The more I think on it the more I realize that the number one enemy we have is the media. The media is the reason why we see this behavior, they control the narrative and therefore people's minds. Everyone's number one fear is media perception; corporations, governments, and individuals do not want to be on the bad side of the media because it's the difference between being labeled a terrorist or a peaceful protestor, a dictator or a compassionate leader etc etc. This is where we need to focus.

And teachers. Nikita Khrushchev said the Communists would "bury us from within, without firing a shot". And they have done just that. The took control of the teachers and then the minds of the children. They taught the children to have no respect for authority. That includes parents, police, etc. The part that backfired is that the children also have no respect for the teachers now.

The problem is everyone was convinced it was Russia that would be doing that. They still push the narrative of Russia trying to destroy the US covertly, when anyone with half a brain knows its China... and yet a man with well known ties to the CCP is occupying the oval office... further proof that China has successfully infiltrated our country across the board, the media, the education system, the entertainment industry, big tech, politicians... everything. Without firing a single shot.

It's more that we thought that the threat was over after the fall of the USSR and later Asian revolutions ushering out despots for democracies, at least in Korea and Taiwan. Most believed that Tiananmen square didn't get them this time, but in a few years the students will return.

We lost our vigilance when the politicians believed in "the end of history", with a new political system dominated by "western style" democracies. Then we got distracted with the War on Terrorism.

Now, we see China with their own view of the world. One where the leaders of China adorn themselves with the mantle of the Mandate from Heaven, all the rest of the earth kowtows to Beijing.

And they are working their plan.
