Tim Walz: A Real-Life Manchurian Candidate
This Walz/China story has all the earmarks of Russian interference".
--51 intelligence officials. Posted by: illiniwek
While Walz was "teaching in China," he was apparently learning a lot from his Chinese masters, too. I missed this -- he didn't just say "one man's socialism is another man's neighborliness." He also explicitly praised communism itself, calling it "a system where everyone shares."
As a high school teacher in the 1990s, Democratic vice presidential candidate and Minnesota governor Tim Walz appeared to extol life under Chinese communism, telling his students that it is a system in which "everyone shares" and gets free food and housing. "It means that everyone is the same and everyone shares," Walz said during a lesson on China's communist system in November 1991. "The doctor and the construction worker make the same. The Chinese government and the place they work for provide housing and 14 kg or about 30 pounds of rice per month. They get food and housing."This was when he was still a member of the National Guard.
A man who traveled with Walz on some of his 30+ trips to Communist China calls Walz "maoist to the core" and says that Walz could just not stop praising China's Communist system.
Walz's remarks were reported in a 1991 article in Nebraska's Alliance Times-Herald that focused on his work on student exchange programs in China. At the time, Walz was teaching social studies at a Nebraska high school.
A man who says he joined Tim Walz on a trip to communist China is speaking out about his experience of traveling to the country with the future vice-presidential candidate. "It was almost a daily revelation of how much he adores the communist regime," the former student told Alpha News. For over a decade, Tim Walz traveled to and from China. First arriving in the country in 1989, Walz taught at a high school in partnership with a nonprofit program affiliated with Harvard University. During this first trip, Walz was visiting Hong Kong when the Tiananmen Square protests began in April. Those protests ended in June when the communist government massacred protestors on June 3-4, 1989. After the massacre, Walz later took a train to Beijing to visit the square, according to the New York Times. Upon returning to the United States after that first trip, Walz told local newspapers how much he enjoyed his time in China. On June 4, 1994, Walz married Gwen Whipple on the fifth anniversary of the Tiananmen Square massacre. Gwen told a local newspaper that Walz "wanted to have a date he'll always remember," the Wall Street Journal reported. The couple spent their honeymoon in China, according to local reports from the time. After this first trip to China, Walz founded a company that took students on summer trips to China. Walz said in a 2016 interview that he has traveled to China "about 30 times" as a teacher and member of Congress. The New York Post recently reported that Walz was a visiting fellow at a state-run university in China as recently as 2007. Now, a former student who says he joined Walz on a 1995 trip to China is speaking to Alpha News about the experience. That student, Shad, asked that we not use his last name. For several weeks, Walz and his group of students explored China together in the summer of 1995, Shad said. They saw Tiananmen Square, walked along the Great Wall of China, and traversed the country. However, the former student says he was struck by Walz's adoration for China and its communist ideology. "There was no doubt he was a true believer," Shad said. "I've been trying to tell people this for 30 years. Nobody wanted to listen. "At night, we'd go out, we'd walk the street fairs. We'd be buying souvenirs and Tim was always buying the little red book. He said he gave them as gifts ... I saw him buy at least a dozen on the trip," he said. "It would be like in Germany and buying copies of Mein Kampf," the then student told Alpha news. "If there was any doubt about what I'm saying just look at the policies enacted by his administration like the country's worst abortion law, anti-free speech, the riots," Shad pointed out. "He's a Maoist to the core and should not be underestimated." Shad drew attention to the similarities between the messaging of Walz and Kamala Harris--including phrases like "the politics of joy" and "unburdened by what has been"--and the propaganda materials used by Mao. "People need to have their eyes wide open," Shad said. "The snitch hotline in Minnesota is straight out of CCP. Tim Walz is a very bright guy. None of this by accident."
Kyle SmithJesse Watters asked James Comer if the Chinese would have videotaped this American on his wedding night, and if they may have groomed him as an agent-of-influence. Comer allowed it was possible. He's demanding the FBI turn over its records about Walz and his trips to China. You know that the criminal Christopher Wray will shred them before he gives those up. They're openly saying at the DNC that if Walz is elected, he'll be the first "Chinese Vice President."
@rkylesmith Walz and his wife Gwen held their wedding on the fifth anniversary of the Tiananmen Square massacre--with Gwen Walz saying her husband "wanted to have a date he'll always remember." Kristallnacht was booked?

What you really got with this (RFKJ) speech was a look at what a politician SHOULD be; able to speak extemporaneously, defend his positions, and say the truth (or at least his opinion) without equivocation. The fact that those things are nonexistent in the Dem campaign speaks volumes. It's a disaster for them. People might actually come to expect them.

Sure. The problem is it's also a system where nobody produces beyond the absolute minimum, so what they're sharing is poverty.
Though it's not like the Chinese system is anything like communism aside from the name. It's a weird mix of fascism and free market.

It's hilarious that Waltz claims that high-status people in the PRC receive the same housing and rations as low-status people in the PRC.
It takes about twenty minutes in a Communist country to figure out that that's not true - unless you are deliberately lying, of course.

Walz is basically what would happen if Bernie Sanders was a Governor. MN was literally up in smoke not long after he was sworn in. Jacked up taxes to a crazy level and starts cutting off kids genitalia. With tampons in the little boys rooms.

White dude here who spent 8 years in China and speaks fluent Mandarin with part-Chinese wife and children... Nobody honeymoons in China who isn't already living there. And many who are want to honeymoon elsewhere... This is beyond a fetish. This guy probably has a Mao jacket and hat on display in his office...

Had a little experience in China myself. I'll add: no one even OBSERVES June 4 in any way. The date is submerged in the calendar like any other. No one publicly considers, "This is the anniversary of..." Except for the invisible but high alerts and the police barriers all around Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City, the day is not noted at all.

the great thing about his speech is, while his official position is kind of nuanced, the gist of it makes for an easy headline: "RFK Jr suspends campaign; endorses Trump."
There's more going on than that, with his plan to get off the ballot in battleground states but stay on in heavy blue states, to try and spoil things for Kamala, but the headline is what 90% of America will see, and it's all good for Trump.
Is this the first time a 3rd party nominee has admitted "I'm just here to spoil it for those guys over there."
I know it happened during the first presidential election, but that was an entirely different election process.

799 Kansas federal district court rules machine guns are protected by the 2A.
Does anyone think the future admin will support this? RFK Jr? SCOTUS?
This could be a winner at the SCOTUS; the Heller decision lies at the heart of the Kansas ruling. The court did not find that machine guns were both dangerous and unusual. All those gangsters with Glock switches certainly argue they aren't that unusual.

He pretty much hated the place by the time he left.
I have been to China a couple of times. It seems everyone has enough to eat, and everyone works. But the government is pretty omnipresent, in everything. People know enough to "behave". I did see some regular chinese guys arguing with a government policeman (not sure what it was about), but people have some material freedoms ....if they behave. Hence their system of tyranny, the social credit score.
The big bridge across Shanghai Bay (about 30 miiles long) was already under repair in 2012 when I was last there. There have been a lot of rains in the Yellow River valley this summer, and the 3 Gorges Dam was thought by some that is would fail. It bulges a little now. Most Chinese that I have ever know were nice people, but their government is something else. A very efficient modern tyranny.

RFK has just proven for the final time he is more devoted to country and ideals than self. I’ve seen the argument proffered that somehow the fact that RFK and Trump diverge on some issues is problematic. What is problematic is the fact we have had for years administration's which have been devoid of or immune to criticism that’s rooted in real, substantive, material disagreements. That applies to both parties, buts it’s more so now an issue for Democrats and their cult-like Maoist approach to our democratic republic. The very idea that Trump would welcome RFK despite their disagreements and provide him a chance to make a difference with issues he is passionate and well informed about shows a genuine interest in resolving problems for our country.
We may have some problems with our party, but welcoming rivals and hearing what they have to say isn’t one of them. Debate and the freedom to exchange ideas is the cornerstone of our republic. Restoring that process and the democratic ideals are the sine qua non of ensuring we achieve our goals.

China though has dropped the One Child Policy in the last years, though the people aren't responding with more kids. A lot of that is the incoming demographic crisis of the aging population which was going to pay for their retirement with fraudulent real estate investments. The traditional "kids pay for their parents and family" will break down when there are just one couple to take care of all the elderly.

I find it vastly amusing that the ChiComs pulled the same stunt with the Russians when they began building Su-27 fighters domestically. After building about 100 copies, they had to go back to the Russians and contract with Sukhoi to rebuild the planes because the Chinee-built copies were so bad that they could barely get them into the air.

He has NVLD, which is non verbal learning disorder, so you are correct as is Nova, he does speak. I should have checked into it more before spouting off! He is on the spectrum. My daughter is more Asperger’s like, if they still used that term, in her social affect. But doesn’t have the savant part. She also has dyslexia, so very different from NVLD. Not sure if Elon does or doesn’t, honestly. Gus also has sensory issues, and ADHD, but the symptoms of ADHD mirror a lot of autism symptoms.

He said they got the same "salary" which was much closer to true. That's usually how it goes. But the important people get dachas and apartments owned by the government and minions and government workers to drive them about. Government offices would give gifts off the books.
Back in USSR days Breshnev was gifted one or more luxury cars every time he met a western leader. Once he took a liking to a US diplomat's staffers watch, a gift from the fellow's wife and the man was forced to hand it over.

Pretty much all the communist flags are stylish and impressive. I am sure the idiots in charge would not be so good at flag design. Another vapid tricolor? Or some diagonal stripey crapfest.

Do you think any member of a politburo member's family was out standing in ration lines?
No, they weren't. They rewarded politburo members for their "substantial contributions" to the Soviet Empire.
It's intuitive that how you get from people "according to their ability/contribution" is incentive.
And you can't get away from that even in the "Dictatorship (In The Name) of The Proletariat" that's going to one day turn into a fully egalitarian society and, actually, never does.

Even if you don't like Ayn Rand, finding the chapter on the car factory ruined by being run by Communist principles is a great story of an abstract evil being shown in the concrete effect on individuals it has. Its where John Galt started his rebellion, walking out and leaving his magical motor on the table, knowing there would be nothing they could do with it.
It went bankrupt, and in the last speech the children of the owners blamed the workers.

Because leftism is "founded" in a refusal to deal with reality.
It can start out with some pretty anodyne flights of fantasy about what could actually be better. But it bogs down in insisting that reality go along with theory.

Remember, socialism is always the best and most radiant path for humanity, except when it fails economically and merely becomes an murderous totalitarianism because it was infected with capitalism. Every damned time, we have to find a way to make that stop.

I think what it also says, and despite how democrats always try and portray him, is that Trump isn't a mean and hateful person. I always tell people to watch the video when Trump first learns of Justice Ginsberg's death. Here's a woman who made no secret that she didn't like him and was working as a SCotUS justice to stop him. But he took a second, and with no speechwriters needed, gave one of the most heartfelt and nice comments about someone ive ever heard.
Contrast that with democrats who always just say the most hateful and vile things, at times literally foaming at the mouth with rage.

Press Release
AFT’s Weingarten on Kamala Harris’ Selection of Tim Walz as Her Running Mate
‘The future starts here—and we are not going back’
For Release:
Tuesday, August 6, 2024
In part, “Walz and Harris are about opportunity and freedom—the freedom to join a union, the freedom to thrive, to make our own healthcare decisions, to be free from gun violence. They will stand up for the middle class against a weak, dark, dystopian alternative that wants to send us back to the past.
“Gov. Walz is a proud educator who drew on his experience in the classroom to show Minnesotans what a pro-education, pro-labor administration can look like. He is from a small town, served in the military and has consistently given back to his community. He believes the essence of America is to be kind to your neighbor and to help those around you thrive. And he is a former AFT member.
