Potomac Media’s filing with the Justice Department provides extensive details about its arrangement with the International Communication Planning Bureau, an arm of the Communist Party’s Propaganda Department. The Planning Bureau can review broadcasts and verify programming, according to…

Excerpt:

Pro-Beijing candidates have claimed a victory in Hong Kong’s Legislative Council (LegCo) election, as the city saw its lowest-ever voter turnout.

It was the first LegCo election since China made sweeping and controversial changes to the city’s electoral system.

Officials argue the changes were needed to ensure stability, but critics say they weakened democracy.

On Monday, Beijing also unveiled a statement outlining “democracy with Hong Kong characteristics”.

In a white paper released hours after election results were announced, China said Hong Kong was now entering a new stage of “restored order” as a result of these Beijing-introduced changes.

Alabama Rejects National School Board After it Calls Parents Terrorists

Paul Collier December 10, 2021

More and more states are severing ties with the National School Boards Association after it made it clear to these states that it no longer respected the Bill of Rights as the Lady Liberty, the only Queen of the Land that she is.
Apparently, this organization believes the Federal Government should use the FBI to shake down and intimidate, threaten, and even arrest American parents for daring to tell school boards what they thought of their overtly racist and bigoted, anti-American, anti-bill-of-rights ideology they’ve decided to cram through our schools unconstitutionally.
They wrote a letter to President Biden pleading with him to use FBI power to silence the dissenters to the DNC Inc version of Social Justice indoctrination plan. Alabama joins this group, and if your state hasn’t already, it certainly should. This organization equates parents exercising their right to address their own government, of which they are an equal part of, through our Constitution, with disdain should be equated with terrorism, threatening parents with decades of prison time if the intent of this vile CCP-lite letter from this organization represents.
More and more these usurpers of American institutions will have to expose the true ugly nature of their scapegoat revenge ideology as more and more Americans feel the personal cost of surrendering their sovereignty, their liberty, to such tyranny disguised as ‘justice’ and ‘ending hate.’

Alabama Association Of School Boards Dumps National Organization

Excerpt:

The Alabama Association of School Boards is the most recent state organization to remove itself from the National School Boards Association after executives sent a letter to the Biden administration begging it to take federal legal action against parents who are concerned about the content and quality of their children’s education.

“I will say [the withdrawal is] because of longstanding concerns,” AASB Executive Director Sally Smith told 1819 News. “The letter to the President and subsequent events was really the proverbial straw that broke the camel’s back.”

According to Smith, the AASB already struggled to represent the needs of Alabama school board members, so when the national organization’s leaders went behind state leaders’ backs to demand that the Biden administration use “domestic terrorism” laws to target parents who want to hold school boards accountable, the AASB dumped the NSBA.

“AASB chose to let its membership in NSBA lapse due to long-standing…

Suicide Pod Saves Humanity

Ivo Fysic December 10, 2021

It looks beatiful. I can’t wait to die in it. Someday, you might find yourself saying these words if you are wealthy enough. You can just hop aboard your jet to Switzerland and buy yourself a suicide pod that will take you through the joy of life and fruition of everything while it kills you.

You can have your last moments in whatever way you like, and then be knocked unconscious and suffocated to death. Afterwards, the thing you died in will be removed. But, don’t worry, that’s your biodegradable coffin. That’s right, you’re being recycled, friend, just as you hoped you would be.

This seems good.

I can’t wait until the public models allow the state to ‘encourage’ the burdensome to pod it, so to speak. You can do it, or pod it, and we, the state, might eventually decide. But that would never happen, right?

3D-printed suicide pods are now legal in Switzerland

The Sarco suicide capsule will be used for assisted suicide. (Credits: Matteor)

The Sarco suicide capsule, to be used in assisted suicide, has passed legal review in Switzerland and may legally be operated in the country.

Switzerland has allowed assisted suicide with unselfish motives since 1942.

Assisted suicide is different from active euthanasia which is still illegal in Switzerland.

However, supplying the means for committing suicide is legal, as long as the action which directly causes death is performed by the one wishing to die.

The ‘Sarco’ machine has been developed by Exit International, a non-profit organisation advocating for the legalisation of voluntary euthanasia and assisted suicide.

‘It’s a 3-D printed capsule, activated from the inside by the person intending to die. The machine can be towed anywhere for the death. It can be in an idyllic outdoor setting or in the premises of an assisted suicide organisation, for example,’ ….

Once activated, the capsule floods the interior with nitrogen and rapidly reduces oxygen, causing the individual to lose consciousness and, ultimately, pass away without choking or panicking.

Once the process is complete, the biodegradable capsule can then be detached from the machine’s base in order to serve as the deceased person’s coffin.

Xi Targets Christians for Han Nationalization

Paul Collier December 10, 2021

The ethno-state of the People’s Republic of China under the leadership of Chairman Xi is stepping up its efforts to track down religious practitioners not following the Party-altered versions of religious that the Party will allow. For instance, there are CCP-altered versions of Christianity and Buddhism.
Xi is announcing new efforts to nationalize (make Han Chinese) all beliefs and customs to harmonize with the Middle Kingdom, the beacon of the world, whose beacon, Socialism with Chinese Characteristics, will one day shape the societies of the world. These are my words, but Xi’s hopes, and paraphrased words.
Xi appears more and more to need a nationalist narrative to sustain his stranglehold on power while at home he suffers embarrassing loss after embarrassing loss, from natural disasters to corruption to economic shake-ups. As the state struggles more and more to satisfy its primary base of power, the few wealthy cities of the nation, Xi’s ability to keep his own CCP wolves at bay from within might become more and more strained.

The Ghislaine Maxwell trial is continuing, with a 44 year old woman named Kate taking the stand to testify that Maxwell sent her out to find girls her age (she was 17 at the time), that Maxwell asked her to dress up in a school girls’ uniform when she met with Epstein, and that Maxwell regularly bragged about being friends with Prince Andrew and Donald Trump, both of whom had been mentioned by the pilot as being two among many others that he had seen fly on Epstein’s plane.

The woman — testifying at Maxwell’s sex-abuse trial in New York City using the pseudonym “Kate” to protect her privacy — described one episode during the mid-1990s at Epstein’s Palm Beach, Florida estate where Maxwell left out a schoolgirl’s outfit with a pleated skirt for her to wear for the financier.

“I thought it would be fun for you to take Jeffrey his tea in this outfit,” the witness recalled Maxwell telling her.

“Kate,” said the pleated skirt, white socks and shirt were laid out for her on a bed when she arrived at Epstein’s Palm Beach mansion in Florida with the duo in the early 1990s.

“I thought it would be fun for you to take Jeffrey his tea in this outfit,” she says Ms Maxwell told her.

Asked why she wore it, she replied: “I didn’t know how to say no to that. I didn’t know anybody in Florida. I had never been to Palm Beach or Florida before. I wasn’t sure if I said no if I would have to leave or what consequence there would be for not doing it.”

Myanmar Junta Sentences Deposed PM to 2 Years

Mark Clouse December 6, 2021

Here is a news blurb report to give you a sense of the latest news out of Myanmar. In the wake of the military coup, the junta has gotten around to sentencing the deposed Prime Minister, Aung San Suu Kyi. She would be sentenced to four years in prison, only to get a bit of a junta pr reprieve in the form of a reduction of her sentence from 4 years to 2 years.

Myanmar junta sentences deposed leader Aung San Suu Kyi to prison almost a year after seizing power in coup

Excerpt:

Seoul — Aung San Suu Kyi, the 76-year-old Nobel laureate who spent years under house arrest for advocating for democracy under the military dictatorship in her native Myanmar, was sentenced to four years in prison on Monday by the generals who toppled her civilian government almost a year ago. The military junta seized power in February, arresting Suu Kyi and many other politicians and activists in the process.

State television later reported her sentence for incitement was reduced to two years, but it’s just a fraction of the time Suu Kyi is facing once the junta’s courts have heard all the cases pending against her.

All of the charges were laid by the military commanders that deposed her and her democratically elected government in February. The overthrow led to huge street protests in Myanmar, and then violent repression by the army.

Myanmar’s ousted leader Aung San Suu Kyii has received a four-year jail term on charges of incitement and violations of a law on natural disasters.

The ruling is the first in a series of cases brought against the 76-year-old Nobel laureate since the army seized power on February 1, blocking her National League for Democracy party from starting a second term in office.

The legal official, who insisted on anonymity for fear of being punished by the authorities, said Suu Kyi received two years in prison on each of the two charges.

The incitement case involved statements posted on her party’s Facebook page after she and other party leaders had already been detained by the military, while the coronavirus charge involved a campaign…

Myanmar: Unbridled destruction of freedoms as Aung San Suu Kyi sentenced

Excerpt:

In response to the sentencing of Aung San Suu Kyi to four years in prison, Amnesty International’s Deputy Regional Director for Campaigns Ming Yu Hah said:

“The harsh sentences handed down to Aung San Suu Kyi on these bogus charges are the latest example of the military’s determination to eliminate all opposition and suffocate freedoms in Myanmar. The court’s farcical and corrupt decision is part of a devastating pattern of arbitrary punishment that has seen more than 1,300 people killed and thousands arrested since the military coup in February.

“There are many detainees without the profile of Aung San Suu Kyi who currently face the terrifying prospect of years behind bars simply for peacefully exercising their human rights. They must not be forgotten and left to their fate.

“As violence escalates, displacing tens of thousands of people and setting up a humanitarian crisis in the middle of an ongoing pandemic, the situation in Myanmar today is alarming in the extreme. Without a decisive, unified and swift international response this can and will get worse.

The Assassination of Kosmos 1408

Paul Collier November 30, 2021

Kosmos 1408 was lolling across the skies between earth and space, minding its own business, when all of the sudden a smash could be heard, could be felt by the machine that soon sent it tumbling into a sea of fire.

That poor machine was a satellite called Kosmos 1408. F in Chat, first of all, before we go on.

That poor satellite was taken out by a missile that was designed, built, equipped by, and fired by the Russian government. Poor Kosmos 1408 had become the same stuff as targets, ducks in a carnival lined up for an unfair sporting. Poor Kosmos 1408 was blown to smithereens by its own government (I won’t assume the gender here, folks).

The net effect, of course, is that now there is space debris hurtling towards, well, us, you and me. We are all surely about to…ok, so we’re not all about to die, but who knows, some unlucky human might be felled by the chance encounter with the remnant of that sad machine, that satellite, Kosmos 1408.

Needless to say, the world community is not too pleased with this little Top Gun stunt, and formal complaints are sure to follow the public rheotric that has emerged in response to this senseless assassination of Kosmos 1408.

RIP Kosmos 1408. May your death not kill me or anyone I know. Thanks.

Russia Blew Up One of Its Satellites Creating Dangerous Space Debris | by Nabil Alouani | Nov, 2021

Excerpt:

Earlier this month, a Russian satellite called Kosmos 1408 exploded, resulting in a cloud of debris that endangered the International Space Station (ISS) and the safety of its seven astronauts.

The explosion was no accident.

The Russian military destroyed Kosmos 1408 using an anti-satellite missile fired from the ground. Upon impact, the old craft shattered into thousands of pieces of space junk that began to race around the earth at high speeds.

The problem with space debris is its destructive power. An object the size of a can of soda can inflict the same damage as 15 pounds of TNT — enough power to pierce through the most solid metallic structures ever built.
