I think I am probably going to die any minute now. An inflamed, deceived mob of about 50 desperate men are crowding round the car, some trying to turn it over, others beating at it with large rocks, all yelling insults and curses.

They have just started to smash the windows. Next, they will pull us out and, well, let's not think about that ...

**** (SNIP)

Very, very disturbing article about our soon-to-be Overlords if the US goes down the tubes.

[gaijin]

He’s such a lefty, and yet soooo heroic. He’s.....totally amazing.

GREAT ARTICLE! That guy has got GUTS!

[Radix]

"Why did they want to kill us? What was the reason for their fury?"

 

If you have to ask, then you clearly have not been paying attention.

[acapesket]

Umm..Mr. Hitchens... HELLLOOO!

"Our soon-to-be overlords?!!"

"I would never invade the United States, there would be a gun behind every blade of grass" Fleet Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto, Commander-in-Chief of the Imperial Japanese Navy during World War II.

I’ve really been impressed with British news lately. Here is an important story that required actual investigation and reporting of facts. The news media in the United States does little more than report and rewrite DNC press releases.

unbelievably to me, driving through the heart of Chinatown in Philly today, we passed under an English language banner stretched across the street most prominently, celebrating the 59 th anniversary of the founding of the “Peoples’ Republic” of China.

Not your ordinary China ping but a fascinating article concerning China nevertheless.

So much for the evils or Western Imperialism.

[Travis McGee]

I’m pretty sure that’s a bogus quote, created out of thin air and repeated a million times on the net.

Pei-Ping.

[dragnet2]

They won’t have to invade.

[gusopol3]

different Hitchens— this isn’t Trotskyite Christopher,atheist, anti-monarchiist, etc. This one is his brother, monarchist, Christian and I guess conservative, though much less a presence on this side of the Atlantic

A ping list dedicated to exposing the quality, safety and security issues of anything “Made in China”.


Please FReepmail me if you would like to be on or off of the list.

(This can be a high volume ping list.)

No, it's real.

FWIW Yamamoto was educated at Harvard and was, oddly enough, pro American for the most part.

Here's two more of his quotes:

"In the first six to twelve months of a war with the United States and Great Britain I will run wild and win victory upon victory. But then, if the war continues after that, I have no expectation of success."

"I fear all we have done is awaken a sleeping giant and fill him with a terrible resolve." (on Pearl Harbor).

[Travis McGee]

I still have seen no verified attribution for that quote. A letter, a book, etc.

If they do pay for someone to go abroad it is either to EU to report on how much they hate us, or to Iraq/Afghanistan to report on how much they hate us.

There are persistent rumours, which cropped up in almost every conversation I had in Zambia, that many of the imported Chinese workforce are convicted criminals whom China wants to offload in Africa. I was unable to confirm this but, given China's enormous gulag and the harshness of life for many migrant workers, it is certainly not impossible.

Frankly, this would not surprise me in the least.

After my ammo is spent, I just hope I make a nice lampshade for someone.
