    Please recall that the CIA and like organizations have been doing this for about 70 years. It’s how they get their budgets increased. Their massive black budgets that we are not allowed to know about.

    Recommend “Legacy of Ashes” by Weiner. The CIA hates this book, and used to specifically attack it on their website. The absolute best possible endorsement, in my opinion.

    No matter how bad you think it is, it’s worse.











  • USA only has 335 million people and it’s already on the risk of extinction just 250 years later after being born. China is what? 5,000 years and still going strong?

    This comparison is ridiculous, USA is a former colony that wasn’t even founded until the 1700s; China is not a former colony, and has not been a cohesive nation for 5000 years for that matter.

    Re not trusting western media, it’s foolish to trust any media on Earth, whether NY Times, BBC, Al Jazeera, or Pravda.

    Re whataboutism, your points are pure whataboutism; not that whataboutism is wrong. It’s good to make comparisons, we all do it every day all day, and that won’t change no matter how it is labeled.

    These are my criticisms to improve your argument for argument’s sake, nothing more.

    I agree with you re integration of ethnic groups. Yes, I know it’s now called “genocide” by the UN now, but that’s pretty stupid in my opinion. A term that once meant the erasure of people by systematic murder has now been degraded to this fiasco definition. Of course China would want everyone to speak Chinese, why not?

    Also agree with “American Exceptionalism”, that train left the station many decades ago and we’ve proven to be just one more empire. One can hope China doesn’t make the same mistakes, and continues to focus on China rather than being world police like the USA.
