On the US empire

Starting with a beautiful timelapse ... Followed by a look around the city, including Green Lake.

How the 'West' subjugates the 'Rest' of the world (the great majority : 86% + many in the west who do not agree with the neo-colonial agenda) with sanctions, debt and vetoes, coups and puppets. This is the insane reality - a handful of supremacists in the West impoverish their own people in order to subjugate the rest of the world. And almost all of humanity is the loser. All the wars and famines that have resulted, and continue to this day. As for Western 'democracy' (it's all about the money), one only gets to choose between two puppets pre-chosen by the elite. Trump vs Biden - need one say more. Behind the theatrics, it is us and them (poverty equals 'freedom'). With Ben Norton ...

A little outside of our usual type of post, but we think that this is a topic that ripples widely. Here, some ABCs (American Born Chinese) straight talking from real life experience. First, a hyper-drive Wei Li, with a little 'bad language', but strong message. Not Chinese, not American, just a regular Jo / Joe ? There's still a message for you / us all. Be strong, yet without any need to put others down; be totally you while appreciating others. Wei Li nails it. Never think 'better than others'; think 'best I can be' (no compromise on who you are, no fear, no hate). Asians are all A+ students, right ?! Exploring stereotypes and the harm that, often silently, can ensue. CanWen Xu ... Olivia Lai ...

The 'threat' of being a good example, that threatens the uni-polar supremacist hegemony goal of the West's elites. While China aims to build up the world (win-win), the West wants to keep it down (to be merely plundered). In China, the people are family; in the West, the people are livestock. The West's mainstream media (and countless shills) churns out an endless stream of lies. Don't be fooled again ! Mind control is nothing other than controlling what you 'know'. MSM news is nothing other than mass hypnosis. It is not there to 'report', it is there to direct / shape / frame / push an agenda. It is there to fool you and get your 'consent'. It is deception / propaganda / front-line warfare. With Jerry's Take on China ...
