They're not bad folks.

Years ago, the horrors of the holocaust paved the way for the Universal Declaration of Human Rights; however, our basic right to freedom of religion or belief is still being trampled in societies ruled by totalitarian regimes.
In communist China, practicing a certain faith, printing, or even reading religious (books) could result in prison terms and abuse. Spiritual believers in China—be it Christians, Buddhists, Uyghur Muslims, or Falun Gong practitioners—are faced not only with brutal suppression or forced-labor terms but also have their religious books burned or trashed at the hands of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).
The coercive policies are aimed at forcing these religious followers to renounce their faith and follow the communist ideologies based on atheism and Marxism. (
As I have quoted before——
During the German book burning leading up to the Holocaust....
“Also among those works burned were the writings of beloved nineteenth-century German Jewish poet Heinrich Heine, who wrote in his 1820–1821 play Almansor the famous admonition, : “Where they burn books, they will also ultimately burn people.”
He was a Jew who converted to Christianity and became an expatriate in Paris for his last 25 years due to authorities censoring and banning his poems, essays and criticism in Germany.
That practice is here in the U.S. even at the door.
Well, it’s not Joplin... YET!
The true Christian church has always grown in times of persecution. Albeit perhaps underground and in homes.
Arriving soon in a city or town near you?

No wonder the current regime occupying the WhiteHut and the CCP get along so well..... and no wonder Gates is onboard too. He can take advantage of slave labor and claim himself as the god of the globe.
Pelosi will wait a few weeks before introducing a similar bill on the House floor.
It’s become common to say that the millwheel of government grinds slowly but exceedingly, but they haven’t seen God grind yet. The original Longfellow quote was about God.
Exceedingly fine
China is complaining about a birth dearth ... while oppressing the group most likely to save them.
There is a demonstrated solution no one is discussing - religion.
Conservatives in the US average 2.1 kids - replacement level. Liberals average 1.5. More religious subpopulations still have 3+ children. But liberals are spreading THEIR worldview in the schools, convincing many to never have children ...
Furthermore, increased religiosity can REVERSE population declines. The country of Georgia has raised its birth rate by having their Eastern Orthodox pope be the personal godfather to every third or later legitimate birth. It led to birth rates going from 1.5 to 1.9 or so. That’s nearly replacement level.
More importantly, it occurred WITHOUT a rise in single motherhood or government checks. It was entirely due to a rise in third and fourth children being born, along with more people having a second child.
Another example would be Israel. By being openly religious, it has above replacement level fertility ... though the secular again average 1.5 while conservatives have 2.5.
This is the future of the United States with the democrat party in control.
