  1. “China” doesn’t exist in a vacuum. The Han Chinese are the problem. They have believed throughout recorded history, without evidence, that they are a master race fated to rule the world, the Middle Kingdom to which all other nations must submit or be destroyed and replaced with Chinese, their folkways surviving only as parodies of folk dances fir the amusement of the Emperor.

    And they act on that belief.

    Baldly put, they are the Jews our masters have been raving about since Hellenistic times.

    Needless to say, it was the Han Chinese who greatly contributed to bringing down Rome by trading the gold and silver the emperor needed to pay his armies with Oriental luxuries. The Jews just got the blame.

    Of course, anti-Semitism was always mostly projection for the avarice, treachery and perversion of our own master class. Faced with the monsters they used to scare children into bed, they welcome the Han with open arms. When the Han take over the world, they think, they’ll no longer have to hear a word about a God that isn’t money.

    (China will never become Christian, and its experiments with heretical Christian cults have been, to put it mildly, disastrous failures. Go read up on the Taiping Rebellion, often interpreted as a dry run for the Cultural Revolution, itself inspired by the heresy we call Marxism.)

    1. Before Chicom, the Han Chinese has never exerted influence and control over any country that doesn’t border on China. Contrast this with your beloved Muscovite Russia, which extends its empire all the way to the Pacific. Not to speak of Communist Soviet Union, with the entire Eastern Europe subjugated behind the Iron Curtain. (I was in Talinn, and a native told me rather vehemently that Estonia has NOTHING in common with Russia. NOTHING. Poles, Czechs, Slovaks, Hungarians all told me independently that the ugliest buildings were erected by Russia. Believe me, there is much more there than just aesthetics.) Or contrast it with the countries in Western Europe, which established colonies all over the world. That is true even for tiny countries like Belgium and Portugal, which never had any influence on European history itself. On the other hand, when Admiral Cheng Ho’s fleet sailed as far as East Africa in the early 15th century, (when the Mongols still ruled Russia) it was the greatest armada in the world, and China was at the zenith of its powers. But there was never any thought of colonization and conquest, only exploration.
      The Asians who subjugated the Russian nobility for almost two and a half centuries, and probably caused a lot of your enmity, were not Han Chinese, but Mongolian. For eighty years, they also ruled China as a foreign power, with an iron fist. Anyway, you are stupid to say that the problem with China is the Han. That is more nonsensical than saying the trouble with England is the Anglo Saxon. Over 90% of Chinese (probably much higher, I’m being conservative in my estimate) is Han. The other ethnic groups mostly live on the fringe of China. The history of China is basically the history of Han people. Just like the history of Russia is basically the history of Muscovite.
      I have the Chicom with every cell of my being. It is evil beyond imagination. But that does not give you leave to criticize the Chinese people “throughout recorded history.” You are a damned racist, and slither out from beneath the rocks every chance you are given to vent your prejudice. Not only against the present regime, but against all Chinese “throughout recorded history.” Believe me, the history of Russia is much less defensible. And the history of Russian aggression did not start with the Soviet Union. How do you think Russia acquired all the Asian republics? The Soviet Union was as repressive, more imperialistic, and taught the Chicom all they know. With such a glass house, you really should not be throwing rocks.
      Unlike you, I do not attack the Russian culture as meaningless, even though it is derivative. I love Russian literature, especially Dostoevsky. I love Russian classical music, especially Mussorgsky. But they flourished in the nineteenth century, very late in European history, and owe more to Western culture than their Russian roots. And there is a soft spot in my heart for Jews. After all, I was on the executive board of Hillel when I was a graduate student. So you won’t be able to goad me into attacking the Jews.

      2. Racist?

        Get a new insult, for heaven’s sake.

        And if you really don’t think your people are into colonization, Hongcouver’s whites would like a word with you.

        1. Calling you a racist is not an insult, it is a statement of fact. Your immediate previous post made it eminently clear.
          And you have a bad problem with reading comprehension. What were the first two words of my post?
          “Before Chicom.” Anyway, you give a poor example of colonization. The Chicom has a lot of examples of foreign influence and control all over the world. But Vancouver isn’t one of them. Whatever happened in Vancouver, was done by the Canadians. They courted foreign investment. Complicit though they may be, as far as I know, the Vancouver, BC, and Federation governments are still run by the Canadians.
          Further example of your bad problem with reading comprehension, I made it eminently clear the Chicom are NOT “my people.”

  2. When forced to negotiate with a party that never acts in good faith, it’s useless to expect they will ever do so. In these cases do what they are trying to stop us from doing.

    Send Meng on the next flight to New York.

    2. Ridiculously harsh. Here … in the words of the Big Tech apologists on this site … “go start your own blog, if you don’t like the videos”. I have been critical of a certain face (Tim Pool) whose long droning videos bore me to tears … but I would never tell Kate what to do, or how to do it. This is her game, and she can run it as she sees fit. I appreciate the fact that she’s never made my comments “disappear” … even when I’m giving her a little stick about Tim Pool.

      I actually enjoyed this Trailer and it piqued my interest in the Red Claw film … which I had heard/read about only superficially. Sundance at CTH is famous for citing China’s two masks … the happy-cuddly Panda face, and the fearsome-no-nonsense Dragon face. China’s culture is two-faced and self-serving … best not to fall in love with the cuddly Panda … lest you suddenly look down to see yourself dis em-bowled by the dragons claws.

    3. It would be more polite, as a guest, not to be giving orders to the moderators. But as an avowed Communist, your feelings are probably hurt by hearing the truth. Buh-Bye.

  5. I’m registered with Leger as someone who will answer polls. I had one before the election that started by mentioning some facts about Canadian trade with the US and asking whether we should liberalize our trade, and then it eventually ended up asking questions about Meng Wanzhou’s arrest and whether it was for political, economic, or legal reasons.

    They never say who sponsors the poll, but this was blatantly the government of China checking on how their propaganda is working. The other questions made it plain that they’re trying to leverage Canada to assist China in getting trade opened with the US again.

    And the faces I recognize in this trailer make it plain to me that it will be a hard-socialist propaganda piece with to relation to the real world. I predict that all of the villains will be white Americans.

    1. Huh? Considering that it’s a film by Steve Bannon, it’s highly unlikely that it will be a “a hard-socialist propaganda piece with to relation to the real world.”

  6. When this blog begins to generate revenue that approximates even a minimum wage, part-time gig at Walmart, that’s when I’ll worry about my content style and quality. As it stands, the overwhelming majority of the hours devoted to keeping this place going 24/7 are a pure donation of my time and that of our guest bloggers.

    That SDA provides me little significant income is my problem, and the fact that I don’t actively pursue it is my choice — but that certain SDA consumers seem to believe that they’re entitled to come here and find free original content delivered in the form they prefer, is quite another matter.

    Please, escort yourselves out.

    2. Thanks, Kate, for the blog; and your hard work — and graciousness in how you run it.

      I lurk here every day but rarely comment. It’s part of my daily, evening Kindle reading to keep informed (and entertained). I’m an American who lived in Ontario for many years, and worked for there additional years. I now live in the Midwest.

      I’ve not contributed financially previously but it occurs to me it’s about time I do. Will do so immediately.

      Heh, enough said. Thanks, Kate.

    4. Kate…the check is in the mail:-)))Plus I sent you an email, as I was going to pay on line, but got thwarted

  7. Thank you Kate for all you do. I share much of what you post here trying to drive people to your site. Many now follow it too.
    The site gives me a chance to vent once in a while and provides me with a much more reliable source for the things that are of importance today. Unlike the “fake” news mental mind molesters.

  8. I don’t expect people to donate, it’s why I don’t run pledge drives. Frankly, I prefer to be free of financial obligation because I do travel regularly without the time or connectivity required to attend to the blog. And for those of you who do support us, I thank you again. You’ve been paying the freight for the other 95% who don’t, and it’s appreciated.

    1. Many, many thanks Kate. As a dog trainer, you have more appreciation than most of us how to stop a newcomer from peeing on the rug.

      Newcomers should recognize that they are viewed as puppies: you have potential, but whether you can learn can earn you a place in the warm or get your butt punted outside.

      Kate is far more tolerant of other views than I think I’d be… for which I thank her. I knew that there were lots of views out there, but I didn’t have a good appreciation of how many flavors of conservative or libertarian there are. Why, it’s almost like we don’t all think alike (don’t tell the race baiters). A chance for all of us different thinkers to discuss in (mostly) polite terms is a rarity. For which, once again, I thank Kate.

      It’s your house, your rules. Guard your carpets from the incontinent and easily excited, and let us know when we’re yelping too loudly.

  9. Names have been changed to protect the innocent or guilty depending on the day of the week. Meanwhile we sold them the rope.

    In 2010-2011, Canadian taxpayers contributed close to $30-million to China.
    “We look forward to continuing to build a partnership with China that advances our common interests, Canadian values and the friendship between the peoples of our two countries.” CIDA Minister Julian Fantino

    Isn’t it a little late in the game to arrest a Chinese tech firm executive for whatever reason after we transferred technology (some knowingly unwillingly) and manufacturing to the Chicoms enabling them to build up their military?

    And NO, the Chicoms are not playing nice in the Pacific with their new military muscle.

  11. LOL looks like Steve Bannon is pulling all the stops in his fight for relevancy. This will fade from view like all awkward neo-right wing agitprop.

  12. The basic dictatorship that canaduh admires so much.

    Lay down with dogs and you’ll get fleas.

  13. L-The film is to show, in part, how compromised Canada is regarding Red Chinese influence in the Canadian economy and body politic.

    No one reacted in the MSM, when P.M. Trudeau announced no decision about Hua-Wei 5G was to be announced until after the election. No follow-up questions, no analysis of what is at stake, no rival party raised it either, an imaginary climate crisis is safer political ground.

    As for Kate’s blog, visiting here is as therapeutic as watching a Prof. Jordan Peterson lecture.
    Sometimes, it reminds me of the stress relief from reducing the varmint population in a pasture to protect the cattle and horses.

    1. First, Thank you Kate and your Co-bloggers for the wonderful site and the insights into Canada and Western Canada that you provide this American.

      ——-

      I think President Trump started out by only, just simply wanting to reform Chinese American trade. He just wanted to have the Chinese live up to the promises they made to reform trade when we let them into the WTO twenty years ago. As the Chinese keep messing around, backtracking, and breaking promises in their negotiations with the US, I think he may finally decide to do what he can to bring down or bust up China. Especially now that we see how fragile its control over Hong Kong and even the Muslim provinces are. If they go full Chinese Communist Liberation Army Reeducation on Hong Kong, they themselves will do much of the work for Trump (and for civilization). They will destroy the image of a safe and friendly China business partner all by themselves.
