China slams Hillary's regime change record after she praises HK "democracy" protests

China's largest state-run newspaper group, People's Daily, has produced a viral video slamming Hillary Clinton's disastrous record of promoting regime change abroad from Libya to Syria to Iraq.

It comes in response to a tweet this week where she expressed solidarity with the still raging Hong Kong protests, at a moment the Chinese military is staging outside the city possibly prepared to invade and put down the demonstrations. "May we all stand in solidarity with the people of Hong Kong as they speak out for democracy, freedom from repression, and a world they long to see," she wrote Tuesday.

All but four of the 30,490 emails from Hillary Clinton's unauthorized email server were forwarded to a private Google email address featuring a name similar to a Chinese company, according to documents released by a Senate committee on Aug. 15.

Virtually every email that was sent to and from the Clinton-email server was forwarded to "carterheavyindustries@gmail.com," which raised concerns that a foreign actor gained access to Clinton's emails after an intelligence community inspector general (ICIG) investigator searched Google for "Carter Heavy Industries" and came up with a result for Shandong Carter Heavy Industry Co., Ltd, according to the documents (pdf).

US House Foreign Affairs panel is threatening 'swift consequences' should China use violence in Hong Kong

Any violence used against "peaceful protesters" in Hong Kong would be a "mistake" for China and will trigger a "swift" response, a congressional foreign affairs panel has warned, insisting Beijing is responsible for the unrest.

The ranking members of the House Foreign Affairs Committee - Chairman Eliot Engel (D-NY) and Michael McCaul (R-TX) - issued the warning in a statement on Wednesday, drawing parallels with 1989 protests in Tiananmen Square that ended in bloodshed, also known as the 'June Fourth Incident'.

Comment: Perhaps Chairman Engel and Congressman McCaul should check the facts:

"We urge China to avoid making such a mistake, which would be met with universal condemnation and swift consequences," the lawmakers said.

Comment: What, when and where will be the trigger point turning the protests into a conflagration lethal enough to accuse China of persecuting their own, while the US backtracks its means and motives? Surely the protests are proceeding right on (US) schedule, their usefulness to the West: despicably invaluable.

If people could see the world with fresh eyes, as though they were viewing it for the very first time, they would suddenly find themselves smashed between two equally strong yet wildly different experiences.

On the one hand, they would experience breathless awe at the thunderous beauty of everything that exists. We tend to develop a mental habit of taking things for granted just because we have a thought story about knowing what they are and having seen them before. The labeling, dividing mind says "Oh yeah, I know what that is, that's a tree. I've seen a million of those, no big deal," and we make a habit of overlooking it. This habit combines with our fixation on looping mental chatter to pull the interest and attention out of our experience of the world which would otherwise be experienced as a nonstop eruption of staggering beauty.

On the other hand, someone seeing the world with fresh eyes would at the same time experience howling rage at all the immense evils that the mass media manipulators have convinced us to accept as normal. All the oppression, exploitation, violence, domination, ecocide and corruption which we were born into would no longer be seen as unfortunate but necessary mundane realities, and neither would all the horrible propagandists who deceived us into thinking they were.

Bolton dangles trade deal if Britain toughens line on Iran, China and anything else deemed useful!

It's more than coincidence that on the first day of US National Security Advisor John Bolton's visit to London this week, Britain announced the dispatch of another warship to the Persian Gulf.

Since Boris Johnson became British prime minister nearly three weeks ago, President Donald Trump's administration has been pushing London to take a harder foreign policy line, in particular towards Iran and China.

Ahead of Bolton's visit to London, Washington was pointedly making it clear in media reports that a future US trade deal with Britain was dependent on Johnson's government being more amenable to America's policy of pressuring Iran and China.

It won't stop there either. The implication is for an open-ended demand by Washington for British compliance on other foreign policy interests. That is, for Britain to be more compliant than it usually is.

2020 Democrats say they double down on diversity...but do they?

RT
Wed, 14 Aug 2019 20:28 UTC

Democrats vying to defeat President Donald Trump in the 2020 presidential election are insisting he's a racist and a bigot, while they represent diversity and the future of America. How is that working out for them?

There is certainly a lot of diversity among the candidates vying for the party's nomination. Senator Kamala Harris (D-California) is of Jamaican and Indian descent. South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg is in a same-sex marriage. Businessman Andrew Yang's parents were from Taiwan. Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-Hawaii) is part Samoan and a practicing Hindu.

That said, the most popular candidate in all the polls of Democrat voters is former Delaware Senator Joe Biden, who checks all the "bad" boxes on the diversity questionnaire: white, male, old (76)... Admittedly, he was also vice-president to Barack Obama, so he is presumably woke-by-proxy.

Beijing claims US is insanely, inappropriately involved in Hong Kong anti-Chinese criminal cases

China has accused the United States of collaborating with violent extremists in an effort to undermine stability in Hong Kong.

A statement released by the Office of the Commissioner of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) condemned House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and other US lawmakers for their "erroneous" remarks about the ongoing unrest in Hong Kong.

"The distortion of reality, the blind observance of double standards by American politicians is already close to hysteria. They conspired with radical criminal elements and are insanely involved in anti-Chinese criminal cases in Hong Kong."

On Wednesday, the ranking members of the House Foreign Affairs Committee issued a statement warning Beijing that any violence used against "peaceful protesters" in Hong Kong would be a "mistake" and would be met with "universal condemnation and swift consequences."

Probe exonerated pro-Trump Pentagon analyst, report never given defense team

A confidential counterintelligence investigation cleared suspended Pentagon analyst Adam S. Lovinger on allegations of leaking data to the news media, but officials never told his defense team.

The Naval Criminal Investigative Service (NCIS) examined Mr. Lovinger's use of classified computer networks. In a 2018 report, the NCIS said its review "did not reveal any potential CI [counter intelligence] concerns," according to a copy obtained by The Washington Times.

Mr. Lovinger's attorney, Sean Bigley, has now filed a complaint with the Defense Department inspector general. He accuses Pentagon officials who targeted his client of a "serious ethics violation" by withholding the exoneration.

The NCIS probe was closed September 2018, and the report signed in November. Mr. Lovinger's administrative trial began the next month.

Mr. Bigley is trying to convince the Pentagon IG that his client is a victim of whistleblower reprisal. Mr. Lovinger's employer, the Pentagon Office of Net Assessment, accused him of mishandling "sensitive" material, a charge his lawyer said essentially is made up since there is no such classification.

"This single NCIS document undercuts about 80% of the government's sham case against him," Mr. Bigley told The Times. "No wonder DoD withheld it. No leak, and he didn't have any 'sensitive' documents on his computer so he couldn't have been mishandling 'sensitive' information on his computer."

China: Instant retaliation if US proceeds with new tariffs

RT
Thu, 15 Aug 2019 12:23 UTC

Beijing has refused to sit idle if Washington hits $300 billion worth of Chinese imports with additional 10 percent levies, calling the decision a violation of agreements reached by presidents Donald Trump and Xi Jinping.

"The Chinese side will have to implement necessary counter-measures," the State Council Tariff Committee said in a short statement on Thursday. The body did not elaborate on what steps it is going to take.

European stocks turned red after Beijing's threat with Britain's FTSE 100 Index losing 1.1 percent and the Stoxx Europe 600 down 0.8 percent. Germany's DAX weakened 1.23 percent, while France's CAC 40 fell nearly 1 percent.

Meanwhile, American markets also indicated deeper losses less than 24 hours after the Dow Jones Industrial Average suffered the worst day of the year on Wednesday. The massive selloff was triggered by a recession signal from the bond market, called inverted yield curve, when short-term bond rates are higher than long-term ones (in this case 2-year treasury bonds were higher than 10-year bonds).

There is no purpose to a trade deal with Beijing if it is not on Washington's terms, US president Donald Trump said, shortly after China threatened a retaliation to new US tariffs on its imports.

"China, frankly, would love to make a deal, and it's got to be a deal on proper terms. It's got to be a deal, frankly, on our terms. Otherwise, what's the purpose?" Trump said, speaking to New Hampshire's WGIR radio ahead of his campaign rally in Manchester on Thursday.
