If the intent was to get western elites to simultaneously support totalitarianism in their own countries while pretending to oppose it in China, then Xi Jinping has certainly made his point.
It is close to the place that I cannot even look at pro-jabbers anymore. They all look and sound like Trudeau now.
Their hardline pro-jab stance seems to irradicate any propensity for rational thought on any other level.
If it were only themselves they were dragging into hell I would buy a bulldozer and push them quicker to their desired demise. But hell no...these lunatics want to take the entire world with them.
Which they may well accomplish yet.
Hate is such a hard place to avoid right now. Think foregivness.
in the middle of 2021, my brother, my only sibling, told me and my wife that the unvaxxed belong in camps. He knew we were unvaxxed and would never willingly submit to the covid shot.
At Thanksgiving last week, he wore a mask, except while he was eating, and according to him, the mask remained on, for my safety. For the record, I told him to take the mask off. He refused. And he didn't apologize for wanting to inter the unvaxxed. I know he never will.
I hope the government and media members who sowed division and lies, get as may boosters as they wish.
It’s difficult for me to write this off as hypocrisy. After the bulk of western nations went full-steam ahead on the egregious COVID policies, the human rights violations are beyond counting. The fact that, once again in lockstep, all the western nations are speaking out against the CCP, tells me there’s an agenda at play. Just remember: Xi is a valued player at the WEF…. So I’d want to peel away a few more layers to better understand their strategy. Also…. Time to ditch Apple! Does anyone have any advice on how to save my photos and music? And whether a Linux based phone offers the best privacy? Please explain as though I’m wearing a mask by myself in a car😂😂😂
As I heard Trudeau's mealy mouthed words (eavesdropped...) this evening, had to leave the living room in utter disgust.
It's the hypocrisy!! 😝
"Canadians are watching very closely. Obviously everyone in China should be allowed to express themselves (and) should be allowed to share their perspectives, and indeed protest," he said.
"We're going to continue to ensure that China knows we'll stand up for human rights. We'll stand with people who are expressing themselves. We also need to make sure that China, and places around the world, are respecting journalists and their ability to do their job."
His comments come just after weeks of testimony over Trudeau's invocation of the Emergencies Act to clear out-of-hand protests in Canada last winter, which ranged from discontent over vaccine requirements to rage fuelled by conspiracy theories."
it is interesting to see where everyone stands when it comes to freedom. Amnesty International is not all that amnesty nor international at all. Apple is despisable. All the rest of BigEverything is not much better. Few golden apples and lots of rotten ones in this BigBasket. Thanks for putting yet another finger on sore spots.
Michael complex ideas synthesised eloquently! Thank you. Im raging! Im so MAD that these virtue signalling arsehole human rights Amnesty BLEAT 'racism' and throw crap 💩 out to people like me and you for calling out government OVERREACH, the destruction of civil rights, a fucked up lockdown which really was a zero covid policy. These ARSEHOLE HYPOCRITES and their bs racism, white supremacy CRAP! What about the suffering and total destruction of life as we knew it. My life has been altered FOREVER coz ZERO COVID POLICY in Victoria (Australia), meant the suicide of my son's father. You know we have to rename the period of lockdowns to call it zero covid policy because many useful (ignorant) idiots BELIEVED lockdowns worked. But it was ZERO COVID POLICY just like the CCP has.
Tucker Carlson (and Michael today) did us a service by highlighting the fact that Apple seemingly endorses China’s crack-down on “Zero Covid” protests in China. If I remember correctly, Tucker's recent monologue also included a scroll of scores of companies that have either pulled advertising from Twitter or are threatening to do this (in “protest” of Twitter possibly allowing real free speech under the ownership of Musk).
This actually makes an important and under-appreciated point. Namely, all of these major companies have supported social media and legacy media sites that have implemented brazen censorship policies for almost three years. That is, with their advertising expenditures, they are endorsing companies that violate the founding tenet of our nation (free speech).
Conversely, these companies have BOYCOTTED sites that DO allow free speech and allow commentary and journalism that challenges any of the “authorized” narratives. For example, this is why My Pillow is the only big advertiser on Tucker’s show. This is why we don’t see Pfizer or Coca Cola or GM or Procter & Gamble running commercials in Tucker’s show.
Nor do we see any major company placing ads at sites like Zero Hedge or Citizens Free Press, which happen to have tens of millions of regular visitors (every one of whom is a consumer, who companies would be expected to want to reach).
Another example would be the Daily Sceptic. This site’s audience has dramatically increased in the last two years. The site is now running a few ads. However, I don’t even have to ask - I know - no major company is going to place an ad at The Daily Sceptic.
Bottom-line: Just about every company in the world endorses and supports rampant censorship and has intentionally withheld advertising from sites that do allow free speech. This is a massive “tell” about how rotten our system has become and how “captured” virtually all our major companies now are.
First it was Covid Amnesty, now it's Covid Amnesia - they seem to have forgotten what they said about their own countries last year.
But what is the real intention for these videos of protests being leaked? China has a tight control on the Internet so most of what we are seeing has been allowed to be leaked.
There is a Monk debate coming up about whether or not we can trust the MSM. The answer should be obvious by now but, understandable, the debate does not range the question wide enough because clearly the MSM group think is being shaped beyond the MSM (and I include big tech in that). Hard not to be a conspiracy theorist in such times, surely this cannot just be a mass delusion, I mean the Nazis were real, not a whacky conspiracy theory and so were the Leninist/Stalinists and the Maoists so why do we recoil from conspiracy theories when history tells us conspiracy happens and with massive consequences?

Re: Journalist hypocrisy, examples of same
A couple of weeks ago I published an article giving the example of my state’s leading sports columnist.
This columnist had previously written a column eviscerating Auburn’s (then) head football coach (Harsin) for not getting his Covid vaccine. As one of our state’s most high-profile leaders, Coach Harsin was setting a terrible example to others and was probably putting countless lives at risk, this columnist wrote.
A few months ago, I emailed this columnist and asked him if he wanted to apologize to Coach Harsin now that the whole world knew that the vaccines didn’t prevent infection or spread. I also asked him if he still thinks “everyone” should still get their Covid boosters?
In a snarky way, he did reply that he thought everyone should get their boosters. I then asked him in a follow-up email if he had gotten his booster yet. You know, for some reason, he never replied to this simple “yes or no” question.
As we now know, at least 89 percent of the population has decided to NOT get these boosters. This probably means a very high percentage of journalists, editors and columnists have also not gotten their boosters. Well, why haven’t they?
They of course know that the boosters don’t work and they probably know they aren’t safe either. And still they keep pushing them for others and will not admit they were wrong for two years when they lobbied relentlessly for everyone to get these shots. These “persuaders” also did everything in their power to smear the people who didn’t get them.
The hypocrisy is everywhere. Calling these people out as the hypocrites they really are is always a worthwhile project.

The hypocrisy is so glaring lately. It's incredible how people don't see it in themselves.

Good read here too. Similar receipts
When democracy’s very existence hinges on civic virtue and that breaks down then people long for totalitarianism. Sad, but true.

Naturally, Justin Trudeau supports the protestors. Truckers? Not so much.
Fu*king brilliant work comparing the MSM, etc !
Never forget!
