Latest video showing Hu Jintao’s expulsion from the 20th National Congress of the CCP

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

The video at this link shows Xi Jinping and others wrangling with Hu Jintao over a speech he is not being allowed to make. I cannot clearly hear what they are saying, but a video on the linked page has subtitles that show they are wrangling a bit and Xi is demanding Hu be taken to the rest area. I do not want to get too far into the weeds over this but below is a photo of Hu’s glasses with his banned speech with Xi Jinping’s head in the foreground. Hu reportedly has very bad vision so this further prevented him from resisting. ABN

The REAL STORY of 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China: Miles Guo

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

Xi Jinping gave Hu Jintao a list of the new Standing Committee members that did not match the list of people who were supposed to be on it. All of them had been replaced by Xi’s army! ! Hu Jintao was kidnapped by “deception” and escorted from the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, and then taken directly to the Jingxi Hotel to be imprisoned. At the same time, more than 70 members of Hu’s family were ordered to be arrested and detained. Now all voices are blocked on the entire [Chinese] internet!

Straight up KOBK move by Xi. Nothing left to chance. Zero-sum. Done in public for the world to see. In China, this is an extremely strong signal. Outside of China, it remains to be seen how Xi will act and how the world will react. ABN

UPDATE: Here is a much better version of the video above, which has been speeded up. ABN

Xi Jinping tightens his grip on China: President secures historic third five-year term ensuring he is the most powerful ruler since Chairman Mao – and surrounds himself with loyalists

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

President Xi Jinping has tightened his grip on power in China after being given a historic third term as head of its ruling Communist Party.

The 69-year-old will lead the world’s most populous nation for another five years after he was confirmed as General Secretary once more at today’s televised Communist Party Congress.

In the process he promoted allies who support his vision of tighter control over society and the struggling economy, as he discarded party custom that has seen previous leaders leave after 10 years in power.

Mr Xi, who took power in 2012, is now expected by some to try and stay in power for life as he becomes the most powerful ruler since Mao Zedong.

It comes a day after remarkable scenes which saw his immediate predecessor Hu Jintao apparently forcibly removed from his seat by guards and his name removed from social media.

The danger of having a KOBK king and of being one

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

Takeaway from new top leadership of China's Communist Party? Loyalty to Xi matters above all else.

And only one man's opinion matters in China: Xi's

Originally tweeted by Selina Wang (@selinawangtv) on October 23, 2022.

Xi has become the ultimate KOBK King of China. In ruthless intraparty fighting within the CCP he has “killed” (disempowered or literally killed) all possible rivals, for now. The grim rules of KOBK are zero-sum and also even when one party wins, the game is never over. I largely disagree with comparing Putin to XI as there is little resemblance. The nameless cabal that now rules the West can be more aptly compared to Xi. Our cabal has not done massive quarantine camps and lockdowns as Xi has, but it has done lockdowns and it is quarantining people and information while also treating its enemies to ruthless KOBK searches and arrests. Far too many Westerners may as well be in a prison camp due to their fear of saying or doing the wrong thing, of appearing different or not agreeing with the consensus. ABN

What we just saw was the making of an All Xi’s Men team, the breaking of decade-long rules, and the birth of an unlimited supreme leader

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

What we just saw was the making of an All Xi’s Men team, the breaking of decade-long rules, and the birth of an unlimited supreme leader. These are not entirely surprising, but Xi’s grab of power is still beyond our expectation. He is now a truly modern emperor. 1/

Xi will rule China for not one but at least two and likely three terms (15 years). He is "only" 69 year old: Mao ruled China until his death at 83 and Deng kept CMC Chair until 1989 when he was 85. So don't expect Xi to retire before 2037. Xi's power apex just started, today. 2/

No successor. Xi is too "young" to pick up a successor. His ministers have no interest in suggesting one. Potential candidates dare not imply it. Xi's future successor is now a nobody (who is not even in the Central Committee this time). Succession may not be an issue in 2027. 3/

If anyone thinks Hu Jintao was not being expelled, watch this closeup video

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment



If anyone thinks Hu is being led out because he is ill, this video should dispel that idea. Note that Xi waited until just after international press were admitted to the hall to expel Hu. Notice also, the man to the right of Hu starts to stand to intervene or do something but the man to his right pulls on his coat to get him to sit back down. The man who stands is Li Zhanshu, a Xi ally. The man who sits him back down is Wang Huning, who is an advisor to Xi Jinping. Notice that after Li sits back down Wang puts his hands on the table and signals Li to do the same. Kicking Hu Jintao out was a strong power display by Xi and a signal to the world. The video will be censored in China but that will only make it go more viral. It is also a strong signal to everyone in China. Scroll down this page to see a longer version of this incident. ABN

Hu Jintao being forcibly escorted from the 20th Communist Party Congress closing ceremony

This is deliberate humiliation of Hu Jintao by Xi Jinping. It was done in front of international news media and surely signals a hardening of Xi’s rule. Hu was the general secretary of the Chinese Communist Party between 2002-2012 and Xi Jinping’s immediate predecessor. The general secretary of the CCP is China’s top ruler. Xi will be rubber stamped as general secretary on Sunday, making him communist China’s most powerful ruler since Mao Zedong. See this for more information: The new Central Committee on Sunday will choose the elite Politburo Standing Committee, with Xi, 69, widely expected to secure a third leadership term. ABN

UPDATE: If anyone thinks Hu is being led out because he is ill, the close-up below should dispel that idea. Note that Xi waited until just after international press were admitted to the hall to expel Hu. Notice also, the man to the right of Hu starts to stand to intervene or do something but the man to his right pulls on his coat to get him to sit back down. This exchange is clearer in the video below. The man who stands is  Li Zhanshu, a Xi ally. The man who sits him back down is Wang Huning, who is an advisor to Xi Jinping. Notice that after Li sits back down Wang puts his hands on the table and signals Li to do the same. Kicking Hu Jintao out was a strong power display by Xi and a signal to the world.

Musk’s Dangerous Vision for Twitter ~ Robert Malone

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

“We” are being manipulated into the vision of Elon being the free speech shield-bearer – but what has Musk revealed recently as to his true motivations for wanting Twitter.

Musk’s vision for Twitter is “one stop shopping.” E-commerce. He intends to bring social media, banking, auto loans, Amazon type buying, insurance, paying loans and utility bills, medical insurance, service estimates, you name it- under the umbrella of Twitter. Everything you do, buy, need – could be bought on the Twitter website. This is about power and money.

Why does he care about bot accounts? Because what he is buying is access to you, to me, to each and everyone of us on Twitter now or on Twitter in the future. He wants to know the exact number of warm bodies to sell to his investors. Remember – with the purchase of Twitter, he will have a client base maybe in the billions – before he even launches a single product! That client base includes some of the most influential, wealthy and educated people on the planet.

So, why is this such a bad thing?

Let’s go back to free speech.
