Coordinated Alt-Media Purge Should Terrify Everyone

Whaaah!

[tzor]

That makes me laugh. Something about a broken clock being correct twice a day.

But seriously, I think Russia has every reason to be very afraid. The change of corporations such as Google (to the "Good Censor") and Facebook is geared to a minor extent towards European standards but also with an eye towards getting on the good side of China which will be the greatest threat to everyone (including Russia) within the next few decades, sooner if Google basically gives them the good censored internet to them on a silver platter.

Thanks for quoting and posting the source.

I don't know since when you started doing this, but this is really good armati.

China... will be the greatest threat to everyone

It's ironic to call China the greatest threat to the world, when the world powers that have spent the last couple of decades toppling foreign governments, inciting civil wars and outright invading other countries are America, then Russia. then countries like the UK and France (although the latter aren't really world powers).

Why does America insist on behaving as if there are only two possible options: American dominance and hegemony; or Armageddon? If America was not trying so hard and so transparently to cut China's legs out from under it and prevent it from growing, the relationship between the two would probably be fine.

Serious question. WHAT HAS THE BRITISH EMPIRE DONE LATELY?

History is a very good tool to understand the past. It can be used to understand the present if you understand how to use it. In that sense the irony meter has flipped to infinity. What was then is the inverse of what it is now.

China is the colonial power. Through the one road / one belt initiative is has acquired colonial ports and resources by making its victims debtor nations.

China is now the leading supplier of fentanyl to the United States through Mexico. Apparently the history of the Opium wars is either forgotten on them or they have a sick sense of revenge because the United States IS NOT THE BRITISH EMPIRE.

How Fentanyl Is Contaminating America’s Cocaine Supply ... yea real sick.

lol. Giving credit to a national government = colonising that nation?

The Chinese government has acquired control of exactly 1 port as the result of a debtor nation defaulting on a One Belt One Road loan. All these blood curdling cries of 'China is teh new STAR WARS' are just sour grapes from a sour America that has no positive contribution to offer to Asia.

What a ridiculous analogy. The British Empire grew opium and then smuggled it into Qing territory. Factories in China that produce illicit fentanyl are breaking the law and would be fined and/or shut down by the Chinese government if they were caught. What's next - Al Capone was an Italian government conspiracy against America?

Incidentally, the British were not the only people who smuggled opium into the Qing Empire. At one point American traders were responsible for something like 10-15% of the illicit opium trade. The United States fought on the side of the British and French during the Second Opium War.

When will China learn that the correct way to do empire is through military invasions (aka spreading democracy) and forced austerity via international banking?

[armati]

China understand currencies.
Paper bills were first used by the Chinese, who started carrying folding money during the Tang Dynasty (A.D. 618-907)
They understand world reserve currencies too, and its changing.

Does China have a drug problem?

Not a single mention of who's actually controlling the internet and forcing this agenda. Yeah it's really Google and Facebook hahaha. Just go back to talking about China matey.

No More Dissident Voices: Succumb to Facebook & Twitter's Demands or Get Banned (or Both)

"Twitter then felt the need to remove the @AntiMediaRadio account, and when an appeal was made, Twitter responded by saying that the account was suspended due to “multiple or repeat violations of the Twitter rules.”

The account had zero posts on it."

Does China have a drug problem?

Depends what you mean by a problem. I've heard in some southern cities party drugs like MDMA, meth and ketamine are relatively common, but I don't get the impression that across the country as a whole there is much use of drugs (apart from alcohol). They're certainly nowhere near as much a part of everyday life in China as they are in the UK.

According to this random web page by some drug addiction clinic in the States, the five countries where the most people take illicit drugs are Iran, Afghanistan, Russia, the US and the UK.

Russia, Afghanistan and the US also top this list of countries by opiate use.

If you include alcohol on your list of drugs - which you should, because it is the most harmful drug in existence - then pretty much everywhere in Europe, all the WASP countries and a few places in Africa and South America all have an alcohol problem (you need to consume less than 7.3 liters per year to be considered 'low risk').

What's the problem? They drink, they like it. Anti-Alcohol people are communists... Oh wait, I'm talking to a Chinese person aren't I.

Up in northern China, they are pretty much OG communists but they will out-drink you. Ergo, communist =/ teetotaler. Fact.
But seriously check out the top 10 beers consumed worldwide.

"History is a very good tool to understand the past". I was just pondering the thought process of that statement.

tzor you mention you think russia has every reason to be afraid, not sure if you followed the meaning of my post, facebook and twitter, free speech was removed world wide, they're american companies I think.

Its sad we have to get news from foreign sources to keep informed.

The only thing russia fears from us is that our government could be insane enough to fire off nukes.

The western armed forces are way outmatched by the russians in every catagory.

Our side has numbers tho.

But when ya see the entire Israeli f-35 collection shut down with a few s-300s ya gotta wonder just how much of an advantage numbers are.

Reviewing the Syria campaign exemplifies the difference in capabilities between russian/american effectiveness quite well.

The murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi an american working for an american paper should point out just how far people will go to stop you talking.The loss of freedom of speech is actually kind of a big deal.

Yes, it is. But people who go around spreading lies are not supporting freedom of speech in any meaningful sense. They are taking the gift of freedom of speech and wiping their asses with it.

[armati]

You ever listen to politicians?

Listen to msm?

I have no idea what they guy was saying, never heard of him.
I doubt he said anything worth dying over, but someone sure felt death was a rightful punishment.

Tuff to see someone being that upset over lies.

Which is obviously irrelevant.

If ya like to read, maybe try orwells 1984, there is always history, but that requires effort.

Its a step by step fascist thing thats happening, loss of freedom of speech, if it be facebook,twitter or journalists.
Its happening.

[armati]

These people will cut you up into small pcs if you say something they dont like.
Thats while you are alive.
(Considering that Assange has been treated well).

They pretty mean dudes.

might be an idea not to say anything....is that still freedom?

If people want to kill you, you're probably doing something you shouldn't.

So, wait, it's the super-conservative Saudi government who's behind Twitter purging alt-right trolls. Galaxy brain, man. Galaxy brain.
