The British foreign minister, Lord Halifax, and the Prime Minister, Neville Chamberlain, tried to appease Hitler, hoping that peace could be maintained in Europe. But of course, Hitler and the Nazis were not interested in peace. To understand how British society was infiltrated during the last world war, see the fantastic ITV program called \u201cFoyle\u2019s War,\u201d which shows this through the eyes of a British detective in a small town on the southern coast of England.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During the run-up to World War 2, the National Socialist German Workers Party competed with Antifascistische Aktion, the German Communist Party. Antifascistische Action, now ANTIFA, was founded in 1920. (The flag of both groups are almost identical.) Its goal was to overthrow the Weimar Republic in Germany. The Nazis are identified as far-right fascists, but they were actually communists. Historians will disagree, but in fact there is no difference whatsoever between fascists and communists. \u201cFar-left\u201d and \u201cfar-right\u201d is a false dichotomy. Both are totalitarian and atheistic and use gulags, concentration camps, secret police,&nbsp; intimidation, and violence to maintain control of the population.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As I remarked in an earlier post, the Nazis instituted a Defund the Police movement. Hermann Goring replaced trained police officers in German cities with Nazi thugs known as brownshirts, who harassed and intimidated the population during Hitler\u2019s rise to power. Street assaults during this time in Germany were common. In the USSR, communist thugs in Stalin\u2019s People&#8217;s Commissariat for Internal Affairs, or NKVD, used the same tactics of violence and intimidation to cow the populace. Modernly, the CCP\u2019s Ministry Of State Security \u2013 the CCP\u2019s intelligence, security and secret police agency in China \u2013 does the same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The three most influential movements of the Dark Army on earth \u2013 in Germany, Russia, and China \u2013 have all been totalitarian dictatorships ruled by criminal gangsters who deny basic human rights and spirituality and religion of any kind. Call these thugs whatever you want \u2013 fascists or communists \u2013 it\u2019s UTTERLY IRRELEVANT and is a sterile academic debate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The true dichotomy is tyranny vs freedom, atheism and materialism vs spirituality and the recognition of the human connection to God, the rule of law vs anarchy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Communists cannot survive without gulags and concentration camps, and \u201cstraw men\u201d to hate. The National Socialist German Workers Party chose the Jews to scapegoat, and committed genocide on the Jewish people. Solzhenitsyn estimated that the communists killed between 30 and 40 million Russians. In China, the CCP routinely sends Uighurs, Falun Gong, and other political and religious dissidents into \u201creeducation camps\u201d (concentration camps). Here in the US, under the name of \u201canti-fascism,\u201d the tools of fascism are applied to \u201cfascists\u201d and \u201cracists\u201d who don\u2019t adhere to the party line. \u201cFascists,\u201d apparently, are people who disagree with the goals of ANTIFA and their political supporters (type antifa.com into your browser).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On October 9, an emotionally disturbed Keith Olbermann called for the prosecution and removal from society of those he disagrees with. This is eerily (and frighteningly) similar to the language Adolf Hitler used against the Jews, just before he made them wear yellow armbands and placed them in concentration camps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-twitter wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps:\/\/twitter.com\/DailyCaller\/status\/1314660689005477894\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">History repeats itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We know that many of the rioters in our cities are groups who don\u2019t live in those cities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some people don\u2019t believe that riots have even occurred, because the raw footage isn\u2019t seen on the mainstream news networks. However, you can see raw footage of the riots in Wauwatosa (just one of many cities that have experienced riots) here: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.citizenfreepress.com\/breaking\/mayhem-in-wauwatosa-antifa-blm-storms-the-suburbs\/\">https:\/\/www.citizenfreepress.com\/breaking\/mayhem-in-wauwatosa-antifa-blm-storms-the-suburbs\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These are tame compared to what has happened in Portland, Seattle, and Minneapolis. (Raw footage is taken by people with their phones who go out on the streets and film live.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If many of the rioters are not residents, who is organizing and paying them to loot and burn?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>Most of the riots that racked the United States within the last few months were organized by two socialist organizations which have close ties with the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), said Trevor Loudon, author, and filmmaker, who has been researching radical and terrorist groups and their covert influence on mainstream politics for more than 30 years.<\/p><p>The Freedom Road Socialist Organization (FRSO) based out of Minneapolis, an openly pro-CCP organization, and Bay Area-based Liberation Road, with very close ties to the Chinese consulate there and the Chinese Progressive Association (CPA), are behind the recent riots, Loudon said in a recent interview on Epoch Times\u2019 Crossroads program.\u201d<\/p><cite>https:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/china-ties-to-us-riots-exposed-by-trevor-loudon-2_3531626.html<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Epoch Times is a newspaper run by mainland Chinese expatriates who have contacts on the mainland within the CCP and the Chinese government. Their focus is on exposing the activities of the communist party in China. The greatest victims of communism \u2013 as in Germany and in the old USSR \u2013 are the people. The CCP is an existential threat to freedom loving people everywhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Let\u2019s take a very limited look at how the CCP has infiltrated American society.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">1) The Thousand Talents program.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>The Thousand Talents Plan is a Chinese government program to attract scientists and engineers from overseas. Since the plan began in 2008, it has recruited thousands of researchers from countries including the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, Singapore, Canada, Japan, France and Australia. While many countries try to lure top international research talent, the US, Canada and others have raised concerns that the Thousand Talents Plan may facilitate espionage and theft of intellectual property.<\/p><p>Dozens of Australian and US employees of universities and government are believed to have participated in the plan without having declared their involvement. In May, ASIO issued all Australian universities a warning about Chinese government recruitment activities.<\/p><p>On top of intellectual property issues, there are serious human rights concerns. Technologies transferred to China under the program have been used in the oppression of Uyghurs in Xinjiang and in society-wide facial recognition and other forms of surveillance.<\/p><p>The Chinese government has established more than 600 recruitment stations globally. This includes 146 in the US, 57 each in Germany and Australia, and more than 40 each in the UK, Canada, Japan and France.\u201d<\/p><cite>https:\/\/theconversation.com\/the-thousand-talents-plan-is-part-of-chinas-long-quest-to-become-the-global-scientific-leader-145100<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">2) The Confucius Institutes, the CCP\u2019s effort to propagandize education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>Since 2004, around 550 Confucius Institutes have opened worldwide, with close to 100 in the United States and 29 in the United Kingdom. In recent years, however, the enthusiasm with which university leaders around the world have embraced the institutes has soured. Increasing numbers of them have been shut. That\u2019s partially thanks to the geopolitical shift against an increasingly autocratic Chinese Communist Party (CCP) under Xi Jinping\u2019s leadership and partially due to the institutes themselves being no more immune to the CCP\u2019s waves of political repression than any other Chinese state institute\u2014even abroad.\u201d<\/p><cite>Andreas Fulda, \u201cChinese Propaganda Has No Place on Campus,\u201d <em>Foreign Policy, <\/em>Oct 15, 2019<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">(3) The K-12 institutes, where the CCP, in cooperation with the College Board (which issues the SAT and Advanced Placement tests), gave the Chinese Communist Party unprecedented access to America\u2019s K-12 education programs in exchange for funding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>The not-for-profit College Board gave the Chinese Communist Party unprecedented access to America\u2019s K-12 education programs in exchange for funding, according to a new report from the National Association of Scholars.

But the West has no access to China. Western journalists have been kicked out of the country by the CCP, which does not tolerate openness and transparency. Amazingly, the CCP has STILL not allowed the WHO to examine the P4 biolab in Wuhan, to determine how best to deal with the coronavirus! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Despite rampant political hatred, there is now bi-partisan support to protect our institutions from CCP influence. In May, for example, Congress overwhelmingly passed a bill condemning China for human rights abuses against their Uighur minority. See the New York Times,  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2020\/05\/27\/us\/politics\/house-uighurs-china-sanctions.html\">https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2020\/05\/27\/us\/politics\/house-uighurs-china-sanctions.html<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Eighty years ago, the Nazis sent operatives to every sector of British society, including the military, government, education, and industry. The Foyle\u2019s War program series illustrates this in an educational but gripping way. Today, the US is in the same position as England back then, with a similar, but much more powerful opponent. The CCP has operatives in every sector of U.S. society, just as the Nazis did.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">History repeats itself over and over again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The battle of dark and light continues on planet earth. But the stakes are much higher now, for humanity is connected in a global economy where much of the world\u2019s manufacturing is centered in China, and run by the CCP. The globalist\/corporatist business model, built up over the past 30 years, keeps wages very low in China in order to boost corporate profits. Trans-national groups like NAFTA and the TPP were negotiated on this business model, which exports low wages all over the world. Under the globalist business model, thousands of high-wage American factory jobs were sent overseas (for profit), turning the once robust American manufacturing economy into a service economy. The vast majority of Americans now live paycheck to paycheck, courtesy of American politicians who are in bed with the CCP. Research this for yourself. The middle class in this country is disappearing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The CCP is the 21st century equivalent of the Nazis in the 20th. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A science fiction writer once said, \u201cThe first step in handling anything is gaining the ability to face it.\u201d &nbsp;The question is, will America wake up in time to save itself from an existential threat posed by the CCP? The answer is up to us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For those who want to delve deeply into the globalist\/corporatist\/elites and how they use their public offices for private gain, read this meticulously researched and sourced report from Christopher Balding, Fulbright University, Vietnam. Prof. Balding says about this report:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>First, I did not write the report and I am not responsible for the report.&nbsp;<strong>I have gone over the report with a fine tooth comb and can find nothing factually wrong with the report.

I have serious policy differences with President Trump. I am pro-immigration. I would like to see more free trade efforts to shift trade away from China and into partner countries from Mexico to Vietnam and India.
