Great, if they are eating bats when times are good, no telling what they will resort to.

I read somewhere that their taste for these things stems from the lack of food available under communism, and that even though food is available now, they've developed a taste for it. I wonder how much truth there is in that.

Long ago I saw a CNN segment about some kind of spider festival in Cambodia. They fry up these massive gross spiders. People come from all over the world to attend this festival. The Cambodians discovered that they were tasty when everyone fled into the jungle from the Khmer Rouge and were forced to eat whatever they could find.

Don't get it twisted. Communists of all stripes (including the global warming fags) would have us eating bizarre and disgusting insects and rodents if we let them into power.

I've literally heard them say exactly that. Because you can technically get protein from insects without as much carbon output.

These people will sacrifice all of society on the altar of their new religion.

Sick people!

I’d actually be cool with bug protein powder if it tasted good and had good nutrients in it. Most of the flavor is added to protein powder anyway. Jungle Asians all love American and wish it’d have a return to form to what it was like in the 80s-90s as well.

I’ve been to Cambodia. Can confirm that they eat all sorts of fried insects, including tarantulas & locusts, as fun tasty treats

But... everyone I met there was in love with America & the American Dream & loved democracy. The nicest ppl I’ve ever met in the world!!

I have nothing against Cambodians or people freely choosing to eat fried spiders. I have something against Communists who would force you to discover the taste of insects by making you flee for your life.

Bugs actually don't bother me as a food source. From an ecological standpoint they are actually quite superior.

Gross, true, but low methane/carbon footprints, readily available anywhere in the world, scalable, nearly no ethical concerns, nutritious, and genetic dissimilarity dramatically reduce potential for disease spread. Not suggesting I want a cockroach burger offered at McD's, but it's a great answer for third world countries with rampart and endemic starvation.

The eating of wild animals like bats, pangolins, etc etc is pointlessly decadent in the worst way, and to top it off with ungodly poor sanitation and zero interest in any basic levels of humane treatmeant? Fuck me no.

I really doubt that. Even during the holodomor, fuck you spellcheck that really happened, people preferred to starve over eating bugs and shit. Even then they weren't giddy over frying dogs alive or going full Ozzy on a nest of newborn birds like the Chinese seem to be.

Communist really just brought the worst out of what had been there since the beginning.

TrailerTrashKilla 3 points ago +3 / -0

You are partly right ,this is going to be long as it is complicated & a lot is still hidden from the western public.

After l got out of the Military l was head hunted to go Contracting with a outfit that provided security to some of the worlds largest NGO's, or as us insiders called it the "Disaster Industry " (DI),which l did for over 2 years till l made bank .

I have posted on this before back on T_D pre Xmas when people still in the DI first gave me a heads up on what was on the horizon & l warned what was coming & as it turns out accurately where,well before the Fake News Ex-Spurts & the same again in calling out the Marxist scumbag heading the WHO.

Some of the people l worked with were on the front line of the SARS pandemic & are world leaders in dealing with these cluster fucks , so naturally as we traveling around the worlds conflict & disaster zones we would talk & pick their brains for info/knowledge.

The SARS pandemic originated from Wet Markets as well so these guys had spent a lot of time in them & studying them.Wet Markets in China made a major resurgence & focus on the “wildlife markets” part after China's great famine of the 60's which was world's largest famine,between the spring of 1959 and the end of 1961 approximately 30 million Chinese starved to death and about the same number of births were terminated & the deaths of woman from these abortions were not counted in these or any other figures.

After the famine the Chinese government allowed the farming/poaching of wildlife to be sold in these Wet Markets to make up the food shortages ,most in the West do not realize Chinese are terrible farmers & to this day China is the largest importer of even basics like Rice in the world & their shortage is growing every year.

With the boom in their economy (payed by Western tax payers) the wildlife market grew into a sign of prestige to feed their ignorant beliefs in that those who consume it will take on magical powers from the animal &as any hunter knows a lot of game is good eating.These days all the “wildlife markets” meats are more expensive than other meats & that is why the wild life Wet Market farms are now a huge industry in China with exotic animals bred to be slaughtered for the markets.

After the Nov 2002 SARS Pandemic was found to have come from the Wet Markets ,China was supposed to have banned them, but the West being controlled by corrupt & cowardly politicians have allowed the scumbag Chinese to instead grow the industry 10 fold .

As with the SARS l like a lot of actual experts in these genetic link viruses ,believe if a proper investigation was done (it never will be),just as "road kill"& already dead diseased animals are mixed in & sold in the Wet Markets l am leaning to a dead animal from the Wuhan pathogen laboratory having been sold & smuggled into the Wet Market where it spread.

I have been to 2 Wet Markets in China & Indonesia they are disgusting, animals stacked in cages on top of one another so you will have cages stacked on top of each other of birds,lizards,snakes/wolves/monkeys/wild cats domestic cats /dogs etc, etc with a bucket of fish on the bottom to catch it all .

The animals are forced to eat & drink all the shitting/pissing /bleeding/vomiting raining down on them all day as it is all they have & animals with fur/skin covered in shit/piss/vomit are placed on chopping blocks & cut up all a perfect setting or cross contamination .

TLDR- The "modern"wet markets wildlife farming came about due to China having the worlds worst famine back in the 60's the Government encouraged it as a means to fill the short fall in food production.Now it mainly done for prestige although as any hunter knows properly prepared game can be better than a lot of farms animals .Having seen wet market slaughter /butchery methods there is no way any of it is not as tough as boot leather,let alone unhygienic & openly contaminated & un-refrigerated concerns.China still suffers from huge short falls in their food production & is responsible for another current pandemic the Africa Swine Fever which has killed over 100 Million pigs & destroyed their own Pork Industry & currently threatens the worlds Pork supply chain.

Just raise the price on it and use the extra toward covering the farmers' expected upcoming Covid losses or to fund the previous farming subsidiaries/the wall. Withholding the grain won't work, as it's too easily propagandized to make us look cruel to the other countries, and the CCP doesn't give a shit if millions of their people starve anyway. Hit them in their pocketbooks instead.

It sounds like China is being hit MUCH harder than they publicly let on, ESPECIALLY in their rural areas where most of their crops are grown. If they're importing this much, it sounds like they already know that enough of their farmers are sick/dying/dead to cause a massive famine in the coming months without foreign aid...

And this is why we subsidize farms, being the bread basket of the world is the ultimate strategic reserve as everyone has to eat even communist/socialist nations (as much as that truth pains socialist leaders). So we can always win trade wars if we decide to fight them.

Oil, Grain, Technology, Military - the four pillars of USA's superpower status.

Technology takes care of itself mostly if government just lets it grow. Oil (and Natural Gas), Grain and Military have been given a boost during the Trump administration.

Oil, Natrual Gas, and other energy sources are crucial to our transport and electricity production. Batteries and Eletric Vehicles are changing this equation some but with Tesla we are staying in the forfront there as well.

Grain and food stuffs in general means we are never dependent on foriegn nations to feed our people and can export our food to others. No one attacks their own bread basket if they can help it.

Not just high levels of spending on military but reducing our obligations to hotspots around the world gives us more in reserve to project power.

As much as I would love to put the screws to chyna over this, I think it's important to remember that the chinese government is really to blame, and that most of the people in it are forced into it.

I know the ideology runs deep in some parts of their society, sure, but think about how based some eastern european states are due to their cultural memory of how shitty the soviet union was. Just like Trump once said about NK, there are good people there that just want a better life.

I dunno, maybe it's naive to think that way.

I agree, islam is incompatible with the basic tenants of civilized society. I am sure that some islamists would hate me for that, but I don't think that all people in that part of the world should suffer.

When the Syrian civil war was at its height in the news, I happened to come across a kid whose family was caught up in that, and she was practicing her English and studying so that she could qualify for a scholarship to go someplace in Europe for schooling or something. She was struggling with basic chemistry, which I happened to have just graduated with a degree in, so I helped her with her workbook problems.

She translated the script for the questions and I just read the lewis structures to draw the arrows for her, showing her how the bonds changed, etc. At the end of the summer, she went to stay with her dad in Syria and that was the last I heard from her.

I had only spent a few hours of my time in the end, but she had spirit and I believe deserved that chance at a better life she was reaching for. I know she might have been in the minority of her people, but the experience was humbling nonetheless. Around that time, I had been raging on smoke breaks about how we should just let them all kill each other, as they had been for centuries before oil came into the game, and I honestly hadn't stopped to consider how much potential would be wiped away with it, too.

Learning about how Iran was in the 70's was eye-opening, to that end. There have been times where I've said that the middle east should just become the world's largest parking lot for all the problems it causes, but I now prefer the Trumpian vision, where we show these places how to WIN and they have the chance to modernize and become badass allies. If not, then sadly that isn't our problem and they'll have to sort it out themselves.

Nice username by the way

It's naive. They're brainwashed from an early age to love the state, and China is the way it is because they have the full support of the population. Xi might get thrown out for mishandling the virus, but if it came out that it was a bioweapon meant to attack the West, they'd blame him for fucking it up, not for attempting it.
