To balance western propaganda

80th anniversary of the end of World War Two - which pitted China against Japan

Interesting way of saying, “…in which Japan savagely attacked China and just about everywhere else in the region, and as far away as Pearl Harbor.”

But we mustn’t be mean to our allies right? Nanjing was only a little massacre and they are already pissed off at us because our military personnel keep raping their women.

Is the purpose actually to cover up intentional sabotage by an anti-China entity?

I don’t know, but it entirely plausible when you consider the long history of lies by the entity that is most anti-China. Especially since it has a $1.6 billion budget specifically for anti-China propaganda

at what many believe

Straight from the Fox News school of journalism 🤣🤣

I can’t remember where I copied this from originally but it seems pertinent here

Americans are, of course, the most thoroughly and passively indoctrinated people on earth. they know next to nothing as a rule about their own history, or the histories of other nations, or the histories of the various social movements that have risen and fallen in the past, and they certainly know nothing of the complexities and contradictions comprised within words like ‘socialism’ and ‘capitalism.’

Chiefly, what they have been trained not to know or even suspect is that, in many ways, they enjoy far fewer freedoms, and suffer under a more intrusive centralized state, than do the citizens of countries with more vigorous social-democratic institutions.

This is is at once the most comic and most tragic aspect of the excitable alarm that talk of social democracy or democratic socialism can elicit on these shores.

An enormous number of Americans have been persuaded to believe that they are freer in the abstract than, say, Germans or Danes precisely because they possess far fewer freedoms in the concrete.

They are far more vulnerable to medical and financial crisis, far more likely to receive inadequate health coverage, far more prone too irreparable insolvency, far more unprotected against predatory creditors, far more subject to income inequality, and so forth, while effectively paying more in tax (when one figures in federal, state, local and sales taxes, and then compounds those by all the expenditures that in this country, as almost nowhere else, their taxes do not cover).

One might think that a people who once rebelled against the mightiest empire on earth on the principle of no taxation without representation would not meekly accept taxation without adequate government services.

But we accept what we have become used to, I suppose. Even so, one has to ask, what state apparatus in the “free” world could be more powerful and tyrannical than the one that taxes its citizens while providing no substantial civic benefits in return, solely in order to enrich a piratically overinflated military-industrial complex and to ease the tax burdens of the immensely wealthy.

But it is even easier to believe that the CIA and their toady media are lying again

But the once controversial theory has been gaining ground among some intelligence agencies

ie someone at the CIA who wont put their name to it, and a couple of corporate owned German newspapers who they fed it to

Financial Times

Best regards, a person familiar with the matter

And this is a country whose people have been fed heavily pro-Israel propaganda since the day they were born. What does the rest of the world think ?

or stabbed

Western media industrial complex is an integral part of the US propaganda machine. It spreads misinformation, disinformation, and outright lies about anywhere the US doesn’t happen to like

It was always going to be rejected from the moment it was announced, this is a surprise to nobody

or shot, or stabbed

regular elections

Regularly overthrown because the winner wasn’t who the US wanted

Israel is interested in continuing the war genocde

If I was a small Pacific Island nation I would look at who is leading the world towards peace and prosperity, and who is leading it to war and conflict. It would not be a hard decision to make.

Another persistent security concern is China’s pledge to bring Taiwan under its control someday, by force if necessary.

By force only if Taiwan claims independence, which it can’t do without first amending its constitution.

I wonder what percentage of the $1.6 billion Bloomberg got for that little bit of disinformation.

Try Diego Garcia

The world we live in now is the result of American “leadership” since the fall of the Soviet Union. The whole of Europe, and anyone who still thinks the US is a friend or ally, needs independence from it

Did Israel ever actually cease firing?
