Beijing’s Woke Propaganda War in America  

Linda Goudsmit. I never knew the history of the expression “consciousness raising.” It is yet another example of the power of words, and how they can be used for construction or destruction – like every other force of nature. The inscrutable Chinese are not so inscrutable. Their long-range plan for world domination exploits the greed of the Washington swamp, unleashed the Wuhan virus, helped steal the 2020 election, and is propagandizing America with the help of the globalist media. The corporatists think they are exploiting cheap Chinese labor. The CCP is laughing all the way to the bank as it destroys what is left of American manufacturing, strength, greatness, freedom, and independence. China is partners with the Washington swamp, the Hollywood glitterati, the globalist propagandizing media, and Obama’s bolshevik resistance movement that promotes critical race theory and BLM. Wake up America! It is much later than you think. If China and its business partners are successful in collapsing America from within, they will then battle each other for primacy. Americans will become the population yearning to be free.

by Miles Maochun Yu, HOOVER INST

Propaganda is older than the medieval printing press, and every communications innovation increases the propagandists’ reach. Westerners most often think of propaganda coming from its two ardent twentieth-century practitioners: the German Nazis and the Soviet communists. Joseph Goebbels, Hitler’s Minister of Propaganda, laid out plainly the role of propaganda in a totalitarian regime: “It is the absolute right of the State to supervise the formation of public opinion…not every piece of news should be published, but instead those who control news policies must make every piece of news serve a certain purpose.”

Biden Freezes Trump’s Abraham Fund, Established to Strengthen Israeli-Arab Ties  

The investment fund was meant to strengthen regional ties between the signatories to the Abraham Accords.

By Batya Jerenberg, World Israel News,     July 7, 2021:

The new American administration has decided to put on hold its mega-investment fund that was supposed to help strengthen regional ties after last year’s signing of the Abraham Accords, Globes reported Wednesday, based on American and Israeli sources.

The Abraham Fund was established immediately after Israel signed the historic normalization agreement with the UAE and Bahrain in September 2020.

It was to be underwritten by some $3 billion from both the U.S. government and private financial institutions to “promote economic cooperation and to encourage prosperity in the Middle East and beyond.”

China and Russia: A New Vision for Central Asia  

By Emil Avdaliani , BESA       July 7, 2021

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: The Kremlin’s fixation on competing with the West might cost Russia dearly, as its clout in Central Asia is under strain from a rising China. Moscow will try to mitigate the tilting balance of power by applying methods of the post-liberal world order to the region. China and Russia might reach a condominium in which issues of economy and security are subdivided between them.

On May 12, 2021, China’s FM Wang Yi hosted the second China + Central Asia Foreign Ministers’ Meeting in the city of Xi’an. At the top of the agenda was Afghanistan, as China is worried about possible spillover into Central Asia and its eastern provinces.

Video Uncovered of China Professor Claiming US Elites Teamed Up with China to Take Control of America  

By Joe Hoft, GATEWAY PUNDIT

A China professor claims in a video that US elites teamed up with China to take control of America.

(This information was first provided in December but is more relevant today.)

If you step back and think about it, this is exactly what has happened.  China dropped a COVID bomb a year before the 2020 Election.  The medical elites in the government teamed up with radical governors to shut down commerce in the US.  Before this, the US was enjoying its best economy ever but China was the opposite, watching businesses leave their country and their economy failing.

Ilan Berman: The U.S. Must Fight Islamism, not Just Jihadis  

by Marilyn Stern, Middle East Forum Webinar  July 7, 2021

Ilan Berman, senior vice president of the American Foreign Policy Council (AFPC) and editor of the new book Wars of Ideas: Theology, Interpretation and Power in the Muslim World, spoke to a June 21 Middle East Forum webinar (video) about efforts to combat the Islamist ideology promulgated by global jihadi movements.

According to Berman, the U.S. and its coalition allies have been “enormously effective in the kinetic arenas of counter-terrorism,” as indicated by the resounding military defeat of the Islamic State (ISIS) caliphate in Iraq and Syria in 2019. However, Washington is “not paying sufficient attention” to the growth of Islamist ideology that gave rise to ISIS and continues to fuel violent jihadist movements around the world.

Bill Barr re-emerges, spotlights total corruption of the Department of Justice  

By Todd Gregory and Erik Gregory, AM THINKER

Six months after resigning as attorney general, William Barr recently re-entered the spotlight, reportedly telling friendly news correspondent Jonathan Karl that allegations of vote fraud during the 2020 election are bull.  Now that civilian Bill Barr has jumped back into the political fray, it is time to take unflinching stock of the degraded Department of Justice (DOJ) and how it became even further corrupted during Barr’s reign.

In reviewing the attorney general’s passivity during his tenure, it is difficult to escape the conclusion that Barr’s inaction was born of anything other than profound fear of the progressive, hydra-headed agency he ostensibly led.  Indeed, during his nearly two years on the job, the nation’s top cop repeatedly gave interviews in which he alluded to criminal wrongdoing on the part of the Obama administration and senior leaders of Obama’s intelligence agencies, which spied on the Trump campaign and later sought to remove Trump from office on a variety of increasingly implausible and comically specious pretexts.  Yet, despite all of Barr’s talk, there was never any accountability for the malefactors.

Burn down and re-place with high density housing to increase number of Democratic voters  

Tierney’s Real News (7/6/21)

This is the parking ramp of the NEW George Floyd autonomous zone in Minneapolis on the WEST end of Lake Street in an area called Calhoun Square. BLM-ANTIFA-PRIDE started this one after the old Floyd zone was shut down.

<

How did they do it so quickly? Nightly riots, burning, looting & shooting and not enough police to stop it. They keep terrorizing the neighborhood until people give up or leave.

Calhoun Square was once one of the most upscale & popular corners in Uptown Minneapolis. I used to live near there. My parents met on that corner. Now it looks like a war zone.

Biden Revives Obama’s Middle East Policy  

U.S. “evenhandedness” is back in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

By Joseph Puder, FPM

President Joe Biden is of a generation that appreciated the Jewish state as America’s closest and most reliable Middle East ally. He and the likes of the late U.S. Senator Henry “Scoop” Jackson (D-WA) were staunch friends of Israel. Most Democrats in the U.S. Senate shared with Jackson and Biden their appreciation of Israel. 

Today however, the “progressive” wing of the Democrat party no longer shares that kind of appreciation, and support for the Jewish state. Six months into his presidency, Biden has been under pressure from the “progressives” to be tougher on Israel. Many in that “wing” have not forgiven Israel’s former Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for standing up for his people in the U.S. Congress against the weak nuclear deal with Iran. A nuclear Iran poses an existential threat to the Jewish state and its people. Now that Israel has a new Bennett-Lapid government that is leaning a bit more to the left, it is hoped in Jerusalem that Biden will give serious consideration to the mistakes made by the Obama administration in dealing with Iran, and the shortcomings of the 2015 nuclear deal.

The Palestinianization of children’s books – spreading the evil culture

By Howard Rotberg , INN     Jul 06 , 2021

Now, they take him and they teach him and they groom him for life

And they set him on a path where he’s bound to get ill
Then they bury him with stars
Sell his body like they do used cars

Efraim Karsh: Israel’s Arab Citizens Are the “Main Danger” to Its Future  

by Marilyn Stern Middle East Forum Webinar  July 6, 2021

Efraim Karsh, editor of the Middle East Quarterly and director of the BESA Center for Strategic Studies, spoke to a June 7 Middle East Forum webinar (video) about the growing radicalization of the Israeli Arab community.

According to Karsh, the “main danger to Israel’s continued success, or even existence over the long run,” is posed not by Iran or the myriad armed Islamist proxies operating along its frontiers, but by Arab citizens of Israel. Comprising roughly one fifth of the population, over the past quarter century Israeli Arabs have increasingly come to adopt a Palestinian identity, “reject Israel’s continued existence as a Jewish state,” and employ “both violent and … sophisticated means to achieve this goal.”
