There may be individuals occasionally breaking ranks or giving the illusion of doing so, but let's be real about this. CNN is the propaganda arm of the largest multinational communications and media corporation in the world, AT&T.

Their fiscal bottom line unimportant as CNN is considered an operating cost, even legal backlash will unlikely reach the boardroom of AT&T. At no point are they giving up on their dreams of global power. They'll let CNN burn before that happens.

And the rest of msm is the same, all propaganda operations for major global corporations. They see the deep state in the United States and the CCP in China as the major power brokers in the world, and that is who they will continue to work with. Each individually for their own agendas, even though narratives will remain in lockstep.

The Pelosi thing I think is just a case of them turning on her specifically. I don't think she's very well liked among the deep state any more.

The NY Post is a mainstream paper. It's one of the oldest in the US and the 4th highest circulation. It doesn't matter. The Left dismisses any news outlet that doesn't keep on narrative.

The majority of msm will only start covering this story when they can't ignore it anymore.

Trickling this story keeps it in the news cycle and forces front and center Biden's corruption in the final weeks of the election.

Look at that...Africa is almost completely red.

And depending on their definition of slavery, China should be #1 on this list. When your labor belongs to the State, it doesn't matter what they call it, it's still slavery.

There's a level of randomness when it comes to stickies. The mods don't intentionally suppress posts like that or anything. It's a small group of people and if they don't see it, they won't have a chance to think about sticking it. There are LOTS of great posts that don't get stickied, or even upvoted much because there are just so many posts on this site at any given moment of the day or night, many simply fall through the cracks.

I am convinced more than ever, after seeing this interview on an Australian opinion show, that Steve Bannon didn't have any sort of "fallout" with Trump. That what they both said was true, and he left the Trump administration because he can do a better job running Breitbart and other things.

His impassioned speech towards the end about "both parties" and "neocons and neolibs" tells me, he 100% understands the situation and what is at stake. And there is no doubt in my mind now that he completely has the President's back.

Why was this on Australian media? Well, to be honest, the way things work now it doesn't matter what media it was on. We all saw it. We all have access to it. Bannon was smart to connect the dots to Australian concerns with the CCP, but make no mistake, this entire interview was meant for an American audience. Thanks to Sky of Australia for hosting it.

Rudy got it last December according to the NY Post.

Spez: sorry I was just responding to the first statement you made. Yes, it is "happening". It has been "happening" for months now. President Trump said it would be.

I would not expect any arrests any time soon, but indictments are coming. Indictments that were held back for quite a while. Indictments and arrests are easy to get. Getting enough solid evidence is the hard part. But the Trump people are signaling they have the evidence. Now they are just getting the People on board with the evidence so that they have the political will to move forward with actual arrests.

I suspect the Trump camp will wait until after November 3rd to perp walk anyone.

Back channels with Trump in charge? Oh they absolutely will.

We need a systematic "uncoupling" economically from China. That will hurt them more than bombs ever will.

Thats the kind of war I support. Gut them economically and let the house of cards fall under it's own weight.

People just do not understand China or what they are capable of. It has nothing to do with the end result. We all know the US ALONE could take China, militarily. It's what China would do to all of us before that eventual outcome. They have zero moral reasons why they would not use nuclear weapons up front. They won't wait a moment to use them. They have no reason to let a day of "fairsies" go by to attack anything remotely unprotected.

China is not the US. It is not Europe. It isn't even their neighbor India. They do not think the same way. They do not evaluate tactics the same way. And they view war and peace as the same, winning and losing as the same. It's a completely foreign view to us. We ran into that problem with the Japanese in WWII. They did things that made absolutely no sense to us.

China will be that just ten times worse, because they are that much more powerful. We can and would absolutely defeat them, with or without India and Europe. But the cost would be at a level that cannot be given in dollars that make sense, and at lives that are so horrific, it would pause anyone from pushing that "button".

If you truly want a war with China, then just nuke them and then spend the next 20 years dealing with the economic fallout. Because an actual war with them will cost even more and take more time to recover from.

Oh the too cool asshole guy thing. Well I am American, not Irish. Some idioms do not translate I suppose. Slang is always tough. Like what Japanese call gay people.

As I said in another response, it is not a question of if we will win. It is a question of what we lose before we win. PRESIDENT Trump understands this. Some of you apparently do not.

It's not a matter of racism. It's a matter of what such a war would cost humanity.

Look, I served in the Navy and the Army. I was willing to pay the cost on the frontlines if I had to.

But are people willing to pay the cost for such a war at home? Because it would be a world war, and it will absolutely cost you at home. You will feel it, daily. If you think Covid was bad, try a world war.

Everyone likes to rattle their sabers and look to war as an answer for things. Trust me, history proves it's the civilians that always bear the brunt of these major wars. I don't think Americans, or any Westerners, are prepared for a war like that.

Yes we could defeat China, and do so in record time. But before we defeat them, they will use everything in their arsenal against us. That includes nuclear weapons. The CCP has no defining moral principles to stop them from doing that. Are you willing to say war with China is worth destroying Washington DC, Chicago, and NYC? We may hate the politics in those places, but if you destroy them, you are destroying centers of economic and political power, and that will filter down to everyman in everytown.

Bellicose behavior is easy to drum up, but thinking down the road is harder. What we have to pick up after the drums of war have long silenced is a real problem to consider.

It is better to handle something like this behind the scenes, avoiding war, and cutting China apart by a thousand cuts. We can, and should, destroy the CCP, but it should be by cooler heads, not the hot fury of war.

That was Cantonese? I thought it was really thickly accented Mandarin. I learned some Cantonese too, but seemed Mandarin to me even though they are unintelligible languages.

Well it's a boy's name and a name of a clan, so weird to name a daughter that. I suppose you could say it means "pretty" or "fair", but it's masculine so still weird for a girl.

Buddy, I wish that was all that would happen.

But the public in most countries would want blood. That's just how humans are.

Keln 15 points ago +18 / -3

Yeah but if you apply the "bioweapon" label to it and prove it, things go another direction.

I get the inner bellicose reaction to it, and trust me there would be a demand for war if it was framed that way, but I don't think the western world, and specifically the American people, are prepared for that kind of war. Iraq was easy to just watch on the news. China would be in our living rooms, and not just on a TV.

I'm prepared, you're prepared. But most people aren't. And frankly even I don't want to live through that. I know a war sparking somewhere is coming eventually, but I'd rather keep kicking that can down the road, as nuclear weapons have allowed us to do for a long time.

Thanks pede. As always the best information is in the comments. Even though here, unlike YouTube, Reddit, and Facebook, great information is in the post itself, the pedes always come through and top it in the comments. I am going to look into this guy.

And I want to say one thing about Bannon for everyone reading this. President Trump kicked him to the curb and some made a big deal about it, but it seems apparent that happened because both Trump and Bannon figured out Bannon would do a better job running Breitbart and other things outside of the political sphere. And he has done exactly that. He's been a major ally for Trump and MAGA. So give him a bit of berth. He's an odd guy, but he's one of us.

America First, no matter how we have to accomplish it!

Time isn't running out. Trump won a long time ago and the campaign knows it.

All of this is priming the pump for doing battle with the swamp. It's not about taking out Biden. It's about proving to the American people that their government has been corrupt for a long time. Biden is just the first domino they chose to show that. Biden leads to Obama, and leads to everything Obama did. And the system of "cash for access" leads to the Clintons, the Clinton Foundation, and Hillary and Bill themselves.

Trump is going after all of it. And the Left, and the losers her tug the Left's leash are freaking out about it. We already elected the man to do the job, and he is easily going to win a second term.

All we gotta do is sit back and watch.

Yes, of course make sure you vote and tell your friends and all of that. But frankly, wild horses couldn't keep Americans from the polls to vote Trump. "Complacency" is not a real thing for us, so stop with that nonsense. We are entering the fun part of all of this, so just enjoy the winning.

Are you saying this guy here is working with Rudy? Who is this guy exactly? What is his "Whistleblower Movement"?

Keln 2 points ago +3 / -1

That's fair. But it is their own term. It is defined by their actions using it, so "Progressive" is bad enough that they stopped using that term for like 80 years. Because it was associated with fascists.

For me, calling them progressives is like evoking an old pejorative they tried to abandon.

Well the bioweapon bit was only the last of my "holy shit" moments, but yes, that is a big deal if it is true. And I am kind of hoping it isn't true, and at the same time if it is would like to see a lid kept on it.

Because it would be an undeniable act of war by China against the entire world, and it would cause a world war against China, and I don't want to even imagine the amount of deaths with current technology. China doesn't do "limited warfare", and if we end up having to go to war with them, they would completely obliterate our way of life, even if their losing is assured.

I'd prefer that governments use back channels to deal with China and not let the public know in that instance. I know that sounds shady af, but sometimes the best thing for us all is to not know some things.

That's a salient point I didn't consider in my above remark. This did come out weeks ago, and now this stuff is dropping.

I wish the video had continued on to let this guy expand on the "biological weapon" thing. We've all suspected China engineered Covid. If there is proof...I'm not even sure I want to know what would happen if it was proved to be true. It could mean war.
