In the 20th Century it was the Russians who held the puppet strings of the American left. Franklin Roosevelt’s administration was full of Russian spies, as was Hollywood and the 1960’s radical movements. But the Russians were always a Third World economy that happened to have nuclear weapons. Their methods emphasized the appeal and inevitability of a Marxist utopia and when that failed, good old-fashioned tools like sex and blackmail. Today the Russian kleptocracy is a distant, almost invisible, also-ran to their hammer and sickle franchise to the east. China employs the same by-any-means-necessary methods, but it is backed by an economy and wealth that gives them real power. They can buy what they want, whether industries, technology, or people and project their influence around the world.
The Railer heard a recent radio interview with Director of National Intelligence (DNI), John Ratcliffe, that crystalized a thousand seemingly random threads. The DNI says that China is systematically looting the West, a strategy he calls rob, replicate, and replace. They’re doing this with the full cooperation of Western progressives, buying them off one by one. DNI Ratcliffe also said that they have a laser focus on coopting our leadership; government officials at every level, Silicon Valley tech titans, and social influencers in news, sports, and entertainment. Let’s consider a few recent examples.
The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has been buying Democrats for decades. Then President Bill Clinton and Loral CEO, Bernie Schwartz, sold sensitive missile guidance technology to China in return for illegal campaign funds, cash directly tied to the Chinese military. Amazingly, Wikipedia hasn’t scrubbed this embarrassing truth bomb, known at the time as “Chinagate.”
China bought the Bidens, not just DimJoe, but the entire Biden Clan. Hunter and his VP father shared an Air Force II ride to China in 2013 and shazam, shazam, 10 days later Hunter had a $1.5 billion China investment deal. Hunter had no investment experience, but his father was the Vice President. What was Hunter selling? You. In 2017, Hunter, the coke/stripper addict and business genius, arranges another China deal, this time with CEFC, a Shanghai energy conglomerate. Leaks show the deal reserved “10% for the big guy,” the thinly veiled codename for DimJoe. That slice was rumored to be worth $10M. We know that unequivocally from the former CEO of the sham, Tony Bobulinski.
After telling us for years that “there’s nothing here to see,” the Bidens just released a terse statement that since 2018 Hunter has been under investigation for tax evasion. Sound familiar? That’s how the Feds finally nailed Al Capone. Tax law is the Fed’s investigative weapon to “follow the money.” Those rumors about Biden corruption that the fake news media told us was fake news? They were all true and DimJoe lied, lied, lied. The FBI also has Hunter’s laptop, that same one that every China owned Democrat and fake news airhead said was just “Russian disinformation.” Is it still “Russian disinformation” now that the Bidens grudgingly fess up?
We know that Traitor Joe’s CCP sympathies go way back.
In 2011, Traitor Joe said:
As a young member of a Foreign Relations Committee, I wrote and I said and I believed then what I believe now: That a rising China is a positive, positive development, not only for China but for America and the world writ large.
It has certainly been positive for the Biden gang. But from the rest of us come two words: Covid and jobs. China laid waste to our manufacturing jobs and now our broad economy, and it started long before Covid. Former National Security Agency head Keith Alexander described Beijing’s practices as “the greatest transfer of wealth in history.” Traitor Joe’s mercenary allegiance lies with the Chinese, not his fellow Americans. Imagine this hypothetical conversation.
Komrade Joe, this is Xi, we’re not happy with that legislation on your desk, it hurts our interests. If you sign it, there will be grave consequences. Hunter has a lot of skeletons in his closet that involve you. We’d hate to see those stories become public…
For all we know, that conversation has already happened.
Turning to California, our “Lady Di,” Senator Dianne Fineswine, while Chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee employed a Chinese spy for 20 years. Shock, shock! When discovered and outed by the FBI he was allowed to retire (?!). He’s probably collecting a federal pension, not serving in a federal penitentiary.
And this month we learned that Fang Fang was doing bang-bang with California Democrat Eric Swalwell. He’s a member of the House Intelligence Committee, and a short-lived D-Presidential candidate. In 2015 the FBI revealed (to Democrat House Leaders, not the public, not Republicans, remember this was crooked Comey’s FBI) that Fang Fang, the pretty, young, target of his penetration, was a spy. Swalwell, we’ll call him “Erik the Red,” of course dropped her the ‘411 and she vanished. But she had already penetrated his office, placing “interns” (aka spies) on his staff – not that staff, his “staff.” Fang Fang now gone-gone but Erik the Red’s father was still “liking” her pics on Facebook.
She also did bang-bang with several other Democrat pols, including at least a couple Democrat mayors (we can assume it wasn’t Mayor Pete, because… he’s married). How did she pull them off? Utter a few socialist platitudes, join some liberal organizations, and most importantly, raise money for Swalwell, Tulsi Gabbard, Judy Chu, Mike Honda, and other prominent Democrats. The Railer can only wonder how much of that money came from China. Because CCP propaganda is nearly indistinguishable from what you might hear from Komrades Bernie or Ocasio-Cortes, there was no acting required from Miss Fang Fang. She fit right in.
So is Erik the Red dreaming of Fang Fang from Sing Sing? Nope, he’s still in Washington, still on the Intel Committee, and his fellow Dems let him run for President. Were Erik a Republican, he would have been tarred, feathered, and put on the first outbound train by his own party. Everything you need to know about Democrat mores is captured in the fact that within his Party, Erik the Red still stands tall.
Besides Democrats on Intelligence Committees and those living at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, who else are the Chinese coopting?
Pope Francis’ Catholic Church sold their soul to the CCP in exchange for the illusion of autonomy. The CCP threatened to fill the Church’s China ranks with communist party loyalists, a move right out of the Stalin playbook. But moral high ground isn’t found at the Vatican these days, so the Bolivarian Argentine Pope turns one blind eye to pedophilia and the other to all manner of human rights violations and ethnic oppression by his fellow Asian travelers. Trump continuing the Obama border policies? The pope decries that as a “xenophobic and Islamophic vision…” Human rights violated from Hong Kong to Xinjiang? Crickets.
Similarly, the NBA folded like a lawn chair when Houston GM Daryl Morey tweeted mild, almost cryptic, support for Hong Kong freedom protesters. Meanwhile, the NBA ran youth basketball programs in the shadow of high walled Uighur concentration camps. No worry though, basketball and BLM hero Lebron James sided forcefully with the Chinese, saying that the GM was “misinformed on China.” The Uighurs only wish they had to contend with the level of “oppression” lamented by BLM. Black lives matter, billions of dollars matter, but Uighurs forced from their homes, forced to denounce their religion, forced sterilizations, forced to erase every aspect of their culture and traditions … , not so much. Lebron, you’re a half billionaire – how much is enough?
Walt Disney turned mouse cartoons and family friendly entertainment into an entertainment empire. Disney’s current CEO, Democrat Globalist Bob Iger, is the CCP’s Elie Reifenstahl, a bootlicker worth $700M who puts dollars above humanity. Tucker Carlson said this during his 12/16/2020 monologue.
According to The New York Times, Iger met personally with China’s propaganda minister in 2010 and promised that he would use Disney’s global platform to “introduce more about China to the world.” In other words, Disney promised to spread Chinese government propaganda, and that’s what they did.
Iger deleted mentions of Tibet and rewrote stories and characters, all to either please or not offend the CCP. When you consume a Disney product, know that it was blessed by CCP censors and parrots China dictated narratives. Rumors say Traitor Joe is considering Iger for Ambassador to China. Imagine that, an all China team. You pay these two, but China owns them.
While we’re in Burbank, is the rest of Hollywood crawling with Chinese spies? Perhaps not, because their CCP masters don’t need to leave China. They can call the shots from the comfort of their Beijing offices. “We don’t like that movie you’re making, and it’d be a shame if your next blockbuster were not shown here. We don’t like the images of Hong Kong protests on cable news, is there some kind of misunderstanding here?”
U.S. media companies are enormous aggregations of news, entertainment, and communication. Consider AT&T. Remember when their telephone monopoly was a threat? That sounds positively quaint today. Now AT&T can listen to your cell phone in North and South America, know where you are, what you buy, what you watch on TV, what websites you visit. China dictates which race riling, anti-Western caricatures are made at Warner Brothers, which shows you see on HBO Max, and that you see only China friendly news and perspectives on CNN. The Chinese call the shots, or block the shots, in every arena because there’s too much money at stake. The Chinese are too big to offend. They exercise veto power over our media giants as they see fit. Our fake news giants bathe us in CCP propaganda, and we don’t even realize it.
Then there’s the exploitation of our Universities, with a special focus on STEM. The Railer was astounded during a pre-Covid visit to his Alma Mater. There are more than 6,000 Asians at the “University of China at Illinois,” over 5,000 are Chinese. The same story plays out across the country. Bankrupt states like Illinois and New York are only too happy to have students, even those who cheat to gain entry, who pay full out-of-state tuition rates. They do this to the exclusion of their own native born. But at USF, Harvard, Cambridge, UCLA, …, literally coast-to-coast, there’s a deliberate and successful effort to subvert and harvest professors and the fruits of their research. They target important research already funded by our tax dollars.
At Tampa’s Moffitt Cancer Center, the CEO and four researchers resigned when their double dipping was exposed. The Florida House Speaker, Republican Chris Sprowls, is drafting a law to clamp down on this shameful theft of public property. Other states should follow. The Chinese spread around a few million to secure billions worth of engineering and medical technology. During the Cold War the Russians had boiler rooms full of people translating western research papers. The Chinese though buy the technology for pennies on the dollar before it is even published. Our socialist academies are pitifully easy pickings because Democrat corruption and ever-growing welfare demands leave only scraps for higher education. Given the reality of the China threat and their purchase of the American left, it is Orwellian that we’ve endured 4 years of “Russia, Russia, Russia” collusion slanders aimed at Republicans. We now know, with overwhelming evidence, it was a malicious fabrication by Clinton and Obama apparatchiks, by people and a party whose sympathies and corruption once tied to Russia, and now to China. If you wonder why there’s Trumpism, some of the explanation is that swamp collusion with hegemonic communists is both dangerous and deeply offensive to patriotic Americans. Too bad that our leftists don’t see it the same way.
