It’s meant to condition us to accepting it when our professional affirmative-action bureaucratic parasite overlords do it here.

Listening to Bannon’s War Room, they suggest this is the ChiComs looking for an excuse to consolidate power under the aegis of a pandemic and get rid of political enemies.

It sounds as plausible as anything I have heard, at least more plausible than the stupidity of thinking this type of authoritarian and draconian lockdown is going to work at minimizing the effects of the pathogen.

Only idiots would think it would work, and I don’t think they are idiots.

I still think it’s possible that the ChiComs hope to achieve in 2022 what they achieved in 2020 - panic the West into COVID restrictions that will allow yet another election steal in America. This would be so Biden and his handlers will remain unencumbered to continue their jihad to weaken America and Americans.

I don’t doubt for a minute, they would cordon off a section of the city and starve people to death for propaganda’s sake.

So I think the lockdowns are real, not staged, but that the reason for them is not what it appears.

“What if China is purposely shutting down its country to wreak havoc on the global supply chain even further and to exert its power over the quality of lives of the western world?”


Paging Capt. Obvious.

“to meet the needs of whatever agenda the CCP is trying to push.”


The author understands little about China beyond what he might have read somewhere.

The concept of infallibility is associated in the West with religion, but in China infallibility is invested in the Emperor.

Xi Jinping is the Emperor and as such his edict of zero covid tolerance cannot be wrong. He is also up for re-election by the top Party Elite; it would never do to have him lose face.

So there can be no cases in China and any cases found must be controlled - no matter the human cost. Simple as that.

Oh and its not just Shanghai, but all of China.

“Videos leaking onto social media appear worse and more dire than the ones during the original lockdowns of 2020.”


Worse than the leaking - which was shut down early in 2020 - they’re promoted by social and mainstream government media alike.

That’s a tell.

If you are the CCP, what good is being a totalitarian regime if you cannot act in
a totalitarian way?

biden proved the kung flu is a scam when he waltzed into the white house, disbanded trump’s “operation warp speed”, opened our southern border, and continues to spread over 2,000,000 nondocumented unvaccinated invaders across our country during a supposed “global pandemic” while anthony fauci, the cdc, the nih, the world health organization, the enemedia, hollywierd, and the majority of our elected representatives sit back and watch...

Biden has essentially driven Russia into the arms of China, which was the big enemy and rival of Russia, historically and even very recently.

Biden (well, really, I mean whoever is behind that empty husk) has virtually destroyed the dollar as a trustworthy currency. He has politicized it and made it a fiat currency based on an unreliable country. This is the modern US, an unreliable country that doesn’t honor contracts and can shut down any transaction at any moment for political reasons.

Behind this in Shanghai is China’s attempt to destroy one of the last remnants of Chinese capitalism and relative freedom, combined with China’s confidence that whatever it does will be copied by the leftist west.

The leftist west hates Russia not because Russia is a threat, but because it separated from Communism and made the entire world realize the cruel stupidity of Communism. Putin may be an autocrat but that’s a problem for the Russian people, not for us.

China is confident that Biden and Co. will follow along with the “Chinese response” the way they did the first time. And because this gives the Dems the chance to totally mess up the midterm elections, I suspect Fauci and the gang will be out there very soon.

I’ve already heard ominous rumblings about both “avian flu” and the “Philly [covid] variant,” so you know they’re setting up something soon and very soon.

Shanghai is the base of an opposing faction in CCP politics known as the Shanghai Clique. With a party congress scheduled for later this year where important positions are handed out or extended, a firm lockdown is a way for Xi Jinping to demonstrate to the CCP that his opponents are powerless to stop or constrain him.

A few youtube videos would educated the author of this article. The PRC is not locking down the entire city. They are locking down individual residential buildings. If nobody is positive in the building you are not locked down.

The PRC is misguided and wrong. But they are not lacking down 24 million people.

It’s (sic) simply doesn’t make any sense – even for China ...
Baloney. Not to mention that it sure is not unprecedented.

3.China is looking for an excuse to slow its production to put pressure on the Western world at a time when it is trying to separate further, economically, from the West


^ This I’ve been saying this for months. They are trying to starve us for goods.

I’ve been wondering if it’s an elaborate psyop to get Americans panicked and back into their masks, 6 feet apart, locked down, etc. If we go through that again, it will break our backs or kick off a violent revolt.

Also, could be a “fire drill” for their next bio weapon release, coming later?
