QOTD – Who is Right?

Submitted by Mary Christine

Michael Yon thinks China wants to take over the world. Gonzalo Lira thinks they just want to trade with other countries and has no aims to take over the world.

Yon’s videos from the Darien Gap shows many of the so called migrants coming through it are young Chinese men who qualify as fighting age for the military. He also claims our tax $$ are supporting this effort.

Meanwhile Lira claims that China hasn’t started a war with another country in decades and has no reason to want war with any other country. We are talking sanctions against China and this will lead to war.

Question: Who is right?

2nd Question: Why on one had would we be trying to provoke China into war and at the same time allowing all the young Chinese men into the US?

Personally, while I think Lira is very knowledgeable about Ukraine and Russia I don’t think he knows jack about China.

As for why our China policy is provoking war and at the same time allowing all these Chinese men into the US, Biden has been in bed with the Chinese for years. I think he or whomever is deciding the policy wants the US to lose a war to China. I think they have an under the table deal of some sort.

Michael Yon all day long. I’ll listen to Lira as he is more clear thinking than many, but just the statement ” China hasn’t started a war in decades ” shows some lack of awareness how China thinks.

We’re allowing all the military age Chinese in now just like we’ve allowed military age Hispanics and Arabs in for years. Our leaders have a death wish, or at least a wish for our death as long as they get to rule over the rubble.

The new radiator on my old truck has a label on it that says China. I bought another tea ball and guess what , China.

Maybe Rick Perry has some opinion since he and his Texas cronies at the time brought Chinese multinational Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. to Plano , Tx. And then it was not long after Huawei was trying for the art of the deal for a contract maintaining US government networks. Come on! Things I’ve not forgotten nor will until I croak. Sold down the river is what I use to say.

BTW if I’m not mistaken , Texas’ current governor was AG back then. Everybody trusts him.

Your analysis of Lira is right on. He knows a lot about the Ukraine and shit of China. Yon was also on Brighteon with Mike Adams. The footage shows what’s really happening. We are being invaded with our own tax dollars. The woman are all raped, but that’s OK as they are given kits so they will not get pregnant.

I have Viking heritage and they knew a thing or two….”The purpose of the Vikings’ violence was to acquire wealth, which fed into the political economy of northern Europe, notably in the form of gift-giving. Viking warriors were motivated by a warrior ideology of violence that praised bravery, toughness, and loyalty.”

I’ve also thought the same thing about hypercoagulability. Which for me seems rather responsive to garlic (I cap my own from powder. I have never found anything store bought to work, which is a little interesting). Truthfully, while I still consider myself a follower of Christ, I have more and more an affinity for the Norse.
As an interesting pagan told me one time in a voice that shook his house, “Odin! A white man’s god!”

First, I really don’t know Lira. I’ve read very little of his stuff. So, his opinion means little to me. Additionally, from what I can glean, he is not out there seeing things first hand, especially when it comes to China and anything other than Ukraine.

Now, Michael Yon I follow extensively. I support him on Locals and have been listening to what he has to say for several years now. He is a straight shooter and, with his extensive background and the fact that he is constantly traveling the world to all the hot spots, I take his word as being very truthful. He has many, many good contacts not only here in the states but, in many countries abroad too.

China is a communist country. It is not the China pre-1960’s. Communism always wants to expand, and conquer. It is an evil regime and evil has no bounds. It continues to expand its influences until it is either boxed in or destroyed. I believe we are being set up by traitors in charge. I’ve seen the first hand videos of the lines of young, military aged Chinese in Panama. I’ve seen the videos of the busses loaded with them.

Simply put; I put a lot of credence in what Yon has to say about all this. He has great bona fides.

Michael Yon knows what’s happening. Ukraine, like China, is a captured Khazarian society being used as a scapegoat to foment a war that will destroy the U.S. Biden is a traitorous pedophile being blackmailed to destroy our culture and permit the CCP to take possession of the U.S. mainland. While the Chinese appear controlled and docile on the world stage I’m pretty sure they are ruthless and wouldn’t hesitate to kill every man, woman and child in North America in order to fulfill their plans.

From my own Chinese contacts, Mary – they are preparing for war but anticipating trading in peace. But it’s not in their remit to determine the outcome, it is in the hands of the ‘Empire of Lies’ with their dedication to FULL SPECTRUM DOMINANCE. What chance do they have when madmen are in charge of the global dollar – for the moment…

China doesn’t want to take over the world. They want to be a great civilization that dominates Asia and is globally influential.

Everybody has wanted to rule the world from the Mayans to the Dutch, they have come and gone. At one time even Portugal was the power of the time.
The Chinese can not even feed their own people, the country is one of the most polluted in the World. That is why they look West, not so much a power trip but a necessity. And they have great patience.

Not just biden but goes back to Clinton and Lincoln’s bedroom scam. Look at Senator feinstein, if you can find her, had a Chinese spy drive her around for what like thirty years.
Have you ever seen a Chinese person smile? I’ve had dealings with them mostly agriculture in nature with them being the professors or Doctors, as one can tell I like to joke around a bit, and they just stand there. They are no doubt intelligent, go about whatever they do with much energy. HSF would have a field day with these people’s physiognomy.
Also in business a hand shake means nothing to them.
Here is what PJ O’Rourke wrote about them in National Lampoon fifty years ago.

Michael Yon is -and has always been – full of shit. He is over the top pro Israel. Hugh Hewitt loves Yon – which tells you all you need to know. He has the mindset of Mike Pompeo for fuck’s sake. People in America think everybody thinks like Americans. Therefore “China wants to take over the world”. It’s confession by projection. Back in the real world, the only countries that have made a good stab at imperialism have been European countries. Now, many of those colonies benefitted to a degree. English common law is a good starting place – although not the only one – for building a civil society and rule of law. Saying China doesn’t have a history of imperial conquest doesn’t mean they’re perfect. I suppose there is a chance they would reverse their entire history and start to try to conquer distant lands, although they’re probably smart enough to see that “invade the world, invite the the world” hasn’t worked out well for Britain.

In any case, what the fuck does Yon propose? He finds one Chinese mental patient in Central America (who sounded like an American) and tries to make it look like a pattern. China has way better spies than that guy. Fang Fang was banging a democrat on the House Intelligence Committee. Diane Feinstein had one working on her staff for 20 years. Michael fucking Yon. GTFOH!

People who fall for Yon’s grift always fall for “fight them over there, so we don’t have to fight them here”. And that’s how we keep losing distant wars. I guarantee Yon thinks we should “defend Taiwan”. What an idiot.

I agree. I’m a little suspect of Lira, but Yon screams con or agenda (Adams had him on the other day and was going through the drama of concealing Yon’s identity, like no one would be able to figure out it was Yon from his voice. Why except for drama? Adams is really suspect too).
Though I do certainly think we need to stem the flow over the border. There are lots better ways to get spies into the country than such an haphazard and convoluted manner as described. Spies are not cheap, so why would you risk that way of getting them into the country and losing your asset?
It is theater like this that makes me suspect of Yon.
Of course, the whole odyssey could be just a cover story, but Yon seemed to be buying it hook line and sinker. Or was the whole thing staged? That is was the guy just an actor hired or working with Yon?

Idealogicaly communism seeks to be the solution to world governance. Assuming that the CCP are true to their communist beliefs, it follows that they seek world communism as a goal, though not necessarily with China in charge, since world communism is ultimately incompatible with the permanent existence of the nation state.

In my opinion the questions are misleading, it is not so much about what China wants, it’s about what the ideology wants. Ideology is without borders, and don’t forget that Davos man is a globalist socialist.
