    China Protests

    The other day I went down by the sea and this massive hawk came down looking for a meal and a whole flock of seagulls dive bombed him and chased him away. This hawk made me think of people like Gates and Schwab, they are only getting away with what they do because the people aren't standing up against them. They are so few, we are many. If we stood up, they wouldn't stand a chance and be run off just like that hawk down by the sea.

    Here in the US Covid restrictions have significantly relaxed it is now rare to see a person wearing a mask. In china they are still living like we were in our first days of the pandemic, maybe worse. They are on lock down, living in horrific conditions. On Thursday there was an apartment fire that killed 10 residents. People are saying it was because of the restrictions that they couldn't get out and died. They are now revolting, and protesting.

    “Crowds chanted “End the lockdown,” pumping their fists in the air as they walked down a street, according to videos circulated on Chinese social media on Friday night. Reuters verified the footage was published from the Xinjiang capital, Urumqi.


    Videos showed people in a plaza singing China’s national anthem with its lyric “Rise up, those who refuse to be slaves” while others shouted that they wanted to be released from lockdowns”. https://www.theguardian.com/world/20...er-deadly-fire

    Not good for China. Internal security is China's #1 national security issue.

    Pumping their fist is all they can do considering they have no guns.

    For them it's a huge act of defiance. If I learned anything from the Canadian protests is that guns are not needed. What our leaders fear the most is peace and non division. That is what they have to avoid at all costs. Our establishment trembled in fear when the Canadians were dancing in the street and hugging each other, and standing together in peace regardless of party or race. That is the most powerful weapon we have.

    Except in Canada the police will not just shoot you for acting up or peaceful protest. In China they will. Why, they won't get in trouble shooting innocent people and are not afraid of people arming themselves and coming after them.

    It is a huge act of defiance. And, it's gaining energy.

    In multiple videos seen by CNN, people could be heard shouting demands for China’s leader Xi Jinping and the Communist Party to “step down.” The crowd also chanted, “Don’t want Covid test, want freedom!” and “Don’t want dictatorship, want democracy!”
    https://www.cnn.com/2022/11/26/china...hnk/index.html

    China is going all-out to censor the news and coverage of the protests, but the Chinese in general are pretty tech-savvy and they know how to get the news out via the internet.

    Humans can only be suppressed for so long before they revolt. I don't know if we're seeing that point right now in China, but it's getting pretty heated over there. And, I don't blame them.

    Just think of what the protest will do to their social credit score.

    It's not that odd how many Chinese citizens suddenly "perish".

    It's mostly just a periodical thinning of the herd via any means necessary

    OMG they will be so screwed. They probably figure they are already on full lock down anyways, at that point there is nothing left to lose. I think that is the point at which people revolt.
