvary Chapel
For the purposes of my threads, I think that’s enough intro. If you want to go down the NAP rabbit hole, and trust me, it’s DEEP, here are a few intro links with lots of additional links of their own:
You can substitute Somali with many other clannish and tribal societies; they would say the same thing.
This explains why clans are so good at fraud and parasitism; they have no loyalty except to their clans.
The Catholic Church ended European clans by banning marriage to anyone closely and even distantly related.
This led to the famous ‘high-trust’ society the West formed after that.
For centuries this Western high-trust society, with no clans, (and low mental retardation) allowed the West to become the most creative and innovative society on earth.
Nowadays, Western blindness to our own zero-clan history is causing us to be overrun with parasitic clans and tribes that see us as easy prey, which we are because we do not understand what they are doing.
Jewish Supremist comprise a clan and act like one. This is why everyone in Congress is terrified of them and swears fealty to them at every opportunity.
It appears Somali clans in Minnesota and Maine have been paying off politicians in a fashion similar to JS payoffs and threats to Congress.
For clans and tribes, that’s how you do life. There is no other way. There is no other moral consideration.
Notice the dude in the video says Somalis ‘don’t do one-on-one, they gonna jump you… You are f*cked’.
This is another very important point Westerners have not recognized.
If anyone in a clan gets mad at you, you are f*cked.
And this explains the covert widespread attacks on young people in the West I have detailed in many posts.
But they were innocent, never did anything, you say.
You are perceived as being in a clan or different tribe, so you are f*cked for that reason, and that reason alone.
To them, taking out the young, raping and humiliating them, demoralizes your clan.
The clan mentality will destroy your entire society to preserve and further their clan.
It’s how they think.
Notice how Israel is behaving in Gaza and all along.
At the inception of the plan it was genocide and still is. When Musk and Trump call this out and act on their calls, they deserve the support of all Western peoples, and all others who support the West. ABN
In addition to setting the priorities for the United States focus, the report details the Trump administration perspective on the world as broken down into specific regions. The report is a brutally honest review of the current state of geopolitical benefits, risks and threats as they pertain to vital U.S. interests.
In addition to outlining a critically renewed focus on the Western Hemisphere, the Trump administration also notes the practical position of Europe, as it pertains to NATO and dependency on the U.S.A.
In a brutally honest review of the situation, the Trump administration notes Europe is increasingly losing their own identity. The fear the Europeans express about being vulnerable to Russian strength is hypocritical, in the sense that in practical outcomes the EU is purposefully weakening itself and simultaneously demanding assistance against their own weakness.
[PAGE 25] – American officials have become used to thinking about European problems in terms of insufficient military spending and economic stagnation. There is truth to this, but Europe’s real problems are even deeper.
Continental Europe has been losing share of global GDP—down from 25 percent in 1990 to 14 percent today—partly owing to national and transnational regulations that undermine creativity and industriousness. But this economic decline is eclipsed by the real and more stark prospect of civilizational erasure.
The larger issues facing Europe include activities of the European Union and other transnational bodies that undermine political liberty and sovereignty, migration policies that are transforming the continent and creating strife, censorship of free speech and suppression of political opposition, cratering birthrates, and loss of national identities and self-confidence.
Should present trends continue, the continent will be unrecognizable in 20 years or less. As such, it is far from obvious whether certain European countries will have economies and militaries strong enough to remain reliable allies. Many of these nations are currently doubling down on their present path. We want Europe to remain European, to regain its civilizational self-confidence, and to abandon its failed focus on regulatory suffocation.
This lack of self-confidence is most evident in Europe’s relationship with Russia.
European allies enjoy a significant hard power advantage over Russia by almost every measure, save nuclear weapons. As a result of Russia’s war in Ukraine, European relations with Russia are now deeply attenuated, and many Europeans regard Russia as an existential threat.
Managing European relations with Russia will require significant U.S. diplomatic engagement, both to reestablish conditions of strategic stability across the Eurasian landmass, and to mitigate the risk of conflict between Russia and European states.
It is a core interest of the United States to negotiate an expeditious cessation of hostilities in Ukraine, in order to stabilize European economies, prevent unintended escalation or expansion of the war, and reestablish strategic stability with Russia, as well as to enable the post-hostilities reconstruction of Ukraine to enable its survival as a viable state.
The Ukraine War has had the perverse effect of increasing Europe’s, especially Germany’s, external dependencies. Today, German chemical companies are building some of the world’s largest processing plants in China, using Russian gas that they cannot obtain at home.
The Trump Administration finds itself at odds with European officials who hold unrealistic expectations for the war perched in unstable minority governments, many of which trample on basic principles of democracy to suppress opposition. A large European majority wants peace, yet that desire is not translated into policy, in large measure because of those governments’ subversion of democratic processes. This is strategically important to the United States precisely because European states cannot reform themselves if they are trapped in political crisis.
The White House just published what Brussels has spent a decade censoring: Europe has shrunk from 25% of global GDP to 14%, is drifting toward “civilizational erasure,” and on its current course “will be unrecognizable in 20 years.” Not Russian intelligence. Not dissident analysts. Washington, in its own national strategy, marking the time of death.
Europe’s tragedy isn’t that it was defeated by an external force. Its tragedy is that it volunteered for collapse, mistaking moral vanity for strategy, self-harm for principle, and neocon applause for sovereignty. 19 rounds of sanctions meant to cripple Russia instead detonated inside Europe’s own chest cavity; industries fleeing, energy gutted, borders unmoored, farmers revolting, wages eroding, dissent criminalized under “values” crafted by technocrats who have never worked a real job, with utter contempt for Europeans.
And while Europe recited slogans, Russia built substance, built an economic juggernaut. The “gas station with nukes” they mocked is now the 4th largest economy on Earth by PPP, expanding faster than the entire European Union since the SMO began, reindustrializing, reorienting, rewiring Eurasia. The target of Europe’s crusade grew stronger, the crusaders grew poorer. This wasn’t irony. This was inevitability.
Now comes the most brutal line in the US strategy: the warning that some European states soon “may not be strong enough to remain reliable allies.” This is Washington stepping back from a burning house with the calm of an arsonist writing the incident report. The very patron that pushed Europe toward confrontation, long before Trump, is now drafting its alibi, framing Europe’s collapse as an unfortunate accident rather than the predictable consequence of policies its Deepstate encouraged and Brussels enforced with missionary zeal.
The EU won’t recognize the downloading of humiliation, because it arrived disguised as loyalty, and because the script being used to abandon the continent is the same script Europe still insists on performing.
A continent that once birthed Western civilization now prosecutes its citizens for speech, crushes its own farmers under riot shields, torches its industry for green dogma, and markets the whole spectacle as enlightenment. It surrendered its energy to ideology, its industry to Davos hallucinations, its security to America’s whims, and its future to compound interest. A civilization cannot live on abstractions, but its elites can, because they have engineered a system where the costs fall on the people and the graft float upward to those who never bear the consequences.
The NSS isn’t a strategy. It’s a confession in plain sight; Russia absorbed the blow, recalibrated, and rose; Europe dissolved into the very illusions it mistook for strength, while Washington, already preparing the next chapter, quietly wipes its hands of the consequences.
The deep, largely unrecognized, source of Europe and the West’s precipitous decline is we have been infiltrated by hostile, violent gangs which have taken over all Western high-ground.
All of our institutions have been infiltrated and turned against us.
All of them.
Consider what backward Somali gangs were able to do in just a few decades.
Had they not been caught, consider the wealth and power they would have amassed and held.
That was their motive.
Then consider gangs in the past who have quietly infiltrated the West and taken over.
Consider the payoff for their bold plan:
Immense power and wealth, control of all major Western institutions, the power to mind-control and lead Western peoples to their deaths.
That was and still is their motive.
But they are smarter than the Somalis.
Not only have they not been caught, they convinced us to pay for our own execution.
Many do not fully understand this because they are so soft and weak they refuse to contemplate the clandestine violence that has been waged for many generations against talented Western young people.
Why young people?
Because the smartest ones can be identified early and lobotomized, poisoned or maimed before they become adults.
This allows those young victims to live and cause despair and resignation in their communities, but renders them incapable of fighting back or understanding what has happened to them.
It is close to impossible to catch the poisoners and lobotomizers in the act. After one roofie, a lobotomy takes but a few minutes to perform.
And a goon can be trained to do it.
The deed can be done tens of thousands of times per year throughout the West, and very few will notice the pattern.
Put on your ruthless warrior hat and realize the deep reason the West is falling so fast.
It’s not just due to ideas, pathological altruism, the nepotism of our enemies.
‘These elites disguise their desire to prolong the war – where the poor die and the rich profit – as the “will of the people.” In reality, this is a massive disinformation campaign. Over 70% of Ukrainians support immediate peace, but their voices are suppressed by Zelensky’s regime through torture, extrajudicial persecution, and prison sentences on fabricated treason charges.’ — Artem Dmytruk
Multi Dimensional Yin Yang (MDYY) is a term I made up.
It can be used when two people are making a joint decision and discover that both of them care a lot about what the other one thinks or wants.
This kind of situation can arise between husbands and wives, good friends, or even business partners.
It’s good to have a term like this so that when weighing the factors going into a decision, this part of the weighing has a referent which both partners understand is intrinsically difficult to weigh rationally and to discuss.
MDYY is useful only when both partners care about each other and the decision they are making.
And both partners want to be honest and fair with each other and arrive at a good outcome.
In colloquial short-hand, the usefulness of MDYY arises when one partner says, my wanting to do this depends on how much you want to do it, and the other partner feels the same.
I have been using this term with my partner as we discuss a very consequential and complex decision we are making together.
Using this term allows us to set aside the MDYY aspect of our decision-making while talking about other factors that impinge on both the weighing of the decision and the final decision itself. ABN
Any and all Documents, Proclamations, Executive Orders, Memorandums, or Contracts, signed by Order of the now infamous and unauthorized “AUTOPEN,” within the Administration of Joseph R. Biden Jr., are hereby null, void, and of no further force or effect. Anyone receiving “Pardons,” “Commutations,” or any other Legal Document so signed, please be advised that said Document has been fully and completely terminated, and is of no Legal effect. Thank you for your attention to this matter!
And well he should. The people who authorized or used the autopen without Biden’s knowledge committed serious crimes, which amount to a coup d’état, a treasonous usurpation of presidential powers. The migration invasion alone is an act of treason if the autopen was used to aid or abet it. ABN
