This is our regressive social order.

And we're damned proud of it.

So they let off Kyle Rittenhouse with, well, nothing. As a commentator on Facebook said: "The Rittenhouse decision has basically deputized white supremacists to kill protestors with impunity. Political violence on a new scale and register is coming our way." Remember, as I said earlier, that political alliances run America.

Then on the other side of the globe you have "where is Peng Shuai?"

This is all to be regarded on the coat-tails of Russia's situation and Nicaragua's situation.

It appears that planet Earth's reaction to capitalism unto death is to split up into groups and to allow a few men (and I do mean men) in those groups to decide things for everyone in those groups. Left alternatives will be co-opted or forbidden, and democracy is to be reduced to a formality. Vigilantes will decide "justice" for us. The Chinese leadership will decide for the Chinese people who is and who isn't to be raped. The Nicaraguans and Russians will let leaders decide for everyone.

Poor people will be too unprofitable to get justice, when they are murdered.It will be easy for crooks to kill poor people and get away with it. And in that world there will be a huge number of poor and likely also homeless people.

In the Third World people are killed with impunity. Many murders are never solved. Do we want privatized police? Mostly from other countries (the whole point of doing all this is to cut wages) , NO. Thats what privatization of everything leads to. The jobs are not good jobs like police jobs, they are ALL jobs that involve tax money and services. Everything you cannot drop on your foot.

its expensive to investigate murders. Corporate crimefighting will put cost first. The Indian temping firms that hope to broker the jobs are notorious for penny pinching and nickel and diming the costs of their workers, who are charged top dollar for expenses like cars food and housing, These expenses are charged against their (US legal) minimum wages

Basically, they have been in power because they have sold outtheir people in order to make their VIPS billionaires.

The VIPS here are also rich. All of our Senators are millionaires. This makes it easier for our lawmakers to relate with their billionaire lobbyists.

They insist that their one party system is better than the two party system here. But really is there much choice under the DNC?

A top CPC official was recently exposed as forcing himself on one of their top tennis players, sexually. Yes, KMT was hugely corrupt and didnt care about the common people. . So now anybody who mentions "tennis" on their blogs has their post deleted!

They are catching up with the US in digital censorship, or are even ahead.

THey really are showing their true face with Hong Kong. Last year two million Hong Kongers came out to say no, they did not want the extradition bill, this year many educated Hong Kongers are voting with their feet.

is just another "big pile of bullshit".

You got that stinking pile from the NYT. If you want the truth about Peng Shuai in China read the following from MoA:

New York Times Invents 'Sexual Assault' #MeToo Case To Blame China
November 19, 2021
...
To those U.S. centric stories one must add all the false claims made about foreign countries - see Syria and Belarus for recent example. One then finds that the media do not report but, as Sullivan writes, "make the news fit the broader political fight".

There is currently a push for a boycott of the winter Olympics in Beijing. Western media are busy to push for an anti-China angle of the games. Their aim is a political boycott so no one 'in good standing' dares to visit them.

On November 2, by timely chance, some well known Chinese sportswoman posted a sad story about the end of her love affair with a once powerful older man on the Chinese social media site Weibo. That post was soon taken down, likely by the woman herself, but that was too late to prevent that the 'woke' western media and Olympic boycott campaigners made a hash out of it.

A day after the post was published and unpublished the New York Times mangled the facts to make it into a 'woke' anti-China story:

A Chinese Tennis Star Accuses a Former Top Leader of Sexual Assault
Peng Shuai’s accusation against Zhang Gaoli takes the country’s budding #MeToo movement to the top echelons of the Communist Party for the first time.
...
The post was removed within minutes, but the allegations swirled through the country’s heavily controlled internet, fueled by the fame of the accuser and the accused. That kept the censors inside China’s Great Firewall scrambling.
...
Ms. Peng’s accusations could not be corroborated.
...

As it turns out no 'assault' had happened. Moreover Peng Shuai never alleged that an 'assault' happened. The New York Times made that up!
...
And that's it folks. Zhang Gaoli and Peng Shuai had a years long affair. They loved each other. But after three years they broke up. Peng Shuai has trouble to get over it. Hours later she makes a public post about the issue which she, minutes later, deletes. That's it.

Read her post yourself. Nowhere is there any claim of an 'sexual assault' in it.
...
The claim of an 'assault' was completely made up between the ears of some New York Times writers. To call them liars is an understatement. They lie, invent and manipulate 'facts' for nefarious reasons:

Andrew Sullivan @sullydish - 21:27 UTC · Nov 12, 2021

2016 election. Rittenhouse. Covington. Russian collusion. Vaccines. Bounties on US soldiers. Lab-leak theory. Jussie Smollett. The Pulse shooting. The Atlanta shootings. Hunter Biden laptop. Inflation. Steele Dossier.

The MSM got every single one wrong.

Update 16:54 UTC

Shen Shiwei沈诗伟 @shen_shiwei - 15:18 UTC · 19 Nov 2021

Peng Shuai’s WeChat moments just posted three latest photos and said “Happy weekend”.
Her friend shared the three photos and the screenshot of Peng’s WeChat moments.

No, the MSN did not not get those wrong. It willfully manipulated the news on those cases. It invented 'facts' which were free of any evidence. It created big piles of bullshit.

The Peng Shuai 'assault' case is just another one of those.

Project Democracy coup machine drives Hong Kong ‘protests’

27 Aug.—Any time the governments, mainstream media and the bulk of “left”- and “right”-wing pundits across the Anglosphere unite in support of some “pro-democracy movement”, it is safe to assume that said movement was created or has been co-opted by the Anglo-American empire for its own geopolitical purposes—none of which has anything to do with democracy. This was true of the 2011 uprising by so-called “moderate rebels” that launched NATO’s ongoing proxy war on Syria; of the 2013-14 “Maidan” protests-turned-riots in Ukraine that overthrew the elected government, installed neo-Nazi thugs in its place, and precipitated a civil war; and of the violent pro-fascist mobs who tried, but failed, in 2014 and again this year to dislodge the government of Venezuela. And it is likewise true of the past four months’ civil unrest in the former British colony of Hong Kong, where what began as a series of genuine political protests has long since been taken over by violent radicals backed by the British and US governments, via the “Project Democracy” regime-change machinery used to destabilise and overthrow governments around the world for over 30 years.
...
Usual suspects

Chief among these agitators is Jimmy Lai, sometimes described as the “Rupert Murdoch of Asia”. A protégé of radical free-market economist and British Crown agent Milton Friedman (see Almanac), “Lai established his credentials by pouring millions of dollars into the 2014 Occupy Central protest, which is known popularly as the Umbrella Movement”, US journalist Dan Cohen reported 17 August for news website The Grayzone. “He has since used his massive fortune to fund local anti-China political movers and shakers while injecting the protests with a virulent brand of Sinophobia.” Having built a mainland business empire on the back of his clothing label Giordano, “In 1989 [Lai] threw his weight behind the Tiananmen Square protests, hawking t-shirts on the streets of Beijing calling for [China’s then-leader] Deng Xiaoping to ‘step down’. Lai’s actions provoked the Chinese government to ban his company from operating on the mainland. A year later, he founded Next Weekly magazine … [and] soon became Hong Kong’s media kingpin, worth a whopping US$660 million in 2009...
...
From protest to riot: the ‘Maidan’ template

Large-scale protests, both those against the government and the sometimes larger—though never reported as such by the establishment media—counter-demonstrations in support of the government and police, have largely petered out since Hong Kong Chief Executive Carrie Lam pronounced the extradition bill “dead” on 9 July. Since then, what the British, US and Australian governments and media continue to refer to as “protests” have in fact descended into a series of violent attacks on police and disruptions to public order by a hard core of no more that a few thousand radicals...
...
This tactic comes straight from the playbook of Oxford trained American political theorist Gene Sharp—specifically, his 1973 three-volume magnum opus The Politics of Nonviolent Action, and 1993 handbook From Dictatorship to Democracy: A conceptual framework for action. Both, but especially the latter, which has been translated in over 40 languages, have been the bible of every MI6/ CIA-backed “colour revolution” and regime change since the 1986 Yellow Revolution against Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos, through the Tiananmen Square demonstrations in 1989 (in which Sharp later boasted he had been personally involved), the well-known 2003 Georgian “Rose”, and 2004 Ukrainian “Orange” revolutions, as well as failed attempts against Russia (“White”, 2012) and other Anglo-American geopolitical targets.1 The 2014 “colour” (umbrella) revolution in Hong Kong failed too, but the empire does not give up so easily.

@Pricknick

are we now supposed to interpret anything that reflects unfavourably on China to be manufactured by mainstream media for the purpose of inflaming distrust of China? Is there really no reason whatsoever to have some healthy distrust of Chinese political motives at times?

And why the fuck does every high-profile sexual abuse issue have to be broadcast and dissected by all sides of the media?

Go ahead and prick me back if you must ; ).

Maybe your msm in NZ is trustworthy but mine is not. They are proven benefactors of government money and as such are as trusted as the government. Meaning not at all.

I mostly don’t trust the MSM, here or there. I do though try to reserve a little room for what veracity there might be contained in the reporting of an issue that I am interested in, and then I will do some further investigating of alternative views regarding the subject. I am not politically savvy, but I do tend to relate and trust the writings of people like Caitlin Johnstone and this person ...

… Human beings naturally trust authority, starting with the natural respect—even awe and gratitude—that children have for parents and other adults. In a healthy society, people gain authority because they have earned respect. When respect withers and fear replaces it, the first question to ask is whether there was a betrayal of trust.

The cost of a higher education required for most high-paying jobs is 17 times that of what our parents paid. The typical homebuyer is nearly twice as old now as they were in 1981. When adjusted for inflation, our parents would have paid 1/10th of what we would now to buy a home. Rental prices are rising at four times the speed of inflation.

Its time for a new approach. And that's not the same ancient old politicians who have sold us all out again and again. No its not. When we retire our social security checks will be a fraction of the minimum wage. The snowball rolling down the mountain to flatten us continues to grow wider and faster.

We need a way out. We need a way up. And no, its not the pie in the sky of cryptocurrency. Or the big Ponzi scheme.

if it starts its going to be really scary. We should have put much more focus on nuclear non-proliferation and first, eradicating extreme poverty globally, without destroying the world's middle class. (Their current plan) People dont realize that the rich sees maximum wealth extraction which depends on taking everything from large groups of people like colonialism. Read up a bit on that. Soon, we'll be treated like occupied nations ourselves. Thats whats being cooked up by TPTB. We're not consenting to it, we're being totally fooled and lied to by it.

They wont ever pay the powerless a decent wage. Thats their income stream, they dont consider themselves really rich unless many others are really poor. So it may be hopeless to expect anything of them except more repressive measures if they are pushed to be what they have been claiming to be it is very unlikely to happen. In fact trade agreements forbid such largesse. They are kicking away the ladders up, outsourcing jobs in large numbers, phasing out things like public higher education. The future will be one of hereditary poverty and penury and peoples lives being destroyed "for want of a nail" That's what its like to be poor in an occupied nation. Babies die because people cabnt afford to go to the doctor for a $5 medication. There wont be any cash so people can collect money to bring to the hospital when people go on the so called "death trip" begging for hospitals to save the life of a dying member. Digital debt will leave people without money of any kind. Unable to buy anything until they pay off the banks and digital loan sharks.

Where is there any accountability of politicians for their actions?
