Remember the leftoids and the corrupt xiden admin are sucking Chynna's dick, compared to which Ruscia is a beacon of freedom.

If that's real (and I don't fucking know because there's no fucking link) I have lost a lot of respect for him, nearly all my respect for him.

Maybe I'm showing my age, but who the fuck is that anyway? I'm generally good with knowing famous people, even older ones. Don't know who in the flying fuck that guy is.

CHINA - Lanzhou. Quarantine camp has been set on fire. The people are deciding 🔥

Elon is pretty damn invested there too. What did he say on the subject?

Wait, aren't we, True Conservatives, against supporting color revolutions?

And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?… The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin’s thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!

Past comments, he's always praised China. You don't get factories in China without ties to the CCP.

Paper ain't gonna do shit. Setting paper on fire on the other hand...

I'm all for authentic revolutions, but I'm against CIA sponsored revolutions. "Color" revolutions aren't really revolutions, they are US led coups.

At noon on November 30th, despite stubbornly high case numbers, Guangzhou restaurants suddenly received notification that effective December 1st, restaurants were henceforth permitted to allow in-house dining. In-house dining had been banned for over a month.

Yet there were still long queues of people snaking around PCR testing booths, some up to 200 meters. At 4 pm, suddenly testing booth workers emerged and announced via loudspeaker that they had just received notification that the testing booths were going to be closed effective immediately.

“解封了，解封了” (Freed, freed!)

Up to date test results were no longer required to gain entrance to restaurants, subways and office buildings.

Bit by bit, reports of policy changes in many other cities followed. For example, Beijing also closed a number of PCR testing booths and abandoned the 48-hour test result rule for using the subway, but left in place the 48-hour rule for those entering office buildings. What sense does that make? Result: Huge lines at the remaining booths.

Maybe the CCP is backing off a bit.

Just remember, there has never, ever, in the entire history of civilization, been an example of government giving power back. Ever.

Now Elon needs to wake the fuck up.

Meanwhile in China... with a uber homogeneous population that is about 95% of the same ethnicity ...

You would never get a public demonstration of the American flag at any civilian university in the USA like Univ of Cal Berkeley, Connecticut College, Dartmouth, Harvard, Wisconsin, etc.

OOOOH, CHYNA SOOO GOOOOD!

New demographic data released on China.

New graphic with new data:



And it is still off because China didn't keep track of Covid death numbers...because they didn't want the rest of the world to know them.

China is Demographic Dead Man Walking.

Annnnd....we are supposed to believe that China and India are really going to form an alternative currency together with real teeth?

Aaannnnd.....

The BRICS should all simply declare that their currency is 100% backed by silver by weight, instantly redeemable at any time.

As long as they always make good on the redemption promise, their currency will kill the dollar.

On the other hand, they also like the power to simply print money, so they're not likely to give that up.

They won't. Because in reality, having the world's reserve currency pretty much kills your exports. So, you would have to be a nation that doesn't engage much on foreign trade like the US (just 10% to 16% of total GDP is in imports/exports and half that is with Canada and Mexico).

Thus Asia, the EU and most other nations would not want to have a currency that is also the reserve currency.

India might, as it has a pretty closed economy still.

So this BRICS bullshit is all a joke.
