Don’t say we didn’t warn you – Symposium of China’s top think tank sends classic, pre-war warning to provocative Pelosi - Global Times

"Sending fighter jets to intercept Pelosi's plane, declaring air and maritime zones around the island of Taiwan as restriction zones for military exercises … China's responses will be systematical and not limited to small scale given the severity of Pelosi's move and the damage to the political trust of China-US relations, Yang Mingjie, head of the Institute of Taiwan Studies in Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, told the Global Times. 

The PLA can also declare air and maritime zones around the island of Taiwan as restricted zones to resist Pelosi's plane. Chinese fighter jets can also fly across the island to start a new model to fight against the military actions of secessionists on the island, Wang said, noting that sending missiles surrounding the island of Taiwan and conducting military drills are also options."

Here’s a short video about George Orwell. I doubt it’s definitive yet it contains some striking quotes.

It’s only fair to post Mattias Desmet’s response to the critique by Peter & Ginger Breggin.
I regard myself as on the same side of both sets of authors!
We can always find differences if we want but I don’t think any of us are concerned that any of the authors are out to crush us!
Those operating “the narrative”, not so much.

Mattias reply on Facebook:

Dear friends and followers, I had intended during my holiday to leave social media for what it is as much as possible, but sometimes people make a small exception. Over the past week, I've been repeatedly sent the same review of my book, a review by American psychiatrist Peter Breggin and his wife Ginger Ross Breggin. I finally decided to read that review. It only took me a few lines to understand that Peter and his wife are not entirely happy with my theory of mass formation and totalitarianism. Among other things, they accuse me of trying to hide the fact that there is a major conspiracy going on and that I don't really know what mass formation is. How could masses be formed in the corona crisis, people were not even allowed to physically come together? I would say, a crowd doesn't have to come together physically at all to be a crowd. Jacques Ellul described this very aptly in his book Propaganda. The modern masses are almost always so-called 'lonely masses', where the individuals are all sitting at home on their couches, but through the mass media are all gripped by the same images, representations, stories. It is even in that state of solitary mass formation that individuals are maximally susceptible to indoctrination and propaganda. However, Breggin and Breggin's critiques go a lot further than that. I would be 'victim blaming' and purposefully demoralize 'the counter-movement' (my book is not what it seems, I am paid to burden the counter-movement with guilt, I am, in short, controlled opposition):

'Desmet's book is a dangerous Trojan horse calculated to keep us feeling confused and self-blaming and for giving hostile forces ammunition for discrediting both the suffering of people under COVID-19 and for dismissing anyone who researches and finds conspiracies behind COVID-19. It pushes a psychology and philosophy in which human beings are devoid of individual value and the ability to make rational choices. It strengthens the enemies of freedom while discouraging research into the enormously organized, highly coordinated threat of growing totalitarianism throughout the world. Worse yet, it could discourage well-meaning individuals from taking action to defend our freedoms — and that appears to be a major unwritten purpose behind his book.'

With some sense of humor: In this way a person learns something new about himself! Dear Peter, dear Ginger Ross, maybe we should have a virtual cup of tea together and talk quietly from person to person? Send me an email and you can ask me any questions you want, I will answer to the best of my ability. We can even make a podcast about it together. Indeed, I don't think that the world is destroyed in the first place because of a great conspiracy - society is destroyed in the first place because of a certain ideology, a certain view of man and the world. It is only in the second instance that all kinds of institutions and persons build up power and get the population under their control. And the population is indeed not innocent of that. Elite and population are a reflection of each other, both determined by and gripped by the same ideology. Seeing the population as a passive victim will not help the population. The solution to the impasse we are in is not to forcibly eliminate any elite. On the contrary: that is the recipe for self-destruction. The solution does consist in increasing the space for humanity. So is what you call 'the counter-movement'. This countermovement will not be destroyed by being infiltrated by a conspiracy controlled opposition. If the counter-movement of anything is damaged, it is the fact that, now that their object of fear has faded into the background for a while, they are at each other's throats and no longer make the effort to speak and talk to each other. listen. So feel free to tell me your story and I'll listen. For my part, I will also make an effort to tell my story as best I can, this time formulated as a response to your critiques and reservations. Mattias

I admire this doctors courage. I feel disgust for the doctors who ran for the door as soon as he began to speak.
This is the world we’re living in & it will turn & improve when enough of us decide we’re not being pushed another inch.

Carbon Credits, Digital Stalking, and Social Credit Scores: Individual Freedoms Ends With Digital ID

Australian Senator Malcolm Roberts: "It is only through the relentless digital stalking of citizens that the Liberal National's government can micromanage purchasing choices. Businesses are punished with tax while consumers get their credit score docked."

"When the Liberals tell you that digital identity will make your life easier. Remember, there is no such thing as a free lunch."

This seems so big a story that, providing its correct as described, it’s hard to believe this can be hidden indefinitely from the German public.
I’d like the English speaking world to be aware, too.
If it isn’t correct, it’s bang on as an aspiration.
One jarring note for me was the claim that “the gene based vaccines worked against the Wuhan strain, but not the omicron”.
1. I don’t think there’s evidence that it ever prevented death in the vulnerable elderly (whatever the cause)
2. This is an own goal, because the corrupt grouping of pharma, regulators & “public health” / government are about to announce that claimed omicron-tuned “vaccines” are imminently to be made available. I won’t be surprised if that ends up being mandated.
You do not need to justify declining a vaccine mandate. They’re always illegal.

We’re privileged through inquisitiveness to see behind the curtain a little. So to a recent speech in the Australian parliament.
Just as you would simply not even be aware there was strong disagreement in the Australian legislature unless you’d dug below the surface, imagine how unlikely it is that you’d come across this, if you didn’t already suspect there was something bad going on.
Senator Antic has spoken out often, with precise language & unflappability for many months (if not longer).
In the Westminster parliament, we see Sir Christopher Chope, routinely pressing publicly for recognition that some people are being harmed or killed by these c19 injectable, but that they - or their surviving relatives - should receive compensation.
In Washington, the only person I know of who’s put himself regularly in harm’s way is Senator Ron Johnson.
Please share with others less awake than you.
Thank you,
Mike

Fear Is the Weapon of Aspiring Tyrants: "The Greatest Emergency I See Is a Lack of Strength"

Australian Senator Alex Antic: "Those who want rational debate and value freedom over the promise of safety are now labeled as threats to the public."

"The game plan is to hold us in a perpetual state of emergency until absolute power is obtained. Don't sit by the sidelines and watch our freedom fade away. You better get involved before it's too late."

China is Issuing the Same “Red Line” Warnings About Taiwan That Russia Issued About Ukraine

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has continued to pour gasoline on the foreign policy dumpster fire that is her planned visit to Taiwan next month, now reportedly encouraging other members of congress to come along for the ride.

“Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., has invited a small group of lawmakers on her official trip to Taiwan, including the top Democrat and Republican on the House Foreign Affairs Committee,” NBC News reports.

This trip, which Beijing perceives as an egregious transgression of Washington’s longstanding one-China policy, is already so incendiary that the Pentagon is now planning to send in fighter jets and other war machinery to protect Pelosi’s plane in case of attacks by the Chinese military.

The risk alone would be reason enough to cancel the trip, but adding to the concern is the fact that the Chinese government has begun warning against it using the same “red line” language that Russia was using in the lead-up to its invasion of Ukraine.

“We have repeatedly made clear our our firm opposition to Speaker Pelosi’s potential visit to Taiwan. If the US side insists on making the visit and challenges China’s red line, it will be met with resolute countermeasures,” China’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson Zhao Lijiang said Wednesday (July 27).

“The U.S. must assume full responsibility for any serious consequence arising thereof.”

🇨🇳 In the Chinese province of Fujian adjacent to Taiwan, a division of medium-range air defense systems HQ-22 of the People's Liberation Army of China was spotted.

To the question at the end, the answer is “They wouldn’t, and they’re still doing it”.

Depressing, I know, but unless people know some additional truths, they’re vulnerable to modern day abuses.

The real reason for lockdowns was not Covid19, it was class war by the oligarchy on everyone else.

The real reason for sanctions on Russian energy was not Ukraine, it was class war by the oligarchy on everyone else.
