Israel slaughtered 15 aid workers in Gaza, buried their bodies so nobody would know, lied about it, and only got caught because they forget to steal one of the victims' cell phones, and he recorded the entire massacre.

Israel also did this:

Pete Hegseth said this was "the first sinking of an enemy ship by a torpedo since WWII" (which is false, but that's beside the point), so I decided to look at what happened in WW2 and... this might surprise no-one: turns out the Nazis were more humane than the Americans.

Probably the most abject part here is that the warship had many survivors - 32 to be precise (https://t.co/bS1uARrBtf) - and the U.S. made zero effort to rescue them, despite it being required by the laws of naval warfare and simply being the honorable thing to do.

It took little Sri-Lanka, with its very modest means - especially compared to the $1 trillion US defense budget - to do the honorable thing and launch a (successful) rescue operation.

Even the literal Nazis, during WW2, rescued the survivors of ships their U-boats sank. It was considered a matter of basic honor.

The history of this is actually interesting: the Nazis rescued survivors all the way until the so-called Laconia Incident in 1942 (https://t.co/6wI251aNCv).

The Laconia was a British troopship sunk by U-156, a German U-boat, off the West African coast. Right after the sinking, the Nazis immediately began rescuing over 400 survivors, broadcasting - as was common practice - in plain English their position on open radio channels to all Allied powers nearby, so they wouldn't get attacked during the rescue.

That's when a US B-24 "Liberator" bomber attacked the submarine anyway, even though all the rescued survivors were on its foredeck. The B-24 killed dozens of Laconia's survivors with bombs and strafing attacks, forcing U-156 to cast into the sea the remaining survivors that she had rescued and crash dive to avoid being destroyed.

The American B-24 pilots mistakenly reported they had sunk U-156, and were awarded medals for bravery...

This event completely changed Nazi policy on this matter: Karl Dönitz, commander of the U-boat fleet, issued the "Laconiarefehl" - the Laconia Order - forbidding U-boats from rescuing survivors, because the risk to the submarine was now too high.

In other words, the Americans during WW2 essentially forced the Nazis to abandon survivors - from the allied side (!) - at sea.

Dönitz at least had an excuse.

Why do so many Chinese go to American universities?

Because it's EASY to get into a top 20 US uni.

Chinese International school students study less than half as hard as public school students and get perfect GPAs.

SAT / GMAT is a joke, literally the single dumbest Chinese student at my business school, who was known by everyone on campus for having the lowest GMAT score, had a 700/800 score- which is still top 13%.
And that score is enough for like a top 5 global business school.

Essays are written by admission consultants and extracurriculars can be gamed by parents hiring foreign basketball coaches and paying for their son to play in stacked teams.

Basically the dumbest motherfucker in China can at the VERY LEAST get into UCLA or NYU, while they might not even be able to get into ANY Chinese university if they went the public school route.

Obviously, if you can afford it, why wouldn't you send your kids to NYU instead of getting embarrassed by your kid not having any college degree at all?

People think Chinese go to America because the education is better, but they actually go there because the education standards are lower.

🚨 EDWARD SNOWDEN’S CHILLING WARNING IS NOW UNFOLDING IN REAL TIME

What China built… is exactly what Western governments are quietly preparing for.

Snowden is crystal clear:

Every photo, every purchase, every message, every movement — all of it is being fed into algorithms that decide your future.

In China, AI “city brains” now track:

Where you live
Who you visit
How you dispose of your rubbish
Every step you take in public
Whether you “follow rules” or not

Break a rule?

A camera catches you from three angles.

Your score drops.

Your life collapses.

Snowden’s warning:

“If any of your activities differ from what the government wants, you won’t get on a train.

You won’t board a plane.
You won’t get a job.

An algorithm will decide your fate.
And what they are selling… is us.”

This is not a future threat.

It is happening now — in Shanghai, in Beijing… and creeping into the West through digital ID, AI policing, and “misinformation scoring.”

China built the prototype.

Our governments are importing the blueprint.

Stay informed.
Stay alert.
Do not let this system take root.

[Sony Thăng @nxt888]

You don't speak for Asia.

You speak for Washington.

You list Japan, the Philippines, Vietnam, Australia, South Korea, and India as if they form a single anti-China bloc.

They don't.

What they share is a century of being used as forward outposts for someone else's empire.

Vietnam does not see China as an "existential threat."

We see interference as the threat, whether it comes in Mandarin, English, or any other imperial tongue.

Our history is not defined by fear of our neighbor.

It’s defined by resisting every empire that tried to make us choose a side.

We fought China when we had to.

We fought the United States when we had to.

And we survived both, not because we trusted either, but because we never let any foreign power define who we should fear.

You say "most countries see China as a threat."

No, most countries see American militarization as the real destabilizer.

Who sailed carrier groups into Asian waters?

Who armed dictators, staged coups, and dropped napalm across this region?

It wasn't Beijing.

It was Washington.

China builds ports, trains, and industrial zones.

The U.S. builds bases, blockades, and burial grounds.

That's the difference between a partner and a patron.

Vietnam's security is not threatened by China's rise.

It is threatened by being turned again into a pawn in someone else's Cold War.

Every time Asia starts to unite, someone in Europe or Washington panics,

Because a self-determined Asia is the end of Western primacy.

You call yourself a "foreign policy analyst."

But you don't analyze foreign policy.

You recycle colonial reflexes.

You confuse Asia's memory of survival with your fear of losing control.

The truth is simple:

Most of Asia trades with China, not the U.S.

Most of Asia trusts development, not deployment.

And most of Asia knows that the only empire still demanding loyalty oaths is the one flying the Stars and Stripes.

So stop speaking for us, Ulrich.

You don't understand Asia.

You misunderstand your own irrelevance.

REVEALED: How the US spent tens of millions of dollars to trick the world into believing that the Chinese had genocided an entire minority group.

But they couldn’t find a single victim.

The story of the rise and fall of the Uyghur Genocide Hoax is a stunning example of the power of Langley and Washington DC in global brainwashing.

Full details in the video, but some key points are below.

.

1.) The idea of fighting Islamist terrorism by creating tough re-education camps to instill patriotism came from France, NOT from China.

China’s de-radicalization program was different, focused on vocational training, education in the arts, and language courses.

.

2.) The stunning plan from the CIA-adjacent group known as the NED was to rebrand China’s vocational program as a series of “mass killings” and “atrocities” amounting to “genocide”.

The plotters met at a June 2019 conference in Washington, where NED leader Carl Gershman said the goal was to leave China “on the ash heap of history”, adding: “I believe that will happen.”

.

3.) But the US call for the world to back their claim of genocide in China flopped badly. Most of the world’s 200 countries refused—only seven (UK, Canada, Netherlands, Lithuania, France, Belgium and Czech Republic) agreed to back Washington’s completely evidence-free allegation.

.

4.) By the end of 2019, the press was printing a stream of “atrocity” reports from five different Uyghur “human rights” projects. But ALL FIVE were western organizations financed by the NED—a crucial detail that NO western mainstream media outlet chose to include.

.

5.) By 2020, social media was carrying a huge number of allegations saying the number of Chinese Uyghurs who had been killed had now risen above six million—all using identical words and phrasing. In reality, there was no evidence of any sort of mass killings, as the US State Department’s own lawyers warned in print.

The sole image that the western mainstream press repeatedly printed as proof of the existence of the 2019 “concentration camps” was really a 2017 photograph of addicts at a drug rehab center listening to talks by a Muslim speaker, a recovered addict, and his mother.

.

6.) One US ambassador, Linda Thomas-Greenfield, strongly argued that despite the total lack of evidence, the Chinese had definitely committed genocide.

.

7.) In 2021, the NED financed a one-sided tribunal. A judge asked about the actual number of the “two million or three million” in the “internment camps”. The NED-financed witness, clearly embarrassed, said it was 5,567. One NED-financed “database” was found to contain images of Hong Kong movie stars.

.

8.) The US changed strategy. Okay, so China was not actually killing its Uyghur minority. But the birth rate of Uyghurs had fallen—and this could be taken as a genocide in itself, Washington argued. Scholars of genocide disagreed.

.

9.) Sex scandals hit the most prominent leaders in the NED’s Uyghur exploitation operation in 2024. Western mainstream media chose not to report this to their readers—but quoted these “human rights” groups less.

.

10.) In 2024 and 2025, the entire world was horrified to see a real genocide underway in Gaza. Western mainstream journalists abruptly halted reports on the entirely imaginary genocide in China—where the number of Uyghur Chinese continued to grow higher than the number of Han Chinese, both proportionally and in real terms.

.

TWIST IN THE TALE
This year, one US ambassador repeatedly mortified humanity. She was happy to raise her hand, alone, at the United Nations. to veto the world’s attempts to stop the slaughter in Gaza.

It was Linda Thomas-Greenfield. She was the woman who had declared an imaginary genocide to be real, and was now declaring a real genocide to be fake.

Somewhere in space, the God of Irony had a heart attack and died.
