As we watch people around the world demanding freedom, What Is happening to America?

We are watching people around the world erupt. They see the writing on the wall and have decided that they aren’t going to take it anymore. In China, from The Economist:

“Under a road bridge in central Beijing, just before two o’clock in the morning on November 28th, one of that city’s most powerful men came face to face with youngsters driven to despair by China’s harsh “zero-covid” controls. The brief meeting was revealing in several ways. It offered a glimpse of the security machine built by China’s supreme leader, President Xi Jinping, and the Communist Party’s confidence in it. On the protesters’ side, it showed how, in today’s China, youthful idealism is tempered by a sober understanding of the party’s might.

“Overall, this is an alarming moment for Mr Xi and his regime. China’s covid-19 epidemic is raging and public frustration over the government’s virus controls is deep and broad. In recent days that has sparked protests in every corner of the country, binding angry workers, locked-down city residents and students. In the icy depths of that Beijing night, hundreds of young Chinese staged a rare demonstration in the capital. They lit candles for victims of lockdowns and called for an end to endless covid testing and the quarantining of every positive case. They sang the “Internationale” and a song of farewell for the dead, notably for families who died in an apartment-building blaze in the western region of Xinjiang, reportedly after fire exits were sealed. As social media spread word of this protest on the banks of the Liangma river, scores of cars drove past to sound horns in support. For five hours police in uniform and plain clothes had mingled with the crowd, filming every moment, without intervening” .[1]

If “people around the world” were “demanding” freedom, then they would have it.

The fact is, most of the “people demanding freedom” are traitors to their own countries, and are being used as bait to suck America into more foreign wars on behalf of alien peoples who give us nothing except refugees and dead heroes.

Governments like Iran, Afghanistan, Iraq, the West African “countries” cannot exist without broad popular support. How barbarous peoples governed by savages like their arrangements is none of our business, and enough American blood has been shed, especially in the Middle East, for a century.

No more neocon lies. Our war is here.

Freedom is clearly being lost in this country that is the greater problem than any “freedom” problems in other countries.

Wait until the ahos sneaking across the border find out they are going to have to look for somewhere else to live. America, the Piñata Grande is finished.

It’s just a hardcore clampdown on the citizens of China - the same as the mask mandates here when the kovid krap restricted our freedom of movement, schools, work, shopping etc.

The chicoms don’t give a flyin’ f about their people as it has only purpose and that is control. Anybody that thinks different is going through life with a low IQ.

In a word: depravity.

When it looks like many people have been turned over to depraved minds do not dismiss the idea that many have been.
