    Here we go with this lemmitor copypasta dumbassery again.


    Neither the Tiananmen riots nor Pooh is censored in China. I think Lemmitors themselves made up the Pooh censorship nonsense.

    • The Tian’anmen Square ‘Massacre’: The West’s Most Persuasive, Most Pervasive Lie.
    • 1989 Tian’anmen Square riots
    • A Note on the Tiananmen Protests
    • Images from Tiananmen 1989 the West never shows (NSFW / CW: violence and death)
    • Tank Man video footage. Tiananmen Square, Beijing, 1989

    And the Uyghur bullshit has been debunked six ways to Sunday.

    The US tried to foment division in China by funding and organizing terrorist cells in Xinjiang, and when those efforts failed it concocted and promoted a genocide narrative. Antony Blinken is still pushing this slop, just two weeks ago.

    • The Xinjiang Genocide Allegations Are Unjustified
    • The Uyghur Human Rights Project is a product of the National Endowment for Democracy, which is the American government’s main regime change NGO.
    • Uyghur genocide allegations
    • American Debunks All Major Western Propaganda on Uyghurs and Xinjiang
    • US-Funded Uyghur Activists Train as Soldiers of Empire
    • A Reddit AMA Claiming To Be A Uyghur Quickly Exposes A CIA Asset Slandering China
    • The blueprint of regime change operations

    We see here for example the evolution of public opinion in regards to China. In 2019, the ‘Uyghur genocide’ was broken by the media (Buzzfeed, of all outlets). In this story, we saw the machine I described up until now move in real time. Suddenly, newspapers, TV, websites were all flooded with stories about the ‘genocide’, all day, every day. People whom we’d never heard of before were brought in as experts — Adrian Zenz, to name just one; a man who does not even speak a word of Chinese.

    Organizations were suddenly becoming very active and important. The World Uyghur Congress, a very serious-sounding NGO, is actually an NED Front operating out of Germany […]. From their official website, they declare themselves to be the sole legitimate representative of all Uyghurs — presumably not having asked Uyghurs in Xinjiang what they thought about that.

    The WUC also has ties to the Grey Wolves, a fascist paramilitary group in Turkey, through the father of their founder, Isa Yusuf Alptekin.

    Documents came out from NGOs to further legitimize the media reporting. This is how a report from the very professional-sounding China Human Rights Defenders (CHRD) came to exist. They claimed ‘up to 1.3 million’ Uyghurs were imprisoned in camps. What they didn’t say was how they got this number: they interviewed a total of 10 people from rural Xinjiang and asked them to estimate how many people might have been taken away. They then extrapolated the guesstimates they got and arrived at the 1.3 million figure.

    Sanctions were enacted against China — Xinjiang cotton for example had trouble finding buyers after Western companies were pressured into boycotting it. Instead of helping fight against the purported genocide, this act actually made life more difficult for the people of Xinjiang who depend on this trade for their livelihood (as we all do depend on our skills to make a livelihood).

    Any attempt China made to defend itself was met with more suspicion. They invited a UN delegation which was blocked by the US. The delegation eventually made it there, but three years later. The Arab League also visited Xinjiang and actually commended China on their policies — aimed at reducing terrorism through education and social integration, not through bombing like we tend to do in the West.

        Yeah. Considering how hard it is to cook up news sources that support your propaganda. There is not one reputable source in your references. And you start celebrating!

          It’s not hard to find news sources that support yours: it’s been blasted in our faces all day every day our entire lives.

          A KGB spy and a CIA agent meet up in a bar for a friendly drink.

          “I have to admit, I’m always so impressed by Soviet propaganda. You really know how to get people worked up,” the CIA agent says.

          “Thank you,” the KGB says. “We do our best but truly, it’s nothing compared to American propaganda. Your people believe everything your state media tells them.”

          The CIA agent drops his drink in shock and disgust. “Thank you friend, but you must be confused… There’s no propaganda in America.”

            Your answer to everything is just trash? Keep it to yourself.

              All of the above is in US college curricula and none of it is controversial. It’s in history, polysci, public relations, journalism, and marketing schools.

            Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

            Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
