"American" "News" Media Are Now Agents of the Communist Chinese Regime
It's time for investigations, and it's time to strip the networks of the free use of the airwaves -- those are supposed to be used for the American public good, not for China's.
Here's that Chinese agent they all White Knighted for. She read a clearly scripted propaganda statement -- why aren't you giving China credit for how masterfully it has fought coronavirus, and how generously it has aided the world? -- and Trump called her on it. The media flipped out.President Trump asks a reporter "who are you working for, China?"

She says that her company is private and based in Hong Kong. pic.twitter.com/jDNcAlO4Y4
The Chinese government’s propaganda machine has hyped medical aid that it has provided the United States and other countries during the pandemic. Cui Tiankai, China’s ambassador to the U.S., published a New York Times op-ed on Sunday highlighting the aid. Chinese officials have downplayed the government’s role in hiding the true extent of the coronavirus outbreak, which began at a wildlife food market in Wuhan.And so is ABC/Disney -- because you gotta be a Chinese Agent if you want "Aladdin" to play in Beijing.
In this tweet, @ABC is publishing what appears to be a largely uncut propaganda video from China Central Television, which is state television that answers to the Chinese Communist Party. https://t.co/UTg0NyMXkw

U.S. reports 1,264 coronavirus deaths in over 24 hours.

Meanwhile in China, where the pandemic broke out, not a single new coronavirus death was reported. https://t.co/ooXkR9X2L5
Under the Foreign Agents Registration Act, 22 USC 611 et seq, I’m pretty sure NBC is now legally obligated to close every broadcast with—and append to every tweet—“this message paid for by the Communist Party of China.” https://t.co/fmg11oJnDY

I was late for the previous thread so I'll post this here, but more news that hopefully means this pandemic is drawing down: I got a call from my physical therapy clinic that they're seeing patients again, although only three days per week.
I frankly wish they could have gone to the three-day schedule originally, instead of being completely closed for a couple weeks, but at least it looks like this thing may finally BE COMING TO AN END.

I told him a wanted nothing to do with AT&T as I considered the company seditious and an enemy of the United States. He sounded shocked I would say something like that and I referenced AT&T providing phone records to political rivals and promoting the crack pots on CNN.
He was still sputtering as I hung up. And ATT was displayed on my desk phone so I assume he was legit.

Until China sends us $$$ to pay for this, no distribution in China. Any distribution in violation of this, then you lose your copyright. Perfectly Constitutional.
In reality, it would be better if the Chinese people used the black market to obtain access to American media because that would create distrust in their government overlords.

Oh, dear.
When my college kids returned home after the University of Tennessee canceled live classes for the semester due to coronavirus, my wife and I laid down the law."You're in a functioning home now," we said. "This isn't a college dorm. We'll go to bed at a decent hour and get up at a decent hour."
Exactly 10 days later I found myself logging onto the online multiplayer video game World of Warcraft at 1:30 a.m., just minutes after we finished binging Tiger King on Netflix. I logged off at 2:40 a.m. My college son was already fast asleep.
We fought the good fight against the college life, and the college life won.

If the Commies ('republicans', snicker) had won the Spanish Civil War, Hitler would have invaded Spain, and probably closed the Straits of Gibraltar.
Curiously, by doing that he may have actually won WWII, by cutting off the British from North Africa.
Rommels Afrika Corps would then have rolled through Egypt, and then into the ME and into the Southern USSR. Also cutting off the southern Lend Lease route to Russia (through the port of Basra and then through Iran). Ultimately defeating the USSR.
Game. Set. Match.

with criminal activity and sinister behavior in the USA, and cops keep
an eye out for that sort of thing. So yes, I could buy that some

EU top scientist resigns at height of coronavirus over bloc's outbreak response: 'I have lost faith'
The chief of the European Union's top science organization resigned Tuesday at the height of the coronavirus pandemic, saying he "lost faith" in the EU's response to the crisis.
Professor Mauro Ferrari, president of the European Research Council (ERC), claimed red tape and internal politics hindered his ability to take swift and comprehensive action against the pandemic. He was only three months into his four-year term before resigning.
Prior to leading the organization, Ferrari was best known as a pioneering scientist in the field of nanomedicine who worked for decades in the U.S.
Ferrari's resignation was announced in a statement he released to the Financial Times. He complained about running into institutional and political obstacles as he sought to set up a scientific program to combat the virus.
"I have seen enough of both the governance of science and the political operations at the European Union," he wrote in the statement. "I have lost faith in the system itself."

ABC Cheers China as 'Glimmer of Hope,' Trashes Trump for 'Missed Warning Signs'
https://tinyurl.com/qnjvy8z

As footage appeared on screen of Wuhan lit up with light shows and images of Chinese government propaganda, Roberts gushed:
The people counted down like it was New Year's Eve, I don't blame them, midnight light show, skyscrapers lit up with the words, "Hello, Wuhan." Air, train, and bus service into and out of the area is back. Now we should say, some restrictions do remain, but, George, this is definitely progress that we want to see.
Fellow co-host George Stephanopoulos chimed in: "It is so good to see that progress, Robin."
Just moments before that cheering of China, Stephanopoulos teased: "Breaking this morning, an exclusive ABC News investigation. American military medical investigators sounded the alarm about coronavirus back in November. So why didn't the White House ramp up efforts to combat COVID-19 more quickly?"

We will soon elect a new president for no other reason that his name sounds sort of like covid or wuhan or corona or something. He'll have to be Chinese. We will also find out that he's actually not human but some kind of Communist China / SARS virus / human hybrid out to kill all of us and destroy the USA.

My suspicion for why Trump went along with this nonsense is that he didn't want to give these bastards the opportunity to hang deaths around his neck.
Which is why they keep making ridiculous statements such as we can't go back to normal until there isn't a single additional death, which is a patently absurd, unachievable standard.
Which means at some point Trump is going to have to go against his "experts" if they can't be brought to reason.

No, it isn't. China - like all unfree dictatorships, is a model of the past. It has always been - to some degree or another - like it is in China. Dictators, a ruling class or aristocracy, and unfree peasants who are kept poor and powerless by the same.
China, most of Europe, central Asia, etc. The list is endless. What they are doing is the historical norm.
And it is why, historically, virtually everyone was poor, cold and stumbling around in darkness. It was't until Western Europe and the US upset the apple cart that *any* of this changed.
You can pretty it up however you like, but China - and all such systems, whatever the window dressings - is the past.

There is a discussion forum I joined called The Acoustic Guitar Forum, and it has thousands of members. A lot of them list their guitars in their signature line, and many of those sig lines show lineups with values in the many tens of thousands.
For guitar snobs, the makers are almost all American companies, with some euro and aussie names, but for the most part, the snobby guys with glitzy lineups have Martins, Taylors, Gibsons, Santa Cruzes, Collings, Huss & Dalton, all those makers selling instruments for numbers between $1500 and $6000 per.
So it always was, some newbie coming on the forum and asking, "Hey, what do you think of the Ibanez DL320 I tried out at Guitar Center today?," and you could always count on one of the stuffed shirts, saying, "well you know it is made in China with slave labor, so consider a Taylor XSXX instead."
So today I played troll. A guy said he wondered what the Yamaha Red Label FX3 was all about, having played one in a store.
Yamaha brought out the Red Label line just last year, and makes the FX3 in a Chinese factory. They make the upgrade one the FX5, in Japan.
So I said something like, well, given the current news, I would think one would not want to get that one made in the "country-we-can-not-name," and that he should consider looking at the FX5 one made in Japan.
I also said I am going to get rid of the ones I own made in that "country-we-cannot-name."
Immediately, and I expected this, some leftist guitar collector calls me out. Saying "China. There, I said it for you. And ignorance like that has no place here."

Trump is MSM's Main Adversary, China's just presently on the same side as the MSM.
If Xi came out tomorrow and said, "Trump is an amazing man and I just spoke to Joe Biden ... and well he's a demented old fool." Within the HOUR, CNN/MSNBC would be running stories about Uighur concentration camps and thinly sourced stories about Chinese infiltration attempts into the NRA or whatever.

There's always someone who wants to prove they are the smartest, wisest and warmest person anywhere.
Or otherwise, they can LOLGF!
Anyways, I likely have a lot of junk made in China in my house. We all likely have some.
We have to all reconsider what this all means.
I have been to China a couple of times (as my company does a LOT of business in China), and the Chinese people are generally very friendly and nice (especially if you have something they want, or want to sell you something).
I don't know how we break the "China" habit now, as so much stuff is made in China and imported into the US. A lot of things say "Assembled in the US from components made....elsewhere".
Mexico? China? Taiwan? Thailand?
When I was a kid in the 60's, because of the company my Dad worked for, we were very aware of Japanese competition coming into the US.
But Japanese goods got more expensive (with usually very good quality). So that big "threat" kind of faded.
Chinese goods are generally mediocre at best, and their cost is rising. We have gotten used to accepting their mediocrity as a price for being more affordable.

One of the many infuriating parts of that whole scandal is that Bill Clinton got one of his friends to give Monica a no-show cushy job to shut her up.

I tried that series once. And I love cartoons if they are well done (a la Pinky and the Brain). Couldn't hack R and S.

China built it's empire on IP theft and corruption. Right from the start they were a new type of evil.

You're telling me I can have my bread, and you'll give me butter too? For less??
Right. But how much does it cost me to milk the cow and churn the butter?

I didn't have a lot of choice. I needed Internet to work from home, and I needed it pretty quick, so I had little chance to shop around.

Truth as we understand it in the Anglosphere is a foreign concept in
Asia--my experiences in multiple travels and interactions confirm that.
(FWIW, I actually very much enjoy their cultures and the people, but
dissimulation is an art form in there).

I've had the opportunity to abandon news (except for AoSHQ and assorted links) completely. Even "fair and balanced" FOXNews (but for Gutfeld on weekends) has disappeared from my view. Life is much less stressful and more productive now. I choose not to watch the hourly sh*tshows posing as information. Wish I had done this purge years ago.
So, thanks COVID-19. You've performed something of a service.

China historically has used bribery as a routine diplomatic tool. It struck gold in the Imperial City and its propaganda apparatus.

Not unusual. With my father it was three weeks--and he'd regularly been going to the doctor's for check-ups.

She's got a nice, steady paycheck from Fox, so no worries for her. Or Juan. Or the rest.
I'd love them to walk a mile in a small business owner's shoes right now. Just for a day. They'd be curled in fetal positions.

And he voluntarily retired, and resumed holding elections, which is almost unheard of in the annals of dictatorships.

Sounds like you have been taken in by some Commie propaganda. There were many, many Commie apologists, back in the day, spreading lies about Pinochet. IIRC, his total bag was about 3500 dead Commies and fellow travelers.

Of course she is. Remember during the Beijing Olympics when they had a cute girl lip-synch the song while a homely girl provided the voice?

Once I develop my time machine and exoskeleton technology, I have two steps.
Step one is to pick up the French postmodernist philosophers and the 20th century American journalists.
Step two is to work them to death on the Grand North American Dignity Canal, then have them taxidermied inside of the exoskeletons, and set their reanimated corpses to digging once again, until sufficiently moth-eaten to warrant permanent retirement.

Given our horrific public school system...who exactly?
Americans constantly shoot themselves in the foot and blame others for taking advantage of the situation. I'm thinking that if we had a public school system worth a damn that cared about teaching hard science to...well, anybody (they have an obsessive devotion to girls only, because), we might have more Americans applying. But we don't.

What do we want the FCC to do about it? Yank their broadcast licenses... and then give those licenses to whom? Some company that can't be bought up by the aforementioned Sinophile entertainment media parent corps? How do we ensure that?
