The pirate is not the enemy of the free market. The pirate is the only reason a semblance of one still exists.
Four hundred years of robes and charters were built to keep you from seeing it.
The crown gave the East India Company its monopoly and sent the navy to drown anyone who traded against it. Nobody out-traded a soul. A king drew a line across the ocean, called everything inside it his, and hanged the free men who crossed it as smugglers.
The same hand has drawn the same line ever since. Across the sea. Then the airwaves. Then the wires. Then the code inside your own blood.
Each time the powerful fence off a new world before you can reach it, deed it to their favorites, and pass a law making it a crime to climb the wall. And each time, out of the dark at the edge of the map, someone climbs it and breaks it open.
Every freedom you were ever handed in trade was taken first by a man the law of his day called a criminal.
The monopolist fears a free market, the one thing his charter was drawn to spare him, and a free market is exactly what the pirate is. Competition he was promised he would never have to face, come to his wall with the wind behind it.
Every law they wrote, every toll they set, every fence across the open water was only ever machinery to keep you paying and keep you grateful.
So raise the black flag.
⁉️Chinese National Auxiliary Police Appears in South Korea? Is South Korea Becoming the Second Hong Kong?
Recently, South Korea's local elections have triggered large-scale protests due to ballot shortages and suspected electoral fraud. Some citizens have discovered that among the Korean police dispersing the protesters, there appear to be "Chinese national auxiliary police."
Netizen "James Jseng" posted on Facebook, stating that South Korea's National Police Agency has guided the establishment of "Foreign Self-Defense Patrol Teams" at the local level, with members primarily consisting of Chinese nationals of Korean ethnicity (accounting for about 80%). The first such team was established in July 2009 in Garibong-dong, Guro District, Seoul, and has since expanded. The Korean police regularly issue certificates of appreciation to them.
The post points out that the "Foreign Self-Defense Patrol Teams" have been a publicly known entity from the beginning. However, in photos and reports publicly released by the South Korean National Police Agency, the foreign patrol team members shown are mainly Vietnamese, Southeast Asian, and Middle Eastern faces. Chinese nationals of Korean ethnicity are rarely seen.
In reality, however, Chinese nationals make up a far higher proportion of the overall foreign patrol teams than other nationalities and are recognized as the main force. Yet this discrepancy has never been properly explained by South Korean authorities. Instead, every time Chinese Korean-ethnic members appear online, it is through footage captured by passersby and circulated on social media, rather than presented through official channels.
The post notes, "The official choice of which faces to feature in public relations materials is itself a very meaningful decision."
The post also states that the misunderstanding of Chinese national self-defense patrol team members being mistaken for Korean police does exist.
It is also a fact that Korean-Chinese speakers do not sound like Seoul-accented Korean. Additionally, photos and videos circulating online show individuals wearing formal South Korean police uniforms with "경찰 POLICE" printed on them, accused of having obvious non-Korean accents and remaining silent in front of the camera.
South Korean authorities have never provided clear, case-by-case explanations for such specific accusations.
If South Korea has truly brought in Chinese Communist Party police, just think about Hong Kong's experience. During Hong Kong's 2019 anti-extradition movement, a large number of mainland Chinese Communist police appeared on Hong Kong streets, brutally beating civilians and ruthlessly suppressing the protests that involved millions of participants.
And then? The once-great Hong Kong died.
Recently, there have been many related videos online showing suspected "Chinese national auxiliary police" appearing in South Korea. I selected some and made a compilation.

Roseanne Milburn, 61, of Winnipeg, had a routine procedure turn into an amputation — not because the surgery failed, but because Canada’s government-run system couldn’t find her a bed.
A surgeon at Winnipeg’s Health Sciences Centre removed dead tissue from her knee, then sent her to Concordia Hospital with the plan to bring her back that same day so a specialist could stitch the wound (CBC News). She was never brought back.
There was no bed at HSC. So she sat at Concordia with an 𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐧 𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐠𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐰𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐞𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐝𝐚𝐲𝐬, waiting for the system to make room.
As the video narrator put it: “𝘌𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘥𝘢𝘺𝘴 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘢𝘯 𝘰𝘱𝘦𝘯 𝘸𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘥 𝘪𝘯 𝘊𝘢𝘯𝘢𝘥𝘢. 𝘕𝘰𝘵 𝘪𝘯 𝘊𝘶𝘣𝘢, 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘪𝘯 𝘔𝘢𝘥𝘢𝘨𝘢𝘴𝘤𝘢𝘳, 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘪𝘯 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦 𝘧𝘢𝘳-𝘧𝘭𝘶𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘳𝘥-𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘭𝘥 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘵𝘳𝘺. 𝘕𝘰, 𝘯𝘰, 𝘯𝘰, 𝘪𝘯 𝘊𝘢𝘯𝘢𝘥𝘢.”
By the time a bed opened, the wound had rotted past saving. The doctors told her the leg couldn’t be salvaged. On a Friday in December, Roseanne Milburn lost her 𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐥𝐞𝐠 — over a missing hospital bed.
This is not a freak accident. It is the predictable output of a system that rations care by making people wait.
In 2025, the median Canadian waited 𝟐𝟖.𝟔 𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐤𝐬 from a GP referral to actual treatment (Fraser Institute). For orthopedic surgery — the exact category Milburn needed — the median wait is 𝟒𝟖.𝟔 𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐤𝐬. Nearly a full year. By design.
That is 222 percent longer than the 9.3-week wait Canadians faced in 1993 (Fraser Institute). The system isn’t getting better. It’s getting slower — and the waiting list itself becomes the rationing mechanism.
Defenders call it “𝘧𝘳𝘦𝘦”. It is not free. Roseanne Milburn paid for it. She paid with her leg.
Every politician selling “𝘔𝘦𝘥𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘈𝘭𝘭” is selling this — the bed that never opens, the specialist who never comes, the wound that turns black while a bureaucrat shuffles a list.

@JOKAQARMY1 God, the amount of idiocy, not ignorance, just total retardation, not comprehending basic physics on level of primary school. Momentum, you pathetic morons.
Mark Warner kept the Russia Hoax on life support for years.
Now he's blocking Bill Pulte — the one man with the access to expose exactly what he did.
@BarbaraMBoyd breaks down why Warner and Fitzpatrick are panicking. 👇

Extremely telling development
🚨 Spencer Pratt just got passed up by Nithya Raman tonight and dropped to last place. They stole the election using Democrat NGOs to register the homeless in skid row using fake addresses. That’s the steal and they did it right in front of our eyes! 😡🤬
@GadSaad I don’t get it, what’s with sporting remnants of hair and beard. I rather look clean shaved like a Buddhist or Hare Krishna monk. Way more dignifying.
You can buy yourself old incandescent light bulbs any time on Amazon. They are not banned, they are propagandized and removed out of first reach in general stores. If anyone wants them, no problem except little brains while shopping. There is zero LED bulbs in my home, I eliminated them and not even think about it anymore.
@SalomeUgr Armenia killed itself the day they refuse being part of Russia Federation. Turks, Azerbaijan and Israel now will do whatever they want with your corpse with EU oversight. Zero strategic thinking.
@HarrisonHSmith Gestapo, literally Gestapo, those wankers been gave too much power, while British citizens are completely disarmed under threat of imprisonment. It’s not going to end well.
