Social Media Giants Spread Chines Communist Hoax

 

It has been revealed that, at the height of the “Stop Asian Hate” trend in the United States, fake social media accounts created and run by the Chinese government actively took part in the political hoax in order to sow divisions within the American population, the Washington Free Beacon reports.

This infiltration was discovered after a study was carried out by cybersecurity firm Mandiant, which worked in conjunction with a research team from Google. Their newly-released report found that thousands of accounts across the major Big Tech platforms, including Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube, were created for the sole purpose of demanding that more Americans participate in protests against so-called “anti-Asian discrimination.

The accounts particularly targeted Americans living in New York City, and actively sought to dispute any claims that the COVID-19 coronavirus may have originated in a virology lab in Wuhan, China, even though more evidence has emerged in recent months that appears to confirm this theory. The rhetoric spread across social media by these accounts echoes the talking points of the Chinese government, which has not only vigorously denied the “lab leak” theory, but has also repeatedly and falsely claimed that the coronavirus originated in the United States.

This and other trends fell under the larger banner of #StopAsianHate, a far-left social justice effort which claimed, with little to no evidence, that there was a spike in anti-Asian hate crimes in 2020 and 2021, allegedly as retaliation for the Chinese origins of the global pandemic.

Per ACE: "Are we going to appoint special prosecutors to look into the the American Ruling Class taking money from Communist China, or nah?"

 

Journalists we Went on Chinese Communist Junkets, then Delivered Favorable Coverage

The China-United States Exchange Foundation (CUSEF) was founded by the Vice-Chairman of the “highest-ranking entity overseeing” Chinese Communist Party’s United Front Department, an effort which aims to “co-opt and neutralize sources of potential opposition to the policies and authority” of the Chinese government. “The United Front strategy uses a range of methods to influence overseas Chinese communities, foreign governments, and other actors to take actions or adopt positions supportive of Beijing’s preferred policies,”

Who is More Believable, the American Press or the Chinese Press

 It seems to me that citizens of China know that the Chinese News is government propaganda.  

Half the American news consumers are not aware that the American news media is lying to them.

At least the Chinese news consumer is aware that he's being misinformed.

A CRISIS OF PERSPECTIVE: Pundits in Denial are Cratering Their Creditability

Disturbing ... and hopeful.  Read the whole thing. 

 I don’t know why so many of those on the right are failing to face reality at this critical time. The reality is if we fail this time, there is no next time. The villains who are claiming victory are telling us what our new conditions are going to be like. China will rule the world, with assists from Iran and European Union. The United States will be no more, and our former citizens will be eating insects and weeds in the Great Reset gulag camps for Covid vaccine deniers. Unless Antifa decides to bludgeon us to death first, while the defunded police stand by and watch.

Communist Stooges: WashPost Propaganda Cheers Chinese Regime

The leftist rag’s Beijing bureau chief Anna Fifield excitedly described how indoctrinated Chinese youth flocked to “the giant statue of a young Mao — China’s equivalent of Mount Rushmore — staring out over the Xiangjiang River.” 

She marveled at how one young university student “jostled on a recent day for the perfect selfie with the Great Helmsman.”

 Deciding that being an apologist for China’s brutal Communist regime was more important that being an actual journalist, Fiffield completely ignored the fact Zedong was responsible for the deaths of 65 million people as his heinous Great Cultural Revolution brought about widespread famine, imprisonment, and executions. 

 Showing what a true embarrassment she is to her profession, Fifield actually touted benefits of toeing the Communist Party line: “Party membership means better education prospects and better jobs, more politically advantageous marriages and nicer apartments. For many, it is a ticket to a brighter future.”

 It’s really no surprise that the Post would publish this drivel, since for years it has included propaganda inserts in the paper titled ChinaWatch, prepared by state-run media, China Daily. Those publications routinely deliver rambling from the Communist regime and cheer “Comrade Mao.” 

 In December, The Washington Free Beacon uncovered that China Daily repeatedly violated federal law by not disclosing to U.S. government the millions of dollars it has spent on such propaganda inserts in major American newspapers. Sadly, the Post’s Tuesday article was just the latest chapter in the long, pathetic history of American media outlets serving as cheerleaders for Communism.

Manchurian Media

For the 2nd time, a reporter working for a media controlled by the #CCP failed to disclose the affiliation when prompted by President Trump.

If Media Don’t Want To Be Called Propagandists, They Need To Stop Publishing Chinese and Russian Propaganda

If you ever spend any time in the Washington D.C. area, there’s a good chance you’ll come across a publication known as China Daily. In appearance, it’s a newspaper. In reality, it is official propaganda from the Chinese government that Communist Party officials deem appropriate for influencing those inside the Beltway. You can find it all over downtown D.C. in newspaper boxes. Large stacks of free copies are also dropped off directly at offices all over the city.

Even better, if you subscribe to the Washington Post, you can get communist propaganda delivered straight to your doorstep for a fee. A few times a year, the Post comes wrapped in a special advertising supplement called China Watch that, again, does its best to approximate a legitimate newspaper. But underneath the masthead in fine print, it reads: “This supplement, prepared by China Daily, People’s Republic of China, did not involve the news or editorial departments of the Washington Post.”

Anyway, you may have recently heard about how two million people out of a population of seven million in Hong Kong recently protested in the streets against the Communist Party’s attempt to further snuff out their little pocket of freedom. Here’s how China Daily is reporting what happened:

Parents in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region took to the streets on Sunday to urge US politicians to not interfere with the SAR’s extradition amendments and its internal affairs.

The protest, organized by several Hong Kong social groups, also condemned foreign entities for misleading young people in the city.

Among these social groups was an alliance of more than 30 local political, business and legal dignitaries who support the proposed amendments to the SAR’s extradition law. They marched outside the US Consulate General in Hong Kong and Macao, calling on the US to stop interfering in Hong Kong affairs

.

The whole article is a damnable lie, and yet, as far as I know, the brave truth-tellers at the Washington Post have been taking money to distribute this kind of bilge at least since 2011.

The major news outlets in the US are enemies of the people and allies of those who want us dead.
