The Winter Olympics starts today. In Beijing.
Try not to throw up in your mouth.
During the Cold War, the Olympics was problematic, but at least the competition stood for something bigger – a way for Russia and the United States to show their prowess without getting anyone killed.
In the generation since, the Games has metastasized into something far worse: an overproduced, synthetic, corrupt, crazily expensive celebration of an entirely hollow globalism, paid for by corporate sponsors shilling their brands.
No wonder China loves it. Ahh, China. I am going to have more to write about China in the coming weeks and months, but let’s just say for now that SARS-Cov-2 has both exposed and amplified certain… unpleasant… facts about it.
Of course, the American media frosts this (bat) guano Olympic cake with a layer of woke falseness.(True story: the preferred new phrase in Hollywood is “black joy,” which apparently means that if the story includes African-Americans – and it better! – it should be positive, redemptive, or positively redemptive. Guess The Wire is out.)
These Xi-lympix are to actual sports as an honest investigation of the lab leak theory is to actual science. But with more diaper ads.
And so no one should be surprised that the ratings are likely to be low. How low? Brian Stelter low? Okay, that’s impossible. But at this point NBC would probably be happy if the ratings got close to an average WWE episode.
You can lie to people forever, but eventually they’re just going to turn you off. That’s still allowed. For now.

” . . . the Games has metastasized into something far worse . . .”
The games died when they banned Eddie the Eagle.
It is best for anyone believing in integrity that the Olympics die. They are adults playing childrens games funded by poor taxpayers who cannot afford the wealth being taken from them. Then these athletes go hobnob with the rich and lecture the people who funded their participation on their shortcomings. Like so much else in this world olympic athletes are vile human beings
It’s all rigged, anyway….
Disgust as everything goes China’s way amid Olympic ‘cheating’ accusations
A rival country has taken official action over what it claims is an “unfair” pro-China bias infiltrating the Winter Olympics in Beijing…
South Korean media has also lashed out. The New York Times reports Korean broadcaster SBS aired a segment titled “Top 10 worst moments of cheating by China” and a newspaper in Seoul published an article where the headline read: “Just let China take all the medals.”

“the Games has metastasized into something far worse”
I believe the author mean “the Game have metastasized”
Also, you make Mitt Romney tear up when you express that opinion.
Haven’t watched the Olympics since Franz Klammer. That should date me.
That told me that This has a big crush on you and wants to date you.
Greek Republic?
LOL – and it took me a few seconds to get that one.
Nope, I will not watch or even feign any interest in Olympics in China. They will get the same interest as American Football – none.
Is this his purpose? To attract “right wing” (normal people) followers and then hit them with warmongering propaganda? The only reason the US has any problem with China is because the US government is completely corrupt and made all of those problems happen for the benefit of the bankers and to the detriment of the American People (such of them as still remain as a minority in the USA thanks to the mass invasion brought to you by the Federal Reserve).
But it’s only bad if they are held in China!
Oh, sorry, pro-globalist China that is.
My sides, my sides!!
Do not participate in any of it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eGDPZxFoTaU&t=20s
The answer is simple. CCP have developed a bioweapon that Dr. Robert Malone (inventor of mRNA technology) said is a hemorrhagic fever; Marburg disease, probably now being field-tested on Chinese citizens. The Olympic Games attendees will be exposed to this new genocidal pandemic and spread it around the globe, just as the World Economic Forum forecast.
