    The USA is decades behind China in Tech AND INDUSTRIAL expansion. China has 'a foot-hold' all over the ASIA continent and outlying countries like Malaysia, the Philippines and Thailand.

    QUESTION(s):
    1. Do you think China PUTS up with organizations like BLM and ANTIFA ?
      (if you RIOT and destroy property in China, YOU'LL be executed. You protest against the Chinese gov., they will THROW you in jail (1rst offense...2nd offense, they execute you)
    2. How will the USA compete when self destructive forces are allowed to proliferate and thrive?
      (BLM leaders live in Million dollars homes in the Mountains)

    PS. Just asking for 'a friend~!'

    Blm, the Chinese communist party and the democrat party all have irrefutable financial ties to eachother.

    You want an example of foreign efforts to destabilize American society, look no farther than the "divine trinity of wokeness" and thier common goal of destroying America as it exists today.


    “We will take America without firing a shot …. We will BURY YOU! We can’t expect the American People to jump from Capitalism to Communism, but we can assist their elected leaders in giving them small doses of Socialism, until they awaken one day to find that they have Communism. We do not have to invade the United States, we will destroy you from within.”
    Nikita Khrushchev (quote attributed to), First Secretary of the Communist Party, USSR 1953-1964


    As we speak, the democrat party works feverishly to purge the ranks of the US military of any who disagree with thier leftist doctrines.

    We may skip communism all together and go directly this sort of "woke facism" being rammed through by the democrat party, and thier likely puppeteer, the CCP

    Since when did China become woke???

    I wasn't referring to 'WOKE-NESS'
    *wat is that anyway...You woke???*

    The rest of the World doesn't give a Flyin F**k if America is WOKE ! (I WAS referring to 'the future' of AMERICAN SLAVERY !)

    Your 'woke-ness' has nothing to do with the Golden Rule. He who has the Gold Makes the Rules!
    (Reality 101).

    The economic powers that be, call the shots (and they are WOKE to their own Goals---NOT YOURS). You woke to that???

    To actually address the thread...

    The OP presented an article where our 4 five star commanders are asking to release to the public more information about BOTH China's and Russia's wrongdoings.

    To give examples of what they are talking about:

    As far as China goes:
    As Hughinn pointed out... you don't see much bad news in the media about them but...
    They have millions of Muslims in detention camps.

    As far as Russia goes:
    They recently (and probably still are) conducted the largest ever hacking attack in the world's history and our President wouldn't even publicly blame them.
    They also interfered in out elections. (Iran to a lesser extent also did the same. China to a lesser extent also did the same.)



    Now...
    The article addresses BOTH China and Russia.
    People attacking just China are treating Russia as a friend. Which they definitely are not.

    Edit: My bad. I probably should've made this post a separate thread, but anyway....

    However, I think we can all agree the Chinese, Russian, Iranian, and NoKo governments all would be delighted to see our country implode. There are others, but those are the most blatant in their attacks and actions.

    I will make this short and simple.

    Hughinn claimed China was part of a "divine trinity of wokeness". post#4

    I then used the hashtag #divinetrinityofwokeness. post#5

    I then asked "Since when did China become woke???" post#5

    You were not referenced in any part of that.

    I was addressing Hughinn's claim.

    Sorry about any confusion.

    I am unsure of how dirty our special agencies fight...

    I do hope it is dirty enough.

    Just watched a Netflix movie called Outlaw/King.

    In it the adversary flies a "dragon banner" which symbolizes that the laws of chivalry are NOT in place.

    Curious how chivalrous we are...

    I don't know if you can actually prove that the DNC, BLM and China are all financially connected with one another. That reeks of Alex Jones.

    I will give you a nugget about BLM though:

    Susan Rosenberg, the same one that was a member of a communist organization that detonated bombs in the US Senate chambers, the same one who also robbed a Brinx armored truck in 1981, who served 16 years of an over 50 year sentence (it was commuted by Clinton), serves on the board of directors for IDEX (International Development Exchange). The IDEX is one of the initial financial sponsors of BLM.

    But nobody on the alleged right wing talks about this terrorist, when they rant about BLM. It's always "the Chicoms." No, the "Chicoms" are a diversion.

    I'll just say we have enemies. Some external and some internal. Ignoring either is risky.

    I live in a city and I travel a lot... I haven't seen any cities burning yet. I'm not sure what a small-scale social movement like BLM or ANTIFA has to do with China, a communist police state? I'd ask you to explain how BLM affects the economy of the US negatively and how it helps China, but I don't expect you would have an answer.

    I have 0 interest in repeating a Thesis based on a internet forum prompt.

    There are numerous writers and pundits on this subject. Most ppl believe what they 'WANT TO BELIEVE' and then diligently search out sources to support their bias. Here's one book that supports my bias on the subject.
    LINK

    1. Just because you travel BUT haven't seen any fires means nothing (are you suggesting Rioters never burned down buildings...nor caused billions in damage)? (what's next,...you a holocaust denier too)?
    2. NOW...YOU NEED ME to explain how a subversive groups burn down billions of dollars in RE, Sabotage thousand of Small businesses ....and that has no effect on the economy ??? You really need ME TO EXPLAIN THIS ??? (LOL).

    (nah..do you own research. Got better things to do....LOL).

    Really ???

    They are goddamn mass murderers. (And Russia is barely any better.)
    Actually sir, the connection between the Chinese communist party, it's state owned corporations, it's money and the DNC is a glaringly obvious. Russia also has financial ties to the DNC

    https://www.forbes.com/sites/paulrod...h=2949e093991a

    https://www.foxnews.com/politics/dem...keep-piling-up

    https://freebeacon.com/democrats/maj...ch-firm-stock/

    And it doesn't just stop with the democrat party, but extends solidly into thier propaganda corporations as well.

    https://thefederalist.com/2020/05/04...-media-entity/

    BLM corporate donors, many of which also have solid financial stakes with the Chinese communist party and the DNC

    https://www.dailysignal.com/2020/07/...-matter-group/

    And blm is undeniably financially tied to the democrat party

    https://www.dailysignal.com/2020/09/...s-china-links/

    And sir, let's not forget that hunter biden, flew to China with his father, the then vice president on air force 2, only to land a lucrative deal with Chinese communist party investment bankers just days later.


    https://nypost.com/2019/10/10/6-fact...ings-in-china/


    When looked at objectively, the democrat party is more or less a public relations board, with corporate donors and shareholders consisting of large multinational corporations, billionaires and tech giants, Many of them Chinese, or doing big business with the Chinese communist party. Thier job is to sell and manipulate American policy on behalf of thier shareholders. It's what they do

    Wokeness is an American leftist movement , propagated by the democrat party, that seeks ro squelch dissent through censorship, violence and intimidation. Thus making it easier for them to do thier job for tgier shareholders by limiting resistance. The Chinese communist party operates exactly the same way, total conformity to the party line or else.. its, just the CCP is more extreme at the moment. China is just simply more "woke" right now. But both are financially and ideologically in lockstep at the moment.

    And it's all relevant to the original post, because the link posted discusses the fact the foreign powers are financing disrupters and interfering in American civic life in order to destabilize the nation. I was merely pointing out that not all of it is coming from the outside, because they have agents inside. It's glaringly obvious who is helping them if you follow the money

    Clarity does...

    Woke in the political sense means "alert to injustice in society, especially racism".
    China is the exact opposite of woke. They have millions of Muslims in concentration camps.

    Perhaps you don't mean woke. What is your definition of woke?

    As far as a country or corporations having financial ties to a political system...
    Pretty much every country and corporation has financial ties with each other.
    We do live in a global economy.

    You can't be so naive to think that Russia and China don't have ties to the Republican party also.

    Well, it was a great post by the OP. The USA certainly has its hands full keeping itself at the top of the food chain as it seems that our enemies size, strength & influence is growing.

    I hope we take the gloves off and play equally as dirty.

    One thing that does always make me curious is if the majority of Americans really, truly have an issue with how China handles its Muslims. But that should be another thread.

    I think you're confused sir.

    Because showing a money trail may be long winded, but it does add clarity.

    Also,
    The definition of "woke" and the "woke" leftist movement are two different things. See my explanation in post #20.

    And if the woke crowd was so concerned about injustice at the hands of the communist Chinese, instead of influences in American politics, then why do all the liberal news networks give them a pass? Why do democrat leaders refuse to confront them on it? Why don't woke leaders do anything about it?

    And china and Russian money in the gop? No sir, I don't pretend they're immune. But the amount of money and influence is extremely lopsided. I just prefer to cut a snake off at the head. In this case, far more foreign money is funneled to the democrat party.

    "Liberal dark money groups overshadow conservatives"

    https://www.opensecrets.org/news/202...electioncycle/

    "Biden’s presidential bid attracted around $174 million in support from anonymous donors, more than six times the $25.2 million in dark money contributions and spending boosting President Donald Trump’s unsuccessful re-election effort."

    exactly my point. I have to find evidence for the bs you believe. Every right-wing fanatic with a Fox news and a cable internet connection knows something we don't. Through all the investigation and in-depth research you do, you find no faults with the OCEAN of crimes and misdeeds committed by right wing politicians, including our crooked POS ex president. No, it's Antifa and BLM... some 15 year old kids with nothing to do... they're the problem... right...

    Yawn.

    You still haven’t defined “woke” or your new phrase “woke leftist movement”.

    Also dark money means anonymous which means Hughinn has no idea from where the money came.

    I am not debating anymore with someone who won’t even provide a definition of what he is talking.

    I am not debating anymore with someone who claims to have secret knowledge. Qanon has burnt me out months ago.

    You can walk away if you'd like sir. You struggle debating logically with me most of the time anyway and this one isn't shaping up well for you so far. It'd be a fresh change from name calling and insults you normally do also. So ,Thanks for that.

    Cheers sir. See you in the next thread.

    Seems to be a bit of a detour from the OP?

    I liked the original post. Too bad.

    Hopefully this current administration will deal appropriately. But you know, only 100 days in office, kind of soon to judge imo.

    Kind of nice if we could come together and kick China’s & Russia’s ass instead of pointing fingers here. But, that’s just me. If some of you all have a different agenda, well I apologize for the interruption.

    I do hope it is dirty enough.

    Just watched a Netflix movie called Outlaw/King.

    In it the adversary flies a "dragon banner" which symbolizes that the laws of chivalry are NOT in place.

    Curious how chivalrous we are...
    I think most of us were raised to be courteous and act honorably.
    You'll witness it throughout all walks of life, our military, our intelligence community or in the civilian part of life; it's just whether or not people choose to follow that path.

    Like you, I hope our agencies have enough drive and commitment to do the job at hand. Most importantly, I hope they aren't legislated or put under constraints that would prevent them from being successful.

    Edit: I'll have to check out that movie!!

    QUESTION(s):
    1. Do you think China PUTS up with organizations like BLM and ANTIFA ?
      (if you RIOT and destroy property in China, YOU'LL be executed. You protest against the Chinese gov., they will THROW you in jail (1rst offense...2nd offense, they execute you)
    2. How will the USA compete when self destructive forces are allowed to proliferate and thrive?
      (BLM leaders live in Million dollars homes in the Mountains)

    Re: In bold above. Here's a link to a lengthy, but interesting report by the Center for Strategic and International Studies. It lays it out very well.

    Another good read from the DoD:

    Shucks! One more. This is subject that I kind of "follow"... if that makes sense.

    Here is a great video about the subject...

    Be forewarned... Beau of the Fifth Column is very left leaning but this video is not.
    (If by some way this triggers anyone then I will pull it. I truly think this video is not triggering. I have been wrong before.)

    "as you are consuming information you have to be even more cautious than before of the source and how it is framed..." (not a perfect quote 5:05ish)



    note: I fully understand that ALL parties and countries and news outlets "twist" the truth.

    I'll have to check this out later; thanks for sharing, DD! I think I've seen some of his stuff before and he came across as more of a Libertarian if I recall correctly, but I may be mistaken?

    But he is correct. Any info needs to be weighed as "who benefits most from the release of this information" and then tempered with a lot of cautious examination as it relates to geopolitics and domestic backlash/fallout.
