The unreported humanitarian crisis exploding in Shanghai; Musk backs off a board seat; more bad news for dems; Fauci says something remarkable; and the Times wants reporters to stop tweeting so much.

A good way to transform our nation?
Daily I will do these 8 things, to be the change I wish to see in the world.
1. I will strive to do what is right, be good, and pursue truth in all things.
2. I will strive to continually love my parents, kids, neighbors, and myself.
3. I will strive to continue reading, learning, teaching, and contributing.
4. I will defend Biological Integrity, Informed Consent, and Parental Rights.
5. I will defend our National, State, and Individual Sovereignty, and preserve our Constitutional Democratic Republic (the constitution, the democratic process, and the republic).
6. I will empower light-triad types, while disempowering dark-triad types, rejecting those who seek unrestrained wealth, power, and control.
7. I will take holistic responsibility for my own health: body, mind, and spirit.
8. I will respect and care for the planet, its ecosystems, and creatures.
Nah, too much room for interpretation here. Let's pretend I'm a stereotypical MSNBC fan who would never indulge such a vile source of misinformation as C&C. Here's what I'd think:
1. Vaccines are right and good and true!
2. I will protect my loved ones by wearing a mask!
3. I'm going to read every article in the NYT and The Atlantic and then tweet about them!
4. Something something abortion and book banning
5. Because Jan 6 was worse than Sept 11!
6. Down with Trump!
7. Getting boosted is the responsible thing to do!
8. Green New Deal! Clean energy! Greta!
...so if everybody follows these guidelines as written, they'll just keep doing what they've always been doing, and nothing will change.
You are correct for 33% of society (at most). I tend to believe, or want to believe that 66% of society, aka the SUPERMAJORITY is reasonable, and can be intellectually honest, if they choose to be. This 66% are the people who can see the 8x8^8 concept as reasonable, and it's points as 'first principles' of sorts. This is my first draft of the concept, and maybe some points need to change, my goal was to get the idea out in the 'public space' for feedback.
We need to create a SUPERMAJORITY STANDARD, and from there we can debate and divide on the millions of lessor issues.
I have a similar idea for politics; with politics the 'standard' is the "Constitutional Democratic Republic", or "The Constitutional Democratic Republican Party" and this creates the framework that the supermajority agrees on, then from there we divide on the specific policy issues and general governance strategies; within that framework.
Thank you for sharing about the humanitarian crisis in Shanghai. As a Ukrainian, this situation reminds me of the hunger-genocide of 1932-1933; food shortages, rations, mass murders, government corruption and cover-up for decades. Except we're in 2022 now... If there are any ways to provide assistance, please share. The people are innocent...
Of all the places that got free when the Soviet Union ceased to exist I was hoping for Ukraine the most to have a great time. After what was done to them under Stalin/Lysenko they deserved it. Sadly they got 2 decades of corruption and then the USA overthrew the democratically elected government in 2014 and it's been downhill since.
Old saying but true: "Spooks start wars. Armies end them." and I would add "The people always suffer the most".
What no one is talking about is why is the CCP doing this to its own people? Are they just psychopathic control freaks that cannot admit zero Covid was a fantasy? Or do they know something we aren't being told about the long term harm caused by the spike protein? The more I study the spike the more I'm concerned it's the latter. It is extremely nasty, particularly in regards to clotting and fibrin build up. It can age a healthy adult's vascular system by decades.
Hungry people overthrow governments. Would the CCP risk revolution and being toppled just because it can't admit it was wrong? Perhaps, but I'm afraid the answer likely isn't that simple. The Chinese government knows the spike protein better than anyone and they are freaking out. We need to be asking why.
Don't take the vax, get metabolically healthy, and start early treatment at the first sign of illness. You don't want this virus getting a foothold.
"why is the CCP doing this to its own people?" - No idea personally but there are some ideas being floated around.
First: "block trade with the USA" or cause supply disruptions for the USA is a real possibility. The Chinese can always say "We didn't break contracts. It was the virus". See how convenient and versatile this "planscamdemic" can be?
Second: "something much worse than covid has been released". Given the lack of deaths I doubt that one but it could be a delayed onset virus. There are as many bio-weapons as their are munitions (bullets to artillery shells).
Bear in mind that it's the CCP who is claiming "no deaths". IIRC they also claim that they had basically no COVID deaths in the rest of the last two years either, so you can make up your own mind how much you want to believe them on that...
Your first thought is right in line with what John Paul, of the "Things hidden in Complexity" substack, has been writing about for some time. It's a hybrid war tactic:
I started with one of his articles yesterday and couldn't stop! If you want to understand how convoluted and interdependent the supply chain mess is, I highly recommend reading "Things hidden in Complexity".
The word "RATIONING" is trending in the media as as Asia supply chains are disrupted with contrived lockdowns. Mothers targeted as Walgreens rations baby formula. They're after your children - (David Dubyne) https://youtu.be/nhaB-WCEALE?t=132
It's also a possibility that the CCP just genuinely believes so much in their own communist mythos that they consider it impossible that the people would ever rise up against them. Why, they are acting "for the good of the people", how could anyone object to that?
And it's natural to assume that they didn't intend the mass starvation; this is simply a symptom of central planning which the leadership continue to be in denial about - "we will build an efficient system to get food to people, of course it will not fail, we are the wise and infallible People's leadership".
Global Depopulation means fewer customers for Chinese export. This translates to less need for Chinese labor and container ships as some nations revert to self-sufficiency in the midst of depopulation. Easy math?
Kudos to Jeff for covering Shanghai! I read a lot of news. The only allusions I saw to any problems for Shanghai residents was a Twitter thread chronicling the difficulty some residents were having ordering food deliveries and an article about euthanizing pets due to COVID (which the CCP has done in the past). Both were a far cry from the catastrophe described by Jeff. I'd love to know his sources...
Where will our "humanitarian aid" come from? If the food supply shortage is as bad as the government (who's probably hoarding it all for themselves) says it's gonna be, who's gonna save us (US) for a change?
If you follow the Twitter thread , you will see that there is an abundance of food going to waste on the outskirts of the cities due to government regulations “ delivery issues” .
This is absolutely appalling and the worst crimes against humanity we have seen since Nazi Genocide. This is a pivotal moment for the world .. yet the Biden regime and our MSM remain silent … it has never been more obvious where their allegiance lies.
During the Great Depression, Americans starved because of government rules and regulations to kill farm animals to maintain prices and other stupid diktats. It wasn't a lack of food production that caused people to starve. It's always the same everywhere when government gets involved with ideas and solutions.
Bill Gates. He describes himself as a philanthropic capitalist. It sounds nice but how it works is -
Essentially he buys/invests in something he wants to promote such as polio vaccine, co\/ va€€ine pharma or farmland. Then he causes a problem and is the savior and gets richer.
Don't even know what to say about Shanghai...or China in general...or the sickness that is communism and its unavoidable depraved outcomes...
As for young people -- despite the indoctrination into so much degraded thinking and disloyalty to individual liberty -- they represent the only group for whom I have compassion. Imagine being a young person of sufficient age to be able to look around and take in the idiocy and cowardice of the "grown ups" that surround you and control your life? Your "parents". Your "teachers". Your "political leaders" who deprived you of your life as they violated their oaths to the Constitution. Your "church leaders" who reinforced how obedience is good -- even with that which is provably evil and who cooperated with the closure of services. The police who enforced illegal edicts -- breaking their oaths. "Doctors" who in 2019 would assure you that they are part of the best, most super-duperest medical care system in the world but who, in 2020, agreed that treating the symptoms of a severe respiratory infection was beyond their ken.
Does "democrat" or "republican" really matter at this point? Fidelity to liberty, fealty to Constitutional oaths, and unwavering commitment to basic human rights -- that's what matters. And young people saw virtually none of it...in "America".
Indeed. The suffering and death that this crime has caused..?
It 𝙝𝙤𝙧𝙧𝙞𝙛𝙞𝙚𝙙 me that aside from a very small circle of friends and family, every one of the members of the "laptop class" (of which I too was a member) that I knew went along with the shutdown. To think that virtually all of the professionals with whom I'd worked thought that this criminal act was a good idea forever changed my POV on people, on business "leaders", etc. Who needs the CCP when you have "Americans" like this?
𝙍𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩? So, so true, Harold. Of the many thoughts I've had over the last two years on this horror show, one of them relates to my bygone days of air travel. I've thought to myself, geez, all the times I've chatted with the "nice" person next to me...The very high likelihood is that virtually all those fellow passengers that I thought were "nice" are the same people who over the last two years demonstrated abject disregard for freedom -- complete disloyalty to that precious jewel -- while demanding the rest of us do the same.

To give some hope. China has the largest and fastest growing base for Christianity of anywhere in the world. The Chinese people are hungry to know God. God is on the move.

I hope they are not reading, “Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God. Therefore whoever resists the authorities resists what God has appointed, and those who resist will incur judgment. For rulers are not a terror to good conduct, but to bad. Would you have no fear of the one who is in authority? Then do what is good, and you will receive his approval, for he is God’s servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword in vain. For he is the servant of God, an avenger who carries out God’s wrath on the wrongdoer. Therefore one must be in subjection, not only to avoid God’s wrath but also for the sake of conscience.”
Did not open video; have seen similar. The violence and depravity are horrific, the beating of people and clubbing animals repeatedly, not even delivering a quick and merciful death. 😢😥
While I am absolutely grateful for the tsunami of voters crashing into the Republican party, please, please everyone, do your due diligence EVEN WITH THE REPUBLICANS.
My state statehouse is FULL of RINOs. They all SAY they are pro-freedom, against mandates, pro-parents knowing what kids are being taught in schools, pro life, pro-election integrity, etc, etc, etc
Let me tell you what they did this session:
1) failed to pass either of two bills that would have forbidden CRT in schools, would have required teaching that America is an exceptional country (or something like that) and why, and would have required schools to make curriculum available for parental review.
2) failed to get out of committee a bill that would have closed loopholes that currently allow pornographic material in our school libraries (!!!!)
3) passed a v🪓 exemption bill that merely requires employers to follow Title VII of Civil Rights Act for religious exemption (because apparently the state lawmakers think that employers will listen to them even tho they haven’t been listening to the feds?), allow up to twice weekly testing and masks for unV employees (discrimination!!!) AND does not require that testing be at no cost to employee.
4) failed to pass a Protection at Conception bill. I don’t know details of the bill or where it stalled out in the legislative process. But for a supermajority who claims to love life, they certainly did nothing to demonstrate that.
5) claim to improve election integrity in our state by requiring electronic machines to print paper ballots. I’ve since learned that a number of these machines simply print a receipt on thermal paper (that stuff degrades faster than leftover pizza left out of the fridge). And, whose to say the machines can’t be hacked and fraudulent votes recorded, and the paper ballots merely reflect the fraud. And most of the incumbents are quite fine with early voting.
Also, many of the fresh faces challenging the RINOs have not been allowed to be on the ballot due to local county party opposition. New rules were passed last year, but largely unknown to many, and so many new candidates were unable to run. My own state rep challenger was told by our county chairman that the candidate would not be provided the customary list of previous Republican primary voters in the district. 😳 Understandably, this makes a targeted, cost-effective campaign exponentially more difficult and nearly unattainable. Fortunately my candidate was able to obtain the list by other means. And we have since been told that what the chairman did is illegal!!!!
So, try to vote with your eyes open! And research those local precinct committeemen and others! They have more influence than we have realized!!!!
Yes! And don’t forget the 80 Republicans who voted for the Vaccine Database. HR 550 Immunization Infrastructure Modernization Act. 5 Texas Republicans voted for this bill.
I know so many good people who think that when they go vote and vote Republican they’ve done their part. I like a comment I saw recently; ‘I don’t understand people talking about Rinos as though they were a small subgroup of the Republican Party. I don’t think in general that Republicans like us. They are always voting against us.’
John McCain led the way and wrote the playbook for lying about your conservative beliefs to win the election and then going full blown lefty and smirking about it.
And he got his corpse hauled around the country and treated to all manner of ceremonial dignities at a half dozen or so funerals. You gotta wonder how many find him the perfect role model. If only they could see him in Hell today.
This is critically important, and in my imagination I see my own state party leaders here in Florida happy to see this type of 'new Republican,' because so many in the R Party all over the nation are really standard-issue UniParty Swamp RINOs, even when they pretend publicly to be otherwise. The more of this type of 'Republican' that joins, the less attention they have to pay to MAGA constitutionalists. Only the D & R Parties have name recognition, huge budgets, and a presence in every county in the nation, so a third party is unlikely to do anything but make our side lose, when we should be winning. I point out to others that the socialist/communists aren't running under a third-party label (x Bernie), but instead are slowly but surely taking over the D Party for themselves! Please, please, can Rs be as smart and organized as socialist/communists for once? *All of us* should at least watch/read what is available at precinctstrategy.com and if at all possible fill one of the ~1/2 of the empty Republican Precinct Committeeman/woman slots in every county in the nation. These are the grassroots voting members of the Party (not the public election ballots; the Party itself). Everything Copernicus describes is because of those empty Republican Precinct Committeeman/woman (PCM/W) seats at county level. Who are the active Party members? PCM/Ws. Who elects each county's Chair and State Committeemen/women? PCM/Ws. Who elects the state R Party executive officers and National Committeemen/women? Chairs and State Committeemen/women. Who controls the budget and direction of the state party? The state R Party executive officers. Who directs the national R Party? Each state's National Committeemen/women. It all feeds up from the county PCM/Ws. Who can recruit and vet primary candidates, to help the MAGA/constitutionalist ones? PCM/Ws. Who can GET VOTER INFORMATION FROM THE COUNTY SUPV OF ELECTIONS (ATTN: Copernicus) and contact them to educate them and turn out the vote IN PRIMARY ELECTIONS, where it counts the most because turnout is lower, so easier to win, and because there's a chance to overturn the UniParty Swamp RINO candidate? PCM/Ws. It isn't a huge time commitment, BUT YOU NEED TO HAVE GOOD PRIMARY CANDIDATES. How to recruit and vet candidates? Watch this excellent training video from Rescue Michigan: https://rumble.com/vqe91o-candidate-recruitment-and-vetting.html
Thank you very much for this info, Fla Mom. Husband and I escaped the northeast last year, now living on the FL Panhandle. The precinct strategy looks intriguing. Will have to take a look at the Rumble video, as well. Thanks again!
According to Susan Page of the Cook Report, Republicans in the House are likely to see only a 12-seat gain--not the huge gains some outlets predict. She may be off by a mile, but we should temper our expectations.
I doubt the Chinese people will talk about their government’s human rights violations when the lockdown is lifted.
At my previous employer there was a young Chinese engineer who had never heard about some of the events in China that we were discussing. Initially she didn’t believe us until an older Chinese engineer confirmed they had happened. She asked him why no one talked about it over there, and he told her people aren’t allowed to. She asked her parents when they came to visit and got the same answer. They also explained what happens to people who do. She was so shocked and disgusted that she chose to become a U.S. citizen.
Doesn't need to be public discourse. Depending on who comprises your inner circle, talking in private about atrocities, voicing doubt or disagreement can get a person arrested. The methods of Mao are present, even if he is not. The stress must be enormous, and constant, wondering if someone you know, even family, might turn in your name if they are dedicated to the regime, or have cause for acting in desperation.
I taught English as a second language to Spanish-speakers in Miami long ago, and the husband in one Cuban family, who was my student, told me about hiding his and his wife's true opinions from their own children, to prevent being turned in by them, before they were able to get legally to Mexico and then to the U.S.
Anyone who talks about it publicly will be disappeared to both shut them up and to send a message to the rest of the population ...this is what happens when you don't bow the knee to the CCP.
I met a Chinese doctor at a medical meeting in the early 2000s who told me she didn't know she was living in a totalitarian state until she was ordered to live in a distant city on finishing her medical training, instead of where she intended to live, Beijing, her home and where her parents and fiancé lived. He and she got out on some sort of student visas, I think, and they're now Americans.
I fear Pelosi's prediction is more about rigged elections to stay in power in perpetuity than influencing people to vote democrat. The depth of her depravity seems to have no bottom.
This. This is why I don’t get excited about all the talk of a red wave. The left has a well rehearsed bag of tricks. When Biden said “I don’t need your votes.” back in 2019, he spoke truth. Even the relative freedom we’re experiencing here in Florida is fragile and we need to be on high alert and active as we can be in local politics. City Council and school boards need to see us.
Allegedly, she has said IF there are elections in November and Republicans win the dumocraps will NOT vacate their seats. So....cheat one way or cheat another. It's all they know.
Nancy Pelosi's father was Mayor of Baltimore, Maryland from May 16, 1947 – May 16, 1959. According to wikipedia.... "D'Alesandro was a strong contender for Governor of Maryland in 1954, but dropped out after being implicated in receiving undeclared money from Dominic Piracci, a parking garage owner convicted of fraud, conspiracy, and conspiracy to obstruct justice.[6]" ............... Her brother was Mayor of Baltimore from December 1967 – December 1971, over the period of time of the April 1968 riots. According to wikipedia , "The Baltimore riot of 1968 was a period of civil unrest that lasted from April 6 to April 14, 1968, in Baltimore. The uprising included crowds filling the streets, burning and looting local businesses, and confronting the police and national guard." and "In the next few days,[when?] six people died, 700 were injured, and 5,800 were arrested. 1,000 small businesses were damaged or robbed.[11] Property damages, assessed financially, were more severe in DC ($15 million), Baltimore ($12 million), and Chicago ($10 million) than in any other cities.[1]" ...........................also the #2 person in the U.S. House.... Rep Steny Hoyer from Maryland ..... according again to wikipedia "For four years, from 1962 to 1966, Hoyer was a member of the staff of United States Senator Daniel Brewster (D-Maryland); also on Senator Brewster's staff at that time was Nancy Pelosi, who would later become a leadership colleague of Hoyer's.[9]"
Conservatives get labeled with all sorts of BS liberal garbage, one of them being "putting profits before people." It's just a tagline to throw in for their low IQ base to run with, of course. (All indications are that the BLM founders didn't exactly put people before profits.) Money isn't everything, but in this world, it's right up there with oxygen.
There is so much information in this article I don’t know where to begin. Thank you for sharing about the crisis in Shanghai, it is truly disgusting what the CCP is doing. Fauci is continually exposing his ass in public and should retire to avoid any further public humiliation. As a resident of NJ, you confirmed my speculation Murphy cheated to win the November election. I do not know one person that voted for that POS yet he won.
No WAY. Karma is a bitch Murphy..and it is coming for you.
Tears came to my eyes reading about the Shanghai human rights horror. So many American executives think their system is good. Nobody seems to get that communism is evil.
As an ICU nurse all through covid, I noticed ALL of our PPE is made in China. All of it. Got fired last year for not taking the jab, but I’m sure it all still is....
Like wheat. Like those rolling fields of wheat throughout almost the country? Just stop exporting it! And a food shortage??? In one of the most environmentally diverse countries that can grow literally anything? Why would the US even have a food shortage? It’s not possible. Unless we stop exporting so much of it and clear the lines to get it to people. That or just have it available locally, I.e. grow your own/farmers markets.
🙌 Amen! --- The wheat is what I think of every time I read about Ukraine and Russia being the breadbasket of the world. That's what we used to be called! When did we stop growing it? It's still grown around here in the Mid-west. 😳
It's not just wheat. Take a look in the produce section of your local grocery store. Almost everything is imported from somewhere else. Almost all of ours is exported to other countries.
There used to be a time perhaps 25 years ago, maybe more, when you could consciously avoid buying products made in China. Now it's almost impossible because it seems like virtually everything is made there.
Double yep. The Korean and Vietnam veterans and those soldiers who lost their lives in those wars must be turning over in their graves knowing the CCP is now our bestest friend.
The reporters are covering up for China because as Trudeau stated, China is the dream for Western Politicians. China has the ability to ‘turn their economy on a dime.’ Even if reporters wanted to write about the current horrors, the legacy media would never run with the story. This is chilling.
I figured the Democratic Party was gonna destroy themselves pushing folks too far with lockdowns, mask, mandates, CRT and a host of other lame brained policies.
And I wonder why would they drive everyone into the arms of the Republicans?
It was exciting to see the Democrats doing this to themselves until you remember the Republicans and Democrats are one and the same.
Neither party represents “We the people” they call it by-partisan, when they vote in unison but, the truth is there’s no difference in either parties ideology.
So what if the Republicans end up in total control in 22’.
They are RINO’s who have proven themselves worthless, spineless and yes traitors.
Both Parties and multinational corporations contrived to steal the 2020 election simply because Trump stood in the way of WEF’s goal of controlling the wealth of our economy, the entire planet’s economy.
Prove me wrong!!
Even now Federal Government and multinational corporations along with MSM are controlling the narrative.
But those who can think for themselves already know this.
Yeah, for sure, I just meant that my "they are our mortal enemies" was directed in *this* instance at Trudeau, Obama, et al. Not that China *isn't*, but I wanted to be clear that IMO Trudeau and Obama, et al, are enemies of the West and of freedom and liberty in just about every way possible.
To be even more specific: I stand with ‘we the people’ of Shanghai.
This distinction should always be considered everywhere. We live in the land of the free, home of the brave, and even here it seems “our” government is very often a separate beast of its own, a beast which often does not reflect the will of “we the people” in any way.
We see this distinction here, because we live here, but we often forget, or ignore the fact that for most of the world, “we the people” of other countries have even less say and control than we do.
Agree re specifying because unfortunately, many are only readers of headlines and form opinions on what they think they see. Standing with Ukraine is short and clear because they are standing against another country. Standing w Shanghai might be interpreted either way.
Unfortunately, another aspect is that to us, "We the people" conveys our beliefs of being free people with inalienable rights. It's a significant factor for those making a decision to escape tyranny. And it's a difficult concept to grasp for those whose dictatorships are not vastly different than centuries of governance by war lords and emperors.
I'm so grateful for the Fauci pronouncement. I can finally open my vitamin D3 without feeling guilty.
I giggled! Out loud! Lol
It's liberating to walk on the wild side, eh? 🥳
You're such a nut, Eric! 😂🤣😂🤣
😂😂👍🏻

Here’s the weirdest part …none of that really takes any striving on our part if we do what’s right to begin with🤷♀️🙏🏻
🎯Uncommon sense.
Sad, but true, huh?
Dr Malone, right? Awesome speech yesterday in Cali.
Nah, too much room for interpretation here. Let's pretend I'm a stereotypical MSNBC fan who would never indulge such a vile source of misinformation as C&C. Here's what I'd think:
1. Vaccines are right and good and true!
2. I will protect my loved ones by wearing a mask!
3. I'm going to read every article in the NYT and The Atlantic and then tweet about them!
4. Something something abortion and book banning
5. Because Jan 6 was worse than Sept 11!
6. Down with Trump!

8. Green New Deal! Clean energy! Greta!
...so if everybody follows these guidelines as written, they'll just keep doing what they've always been doing, and nothing will change.
You are correct for 33% of society (at most). I tend to believe, or want to believe that 66% of society, aka the SUPERMAJORITY is reasonable, and can be intellectually honest, if they choose to be. This 66% are the people who can see the 8x8^8 concept as reasonable, and it's points as 'first principles' of sorts. This is my first draft of the concept, and maybe some points need to change, my goal was to get the idea out in the 'public space' for feedback.
We need to create a SUPERMAJORITY STANDARD, and from there we can debate and divide on the millions of lessor issues.
I have a similar idea for politics; with politics the 'standard' is the "Constitutional Democratic Republic", or "The Constitutional Democratic Republican Party" and this creates the framework that the supermajority agrees on, then from there we divide on the specific policy issues and general governance strategies; within that framework.
Do "Republic." There's still people in that 66% that would freak if it said, "Republican."
"Something, something, abortion, and book banning." --- 😂🤣😂🤣 This one just struck me as so funny! (Probably, because it sounds like them.)
You my friend are on the right track!! I am volunteering to be the first of your 8, and, I raise you 15!
I share C&C with 6 others daily. Does that count?
Absolutely, Brian!!
I love this!
Cool. Amway for society.

Trying to figure out which of my domains I should use for this concept, at present I am thinking DailyProgress.org or MajorityMovement.org ?
Personal opinion: Daily Progress sounds more positive for everyone. Some might not want to be associated with what they perceive as the "majority."
Thank you for sharing about the humanitarian crisis in Shanghai. As a Ukrainian, this situation reminds me of the hunger-genocide of 1932-1933; food shortages, rations, mass murders, government corruption and cover-up for decades. Except we're in 2022 now... If there are any ways to provide assistance, please share. The people are innocent...
Of all the places that got free when the Soviet Union ceased to exist I was hoping for Ukraine the most to have a great time. After what was done to them under Stalin/Lysenko they deserved it. Sadly they got 2 decades of corruption and then the USA overthrew the democratically elected government in 2014 and it's been downhill since.
Old saying but true: "Spooks start wars. Armies end them." and I would add "The people always suffer the most".
What no one is talking about is why is the CCP doing this to its own people? Are they just psychopathic control freaks that cannot admit zero Covid was a fantasy? Or do they know something we aren't being told about the long term harm caused by the spike protein? The more I study the spike the more I'm concerned it's the latter. It is extremely nasty, particularly in regards to clotting and fibrin build up. It can age a healthy adult's vascular system by decades.
Hungry people overthrow governments. Would the CCP risk revolution and being toppled just because it can't admit it was wrong? Perhaps, but I'm afraid the answer likely isn't that simple. The Chinese government knows the spike protein better than anyone and they are freaking out. We need to be asking why.
Don't take the vax, get metabolically healthy, and start early treatment at the first sign of illness. You don't want this virus getting a foothold.
Communist regimes are evil and devoid of a spiritual center.
"why is the CCP doing this to its own people?" - No idea personally but there are some ideas being floated around.
First: "block trade with the USA" or cause supply disruptions for the USA is a real possibility. The Chinese can always say "We didn't break contracts. It was the virus". See how convenient and versatile this "planscamdemic" can be?
Second: "something much worse than covid has been released". Given the lack of deaths I doubt that one but it could be a delayed onset virus. There are as many bio-weapons as their are munitions (bullets to artillery shells).
Bear in mind that it's the CCP who is claiming "no deaths". IIRC they also claim that they had basically no COVID deaths in the rest of the last two years either, so you can make up your own mind how much you want to believe them on that...
I believe them as much as I believe CDC/FDA/WHO. The only accurate number is total/excess deaths.
Your first thought is right in line with what John Paul, of the "Things hidden in Complexity" substack, has been writing about for some time. It's a hybrid war tactic:

I started with one of his articles yesterday and couldn't stop! If you want to understand how convoluted and interdependent the supply chain mess is, I highly recommend reading "Things hidden in Complexity".
Thanks. I'll check it out

It's also a possibility that the CCP just genuinely believes so much in their own communist mythos that they consider it impossible that the people would ever rise up against them. Why, they are acting "for the good of the people", how could anyone object to that?
And it's natural to assume that they didn't intend the mass starvation; this is simply a symptom of central planning which the leadership continue to be in denial about - "we will build an efficient system to get food to people, of course it will not fail, we are the wise and infallible People's leadership".
"this is simply a symptom of central planning" - Bingo!!!

Global Depopulation means fewer customers for Chinese export. This translates to less need for Chinese labor and container ships as some nations revert to self-sufficiency in the midst of depopulation. Easy math?
Kudos to Jeff for covering Shanghai! I read a lot of news. The only allusions I saw to any problems for Shanghai residents was a Twitter thread chronicling the difficulty some residents were having ordering food deliveries and an article about euthanizing pets due to COVID (which the CCP has done in the past). Both were a far cry from the catastrophe described by Jeff. I'd love to know his sources...
Where will our "humanitarian aid" come from? If the food supply shortage is as bad as the government (who's probably hoarding it all for themselves) says it's gonna be, who's gonna save us (US) for a change?
If you follow the Twitter thread , you will see that there is an abundance of food going to waste on the outskirts of the cities due to government regulations “ delivery issues” .
This is absolutely appalling and the worst crimes against humanity we have seen since Nazi Genocide. This is a pivotal moment for the world .. yet the Biden regime and our MSM remain silent … it has never been more obvious where their allegiance lies.
During the Great Depression, Americans starved because of government rules and regulations to kill farm animals to maintain prices and other stupid diktats. It wasn't a lack of food production that caused people to starve. It's always the same everywhere when government gets involved with ideas and solutions.
Bill Gates. He describes himself as a philanthropic capitalist. It sounds nice but how it works is -
Essentially he buys/invests in something he wants to promote such as polio vaccine, co\/ va€€ine pharma or farmland. Then he causes a problem and is the savior and gets richer.
Don't get me started on that piece of excrement. He's just evil. A living demon on Earth. 😱🤬
Don't even know what to say about Shanghai...or China in general...or the sickness that is communism and its unavoidable depraved outcomes...
As for young people -- despite the indoctrination into so much degraded thinking and disloyalty to individual liberty -- they represent the only group for whom I have compassion. Imagine being a young person of sufficient age to be able to look around and take in the idiocy and cowardice of the "grown ups" that surround you and control your life? Your "parents". Your "teachers". Your "political leaders" who deprived you of your life as they violated their oaths to the Constitution. Your "church leaders" who reinforced how obedience is good -- even with that which is provably evil and who cooperated with the closure of services. The police who enforced illegal edicts -- breaking their oaths. "Doctors" who in 2019 would assure you that they are part of the best, most super-duperest medical care system in the world but who, in 2020, agreed that treating the symptoms of a severe respiratory infection was beyond their ken.
Does "democrat" or "republican" really matter at this point? Fidelity to liberty, fealty to Constitutional oaths, and unwavering commitment to basic human rights -- that's what matters. And young people saw virtually none of it...in "America".
Lockdowns end up killing more people than the alleged disease.... Occam's razor says this is the goal of the CCP.
Indeed. The suffering and death that this crime has caused..?
It 𝙝𝙤𝙧𝙧𝙞𝙛𝙞𝙚𝙙 me that aside from a very small circle of friends and family, every one of the members of the "laptop class" (of which I too was a member) that I knew went along with the shutdown. To think that virtually all of the professionals with whom I'd worked thought that this criminal act was a good idea forever changed my POV on people, on business "leaders", etc. Who needs the CCP when you have "Americans" like this?
It's only necessary to be polite in order to seem like good people.
𝙍𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩? So, so true, Harold. Of the many thoughts I've had over the last two years on this horror show, one of them relates to my bygone days of air travel. I've thought to myself, geez, all the times I've chatted with the "nice" person next to me...The very high likelihood is that virtually all those fellow passengers that I thought were "nice" are the same people who over the last two years demonstrated abject disregard for freedom -- complete disloyalty to that precious jewel -- while demanding the rest of us do the same.
Hell on earth is being born in Communist China.

Can’t bring myself to watch the video from Shanghai. But this is my prayer regarding that situation, a well as all the other evil we are steeped in:
“[The wicked] says to himself, ‘God has forgotten;
He has hidden His face;
He will never see it.’
Arise, O Lord; O God, lift up Your hand.
Do not forget the afflicted…
Break the arm of the wicked and the evildoer,
Seek out his wickedness until You find none…
O Lord, You have heard the desire of the humble;
You will strengthen their heart,
You will incline Your ear
To vindicate the orphan and the oppressed,
So that man who is of the earth will no longer cause terror.”
Psalms 10:11-12, 15, 17-18 NASB1995
To give some hope. China has the largest and fastest growing base for Christianity of anywhere in the world. The Chinese people are hungry to know God. God is on the move.
I heard China just banned the word Christ on their social media platform. They said it was a word of incitement.
Why yes it is.
Thank you for the reminder!

I hope they are not reading, “Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God. Therefore whoever resists the authorities resists what God has appointed, and those who resist will incur judgment. For rulers are not a terror to good conduct, but to bad. Would you have no fear of the one who is in authority? Then do what is good, and you will receive his approval, for he is God’s servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword in vain. For he is the servant of God, an avenger who carries out God’s wrath on the wrongdoer. Therefore one must be in subjection, not only to avoid God’s wrath but also for the sake of conscience.”
Romans 13:1-5 ESV
https://www.bible.com/59/rom.13.1-5.esv
Don't watch the video. It's gut wrenching and horrific. Just keep praying for them and for us, as our government has become almost as evil.
Did not open video; have seen similar. The violence and depravity are horrific, the beating of people and clubbing animals repeatedly, not even delivering a quick and merciful death. 😢😥
Well, it is China. They might want to take the animals home for dinner.
Amen!
While I am absolutely grateful for the tsunami of voters crashing into the Republican party, please, please everyone, do your due diligence EVEN WITH THE REPUBLICANS.
My state statehouse is FULL of RINOs. They all SAY they are pro-freedom, against mandates, pro-parents knowing what kids are being taught in schools, pro life, pro-election integrity, etc, etc, etc
Let me tell you what they did this session:
1) failed to pass either of two bills that would have forbidden CRT in schools, would have required teaching that America is an exceptional country (or something like that) and why, and would have required schools to make curriculum available for parental review.
2) failed to get out of committee a bill that would have closed loopholes that currently allow pornographic material in our school libraries (!!!!)
3) passed a v🪓 exemption bill that merely requires employers to follow Title VII of Civil Rights Act for religious exemption (because apparently the state lawmakers think that employers will listen to them even tho they haven’t been listening to the feds?), allow up to twice weekly testing and masks for unV employees (discrimination!!!) AND does not require that testing be at no cost to employee.
4) failed to pass a Protection at Conception bill. I don’t know details of the bill or where it stalled out in the legislative process. But for a supermajority who claims to love life, they certainly did nothing to demonstrate that.
5) claim to improve election integrity in our state by requiring electronic machines to print paper ballots. I’ve since learned that a number of these machines simply print a receipt on thermal paper (that stuff degrades faster than leftover pizza left out of the fridge). And, whose to say the machines can’t be hacked and fraudulent votes recorded, and the paper ballots merely reflect the fraud. And most of the incumbents are quite fine with early voting.
Also, many of the fresh faces challenging the RINOs have not been allowed to be on the ballot due to local county party opposition. New rules were passed last year, but largely unknown to many, and so many new candidates were unable to run. My own state rep challenger was told by our county chairman that the candidate would not be provided the customary list of previous Republican primary voters in the district. 😳 Understandably, this makes a targeted, cost-effective campaign exponentially more difficult and nearly unattainable. Fortunately my candidate was able to obtain the list by other means. And we have since been told that what the chairman did is illegal!!!!
So, try to vote with your eyes open! And research those local precinct committeemen and others! They have more influence than we have realized!!!!
Yes! And don’t forget the 80 Republicans who voted for the Vaccine Database. HR 550 Immunization Infrastructure Modernization Act. 5 Texas Republicans voted for this bill.
And don't forget the 20 RINOS who voted to confirm Merrick Garland....for SHAME...FOR SHAME!
I know so many good people who think that when they go vote and vote Republican they’ve done their part. I like a comment I saw recently; ‘I don’t understand people talking about Rinos as though they were a small subgroup of the Republican Party. I don’t think in general that Republicans like us. They are always voting against us.’
John McCain led the way and wrote the playbook for lying about your conservative beliefs to win the election and then going full blown lefty and smirking about it.
And he got his corpse hauled around the country and treated to all manner of ceremonial dignities at a half dozen or so funerals. You gotta wonder how many find him the perfect role model. If only they could see him in Hell today.
This is critically important, and in my imagination I see my own state party leaders here in Florida happy to see this type of 'new Republican,' because so many in the R Party all over the nation are really standard-issue UniParty Swamp RINOs, even when they pretend publicly to be otherwise. The more of this type of 'Republican' that joins, the less attention they have to pay to MAGA constitutionalists. Only the D & R Parties have name recognition, huge budgets, and a presence in every county in the nation, so a third party is unlikely to do anything but make our side lose, when we should be winning. I point out to others that the socialist/communists aren't running under a third-party label (x Bernie), but instead are slowly but surely taking over the D Party for themselves! Please, please, can Rs be as smart and organized as socialist/communists for once? *All of us* should at least watch/read what is available at precinctstrategy.com and if at all possible fill one of the ~1/2 of the empty Republican Precinct Committeeman/woman slots in every county in the nation. These are the grassroots voting members of the Party (not the public election ballots; the Party itself). Everything Copernicus describes is because of those empty Republican Precinct Committeeman/woman (PCM/W) seats at county level. Who are the active Party members? PCM/Ws. Who elects each county's Chair and State Committeemen/women? PCM/Ws. Who elects the state R Party executive officers and National Committeemen/women? Chairs and State Committeemen/women. Who controls the budget and direction of the state party? The state R Party executive officers. Who directs the national R Party? Each state's National Committeemen/women. It all feeds up from the county PCM/Ws. Who can recruit and vet primary candidates, to help the MAGA/constitutionalist ones? PCM/Ws. Who can GET VOTER INFORMATION FROM THE COUNTY SUPV OF ELECTIONS (ATTN: Copernicus) and contact them to educate them and turn out the vote IN PRIMARY ELECTIONS, where it counts the most because turnout is lower, so easier to win, and because there's a chance to overturn the UniParty Swamp RINO candidate? PCM/Ws. It isn't a huge time commitment, BUT YOU NEED TO HAVE GOOD PRIMARY CANDIDATES. How to recruit and vet candidates? Watch this excellent training video from Rescue Michigan: https://rumble.com/vqe91o-candidate-recruitment-and-vetting.html
Thank you very much for this info, Fla Mom. Husband and I escaped the northeast last year, now living on the FL Panhandle. The precinct strategy looks intriguing. Will have to take a look at the Rumble video, as well. Thanks again!
Excellent strategy, which is why RINOs do stuff like this:
Arizona Lawmaker Introduces Legislation To Repeal Precinct Committeemen Election Rule Change After Pressure From Grassroots

Precisely! (The man who developed the Precinct Strategy is involved in the R Party in Arizona.)
According to Susan Page of the Cook Report, Republicans in the House are likely to see only a 12-seat gain--not the huge gains some outlets predict. She may be off by a mile, but we should temper our expectations.
I doubt the Chinese people will talk about their government’s human rights violations when the lockdown is lifted.
At my previous employer there was a young Chinese engineer who had never heard about some of the events in China that we were discussing. Initially she didn’t believe us until an older Chinese engineer confirmed they had happened. She asked him why no one talked about it over there, and he told her people aren’t allowed to. She asked her parents when they came to visit and got the same answer. They also explained what happens to people who do. She was so shocked and disgusted that she chose to become a U.S. citizen.
Doesn't need to be public discourse. Depending on who comprises your inner circle, talking in private about atrocities, voicing doubt or disagreement can get a person arrested. The methods of Mao are present, even if he is not. The stress must be enormous, and constant, wondering if someone you know, even family, might turn in your name if they are dedicated to the regime, or have cause for acting in desperation.
I taught English as a second language to Spanish-speakers in Miami long ago, and the husband in one Cuban family, who was my student, told me about hiding his and his wife's true opinions from their own children, to prevent being turned in by them, before they were able to get legally to Mexico and then to the U.S.
Anyone who talks about it publicly will be disappeared to both shut them up and to send a message to the rest of the population ...this is what happens when you don't bow the knee to the CCP.
I met a Chinese doctor at a medical meeting in the early 2000s who told me she didn't know she was living in a totalitarian state until she was ordered to live in a distant city on finishing her medical training, instead of where she intended to live, Beijing, her home and where her parents and fiancé lived. He and she got out on some sort of student visas, I think, and they're now Americans.
I fear Pelosi's prediction is more about rigged elections to stay in power in perpetuity than influencing people to vote democrat. The depth of her depravity seems to have no bottom.
This. This is why I don’t get excited about all the talk of a red wave. The left has a well rehearsed bag of tricks. When Biden said “I don’t need your votes.” back in 2019, he spoke truth. Even the relative freedom we’re experiencing here in Florida is fragile and we need to be on high alert and active as we can be in local politics. City Council and school boards need to see us.
Yep, this is how I feel too. It's hard to admit to being a doubting Thomas or skeptic but I'm not ready to exhale...
Scary, huh?
Indeed!
Allegedly, she has said IF there are elections in November and Republicans win the dumocraps will NOT vacate their seats. So....cheat one way or cheat another. It's all they know.
Nancy Pelosi's father was Mayor of Baltimore, Maryland from May 16, 1947 – May 16, 1959. According to wikipedia.... "D'Alesandro was a strong contender for Governor of Maryland in 1954, but dropped out after being implicated in receiving undeclared money from Dominic Piracci, a parking garage owner convicted of fraud, conspiracy, and conspiracy to obstruct justice.[6]" ............... Her brother was Mayor of Baltimore from December 1967 – December 1971, over the period of time of the April 1968 riots. According to wikipedia , "The Baltimore riot of 1968 was a period of civil unrest that lasted from April 6 to April 14, 1968, in Baltimore. The uprising included crowds filling the streets, burning and looting local businesses, and confronting the police and national guard." and "In the next few days,[when?] six people died, 700 were injured, and 5,800 were arrested. 1,000 small businesses were damaged or robbed.[11] Property damages, assessed financially, were more severe in DC ($15 million), Baltimore ($12 million), and Chicago ($10 million) than in any other cities.[1]" ...........................also the #2 person in the U.S. House.... Rep Steny Hoyer from Maryland ..... according again to wikipedia "For four years, from 1962 to 1966, Hoyer was a member of the staff of United States Senator Daniel Brewster (D-Maryland); also on Senator Brewster's staff at that time was Nancy Pelosi, who would later become a leadership colleague of Hoyer's.[9]"
So...corruption runs in the family. Not surprised. 🤢🤮
Conservatives get labeled with all sorts of BS liberal garbage, one of them being "putting profits before people." It's just a tagline to throw in for their low IQ base to run with, of course. (All indications are that the BLM founders didn't exactly put people before profits.) Money isn't everything, but in this world, it's right up there with oxygen.
Follow the money!
Hearing the desperate cries and screams was chilling....a passage from Dante's Inferno.
God help them.
Pray incessantly folks.
There is so much information in this article I don’t know where to begin. Thank you for sharing about the crisis in Shanghai, it is truly disgusting what the CCP is doing. Fauci is continually exposing his ass in public and should retire to avoid any further public humiliation. As a resident of NJ, you confirmed my speculation Murphy cheated to win the November election. I do not know one person that voted for that POS yet he won.
No WAY. Karma is a bitch Murphy..and it is coming for you.
I hope you and family feel better soon Jeff!
Tears came to my eyes reading about the Shanghai human rights horror. So many American executives think their system is good. Nobody seems to get that communism is evil.
Yep. Ain't it great that we have outsourced the majority of our jobs to them, and therefore most of our money, too?
I bought gauze pads for a cut the other day. Didn’t expect to see Made in China on the package as I ripped it open.
Can’t we make our own gauze pads in the USA???
As an ICU nurse all through covid, I noticed ALL of our PPE is made in China. All of it. Got fired last year for not taking the jab, but I’m sure it all still is....
You know it is! Considering where it's from, using it bothers me, but what'cha gonna do?
Seems like we make almost nothing here.
Like wheat. Like those rolling fields of wheat throughout almost the country? Just stop exporting it! And a food shortage??? In one of the most environmentally diverse countries that can grow literally anything? Why would the US even have a food shortage? It’s not possible. Unless we stop exporting so much of it and clear the lines to get it to people. That or just have it available locally, I.e. grow your own/farmers markets.
🙌 Amen! --- The wheat is what I think of every time I read about Ukraine and Russia being the breadbasket of the world. That's what we used to be called! When did we stop growing it? It's still grown around here in the Mid-west. 😳
It's not just wheat. Take a look in the produce section of your local grocery store. Almost everything is imported from somewhere else. Almost all of ours is exported to other countries.
Russia and Balaurus combined are the largest exporter of fertilizer
There used to be a time perhaps 25 years ago, maybe more, when you could consciously avoid buying products made in China. Now it's almost impossible because it seems like virtually everything is made there.
Yep. You could find some alternatives before. Now, you have to do without, which for some things might not be an option.
Double yep. The Korean and Vietnam veterans and those soldiers who lost their lives in those wars must be turning over in their graves knowing the CCP is now our bestest friend.
My Dad fought in WWII. I can guarantee
he's not happy about it either.
The reporters are covering up for China because as Trudeau stated, China is the dream for Western Politicians. China has the ability to ‘turn their economy on a dime.’ Even if reporters wanted to write about the current horrors, the legacy media would never run with the story. This is chilling.
I don’t think CCP can turn their economy “up” on a dime. That’s the whole issue here—communist economic failure.
I figured the Democratic Party was gonna destroy themselves pushing folks too far with lockdowns, mask, mandates, CRT and a host of other lame brained policies.
And I wonder why would they drive everyone into the arms of the Republicans?
It was exciting to see the Democrats doing this to themselves until you remember the Republicans and Democrats are one and the same.
Neither party represents “We the people” they call it by-partisan, when they vote in unison but, the truth is there’s no difference in either parties ideology.
So what if the Republicans end up in total control in 22’.
They are RINO’s who have proven themselves worthless, spineless and yes traitors.
Both Parties and multinational corporations contrived to steal the 2020 election simply because Trump stood in the way of WEF’s goal of controlling the wealth of our economy, the entire planet’s economy.
Prove me wrong!!
Even now Federal Government and multinational corporations along with MSM are controlling the narrative.
But those who can think for themselves already know this.
Total truth. I repudiate both but I want to stab the Dems as hard as I can before I quit voting. I can’t support this sick system anymore.
You are not wrong!
Never forget, Justin Trudeau and Barack Obama, among MANY other Democrats and Leftists (including Thomas Friedman) wish we were like China.
They are our mortal enemies. No, not China.
The Obamas and Trudeaus of the West.
🙌 Amen! Keep shouting that to the world until people wake up!
I don't know that they can be fully separated, they both present threats and the web is tangled
Yeah, for sure, I just meant that my "they are our mortal enemies" was directed in *this* instance at Trudeau, Obama, et al. Not that China *isn't*, but I wanted to be clear that IMO Trudeau and Obama, et al, are enemies of the West and of freedom and liberty in just about every way possible.
I stand with Shanghai.
To be even more specific: I stand with ‘we the people’ of Shanghai.
This distinction should always be considered everywhere. We live in the land of the free, home of the brave, and even here it seems “our” government is very often a separate beast of its own, a beast which often does not reflect the will of “we the people” in any way.
We see this distinction here, because we live here, but we often forget, or ignore the fact that for most of the world, “we the people” of other countries have even less say and control than we do.
I think we all know what I meant.
Effective placards, t-shirts, pins, stickers, etc. cannot accommodate paragraphs.
Now get printing and wearing, People!
Key word: “effective.”
Always works better than ‘splainin.
Agree re specifying because unfortunately, many are only readers of headlines and form opinions on what they think they see. Standing with Ukraine is short and clear because they are standing against another country. Standing w Shanghai might be interpreted either way.
Unfortunately, another aspect is that to us, "We the people" conveys our beliefs of being free people with inalienable rights. It's a significant factor for those making a decision to escape tyranny. And it's a difficult concept to grasp for those whose dictatorships are not vastly different than centuries of governance by war lords and emperors.
“Standing w Shanghai might be interpreted either way.”
That’s not a bad thing.
That would blow the normies mind. That the beloved jab pandemic is causing such horror in Chyna.
