Hat Tip Fool Nelson – Put this in the stunning conflict of interest file that is truly jaw-dropping. This is just unreal.
Anna Makanju is the Facebook executive in charge of “election integrity on the platform”; and guess what her job was before that position… “Previously, she was the special policy adviser for Europe and Eurasia to former US Vice President Joe Biden”. (citation)
That’s right folks, the Facebook executive currently blocking all of the negative evidence of Hunter and Joe Biden’s corrupt activity in Ukraine is the same person who was coordinating the corrupt activity between the Biden family payoffs and Ukraine.

Hunter Biden allegedly sought to pocket millions from deals involving a Chinese energy giant with ties to the Chinese military, according to emails obtained by the New York Post.
Re-Posted from THE EPOCH TIMES BY FRANK FANG AND CATHY HE October 16, 2020 Updated: October 17, 2020 Print
An alleged email from James Gilliar of the international consultancy J2cR that was sent to Biden on May 13, 2017 detailed “remuneration packages” for six people in an unspecified deal apparently involving the now-bankrupt Chinese oil giant CEFC China Energy. Biden, who is the second son of former Vice President and current presidential candidate Joe Biden, was identified as “Chair/Vice Chair” of a new company, “depending on agreement with CEFC.” His pay would be “850.”
Gilliar did not immediately return a request for comment about his involvement.
The email also mentions a “provisional agreement” under which a person identified as “H,” an apparent reference to Hunter Biden, would hold 20 percent “equity” in the new company, as well as 10 percent “held…for the big guy.” The email doesn’t identify who the “big guy” is.
Gilliar also said he would be “happy to raise any detail with Zang if there is [sic] shortfalls ?,” in an apparent reference to Zang Jianjun, a former executive director at CEFC.
Shanghai-based conglomerate CEFC China Energy was China’s largest privately-held oil company before it was caught in Beijing’s crosshairs in 2018. The oil conglomerate made billions of dollars in Russia, eastern Europe, and parts of Africa, while its now-disgraced founder and chairman Ye Jianming fostered cozy ties with high-level Chinese Communist Party (CCP) officials.
Ye has been missing since early 2018 after he was placed under investigation by the Chinese regime for “suspected economic crimes” and detained. A state-owned enterprise took control of CEFC in March 2019, and the firm declared bankruptcy early this year, according to Chinese media Caixin.
In a separate email Biden sent to Hong Kong financier Dong Gongwen on Aug. 2, 2017, Biden reveals that he previously had a three-year agreement with CEFC that would pay him $10 million per year “for introductions alone.”
Dong was Ye’s business associate and executed transactions for Ye’s companies, according to a recent Senate report.
But Ye later sweetened the deal, giving Biden 50 percent ownership of a holding company named “Hudson West,” with Ye owning the other half, the email stated.
“Consulting fees is one piece of our income stream but the reason this proposal by the chairman was so much more interesting to me and my family is that we would also be partners inn [sic] the equity and profits of the JV’s [joint venture’s] investments,” Biden wrote.
An Aug. 1, 2017 photo obtained by The New York Post of a hand-drawn organization chart outlined Hudson West’s ownership. It showed that the company was controlled 50/50 by two entities that were ultimately controlled by Biden and a person identified as “Chairman” respectively.
The Senate report also showed that Hunter Biden’s law firm, Owasco PC, was one of two owners of a company called Hudson West III, which has since been dissolved.
In September 2017, Biden and Dong opened a line of credit at a bank under Hudson West III, the report said. Credit cards issued under the account were made available to Biden, his uncle James Biden, and James’ wife Sara Biden. They purchased more than $100,000 worth of “extravagant items, including airline tickets and multiple items at Apple Inc. stores, pharmacies, hotels, and restaurants,” it said.
The emails obtained by the Post were allegedly from the hard drive of a laptop left at a Mac repair shop in Wilmington, Delaware in April 2019, that was never retrieved. The FBI then allegedly seized the laptop, and the repair shop owner later gave a copy of the hard drive to former New York City mayor Rudy Guiliani, President Donald Trump’s personal attorney. Guiliani then gave the contents to the Post. Guiliani said he spent three weeks authenticating the materials on the drive. The Epoch Times has not seen a copy of the files and could not independently verify this claim.
Joe Biden’s campaign did not return a request for comment.
Fallen Oil Tycoon
Ye had extensive ties to the Chinese military.
According to the Senate report, Ye served as deputy secretary-general of the China Association for International Friendly Contacts (CAIFC) from 2003 to 2005.
The association is a front group for the Chinese military’s former General Political Department, a political organ within the Central Military Commission—the CCP agency that controls the armed forces, according to a 2018 report published by the Congress-appointed U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission (USCC). That department was replaced by a new agency called the Political Work Department in 2016.
“CAIFC has additional ties to the Ministries of State Security, Civil Affairs, and Foreign Affairs, and it is a platform for deploying undercover intelligence gatherers,” the report said.
USCC added: “In addition to sending intelligence collectors abroad, CAIFC sponsors trips to China by foreign military and veteran groups, businesspeople, and former politicians which typically include contact with hand-picked PLA personnel,” referring to the People’s Liberation Army, the official name of the Chinese regime’s military.
Caixin published an extensive report on CEFC in March 2018. It stated that CEFC’s Party secretary, Jiang Chunyu, was a retired Chinese armed police officer. All major firms in China are required to set up Party units within their offices.
Jiang was also once head of a military police school located in Shanghai. According to Chinese news portal Sina, the school was combined with other institutes to form the PLA Nanjing Political College in August 2017.
According to Caixin, Ye was also chairman of the board at a company called Shanghai Zhenrong Energy Corporation from 2007 to 2008. Shanghai Zhenrong was jointly established by three companies; two of them were CEFC and Zhuhai Zhenrong Corporation.
Zhuhai Zhenrong was sanctioned by the U.S. government in July 2019 for engaging in oil transactions with Iran, in violation of U.S. sanctions on the Iranian regime.
According to Caixin, CEFC established a Shanghai Charity Fund in 2011, hiring Li Guangjin, a retired political officer from the PLA’s Shanghai Garrison, as the fund’s chairman. Additionally, Wang Hongyuan, a former bureau chief at the General Office of the Central Military Commission, became the fund’s standing director.
Taiwan’s Ministry of Justice Investigation Bureau disclosed that several CEFC executives had ties to the Chinese military and the Chinese regime, in its monthly magazine Prospect & Exploration published in July 2018.
For instance, the magazine pointed out that Xiong Fengsheng, CEFC’s director and Party secretary of the company’s discipline commission at the time, was once head of the PLA Air Force’s 461 Hospital, located in the northeastern city of Jilin.
Some CEFC executives previously worked in the Chinese government or at state-owned firms.
One of CEFC’s deputy presidents, Jiang Mingsheng, once worked at China’s central bank, the People’s Bank of China. He was also a one-time Party secretary while working at the Shanghai branch of the China Merchants Bank, according to the magazine.
Pan Zhigang, an economist at CEFC, was once office director at the International Cooperation Center of China’s National Development and Reform Commission, a state planning agency.
Biden had previously told The New Yorker in a July 2019 article that he didn’t consider Ye to be a “shady character at all,” and characterized his investigation and detention as “bad luck.”
Ye also established a nonprofit based in Hong Kong and Arlington, Virginia, called the China Energy Fund Committee, which had “special consultative status” with the United Nations.
The organization’s general secretary was Hong Kong businessman Patrick Ho. Ho was also Biden’s client at Owasco, according to the Senate report.
In March 2019, Ho was convicted and sentenced to three years in prison for paying millions in bribes to the presidents of Chad and Uganda to secure oil rights for CEFC.
On March 22, 2018, months before Ho was to go on trial, a $1 million payment was sent from Hudson West III to Owasco for Ho’s legal representation, the Senate report found.
The Post obtained an “Attorney Engagement Letter” executed in September 2017, in which Ho agreed to pay Biden $1 million as a retainer for legal services. Biden told The New Yorker in 2019 that he agreed to represent Ho after Ye told him that he was concerned that “U.S. law-enforcement agencies were investigating” Ho.
Ho was convicted of money laundering, violating the Foreign Corrupt Practice Act, and other charges. He was freed in June this year, with the judge shortening his incarceration after he demonstrated good behavior.
A previous version of this article incorrectly stated when the laptop was dropped off at the computer repair shop. It was dropped off in April 2019. It also incorrectly stated James Biden’s relationship with Hunter Biden. James is Joe Biden’s brother; Hunter’s uncle.

The New York Times cheered Stalin and constantly reported that this was the way to the future. They are supporting once again this move to a Marxist Utopia. The New York Times hid the truth about Stalin. His great economic miracle was achieved by taking all the food from Ukraine to pretend Communism was working in Russia causing over 7 million to starve to death.
So many people are really just ignorant. They think this election is about picking Trump v Biden. They are clueless because mainstream media is once again supporting this agenda of the Great Reset. Listen carefully to Schwab’s words. He expressly states “equality” which is the dream which began with Karl Marx.

His great economic miracle was achieved by taking all the food from Ukraine to pretend Communism was working in Russia causing over 7 million to starve to death.
I strongly recommend you watch the movie Mr. Jones. This exposes the TRUE STORY of how the New York Times tried to support Communism in the United States back then, with their top journalist, Walter Duranty (1884-1957), who was their main man in Moscow. The New York Times promoted him to be awarded the Pulitzer Prize for that reporting on how Communism was Utopia and our future. When Gareth Jones (1905-1935) in March 1933 reported this was all a lie, the truth finally began to appear.
It took the New York Times until 1990 to admit to that their reporting which covered up the truth about Stalin and the massive starvation in an effort, like Schwab, once again selling “equality” as our salvation. The New York Times covered up the more than 7 million people who died of starvation in the Ukraine famine. The New York Times wrote that their reporting on the Russian Revolution constituted “some of the worst reporting to appear in this newspaper.” They never revoked his Pultizer Prize for writing fake news about Stalin.
It was the New York Times’ Walter Duranty who also met with Franklin Roosevelt and supported the move toward Marxism in the United States as the “New Deal”. It was the New York Times’ Duranty that helped install drastic progressiveness in taxation in the United States following Marx, Lenin, and Stalin. This is precisely what Schwab is proposing with “equality” in league with his buddy, Thomas Piketty.

Anyone who thinks this is an election of just Democrat v Republican is a fool. There is a serious agenda behind these lockdowns and they have been intended to prevent commuters and to crush the world economy. Even Australia rules out international travel at least until the end of 2021. All of this is to reduce air travel to reduce CO2. This is the real agenda that Schwab has been selling behind the curtain. He will probably go down in history surpassing the death toll of Karl Marx. His lockdowns have already reduced the food supply and this raises the prospect of famine coming into play by 2022.
In a breaking news story tonight, Fox News has confirmed with one of the Hunter Biden email recipients that the purpose of the content was setting up payments to Hunter Biden knowing the money would be funneled to his father, Joe Biden [SEE HERE]
In related news Rudy Giuliani appears on Fox News with Lou Dobbs to explain the content of the electronic files and the institutional blackout to keep the information hidden:
(Via Fox News) One of the people on an explosive email thread allegedly involving Hunter Biden has corroborated the veracity of the messages, which appear to outline a payout for former Vice President Joe Biden as part of a deal with a Chinese energy firm.
One email, dated May 13, 2017, and obtained by Fox News, includes a discussion of “remuneration packages” for six people in a business deal with a Chinese energy firm. The email appeared to identify Hunter Biden as “Chair / Vice Chair depending on agreement with CEFC,” in an apparent reference to now-bankrupt CEFC China Energy Co.
The email includes a note that “Hunter has some office expectations he will elaborate.” A proposed equity split references “20” for “H” and “10 held by H for the big guy?” with no further details. Fox News spoke to one of the people who was copied on the email, who confirmed its authenticity.
Sources told Fox News that “the big guy” is a reference to the former vice president. The New York Post initially published the emails and other controversial messages that Fox News has also obtained. (read more)
Direct evidence implicating former Vice President Joe Biden in a pay-for-play corruption scandal will be released to the public 10 days prior to the 2020 election, Rudy Giuliani, President Donald Trump’s personal attorney, told Daily Caller’s senior White House correspondent Christian Datoc in an exclusive interview.
The former New York City mayor spoke with Datoc for a half-hour in New York City Thursday evening about all of the new allegations raised by emails and text messages alleged to have been pulled from a hard drive previously owned by Hunter Biden. WATCH:
Hard core tyranny has arrived in the United States. Thanks to the coup-minded Democrats, it has been creeping up on us after Trump was elected president. Now we have full-on Chinese-style stifling of free speech. Congress and the Deep State Swamp are complicit and have done nothing to protect our First Amendment.
Try using Google to find a story deemed ‘politically incorrect’ by the Swamp. You will be redirected to their own narrative that they deem factual. It’s the same with science. You are only allowed to know the data from the scientists of their choosing. Facebook won’t allow anything else to be posted on their platform.
Twitter has banned the New York Post after that publication revealed smoking gun details of Hunter Biden’s Ukraine graft involving his father. Censoring real journalism is a disgrace.
All speech should be free. People are allowed to express hatred. Dirty books should be allowed to be sold at smut shops. But political speech is the most important. It’s paramount and yet it’s going away on social media, aided and abetted by our own government and tax dollars. The CIA helped Facebook get started. They worked with Zuckerberg because they knew such a platform would provide them with a honeypot of private information. The CIA has gone rogue. It has been corrupted (perhaps inevitably) by power-mad operatives just as those running the FBI are corrupt. Now our social media has succumbed to the same kind of tyranny.
Don’t like it? Start your own Facebook. Or Twitter. Or Google. That’s what we’re told, anyway. Most of us do not have a few billion dollars handy to do it. We may as well be told to start our own CIA or FBI. Why not start our own Federal Reserve? The other independent social media platforms that have tried to offer free speech will eventually succumb to tyrannical control. They will be bought out, shut down, or sued into bankruptcy.
We live in a new, high-tech age and social media have become our town square. It shouldn’t be turned into ‘Red Square” by the globo-socialists.
October 13, 2020 was “a black day for human rights,” said Hillel Neuer, executive director of UN Watch, the Geneva-based non-governmental human rights organization. Mr. Neuer was lamenting the fact that the United Nations General Assembly was preparing to vote to elect some of the world’s worst serial human rights abusing regimes to membership on the UN Human Rights Council. The regimes elected included China, Russia and Cuba. A Joint NGO Report issued by UN Watch, Human Rights Foundation and the Raoul Wallenberg Centre for Human Rights on October 5, 2020 branded these regimes “unqualified.” The Joint NGO Report reached its conclusion based on the criteria that the UN General Assembly itself set, which required that “members elected to the Council shall uphold the highest standards in the promotion and protection of human rights.”
The Chinese Communist regime is a wellspring of gross human rights abuses
The UN General Assembly’s vote to grant China membership in the Human Rights Council illustrates how the United Nations has made a complete mockery of the human rights protections it professes to uphold. The Chinese Communist regime is a wellspring of gross human rights abuses. The regime routinely crushes dissent, extending its authoritarian methods to Hong Kong. It tortures and arbitrary imprisons its citizens who do not toe the official party line. The regime is a surveillance state that negates any individual privacy rights, and it censors the press and online social media. Journalists who dare to stray into politically sensitive areas that the regime considers forbidden territory are regularly forced out of their jobs or jailed. The regime also engages in persecution of people of faith, including Christians, Buddhists and Muslims.
In these respects, the Chinese regime is in sync with the human rights abuses of other authoritarian regimes. However, what places China in a class by itself today when it comes to human rights abuses are the internment camps the regime has established to arbitrarily detain more than one million Uighurs and other Muslims. The Joint NGO Report referenced the horrific conditions to which these detainees have been subjected, including political indoctrination, systematic torture, and the forced sterilization and abortions of female prisoners. The Uighurs and other Muslims who are not presently detained still live under repressive conditions. They are subjected to constant surveillance, the suppression of the use of their own language, and the banning of their cultural and religious practices.
Here is how the U.S. State Department described this unique example of ethnic cleansing in the 21st century, which the Chinese regime has justified to “contain and eradicate extremism”:
“The broad definition of extremism resulted in the reported detention since 2017 of more than one million Uighurs, ethnic Kazakhs, Kyrgyz, and other Muslims in ‘transformation through education’ centers, or detention centers, designed to instill patriotism and erase their religious and ethnic identities. This included many of those ordered to return to China from studying or working abroad. International media reported security officials in the centers abused, tortured, and killed some detainees.”
“Outside the internment camps, the government implemented severe restrictions on expressions of minorities’ culture, language, and religious identity, including regulations prohibiting behaviors the government considered signs of ‘extremism’ such as growing ‘abnormal’ beards, wearing of veils in public places, and suddenly stopping smoking and drinking alcohol, among other behaviors. The regulations banned the use of some Islamic names when naming children and set punishments for the teaching of religion to children. Authorities conducted ‘household surveys’ and ‘home stays’ in which officials or volunteers forcibly lived in Uighurs’ homes and monitored families for signs of ‘extremism.’”
“Authorities searched cell phones at checkpoints and during random inspections of Uighur households, and persons in possession of alleged terrorist material, including pictures of general religious or cultural importance, could be arrested and charged with crimes.”
The Chinese regime is also unique in another respect from a human rights perspective, which is particularly relevant during this year of the coronavirus pandemic. The Chinese Communist regime deliberately withheld key information about the coronavirus, which originated in China, when it first became aware that the virus was highly contagious through human-to-human transmission. Chinese authorities cracked down on whistle blowers such as Dr Li Wenliang who wanted to warn the public about the emerging coronavirus threat before it could spread completely out of control. Authorities censored any negative stories in the media or on the Internet about how the Chinese government was handling the coronavirus outbreak. The World Health Organization accepted at face value the inaccurate information it received from China during the early weeks of the outbreak, when the virus’s spread could have been much more easily contained.
The Chinese Communist regime was in a position to come clean about the virulent virus that was first detected in Wuhan, China in late 2019, before the virus escaped China’s borders and set off a global pandemic. Chinese authorities decided not to do so. Instead, the Chinese regime put its own image first, willing to sacrifice the basic human right to life and well-being of people all over the world. Over a million people have since died from the coronavirus to date. Many of these peoples’ lives might well have been saved if Chinese authorities had been more forthright at the outset. The regime’s abysmal behavior in this regard falls far short of the supposed standard for membership on the UN Human Rights Council – to “uphold the highest standards in the promotion and protection of human rights.” Yet China was rewarded with a seat on the Human Rights Council anyway – a perfect example of the hypocrisy rampant at the United Nations
Even in the midst of Government Mandatory Lock Down, with some people fearful they will contract Covid-19 from their own relatives, others are beginning to hear the still haunting strains of Bill Conti’s masterful ‘’Gonna’ Fly Now’ ‘Rocky’ theme.
Lost on self-centred arrogant Democrats: Just about everyone loves an Underdog—particularly Underdogs repeatedly targeted by a Democrat-media gang-up.
Deranged Democrats with the help of Hollywood and their running dog media have thrown everything except the proverbial kitchen sink at President Donald John Trump over the past four years.
Every vile smear has ricocheted back to home base, home base being the DEMOCRAT PARTY
Every vile smear from the early-day Stormy Daniels one, through RussiaGate and Impeachment, all the way to the most recent attempt to frame the President of the United States as the world’s top Covid-19 infector has ricocheted back to home base, home base being the DEMOCRAT PARTY.
Giddy with the prospect of getting back into power, confident that Michelle Obama’s Mail-in Vote will give them enough votes for a Biden-Harris win; self-assured that now they got away with it once, they can lock down the whole country anytime they want, Democrats of our day have convinced themselves that NO ONE can stop them.
With no social distancing restrictions that apply to them, they’re already planning Election Night Whoopee! Parties and fireworks. It’s only a matter of time they think before they can lay a laurel wreath on the befuddled head of Joe Biden, knowing it wont’t be long before they can knock it off and crown Sen. Kamala Harris as their long-awaited First woman U.S. president.
To the victor go the spoils, in this case, soils. Democrats don’t have to worry about patriot insurrection, their BLM/Anita street mobs will take care of that.https://www.youtube.com/embed/KPhqU–Mq1A
But it I will take more than a Socialist Village to bury the landslide vote for President Trump
The yahooing and partying will continue as long as it takes to count the vote.
On Election Night, the media—including Fox News ,home of Chris Wallace—will spread the Fake News that Donald Trump is a goner.
Squeals of joy will erupt over the fruited plains on Election Night., from which Hillary Clinton can be heard barking like a dog.
But it I will take more than a Socialist Village to bury the landslide vote for President Trump.
The Democrat-media gang-up are truthfully and tragically unaware that their entire 2020 election strategy has already started to backfire on them: their hate spewing, name calling and attempted character-assassination of a duly elected President has, in the end, made him The Underdog.
It’s part of human nature that the masses love underdogs.
Not only are the hundreds of thousands who line up to see their president, hundreds of boat and car parades a testament to that, but now Hillary’s “deplorables” are spontaneously chanting to Trump, “We love you!”
President Donald Trump could be the most beloved underdog in all history
President Donald Trump could be the most beloved underdog in all history.
And the epic story doesn’t end there:
What will the seriously disgruntled do when realization hits home that Barack, Michelle Obama, Hillary Clinton, Nancy Pelosi, Adam Schiff and Company were on a track whose strategies proved useless; that it was mostly just the Democrats, Hollywood and media who hated Trump while We the People went on loving him?
Just for starters:
Welcome to a new 2020 Hollywood, where not just Covid-19 keeps fans in darkened theatres from watching Hollywood heroes and heart throbs in mostly empty rows of seats.
Hollywood’s going bankrupt and is selling out to Communist China.
People are not willing to pay for Politics masquerading as Sports anymore as in football, basketball and baseball.
The whole world’s going bankrupt and will continue to do so as long as Lock Downs keep people from getting back to family-supporting jobs.
The Hollywood, Democrat-media gang-up may remain impervious to their own self-destruction, but the watching world is not.
Even though the masses may have to wait days, weeks or even months for news that Donald Trump won on Election Night, millions will get to say, ‘Welcome back to the Oval Office, PRESIDENT Donald Trump and call 2020 as ‘The Year of the Underdog’.
This is the Real News we’ll all be waiting for— no matter how long it takes because at the end of the day we know that “Patience gains all things!”
Politically, there have been essentially two kinds of uprisings. Each prompted by widespread dissatisfaction and hardship. One restores freedom and economic success. The opposite has been malignant revolutions; exampled by brutal dictatorships in France in the late 1700s and in Russia beginning in the early 1900s. In these, neurotic intellectuals turned existing dissatisfaction unto bloody horror shows and bureaucratic tyrannies.
Extraordinary attempt by control freaks to destroy a constitutional republic in order to impose authoritarian government
Taking advantage of crisis is not new, and there is more to the pattern.
In Europe, on every authoritarian experiment, the governing classes granted themselves the privilege of state murder.
Since 2016, America’s Left has been using every arrow in its quiver to bring down an elected president. In startling contrast, it now has the audacity to accuse Trump of possibly blocking the next transfer of power.
The most recent successful benign uprising occurred in 1989 when ordinary folk who were unarmed took on an armed and murderous police state. The symbol was bringing down the Berlin Wall, when controlling swamp critters suddenly lost the will to impose authority.
Suggesting hope for the current struggle for freedom.
Another example was England’s “Glorious Revolution” of 1688, which took down the last absolutist king. He had threatened to use French troops (globalism) in England. Seeing the political tide turning against him, King James reluctantly sought authoritarian solace in France.
Regrettably, the past few decades have recorded an extraordinary attempt by control freaks to destroy a constitutional republic in order to impose authoritarian government. This has now become so intense as to inspire another benign popular uprising. Which shocked the establishment in 2016.
More recently, Venezuela has been controlled to destitution
Will reform again be successful in November?
In order to remove any ambiguity of political banners such as Democrat or Republican, Bernieism or Bidenism, physics provides a practical definition of a totalitarian system.
“That which is not compulsory is prohibited.”
Which elegantly covers every political ambition from Communism to schoolboards. And, sadly, such ambition is now using any excuse to overwhelm constitutional norms. Bad weather and another influenza are caused by too many politically incorrect people.
The economic shutdown is the most severe since the 1930s famines when Bolsheviks forced Lysenkoism upon Russia’s agriculture.
More recently, Venezuela has been controlled to destitution.
The point to be made that in full fury authoritarians don’t care how much hardship they create, just so long as they are in control. Personal ambition that thrives on disasters it causes. And the governing classes have become, well, ungovernable. But living well.
China’s revolution in the 1960s was guided by Mao’s “Great Leap Forward”. In 2011, Obama boasted about his form of community organization whereby “activist government could also be smart government”. The wonders of activism have been evident in Portland and other Democrat cities.
Soviet troops, tanks and machine guns put each attempt at reform down. Murderously
“Smart” is waiting discovery.
Obviously, the Left’s blatant ambition is causing shocking unemployment. With enough dissatisfaction to prompt an exceptional exodus from city-cores being ruined by Democrat activists. That some are voting with their feet and if these political refugees don’t take their socialist votes with them, they could become part of the reform movement. Without the dislocation of moving, an easier step is to break the spell and vote for reform.
Has the seemingly endless intrusion of in-your-face and in-your-wallet government become damaging enough to inspire another success by the benign popular uprising?
As reviewed above, these have included breathtaking reforms in 1989 and in 1688. Tragically, some benign uprisings were brutally quelled. Examples include East Germany in 1953, Hungary in 1956 and the one with the most hope was the “Prague Spring” of 1968.
Soviet troops, tanks and machine guns put each attempt at reform down. Murderously.
This was one of the points in American Spring published by this writer on July 2, 2016. The rhetorical question about an “American Spring” being quelled brutally as in Prague was rejected. But the attempt to overwhelm America’s constitutional regard for freedom and limited government has been staggering. Even becoming fanatical in using any ploy to depose an elected president.
Quite likely the equivalent has been unseen in some 200 years of parliamentary history in America, Canada or England.
Left, in all its apparitions, has gone berserk
Another question in the 2016 article asked about the likelihood of Trump winning and the answer was in “Flyover” vernacular – “You bet!”.
And the Left, in all its apparitions, has gone berserk. Hitherto, intruding authoritarians suffered little popular opposition. But since being hit by a widespread “No!” the Left has been thrashing around in a tantrum usually limited to four-year-old-children.
Moreover, the intrusion using weather and influenza fears has been the most radical in the senior economy since the last great experiment in authoritarian government in the 1500s. However, by the early 1600s in England statist intrusion became altogether too much with popular opinion eventually accomplishing a great reformation.
Lately, the Left’s ambition seems similar to the early stages of the French or Russian Revolutions. Which is dangerous. Perhaps this is again becoming “too much”, inspiring another successful phase of the benign popular uprising. Will it be strong and soon enough to win the presidency?
In January this seemed probable, but the use of the Wuhan Flu in imposing authority has been remarkable. Dems are also using the contrived crisis to corrupt voting.
Left’s urgent mission prohibits criticism and debate, while obedience to dogma is compulsory
So, it comes down to having enough ordinary folk seeing through the gaming of fear and the rigging of the electoral system to prevail. Hitherto, elections in the two party system provided middle-of-the-road platforms. Issues were debated.
But now the Left’s urgent mission prohibits criticism and debate, while obedience to dogma is compulsory. With opposition being banned a Democratic win would end America as a constitutional republic—a political tragedy.
On the longer term, previous benign uprisings advanced when the experiment in unlimited government literally destroyed the economy. Which prompted a great reform of, as the Brits called it in the early 1600s, “Tyrannical Duncery”.
Too much of the latter is being imposed these days, but history suggests that another great reformation is underway.

October 13, 2020 was “a black day for human rights,” said Hillel Neuer, executive director of UN Watch, the Geneva-based non-governmental human rights organization. Mr. Neuer was lamenting the fact that the United Nations General Assembly was preparing to vote to elect some of the world’s worst serial human rights abusing regimes to membership on the UN Human Rights Council. The regimes elected included China, Russia and Cuba. A Joint NGO Report issued by UN Watch, Human Rights Foundation and the Raoul Wallenberg Centre for Human Rights on October 5, 2020 branded these regimes “unqualified.” The Joint NGO Report reached its conclusion based on the criteria that the UN General Assembly itself set, which required that “members elected to the Council shall uphold the highest standards in the promotion and protection of human rights.”
